Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1750 - 941: Fateful Encounter, Immortal Technique of Great Success

Half a year.

For a full six months, the Sea Demon Army led by the Dragon Emperor ravaged half of the southeastern coast like a swarm of locusts, slaughtering countless cultivation sects and cultivation families along the way.

It wasn’t until six months later that the Dragon Emperor finally breached the Southeast Cultivation World’s strongest sect, the Fubo Sect, an event that quickly shook the entire Jingguang Continent. Countless cultivators fled in panic without putting up a fight, desperately escaping the eastern coast.

Unexpectedly, after the fall of the Fubo Sect, the Dragon Emperor and his entourage mysteriously disappeared.

As for the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor’s army, there were various speculations. Some said the Dragon Emperor had withdrawn to the outer sea, planning to return to the continent after a brief rest. Others suggested that the Dragon Emperor’s stealth and retreat might indicate a larger conspiracy being plotted in secret.

No matter how people speculated, the Dragon Emperor remained unseen.

Thus, in the following months, various cultivation forces within the Jingguang Continent chose to proactively shrink their forces and remained on high alert to guard against a sudden attack by the Dragon Emperor.

Just half a month later, millions of sea beasts suddenly surged upstream along the White Dragon River, seemingly launching a massive inland invasion.

This time, the Overlord-level force of Jingguang Continent, the Eight Sceneries Sect, reacted quickly, deploying seven Daoist Soldier Corps as soon as the sea beast army invaded.

Under the leadership of several Nascent Soul Ancestors, the Daoist Soldier Corps launched a surprise attack on the sea beasts’ vanguard at Kui Ling Gorge, effectively halting the sea beast army below the gorge, preventing further advance.

While the attention of numerous cultivation forces was drawn to the bloody battle at Kui Ling Gorge, above the Heavenly Alliance headquarters at Wensheng Mountain, dark clouds suddenly gathered, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as a torrential downpour seemed imminent.

At this moment, in a pavilion on Wensheng Mountain, an old Taoist with a distinguished appearance gazed at the sky filled with dark clouds, a worried expression crossing his face.

"...The black clouds press the city, threatening its destruction, the storm approaches, and the mountain is covered! Today, the celestial phenomena changed suddenly, the aura of tribulation rising everywhere. I hope I’m just overthinking... Alas." The old Taoist sighed and then turned to look at a middle-aged scholar in white robes and a jade crown, asking, "Mr. Zhou, has the alliance leader emerged?"

The middle-aged scholar replied solemnly, cupping his hands, "Reporting to the Vice Alliance Hierarch, the Master has not yet emerged."

The old Taoist’s secular name was Xiang Xinwu, formerly the Sect Leader of Qingyun Sect.

Daoist Xiang had profound cultivation, making his name known across Jingguang Continent as a Nascent Soul Cultivator for centuries.

A hundred years ago, Daoist Xiang was persuaded by the Heavenly Alliance Hierarch Zhang Xusheng to take on the role of Vice Alliance Hierarch.

Daoist Xiang’s face turned troubled again, gazing at the dark clouds filling the sky, trying to say a few words of caution, but just as he began to speak, a rumbling sound interrupted him.

Rumble~

Electric snakes danced wildly within the clouds, instantly lighting up the dim Tianqiong. With resounding thunder, the sky suddenly poured with heavy rain.

Raindrops pounded down, turning into dense, white lines in the blink of an eye. Wensheng Mountain was soon shrouded in a misty haze of water vapor, the many buildings becoming blurred and indistinct.

The torrential rain poured endlessly, a curtain of water soon draping below the eaves of palaces, with the rain flowing freely, quickly submerging the bluestone pavements before channeling into the dark ditches along the road.

Buzzing!

Amidst the hazy rain and fog covering the mountain, layers of faint white barriers gradually rose around each pavilion, blocking the rain outside. Numerous cultivators stepped out into the open, pointing at the increasingly heavy rain.

Seeing the increasing rainstorm, Daoist Xiang felt an inexplicable sense of foreboding in his heart. As his thoughts shifted, he unconsciously began calculating with his fingers.

Just a few breaths later, Daoist Xiang’s face suddenly changed dramatically, instinctively blurting out, "The flood overwhelms the Golden Mountain, Kan and Li reverse... not good!"

Before his words were finished, Daoist Xiang shot out like an electric flash. A streak of golden light burst from his sleeve, piercing through the layers of rain and disappearing into the back mountain.

At the same time, Daoist Xiang soared into the sky, his overpowering Divine Thought sweeping in all directions, transforming into a resounding voice, "A great enemy has come, all cultivators hear the truth, quickly open——"

With a deafening crash, a silver-white thunderbolt as thick as a barrel fell from the sky, striking Daoist Xiang directly.

In an instant, a huge, blinding Thunder Ball appeared in the sky, with the blinding Electric Light drowning this Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Moo~

At that same moment, a piercing and astonishing Long Yin suddenly echoed through Cloud Sky, as gigantic Sea Giant Beasts tore through the vast clouds, ferociously descending upon Wensheng Mountain.

Dragon King Whale, Sea-covering Shark, Cross-sea Crab, Heavenly Dominating Chapter... These dominant Demon Kings appeared in their True Bodies, each carrying storms, precisely crashing into various important structures on Wensheng Mountain, deploying the Demon King’s Magical Domain and commencing their massive harvesting of life.

Underprepared, the Heavenly Alliance cultivators suffered immediate heavy casualties amidst screams and blood-curdling cries, as countless remains and blood flew through the air, quickly turning intermixed with the rain into rivers of blood, creating a scene too horrific to behold.

Worried about the safety of the mountain gate, the vast majority of the Nascent Soul Elders within the Heavenly Alliance had long since returned to guard the gate, leading to a severe shortage of personnel at Wensheng Mountain and a significant weakening of its overall power.

After the Demon Kings launched their assault, the Heavenly Alliance headquarters suddenly found hardly any Nascent Soul Ancestor present to resist, resulting in a lopsided situation as the Heavenly Alliance’s side quickly crumbled and suffered countless deaths and injuries.

A few moments later, Daoist Xiang dashed out of the thunderous cage with a soiled appearance.

It was only then that he discovered in shock and rage that the Heavenly Alliance headquarters had already turned into a battlefield.

Watching as one after another of the Outer Sea Demon Kings wantonly slaughtered the Heavenly Alliance cultivators, Daoist Xiang’s heart was filled with both surprise and urgency. Yet, he did not stop the Demon Kings’ slaughter, instead, his figure flickered and he landed in an instant on the Wensheng Palace Square.
