Living In Another World With A Farm Chapter 8693 8693: The Dragon (1)

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A barrage of thunderous sounds echoed. Li Ruohai and the assembled experts unleashed their attacks indiscriminately. Shifting their focus from the sky, they began to assault the surrounding forest. With each explosive impact, the very world seemed to convulse. The duration of their relentless assault was unknown, but the strain was immense. Many disciples, unable to withstand the violent winds, were flung away, while others succumbed to the biting cold, frozen to death. Yet, as their onslaught continued, the fabric of reality itself began to fray.

After approximately four hours of continuous assault, a deafening roar signaled the world's disintegration. The fragments shattered and dissolved into wisps of spiritual energy, vanishing without a trace. A stunned silence fell as everyone surveyed their surroundings, finding themselves adrift in a featureless void. The island had vanished; nothing remained.

More astonishingly, disciples who had previously suffered broken legs now looked down to find them miraculously healed and functioning perfectly. This revelation sent waves of disbelief and elation through the ranks. They tested their limbs, finding they could move with complete freedom.

A collective cheer erupted from the disciples. While cultivators possessed methods for limb regeneration, the process was arduous, demanding rare and high-grade materials often beyond the reach of ordinary disciples. This meant that such restorative techniques were, in practice, inaccessible to most.

The discovery of their intact legs brought immense joy. Li Ruohai and the other leaders, witnessing this phenomenon, shared in the relief. However, Li Ruohai's voice was grave as he stated, "It appears we have shattered their illusion formation." Ye Mo added, "But we must remain vigilant. Their magical formation was truly impressive; we were ensnared without our knowledge. I fear those disciples frozen to death are truly gone. Their methods are truly insidious. The Bloody Massacre Sect's formations are not to be trifled with."

Nods of agreement rippled through the group. This encounter had instilled a tangible fear. The Bloody Massacre Sect's capabilities were undeniably potent, having baited them into their trap so effectively. While their losses were significant, the silver lining was the successful dismantling of the illusory formation. Had they failed, the cost would have been far greater.

Scanning the desolate expanse, Li Ruohai declared, "This seems to be the Bloody Massacre Sect's territory. They likely pre-established an illusion formation here, implying they anticipated our arrival. We must proceed with extreme caution. The Bloody Massacre Sect's forces could appear at any moment. Here's my proposal: each sect will escort their disciples into the large magic artifact to rest. We shall divide the Island Lord-level experts into three rotating shifts to maintain a constant watch. This will allow our disciples to recover their combat strength as swiftly as possible. In their current state, I fear they cannot withstand a direct assault from the Bloody Massacre Sect's army."

Everyone concurred. Even Sect Master Rahu, who typically vied with Li Ruohai for supremacy, remained silent. He understood implicitly that this was not the time for internal disputes. Such conflict would only benefit their adversary. The Bloody Massacre Sect had already demonstrated their formidable power through the illusory formation, making their terrifying strength palpable. Unity was their only recourse; otherwise, they risked retreating in disgrace, suffering a devastating blow to their collective morale.

Addressing the assembled leaders, Li Ruohai's voice rang with conviction, "Very well, let us make preparations. Once all our disciples have regained their strength, we shall launch our offensive. We must conquer the Bloody Massacre Sect this time. Failure to do so would place us in an exceptionally perilous situation."

Li Ruohai's words struck a chord of understanding with everyone present. If they failed to vanquish the Bloody Massacre Sect, and if Zhao Hai remained alive, with the sect still standing, the six major sects would find themselves adversaries to the entire Blood Sea Realm. Ten millennia of accumulated prestige would crumble to dust. In such a dire outcome, they might well become the sworn enemies of the entire Blood Sea Realm.

Although the strength of the six major sects was still present, the defection of their attached medium-sized sects would significantly impact their power. It is important to note that unified medium-sized sects constituted a formidable force. They could previously command this force when facing external threats, but now, should it be directed against them, they would likely be unable to resist.

The leaders of the various sects deployed their immense magical artifacts, allowing their disciples to enter and recuperate, while leaving a contingent of Island Master level experts to maintain vigilance. The illusory formation was truly daunting; had Li Ruohai not made the decisive order to attack, the repercussions would have been unimaginable.

Consequently, a period of rest was imperative. A proper recuperation was needed to gather the energy required for an assault on the Blood Massacre Sect. In truth, Li Ruohai and the others felt a sense of unease, as the power of the Blood Massacre Sect's Dharma array had far surpassed their expectations.

While everyone was resting, a subtle transformation of the surrounding space went unnoticed. A crimson mist began to ascend gradually, and the heavens appeared to slowly encroach downwards. However, this progression was so imperceptible that even the Island Lord level experts on duty failed to detect it.

Less than two hours into their rest, a multitude of colossal dragons, forged from a blood-like mist, suddenly erupted from the sea of blood. These draconic apparitions, baring their fangs and extending their claws, lunged at the grand magical tools of the assembled sects. This sudden commotion naturally drew the attention of the island Lord level experts on watch. An alarm was immediately sounded, and they swiftly engaged the blood mist dragons.

The sheer power emanating from these blood mist dragons was terrifying. Even some Island Lord level experts found themselves merely able to fend off the dragons' assaults, with no capacity to disperse them. However, by this point, the experts from the various sects had mobilized. They immediately emerged from their large magical weapons and commenced their assault on the encroaching dragons.

Li Ruohai and a handful of other seasoned experts stood atop their massive magical artifacts, their expressions grim as they observed the dragons. They had not anticipated such a swift and ferocious counterattack from the Blood Slaughter Sect. What astonished them further, however, was the complete absence of any Blood Slaughter Sect disciples. Not a single one was visible, a fact that caused them considerable distress and fear.

The invisibility of the Blood Slaughter Sect disciples could be attributed to two possibilities: either the disciples had all concealed themselves effectively, rendering them unseen, or they had not yet arrived. The blood mist dragons currently assailing them might simply be manifestations of the opponent's magical formation. This scenario was entirely plausible, given the previous encounter with the illusory formation.

Turning to the Rahu Sect Master, who stood beside him, Li Ruohai inquired, "Do you believe this is the work of the enemy's formation, or have the forces of the Blood Slaughter Sect already infiltrated? I've heard that the disciples of the Blood Slaughter Sect possess the ability to endure prolonged periods within the blood sea, making concealment within it a possibility."

Gazing at the blood mist dragons, the Rahu Sect Master responded in a deep voice, "Will we not know once we see?" With that, his form moved, and he leaped directly from the large magical artifact, plunging into the blood sea. Li Ruohai watched his action with considerable surprise, quickly grasping the implication. As the Rahu Sect Master had implied, the most direct way to ascertain the enemy's presence was to investigate. Thus, he too moved, leaping into the blood sea, followed by the others.

In mere moments, they had submerged themselves in the blood sea, only to be immediately met with an assault. Several streaks of saber light flashed towards them. Being experts of their caliber, Li Ruohai and the others were by no means easily struck by such attacks. They deftly moved their bodies, evading the saber lights. Simultaneously, they cast their gazes towards the source of the attacks, discerning only fleeting figures that vanished instantly into the blood fog. This realization brought them a measure of relief.

At this moment, they were convinced that the Blood Slaughter Sect's army had indeed arrived. It was precisely this arrival that enabled the summoning of the blood mist dragons to assault them, confirming that these creatures were not automated constructs of the array. This understanding eased their apprehension somewhat. They did not fear direct combat; rather, confronting an utterly incomprehensible formation had been their primary concern.

Still, Li Ruohai immediately commanded, "Clear an area and assess the situation!" The others readily agreed, their gazes sharp. They then began to push back the surrounding blood mist, creating a clear zone around them. Muffled groans could be heard within the mist, but the source remained unseen. Nevertheless, that was sufficient information for their purposes.

Li Ruohai surveyed their surroundings. He understood that the disciples of the Bloody Massacre Sect were undoubtedly concealed within the sea of blood, their domain. Therefore, he urgently declared, "The disciples of the Bloody Massacre Sect can fight within the sea of blood; that is their advantage. This environment severely hinders our spiritual power. Let us not linger here. We shall ascend first. They have already arrived, and we can devise other strategies later." "Yes!" the others chorused, echoing his sentiment. Following Li Ruohai's lead, they swiftly exited the sea of blood and ascended onto their large-scale magical artifacts.

Upon reaching their sizable magical crafts, Li Ruohai immediately bellowed, "All large-scale spiritual artifacts, ascend to higher altitudes at once! Quickly!" Li Ruohai was acutely aware that regardless of the method employed by the enemy to conjure these blood mist dragons, they were necessarily tethered to the blood sea. Human creation implied a connection. If their magical artifacts gained sufficient altitude, the blood mist dragons would inevitably dissipate. Once this occurred, the members of the Bloody Massacre Sect would be compelled to emerge from the blood sea to engage them directly, leaving them exposed and vulnerable.
