Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill Chapter 1433 - 604: Scheming on All Sides, The Demon Sect Appears
Previously on Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill...
"The aura of the Despair Demon God is weakening..."
The hoarse voice of the Netherworld Ancestor echoed, his crimson eyes peering through the layers of blood mist toward the distant battlefield.
"Hmph! That old thing has been sealed for a hundred thousand years and is already exhausted."
The master of the "Blood Fiend Sect" sneered, and the nine skulls hanging from his waist let out a piercing giggle: "But being able to make use of his dying gasp to cripple some experts of the ’East Sea Alliance’ is still a death well-earned."
"Everyone, it’s our turn to act."
The Sect Leader of the "Corpse Yin Sect" slowly raised his decaying arm, pointing towards "Bihai Palace": "While the ’East Sea Alliance’ has just withdrawn into the ’Bihai Palace’ and hasn’t found their footing yet, let’s break through the ’Bihai Palace’s’ Grand Array in one go! The essence blood of billions of creatures in the East Sea is enough for us to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm!"
"Exactly so!"
"This great war is our Demon Sect’s opportunity!"
"As long as one of us breaks through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, even the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ will be destroyed! The world belongs to our Demon Sect!"
"It’s a pity that the ’Celestial Net Dao Sect’ people retreated at the crucial moment."
"The Sect Leader of Celestial Net is not a good person; he must be afraid that we would gain the upper hand!"
"Then we have to rely on ourselves!"
...
Thirteen demon path powerhouses simultaneously chanted incantations, and twelve "ancient bronze coffins" suddenly emerged from beneath the surface of the sea!
"Open!"
With the command of the Netherworld Ancestor, the lids of the coffins were flung open, and twelve corpses clad in golden armor stepped out.
Each exuded a terrifying aura of the early-stage Nascent Soul, precisely the treasure of the "Corpse Yin Sect," the "Twelve Heavenly Demon Corpses"!
United by ambition, the Demon Sect demonstrated unprecedented unity, forming an alliance of five sects, gathering some Demon Path Loose Cultivators, small sects, and clan cultivators, creating an army of hundreds of thousands, preparing to partake in a three-way great war.
...
Three days later, at the edge of the "Bihai Palace" Sea Region, the alerted garrison had already activated the Sect Protection Array.
"Hurry! Faster!"
Wen Bin steered the damaged warship, its deck crowded with wounded.
Seeing the crimson tide approaching, he suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, spraying essence blood on the control panel: "Blood-burning Escape Skill!"
The speed of the warship suddenly increased, finally rushing into the range of the "Bihai Palace" Grand Array just as the blood tide crashed down.
A pale blue barrier kept the blood water at bay, emitting a teeth-numbing corrosion sound.
"Fire! Cover the fellow cultivators behind us!"
From the "Bihai Palace" walls, hundreds of spiritual cannons roared simultaneously, paving a path to life for the escaping ones.
Li Yunjing took the opportunity to lead the last batch of survivors into the light curtain, while three yards behind, a massive blood-red claw slammed into the barrier!
"Bang..."
The entire Grand Array shook violently but ultimately did not shatter.
Had this struck before the ’East Sea Alliance’ had formed, the ’Bihai Palace’s’ Grand Array would have been doomed.
But after the alliance’s establishment, many Nascent Soul Realm Masters had discussed how to continue the battle if the "Holy Sound Sea Region" were to fall?
The second line of defense was established on the "Bihai Palace’s" territory.
Thus, the power of the defense array here increased greatly, and the stationed army responded swiftly, promptly activating the array’s power to aid the main force of the ’East Sea Alliance’ in retreating here.
Once safe, everyone looked back, gasping in shock.
The once vast and azure "Holy Sound Sea Region" was now completely covered in crimson.
Between the "Bihai Palace Sea Region" and the "Holy Sound Sea Region," the clear demarcation between red and blue served as the boundary line of the two sea regions.
One side heaven, the other hell.
The Nine-headed Despair Demon God stood at the center of the blood sea, tearing at the sky with its eighteen arms, even turning the clouds dark red.
More terrifyingly, the range of the blood sea was expanding visibly!
"’Bihai Palace’ seems unable to hold it back either."
The Five Elements Master weakly opened his eyes: "This is an ancient Demon God, at its peak at least an Immortal God level existence, even now can exert a portion of the Divinity Transformation Realm’s power!"
"He won’t last much longer!"
The Golden-winged Roc King sneered while clutching his broken arm: "After all, this Demon God is exhausted, at the end of its days! Unless it can now tear through dimensional space and ascend to the Upper Realm!"
"That’s how it is!"
Li Yunjing stared intently at the encroaching crimson, then suddenly turned to the Bihai Palace Master, saying: "Activate the ’Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Array,’ take out all the thunder attribute materials!"
"We must hold on until it dies!"
Li Yunjing continued: "This time, the Demon Sect has made their move, we need to repel them here to form a tripod of power, continuing the struggle against the Demon Sect and the Celestial Net Dao Sect!"
"Alright! Then let us fight to the death! If need be, we will sacrifice my ’Bihai Palace’!"
"Activate the second tier of the Palace Protection Array! All cultivators above the Golden Core stage to the walls!"
The Bihai Palace Master was decisive, knowing Li Yunjing’s plan was correct, and with a command, the entire sea region suddenly lit up with three hundred and sixty-five blue beams of light.
These beams intertwined in the sky, forming a massive net array covering a thousand miles.
This was the "Bihai Palace’s" age-old "Azure Sea Tidal Sound Grand Array"!
On the periphery was the "Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Array" set up with help from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," the duo of arrays complemented each other, their might was not much inferior to the "Nine Suns Dragon Lock Array."
Without the pressure given by the "Celestial Net Dao Sect," everyone still believed they could grind down a significant number of demon spawn.
If "Bihai Palace" were to fall, then retreat to the vicinity of "Lake Heart Sea Region," "Feiyun Sea Region," "Shenxiao Island," there was plenty of space in the East Sea.
As long as the main force of the ’East Sea Alliance’ was intact, they could resist gradually, fighting for decades or centuries.
