"Senior, can Shenxuan Sect... win?"
Nangong Wenjian couldn't help but ask.
"Win?"
Northern Dipper Sword Revered gently shook his head, his gaze profound: "You should consider how many people Shenxuan Sect will have left after this battle."
"Then Senior, are you confident... in dealing with these Demonic Path Cultivators?"
Nangong Wenjian pressed, hope in his eyes.
Northern Dipper Sword Revered said indifferently: "In terms of cultivation alone, that Heavenly Devil Sect Leader is naturally no match for me.
But if he uses the Heavenly Demon Sect's ultimate trump cards, the outcome... is still a fifty-fifty chance."
He gave an ambiguous answer.
Higher cultivation does not guarantee a definite win; Magic Treasures, Divine Abilities, secret arts, and even timing and geographical advantage can all influence the battle.
He was only there to join the fun, so it was naturally impossible for him to bring the Cangming Sword Palace's Legacy.
"..."
Nangong Wenjian's heart sank, and the feeling of despair deepened.
On the other side.
Boom!
The Heavenly Demon Sect's gigantic flying ship floated in the air, then landed.
Numerous powerful Devil Cultivators disembarked, and for a time, Devilish Qi surged to the heavens.
The Shenxuan Sect Disciples gathered in the city found their breathing involuntarily stifled, and fear quietly spread.
In the crowd, Lu Fan gripped the hilt of his sword, his knuckles slightly white.
The monstrous Devilish Qi, as if it wanted to devour heaven and earth, pressed down on everyone's nerves like a tangible substance.
Immediately after, the Demon Lord's voice also sounded in his mind:
"This unfilial Disciple has actually stepped into Tribulation Transcendence Realm so quickly. If you were given more time, it wouldn't be difficult for you to enter Tribulation Transcendence Realm with your Aptitude."
"This battle is extremely perilous. At a critical juncture, this Old Ancestor will naturally lend you strength, but if things are beyond hope, you must prioritize preserving your life! With this Old Ancestor here, even if a Body Integration Cultivator makes a move, I am confident I can take you and escape."
"Remember, where there's life, there's hope!"
The Demon Lord's tone was unprecedentedly solemn at this moment, also fearing that this kid might act rashly.
After all, it would be two lives lost then.
Though the hatred in his heart almost overflowed, recognizing reality was more important.
Lu Fan's brows were tightly furrowed, and he remained silent.
However, Lin Potian, beside him, appeared much more relaxed.
He had lived quite freely these past years.
After he Breakthrough to Golden Core, he was found to have a Hegemonic Body, and he immediately became a True Disciple.
When the news spread, his childhood sweetheart, who had abandoned him in the inner Sect back then, actually tried to rekindle their old relationship, but he unceremoniously kicked her out, sweeping away years of pent-up resentment.
"Senior Brother Lu, when the fighting starts, just hide behind me!"
Lin Potian patted his sturdy chest, full of confidence,
"My Hegemonic Body is newly formed; I can withstand a hundred or so attacks from Cultivators of the same Rank without a problem!"
"Oh, please!"
Lu Fan glared at him, annoyed,
"Even Soul Transformation Cultivators might not survive then! You should worry about yourself first!"
Their casual bickering, imperceptibly, diluted the heavy pressure pervading the air.
"Finally willing to show himself."
Han Xuanji, hidden in the Void Realm, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
The Heavenly Devil Sect Leader, Yu Hantian, stepped out, standing beneath the sky.
He wore the Heavenly Demon Battle Armor, and behind him, a towering demonic phantom flickered indistinctly. His immense Tribulation Transcendence Realm pressure poured out unreservedly, like an invisible mountain, instantly weighing heavily on the hearts of all Cultivators present.
"This Seat has already achieved the Tribulation Transcendence Dao!"
Yu Hantian's voice was cold and grand, echoing through the clouds, each word seemingly striking everyone's heart,
"If you all pledge allegiance to my Heavenly Demon Sect, there is still a way to survive, otherwise... Shenxuan Sect, from top to bottom, not even a chicken or dog will be left!"
Tribulation Transcendence Realm!
Zhou Li's pupils constricted. It was his first time seeing a strong Cultivator of this Rank.
Even though he had already entered the Void Realm, facing such a strong Cultivator, he still felt fear from the depths of his heart.
At this moment, Zhou Li also secretly made up his mind: he must reach this Realm!
No.
He wanted to surpass this Realm and become an immortal in legends!
Zhou Li secretly observed the battlefield situation. If anything went wrong, he would run away.
Although he thought Shenxuan Sect was good, he didn't want to lose his life for it.
[Yu Hantian: Tribulation Transcendence Realm First Layer, Heavenly Devil Sect Leader. When he was young, his family was destroyed due to the Righteous and Demonic Path war, so he deeply hated Righteous Path Cultivators. After joining the Heavenly Demon Sect, he became a Disciple of Heavenly Night Demon Lord and rose rapidly. Later, he was not satisfied with his current status and ambushed Heavenly Night Demon Lord, causing him to escape with only a remnant soul. Now, having entered Tribulation Transcendence Realm, he has gathered many forces to try and encircle Shenxuan Sect.]
Han Xuanji saw this guy wearing the Heavenly Demon Battle Armor, looking very arrogant, and couldn't help but feel a little disdain.
When he was in Soul Transformation, he heard that the other party was about to enter Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and he felt some pressure.
Many years had passed.
He was about to Breakthrough to the second layer, while the other party had only just stabilized his Tribulation Transcendence Realm First Layer cultivation.
"Can I instantly kill him with one sword?"
Han Xuanji pondered.
The previous Demon Emperor was instantly killed by his one sword, possibly because the other party was careless and had no Magic Treasure to protect him.
This Heavenly Devil Sect Leader clearly had many good things, otherwise he wouldn't dare to attack Shenxuan Sect immediately after Breakthrough.
"To be safe, I should use a bit more strength."
Han Xuanji made up his mind and was about to make a move.
Suddenly, a voice came from the horizon.
"Hmph! You insignificant scoundrels of the Heavenly Demon Sect, do you really think my Shenxuan Sect has no one?!"
A clear and cold voice, as if piercing through thousands of miles of clouds, suddenly resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Accompanying the voice, a figure stepped leisurely from the horizon.
The newcomer wore a simple green Daoist robe, with long ink-black hair flowing to his waist. His face was refined and handsome, and his temperament was ethereal and transcendent, like an exiled immortal from a painting.
He casually held one hand behind his back, while the other played with a warm, white jade flute.
No need to think much, another old monster skilled in maintaining his youth and unfathomably deep.
Xuan Weizi's face couldn't help but show joy.
As the Sect Master, he naturally knew all about the Grand Elders and strong Cultivators of the Sect who were traveling outside.
"It's Elder Tianyu."
"Three thousand years ago, Elder Tianyu was already at Body Integration Peak. Now, he should have also entered Tribulation Transcendence Realm."
Xuan Weizi announced a piece of exciting news.
Upon hearing this, the heavy stone weighing on the hearts of everyone on the Peak finally dropped by half.
Shenxuan Sect had a Legacy of ten thousand years; how could it not have strong Cultivators?
It was just that most of them traveled in all directions, and not many could return in time.
Fortunately, a strong Cultivator of Tribulation Transcendence Realm returned in time this time. With him present, the pressure of directly confronting the Heavenly Demon Sect greatly reduced.
"Oh? It's this one. I heard he was doing very well on the overseas immortal island. He's actually willing to come back?"
Northern Dipper Sword Revered, observing from afar, nodded slightly, revealing the truth with a single remark.
At their level, their intelligence network was naturally extensive.
Especially for Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators from large Sects like him.
Boom—!!!
Two terrifying Tribulation Transcendence Realm auras collided like two invisible giant mountains!
In an instant, wind and thunder surged in the sky, thick Qi waves swept madly in all directions, various Divine Abilities and Spells flickered on and off in the Void Realm, and a terrifying aura enveloped an area of a thousand miles!
The two strong Cultivators of Tribulation Transcendence Realm exchanged no unnecessary words. The moment their gazes met, their Battle Intent had soared to its Peak.
Even though both were fighting tens of thousands of feet in the sky, the faint aftershocks cascading down from high altitude were enough to shatter mountains and crack the earth.
Seeing this, Han Xuanji, hidden in the shadows, temporarily suppressed the idea of making a move.
"Tribulation Transcendence Realm Second Layer... he firmly suppressed that Devil Head in terms of Realm."
"Barring any accidents, taking down this Yu Hantian should not be a problem."
"Let's watch first."
Han Xuanji observed the battle in the sky, while also scanning the other members of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
Soon.
He discovered something unusual.
"Oh? A strange fellow has snuck in."
