Everlasting Chapter 966 Bloody Light Altar (1/2)

Hearing the command, all the cultivators in the army – from the Earthen Immortals all the way down to the Sky Human stage cultivators – fell silent. The atmosphere around them abruptly became sombre and every single one of them secretly gathered their power.
“In one breath's time, we will attack!” Another wave of thought spread out.
At that moment, there was only a distance of 5,000 kilometres between them and the Sky Pillars Mountain Range. However, as there was a ma.s.sive stealth-type magic array enveloping the army – numbering over a million strong – the cultivators from Heavenly Firmaments Palace did not notice them.
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
One breath's worth of time pa.s.sed and all of them attacked at the same time. All their attacks were reinforced and transformed by the magic array before shooting towards the Sky Pillars Mountain Range in a more effective manner.
“Enemy attack!”
Even before the attacks arrived at the Sky Pillars Mountain Range, the cultivators from Heavenly Firmaments Palace who were there had already noticed it. Thus, a curtain of light instantly rose up from the mountain range before the attacks could make contact. It took the form of a s.h.i.+eld to block all the incoming attacks.
Boom!
It was as though a meteor had struck the land. A bright radiance flared out and a loud boom reverberated outwards. Following that, the s.h.i.+eld of light was overcome and the dazzling attack made its way through to the Sky Pillars Mountain Range.
“Earthen Immortals, attack! Human Immortals, at the ready!” Mu Cang ordered once again.
Within the army, the Earthen Immortals were the ones with the strongest cultivation bases. Their rate of reaction and attack was something that Human Immortals could not match up against. Due to that, in just the blink of an eye after the battle broke out, the Earthen Immortals had already joined forces to unleash their attacks.
After the attacks from the Earthen Immortals came the attacks from the Human Immortals. And so, their attacks flew forward non-stop to destroy a high number of the magic arrays on the Sky Pillars Mountain Range and its stronghold. Next, with Mu Cang in the lead, the Earthen Immortals charged forward. The 10,000 plus Human Immortals formed a ma.s.sive battle formation while the hundreds of thousands of Sky Human stage cultivators rapidly formed a perimeter around the peripheral area of the mountain range. Their actions were specifically for the sake of killing off the low-level enemy cultivators from the Sky Pillars Mountain Range.
As Lan Ling had surmised, the Ascendant Immortals that East Dragon Island sent forth for this operation were the Heavenly Premiers Everwind and Cavernous Void. The two of them hid in the dark, not taking action. Even so, the two of them were not acting carelessly. Should they discover any Ascendant Immortals on the other side taking action, they would not hold back.
“Cavernous Void, some time ago, Heavenly Firmaments Palace secretly sent someone over to contact me. They gave me a grand offer, wanting me to join Heavenly Firmaments Palace.” Heavenly Premier Everwind suddenly sent a Heavenly Premier Cavernous Void a secret vocal transmission.
Heavenly Premier Cavernous Void was taken aback to hear that. Next, he revealed a wry smile. “The same thing happened to me. They sure are putting a lot into this. They actually offered me an Immortal artifact. More, it is a defensive-type Immortal artifact.”
“They also offered me an Immortal artifact. Only, it is an offensive-type Immortal artifact. How tempting! What do you think about this?”
“What is there to think about? Joining Heavenly Firmaments Palace is impossible. East Dragon Island is more reliable. Besides, our disciples have been cultivating in East Dragon Island. We have benefitted a lot from East Dragon Island here. Additionally, do you think East Dragon Island would allow us to join Heavenly Firmaments Palace?”
“That's true. Back then, Ascendant Immortal Green Lotus led his Green Mountain Pavilion to leave East Dragon Island. After that, however, Ascendant Immortal Green Lotus inexplicably disappeared while the million plus cultivators of Green Mountain Pavilion were scattered apart.”
“Though, Heavenly Firmaments Palace is truly very powerful. Even their offer is very tempting!”
“What? Are you tempted already?”
“I'd be lying if I say I'm not. That's an Immortal artifact. Only, Heavenly Firmaments Palace has the support of the Immortal Plane. If we join them, we'll just become cannon fodders.”
“Aren't we cannon fodders now?”
“Be it as it may, Heavenly Yang and the others did get True laws. With a True law, advancing to the True Immortal stage in the future would not be an issue. Could Heavenly Firmaments Palace do that?”
“That's true. Due to the support of the Immortal Plane, Heavenly Firmaments Palace can afford to offer some immortal pills and secret techniques, even immortal dao laws. However, all those are incomparable to True laws. Honestly, if it weren't for the True laws, I would have been incapable of resisting the offer from Heavenly Firmaments Palace.”
“Enough! Let's keep that to ourselves. Since we have decided to ally with East Dragon Island, we should not act like fickle-minded mobs. Furthermore, Absolute, Eternal, Heavensight and the others have already joined forces. They will not be easy to deal with. Although Heavenly Firmaments Palace is formidable, conquering the entire world of cultivation will still be a difficult matter.
“The way I see it, that Chen Feng is not a petty fellow. By the way, I hear that Chen Feng and Bi Qing are not from our Eternal World. Rather, they are from the Celestial Plane. What is that place?”
“The Celestial Plane. I am not sure about that myself, but the cultivators who came from the Immortal Plane appear somewhat fearful of Chen Feng.”
“Eh! The enemy have Ascendant Immortals, but they are not doing anything. Strange, Heavenly Firmaments Palace is clearly on the losing end here. Why are the two Ascendant Immortals on its side so calm about this? Could this be a trap?”
Heavenly Premier Everwind and Heavenly Premier Cavernous Void then sent their divine senses out to scan the Sky Pillars Mountain Range, covering a radius of 2.5 million kilometres with it. However, they failed to find anything strange.
The East Dragon Island Alliance had sent forth many elites for this a.s.sault. Some were experts capable of singlehandedly fighting ten other enemies on the same level as them. Take the cultivators from the Four Great Academies for example. Every single one of them possessed this kind of combat power. Thanks to this and the fact that they were the ones launching a sneak attack, they were able to gain the upper hand in the fight. Despite having more cultivators than the East Dragon Island Alliance, despite trying their very best to counter this attack, the cultivators from Heavenly Firmaments Palace were constantly forced to give ground.
Given how the situation was developing, it would not take long before the East Dragon Island Alliance took the Sky Pillars Mountain Range.
That was indeed the case. The army from the East Dragon Island Alliance gave it their all for this one charge and was able to swiftly enter the Sky Pillars Mountain Range. After a fierce round of melee confrontation, their army managed to gain the upper hand.
“Why do I feel like I am bullying others here? Aren't these fellows just too weak?” Marquis Scarletfire brandished his spear. By then, he had already killed hundreds of enemies. Several of them were Earthen Immortals on the same level as him.
“These fellows are either loose cultivators or those who had their cultivation levels boosted by Heavenly Firmaments Palace using certain special methods. It is only natural for their combat powers to be low.” Lan Ling was also brandis.h.i.+ng a spear. Unlike Marquis Scarletfire, whose body was wreathed in flames thanks to his fire-type const.i.tution, Lan Ling's body was wreathed in crackling lightning thanks to her lightning-type const.i.tution. She gave off an awe-inspiring air of might.
