Everlasting Chapter 968 Chen Feng Arrives (1/2)

The plan that Heavenly Premier Everwind and Heavenly Premier Cavernous Void came up with was good. However, before they could even attack, a second Ascendant Immortal emerged from the pa.s.sageway, followed immediately by a third Ascendant Immortal. Then, the fourth emerged as well.
Sensing the roiling blood streams within their bodies and the rising dread, the faces of the two Heavenly Premiers turned pale.
Sou! Sou!
As Patriarch Twin Devices was directing the sword array to kill off the blood cultivators below, he was also keeping an eye on what was happening underground. When he sensed waves of b.l.o.o.d.y luminescence – with a concentrated and unbreakable quality – emerging from beneath the ground, a panicked look appeared on his face.
“These Earthen Immortals are easy to handle, but those Ascendant Immortals will be a problem. When will the Island Lord come?”
As he considered that, Patriarch Twin Devices stopped killing off the blood cultivators on the surface. Instead, he mobilized the sword array to form a concentrated attack before firing it into the ground.
At the same time, he also sent Mu Cang a secret vocal transmission to have some Human Immortals lead the Sky Human stage cultivators away from this battle. Only the Earthen Immortals and a number of Human Immortals would stay behind to deal with the blood cultivators.
By then, practically half of the entire Sky Pillars Mountain Range had been covered in b.l.o.o.d.y light. The number of blood cultivators had reached one million. The weakest blood cultivator was at the Sky Human stage. They were no longer something that the current force from the East Dragon Island Alliance could stop.
Sou! Sou!
The Heavenly Premiers Everwind and Cavernous Void appeared on the surface, cutting quite the miserable sight as they did. The number of Ascendant Immortals from the Blood Plane who were right on their heels had risen up to five. If it hadn't been for Patriarch Twin Devices, who mobilized the sword array to help them earlier, they would have a hard time breaking out.
“We cannot stop them! Why aren't the reinforcements here yet?” Heavenly Premier Everwind shouted.
Sou! Sou!
s.p.a.ce was ripped apart and three cultivators appeared high up in the sky. One of them immediately unsheathed his sword and an overbearing astral sword swept forward to hack apart an Ascendant Immortal from the Blood Plane. The remnants of the Ascendant Immortal were utterly evaporated by the sword energy.
It was Patriarch Hegemon Sword. As he was a mid-level Ascendant Immortal, one attack from him was capable of killing off an Ascendant Immortal. As for the other two, they were Heavenly Premier First Origin and the Long-browed Daoist. The Long-browed Daoist was also a newcomer. This was his first time partic.i.p.ating in one of East Dragon Island's war campaigns.
“The Island Lord's cultivation retreat is presently at a critical juncture. He sent us first. Why are there so many of these fellows here?” Patriarch Hegemon Sword was puzzled.
“Someone opened up a pa.s.sageway to the Blood Plane! Those fellows are all Blood cultivators!” Heavenly Premier Everwind rapidly informed them of what happened earlier.
“The Blood Plane? This is problematic. Although the Blood Plane is not as strong as the Immortal Plane, it is on the same level as the Demon Plane and Nether Plane. In fact, it is even more devilish. Heavenly Firmaments Palace must have gone mad.”
“Don't worry! The pa.s.sageway should just be a temporary one. If there are just these Ascendant Immortals to deal with, then there will be nothing to fear.”
Patriarch Hegemon Sword had managed to kill off one of the Ascendant Immortals from the Blood Plane earlier. Thus, he was of the opinion that he could deal with the situation with a few more sword attacks. Suddenly, however, a sky-vaulting, blood-coloured light appeared before them all. The b.l.o.o.d.y light then formed a great blood-coloured hand, which then swung towards Heavenly Premier Everwind.
“Attack!”
“Kill!”
Everyone worked together to fight the great hand. Even so, all of them were slapped aside in the end. Next, the great hand split up into five cultivators; blood energy swirling around the five cultivators.
“Another five!” Heavenly Premier Everwind and the others turned to look at one another. Number wise, their enemy now had the advantage. More, the pa.s.sageway had yet to close up. Who knows how many more of these blood cultivators would show up? Thinking about it, this was not their territory while the cultivators from Heavenly Firmaments Palace had already left. Why don't they leave as well?
Seeing the formidable display of might from the Blood Plane, Heavenly Premier Everwind and the others began thinking about retreating. The invasion of blood cultivators from the Blood Plane was a matter that involved the entire world of cultivation. Why should the East Dragon Island Alliance be the only one to take on this burden?
However, retreating just like that also did not feel right. These blood cultivators had begun killing the moment they appeared and a good number of cultivators from the East Dragon Island Alliance had already fallen to their attacks. Seeing their companions killed off, the cultivators from the East Dragon Island Alliance grew resentful. They tossed aside the thoughts of retreating and instead began fighting with everything they had.
Given the present situation, even if they were to retreat, they would still suffer from some casualties.
Upon emerging, the blood cultivators – Ascendant Immortals included – became like wild animals that had been starving for years. All of them attacked the cultivators from East Dragon Island with a mad-like fervour.
“I'll stop three of them. I'll leave the rest of them to you!” Patriarch Hegemon Sword had the highest cultivation base amongst them all. With a swing, he unleashed a 10,000-zhang-long astral sword and the blood cultivators who were too close to him were instantly evaporated.
In his opinion, due to the restrictions of the Heavenly dao laws, the cultivators from the Blood Plane should not be too powerful. Starter-level Ascendant Immortals should already be the limit. Thus, he should be able to stop their advance for a moment.
But he did not think that such a great unrest would happen in Eternal World. For the cultivators of the Immortal Plane and a True Immortal from the Demon Plane to be able to appear here, it must mean that there was a loophole within the Heavenly dao laws. Either that, or the Heavenly dao laws here were gradually weakening.
