Chapter 1361: The Beginning of A War (1/2)
Sects and clans across the human domains soon learned that a fierce battle had broken out in the Domain of Heaven Python through various means.
“The Domain of Heaven Python is suffering from a massive outsider invasion. Grand Monarch Bloodlust, Grand Monarch Dark Nether, and Grand Monarch Nether Channeler have each led a troop of ninth grade grand patriarchs there!”
“Their target is the seventh Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, Nie Tian!”
“Nie Tian?”
“Perhaps this goes beyond simple retaliation for Nie Tian defeating Ophelia and taking the dark stone from the Demons. This may turn into a inter-racial war that’ll sweep across the human domains!”
“Do we summon our sect’s experts and join the battle in the Domain of Heaven Python?”
“It’s said that Gupi has entered the Domain of Heaven Python as well. Who of us can contend against it?”
“Gupi!”
Three powerful outsider races had sent three grand monarchs, numerous grand patriarchs, and fleets of ancient starships to kill Nie Tian.
The Saint domain experts who had previously evacuated from the Domain of Heaven Python had only learned about Gupi’s impending arrival, but hadn’t realized that outsiders would launch such a massive invasion against an insignificant domain like the Domain of Heaven Python, and that they would be so bent on annihilating Nie Tian, rather than the four great sects.
...
In the Void Spirit Society.
Qi Lianshan went to meet Xuan Guangyu. With a grim expression, he asked, “Vice Sectmaster, do we send powerful experts to join the battle in the Realm of Maelstrom? Miss Pei split open a spatial rift with her Space Boundaries Crystal and headed to the Realm of Maelstrom as soon as she came out of secluded cultivation. Ji Yuanquan went there too. Now he’s leading the defenses, along with Ye Wenhan and Fan Tianze.
“Both Miss Pei and Ji Yuanquan are of great importance to our sect. We can’t just sit back and watch while they fight a dangerous battle, right?”
Inside the white spacious grand hall, Xuan Guangyu, Hong Minghui, and a few others had their eyes fixed on a shiny magical mirror.
Fleets of ancient starships could be seen facing each other in the mirror.
As glorious beams of light blasted across, some of the ancient starships that belonged to the Five Elements Sect and the Phantasms shattered, their debris flying everywhere.
Face grim, Xuan Guangyu looked attentively into the mirror, as if he hadn’t heard what Qi Lianshan had just said.
A number of Void Spirit Society elders who were at the Saint domain stood off to the side. They snuck glances at Xuan Guangyu from time to time, unpleasant looks filling their eyes.
After a long while, Xuan Guangyu seemed to come back to reality as he snorted and said, “Nie Tian is a Son of the Stars of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace. What profound connection does he have with our sect?
“I fail to see the reason why Pei Qiqi and Ji Yuanquan were so keen on putting their lives at risk to help him in the Domain of Heaven Python.”
“Nie Tian might be the key to dealing with Gupi, Vice Sectmaster...” Qi Lianshan said.
Xuan Guangyu let out a derisive snort. “Well, he’ll have to prove his ability to seal Gupi first.
“Even Jiang Yuanchi from the Shadow Society suffered a destructive backlash after sealing Gupi inside of him for ages. No one understands Jiang Yuanchi’s abilities and strength better than I do. Even he failed to suppress Gupi completely. What makes Nie Tian think he can?”
Everyone fell silent.
Xuan Guangyu waved his hand and said, “Alright, this is the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace’s problem. Let them take of it. This meeting is over. This battle in the Domain of Heaven Python may only be the first of many to come. What we need to do now is protect our own territory from any potential outsider invasions.”
Qi Lianshan sighed softly. “Umm... got it.”
...
Outside the Realm of Maelstrom.
Dharma idols that were large enough to prop up heaven and earth were engaged in fierce battles against Grand Monarch Dark Nether and Grand Monarch Nether Channeler in the starry river.
Wielding his divine sword, Fan Tianze was fighting Grand Monarch Bloodlust in a distant area.
Berated by Grand Monarch Dark Nether, Luo Wanxiang hesitated briefly before charging off with his All Manifestations Star Banner, as if to team up with Grand Monarch Bloodlust against Fan Tianze.
Cannon strikes illuminated this area of the dim starry river.
