Chapter 50 - Endlessly Growing
”The virtuous ones should occupy the Hundred Years Longevity Tree. Since the Weiqi Empyrean Court disciples don't care, we all have the opportunity!”
”Why should it be Gu Hai?”
”His group of cloud beasts is formidable indeed, but so what? There are more of us!”
”He also wants to destroy the Hundred Years Longevity Peach Tree, he does not deserve to have it! Fellow Daoists, let us attack together and break his great array!”
”That's right, let's avenge our senior brothers and break his great array!”
”Whoever robs the Hundred Years Longevity Peach Tree, it's his!”
”KILL!”
”KILL!”...
Jeers and cheers immediately resounded everywhere. Tens of thousands of cloud beasts circling around the array immediately roared together, charging towards the cloud array at the same time.
ROAR!
ROAR!
ROAR!...
The calls of tens of thousands of cloud beasts shook the sky, grand and imposing. It was ten times fiercer than the great battle that had taken place a few days ago. Surging cloud beasts charged at the clouds array.
”KILL THEM!” Thousands of soldiers cried together from within the clouds array as their slaughter qi proliferated in all directions.
BOOM!
Tens of thousands of cloud beasts pressed forward, charging into the clouds array before a thunderous crash echoed out from inside the cloud array.
The cultivators in the outer ring who were holding the attitude of wait and watch at first, also could not sit back at this moment and stormed in immediately. More and more cultivators charged into the array. A great battle broke out.
”KILL, KILL, KILL!”
ROAR!
BANG BOOM BANG!
An intense battle broke out in the sky, the grand array was churning continuously. However, the cultivators outside could not see what was happening inside the grand array whatsoever. All they could sense was the sound of intense fighting happening inside the array.
The mighty army and tens of thousands of cloud beasts, two sides were confronting each other intensely.

Ninth Young Master narrowed his eyes, staring at the battlefield in the sky.
”Ninth Young Master, the fighting in the sky is quite aggressive, right? Maybe so many cloud beasts can destroy Gu Hai's grand array immediately, and seize the Hundred Years Longevity Peach Tree?”
”Certainly! Ninth Young Master, but what should we do if the Hundred Years Longevity Peach Tree is damaged?”...
The group of black-robed men grew anxious.
”Inform everyone to wait for my order, once a lot more outsiders have charged into the large array, turning the battlefield into chaos, we will immediately sally!” ordered Ninth Young Master in a heavy voice.
”Yes!”

In another mountain valley...
Meng Tai was coldly watching with the congregation of Ascendant Hall disciples.
”Your Grace, shall we charge?” asked an Ascendant Hall disciple, worried.
Meng Tai stated, narrowing his eyes, ”I haven't seen Gu Hai again. The grand array should not be broken that easily!”
”But...!”
”There is no ‘but’. We have already suffered significant losses previously, have you still not learned your lesson? Gu Hai's shrewdness is bottomless. He definitely has methods to deal with this. All Ascendant Hall disciples will follow me closely; we are not going to attack, but find Gu Hai's weakpoint with me slowly!” ordered Meng Tai in an imposing manner.
”Yes, Your Grace!” answered the congregation of Ascendant Hall disciples.

Atop a summit...
Great Wisdom King patiently looked at the fierce battle happening in the sky, wielding the five-colored scepter in his hand. Standing behind him were the group of people dressed in sun-patterned black robes.
”Your Highness has all-seeing insight and can penetrate the fog, I wonder what is happening inside the grand array?” inquired a sun-patterned black robed man curiously.
”What a wonderful array. It seems Gu Hai had indeed understood how to mobilize this world's forces of heaven and earth. Haha! It's a bit interesting!” stated Great Wisdom King, chuckling.
”What about Empress Wa? Is Empress Wa safe?” asked that sun-patterned black robed man, distressed.
”She is all right! Empress Wa of this life is too immature!” said Great Wisdom King calmly.
”Then it's all good!” the congregation of sun-patterned black robed men said, laughing.
”Lift the divine coffin!” ordered the Great Wisdom King in a dignified manner.
”Yes!”
The group of black-robed men at the center quickly picked up that huge coffin and placed it behind Great Wisdom King. While at the it, the congregation of black-robed men stood to the left and right respectfully, seemingly guarding the coffin.
”Oh? Growing endlessly?” Great Wisdom King's eyes suddenly flickered with bright gleam, looking at the sky.

Inside the clouds array...
BOOM!
The two armies were confronting each other.
A large group of cloud beasts charged into the array, fighting with the opposite side again and again. Cloud beasts, in exceptionally fierce numbers, charged straight at the group of soldiers. The number of cloud beasts was far more than the number of soldiers. However, at the end of the day, the troop's unified assault was far stronger than lone cloud beasts.
”KILL, KILL, KILL, KILL!” the soldiers shouted again and again as they continuously attacked the groups of cloud beasts, wielding their long sabers.
BANG!
As a soldier along with his horse exploded suddenly, the cloud beasts in the rear desperately charged forward.
BOOM!
AHHH...
An outsider plummeted straight towards the ground from tens of thousands of zhang high in the air after his cloud beast blew up.
Both sides suffered casualties. While the desperate battle continued, the battlefield grew fiercer and more frigid.
Gu Hai, Gao Xianzhi, Chen Tianshan, and Little Rou stood at the innermost region, occupying the four generals, overlooking the battle in the outer ring.
Their gazes became ice cold as the army at the outer ring attacked the invaders.
”Attack, attack quickly, Gu Hai's mounted soldiers are falling!”
”Charge, Gu Hai's mounted soldiers are dying, he doesn't have as many soldiers as us, charge!”
”Faster, faster, faster! Gu Hai is about to lose. Faster!”...
As the battle progressed, the outsiders' eyes turned redder, because victory seemed to be within their sight, they were about to win! Even though Gu Hai's army didn't retreat, the number of soldiers was decreasing by the minute, which was quite satisfactory. The Hundred Years Longevity Peach Tree came closer and closer as everyone charged towards the center.
AHHH!
