Blocking the Realm Gate (Part 1)
In Mo Province, a massive Realm Gate hundreds of feet high stands between heaven and earth. Ten pyramids formed by the Divine Wind Clan Army surround the Realm Gate. Further away, in the octagonal arrangement of the heavens, eight Sage Manifestation cultivators from the Lu Wu Realm stand majestically, sitting cross-legged. Their aura spans the sky like eight great mountains, suppressing the ten Divine Wind Army Corps.
Call!!
A strong wind blew, and powerful auras gathered from all directions. Feng Li looked around and felt an immense force pressing down from the sky. He knew that the Lu Wu Realm was about to start a war to seal the Realm Gate.
"All troops on alert!" Feng Li raised his hand, and the aura of the ten Divine Wind Army Corps changed instantly. A murderous aura soared into the sky, and a huge vortex with a diameter of hundreds of miles appeared in the sky. The power of the Storm roared and surged, and the sound of Thunder was endless.
Yang Yusheng stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the Divine Wind Army Corps before him. His right hand, gripping his Long Spear, tightened slightly, and a fiery glint appeared in his eyes. "One day, my Purple Moon Army will also become this powerful!"
With thoughts racing through his mind, Yang Yusheng said without turning his head, "Tell the people to be on high alert. This war is different from before. If we want to make the 100,000 Divine Wind Army retreat, we will pay a heavy price, and even some Sage Manifestation beings may perish!"
"Yes, sir!" the lieutenant replied, beginning the final pre-battle mobilization.
Yang Yusheng raised his eyes and looked in other directions.
In this battle, the Yang Household mobilized 3,000 Purple Moon Army, 800 million ordinary cultivators, and over a hundred War Flying Vessels, with the Fire God Dao Soldiers also stationed there. If they were to launch an attack simultaneously, even Sage Manifestation cultivator would have to frown.
Besides the Yang Household, there are seven other major forces: the Mountain and River Hall, the Qin Household, the Fire Spirit Palace, the White Cloud Sect, the Cloudwater Sect, the Heavenly Separation Palace, and the Golden Roc Clan.
Compared to these long-established forces, the power mobilized by the Yang Household ranks last, only slightly stronger than that of the Qin Household.
After more than ten days of fierce fighting, all the major forces have freed up their resources. The strongest Golden Roc Clan even sent a Sage Manifestation Golden Peng, whose wings were like clouds hanging from the sky, with golden light shining down, exuding a domineering and awe-inspiring aura.
As the various forces gathered, True Lord Wan Lei stood up, his back straight, like Overlord Spear piercing the sky. A faint sound of Lei Ming resounded within his body. Then, bolts of Thunder burst forth, and his full head of white hair instantly turned blue-purple, his pupils seemingly containing two floating seas of lightning.
"Kill!!"
After a furious roar, True Lord Wan Lei strode forward. As he walked, his body began to expand endlessly until it filled the heavens and earth, reaching a height of a thousand feet. Behind him floated a dark purple, raging sea of lightning, with endless bolts of Thunder crackling and striking the sky, creating an extremely terrifying sight.
"Sage Manifestation Dharma Form!" Yang Tianyou, hundreds of thousands of miles away, narrowed his eyes, a hint of longing flashing across his face.
The biggest difference between Sage Manifestation cultivator and Spirit Transformation cultivator is that the latter can merge with heaven and earth and unite with the void, thereby condensing Dharma Form.
These Dharma Forms take the shape of mountains and rivers, the form of the sun, moon and stars, or the shadows of Deities and Yaomo. They draw upon boundless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to empower themselves, enabling them to unleash formidable combat power far exceeding that of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
The Dharma Form of True Lord Wan Lei is a boundless sea of Thunder, within which lies an exceptionally terrifying power of Thunder; once he unleashes it, it will be earth-shattering.
Boom!!
"Thunder God Whip!!"
Thousands upon thousands of bolts of Thunder condensed in the hands of the True Lord Wan Lei, transforming into a long whip of Thunder, carrying a formidable power capable of splitting mountains and cleaving seas, and striking directly at the most powerful Sacred Land- level Divine Wind Army Corps.
Several pairs of wings on Feng Li's back vibrated wildly, with the power of Thunder and Storm dancing on the feathers.
Ten thousand Divine Wind Clan soldiers clasped their hands together in front of their chests, and halos of light spread across the sky. Various Daos complex Spirit Mark flashed by, and the surging power, like a river, was continuously poured into Feng Li's body above, causing his aura to rise steadily.
Cracking!!
A thunderous cry of an eagle, capable of piercing the clouds, resounded across the sky. Wind-Thunder Griffin, draped in wind and thunder, carrying the Yunxiao on its back and with a wingspan of a thousand feet, suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
With a fierce slash, the eagle claws, interwoven with the Wind-Thunder Power, cracked open the space with a snap, clashing violently with the Thunder God Whip amidst the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Boom!!
With a deafening roar, a terrifying shockwave swept outwards, instantly creating boundless dust on the earth. A large hole was punched in the Tribulation Clouds above, allowing sunlight to stream down and envelop the thousand-foot-tall Thunder God and the Wind-Thunder Griffin, who were locked in a frenzied battle.
"Kill!!" The leader took the lead, and the rest of the troops on both sides could not be stopped. With their fighting spirit surging, they completely launched this large-scale war.
The other eight Sage Manifestation powerhouse each faced a Divine Wind Army Corps, their Sage Manifestation powers colliding and creating waves of Spiritual Qi.
The terrifying commotion of the battle alerted powerful figures within hundreds of thousands of miles, and even several high-ranking members of the Alliance, far away on Four Symbols Island, cast their gazes to watch the battle unfold.
On the Wind-Chasing Boat, three thousand Purple Moon Army stood proudly. Yang Yusheng, Long Spear, pointed at the last Divine Wind Army Corps and roared, "Attack!"
"Kill!!"
Not only the Yang Household, but also several major forces such as the Fire Spirit Palace, the Mountain and River Hall, and the White Cloud Sect gathered together, and all their power was poured onto the Divine Wind Army Corps in front of them in an instant.
Cracking!!
The power of this Divine Wind Army Corps is entirely concentrated in its Army Commander, giving him the strength to contend with even Sage Manifestation powerhouse.
A divine eagle with pure blue wings and surrounded by countless Gang Wind suddenly appeared in the world.
The divine eagle cried out, showing no sign of fear despite being besieged by numerous Province-Level Power. Its wings folded, creating countless tiny Storm vortexes that absorbed the surging tide of attacks.
Then, the azure wings slashed fiercely like knives, their target being none other than the weakest Qin Household Fleet.
"Not good!" Qin Qi, who was in command of the Fleet, was suddenly startled and quickly formed a defensive formation. A thick black barrier rose up and blocked the rapidly slashing wings.
Tear!!
Its wings moved with incredible speed, swooping down like a streak of Azure Light. In less than a tenth of a second, it tore a hole in the Qin Household Fleet's defensive barrier. Countless Gang Wind rushed in through the gap, and thousands of Qin Lineage members died on the spot.
"You wicked creature!" A thunderous roar rang out, and a dazzling, blazing golden light shot out from the Fire Spirit Palace Fleet beside the Qin Household.
The power of this golden light had clearly reached the threshold of the Manifestation of Sage Manifestation level.
Having already suffered considerable damage from the combined attack of numerous forces, the Divine Eagle did not directly confront the golden light from the Fire Spirit Palace. Instead, it used its extreme speed to dodge it.
"What?" Lihuo High Person was extremely shocked. He knew the speed of that golden light all too well; even Sage Manifestation powerhouse wouldn't be able to dodge it so easily. Yet this Storm Griffin dodged it so easily?
"It's too fast. We must free up our strength to restrain its movements, otherwise we will be defeated one by one!" Yang Yusheng said through the Law Treasure weapon.
"The Purple Moon Army Commander is right. How about this: each force sends half of its Fleet to suppress the enemy from a distance, while the other half attacks from nearby areas?" said True Person Ziyang of the Mountain and River Hall via telepathy.
"Very well, let's do as Brother Ziyang says!" Yan Li True Person of the White Cloud Sect immediately responded.
Other factions also agreed to this method, and even the Golden Roc Clan did not object.
Soon, the forces were divided: half of them were deployed to restrain the Storm Griffin's movements on the Outer Periphery, while the other half engaged it in a counterattack!
