The next moment, three Saint Kings from the Zhou Family arrived. All of them cultivated the Water Dao. As the three Saint Kings unleashed their divine abilities, a massive wave surged forth, crashing towards the sea of flames.
The instant the giant wave met the sea of flames, a "sizzling" sound erupted. Superheated steam filled the entire space, obscuring vision.
However, within the steam, the Zhou Family disciples could vaguely discern a colossal behemoth appearing before them.
The three Saint Kings were startled by the massive creature and exclaimed, "It's the Great Sun Divine Sect's guardian beast, the Crimson Flame Divine Lion!"
The Crimson Flame Divine Lion exhaled a blast of air, dispersing the steam and revealing its true form. It was a gigantic lion, dozens of feet tall, with fur the color of crimson gold. Crimson flames danced around its body like a scarlet cloak.
The next moment, the Crimson Flame Divine Lion roared and charged at the three Zhou Family Saint Kings. Their expressions immediately changed, becoming grave as they retreated.
This Crimson Flame Divine Lion was the Great Sun Divine Sect's guardian beast, with a cultivation base at Saint King Great Perfection. The three of them alone were no match for it.
Furthermore, the attacking enemy was definitely more than just one Crimson Flame Divine Lion. They swept their divine senses and, as expected, behind the Crimson Flame Divine Lion, the teleportation array continued to light up. Cultivators clad in crimson robes adorned with a sun emblem appeared one after another – they were disciples of the Great Sun Divine Sect.
After the Great Sun Divine Sect disciples emerged, they swiftly attacked the Zhou Family members. Most of the Great Sun Divine Sect disciples cultivated the Flame Dao. Instantly, countless flames formed various attacks, making the space seem as if it were burning.
"Damn it, why are people from the Great Sun Divine Sect coming from here? Could there be a traitor in our Zhou Family!"
"Damn it! These Great Sun Divine Sect disciples are clearly prepared. They're too much of a counter for us!"
The Zhou Family disciples immediately engaged in a fierce battle with the Great Sun Divine Sect disciples. Blood splattered everywhere, and within mere moments, dozens of bodies fell.
"Stop them! They're trying to destroy the great formation from within!" Several Saint Kings from the Great Sun Divine Sect charged towards the Zhou Family's protective formation. The Zhou Family disciples rushed to block them. The Fifth Grand Elder was already seething with rage, never expecting a traitor within the Zhou Family!
Just as the Fifth Grand Elder was about to intercept the group of Great Sun Divine Sect Saint Kings, an elder clad in a crimson-gold robe blocked him. It was the Old Ancestor of the Great Sun Divine Sect.
"Old Ghost Chi, get out of my way!" the Fifth Grand Elder roared, his great saber emanating a cold glint. He was a Quasi-Supreme Grandmaster of the Blade Dao, his saber techniques reaching the pinnacle of perfection. Although only at the early stage of Supreme Being, he possessed the combat power of a mid-stage Supreme Being.
"Heh heh, I can't let you pass," the Great Sun Divine Sect's Old Ancestor chuckled, conjuring a ball of crimson-gold flame in his hand. The flame took the shape of a dragon and let out a dragon's roar.
The two Supreme Beings immediately clashed. The residual energy from their battle was terrifying, capable of annihilating Saint cultivators. The shockwaves from the two Supreme Beings' fight struck the Zhou Family's protective formation, making it precarious.
Most protective formations were like this: outwardly as tough as a turtle shell, but inwardly as fragile as an eggshell, shattering after a few hits.
As expected, in just a few moments, the Zhou Family's protective formation shattered. However, this outcome was within the Zhou Family's expectations.
It was just that the sudden attack from the Great Sun Divine Sect had thrown the Zhou Family into a momentary disarray, with some preparations not yet in place.
"Charge! The Sect Master said that whatever we can get is ours!"
"High risk, high reward! A chance to soar to the heavens and strike it rich overnight, brothers, follow me and kill!"
Countless cultivators from the Anti-Zhou Alliance surged into the Zhou Family. The Zhou Family disciples rose to resist, and a continuous slaughter ensued, with blood spraying and bodies falling.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Those who offend my Zhou Family will be punished, no matter how far away!"
"Take down these scumbags and show them how powerful our Zhou Family is!"
At this moment, the might of the Immortal Zhou Family was also displayed. The disciples of the War Hall, who were always ready, rushed out amidst the roars.
The War Hall disciples moved in perfect order, instantly forming battle formations.
Every disciple in the War Hall was a cultivator at or above the Spirit Channeling Realm.
Centurions were at least Cycle Realm powerhouses.
Chilarchs were at least Feather Ascension Realm powerhouses.
Myriarchs were at least Saint Realm powerhouses.
A battle formation formed by a Cycle Realm Centurion leading a hundred Spirit Channeling Realm War Hall disciples was enough to fight beyond their level.
Tens of thousands of War Hall disciples surged out, directly engaging the cultivators of the Anti-Zhou Alliance.
The Law Enforcement Hall, Assassination Hall, Formation Hall, and others also took action. The personnel from just these few halls were stronger than most top-tier powers.
The Hall Masters of each hall in the Immortal Zhou Family were all Saint King Great Perfection powerhouses.
Ordinary elders were all Saint Realm powerhouses, while elite elders were Saint King Realm powerhouses.
They might not act, but when they did, they made their presence known!
The Immortal Zhou Family displayed terrifying strength at this moment.
Even without the Savage Great Emperor Zhou Kuang, the Immortal Zhou Family was undeniably the number one power in the Azure World!
And the prodigies of the Immortal Zhou Family were also fighting fiercely on the battlefield.
Zhou Xingchen was a prodigy among the younger generation of the Zhou Family. He was a Saint Great Perfection powerhouse at less than a hundred years old!
Furthermore, he cultivated the Sword Dao and was a Quasi-Grandmaster of the Sword Dao, his swordsmanship being exquisite and peerless.
Zhou Xingchen held a divine sword, his sword intent soaring into the heavens. As the Sword Dao prodigy of the Zhou Family's younger generation, many had set their sights on him.
If they could kill Zhou Xingchen, they would surely achieve fame!
At this moment, seven Saint realm powerhouses surrounded Zhou Xingchen. The weakest among them was at the late Saint stage, with a full four at Saint Great Perfection.
"Zhou Xingchen, die!" the seven Saints attacked Zhou Xingchen in unison.
A cold smile played on Zhou Xingchen's lips, his expression filled with disdain. "With just the seven of you trash, do you think you're worthy of taking my life? You're the ones seeking death!"
"Heh heh, still spouting arrogance when death is at your doorstep. Zhou Xingchen, while you are a prodigy, are we not as well?"
"Before you die, I'll let you know who killed you."
A Saint Great Perfection expert opened his mouth to speak again, but Zhou Xingchen interrupted him directly: "No need!"
"This sword is named Kai Que, remember it!"
Before Zhou Xingchen's voice even faded, the sword was already unsheathed. Its light illuminated thirty thousand miles, and its sword energy coiled around the nine heavens.
With a single strike, the sharp sword energy transformed into a dragon of sword energy, engulfing the strongest among the seven. The man desperately tried to resist, but he couldn't even last a second before being swallowed by the sword energy dragon, his life and Dao extinguished.
Seeing their strongest member instantly killed by Zhou Xingchen's sword, the expressions of the remaining six Saint experts changed drastically.
They knew Zhou Xingchen was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this strong. A Saint Great Perfection expert was instantly killed.
Just a second ago, they were full of confidence, thinking about how they would become famous after killing Zhou Xingchen.
But in the next second, their illusions shattered, pulling them back to reality.
The prodigy of the Zhou Family, terrifying indeed!
