The Immortal Sect's diplomatic fleet passed through one teleportation array after another, crossed a vast expanse of starry sky, and finally reached the Orion Star Domain, an array nexus among the many border star domains.
Layer upon layer of nine-tribulation killing arrays surrounded it. Great Daos arose and perished, radiating a terrifying aura.
Within the killing arrays, Immortal Sect fleets, spell cultivator legions, and sword cultivator legions held positions throughout the many clusters of great worlds. From time to time, small groups of cultivators left the arrays and struck into the nearby Sagittarius Star Domain of the Myriad Races Heavenly Court.
The sword cultivators were especially enthusiastic about this. Nearly all those small groups were made up of sword cultivators.
Between the killing arrays of the two great star domains, the two sides fought, slaughtered, concealed themselves, and probed each other's array nodes. Lives were lost every moment.
This had gone on for centuries. In many places, the bones of the fallen lay piled like mountains. All had belonged to powerful cultivators, a sight that made the heart quail.
That was how things stood now.
There were no large-scale battles, but small clashes were everywhere.
Those clashes were so minor that they did not even enter the Supreme Great Sun Heavenly Palace's intelligence reports. The front line was always described as "calm and peaceful," with both sides exercising restraint for the time being.
On the scale of the boundless starry sky, that was true.
But within this star domain, for every cultivator who fell, it was one brutal, dark struggle after another.
Cheng Zhen led the Immortal Sect's diplomatic fleet through the region. After greeting the Immortal Sect Fleet commander stationed there, he set out for the Sagittarius Star Domain under the farewell gazes of the Immortal Sect cultivators.
