Phantom Star Sect's sect gate.
The once towering, magnificent, imposing sect, with layers upon layers of buildings and carved beams painted rafters, had now nearly become ruins.
Inside and outside the sect, nearly half of the once-lofty mountain peaks had collapsed.
Deep within the sect, swirling dust hung like thick fog, shrouding an area of a hundred miles.
From within the dust came, from time to time, thunderous blasts and surging waves of force, rising and falling like the tides.
Within it, two Vague Figures radiating strange auras continuously crossed paths, locked in an evenly matched battle.
Every gesture and movement of the two unleashed attacks that drained heaven and earth of color. They shattered mountains and split the land, truly shocking the world and terrifying ghosts and gods.
In a battle like this, let alone Golden Core stage experts, even Nascent Soul Stage giants would not dare intervene lightly.
Meanwhile, amid the mountains of Phantom Star Sect's outer sect, more than ten Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were divided across several battlefields. Each displayed their own strengths as they moved through the forests, likewise stirring up an earthshaking, fierce battle.
Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, ordinarily rare enough to see, seemed to have gathered here in clusters. There were no fewer than thirteen of them.
Of these, eight Nascent Soul Stage experts belonged to the Great Zhao Dynasty and Demon Shadow Palace alone.
Among the Great Zhao Dynasty's forces, Hou Sihai, who had gone to the East Sea Archipelago, had not returned.
Even so, they still had four Nascent Soul cultivators.
They included Zhao Mingyuan, the Dragon Lord of the Great Zhao Dynasty, who had only recently crossed tribulation and condensed a Nascent Soul, breaking into the initial Nascent Soul Stage, as well as Sun Wenyuan from Night Demon Cloud City,
