"It's over! Everything's over!"
When the thunderlight descended, Xi Yuanlin was directing operations inside Jade Lang Mountain's grand array. His heart lurched, then turned to dead ash.
The killing strike of the Thunder Division's Vast Dharma Heavenly Lord pierced the entire grand array and blasted straight into the mass of blood corpses on the island. In an instant, the hundreds upon thousands of powerful monsters on which the unorthodox cultivators had pinned their hopes were pulverized, vanishing in smoke and dust.
Even those whose bodies had not been completely destroyed had their primordial blood essence utterly vaporized by the thunderbolts.
This stripped them of the strengthening power they depended on to survive. They died for good, unable to regenerate.
"Those Corpse Immortal Sect disciples talked their creations up to the skies, and in the end, weren't they crushed in a single blow?" Zhu Tianxiang looked as though he had lost both parents, utterly despondent.
Xi Yuanlin was equally helpless. "We can't blame them. The Thunder Division's Vast Dharma Heavenly Lord is simply too powerful. He's one of the Heavenly Court's Eight Divisions of Orthodox Gods, a figure said to be invincible below Spirit Transformation. In the Heavenly Court and the Underworld, among the Immortal Sects and the demonic path... how many could earn such a title?"
As they spoke, everything outside had already descended into chaos.
The unorthodox cultivators who had pledged themselves to the merchant association were terrified. Fear of thunderbolts and heavenly tribulation welled up from the depths of their lives and souls. However domineering and arrogant they normally were, every last one had turned into a cowering quail.
Only now did they realize that the enemy had deployed a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator!
"The grand array is broken! Charge!"
Morale soared among the Righteous Immortal Sect forces.
