The sword energy that emerged from the formation was as fierce as a tiger. It must be said that the reason why Mount Emei has been able to prosper for thousands of years is largely due to its own combat philosophy.
The battle could have been avoided within the formation when the sword light struck, but the great cultivator from Mount Emei showed no restraint and launched an attack after the sword formation arrived.
Perhaps in their eyes, the grand formation is merely a last resort; for sword cultivators, the greatest defense is to keep attacking!
The divine sense in the air had already captured the trajectory of the sword light. The sword energy that followed swept out after the divine sense, leaving conspicuous traces on the tail sheath of the sword energy. Linear clouds immediately appeared in the sky above Mount Emei Range.
The pursuing sword energy locked onto the sword light in an instant with divine sense. The expressions of all the great cultivators in the mountain gate became serious, and their powerful Magic Power emanated from their bodies. A series of howling sounds immediately resounded in the sky above the mountain range, as if to let everyone know that the Mount Emei sword cultivators were defending against the enemy!
Buzz!
A sword cry suddenly burst forth from the sky. Facing the several sword energies sweeping towards it, the swirling sword light did not retreat but advanced, emitting a sword cry full of fighting spirit before flowing back in an instant.
A sharp streak of light ripped through the sky, and the thick clouds in the air instantly reversed. The sword light came without any Power of Laws, but at this moment, strange phenomena were already appearing in the world.
A clang rang out as metal clashed in the air. A streak of light from the sky collided with several sword energies in an instant. This strike was like a meteorite falling onto the sea. The two powerful magical Magic Power burst forth with scorching energy the moment they came into contact.
The several sword energies in the air suddenly froze, their sharpness diminished by the impact. The great cultivators below were all shocked. After the energy fluctuations subsided slightly, they looked closely and saw a sword light still swirling within the sword energy.
The group, who had originally intended to attack, were now somewhat at a loss under the sword light. Instead of retreating, the sword light advanced, as if it had been preparing for a long time and was waiting for the enemy to tire themselves out. The sword energy that came out of the formation seemed sharp, but instead it broke into the opponent's aura.
The masters of the various peaks in the Mount Emei Range were no ordinary people. As soon as the sword light fell, they changed their tactics. They spread a giant net in the air with their divine sense, blocking all the paths of the sword light. They were certain that the sword light would turn back after its attack, and this was the time to pursue it relentlessly!
The powerful cultivators below were each transmitting their immense magical Magic Power, and a surge of energy appeared within the formation, indicating that those within would not easily compromise.
The surging sword energy had trapped the falling sword light. The uniformly raised sword energy was like an impenetrable wall, and the sharp sword energy surrounded the sword light completely, leaving only an opening on one side. If it needed to turn around and escape, it seemed that breaking through this small opening would be the best option.
From the initial attack of the sword light to the encirclement of sword energy, this change happened in an instant. All those present were great cultivators who had witnessed countless trials and tribulations on their cultivation path and possessed extremely rich combat experience. Even without the intervention of their patriarch, they would have taken the initiative to engage in battle.
The sword light, which had been surrounded for a moment, suddenly froze. This was due to the dense divine sense blockade in the sky, which made the sword light's owner react a beat slower than expected. However, this sword light was indeed terrifying, causing the group of great cultivators from Mount Emei to disregard their dignity and launch a group attack.
Seeing that the encirclement of sword energy was gradually closing in, if they didn't break through the small opening now, they would be completely trapped. However, the sword light within the sword energy showed no sign of escaping.
The clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed in one area, causing the great cultivators below to shudder as if something terrifying was pressing down on them, making them feel a sense of tension and pause.
At this moment, surrounded by heavy sword energy, the Magic Power on the sword light suddenly surged. The fierce sword light shone brightly in the encirclement. The sword light did not retreat through the deliberately created gap, but instead instantly gathered power within the sword energy.
The slowly rotating sword light found a spot above, and the Magic Power on the sword was suddenly activated. With a "boom", a burst of firelight suddenly appeared in the sky. Among the sword energy surrounding the sword light, one sword energy was blasted away by a violent energy.
The surrounding sword energy trembled violently, chasing after a sword light in the sky. The sword light did not choose to break through the gap left, but instead chose to open a passage in the sky. The Power of Oblivion was attached to the sword, so forcibly opening a passage was a trivial matter.
Meanwhile, the sword energy that had been knocked away plummeted straight down from the sky. In Mount Emei, a powerful cultivator's face was flushed red, and he forcibly suppressed the blood gushing from his chest. His magical Magic Power had already begun to become disordered.
With a loud "boom," the falling flying sword swept past the formation and landed upside down on the mountain peak. At this moment, his aura was fluctuating and his consciousness was blank. He felt that when he locked the sword light in the air with his consciousness, a terrifying will suddenly rushed out from the sky.
This overwhelming will swiftly pierced their minds, catching them off guard and causing a pause in the sword energy. Instead of breaking through the gap left by the sudden sword light, it forcefully knocked their flying swords away.
Judging from his current weakened state, the owner of this sword light is no ordinary person. He has likely come prepared to deal with Mount Emei. The mountain gate has been free from war for thousands of years. Now that the rebels are powerful, when will the patriarch emerge from seclusion?
Before the thought could even settle in his mind, he suddenly heard a series of clanging metal sounds in the sky. Even though he knew that his side had a clear numerical advantage, he still felt a sense of unease amidst the clash of weapons.
Meanwhile, sword energy flew across the sky, sword light raged, and the sword light that broke through the encirclement swirled away in an instant, leaving one of the sword energies that was knocked away to fall, while the remaining sword energy attacked the sword light without looking back.
As expected of the sword cultivators from Mount Emei, their strategies in combat were almost perfect. Little did they know that the attackers this time were no ordinary evil sects.
The sword energy it drew out instantly cleaved the clouds in mid-air, and the swirling wind howled beside it. Although the sword light did not fall into the trap prepared for it, the remaining sword energy reacted extremely quickly.
Even though their divine senses in the air were scattered by a powerful will, they still managed to strike at the right moment. In the air, a sword light was seen followed closely by a trail of sword energy.
The first thing to happen was the contact between Magic Power Magic Power. The sword cultivators of Mount Emei were born without the courage to back down, and now they were determined to beat a drowning dog. But how could the sword light in the air be a drowning dog in front of them!
A sword hum rang out, and the sword light that was swirling in the air suddenly stopped moving. The Magic Power on the sword surged in the air in an instant, and the rolling Power of Oblivion completely covered the sword light.
The sword light had already adjusted its direction, slashing straight backward. The sword energy chasing after it at high speed also stopped instantly. They did not dodge the surging sword light at all, and each of their swords suddenly summoned a powerful surge of magic Magic Power.
As the Magic Power was poured in and surged, one after another strange phenomenon appeared in the sky above Mount Emei: towering peaks reaching into the clouds, bottomless abysses, howling winds and thunder, and a divine image holding up the sky with one hand.
These extraordinary phenomena unfolded as the sword energy clashed with the enemy, causing the world's rules within this area to be reversed. The combined battle of these powerful cultivators left countless disciples in blue robes below dumbfounded and in awe.
The sign of the strange phenomenon was that the Power of Laws had already covered the sword energy's attack. The cultivators would not let the evil villains who provoked the sect off lightly!
Amidst the excited and jubilant expressions of countless disciples in blue robes below, sword energy infused with the Power of Laws struck the sword light in an instant. At the same time, the sword light, which had surged with Magic Power power, also slashed towards the several sword energies. This time, both sides used their full strength, determined to finish the battle in one fell swoop.
A deafening roar echoed across the sky, the massive energy surge obscuring the sparks and hues of the clashing sword lights. The scorching energy turned the sky a fiery red, and below the energy surge, the massive Mount Emei Range was violently shaken by the shockwave.
A whooshing sound, like waves crashing against the sea, rose in the air. This was the sound of intense energy spreading in an instant. As the energy fluctuations subsided, the reversed world rules began to slowly return to normal, and the energy that had dispersed in the air finally made the scene at the center of the battle clear.
Below, countless disciples in blue robes stared intently. In their eyes, the excitement and jubilation they had shown earlier suddenly froze. Before they could even react, a whistling sound arose in the air, and one after another, dim sword energies fell towards the mountain gate formation.
The strange phenomena that had appeared in the air just moments before had vanished without a trace with the energy fluctuations, but the surging sword light showed no signs of weakening. After achieving an overwhelming victory against overwhelming odds, it actually chased after the falling sword energy.
The scene of the sword energy attacking the drowning dog and chasing the sword light just now seemed to be still vivid in my mind, but now the battle situation has been reversed in an instant, leaving no time to react.
The fact that they could defeat a group of powerful cultivators with sheer force at a mountain gate with a history spanning thousands of years caused a sense of disorientation among countless disciples in blue robes. Was the righteous Mount Emei truly in decline?
The surging sword light shattered several sword energies in an instant, then closely pursued the falling sword energy. The sword light in the air was like a swimming fish, nimbly following the sword energy across the sky.
Just as the sword energy, carrying sword light, was about to fall into the protective array below, a powerful magical Magic Power suddenly condensed within the array at the center of the Mount Emei Range.
"Imperial Edict!"
A calm voice resounded within the mountain gate, an aged voice carrying a powerful energy.
Strangely enough, this voice possessed an enduring quality that instantly calmed the countless anxious disciples in blue robes.
It was like a Sea-Calming Divine Needle, standing firmly in everyone's hearts, instantly calming down the endless waves of turmoil in the eyes of the disciples.
As the reassuring voices spread, several muffled thuds echoed beneath the various mountain peaks, causing the mountain range to shake violently. The sword energy that had fallen into the formation had already hit the ground.
With a loud "boom," a mysterious light flashed at the edge of the formation, and the sword light, like a swimming fish, seemed to have crashed into a reef, producing a huge sound.
The downward momentum of the sword light was abruptly halted, and the rebounding sword light twisted and turned in the air, its immense Magic Power already left on the reef.
After the burst of mysterious light dissipated, a solid Earth Immortal Dharma Seal cracked open at the outer edge of the great formation. The sword light that had just erupted was originally intended to break through the great formation along with the sword energy.
Just as they were about to enter the formation, a magical sound rang out from within, and then an Earth Immortal Dharma Seal instantly condensed outside the formation, forcefully blocking the invasion of the sword light.
The disciples in blue below were filled with anxiety when they saw the sword light approaching. After being calmed by the sound waves, they saw the sword light being blocked in the air, while a powerful energy appeared on the outer edge of the formation.
The imposing aura emanating from it reveals that this is Earth Immortal Dharma Seal, and Mount Emei has always had only one Earth Immortal!
"It's the patriarch!"
"Grandmaster!"
"It's the Grandmaster who's made a move! The Grandmaster!"
As countless disciples in blue robes watched the magic seal shatter, they seemed to snap out of their daze, exchanging bewildered glances and murmuring the words "Ancestor."
Since entering the mountain gate, they have been constantly instilled with the various deeds of the patriarch, the most tiresome of which is the immortal Immortal Realm of the patriarch, the Master White Eyebrows Immortal.
If it were just the Immortal Realm, ordinary disciples would feel it was too far removed from their own lives and wouldn't care. But White Eyebrows's Immortal Realm was different; it steadily suppressed another powerful Immortal Realm expert!
In countless legends, the evil sect's Blood Alliance leader, Insomnia Blood Demon, was always firmly suppressed by the patriarch in every battle. Insomnia Blood Demon's name had long been known throughout the cultivation world, and he was a being that could make cultivators of all levels turn pale at the mere mention of his name.
However, the powerful Insomnia Blood Demon was still firmly suppressed by the Ancestor. Moreover, the Ancestor had been hiding in the mountaintop for a thousand years, and during this thousand years, he had managed to suppress the Blood Alliance cultivators and prevent them from acting recklessly by virtue of his prestige.
In their hearts, the patriarch had long transcended heaven and earth, becoming a true Kami, the goal they pursued and the eternal guide to their life values.
Little did they know that the reason Youquan hadn't caused trouble was because, for nearly a thousand years, the Blood Alliance had been focusing its efforts on finding the location of Chi You Blood Cave!
After thousands of years of accumulated prestige, Mount Emei is once again engulfed in flames of war. The methods of the invading enemy have caused the great cultivators of the mountain to lose face. After the patriarch intervened to defend against the enemy, the enemy's offensive was indeed halted.
The disciples seemed to have grasped at a straw while drowning. Their patriarch was the hope they saw in their despair. But were they really so vulnerable as disciples of Mount Emei, as sword cultivators?
"Well..."
In the main hall atop Mount Emei, the tranquil atmosphere that had lasted for a thousand years was broken by a sigh. This place is shrouded in mist all year round and no one has ever set foot here. Only the Kami patriarch White Eyebrows, revered by the disciples of Mount Emei, is in seclusion here.
