The fleet of airships stretched as far as the eye could see.
The sky was densely packed with flying boats, and on each flying boat, the aura of a powerful figure was like a dark, heavy cloud.
Two Half-Saint stood high on the foremost flying boat, looking down at the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect below with disdain and contempt written all over their faces.
The dark clouds in the sky seemed to press down.
A storm is brewing.
Everyone who witnessed this scene held their breath.
Standing at the forefront of the defensive formation was Pei Yunyan, the Grand Elder of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect. Her expression was even more unpleasant as she took a deep breath and clenched her fists.
The two Half-Saint at the very front of the flying boat were none other than the vice sect masters of the Ancient Mystic Saint Sect and the Heaven Uniting Saint Sect!
Although they were only Half-Saint, everyone in the Desolate Domain knew that they were only a hair's breadth away from entering the Saint Realm!
Moreover, it wasn't just the two of them.
Behind the two, on the fleet of flying boats, were countless Ancient Emperor and Great Emperor.
The strong are numerous.
Clearly, they had gathered such a large force and come to the doorstep of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect for only one purpose.
--Exterminate the sect!
On the flying boat, the two Half-Saint lowered their heads and looked down. When they saw the great formation covering the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect, they narrowed their eyes slightly and laughed contemptuously.
"Hehehe, the Nine Luminaries Grand Array?"
"Without your ancestor overseeing things, how much of your power can you unleash?"
One of the Half-Saint spoke, his gaze sharp, his eyes filled with disdain and covetousness.
The Nine Luminaries Saint Sect occupies a vast area, which Heaven Uniting Saint Sect and the Ancient Mystic Saint Sect have coveted for a long time.
This Desolate Domain, though vast in landscape, is largely characterized by barren mountains and harsh waters.
The territory occupied by the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect can be said to be the best.
How could they not be tempted?
If it were the original Nine Luminaries Saint Sect Nine Luminaries Grand Array Formation under the protection of the Nine Luminaries Ancestor, they would never dare to come. They also knew that no matter what they did, they probably wouldn't be able to break through the formation.
But now, everything is different.
The Nine Luminaries Ancestor has perished!
Regardless of where or why the Nine Luminaries Ancestor perished, all they need to know is that the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect is no longer as powerful as it once was. They have lost their Saint Realm and have gone from being a tough nut to crack to a piece of meat that anyone can take a bite of.
How long can a few Half-Saint Thearch Realm hold them off?
Thinking about it, the two Half-Saint smiled broadly, as if they could see the future.
After today.
In this Desolate Domain, the Great Saint no longer stand in a tripartite balance!
Only Great Saint!
The era of the three powers standing in a tripartite balance of power is gone forever!
Inside the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect, Elder Pei Yunyan looked at the cluster of flying ships in the dome of the sky amidst the dark clouds, her face extremely grave.
She spoke slowly, "If it were just the people of you, you wouldn't be able to break through my sect's great formation."
The Nine Luminaries Grand Array is the foundation of the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect Nine Luminaries Saint Sect, passed down from its founding ancestor.
If the opponent only has these people, even if the entire sect works together, they won't be able to break this great formation in a short time.
But if one were to arrive at the Saint Realm...
Her heart sank.
If Saint Realm expert were to arrive in person, this great formation would likely be completely unstoppable.
But now that things have come to this, there is no other way.
The Primordial Holy Heaven only sent a mere Thearch Realm youth, clearly intending to watch them perish on their own.
Let's see how long this formation can hold out!
Pei Yunyan had already made up her mind that if the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect were to be destroyed in the end, she would do anything to send Pei Yushuang away, even if it meant self-destruction or her soul being scattered.
"Charge!"
Pei Yunyan tried to ignore the taste of blood in her mouth, spoke coldly, and ordered the other elders to begin their attack.
With them and themselves becoming the source of Spiritual Power for the formation, the great formation can definitely hold out for a longer period of time.
But to Pei Yunyan's surprise, no one reacted after she finished speaking.
"Start the battle!" Pei Yunyan frowned slightly and spoke again.
But even when she spoke again, the elders all reacted the same way.
No one moved.
Pei Yunyan immediately felt a sense of foreboding.
She looked at the elders, but saw only cold and numb expressions on their faces.
One of the elders met Pei Yunyan's gaze, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips, and said softly, "Stop struggling, First Elder, save your energy."
"Yes, what's the point of starting a battle now?"
The other elders also spoke up, their faces almost all displaying a mixture of laughter and tears, numbness, deathly silence, and obvious despair.
"What difference does this grand formation make if it merely delays our deaths?"
"There's no difference, Elder, wake up!"
Pei Yunyan looked at everyone in disbelief, and even took a step back involuntarily.
"You..."
Before she could speak, the elders interrupted her again, "Elder, if you have someone to blame, blame yourself for trusting the Primordial Holy Heaven!"
Looking at the expressions and actions of the elders, Pei Yunyan suddenly felt a sense of panic.
It felt as if something had slipped out of my control.
A flicker of surprise crossed her eyes, as if she had suddenly realized something, and she abruptly said, "No... don't..."
But before she could even finish speaking, several elders, to her disbelief, tore open the great formation with one hand, destroying the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect's great formation from the inside.
Ignoring Pei Yunyan's wide-eyed stare, they shouted loudly at the flying boat.
"Gentlemen! If you are willing to spare our lives, we will gladly serve as your slaves!"
"Please forgive us!"
"Surrender!"
We are willing to surrender!
"Please, Vice Sect Masters, have mercy!"
Although the two opposing sects are mortal enemies, at this point, no one cares.
I'm willing to do anything as long as the other party spares my life.
After all, if you die, you really have nothing left!
So let alone betraying the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect, they would be willing to serve as servants!
The elders' longing was practically written all over their faces.
Pei Yunyan's expression slowly changed from disbelief to extreme anger. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "You traitors, how dare you betray the sect!"
"Do you even realize that with the formation dissipated, our Nine Luminaries Saint Sect has lost its last reliance!"
"So what?" The Second Elder said coldly, his eyes flashing with deep-seated hatred.
"I joined the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect Nine Luminaries Saint Sect and risked my life for them, but how has the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect repaid me? The Nine Luminaries Ancestor went to his death and dragged us down with him! Pei Yunyan, you may want to die, but we don't want to be buried with you and the Nine Luminaries Saint Sect!"
Facing the hateful gaze of the Second Elder, with whom she had a fairly good relationship, Pei Yunyan felt as if all her strength had been drained away in that instant.
She opened her mouth weakly, but couldn't utter a single word; only utter despair remained.
Nine Luminaries Saint Sect...
Is this how it's going to end?
