And you can break through the barriers, reaching the Dao Palace Realm.
the strength of Heavenly Seal Mountain has also greatly increased, far surpassing its former glory.
just when Heavenly Seal Mountain was on the rise, demons suddenly launched a large-scale invasion, catching Heavenly Seal Mountain completely off guard.
The demons were fiercely powerful.
They had three to five experts at the half-step Taoist Palace Realm alone, not to mention demons of other realms.
from the beginning, Heavenly Seal Mountain was retreating step by step, quickly falling into a disadvantageous position.
Xia Yunchuan felt intense pain in his left shoulder, a large chunk of flesh was gouged out by a demon, who was gulping down the flesh, creating a terrifying scene.
Such an injury would usually be nothing for Xia Yunchuan.
any weakening of power would alter the course of the battle.
the injuries on Xia Yunchuan’s body became more severe, with flesh missing from many areas, exposing chilling bones.
Xia Yunchuan’s breathing became heavy.
The gradually worsening injuries made him feel his life force slipping away bit by bit.
Just when he was about to fall in battle and be completely devoured by these demons,
A fearsome blade light tore through the void, instantly killing several half-step Taoist Palace Realm demons on the spot.
shocked the demon side.
It also invigorated Xia Yunchuan.
When he saw who had arrived, a look of joy appeared on his face.
The newcomer was none other than the current Sect Master of the Heavenly Martial Sect, and Alliance Hierarch of the Jingyun Alliance, Gu Wu.
With Gu Wu’s arrival, Xia Yunchuan finally felt relieved.
With the arrival of the Heavenly Martial Sect,
the demons were no longer a concern.
Gu Wu effortlessly eliminated all the half-step Taoist Palace Realm demons surrounding Xia Yunchuan.
Seeing the tragic injuries on the person in front of him, Gu Wu frowned.
"Is Master Xia alright?"
"I’m fine, just some minor injuries. Now with the demon invasion, I implore the Alliance Leader to strike down the demons and save my Heavenly Seal Mountain!"
Xia Yunchuan now set aside his pride and directly asked for help.
Gu Wu nodded: "Rest assured, these demons will find no return at the hands of my people!"
not only saw the arrival of Gu Wu,
but also other experts of the Heavenly Martial Sect.
The current Heavenly Martial Sect now had several Dao Palace Realm experts.
Dealing with some demons was naturally not a problem.
all demons were completely exterminated.
But after counting the aftermath of the battle, Xia Yunchuan’s expression turned grim.
Heavenly Seal Mountain suffered heavy losses.
Seventy percent of the disciples were lost, especially many of the core forces in the Divine Transformation Realm perished.
this battle directly set Heavenly Seal Mountain back decades.
it was even worse than decades ago.
Seeing his expression, Gu Wu said: "Although Heavenly Seal Mountain suffered a calamity in this battle, it is not entirely a bad thing. The dens left by fallen demons are a great supplement for cultivators.
Master Xia is now only half a step away from the Dao Palace Realm. If you use these Demon Cores to impact your own realm, I believe breaking through to the Dao Palace Realm will not be a problem!"
"If Master Xia can successfully break through, rejuvenating Heavenly Seal Mountain will only be a matter of time."
finally eased Xia Yunchuan’s expression significantly.
he puzzledly asked: "Why did demons appear here, does the Alliance Leader know?"
Xia Yunchuan had some understanding of the existence of the Demon Clan.
But what he couldn’t understand was why the Demon Clan suddenly appeared, and without a word, they directly attacked Heavenly Seal Mountain.
If Heavenly Seal Mountain had some preparation, this battle might not have resulted in so many casualties.
"According to the information I’ve received, demons have appeared throughout Jingyun Prefecture, and even my Heavenly Martial Sect has suffered demon attacks.
The only consolation is that these demons are not strong, otherwise I would find it difficult to Enjoy reading on NovelHub - your free online novel platform.
Now, after ten thousand years, the demons have appeared again. Perhaps we might witness the same scene as ten thousand years ago!"
Gu Wu’s expression was also extremely solemn.
Though he hadn’t experienced the events of ten thousand years ago, he had gained some understanding from various ancient records.
The battle of that year.
Was a nightmare for the entire Eastern Domain.
If a Great Emperor from the Central Domain hadn’t emerged back then to come to the aid of the Eastern Domain, perhaps all the forces of the Eastern Domain would have been entirely eradicated.
Now that the Demon Clan is making a comeback.
Gu Wu naturally feels immense pressure.
He worries not only about the future of the Heavenly Martial Sect but also about the implications for the Divine Martial Dynasty.
After all, Gu Wu has not forgotten that he comes from the Divine Martial Dynasty.
"The catastrophe of ten thousand years ago!"
Xia Yunchuan’s face changed dramatically, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
He is also mindful of this possibility.
If the catastrophe of ten thousand years ago reappears, Heavenly Seal Mountain might not be able to escape its fate.
After all, in the battle of that year, how many ancient powers were annihilated.
Even powerful beings like Saints and above died in blood during the war between the two clans, let alone other forces and cultivators.
Not to mention Heavenly Seal Mountain.
Even the entire Jingyun Alliance.
In such a disaster, it would be like a sailboat amidst the raging waves of the ocean, a single wave could easily obliterate the entire Jingyun Alliance.
There’s no help for it.
The Jingyun Alliance is too weak.
So weak that only a few strong individuals at the Taoist Palace Realm are holding it together.
Such a force couldn’t even adequately contend with the Guiyuan Dynasty of that time, let alone others.
"But when the sky falls, there are taller ones to hold it up. Now Jingyun Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the Divine Martial Dynasty, and with the invasion of the Demon Clan, the Divine Martial Dynasty will surely not stand by and do nothing!"
Gu Wu shook his head: "I’m just afraid the Divine Martial Dynasty is also struggling to protect itself!"
The urgent report first reached Gu Yang’s hands.
Out of the 373 prefectures in Shenyuan State, more than half have shown signs of demons, and many sect forces belonging to Shenyuan State have been breached by demons, suffering heavy losses.
The news made Gu Yang’s face turn grim.
Every sect in Shenyuan State is considered a treasure of the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Now with the demon invasion, the heavy losses suffered by the sect forces in Shenyuan State are tantamount to weakening the foundation of the Divine Martial Dynasty in a disguised form.
This kind of situation.
Gu Yang finds it intolerable.
This demon invasion has not only wreaked havoc on the sect forces but has also caused mass slaughter among the populace.
"Your Majesty, with the demon invasion now, although the Country Town Duke dispatched troops to suppress them at once, the demons come in an endless stream, and many demons are as powerful as Semi-Saints.
Currently, the Country Town Duke has sent word, hoping the court can dispatch troops for reinforcement!"
The Minister of War, Yin Liang, stepped forward and said with cupped hands.
Gu Yang immediately gave an order.
"Send word for the Institute Envoy from the Tribute Institute to come for an audience!"
"Minister Chu Daoxuan pays respects to Your Majesty!"
"With the demon invasion in Shenyuan State, although the Country Town Duke suppressed them with his army, the Demon Clan has many strong members. Therefore, I need the Tribute Institute to dispatch ten Semi-Saints and thirty at the Taoist Palace Realm to immediately go to Shenyuan State to assist the Country Town Duke in suppressing the demons!"
Gu Yang said in a deep voice.
The current Tribute Institute is not what it used to be.
Even though the Divine Martial Dynasty has strict requirements for tributes, over the years, they have recruited as many as 136 people.
There are thirteen strong individuals in the Semi-Saint Realm alone.
The remaining over a hundred people are all at the Taoist Palace Realm.
It’s just that in daily life, there are rarely occasions to mobilize these tributes.
With the invasion of the Demon Clan.
Naturally, it is time for the Tribute Institute to take action.
As the saying goes, "Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for one moment."
The Divine Martial Dynasty invested enormous resources into the Tribute Institute, waiting precisely for this moment.
"I accept the decree!"
Chu Daoxuan, with a solemn expression, respectfully accepted the order.
