Chapter 195 - Decisive Battle
"Wait! I have something to say!" The leader of the black figures hurriedly shouted, afraid that the other party would rush up and slap him to death.
After all, he was no different from an ant in front of a Great Sage Stage expert.
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally unstoppable spirit energy suddenly stopped and turned into countless specks of light that dissipated.
Immediately after, everyone felt their vision blur, and a woman in a red robe with wide sleeves appeared out of thin air.
The woman couldn"t be said to be beautiful, but her every move was irresistibly charming.
The moment she opened her eyes, thunder seemed to flash in the night, illuminating the mountains and rivers in a tragic manner.
Some cultivators standing on the city wall immediately recognized the red-robed woman and shouted in surprise, "It"s the Seven Star Palace Master, the Seven Star Divine Maiden!"
The Seven Star Palace was one of the three great super factions of the Profound Mysteries Realm. The faction was unparalleled in the world because of their special cultivation techniques.
The Seven Star Divine Maiden was only second to the inst.i.tute director of the Demi-Immortal Inst.i.tute. Many cultivators subconsciously heaved sighs of relief.
At the same time, the black figures hidden outside the city grunted again, trembling in fear.
Especially the Grand Saint Stage expert in the lead, he almost couldn"t help but turn around and flee.
Even though the other party was a woman, the pressure she gave him was too strong!
"What is it?"
The lips of the Seven Star Divine Maiden parted slightly as she said faintly.
"I"m here to post a letter of challenge."
As he spoke, a ball of light flew out and floated outside the Great City Barrier Formation.
Seeing this, the Seven Star Divine Maiden stretched out her slender fingers and lightly grabbed. That ball of light immediately fell into her hand, and there were only two words inside: "Battle Tomorrow."
"Hehe, are you finally willing to accept the battle?"
The Seven Star Divine Maiden laughed instead of being angry, revealing an incomparably charming smile.
On the other side, the black figure quietly retreated and prepared to leave.
"Wait."
"Just now, you attacked because you wanted to test out how st.u.r.dy this Great City Barrier Formation is, right?"
"…"
The Grand Saint Stage expert immediately began to sweat when he heard this, not knowing how to answer.
"In that case, you won"t be going back."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Seven Star Divine Maiden raised her hand and waved it.
The entire world became distorted at this moment.
Compared to before, this palm did not have any spirit energy fluctuations. However, regardless of whether it was the leading Grand Saint Stage expert or the black figures, they all dissipated with the wind like smoke and dust, leaving nothing behind.
Witnessing this scene, the surrounding Profound Mysteries Realm cultivators were all dumbfounded. Was this the power of a Great Sage Stage expert?
Too terrifying!
"The Divine Maiden is invincible!" Someone shouted. After a moment of silence, everyone immediately chimed in, "The Divine Maiden is invincible!"
"The Divine Maiden is invincible!" Someone shouted. After a moment of silence, everyone immediately chimed in, "The Divine Maiden is invincible!"
"…"
After she had killed the Grand Saint Stage expert with a single move, the surrounding cultivators that were previously anxious were suddenly reinvigorated with confidence. They were extremely excited.
This was what the Seven Star Divine Maiden wanted to see.
As for what she said about them testing out the Great City Barrier Formation, it was only a random excuse. However, based on the Grand Saint Stage expert"s reaction, she seemed to have guessed correctly.
Thinking of this, the Seven Star Divine Maiden retracted her gaze and pressed her hands together. In an instant, the entire Sacred Artifact City became so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard. Everyone looked at this Seven Star Palace Master with wors.h.i.+pful expressions.
"Fellow comrades, the demon race has sent a letter to challenge us to fight tomorrow."
"I think you all know that this war is very likely to determine the survival of the Profound Mysteries Realm, so we have to win no matter what, understand?"
"Understood!"
Everyone cheered.
"Very good."
The Seven Star Divine Maiden nodded in satisfaction. "Also, let me make this clear first. This war can only be fought head-on, and you are not allowed to retreat. Otherwise, what awaits us is destruction."
"Therefore, all deserters will be killed without mercy!"
The Seven Star Divine Maiden"s words were sonorous and powerful, and her killing intent was awe-inspiring. She was clearly not joking.
"We won"t retreat. We swear to protect the Profound Mysteries Realm!"
"We won"t retreat. We swear to protect the Profound Mysteries Realm!"
"…"
The deafening shouts lasted for ten minutes or so before stopping. It made one"s blood boil. Even Su Li was infected as she raised her arms and shouted.
Qin Jue was probably the only one present who remained unaffected.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen so many women gathered together. As far as the eye could see, the scene was rather spectacular.
After the chatting ended, high-level cultivators began to enter one after another, dividing the cultivators into several hundred teams of various sizes according to their strength so that they could be commanded.
After all, this war was not only a battle between high-level experts. After all, they still needed to deal with the big army from the Asura World.
However, the people that mattered were still those peak experts.
It was only at dawn that the hundred thousand cultivators were fully "sorted" out.
Qin Jue was viewed as having the same strength as Su Li. He was regarded as a Supreme Stage expert and was sorted into a team of twenty Supreme Stage experts. Their mission was very simple: to stop the Asura World army from advancing.
There were more than ten other teams that were like them. A lineup with such a large number of Supreme Stage experts was simply unimaginable in the Southern Land of the Spirit Central World.
However, here, Supreme Stage experts were only considered as lackeys and were not qualified to join the top tier battle circles.
Not to mention a Supreme Stage expert, even a Legendary Stage expert was not qualified to do so. The shockwaves from the battle between those Saint Stage experts could easily injure them.
This was the scale of a dimensional war.
As the red moon fell and the sun rose in the east, a pitch-black city suddenly appeared at the end of Qin Jue"s field of vision. It was still far away a moment ago, but all of a sudden, it was now only thousands of meters away from the Sacred Artifact City.
This pitch-black city was the same as the Sacred Artifact City. Both were quasi-sacred artifacts. One didn"t need to think to know that it came from the Asura World.
"A familiar spirit energy aura."
Qin Jue took a deep breath and muttered to himself.
It would appear that this Asura World was indeed the Asura World that he knew of.
Hu -
Nine beams of light rose from the pitch-black city and pierced into the sky. And in the light, nine figures were faintly discernible, filled with a dense killing intent.
Among them, eight were Great Sages, and one was at the Great Void Stage. They happened to have matched the experts from the Profound Mysteries Realm equally in strength.
Soon, nine beams of light also rose from Sacred Artifact City one after another without any fear.
"It seems that you guys are the strongest existences of your world."
The Great Void Stage expert who belonged to the Asura World took a step forward and said, "If you are willing to surrender now and obediently move aside, perhaps I can let bygones be bygones and spare your lives."
The person who spoke was a man whose entire body was enveloped by armor. He emitted a cold aura that caused others to shudder, as if he was accompanied by the G.o.d of death, causing him to have a ghastly and strange aura.
Before he could finish speaking, the inst.i.tute director of the Demi-Immortal Inst.i.tute shouted angrily, "How arrogant! I am interested in finding out how you plan on killing me!"
"Stubborn fellow. Since you"re courting death, come at me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man grunted coldly and directly created a temporary s.p.a.ce before flying in.
At their level, if they fought with their full strength, it would be enough to destroy the Profound Mysteries Realm. Unless one of them was as strong as Long Zhen and could crush the opponents instantly, they could not afford to fight in the Profound Mysteries Realm.
"I"m not afraid of you!"
The inst.i.tute director followed closely behind.
The other sixteen Great Sage Stage experts looked at each other and also entered the temporary s.p.a.ce.
The war had officially begun!
