Chapter 1077: Collision, the Battle of Daolords
Editor: Henyee Translations
In fact, half a day earlier, the group of cultivators led by Daolord Pantheon had already tracked their way to this array setup site by following the lingering energies.
However, upon detecting the enemy, Daolord Pantheon did not command an immediate attack. Instead, observing the bizarre actions of the demonic cultivators, he led his group to lie in wait at this location, seeking to uncover the underlying conspiracy.
It was only after observing the deployment of one banner after another that he realized the people from the demonic sects were setting up an array. Despite his extensive experience as a great Daolord, he could not recognize any aspects of the array being set up.
Yet, the sheer terror of the array was undeniable. Just the fluctuations emitted during its setup caused a vague and obscure unease in Daolord Pantheon’s heart.
Ultimately, he chose to record the process of the array’s setup using a certain type of recording stone and sent it to Jiang Chengxuan through various means.
After completing all this, and just as the enemy was about to leave, feeling relaxed, he chose to strike boldly.
In the void, the Dao rule of Daolord Pantheon and Daolord Five Poisons collided suddenly, causing a terrifying explosion at their meeting point.
Undoubtedly, the site of impact was closer to the demonic cultivators’ side. As a result, countless demonic cultivators were caught in the blast and severely wounded in an instant.
The only regret was that Daolord Five Poisons seemed to have been on guard against something, and thus, even under a surprise attack, no effective damage was inflicted.
“Daolord Pantheon! You intrude into our demonic territory uninvited. Are you trying to start a war?” After the clash, Daolord Five Poisons shouted furiously with a ferocious expression.
If it wasn’t for the need to be constantly vigilant while deploying the Absolute Heaven Array, he might very well have faced uncertain life or death under that strike, which infuriated him even more.
“What vile deeds your demonic sect has done, do I even need to say it out loud?” Daolord Pantheon retorted without backing down, immediately challenging the other.
This remark shocked Daolord Five Poisons, his expression gradually turning grave. He didn’t counter but instead asked calmly, realizing something:n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“How long have you been in the demonic territory?”
“I have nothing to say to you, but we are fully aware of the filthy deeds performed by your old demonic Daolords.”
The exchange between the two Daolords left their subordinates confused, yet they themselves understood the implications of the conversation.
“Does this mean the righteous forces have fully infiltrated the demonic territory?” Daolord Five Poisons asked again, his face darkening.
However, Daolord Pantheon gave no response, just staring fixedly at his opponent.
In that instant, Daolord Five Poisons understood that the righteous path had indeed uncovered the demonic plot, and a cataclysmic battle was now unavoidable.
“Then you shall all die!” The next moment, he manifested his great Dao rule, a dense black-purple energy enveloping the world around him, pressing down ferociously towards Daolord Pantheon.
“Hmph!” Daolord Pantheon no longer held back either. Golden light surged around him, his great Dao rule manifesting as a vast golden river, rushing towards the black-purple energy to counter it.
As the two clashed, a signal for all-out combat was given. Cultivators from both the righteous and demonic sides began to unleash various techniques against their foes.
Boom! Boom! The collision between Daolord Five Poisons and Daolord Pantheon shook the entire world. If not for the Floodgate Realm being fortified by a prosperous era, a natural disaster would have likely been triggered.
“Whoosh!” Without hesitation, the two transformed into beams of light, ascending to the skies above. Only there could they fight without causing catastrophic damage to the world below.
This scene was mirrored in many areas within the demonic territory, as Daolord Skeleton clashed against Qin Shenwu’s Five Elements Mountains, and Daolord Phantom Ghost unleashed the Path of the Yellow Springs against his adversary’s overwhelming sword intent.
A war involving all peak powers of the Floodgate Realm erupted without warning—an epic battle that involved the highest echelons of power.
All cultivators within the demonic territory trembled at this world-shattering scene, puzzled why the righteous Daolords had suddenly initiated a massive attack against them.
Under such terrifying pressure, they had no capacity to think, only trying to flee the battlefield to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
Meanwhile, in the central stronghold of the demonic alliance, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan stood in the void, sensing the terrifying energies unleashed from various locations, aware that a grand battle between good and evil had once again begun.
However, the couple chose not to attack the main sect of the demonic alliance directly.
Jiang Chengxuan was more concerned with the array flags that had been discovered by the Daolords during their covert operations or before the war broke out within the demonic territory.
Despite his expertise in array, he could not determine the purpose of the array from the images sent by his allies.
Such a situation undoubtedly piqued Jiang Chengxuan’s curiosity. They had come here to strike against the demonic sects, but uncovering the conspiracy between the demonic sects and the demonic immortals was their primary goal.
“Husband, based on what I see, this array set up by the demonic sects certainly does not belong to the Floodgate Realm,” Shen Ruyan commented softly after reviewing the transmissions from other Daolords.
Jiang Chengxuan agreed wholeheartedly. Given that the demonic sects had aligned with a demonic immortal, it was unlikely they would exert such effort for a trivial array.
He promptly took out a jade slip from his collection, which had been recorded by Immortal Eastern River, labeled “Record of Unusual Arrays.”
“Absolute Heaven Array!”
After searching the jade slip and carefully comparing the information, Jiang Chengxuan located the details about this particular array.
Shen Ruyan leaned over to read along, her expression growing solemn.
“Absolute Heaven Array, isolates heavenly secrets, summons immortals.”
These brief descriptions were enough to turn both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan’s expressions grave.
It was hard to imagine that, unbeknownst to them, the plans of the demonic immortals and the demonic sects had progressed so far.
Had they not uncovered this today, they might soon have faced a true immortal being—an opponent against whom even a united front of all sects would stand little chance.
After a moment of contemplation, both Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan looked at each other, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
According to descriptions from various great Daolords, the Absolute Heaven Array was possibly near eighty percent completion.
