I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 977: Chapter 510: The Strange Star Realm

Several months passed, and Sword Master Feng led the elders of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect to block the front of the Netherworld Sect. A great battle was imminent, and the atmosphere was so tense it seemed one could squeeze water from it.

The mountain gate of the Netherworld Sect was shrouded in heavy dark clouds. The disciples of the Netherworld Sect were on high alert, their eyes filled with fear of the unknown and the resolute determination to protect their Sect to the death.

The Mountain Protection Array of the Netherworld Sect was activated, its array patterns appearing and disappearing within the dark clouds, slowly awakening like ancient totems. The dark green light circulating within the array starkly contrasted with the dazzling sword light of Sword Master Feng and his companions, making the entire mountain gate area seem enveloped by a sea of death.

The Mountain Protection Array of the Netherworld Sect, named the ”Heaven-Burying Array,” was created by the ancestors of the sect who spent countless efforts gathering the ultimate yin and evil powers of Heaven and Earth. Not only did it have formidable defensive capabilities that could withstand all external attacks, but it also contained eerie methods of assault that could silently and invisibly erode the enemy’s psyche, causing cultivators caught within to fall into endless fear and illusions while boosting the battle strength of disciples practicing the sect’s Netherworld Technique by several fold.

With the full activation of the Heaven-Burying Array, the disciples of the Netherworld Sect had their morale significantly boosted. A fervent light flashed in their eyes, as though inspired by a mysterious force. The aura around them resonated with the dark green light in the array, making them seem merged with this sea of death.

”Disciples of the Netherworld Sect, hear my command! Today marks the life and death moment for our sect. The Heaven-Burying Array is opened, and it is time for us to demonstrate the power of the Netherworld and protect the glory of our Sect!” Standing atop the mountain gate, Sect Master Gao Hong’s voice pierced through the heavy clouds, reaching the ears of every disciple, igniting the fighting spirit within them.

The disciples responded in unison, their voices echoing to the skies and filled with defiance and determination. According to the pre-rehearsed formation, they quickly positioned themselves at various nodes of the Grand Array, connecting their spiritual power with the array to form an indestructible defense line.

”Feng, the two sects have no deep-seated enmity; do you really intend to fight us to the end?”

The voice of Sect Master Gao Hong of the Netherworld Sect was deep and powerful, questioning Sword Master Feng loudly in anger.

”Hand over Elder Li of our sect, and if he is hurt even a bit, we will spare no expense to completely flatten the Netherworld Sect!” Sword Master Feng’s voice also resonated through the sky, filled with undeniable determination and anger. He glared at Gao Hong, the blade of the Cyan Kite Dao Sword trembling slightly, as if ready to erupt with murderous intent at any moment.

”Elder Li Mu is an indispensable pillar of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. The Netherworld Sect has abducted him without cause. Such actions cannot be tolerated by Heaven! Today, we are determined to rescue Elder Li. If you do not release him, there’s no need for the Netherworld Sect to exist anymore!”

As soon as Sword Master Feng finished speaking, Sword Master Chen followed with stern reproach.

The seven sword elders behind Sword Master Chen, along with the disciples, were equally filled with righteous indignation, their sword light flickering, swearing to follow the two sword masters and battle the Netherworld Sect to the end.

Hearing this, Gao Hong’s face was so dark it seemed it could drip water. The battle today seemed unavoidable, yet he still held a thread of hope and reluctance in his heart. He glanced around and saw the disciples of the Netherworld Sect with eyes full of determination and resolve, clearly ready to live and die with the sect.

”Hmph, Sword Master Feng, don’t think our Netherworld Sect is truly afraid of you! Our Heaven-Burying Array is opened, and if you want to destroy our Netherworld Sect, your Profound Celestial Sword Sect will not emerge unscathed! Today, let’s see who will have the last laugh!”

With an angry roar, Gao Hong’s figure suddenly rose, his entire being surrounded by dense Nether Qi, like a demon god emerging from hell.

In that moment, the atmosphere on site became extremely tense; a decisive battle concerning the fate of the sect was imminent!

”Sword Master Feng, Sword Master Chen, you need to consider carefully. If the Profound Celestial Sword Sect dares to attack the Netherworld Sect, our sect will not sit idly by!”

At this moment, Sect Master Xin Tiansen of the Profound Cloud Sect beside Gao Hong suddenly spoke.

The Profound Cloud Sect, like the Netherworld Sect, was stationed in the Outer Realm, though both were less powerful than the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. Should the Netherworld Sect be destroyed by the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, the relationship would be as close as the lips and teeth.

If the Netherworld Sect fell, it might trigger a chain reaction. The Profound Celestial Sword Sect would surely continue its aggressive expansion into the Outer Realm, causing a massive disruption to the balance of power in the Outer Realm.

Therefore, the Profound Cloud Sect had no choice but to stand alongside the Netherworld Sect to resist the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.

”I have spoken. Release Elder Li of our sect immediately, and everything can still be negotiated. Otherwise, don’t blame me, Feng, for not sparing anyone with my sword!”

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Sword Master Feng’s eyes as he glared intently at Gao Hong. His voice was as biting as ice, each word like a heavy hammer pounding on everyone’s heart. The surrounding air solidified, the wind ceased entirely, and only the tense foreboding of the impending clash lingered in the air.

”Hurry and release him, otherwise, even if the Profound Cloud Sect intervenes, we will still flatten the Netherworld Sect!”

Sword Master Chen followed closely, forcefully exclaiming without any room for doubt.

At this moment, Sword Master Chen’s sword qi surged around him, standing shoulder to shoulder with Sword Master Feng. Their momentum was like a shooting rainbow, like two insurmountable peaks on the battlefield, behind which stood several sword elders, each wielding a Dao Sword, their killing intent soaring.

Once they unleashed their fury, how many in the Netherworld Sect would remain?

This thought flashed in everyone’s minds, yet no one dared to voice it easily. Though the disciples of the Netherworld Sect had determination shining in their eyes, they couldn’t help but feel fear in the face of the combined pressure of these two top sword masters of the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
