Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1014: Chapter 976: Support

After a verbal skirmish, the two Human Immortals finally returned to calm and joined hands to cope with the assault of the Sea Clan in the Immortal Realm.

The seemingly amiable Jiu Xiao Human Immortal was actually a rare Martial Cultivator!

His body, sturdy as a diamond, boasted astounding defense; ordinary Immortal Artifacts couldn’t leave a scar on him. Holding a Beheading Giant Blade in each hand, his presence was like a tiger descending a mountain, his demeanor suddenly transformed, his eyes filled with chilling light, his body emanating killing intent.

The Sea Clan Human Immortal he was battling against was utterly overwhelmed and showed signs of defeat without any power to fight back!

It is known that battles between beings of the Immortal Realm wouldn’t easily result in a victor unless there was a significant gap of a Great Realm, since both parties have immense Mana for support, proficiency in various Divine Powers, and almost equal understanding of The Great Tao and the Laws.

Of course, there are exceptions.

Like Jiu Xiao!

The Law he comprehended was the Law of Power, arguably the most formidable for combat power. While second and third rankings may be debatable, the Law of Power stood undisputedly first, with no objections.

The reason is simple: the Law of Power significantly augments one’s combat power and appears primitive and brute, emphasizing overpowering all with sheer force; yet, it is incredibly complex. Only those with extraordinary talent would dare comprehend the Law of Power, or else it would lead to a dead end!

And yet, Jiu Xiao managed to cultivate to the Realm of Human Immortality, showcasing his incredible talent. Had he chosen a different Law, he might have exceeded the Realm of Human Immortality by now.

Regrettably, among the Immortal Tao cultivators, there was only one Jiu Xiao; his outstanding combat achievements couldn’t alter the overall situation.

Thus, after defeating a Sea Clan Human Immortal, he withdrew to the Immortal Array of Immortal Tao and, like others, waited for subsequent support.

Perhaps due to the immense pressure Jiu Xiao had brought upon the Sea Clan, they who were originally not so aggressive, started to put forth their full strength!

Instantly, various Laws related to the Great Tao of Water manifested, fusing into a surging Lawful sea, as if reviving the Great Tao of Water itself.

This put great pressure on the cultivators. If they failed to find a solution, their current Immortal Array would stand no chance against the Sea Clan’s onslaught.

”Fellow Daoist Jiu Xiao, please strike with all your might to weaken their combined attack as much as possible,” said a Human Immortal with a grave expression. ”Other Fellow Daoists must also prepare, or else, if the Immortal Array breaks, our situation will become even more dire! We might not hold out until the arrival of reinforcements.”

An Immortal Array isn’t a trivial matter to set up. In some sense, it’s the embodiment of Laws! Its complexity is manifold higher compared to Mortal Realm Arrays.

”Understood!”

Fully aware of the severity, they naturally wouldn’t create conflicts or disputes over this matter.

Jiu Xiao’s expression was serious. He closed his eyes to gather energy, his surroundings entirely peaceful, showing no sign that he intended to release his full power—but in the next instant! The moment he abruptly opened his eyes, an overwhelming force emerged, suffocating everyone.

Even the Mortal Realm battlefield miles below was affected! Soldiers fell from the sky for no reason, as if pushed into the sea by a colossal hand.

Both the cultivators and the Sea Clan in the Immortal Realm couldn’t believe what they were witnessing.

”Break for me!”

Behind Jiu Xiao materialized a Dharma image wielding a grand axe, majestic and solemn. With a thunderous shout, the axe smashed heavily towards the Lawful sea.

BOOM—

The deafening explosion echoed in all directions, a blinding white light preventing anyone from opening their eyes as the Laws collided and obliterated each other.

After what seemed an eternity, the white light finally dissipated.

The giant axe shattered into countless fragments, returning to Laws absorbed by the heavens and earth, the Dharma image also vanished without a trace, and Jiu Xiao, drained from the effort, was completely exhausted.

Yet the combined strike of nearly a hundred Sea Clan Immortal Realms was shattered by his single blow, their previously fused Laws were once more separated.

Although they were still numerous, their potency was significantly reduced, allowing the cultivators to breathe a sigh of relief.

In doing so, they stood a chance to resist and protect the Array.

But what left the deepest impression on both sides from this battle was none other than Jiu Xiao, or more accurately, the terrifying might of the Law of Power!

Prior to this, they knew of the Law of Power’s ability to dominate all, its undisputed rank as first, but they had no concrete understanding.

Jiu Xiao showed them!

It is no exaggeration to say that he resolved the crisis so effortlessly on his own strength.

’Maybe we can encourage the younger generation to attempt to master the Law of Power.’

This thought arose in the hearts of every being of the Immortal Realm after the battle.

If their faction could produce an unparalleled genius like Jiu Xiao, their strength would see a significant increase!

As for the risk that their younger generation might reach a dead end and halt their progress because they failed to comprehend the Law of Power, that didn’t worry them.

After all, they have long lifespans and witness countless geniuses—why would they care about a few?

——

The great battle of the Immortal Realm didn’t affect the remote Wanxia Sea Domain.

A full month had passed, and the Giant Pincer Thick Shell Crab tribe hadn’t launched another attack on the cultivators or even harassed them!

This relief brought joy to many factions—no longer combating the Sea Clan, no more casualties or losses, how could they not be pleased?

Yet, this ceasefire plunged one faction into a dilemma, that being the Cave Abyss Sect.
