Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1669: Chapter 1303: Battle (Part 2)

The Sect Leader was, of course, extremely furious, as the enemy had already annexed several vassal territories without them knowing anything about it!

Had it not been for an Individual Immortal coming out of seclusion and finding the Life Token of a certain friend shattered, they might still be in the dark.

“Must we wait until they strike our Mountain Gate, or even wipe out the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, for you to realize the gravity of the situation!”

Facing the Sect Leader’s rage, the seated elders all bowed their heads; none dared meet his gaze, nor even breathe heavily.

After a long while, he finally vented most of his anger, his tone slightly calmer as he said, “Tell me, what ways do you have to swiftly resolve this suddenly emerging dynasty!”

For a long while, no one spoke, and the grand hall was enveloped in a deathly silence.

Bang!

The table, made of precious spirit wood, was shattered into pieces with a single palm strike, as the Sect Leader’s icy gaze swept over each one present.

“Third Elder, Fifth Elder, quickly investigate the other party’s strength; we must not let them grow any further!”

“Yes!” The named elders replied with a wry smile.

“Elder Er, Elder, and Elder Jiu, start gathering the disciples and prepare for battle. Great Elder, I’ll trouble you and the remaining elders to prepare strategic materials…”

The orders were issued methodically; no one dared to oppose the furious Sect Leader.

The Human Dao Dynasty appeared for the first time in the Golden Light Realm, and the inhabitants of this realm didn’t know much about it. Moreover, since the Great Zhou had long planned their moves, when the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain sent disciples to infiltrate secretly, they found it merely resembled a mundane small dynasty, at most having some mortals who didn’t absorb Spiritual Energy but possessed special powers.

And there were not many of these mortals, just a few, at most a dozen or so in a city.

After a cursory investigation, they returned with this information to the Sect and reported it to the two elders.

“Strange! If that’s the case, how did this Great Zhou Dynasty manage to annihilate those vassals?” Third Elder slightly frowned; it was abnormal.

It’s essential to know that none of the forces that were annihilated had any cultivators escape alive!

“Perhaps they’ve already guessed we might be taking action, so they’ve hidden all their power?” Fifth Elder also felt something was off but voiced his guess.

“That possibility does exist.”

“Alright, leave it to the Sect Leader to worry about.”

The Sect Leader’s guess was the same as Fifth Elder’s; they all believed the Great Zhou Dynasty had hidden its strength and could only send a sufficiently powerful force based on those two Earth Immortal forces’ situations.

Days later, Ten Thousand Sword Mountain formally set out, heading straight for the Great Zhou Dynasty!

But soon, they encountered a massive problem.

At the Great Zhou’s border, a 100,000-strong iron-blooded army stood tall here, blood qi soaring skyward, evil qi swirling, forming a blood-red and black intertwined fierce tiger above them.

Just the sight of it instilled fear in one’s heart.

“This strength… far exceeds ordinary Earth Immortal! Aren’t they mortals?”

Yes! Aren’t they just mortals? How could they possess such overwhelming power!? All the cultivators were puzzled, unable to comprehend the scene before them.

As they were caught in bewilderment, the Great Zhou Iron Army launched a fierce assault!

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

The roar resounded in the sky, and the giant tiger suddenly opened its eyes, its enormous eyes fixated on those cultivators.

With the waving of the Xuanhu Flag, the army surged towards the cultivators like a torrential flood.

Though they flew in the sky, gigantic feathered arrows shot skyward, striking the cloud boat’s defenses and creating breaches instantly.

At this point, the cultivators also reacted and began attacking the army.

Though Ten Thousand Sword Mountain severely underestimated the Great Zhou Dynasty’s power, their preparations this time were also extremely robust. Hence, after overcoming the initial surprises, they showed the depth and strength of a top-tier force of the human race in the Golden Light Realm.

Gradually, the Great Zhou Iron Army lost its advantage, for over eighty percent of those 100,000 soldiers were only briefly trained; they were far lacking in every aspect and had done well to hold on this long.

At this moment, a few streams of light flew from the hinterland, each emanating an Earth Immortal aura.

Notably, the reason Ten Thousand Sword Mountain did not suspect the Great Zhou Dynasty of being Outer Realm invaders was primarily due to their power not being suppressed; otherwise, Ten Thousand Sword Mountain would certainly have dispatched a more tremendous force.

However, these Human Dao Earth Immortals did not linger in battles with them. They let the army reorganize and return to the Daoist magic network before withdrawing.

“Want to leave? Stay here!”

Those cultivators naturally didn’t want to let them off, attacking in attempts to keep them, all to no avail!

Because when the cultivators thought they had captured them, they suddenly turned into a splash of ink, falling from the sky to the ground.

It turned out that at some point, several Human Dao cultivators had already escaped the encirclement.

Such bizarre tactics triggered Ten Thousand Sword Mountain’s vigilance; the strength of this Human Dao Dynasty seemed to be extraordinarily potent.

But regardless, they had to resolve it!

Yet the ensuing scene incited immense panic and fear among the cultivators.

As they entered the Great Zhou Dynasty’s territory, they suddenly sensed a strange power, and then their strength was suppressed to varying degrees!

“How could this be possible!”

“Quick! Leave this bizarre land at once!” In their panic and confusion, a few Earth Immortals managed to stay calm, immediately instructing so.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

One by one, Human Dao cultivators appeared, the strongest among them having reached Perfect Earth Immortal, just one step short of a breakthrough.

Moreover, there were hundreds of thousands of troops surrounding Ten Thousand Sword Mountain’s disciples, leaving them with no escape.

Witnessing this scene, nearly all the cultivators fell into despair.

If no accident occurred, their fate was sealed—death!

No one would calmly accept this outcome; each desperately sought ways hoping for an escape.

But the more they did so, the slimmer their chances became.

Originally, if they had concentrated their forces at the beginning, they might have had a chance of survival. But now, their path had been severed!

“Act now.”

Facing suppression in their strength while the adversaries were bolstered, these cultivators stood no chance!

Their fate in this scenario was all but predictable!

…

Ten Thousand Sword Mountain came with great confidence, but the outcome left the sect’s cultivators utterly shocked.

“How could this be possible!”

Listening to the returning disciples recount the battle, no elder wanted or dared believe it.

However, upon receiving word that the Life Tokens of those fellow disciples and comrades had all shattered, they could only accept this reality.

“Sect Leader, what should we do now? This strange force will certainly not miss this golden opportunity and might launch a full-scale attack on the Sect…”

“Hmph! If that day truly comes, it would be nothing but dying alongside the Sect.”

“If the situation deteriorates to that extent, I will ask the ancestors to make a move!”

The Heavenly Immortals of Ten Thousand Sword Mountain were all in their Cave Heavens, comprehending the Laws, diligently cultivating to transcend as soon as possible, with no inclination to learn about the outside world.

But the sect now being in a dire situation forced them to call upon these ancestors.

Meanwhile, after the battle, the Great Zhou Dynasty rapidly expanded outward, akin to a greedy jackal, unconcerned about overindulgence!

The reason being, they knew Ten Thousand Sword Mountain was undoubtedly in a state of panic, lacking the energy or interest to mind those vassal forces.

Moreover, it was highly likely they would call upon Heavenly Immortals to act, compelling them to gather more and stronger forces before then!
