Chapter 279: Azure Raiment Sword Sovereign

Zhang Duoyu found himself unable to refuse and instinctively nodded in response, "Thank you, Elder Brother Ke, for your care these past few days."

Ke Baimas face brightened happily. Then, he turned to the other Dao Foundation stage cultivators, his tone growing colder, "Return to where the celestial turtle is stationed immediately!"

The other Dao Foundation stage cultivators, knowing Ke Baimas ruthless nature, all meekly agreed and left the area in streaks of light.

As Liu Baliang piloted a flying sword Spirit Tool through the clouds, he watched Zhang Duoyu, who was standing on the flying sword a distance behind him, feeling a mix of resentment and envy.

Having been ordered by Ke Baima to look after Zhang Duoyu and carry him during flight, Liu Baliang's feelings of envy and incredulity were much stronger than the others'.

Over the past few days, Liu Baliang had watched as Zhang Duoyu, starting from an ordinary mortal, reconstructed his Jianggong meridian after ingesting some Marrow-Cleansing Meridian Restoration Pills. With their assistance, his profound qi cultivation base soared at an incredible rate, to a point that he found difficult to believe.

Liu Baliang harbored a terrifying speculationthere seemed to be a restriction on Zhang Duoyu, preventing him from absorbing all the souls at once. Otherwise, with the power of the tens of thousands of souls he had absorbed, he could have been pushed directly to the Dao Foundation stage!

The Soul Dao was rare in the Eastern Region of the Human Realm, but there were a few inheritances related to it in the Central Region. Although it couldnt be considered widespread, people in the Central Region had some understanding of the Soul Dao

However, the soul cultivation method practiced by Zhang Duoyu seemed particularly sinister and eerie, giving Liu Baliang a feeling of profound unease.

With a force capable of piercing the heavens, a sword intent swept across thousands of miles, exploding into a sword qi that seemed capable of obliterating everything in its path!

RUMBLE!

An enormous sword qi spanning tens of thousands of miles swept across with a deafening rumble!

It was like the suns had been destroyed. Flowing scarlet sword light lit up more than half of the Central Region, spanning two Territories and forming a rift that seemed to sunder the sky!

The sky darkened under the crimson light, distorting and twisting in the high heavens, overshadowing even the three suns.

As the invisible ripples from the sword qi approached from afar, the two celestial turtles floating side by side in the clouds preemptively activated a barrier of yao energy around themselves. However, the barriers were shattered by the sword qi in moments!

Spiritual Force surged, creating a translucent violet barrier around the two massive celestial turtles, safeguarding the hundreds aboard from the shockwave. Everyone hurriedly stood back up, gazing in shock towards the distant horizon.

As the sword qi dissipated, Xu Disheng deactivated the protective Higher Knowledge ability from the Deity Devouring Art. He looked towards the horizon at the shocking scene that looked as if the suns had been extinguished.

"Who is making such a move?"

"The sword qi from nearly ten thousand miles away is still so powerful. How utterly terrifying!"

"For that brilliant sword light to span across two Territories, it must be a 9-Avatar Greater Lord!"

"Has the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect already ordered the attack on the Moon Ghost Sect?"

Sun Yangping and Qin Ming, among other peak Divine Core stage Spirit Masters, watched the gradually fading scarlet sword light with unsettled expressions.

Shao Huangnians figure shifted in space, appearing parallel to Xu Disheng on the chariot of the other celestial turtle. He said gravely, "That sword light was from the top-grade Profound Treasure, the Great Sun Blood Sword. It seems the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect has personally taken action."

This was the shocking might of a 9-Avatar Greater Lord from the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance who had not entered Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation!

The Profound Treasure, the Great Sun Blood Sword, created a brilliant sword light that swept across more than half the Central Region, marking the start of this battle between sects.

In the Profound Yin Territory, within the Moon Ghost Sect, the balance of the power of heaven and earth was thoroughly disrupted by the presence of nearly a hundred Clone Avatar stage powerhouses. Every cultivator below the Primordial Lord stage was forced to retreat deep within their sect, watching the standoff high above with bated breath.

Eventide Greater Lord of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect, wielding the Great Sun Blood Sword, was surrounded by a brilliant aura of sword qi. A massive golden-red sun projection formed behind him, casting a shadow over half the sky. He faced the dozens of Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords from various peak-level forces aligned with the Moon Ghost Sect and laughed, "With just you all, you're hardly a match to stop the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance."

Behind him stood dozens of Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords belonging to peak-level forces and overlord sects from both Territories, including four from the Profound Depth Spiritual World, where Xu Disheng hailed from. These Greater Lords represented nearly half of all Clone Avatar stage cultivators in the Dawndusk Territory and the Mang Mountain Territory, showcasing the formidable might of the newly formed Dawndusk Daoist Alliance.

Each Greater Lord had an aura powerful enough to stir the winds and clouds, a sight rarely seen even in the Central Regions countless years of history.

Pale Ghost Greater Lord, withdrawing his bloodless, pale hand, posed a question to the Eventide Greater Lord and the other Greater Lords from both Territories, "The Great Sun Blood Sword of the Eventide Greater Lord truly lives up to its reputation. However, there's something I don't understand. Could the Eventide Greater Lord and the other Greater Lords enlighten me?"

Holding the Great Sun Blood Sword, the Eventide Greater Lord watched as the golden-red sun illusion behind him shone even more brilliantly. He nodded slightly, indicating he could speak.

"For a long time now, the Central Region has not had any conflict among the powers above the level of overlord sects. Although Heavenly Lord Mo Yu has transcended his tribulation, why do you stir up such conflict without reason? What benefit does it bring him?" Pale Ghost Greater Lord's hand, hidden in his sleeve, trembled slightly, hinting that parrying the sword qi of the Great Sun Blood Sword was not easy for him. "And to the Greater Lords of both Territories, I know you're also being coerced by Heavenly Lord Mo Yu, but there are also individuals in our peak-level forces have have entered tribulation. After several hundred years at most, there will be more Divine Sea stage beings. So why join the so-called Dawndusk Daoist Alliance and willingly submit to another force?"

Following these words, the Greater Lords behind the Eventide Greater Lord remained silent, with no one willing to respond.

"For his own unfathomable desires, Heavenly Lord Mo Yu coerced the eight peak-level forces of the Dawndusk Territory and the neighboring Territories to form this Dawndusk Daoist Alliance. Daoist Brothers, do you truly have no intention to resist whatsoever? You all come from forces with countless years of heritage, and many of you hail from celestial lands which have connections to the Heavenly Court. Despite having lost contact with the Heavenly Court recently, are you content with being Heavenly Lord Mo Yu's pawns?"

At that moment, a young man dressed in an azure garment stepped out of the void with a steel sword in hand. He scanned the crowd with a disdainful gaze and declared in a cold voice, "To be called a Clone Avatar stage cultivator like the rest of you is a disgrace to me!"

"Azure Raiment Sword Sovereign!"
