Chapter 1549 - 1126: Each Displaying Their Divine Techniques

Being spoken to in such a manner, True Monarch Gui Xuan was naturally left completely speechless for a moment. He knew his words contained flaws, but having governed the Gui Xuan Sect for many years, he was no slow-witted pedant.

"Whether it is or isn’t, there’s no need to argue. I will use the Thousand Ghosts Qi Seeking Secret Technique again today to investigate, and that will settle it!" True Monarch Gui Xuan declared directly.

Hearing this, True Monarch Jie Ye, who stood nearby, nodded. Of course, as he nodded, he also sent a Transmission to True Monarch Gui Xuan.

"Find the Teleportation Array and the hidden Nascent Souls."

Although True Monarch Jie Ye possessed the Spirit Treasure Celestial Stabilizing Mirror, the Righteous Sect naturally had Magical Treasures to counter it. Moreover, it was very difficult to completely freeze the void around a large-scale composite Teleportation Array. If they could destroy the Teleportation Array in the instant the void was frozen, their chances of victory would increase immensely. They had to ensure a few Nascent Souls were kept here today. Naturally, if True Monarch Xu Huai was truly present, today’s encounter would just be a probing spar.

Hearing True Monarch Jie Ye’s Transmission, True Monarch Gui Xuan neither answered nor turned his head to respond, but his confidence inevitably swelled. Forming hand seals for the Secret Technique, he released his Lifebound Ghost Banner, preparing to execute the Thousand Ghosts Qi Seeking Secret Technique once again.

However, before he could cast it, a profound, starry Spiritual Light emerged in the void. It continuously expanded. Watching this, True Monarch Gui Xuan felt his scalp go numb. How could he not recognize the signature Star Scattering Divine Techniques of True Monarch Xingyuan? This divine technique had once instantly obliterated a Middle Stage of Nascent Soul cultivator in their prime, back when True Monarch Xingyuan had just broken through to the Late Stage of Nascent Soul. Its power now was likely even greater. Fortunately, at this very moment, True Monarch Jie Ye’s body vanished from where he stood.

The next moment, he appeared in front of the Star Cave. As he threw a punch, it was as if all the Spiritual Energy had been drained from the entire void. With a loud BOOM, the starlight shattered, sending countless streams of Spiritual Light surging in all directions. It seemed about to transform into a storm that would destroy everything, but with a wave of the two men’s hands, it gradually settled back into calm.

The terrifying commotion this caused had already sent a chill down the spines of countless Cultivators. If the residual might truly washed over them, even Golden Core Cultivators might not be able to withstand it. Even Ye Jingcheng was startled by it at this moment.

Despite True Monarch Xingyuan and True Monarch Jie Ye appearing to have the same Cultivation as True Monarch Yin Yuan, the gap between them was far too vast. True Monarch Yin Yuan possessed no formidable divine techniques, nor did he exude such an overwhelming sense of oppression. Most likely, True Monarch Yin Yuan wouldn’t last more than a few moves against True Monarch Xingyuan and True Monarch Jie Ye.

"The biggest difference between Nascent Soul and Divinity Transformation is that a Nascent Soul relies on their own True Essence, while a Divinity Transformation can borrow the power of heaven and earth for their own use. Ordinary Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators can be considered to have grasped a superficial understanding of this," True Monarch Xingyuan’s voice rang in Ye Jingcheng’s ears. The voice came via a Transmission, but it was enough to show how highly True Monarch Xingyuan regarded Ye Jingcheng. Immediately after, True Monarch Xingyuan flew up into the air, and True Monarch Jie Ye soared up alongside him.

The two ascended to the boundless heights. Clearly, neither of their strengths could be withstood by anyone else present. If they truly fought within the city, they would accidentally injure many. Of course, the most important thing was that True Monarch Jie Ye was confident that they had nineteen Nascent Souls on their side. On the Righteous Sect’s side, they relied on the Array, had two True Monarchs with immense potential in True Monarch Xuan Kui and Ye Jingcheng, and additionally had State Governor Liu, whose Sword Dao was transcendent. Besides that, the Teleportation Array was continuously transporting Cultivators over. A Nascent Soul had already arrived through it, bringing the number of Nascent Souls on the Righteous Sect’s side to twelve.

"Liu Daoist, let’s change locations as well. If we end up annihilating each other’s disciples, I wouldn’t mind, but you, Liu the Daoist, would be heartbroken," True Monarch Xuanming said to State Governor Liu. Although the two of them were at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, in terms of sheer strength, ordinary Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators could not compare to them. They similarly transformed into a Sword Light and a dark beam, disappearing from the front of Demon-Vanquishing City.

"Liu Yuan Daoist, go and stop the Xiao Family’s Old Demon. I will go and meet the Desire-Union Old Demon!" True Monarch Xuan Kui looked at True Monarch Liu Yuan. Despite True Monarch Liu Yuan being a woman, her Wood Technique had long reached Great Success, and her strength at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul likewise carried an immense reputation throughout the Southern Wilderness Province. The fact that the Mountain Map Liu Family had previously been able to occupy large mansions like the Tianshu Mansion was undoubtedly partly due to True Monarch Liu Yuan’s formidable reputation.

"Alright!" Though confused, True Monarch Liu Yuan still nodded. Instantly, boundless cyan light permeated the air around her, and countless wooden tentacles and Wood Giants flew out.

The Xiao Family’s Old Demon was similarly a Body Cultivator. His entire body appeared as if it had been infused with Sinking Iron, exceptionally hard and thick. Most importantly, a green eye was situated between his brows as well. As the green eye shot out a green light, a massive coffin emerged from within it and landed. However, instead of a giant corpse lying within the coffin, it was a Tier Five Corpse Emperor the size of an ordinary human.

"Old Demon Xiao Huan, this is your master!" True Monarch Liu Yuan couldn’t help but shout coldly upon seeing the Corpse Emperor’s face.

"For my master to still be able to help me after death, this is a truly great bond between master and disciple! Today, I shall use your blood to sacrifice to my master." The Xiao Family’s Old Demon showed not the slightest hint of emotion, much less regret. His eyes held only madness and bloodlust.

The two figures dashed out as streams of light, eventually crashing viciously against a colossal piece of Willow Wood. The secret technique that could normally withstand a Tier Five Secret Technique proved somewhat fragile in this moment, easily shattered to pieces. But right then, True Monarch Liu Yuan waved her hand, sending a Cyan Jade Treasure Rhombus flying out that instantly entangled the Corpse Emperor. With a light shout, she charged into the sky with the Xiao Family’s Old Demon, changing their battlefield.

For a moment, all the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul cultivators on the scene began to take flight. They each displayed their divine techniques, with True Monarch Xuan Kui even transforming into a massive Wood Demon Body once again to engage in battle with the Desire-Union Old Demon. Soon, only the Early Stage of Nascent Soul cultivators remained in front of Demon-Vanquishing City. Ye Jingcheng, Xiao Wankun, True Monarch Liuyun, Wang Ke Wei, and Jiang Daorong faced off against nine Early Stage of Nascent Soul cultivators.

"I will control the Array to stall three of them. Xiao Wankun, stall two. Jiang Daoist, you stall two as well. As for Liuyun Daoist and Qianchen Daoist, the two of you have slightly weaker Combat Power, so it will suffice to keep one occupied!" Wang Ke Wei spoke out. He was manipulating the Array of Demon-Vanquishing City. With his Nascent Soul Cultivation, he could naturally pin down three individuals. It was just a bit difficult for Xiao Wankun, as he had, after all, recently broken through to Nascent Soul. Jiang Daorong, on the other hand, was fine, given that he possessed a Spirit Treasure. One must know that very few Nascent Soul Cultivators owned Spirit Treasures.

"There is no need for such distribution. Today, I, Gui Xuan, will clear the field!" However, right at this moment, True Monarch Gui Xuan of the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul suddenly returned. Meanwhile, True Monarch Min Yue, who had charged out alongside him, showed no sign of returning.

"No need to look. He has been trapped by my Array and Secret Treasure," True Monarch Gui Xuan said, his gaze falling upon Ye Jingcheng. He had heard from True Monarch Jie Ye that True Monarch Qianchen of the Celestial Sand Sect was the one specifically targeted for death this time. Not to mention the significant merit it would bring, the opponent was merely an Early Stage of Nascent Soul cultivator. Furthermore, it was this very True Monarch Qianchen who had ruined the Gui Xuan Sect’s plans several times in the past. This time, he naturally intended to take revenge and wipe away his humiliation.
