Chapter 557 366: Celestial Palace Golden Seal, Purple Sky Celestial Prison?

"Booming!"

In the Jiuyi Mountain Range, tens of thousands of green lanterns illuminated the heavens and earth brightly.

Yet it was silent, with no one speaking, only Spiritual Qi rolling, stirring up wind and thunder, rumbling continuously.

Master Tiandou and the Sword Fox Immortal both looked worriedly at the black Demon Cloud ahead.

The Demon Cloud was like a cocoon spanning the heavens and earth, flickering with an uncertain ghostly light, such that even Late Stage Golden Core cultivators could not see through its contents, uncertain of the battle's outcome.

"Haha, do not wait. Your junior brother, having cultivated for less than two hundred years, though possessing exceptional talents, how could he withstand the Sect Leader's Human Body Dharma Embryo?"

"After all, he is nothing but a corpse!"

In the faraway Celestial Vault above, Master Jiao Sha laughed triumphantly, seemingly confident.

That Master Shenyi, having cultivated for over seven hundred years and famed as the foremost Golden Core of the contemporary Thousand Waves Sect, held two Spiritual Treasures, but now is merely a "Body Without Soul," a dying man.

Such a figure could not contend with the Sect Leader, let alone a junior?

Slaying a Tier Three Flying Corpse was merely by the advantage of a Tier Four Sword Pill!

Behind Master Jiao Sha, numerous Great Demons of the Celestial Demon Sect and Golden Core cultivators also sneered repeatedly, their eyes filled with a bloodthirsty light.

If these ten-plus Golden Core cultivators from the Thousand Waves Sect and Cyan Peak Daoist School could break the array, they would naturally succeed in breaking the mountain and vanquishing the sect, becoming renowned worldwide, but now the Sect Leader blocked them, and their plan failed.

Once the Sect Leader's true form breaks through and presides over the array, these ten-plus Golden Core cultivators would surely be at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board.

Over ten Golden Core cultivators, such flesh and blood... what a great supplement indeed!

One Great Demon couldn't help but lick its lips, a yearning surfacing in its heart.

"Buzzing!"

At that moment, the Demon Cloud in the sky suddenly trembled incessantly, the dark light swelling.

"Haha, the Sect Leader has won!"

Seeing this, Master Jiao Sha couldn't restrain a laugh.

"Boom!"

But in the next instant, his laughter froze on his face.

The Demon Cloud burst open, dissipating violently, and endless Yin Qi vanished like dew, as amidst the vast dark clouds, a tall, handsome young Daoist quietly emerged.

He held a Dharma Seal with one hand behind him, the other hand gripping a grayish-golden Dharma Seal, which trembled incessantly, seemingly struggling to escape, but was suppressed by a vast magical power, unable to move.

And beneath the Daoist, lay a corpse split in two.

The fallen head seemed to still harbor reluctance and shock.

"Junior Brother!"

"Sect Leader?!!"

Two distinctly different voices suddenly echoed from the Celestial Vault above.

The former was joyful and relieved, the latter panicked and horrified.

"How is this possible?!!"

"You killed the Sect Leader's Human Body Dharma Embryo?!"

Master Jiao Sha widened his eyes in disbelief, staring at the corpse beneath Gu Yuan's feet, his gaze full of shock.

How could this be?!

He felt he could no longer think, his mind consumed by one thought.

"Isn't he merely a Daoist Embryo Cultivator; why couldn't he slay?"

A light chuckle emerged from the dark clouds.

Gu Yuan waved his sleeve, dispelling all the remaining Demonic Qi of the Netherworld Boundary Seal, and took a step forward, with dazzling sword light rising aside him, bearing the momentum to shatter mountains and sever peaks, suddenly slashing towards Master Jiao Sha.

"Boom!"

But in an instant, Gu Yuan staggered and almost fell.

The sword light beside him, like snow under the Great Sun, swiftly extinguished and vanished.

Fortunately, he immediately stabilized himself and retracted his step, his figure once again standing tall like pine and cypress.

"The Tier Four Array is truly extraordinary, almost embarrassing..."

Gu Yuan inwardly smiled wryly.

Just now, he held the momentum of victory, seeing Master Jiao Sha seemingly undefended, thus took a step to directly slay him, completing the victory.

But unexpectedly, as he took just half a step, he suffered the ruthless suppression of the Jiuyi Profound Demon Array.

The mighty force seemed like a thousand mountains weighing on his back, terrifying to the extreme, but fortunately, he reacted instantly and withdrew his step.

Yet, the brief awkwardness was fully caught by the people.

However, none dared to laugh.

The corpse that remained unresigned in death, like turbulent waves, impacted everyone's heart and spirit, leaving them speechless for a long time.

"Escape!"

"While the array is yet unbroken!"

Suddenly, from the Celestial Vault above, a Great Demon of the Celestial Demon Sect shouted in panic, breaking the silence.

"Boom!"

Upon these words, instantly, over ten Escape Lights emerged in the sky above, each fleeing in different directions.

Originally, the joint forces of Cyan Peak Daoist School and Thousand Waves Sect were hard for them to withstand; the first ambush ended in failure.

At that time, the thought of dispersing and fleeing had already arisen in their minds.

Unexpectedly, the sect still had a hidden card left, Sect Master Nine Flames still possessed a "Human Body Dharma Embryo," boosting their confidence, believing it infallible.

But in less than half an incense stick's time, the situation reversed again.

The Tier Four Demon King's Human Body Dharma Embryo card couldn't withstand the Daoist, how could they?

Flee, flee, flee!

While the array is yet unbroken, there's still a glimmer of hope.

Master Jiao Sha's face also changed drastically, fluctuating.

He knew once he left the Celestial Demon Sect, without the protection of the two Sect Leaders, they would surely not escape the pursuit of Daoist Embryo Cultivators, so he endeavored to maneuver, incite, and delay the two sects' path to breaking the array.

But unexpectedly, the Sect Leader's final card failed.

The array is nearly inevitably broken.

Is the Celestial Demon Sect truly about to be annihilated?

"Go, act separately, leave the East Mountain Realm, maybe there's a slim chance!"

As he hesitated, beside him, the Flying Thunder Giant Demon already seized a Silver Gilded Treasure Mirror, stirred up flying thunder, and suddenly flew out of the array.
