Chapter 1729 - 490: Facing the Heavenly Demon Alone, Great Emperor's Power Shakes the World

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh."

A host of figures swiftly flew out from the Cave Mansion and arrived in the void.

They were all high-ranking Great Saints.

There were even nine Great Saints among them.

However, whether they were high-ranking Great Saints or otherwise, they dared not leave the range of the Mountain Gate Array.

"Boom boom boom."

The Heavenly Demon continued attacking the Mountain Gate Array of the Enlightenment Saint Sect.

Lu Changsheng stepped out and entered the void.

"Sect Master, what's happening? Didn't our Enlightenment Saint Sect reach an agreement with the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area? So why is the Heavenly Demon personally attacking our Mountain Gate Array?"

Lu Changsheng directly asked the Sect Master.

The Sect Master's face was gloomy as he stared intently at the Heavenly Demon, coldly saying, "I don't know what's going on either."

"Heavenly Demon, what madness is this?"

Upon hearing the Sect Master's "interrogation," the massive head of the Heavenly Demon fixated on the Sect Master.

"Foolish!"

"Your Enlightenment Saint Sect is facing great disaster without realizing it."

"The Great Emperor Beichen has already agreed to My conditions. As long as the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area participates in the war between two realms, Beichen will not interfere with whatever the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area wishes to do."

"And My only condition is to annihilate your Enlightenment Saint Sect for the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area to reign supreme!"

The Heavenly Demon's voice was loud.

It practically echoed throughout the Enlightenment Saint Sect.

Instantly, a clamor arose among the crowd.

"What?"

"Impossible!"

"How could the Great Emperor Beichen agree to such terms?"

"We have no connections with Beichen, right? Under the current circumstances, all Beichen needs to do is not intervene, so what difference does our survival or demise make to him?"

"This is the Heavenly Demon..."

For a moment, the Enlightenment Saint Sect was thrown into a panic.

The Sect Master's face turned grim.

"Sect Master, quickly send a message to inquire with Beichen to confirm if this is true."

"No matter what, we belong to the Human Clan's Holy Sect, while the Heavenly Demon is of another tribe..."

"Even if Beichen doesn't assist, he shouldn't make promises to the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area..."

Many urged the Sect Master to send a message.

The Sect Master hesitated but then decisively sent a message.

The group waited quietly.

Soon, the Sect Master received a response.

Only four words.

"Deal with it yourself."

Upon seeing these four words, everyone instantly understood.

The Great Emperor Beichen and the Heavenly Demon seem to have truly reached some kind of agreement.

All along, the Enlightenment Saint Sect's refusal to participate in the war between two realms appeared to have genuinely angered Beichen.

"Our Enlightenment Saint Sect carries the Great Emperor's Dao with the protection of the Mountain Gate Array, so breaking it is no easy task even for an emperor; what can the Heavenly Demon do? Previously, the Heavenly Demon couldn't overcome the Mountain Protection Array either."

"That's right, as long as we persist and protect the Mountain Protection Array, the Heavenly Demon cannot overcome our Enlightenment Saint Sect."

"To protect the Sect's Dao, we must rely on ourselves..."

Numerous elders of the Enlightenment Saint Sect spoke.

They needed to stabilize the morale.

The Enlightenment Saint Sect has a long history and profound heritage.

They've long understood the necessity of relying on themselves.

Therefore, throughout the years, the Enlightenment Saint Sect never considered seeking refuge with any Great Emperor.

They entirely relied on themselves to confront the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area.

Even when the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area birthed a Heavenly Demon, the Enlightenment Saint Sect continued to face them head-on with the Mountain Gate Array.

As for the Great Emperor?

The Enlightenment Saint Sect never yearned for the Great Emperor.

After all, the Great Emperor holds no relation to the Enlightenment Saint Sect.

But now, if the Great Emperor Beichen has reached an agreement with the Heavenly Demon.

Even though Beichen doesn't personally take action against the Enlightenment Saint Sect, such actions still leave people disheartened.

No matter what, the Heavenly Demon remains of another tribe.

The Mountain Gate Array continued to tremble violently.

The Heavenly Demon's attacks didn't weaken by a single degree; they even grew stronger.

"Hold steady."

Sect Master and the Supreme Elder of the Enlightenment Saint Sect took action personally, attempting to stabilize the Mountain Gate Array.

They held tremendous confidence in their Mountain Gate Array.

It's capable of withstanding attacks of an emperor's caliber.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, a group of Exotic Beasts flew out from the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area.

All of them comparable to the level of the Great Saint.

Even comparable to the nine Great Saints, there were quite a few.

This many Exotic Beasts were evidently sent by the Heavenly Demon to the Enlightenment Saint Sect.

Their purpose was self-evident.

"Heavenly Demon, do you intend to provoke a war between the Human Clan and the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area?"

Seeing this scene, the Sect Master couldn't sit still.

Last time, the Heavenly Demon attacked the Mountain Gate of the Enlightenment Saint Sect; the Sect held firm because the Heavenly Demon couldn't breach their gate.

However, if all Exotic Beasts from the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area are unleashed, it will be different.

In this situation, any power shift can lead to changes.

Previously, the Enlightenment Saint Sect wasn't afraid of an all-out war with the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area.

Because Enlightenment Saint Sect possessed deep heritage.

After all, the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area is of another tribe.

If it dares to go all out, it wouldn't be about personal grudges.

It would become a war between humans and Exotic Beasts.

At that time, certainly, strong human warriors would intervene.

The Enlightenment Saint Sect also had friendly Sect forces that would lend a helping hand.

But now it's different.

If the Heavenly Demon Forbidden Area dares to go all out, it likely received some promises.

There might be no one coming to support the Enlightenment Saint Sect.

This is the role of the "Great Emperor Beichen."

"Boom boom boom."

With the ferocious attacks of countless Exotic Beasts, the Mountain Gate Array of the Enlightenment Saint Sect truly suffered immense pressure, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

Even if it can withstand for now, what about in the future?

Ten days?

A month?
