Chapter 1654: Chapter 1296: The Plan
Both sides are Heavenly Immortal powers, and conflict broke out at the slightest disagreement!
The Heavenly Immortals of the Ming Family wanted to ascend to the skies to minimize damage to the Golden Light Realm, while the Cave Abyss Sect had similar intentions, only hoping to avoid the Heavenly Dao of this Realm suppressing their power again.
However, the cultivators of other realms had no such concerns. One after another, they immediately deployed killing moves to try to defeat their opponents.
The confrontation between both sides, with the aura and pressure radiating from tens of thousands of cultivators, changed the color of heaven and earth.
In an instant, the flowing clouds ceased and the breeze stopped, as if this space had fallen into a standstill.
Boom!
The battle was on the verge of breaking out, as both sides simultaneously unleashed Magical Treasures, Talismans, Divine Powers, and killing moves. A myriad of Spirit Light clashed in mid-air, instantly triggering a terrifying explosion.
However, the Cave Abyss Sect had the protection of the Formation, taking advantage of the terrain, and with most disciples’ strength restored, they held some advantage during the confrontation.
High above the sky!
Dozens of Heavenly Immortal Great Abilities were fiercely engaging in battle here.
“Invaders, today will be your death!”
“Heh!” A Heavenly Immortal from the Cave Abyss Sect coldly laughed, and with a wave of his wooden staff, a bright green light transformed into giant pythons attacking.
“Such insignificant skills, dare you embarrass yourself here.” The Heavenly Immortal let out a dismissive snort, clapping his hands to unleash countless meteor sparks, pouring down upon the pythons.
Rumble ——
Two Divine Powers collided in the air, explosions rang one after another, and the terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions.
This Heavenly Immortal from the Cave Abyss Sect seemingly had bad luck, encountering an opponent who cultivated Fire Attribute Divine Ability, which restrained him.
Yet at their level, a little restraint doesn’t necessarily help much.
The battle grew increasingly intense; each clash of Divine Powers unleashing stronger shockwaves, which eventually began to affect the nearby space.
And it wasn’t just this battlefield, other Heavenly Immortal battlegrounds were much the same!
To overcome the other side, neither intended to hide their power and were fighting with all their might to quickly resolve the enemy.
However, wishing to conclude the battle in a short time seemed impossible, considering the vast amount of Mana accumulated within. Even with all-out fighting, the battle could last three days and nights without concern for Mana depletion.
Adding the consumption of Rejuvenation Immortal Pills and similar Spiritual Objects, this duration could be further extended!
…
Compared to the battlefield in the sky, ground combat was even more bloody, brutal, and fierce.
Various Spirit Light intersected, yet beneath the dazzling colors were cries, screams, pleas, anger, and those bodies lying on the ground, unable to rise again!
The situation for Cave Abyss Sect disciples was relatively better, with Formation protection, and initially, no significant casualties, but as the Formation was breached, casualties began appearing among them and increased rapidly!
The losses of the Ming Family were the most terrifying!
The defense of their Cloud Boats was ultimately inferior to the Mountain Protection Array. Shortly after the battle erupted, it was repeatedly broken, forcing them to stand on the ground confronting the Cave Abyss Sect disciples.
Though they also deployed Defensive Arrays, how strong could the hurriedly deployed Formation be in terms of defense?
Under such circumstances, it’s conceivable that the number of fallen and injured Ming Family members wouldn’t be small!
The Cave Abyss Sect initially held some advantage and later leveraged this to continuously suppress the Ming Family, steadily closing the gap, still holding the upper hand for the time being.
…
This battle lasted for nine days and nine nights!
Space shattered countless times, the sky changed colors, the earth cracked, peaks crumbled, rivers severed, and Wanling were annihilated.
On the ground, black mounds appeared everywhere; upon closer examination, they were piles of corpses, with soil stained dark red by flowing blood, forming pools in the depressions.
The massive scale of the battle naturally attracted the attention of various forces.
No one dared to approach, but none left either.
Because they wanted to know at the first moment who would be the ultimate victor of this earth-shattering battle!
“The Ming Family’s Cloud Boat has left!” exclaimed a native Earth Immortal skilled in Water Mirror Divine Ability uncontrollably.
“What?!”
The faces of the cultivators turned exceedingly pale, crowding forward, unwilling to believe his words.
Being creatures of the Golden Light Realm, they naturally hoped the Ming Family would win, but such was not the case.
When they saw the scene in the Water Mirror and confirmed his words, they felt a darkness before their eyes, sinking into chaos.
The departure of the Ming Family meant the victory of this battle went to the invaders, the Cave Abyss Sect from the Primal Spirit Realm!
In fact, the situation was very dire for the Cave Abyss Sect, even as they won the battle.
They won merely through a pyrrhic victory!
Both sides lost numerous low-level cultivators, but those aloof Heavenly Immortals cared little—death was simply death unless victory had been decided, which wouldn’t shake their resolve.
But when the Cave Abyss Sect assassinated a Heavenly Immortal Great Ability, the situation instantly changed.
The Ming Family immediately chose to retreat!
Thus, they were defeated by the Cave Abyss Sect.
And the reason it was considered a pyrrhic victory was that the casualty rate among Cave Abyss Sect disciples reached seventy percent in this battle!
