NOVEL NEXT Chapter 586: Annihilation of the Haoyuan Sect
This is where the power of the giants of the Enlightenment Realm lies.
Their thousand-foot Dharma Bodies are True Essence Transformations, feeling neither pain nor fearing destruction. Even if something powerful destroys the True Essence Transformation, as long as their true bodies remain, they can be reborn at any time.
Therefore, those in the Enlightenment Realm often use the True Essence Giant Palm to destroy heaven and earth, daring to touch anything.
However, when this palm strike was released, something unexpected happened!
His entire body's energy and blood suddenly reversed, and the True Essence Transformation shattered instantly.
This Enlightenment Realm cultivator was shocked.
What shocked him even more was that the entire world was completely reversed—ground became sky, sky became ground...
"Reversal Array!" cried an Enlightenment Realm cultivator, "This is impossible... Ah!"
More than a dozen giants of the Enlightenment Realm had their Dharma Bodies collapse simultaneously, falling from the thousand-foot sky, crashing toward the earth, and this crash defied convention, with the earth now above their heads, making them seem like they were being thrown upwards by an unseen force...
More than ten giants of the Enlightenment Realm.
Over three thousand Silver Mountain Bei.
The three thousand masters on the backs of the Silver Mountain Bei...
They all fell into the Abyss in the same way as the Silver Mountain Bei.
Blood and energy reversed, the Blood Tower destroyed, the Heavenly Star fell, foundation completely ruined...
"Concentrate your minds, stabilize the Spirit Platform!" Eight words descended from the sky, a command issued by an Enlightenment Realm master.
His voice remained steady.
This proved that his cultivation was definitely not inferior to that of Kun Cang Kong Wen Abbot of that day.
Among the Three Great Enlightenment Realms of the Three Buddha Temple, only Kong Wen, whose cultivation is the deepest, barely stabilized his internal Blood Tower, Heavenly Star, and Sea of Reincarnation under the Heavenly Yin Yang Chaos Array.
Yet all these more than ten Enlightenment Realm cultivators stabilized themselves, and even though they fell from the thousand-foot void, none of them died from the fall.
Hua Miaoyi's face changed: "The Enlightenment Realms of the Ancient Wilderness are this powerful?"
It's often said that outsiders see the spectacle, while insiders see the profundities.
Her words grasped the profundities.
"Second Special Assault Team! Fifth Special Assault Team, go!" Lin Xiaosu issued another order.
With a swish, eighteen Flying Cars pierced through the air, entering the battlefield.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
A rain of bullets flew!
The experts of the Haoyuan Sect experienced something they had never encountered before.
The machine guns and cannons of this world.
Such a level of machine guns, ordinarily, it would almost be impossible to hit them, but today, their foundations were completely destroyed, unable to exhibit their ghost-like speed.
The destructive power of this level, on a normal day, wouldn't be enough to be fatal to someone above the Observing Heaven level, because their True Qi could form effective protection. However, now, after their foundations were destroyed, they were just like ordinary people, even the formidable Enlightenment Realm struck down their life's path amidst the barrage of bullets.
Let alone the Fifth Special Assault Team.
The Fifth Team is a special combat unit controlling drones.
Though few in number, the small suicide drones they carried seemed almost endless.
The drones came in various sizes, including dragonflies, spiders, and beetles. When they entered a person's mouth, the person died; when they entered the mouth of the Silver Mountain Bei, the fierce war beasts with reversing energy screamed in pain, never to suffer again.
Those more than ten giants of the Enlightenment Realm went through three rounds of torment.
Being knocked out of the Enlightenment Realm was the first round, swept by machine guns in the second round, and having suicide drones drill inside them—boom!
In the valley, guns and cannons roared, and the ground shook.
The commotion was unparalleled.
Yet at its essence, it was intentional striking against the unprepared, catching the other side off guard.
The ensuing scenario was clearly a different situation.
On the summit of the Haoyuan Sect's mountain, ten shadows soared into the sky with a swish.
An elderly red-haired man, his beard and hair flying, asked: "Isn't this the so-called 'Land of the End of Dharma'? How is there a Heaven and Space Reversal Array?"
"The Heaven and Space Reversal Array, ever since the Ancient Array Sect departed from this world, has lost its inheritance here. Yet the outside world has it! Could it be the legacy of the Array Sect?" another elderly man with black hair questioned beside him.
"Why bother studying inheritance now? Anyone daring to defy this sect shall be killed without mercy!" a voice rang from behind, "The maximum coverage of the Heaven and Space Reversal Array doesn't exceed a three hundred li radius. Lower Court Ten Elders, each lead your disciples, advance in separate lines, and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"
This voice emanated from the Haoyuan Main Peak.
The ten-plus people bowed in unison, "By order of the Great Elder!"
Boom!
Together, the dozen or more people raised a hand, holding an Azure Wood Flag.
With the flag raised, the valley roared, the ground shook, and over ten enormous monstrous pythons emerged from the valley. Their heads as large as mountains, their black scales resembling huge grindstones, and on the backs of each python were over a hundred disciples in yellow garments.
All of this was seen clearly by Wing Blade, using the Array Path as his eyes.
At the entrance to the folded space, Feng Ji's face changed: "They've grown smarter, attacking dispersively, beyond the array's coverage."
"Exactly so!" Saintess Qian Ling said, "The maximum coverage of the Heaven and Space Reversal Array is only three hundred li, and that's only when using the Observing Heaven level as the Array Base to reach its limit. Currently, it's barely a hundred li. Attacking dispersedly like this, no matter how you set up the array, there will always be an Array Base exposed to the enemy's eyes, rendering the array unusable!"
Both of them, one with ancient memories.
The other holds fragmented memories of that world.
Both hit the nail on the head.
Hua Miaoyi raised her hand: "The battle of the cultivators has arrived!"
"Fight!" All the cultivators around her shouted in unison.
"Go!" Hua Miaoyi ascended with one step, taking all the people of Shenghua Valley with her.
Swish!
All the Enlightenment Realm cultivators attacked simultaneously, taking away all their people.
The battle belonging to the cultivators began just like this.
"I'm going too!" Hu Ya leaped up, rushing towards the mountain ahead. With a loud boom, the rocks beneath her feet shattered into pieces as she plunged into the battlefield.
"Brother, I'm going too!" Dawa took one last deep look at Lin Xiaosu, his body transforming into light smoke.
"Little Su, no matter how the battle ends, I still hope you preserve your life." With a movement of her foot, Saintess Qian Ling suddenly reached the treetop, and in the next moment, directly entered the battlefield.
Feeling the intense wind of the battlefield, it seemed to Saintess Qian Ling that she was once again at the frontier fortresses of yore.
In that battle, she had fought for the Human Clan.
She was gravely injured and became a remnant against her will.
Yet today, she would once again fight for the Human Clan. This battle would ultimately have regrets, the biggest being: her cultivation was insignificant compared to ten thousand years ago.
She couldn't even truly showcase the might of the Spirit Clan's Holy Daughter in this familiar bloody battleground.
However, when it came down to it, she had no regrets.
"Commander, I'm going too!" Number 8 raised his hand, saluting.
Behind him, seven Qianlong members saluted simultaneously.
"What use would it be for you to go?" Lin Xiaosu said, "You stay behind!"
The veins on Number 8's face twitched: "We..."
"Alright, alright, I know none of you Qianlong Gold Medals are afraid of death, but blindly throwing away your life is meaningless!" Lin Xiaosu said, "We have work to do!"
The last sentence carried over, and several Qianlong Gold Medals stood at attention: "Please give us the order, Commander!"
Lin Xiaosu extended his hand, and 8 segments were separated from the control panel.
"The eight of you, take over the central control! For detailed operations, refer to your respective manuals..."
The eight entered combat mode, each taking their position, and upon reviewing the manual, they were all invigorated.
The enemies attacked in a scattered manner. Under circumstances where the Array could not be used, Lin Xiaosu actually had a contingency plan...
That was anticipating the enemy.
But...
Number 8 looked up: "Commander, there's one more very important thing!"
"Speak!"
"Inside the Haoyuan Sect, there are still many experts. Even if we annihilate this wave of invaders, reinforcements will continue to arrive—how do we deal with them?"
Yes, this was the most pressing issue.
No matter how meticulous his arrangements or how thorough his strategies, they only targeted this phase of the battle.
Inside the Haoyuan Sect, there were still experts.
If they were to be annihilated, even stronger reinforcements would eventually emerge, and in the end, they would still lose.
Lin Xiaosu's gaze lifted, staring at the western sky: "Now we can only take a gamble, hoping that even the strongest of the Haoyuan Sect can't withstand a nuclear bomb strike!"
Nuclear bomb?
Number 8's eyes widened: "The space here is enormous, and it can't be pinpointed."
Lin Xiaosu said, "Did you think the deployment of Wing Blade was only to relay information from inside?"
Number 8's heart skipped a beat: "Wing Blade comes with its own locator..."
His voice cut short!
His eyes suddenly lifted!
In the sky above, a fireball cut through the sky, fast as lightning, diving straight into this Secret Realm.
Number 8 was completely stunned.
What does it mean to turn the impossible into possible?
What does it mean by Lin's strategy proving its brilliance in the direst time?
The folded space had just opened, and the magnetic field inside was chaotic; even the space was in disarray. Theoretically, it was impossible to launch a missile because you couldn't provide it with coordinates.
This was a challenge modern technology couldn't solve.
However, Lin Xiaosu solved it.
His solution was simple: Wing Blade!
The missile didn't need a target; just follow Wing Blade's tail.
Where Wing Blade went, that's where the explosion happened!
More than a dozen elders of the Haoyuan Sect and over a dozen giant pythons, leading more than a thousand Lower Court disciples, had just crossed the ridge.
Whoosh! A fireball skimmed over their heads.
The speed was inexplicable; that red-haired elder extended his True Essence Giant Palm to strike at the fireball, but futilely, as he only touched its outer layer. The immense shockwave almost caused him to topple.
"Weapons from the outside world? Quite powerful!" an elder remarked.
"It's powerful indeed, but it's also easy to dodge!" the red-haired elder exhaled. "No problem!"
Just as he said "no problem"...
Boom!
A massive explosion!
The missile landed accurately in the sect's central square.
The fireball expanded instantaneously a thousandfold...
On the square, countless people were instantly vaporized.
A mushroom-shaped cloud rolled upward, a black dot shot through the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the moment of the fiery explosion, it almost skimmed the edge of the fire, creating a sonic boom. Its speed increased tenfold more, breaking through to the sky.
This was Wing Blade!
Wing Blade's maximum speed far surpassed the missile's, capable of escaping a nuclear explosion, but how could the people of Haoyuan Sect have such reaction speed? Even if they did, they wouldn't anticipate it.
To cultivators, the fireball's arrival marked its greatest power, but little did they know, it wasn't the case.
The explosion was!
This explosion centered on Haoyuan Square, and a terrifying shockwave rolled across the grounds.
All the buildings instantly turned to smoke, everyone vaporized, every courtyard ceased to exist, and the mountains surrounding the impact point shattered into dust...
High on the tallest peak, an elder took a step into the air: "What's going on?"
Boom!
The shockwave rolled, instantly vaporizing the exotic flowers, grass, and ancient trees that had stood for millennia on the peak. A top-tier elder, having almost reached the Peak of Enlightenment, with his Primordial Spirit almost materialized, had his flesh and blood ripped from his bones, becoming a skeleton swept into the shockwave, soaring high into the sky.
This was a top-tier elder, and he wasn't even in the center of the explosion, at least ten kilometers away.
If even he suffered this fate, what about the others?
The special forces team, thirty miles away from the Haoyuan Sect explosion point, was utterly stunned.
