Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension - Chapter 670: 408: Calamity Looming

Chapter 670: Chapter 408: Calamity Looming

Zhao Sheng soared above the high tower, observing numerous Demon Disciples of the Earth Flame Palace clad in green and purple magic robes fleeing in extreme terror below.

Regarding these ants, he paid no heed, with just a flick of his finger, a first-rank Treasure Talisman instantly transformed into a hundred-zhang Thunder Dragon. It roared and shot out, catching up with a Golden Core Demon Cultivator in frenzied flight in the blink of an eye, striking him with a heavy injury.

Not bothering with the injured man’s escape, Zhao Sheng surveyed the tower below as a palm-sized pure white Array Plate suddenly slid from his sleeve.

As the Array Plate fell, it suddenly twisted and blurred, transforming into a vast expanse of white light, spreading like ripples, covering the entire area of the Scripture Storage Tower.

As Zhao Sheng’s divine thought moved, a massive amount of mana was consumed from within his body. In an instant, billions of light symbols appeared within the white light below, subsequently condensing into thousands of strands of array light. A third-rank lower-grade Earth Sealing Demon Formation swiftly materialized!

The Ten Thousand Talisman Array Plate, truly an Earth-level heavy treasure, harbors all-encompassing array formations. Any formation etched into it, from the first to third-rank lower grade, could be activated by a mere thought.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the owner of the Array Plate must be sufficiently powerful. If anyone from the Qi Refining Realm could produce a third-rank great array with a single thought, then the Ten Thousand Talisman Array Plate would not only be a high-grade Magical Treasure, but a unique Spiritual Treasure in this world.

“Those who surrender shall be spared; those who resist shall be killed without mercy!”

“Those who surrender shall be spared, those who resist…”!

“Those who surrender…”!

Just as Zhao Sheng sealed the Scripture Storage Tower, commands urging surrender boomed repeatedly from different parts of Earth Flame Island.

At the same time, in the east, west, and north directions of Earth Flame Island, the Daoist Soldier Corps from each side, led by their respective leaders, continuously defeated enemies in their paths, their momentum unstoppable, crushing all opposition.

In contrast, the side of Earth Flame Island, caught off guard and headless, couldn’t organize a large army in time to resist the invaders, resulting in a total rout and overwhelming defeat.

Swish!

Zhao Sheng looked up to assess the entire island’s battle situation, then took a step forward, his figure vanished in a flash, transforming into nothingness.

The next moment, he emerged from the void, appearing above the Red Stone Tower, a dozen miles west of the Ancestor Hall.

Hum!

A streak of golden light flashed by, and the Hundred Flames Tripod flew out from Zhao Sheng’s Dantian, hovering slowly in the void, resembling a magnified version of a “Golden Core”, perfectly rounded, emitting brilliant golden light.

The next second, the Hundred Flames Tripod’s radiance intensified, a vast array of dazzlingly colored Fire Clouds spontaneously formed, extending in all directions. In an instant, they enveloped an area of a thousand zhang.

The thousand-zhang Fire Clouds released extreme heat, distorting the air, as countless sparks fell from nowhere. Once buildings and vegetation touched these sparks below, they immediately blackened and withered, soon igniting into a Fire Sea.

As Zhao Sheng’s divine thought moved, the thousand-zhang Fire Clouds spread toward the Ancestor Hall, along its path everything burned to cinders, forming a stark, massive pathway of flames.

Two breaths later, the Fire Clouds swiftly neared the Ancestor Hall but stopped abruptly a hundred zhang away.

Deep within the Fire Clouds, Zhao Sheng stood on the Hundred Flames Tripod, his divine thought sweeping toward the Ancestor Hall like a storm.

Boom!

Suddenly, a layer of faintly visible white light appeared outside the Ancestor Hall, blocking Zhao Sheng’s probe.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng’s expression showed no surprise; it was just a routine probe.

He looked around as the other three Nascent Soul Ancestors quickly closed in on the Ancestor Hall, arriving almost simultaneously.

At this moment, the east side of the Ancestor Hall roiled with Thunder Light and thunderous sounds, as Han Wei emerged solemnly from the Thunder Sea.

On the west side of the Ancestor Hall, a vast sandstorm howled, within it, a hundred-zhang stone man stood towering like a mountain.

On the north side of the Ancestor Hall, a great river surged, and torrential rain poured down, a transparent water person suddenly took shape from the rain, quickly transforming into Zhou Li dressed in plain blue Confucian attire.

“Those who surrender shall be spared; those who resist shall be killed without mercy!”

As the four Nascent Souls arrived at the Ancestor Hall in unison, the calls for surrender from various parts of Earth Flame Island escalated, deafening.

Seeing that two Nascent Soul Ancestors of their own Sect had yet to show themselves to face the enemy, whereas the enemy’s four Nascent Soul Ancestors had already reached the front of the Ancestor Hall.

Witnessing this scene, the morale of the majority of Earth Flame Palace’s Demon Disciples instantly crumbled:

“The building is about to fall, Earth Flame Palace is doomed!”

“There are no enemies to the south, hurry and flee!”

“Even ants try to survive, let alone humans!”

“Alas, I intended to fight to the death, yet our Ancestor fled without fighting!”

“…With my life preserved, I shall seek revenge for this deep-seated hatred in the future!”

“Ha ha, those who bullied, insulted, hit, and attacked me, now end up with no intact corpse. They deserve it, I surrender! Immortal Master, I surrender!”

Thus, bizarre scenes unfolded all over the island, where mortals trembled behind closed doors, and if someone forced entry, all would kneel and surrender.

Some Earth Flame Palace disciples fought while retreating, suddenly abandoning everything midway to frantically escape toward the south where there were no enemies.

Some didn’t even have the courage to face the enemy head-on; seeing the enemy storming in, they simply grabbed nearby treasures and fled for their lives.

As a Demon Path Great Sect, the Earth Flame Palace’s disciples were mostly selfish, seeing the sect on the brink of collapse, few were willing to die fighting for it.

Of course, there were still those loyal to the Earth Flame Palace; the Three Great Families, being too deeply intertwined with the Earth Flame Palace to separate. And since the Earth Flame Island was the ancestral land of the Three Great Families, the stakes were too high.
