Chapter 409: The Million-Strong Great Army Arrives, Nonsense, The Poise Of One Person
Back at the Black Heaven Sect.
The Black Heaven Sect was now operating in a high capacity. All the disciples were occupied with preparation as to how to handle the incoming battle.
Meanwhile, on the outside, there were countless cultivators who were watching from the sidelines.
They had come to witness the destruction of the Black Heaven Sect and the downfall of the strongest sky-pride of the era, Chu Kuangren.
A dozen people were gathered on one of the mountaintops.
They were all Sages. Included in the group were Taixu Temple's Daoshi, Thunder Temple's Eminent Monk Dade, The Great Demon of the Underworld, and more.
At this moment, they were all looking at the Black Heaven Sect with strange looks.
"Do you guys think Chu Kuangren can pull through this time?" an elderly man with a whisk in his hand said. He was the Sage of Taixu Temple.
Upon hearing what he said, the Sage of Underworld Palace beside him chuckled. "Pull through? I think you're overestimating the Black Heaven Sect. There are, at most, only three or four Sages in the entire Black Heaven Sect. They will never stand a chance at surviving this. Chu Kuangren alone will not be able to fight off the unknown lands."
The rest of the group agreed with that thought.
Taixu Temple's Sage was merely making a casual remark. However, after listening to what the Underworld Palace's Sage had said, he did not offer a rebuttal either.
He, too, felt that the Black Heaven Sect was not going to escape this unscathed. He could not help but shake his head and sighed. "What a shame for Chu Kuangren. The strongest sky-pride of this generation will be crestfallen at such a circumstance. Otherwise, with the speed in which he's rising, he would surely be invincible in this world in less than a hundred years."
"Exactly."
"I agree."
Even the Underworld Palace Sage, who had quite a few vendettas with Chu Kuangren, had to acknowledge that Chu Kuangren had astonishing talents.
Even so, he commented, "A shame that this guy dealt with matters too arrogantly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into this perilous predicament today. He could only blame his inability to keep a low profile."
"Look, they're approaching."
Suddenly, someone from the crowd gasped in awe, staring towards the distance.
One after another, the Fairy boats traveled in from afar. On top of each of those Fairy boats were full of cultivators. There were so many of them that it looked ubiquitous.
Incredibly terrifying energies emanated from these Fairy boats. These energies hit the air particles violently like raging torrents.
The million cultivator-army had finally arrived. Among them were various types of Sages. This sight was way too magnificent to behold, captivating many people at the scene.
Even Sages could not help but gulp in astonishment.
"So many cultivators... There are about a million of them."
"This is wild."
The cultivators who had gathered nearby the Black Heaven Sect were stunned.
It was such a ridiculous scene.
"They're doomed. He's doomed."
"The Black Heaven Sect is really doomed this time."
Inside the Black Heaven Sect.
Black Heaven's Second Forefather, Third Forefather, Xuanqi, Elder Ruyan, Immemorial Sage, and a few others had also seen that ubiquitous cultivator-army approaching.
Each one of them wore solemn looks on their faces.
"This is far more than what I imagined."
"Most of them are cultivators from the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands. They have the deepest vendetta with Sect Leader. I heard that Sect Leader slew their Serpent Deity or something."
Fleet after fleet of Fairy boats had surrounded the Black Heaven Sect three times over on both inside and outside.
Boundless domineering auras overwhelmed them like a tsunami, shrouding over the entire Black Heaven Sect.
Under this domineering aura, the disciples' faces all turned pale. Sweat even started to form on those Daoists' foreheads.
Just the domineering auras alone were enough to make them feel suffocated.
How were they supposed to fight this battle?!
No matter how prepared they were to die for their sect, they could not help but feel hopeless. The difference between their two armies was way too big.
Right now, all Black Heaven Sect had was less than a thousand disciples and they had to fight against the million-strong great army, which also included quite a few Sages.
On the other hand, without counting Chu Kuangren, the Black Heaven Sect only had five Sages. These include Immemorial Sage, Black Heaven's Second Forefather, Third Forefather, Fairfrost Sage, and the Sage from Royal Azure Dynasty.
There was no way they could fight them!
Horrifying domineering aura spread from within the great cultivator-army.
Black Heaven's Second Forefather, Third Forefather, and the other Sages had activated their domineering auras as well to negate the suppressive force for their people. Nonetheless, their efforts did not help much.
The number of Sages on the other side far exceeded theirs.
A few people walked down from the Fairy boat.
Each one of them had an overbearing Sage Aura flowing on their bodies.
They were the most powerful Sages not from the unknown lands but the other few orthodoxies who had joined in the battle.
"Overlord Sage Tribe's Forefather Graylord Sage, Sky Emperor Palace's Heavenly Emperor Sage Li, Eight Wind Palace's Celestial Sage, and two other people are Solar and Lunar Sages from the Outer Seas — the two strongest Sages from that region."
"These people are almost as strong as the Great Sages."
"They have joined forces just to defeat Chu Kuangren."
Many people exclaimed in surprise when they saw these few Sages.
Black Heaven's Second Forefather had a grim look on his face when he saw the few Sages on the other side.
He knew that any one of these people alone would be enough to take on the entire Black Heaven Sect, let alone all of them together.
"To our fellow Sages of the Black Heaven Sect, if you guys surrender now and give us Chu Kuangren so he can receive his death, we can perhaps spare your lives."
The Sage donned in a black robe said nonchalantly.
This person was the Overlord Sage Tribe's Graylord Sage.
"Hah, I can't believe that the almighty and strongest person in the Overlord Sage Tribe would one day become a mere henchman for somebody else. How amusing."
Black Heaven's Second Forefather said.
However, Graylord Sage did not react to it.
"Chu Kuangren has done one too many bad deeds. He deserves this precarious position that he has put himself in today. Sages of the Black Heaven Sect, do give my offer a good thought. Surrender Chu Kuangren and maybe all of you will get to live."
"Do you really think we'll do that?"
Black Heaven's Second Forefather replied with a chuckle.
"It seems to me that there are no grounds left for a negotiation."
Graylord Sage said with indifference and took a step forward, where an incredibly appalling Sage Aura erupted. The Sages right behind him activated their respective domineering auras as well.
In an instant, the domineering aura that enshrouded the Black Heaven Sect became more vigorous.
The boundless domineering aura was entrapped over everyone's heads like a net. Even the Honorable Supremes could not help but turn pale.
The disciples were even more afraid as their bodies trembled violently and their knees almost buckled.
"The Black Heaven Sect... must be annihilated!!"
Graylord Sage said coldly.
"Bullsh*t!"
From afar, a yell suddenly rang out.
A frightening Sword-based Daoist Rhyme unleashed from the Longevity Hall and turned into a surreal-like purple sword shadow, which surged skywards!
A majestic and piercing domineering aura swept across the place, tearing the giant net of domineering aura, formed by the million cultivators-army into shreds.
All the disciples breathed a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, the one million cultivators on the other side glanced towards Longevity Hall nervously.
The door of the hall flung open, and a white-robed figure slowly walked out from it. He was donned in loose-sleeved white robes with a crown on his head, and he had a gorgeous ancient sword strapped to his waist.
The person who walked out of the hall was none other than Chu Kuangren.
Right behind him were two other peerless-looking ladies. One was as pure and sacred as a goddess, the other as elegant and noble as a queen.
These two ladies were Lan Yu and Gu Linglong. They followed closely behind Chu Kuangren, who looked unfazed by the million-strong cultivator-army they were facing.
With every step Chu Kuangren took, the Sword-based Daoist Rhyme on his body went up a notch. By the time he arrived at the front of the crowd, the sheer power of his domineering aura had already overwhelmed the million-strong cultivator-army opposite him!
His energy pranced in the sky frenziedly like a never-ending gust of wind.
It was both menacing and ruthless!
"Annihilate my Black Heaven Sect? Who the hell gave you the courage to utter such nonsense? Is it from those rotten dirty scumbags behind you?
Chu Kuangren glared at his enemies in all four directions.
The poise of one person was enough to overwhelm the whole scene. Even that great army of one million cultivators could do little to suppress his might.
