94: Bai Li goes into battle
The Star Palace, like a phantom, leaped out of the spatialaisle. In front of it, a vast, dark Asura army was already arrayed, poised for battle!
A murderous aura shot into the sky, dyeing half the starry expanse a dark crimson.
The Asura Royal Family leader, over ten feet tall, covered in dark golden bone armor, held a ferocious serrated long saber.
His Immortal Venerable early-stage pressure was unleashed without reservation, suffocating like a sea of blood.
Behind him, several Immortal Monarch-level Asura War Generals stood in a line, followed by tens of thousands of elite Asura warriors and monstrous insectoids.
"Hmph, a bunch of suicidal fools! Do you think you, a mere collection of Heaven Immortals and True Immortals, can contend with my army?" the Asura Royal Family's voice grated like metal, full of disdain.
He had no intention of personally intervening; in his view, his legions were more than enough to crush the opposition.
"Form up! Engage the enemy!" Yun Qingyao's clear, cold voice echoed through the array, reaching the entire army.
The Star Palace fleet instantly dispersed, transforming into individual combat units.
There was no retreat, no fear, only boiling fighting intent!
"Kill!"
With that command, battle erupted instantly!
On the left flank, Leng Yuechan charged ahead!
She didn't even bring out her newly acquired Ice Soul Silent Extinction Sword; she simply held her scabbard, and her Nirvana Sword Intent spread forward like an invisible tide!
"Nirvana Sword Domain: Return to Void!"
The hundreds of Asura warriors at the very front, as soon as they stepped into the Sword Domain's range, instantly slowed down.
The bloodthirsty glint in their eyes rapidly dimmed, as if the vitality of life was being quickly drained from them.
Their skin lost its luster, their movements stiffened, and then, like pottery weathered for ten thousand years, they silently shattered, turning into dust!
True Silent Extinction! Deprivation of life force!
The Nirvana Sword Hall disciples behind her followed closely, their sword lights like a forest, precisely targeting and eliminating those weakened by the Sword Domain, with terrifying efficiency!
The Immortal Monarch late-stage Asura Vice Commander, who was ordered to attack the left flank, was both shocked and enraged.
He roared and charged at Leng Yuechan, his massive bone hammer bringing down a destructive storm!
Leng Yuechan finally drew her sword!
Clang!
The Ice Soul Silent Extinction Sword was unsheathed! A ghostly blue sword light, seemingly capable of freezing souls, flared!
There was no head-on clash; the sword light, like a phantom, bypassed the bone hammer, thrusting directly at the Asura Vice Commander's wrist!
Before the sword's edge even arrived, the extreme cold and deathly stillness of the Sword Intent had already numbed his arm, slowing his movements by half a beat!
Swoosh!
The sword light swept past, and a bone-armored hand was severed at the wrist!
The Asura Vice Commander screamed and retreated, finally revealing terror in his eyes!
This woman's sword was too strange! Too cold!
Leng Yuechan, seizing the advantage, pressed on.
Her sword light unfurled again, clinging to her opponent like a maggot in a bone, each strike aimed at a vital point, forcing the Asura Vice Commander into a desperate retreat, unable to fully utilize his strength despite having it.
She was using her opponent to hone her newly acquired sword techniques and Sword Intent!
On the right flank, it was a completely different scene!
"Hahaha! What a thrill! Break for me!" Mo Sha roared with laughter.
His Ancient Demon True Body expanded to three zhang tall, his muscles coiled like dragons, demonic patterns flashing beneath his skin, as he charged directly into the densest part of the Asura formation!
He didn't even need a weapon; his fists were the best battering rams!
With one punch, space vibrated, and seven or eight Asura warriors, armor and all, were smashed into a pulp!
With one kick, a beetle as large as a small mountain was sent flying, its carapace shattering!
He was like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, rampaging through the enemy formation, invincible!
Asura attacks landing on him only left shallow white marks, unable to penetrate his defense at all!
The might of the Ancient Demon True Body was displayed to its fullest!
The more he fought, the more excited he became, and the demonic energy around him boiled even more fiercely, showing faint signs of a breakthrough!
"Amitabha!" Kong Ming chanted a Buddhist mantra, a stark contrast to Mo Sha's ferocity.
He transformed into a hundred-zhang golden-bodied Arhat, the Merit Golden Wheel behind his head shining like a small sun, showering soft yet resilient Buddha's Light that enveloped a large area of the right flank.
Wherever the Buddha's Light reached, the Asura Clan's malevolent aura melted away like ice meeting the sun, and the low-level insectoids shrieked as they turned to dust.
He did not actively attack but focused on defense and purification, constantly casting healing Buddha's Light to restore the injuries and stamina of Mo Sha and the Ancient Demon Battle Group disciples who were charging at the front.
One offense, one defense, one demon, one Buddha—their cooperation was incredibly seamless!
At the center of the army, Linglong sat cross-legged atop a battleship, her jade flute pressed to her lips.
The melodious flute music spread like invisible ripples across the entire battlefield.
This flute music had no effect on the Star Palace disciples, but for the Asura Clan, it was a deadly demonic sound!
Some Asura warriors, as they listened, suddenly had blood-red eyes, went berserk, and swung their sabers at their companions!
Others stared blankly, their movements becoming sluggish, as if trapped in an endless nightmare!
Still others screamed, clutching their heads, bleeding from their seven orifices, their immortal souls severely damaged!
Demonic music that bewitched the mind was impossible to guard against! It greatly disrupted the Asura army's formation and morale.
You Ye's figure, like a true ghost, flitted through the shadows of the battlefield.
Her ghost domain illusion techniques often created illusions that were indistinguishable from reality.
A small squad of Asura warriors might be frantically attacking an enemy, but in reality, they were fighting among themselves; an Asura War General might feel surrounded by powerful enemies, but in reality, he was just attacking thin air.
She combined illusions with assassination, often delivering fatal blows when the enemy was most chaotic.
Su Yuan commanded the central army's flagship, with countless data streams flashing on the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk before him, constantly sharing battlefield status, enemy weaknesses, and energy flow nodes with every team leader.
His deductions maximized the Star Palace army's attack efficiency, always achieving the greatest results with the smallest cost.
Jin Bao and A Zi had no fixed positions, acting like firefighters.
Wherever the pressure was great, Jin Bao would manifest part of his dragon body and unleash a scorching dragon flame, making the Asura cry out in pain.
A Zi, on the other hand, would summon small-scale thunderclouds, specifically targeting Asura squads attempting to form arrays or cast divine abilities.
While it couldn't kill experts, it was extremely effective at interrupting spells and creating chaos.
Yun Qingyao oversaw the entire situation, constantly issuing commands and adjusting formations.
She occasionally made a move herself; with a sweep of her Ice Soul Divine Light Sword, a domain of extreme cold would appear, freezing large groups of enemies, who were then shattered by subsequent attacks.
The battle was exceptionally fierce and brutal! Lives were lost every moment.
Although the Star Palace disciples had strong individual power and good coordination, the Asura army had a numerical advantage and fought fearlessly, their offensive coming in waves!
This was a true battlefield! Completely different from the previous small-scale skirmishes and trials!
Pressure! Immense pressure enveloped every Star Palace disciple!
But under this immense pressure, their potential was completely unleashed!
A veteran True Immortal disciple, formerly under Liu Ruyan, at a critical moment of life and death, had an epiphany; the bottleneck that had long constrained him suddenly loosened.
He roared and broke through to the early stage of Heaven Immortal!
His sword light instantly became several times sharper, cutting down an Asura centurion in front of him!
A Nirvana Walker, amidst the slaughter, deepened his understanding of Nirvana Sword Intent, his figure becoming more ethereal, his sword strikes leaving no trace.
A martial monk, after withstanding a blow from an Asura War General, found his Merit Golden Wheel becoming even more solid, breaking through to a new realm.
Even Chu Xinghe, while nervously maintaining the array and calculating trajectories in the rear, deepened his understanding of the Dao of Chaos Arrays by another layer!
Leng Yuechan's battle with the Immortal Monarch late-stage Vice Commander had entered a white-hot stage.
She had several new wounds on her body, but her eyes grew brighter and brighter, and her Ice Soul Silent Extinction Sword Intent circulated more smoothly and freely, gradually suppressing her opponent completely!
Mo Sha fought covered in blood, his Ancient Demon True Body absorbing a large amount of battlefield malevolent and blood energy, actually beginning to evolve autonomously, his physique expanding by another circle, his strength surging again!
Kong Ming, in the process of maintaining the large-scale Buddha's Light, deepened his understanding of Buddhist principles, and his golden body became even more brilliant.
Linglong's demonic music, amidst the struggles and roars of countless Asura, incorporated more sounds of slaughter, its power growing even stronger.
You Ye's illusions, tested on the real battlefield, became even more vivid and treacherous!
They were all fighting! All growing! All breaking through themselves!
The Star Palace, this sharp sword freshly forged, was undergoing its final, most thorough tempering with the blood and lives of the Asura Clan!
This great battle raged from day to night, and from night until dawn.
Although the Asura Clan was fierce and brave, in the face of these "monsters" from the Star Palace who grew stronger and braver with every fight, they finally began to show signs of defeat.
The left flank was routed by Leng Yuechan, the Vice Commander severely wounded and fled; the right flank was thrown into chaos by Mo Sha and Kong Ming; and the central army was utterly disorganized by demonic music illusions and precise strikes.
The Asura Royal Family member who had been observing the battle finally couldn't sit still.
He let out a furious roar, and terrifying Immortal Venerable pressure descended like a mountain, about to personally intervene!
But just then, a clear and majestic voice rang out from behind the Star Palace:
"Your opponent is me."
Bai Li's figure silently appeared above the battlefield, her vast Immortal Venerable early-stage aura meeting his without weakness!
Two great Immortal Venerables confronted each other, and the battle was about to escalate!
Below, the Star Palace disciples, looking at the figure in the sky, were greatly boosted in morale!
"The Deputy Palace Master has broken through!" "Kill all these scoundrels!"
Their offensive became even more ferocious!
Yun Qingyao watched her junior brothers and sisters rapidly grow in blood and fire, and watched Deputy Palace Master Bai Li single-handedly face the powerful enemy, a faint, yet incredibly firm smile gracing her clear, cold face.
