557: Chapter 557 Five Provinces Fall!

[The eerie army slammed into the barrier, letting out a deafening roar.]

[But those Eerie Creatures were fearless of death, charging at the barrier one after another.]

["This can't go on."]

[Empress Cangqiong's expression was grave.]

[She could feel that this barrier could only last for half an hour at most.]

[And at this moment.]

[Xuan Province, Qing Province, Xuan Province, Huang Province, and Central Province.]

[Five massive cracks split open in the skies of the five great provinces simultaneously.]

[From each crack, an Eerie Creature at the Immortal Emperor level stepped out.]

["Middle Stage Immortal Emperor?"]

[You stand above the Sacred Heaven Sect, narrowing your eyes.]

["It seems the Eerie Clan came prepared this time."]

["Su Ming!"]

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor flies to your side, his expression grim.]

["An Eerie Immortal Emperor has also appeared above Central Province. I must go to the Outer Heaven to intercept him, otherwise, the Canglan Realm won't be able to withstand a battle at the Immortal Emperor level."]

["I know."]

[You nod.]

["The situation is the same in all five provinces. The five of you must go to the Outer Heaven to pin down those five Eerie Immortal Emperors."]

[Seeing this, Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor looks at you with concern.]

["There is still a massive eerie army within the Canglan Realm. You, alone..."]

["Don't worry."]

[You smile faintly.]

["I am not alone."]

[As soon as you finish speaking.]

[Xuanyuan Tianji and several others appear by your side.]

[By now, Xuanyuan Tianji has already achieved a Breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Sixth Heaven Realm.]

[Immediately following that, your voice spreads throughout the entire Sacred Heaven Sect.]

["The Eerie Clan is invading! All Elders at the Immortal Emperor Realm and above, go to various parts of Central Province immediately to lead the Human Race in resistance!"]

["Cultivators in the Immortal Realm, guard the gates of your respective Sects and protect the low-level Disciples as they evacuate!"]

["All Cultivators below the Immortal Realm, enter the Sect's Secret Realms to take refuge!"]

[Your orders are clear and decisive.]

[Without the slightest hesitation.]

["Yes!"]

[The entire Sect responds in unison.]

[Countless Cultivators begin to move.]

["Su Ming..."]

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor looks at you, a flicker of complexity in his eyes.]

["Be careful."]

["Go."]

[You wave your hand.]

["Don't let those Eerie Immortal Emperors break in."]

[Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor takes a deep breath, his figure flashing as he charges toward the crack in the sky.]

[At the same time.]

[The Immortal Emperors of the other four provinces also charge toward the Outer Heaven one after another.]

[Five streaks of light soar into the sky.]

[Boom!]

[The five Immortal Emperors strike simultaneously, forcing the five Eerie Immortal Emperors back into the Outer Heaven.]

[The cracks in the sky still exist, but the battle at the Immortal Emperor level has moved to the Outer Heaven.]

["Phew..."]

[You breathe a sigh of relief.]

[At least the Canglan Realm won't collapse because of an Immortal Emperor battle.]

[But in the next second.]

[Your face darkens again.]

[Because from those five cracks, countless Eerie Creatures are still pouring out.]

[Moreover, the strength of these Eerie Creatures is generally at the Immortal Lord Realm or above.]

[There are even many Eerie beings at the Immortal Emperor Realm.]

["The numbers are too great."]

[You mutter to yourself.]

["It seems the Eerie Clan has come out in full force this time."]

[Just then.]

[A figure appears beside you.]

[It is Sword One.]

["Su Ming, Revered Master was worried that the situation here would be critical, so he sent me to support you."]

[Hearing Sword One's words, your heart instantly warms.]

["But... what about your side..."]

["Don't worry, the Sword Pavilion has Shisan and the others; nothing will go wrong."]

[Sword One interrupts you.]

[To this, you nod.]

[With Sword One, a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, present, your confidence grows.]

["Senior Brother Sword One, I'll leave that Immortal Emperor Ninth Heaven Eerie being to you!"]

["Leave it to me!"]

[Sword One takes the order and departs.]

[Immediately after.]

[You quickly make deployments.]

[Your orders come one after another.]

[Clear, decisive, without the slightest hesitation.]

["Yes!"]

[Everyone responds in unison.]

[They then quickly disperse to their respective defensive zones.]

[You, however, stand above the Sacred Heaven Sect, your gaze scanning the entire Canglan Realm.]

[At this time.]

[The Disciples of the Sacred Heaven Sect have already formed battle arrays, waiting in stern readiness.]

[And opposite them.]

[The dense, dark eerie army is surging forward like a tide.]

["They're here!"]

[Someone shouts.]

["Hold steady!"]

[Your voice rings in everyone's ears.]

["Remember your training, trust your companions!"]

["What we are defending is not just a single province, but the entire Canglan Realm!"]

["After today, every single one of you will become a hero of the Canglan Realm!"]

[Your words are powerful and resonant.]

[Instantly igniting everyone's fighting spirit.]

["Kill!"]

[The Sacred Heaven Sect Grand Elder lets out a roar and is the first to charge out.]

[Golden palm prints whistle through the air, booming toward the eerie army.]

[Boom!]

[The sound of explosions rings out.]

[Countless Eerie Creatures are sent flying by the impact.]

[But even more Eerie Creatures charge forward, fearless of death.]

["Battle Array!"]

[The Grand Elder shouts.]

[The Sacred Heaven Sect Disciples instantly change formation, forming a massive golden light shield.]

[The Eerie Creatures slam into the light shield, letting out ear-piercing shrieks.]

[But the light shield remains unshaken.]

["Very good."]

[You nod.]

[Decades of training have not been in vain.]

[These Disciples are already able to use battle arrays skillfully.]

[But you know that this is only the beginning.]

[The true test is yet to come.]

[Sure enough.]

[Just then.]

[A figure steps out from within the eerie army.]

[That figure radiates the aura of a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.]

["Quasi-Immortal Emperor..."]

[The Grand Elder's expression changes.]

["Everyone, fall back!"]

[Sword One's voice rings out.]

[He hadn't expected the other side to also deploy a Quasi-Immortal Emperor level Eerie being.]

["I will handle the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level Eerie being."]

[Sword One says calmly.]

["You all just need to hold the defensive line and not let any other Eerie Creatures break through."]

["I'm counting on you, Sword One!"]

[The Grand Elder gives a word of thanks and turns to leave.]

[Boom!]

[In the next second!]

[A terrifying aura erupts from Sword One's body.]

["Come on."]

[Sword One looks at the figure.]

["Let me see what surprises the Eerie Clan has prepared this time."]

[As soon as he finishes speaking.]

[The figure strikes at the same time.]

[Terrifying eerie power blasts toward Sword One.]

[As for Sword One.]

[He simply raises his right hand.]

[Rumble——]

[The heavens and earth change color.]

["Is that all?"]

[A cold sneer curls at the corner of Sword One's mouth.]

["It seems the Quasi-Immortal Emperors of the Eerie Clan are nothing more than this."]

[Before his voice even fades.]

[His figure has already vanished from the spot.]

[In the next second.]

[He appears in front of the eerie figure.]

[And strikes with his sword.]
