Chapter 95 The Great Battle Between Good and Evil
The various Sect Heads descended like divine soldiers from the heavens, catching the Five Demonic Sects completely off guard.
However, the opposition was clearly no pushover; after a brief moment of daze, they immediately launched a counterattack.
The battle between over a hundred and fifty Core Formation Realm Cultivators was terrifying beyond measure. Bursts of fearsome spiritual explosions echoed through the heavens and earth, sweeping in all directions like a passing typhoon.
Even from ten kilometers away, Ye Fan and the others could clearly feel the aftershocks of the battle, making their breathing ragged for a moment.
"This is a true battle between Core Formation Realm Cultivators. By comparison, my fight with Li Xiao was nothing more than child's play," Ye Fan couldn't help but mock himself.
The Five Demonic Sects never dreamed that the people from the Nine Great Sects would suddenly appear. Their plans were completely disrupted, and every one of them was beyond furious.
It could be said that the Five Demonic Sects had exhausted their life's blood for today's plan.
But they never expected to be discovered by the Nine Great Sects at the final hurdle, forcing them to make adjustments.
The great war a hundred years ago had turned the hundred-mile radius around the Heavenly Demon Palace into an isolated ghost realm.
The space-time agitated by spiritual energy formed a natural sealing barrier that even the powerful Golden Core Ancestors of the various Sects found difficult to cross.
After a hundred years of settling, this power had weakened slightly, but it still remained impassable by normal means.
The Five Demonic Sects had intended to join forces to punch through this barrier, but the sudden appearance of the Nine Great Sects caused them to fail at the last moment. They only managed to clear half the way before being forced to stop, leaving a passage that could only accommodate Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators.
The power of Core Formation Realm Cultivators was too strong; if they tried to force a Breakthrough, it would only shatter the spatial channel. The resulting chain reaction would completely sever the connection between the inside and outside of the Heavenly Demon Palace, and their plan would end in total failure.
Left with no choice, the Five Demonic Sects could only send their Disciples into the spatial channel while the Core Formation high-rankers stayed outside to resist the Nine Great Sects' attack.
"Hmph, nothing more than a deathbed struggle. Disciples of the Nine Great Sects, hear my command: charge into the Heavenly Demon Palace and leave not a single Devil Head alive!"
Ye Fan and the others had been waiting for a long time. Nearly a thousand Disciples from the Nine Sects charged straight toward the Ruins of the Heavenly Demon Palace.
"Damn it! Stop them from getting close!"
Li Minghe, the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, roared as blood Qi flooded from his body like a tide, attempting to drown the many Disciples of the Nine Sects.
But as the river of blood Qi reached the halfway point, a sword light capable of cleaving heaven and earth slashed down, severing the river of blood with a single strike!
"Who dares block me!"
Li Minghe originally thought it was Dao Xuan or Lu Changkong of the Qingtian Sword Sect, but to his surprise, the person appearing before him was a peerlessly beautiful female immortal.
"Fairy Xuanji?!"
Li Minghe was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected that a junior from a hundred years ago would now have surpassed her predecessors, earning the prestigious name of Fairy Xuanji and once striking terror into the demonic Sects.
"I am here; you shall not pass," Su Ningxue said indifferently.
Li Minghe's expression turned incredibly grim upon hearing this. He transformed his body into a river of blood that filled the sky and earth, engaging in a fierce struggle with Su Ningxue.
The other Core Formation Realm Experts of the Nine Great Sects also found their respective opponents and began their slaughter.
Due to their superior numbers, they quickly gained the upper hand, steadily suppressing the experts of the Five Demonic Sects.
Ye Fan glanced at the fiercely fighting Su Ningxue in the sky before charging into the spatial channel with the Nine Sect Disciples, but the scene before them was beyond everyone's expectations.
Because of the space-time distortion, the channel that looked to be only a few hundred meters from the outside was actually several kilometers long on the inside.
Many Nine Sect Disciples had already engaged the people of the Five Demonic Sects, and the scene was chaotic beyond imagination.
Murong Wan was also stunned by the sight. Even though she was mentally prepared, she was still momentarily dazed.
A Disciple of the Five Demonic Sects suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind, aiming directly for Murong Wan's heart.
But in the next second, a flash of fire passed, and a head the size of a bushel rolled to the ground.
As strong as he was with a third-level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, he was still defenseless against Ye Fan's red lotus sword.
"Wan'er, you can't be distracted here."
Murong Wan nodded and looked at the slain Disciple of the Five Demonic Sects; his attire seemed to be that of the Corpse Refining Hall.
"A third-level Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation would be considered a pillar of strength in a Sect outside, but here, they are nothing more than cannon fodder."
Murong Wan composed herself and joined the battlefield with Ye Fan.
Originally, the battle within the spatial channel seemed somewhat evenly matched, but no one expected that the situation would be changed by the two of them.
Ye Fan and Murong Wan were of one mind, and the combination of the red lotus sword and Profound Frost Sword was perfectly seamless.
Wherever the wondrous sight of the 'Double Heavens of Ice and Fire' passed, not a single Disciple of the Five Demonic Sects could withstand it for even a moment.
The two of them slaughtered in all directions, greatly boosting the morale of the Nine Sect Disciples, and the scales of victory began to tilt because of them.
Initially, the Five Demonic Sects' Disciples could barely hold on by relying on their numerical advantage, but as more and more Nine Sect Disciples charged into the spatial channel, that advantage vanished in an instant.
The red lotus sword flew up and down like an angry fire dragon tearing through the battlefield; few Cultivators of the same rank could withstand even a few moves.
While fighting, Ye Fan directed the Joyous Union Sect Disciples to gather, and they soon formed the first Battle Array amidst the chaos.
"Kill!"
Dozens of Joyous Union Sect Disciples formed a Battle Array, harvesting lives like a bloodthirsty meat grinder.
If this momentum continued, it wouldn't be long before the Disciples of the Five Demonic Sects were completely wiped out.
Although Li Minghe and the others knew the situation in the spatial channel was dire, they were currently locked in a bitter struggle and were unable to pull away to provide rescue.
If they couldn't think of a way to turn the tide, their Disciples would likely be slaughtered to the last man.
"Amitabha. Li Minghe, you have lost this round."
Sorrowless joined the fray after dealing with two opponents, teaming up with Su Ningxue to besiege Li Minghe.
The Buddhist Divine Abilities of the Heavenly Thunder Temple already had a natural restraining effect on the techniques of the Blood Demon Sect. With two great experts targeting him, Li Minghe was soon firmly suppressed.
"Old baldy, it's too early to talk about victory or defeat. Don't think you've won for sure!"
Li Minghe had a twisted expression on his face, and a crazed idea soon surfaced in his mind.
The Five Demonic Sects had been dormant for many years and could only develop in the shadows; their raw strength was much weaker than the Nine Great Sects.
But as the saying goes, those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear. I already have nothing, so why should I fear you?
Conversely, the Nine Great Sects had vast assets and were sometimes inevitably constrained.
Thinking of this, Li Minghe decided to risk it all. His blood Qi lunged toward Su Ningxue and Sorrowless like a sea, and while the two were busy defending, he suddenly charged toward the spatial channel.
He used some unknown secret technique, and his speed was far beyond imagination; others simply couldn't stop him in time.
"Hehe, if I can take your Nine Sect Disciples down with me, then my Five Demonic Sects' people won't have died in vain!"
Li Minghe struck out violently, destroying the spatial channel, and over a thousand Disciples from both the Righteous and Demonic Factions were instantly swallowed by the turbulent flow!
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone. Even the people from the other Four Demonic Sects were shocked, and once they regained their senses, they glared at him in fury.
"Li Minghe, have you lost your mind?! Why did you destroy the spatial channel!" the Master of the Yellow Springs, Yan Jiuquan, couldn't help but roar in anger.
