335: The Demonic Sect is attacking; a crisis is looming.
On several nearby floating islands, nearly a hundred Jade Slips emitting a faint, eerie glow suddenly appeared.
Immediately after, these Jade Slips arranged themselves in a profound manner, connecting to outline strange spiritual runes.
In the next moment, a large amount of black spiritual light was released directly from the Jade Slips, forming a profound grand Formation that instantly enveloped the floating island where the competition was being held, as thick Evil Qi poured out from all sides of the Formation.
Cracks appeared inch by inch across the sky of the Dao Yi Realm, and it began to shatter continuously.
The sudden change instantly stunned the many Cultivators on the floating island.
Elder Zhou of the Dao Yi Holy Land also had a solemn expression:
"What kind of Formation is this?
How can it be so strong?
To think that so many of our Elders failed to notice the Formation these demon cultivators had set up!"
When he first learned that demon cultivators had infiltrated the Dao Yi Holy Land, he had planned to capture them, but he was worried about alerting the enemy. Thus, he only had people keep an eye on them to see if they could catch the mastermind before dealing with them.
But what he hadn't expected was that these demon cultivators had secretly set up such a powerful Formation.
And yet, so many Cultivators from their Dao Yi Holy Land had noticed nothing at all.
But it was too late for regrets now. Fortunately, they had learned of the Demon Sect's attack from Elder Liu of the Taixuan Holy Land and had already made preparations; all the Elders of the Dao Yi Holy Land were already on standby near the floating island.
"Everyone, please remain calm. demon cultivators are attacking our Dao Yi Holy Land, but we have long been prepared!"
Elder Zhou looked at the somewhat panicked crowd, flew into the air in a flash, and spoke loudly.
The Cultivators present felt slightly reassured, but they were still somewhat panicked.
One must know that demon cultivators had not openly attacked a major power of the Righteous Path for a long time, having always remained in the Eastern Region.
Yet now, they were actually attacking the Dao Yi Holy Land directly. One must realize that there were currently many Elders from other Holy Lands and a large number of Cultivators from Cultivation Families within the Dao Yi Holy Land.
Unless they were certain of success, they wouldn't have attacked the Dao Yi Holy Land so directly.
At this moment, in the Void Realm near the floating island, over a dozen Elders of the Dao Yi Holy Land suddenly appeared and took action one after another.
In an instant, the world lost its color, and the entire Dao Yi Realm trembled. Various spiritual lights of Laws instantly attacked the Formation enveloping the floating island, quickly breaking it and simultaneously destroying the Jade Slips the demon cultivators had set up.
Subsequently, hundreds of Dao Yi Deacons also surrounded those demon cultivators hiding in the spectator stands:
"Surrender now!
demon cultivators!"
"You have been surrounded!
Your Demon Sect's plan has also failed!"
The middle-aged Cultivator in gray leading the demon cultivators saw that he and his subordinates had been exposed, but he didn't panic at all; instead, he smiled triumphantly:
"So we've been exposed?
It seems your Dao Yi Holy Land has an expert among you!
But who said our plan has failed?"
"Jie jie jie, on the contrary, the plan has only just begun. You thought this Formation was the one to attack the Dao Yi Holy Land?
How could that be? This is merely a positioning formation!"
"You've realized it too late!"
"Sect Master, my mission is complete!"
He roared to the heavens, and his body's surface suddenly emitted a dazzling spiritual light.
Simultaneously, a massive amount of spiritual energy surged from the bodies of the dozens of demon cultivators around him.
"Not good, stop them quickly!
They're going to self-detonate!"
"Damnable demon cultivators!"
At this moment, one of the Dao Yi Elders acted, releasing thousands of white spiritual lights that directly enveloped the group of demon cultivators.
The demon cultivators were instantly unable to use the spiritual energy within their bodies and were directly struck by the white spiritual light.
After a booming explosion, the group of demon cultivators was directly blasted into ashes.
"Activate the World Protecting Grand Array!"
Elder Zhou's face was solemn after hearing what the demon cultivator had just said.
With a wave of his hand, countless white spiritual lights surged wildly within the entire Dao Yi Realm. A Spiritual Energy Barrier emitting a staggering aura appeared in the sky, enveloping the periphery of the Dao Yi Realm and directly repairing the cracks in the sky.
Furthermore, a Spiritual Energy Barrier appeared on every single floating island in the Dao Yi Realm.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the sky that had returned to its complete state began to vibrate again.
The figures of a large number of demon cultivators could be vaguely seen outside the Dao Yi Realm. The leading few demon cultivators emitted a heart-palpitating pressure; they simply waved their hands, and various spiritual lights of Laws were released, directly striking the World Protecting Grand Array.
The World Protecting Grand Array instantly shook, and many cracks appeared in the sky once more.
"Two Mahayana Realm demon cultivators? Are the people of the Demon Sect insane?
And so many demon cultivators at the Undergoing Tribulation and Enlightenment Realms, as well as a large number at the Body Integration and Soul Emergence Realms.
Is this the demon cultivators of dozens of Demon Sects attacking our Dao Yi Holy Land together?"
Elder Zhou's expression changed drastically.
Ever since he learned that demon cultivators were attacking the Dao Yi Holy Land...
He had thought that only the Heavenly Demon Sect was attacking their Dao Yi Holy Land.
After all, there had always been a competitive relationship between Demon Sects; they had never cooperated before.
But what was going on now?
How did the Heavenly Demon Sect manage to get all the Demon Sects in the entire Eastern Region to join forces and attack their Dao Yi Holy Land?
The Elders from other Holy Lands also looked grim.
"Now is the moment of life and death for the Dao Yi Holy Land. Please, Grand Elders, come forth!"
Elder Zhou hurriedly took out a jade talisman and crushed it directly, awakening the two Grand Elders of the Dao Yi Holy Land who were in secluded cultivation.
"Quickly, let us maintain the World Protecting Grand Array together! Do not let the demon cultivators break in; we must buy time!"
With Elder Zhou leading, the Dao Yi Elders began to maintain the World Protecting Grand Array one after another. Elders from other Holy Lands and powerhouses from Cultivation Families also stepped forward to help.
After a few breaths, the Spiritual Energy Barrier at the periphery of the Dao Yi Realm shattered.
The demon cultivators charged directly into the Dao Yi Realm.
"Not good! We can't hold them back!"
The Dao Yi Elders panicked.
Just then, two white-robed old men with immortal-like demeanors appeared in the sky of the Dao Yi Realm, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
"The Grand Elders have emerged from seclusion! We're saved!"
A crowd of Dao Yi cultivators cried out in joy.
Subsequently, the two Dao Yi Grand Elders directly intercepted the two Mahayana Realm demon cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect.
The aftershocks of the spiritual energy from the clash between the four Mahayana Realm Cultivators directly caused the surrounding space to shatter, and the entire Dao Yi Realm began to shake continuously.
The Dao Yi Elders, along with Elders from other Holy Lands and powerhouses from Cultivation Families, intercepted those demon cultivators at the Undergoing Tribulation and Enlightenment Realms. Various Law Domains clashed continuously in the sky of the Dao Yi Realm.
Meanwhile, inside the floating island where the competition was being held...
Because the Spiritual Energy Barrier generated by the World Protecting Grand Array blocked the aftershocks of the great battle in the sky of the Dao Yi Realm, the Cultivators inside the floating island were temporarily safe and sound.
However, an atmosphere of panic still gradually began to spread.
"Su Yun, so many Demon Sects are attacking the Dao Yi Holy Land. What should we do now?"
Chu Ningyue's face was pale as she felt the powerful fluctuations of spiritual energy in the sky.
"All of you, enter the Heavenly Flame Palace!
It's safer inside the Heavenly Flame Palace!"
With a thought from Su Yun, An Yuyao and the three other women all entered the Heavenly Flame Palace.
A few breaths later, a violent explosion suddenly occurred dozens of miles away.
"This... how is this possible?"
A Dao Yi Disciple looked into the distance and suddenly cried out in shock.
