129: Chapter 129 Lingxi

As the morning bell of Heishi City faded, a star skiff communication pierced the horizon.

Bai Yunzhou took the communication Jade Slip, and the request for help from Lingxi Realm clearly manifested.

"The Blood Fiend Realm has invaded, the Spiritual Veins are destroyed, and all living beings are in mortal danger!"

Hearing the news, Ling Shuang rushed over with a grave expression: "The Blood Fiend Realm Cultivates with essence blood; they are extremely cruel."

"We must reinforce them immediately, or Lingxi Realm will be reduced to a sea of blood." Zhou Zhiting tightly grasped her battle blood spear.

Bai Yunzhou nodded: "We will divide our forces in two: one to rescue, and one to stay behind on guard."

"Zhou Zhiting and I will lead elites to reinforce them, while Ling Shuang stays to guard Myriad Realms."

Half an hour later, ten thousand members of the Guardian Coalition had assembled and boarded the star skiff.

The star skiff transformed into a stream of light, speeding toward Lingxi Realm across the vast and boundless sea of stars.

Along the way, scattered scouts from the Blood Fiend Realm could be seen, but the coalition quietly bypassed them to avoid alerting the enemy.

Three days later, the outline of Lingxi Realm appeared in sight, its Spiritual Qi dim and faded.

A Realm once abundant in Spiritual Veins was now shrouded in blood-red mist.

As the star skiff landed, the Realm Master of Lingxi Realm was already waiting with the remaining Cultivators.

"Guardian Elder, Alliance Master, save us!" The Realm Master cried tears of blood, his voice hoarse.

"The Cultivators of the Blood Fiend Realm are slaughtering the people and extracting essence blood to Cultivate. It is horrific beyond belief."

Bai Yunzhou surveyed the area with him; villages along the way were completely destroyed, bones littered the ground, a shocking sight.

"The main force of the Blood Fiend Realm is at Lingxi Hall, currently extracting essence blood from the core Spiritual Vein." The Realm Master pointed into the distance.

The coalition acted immediately, speeding toward Lingxi Hall, radiating chilling Killing Intent.

Outside Lingxi Hall, Blood Fiend Realm Cultivators were setting up the "Blood Soul Array", with blood-red runes flashing.

Hundreds of commoners were tied to the array nodes, about to become sacrifices of essence blood.

"Stop!" Zhou Zhiting shouted angrily, thrusting her battle blood spear directly at the Cultivators inside the array.

Caught unprepared, the Blood Fiend Realm Cultivators were pierced by spear force and fell to the ground screaming.

"Where did these ants come from, daring to ruin the great affairs of my Blood Fiend Realm!" a Blood Fiend general roared.

Blood light surged around him as the Aura of the Body Integration Stage pressed forward, bursting with murderous intent.

"The Guardian Coalition is here! You who slaughter living beings shall surely be executed today!" Bai Yunzhou responded coldly.

The Chaos Domain expanded, and under the suppression of Laws, the Blood Fiend general's Aura plummeted.

The coalition soldiers struck out together, the Sword Qi of their star spirit guardian swords interweaving into a net.

Although the Blood Fiend Realm Cultivators were fierce, they were no match for the coalition's elites and retreated step by step.

"Blood Soul Array, activate!" The Blood Fiend general roared frantically, igniting the essence blood of the commoners at the array nodes.

Blood-red energy surged, and countless blood souls crawled out from the array, pouncing at the coalition.

"Star Spirit Purification!" Bai Yunzhou operated the Chaos Star Spirit Art, scattering cyan-purple light.

The moment the blood souls encountered the purifying light, they instantly dissipated, and the commoners at the array nodes were saved.

Seeing this, the Blood Fiend general's eyes nearly split open with rage; he burned his essence blood to boost his combat power.

"Blood Fiend Slash!" A blood-red saber force slashed directly at Bai Yunzhou with terrifying power.

"Chaos Star Spirit Block!" A cyan-purple defensive shield emerged, blocking the saber force.

The saber force collided with the defensive shield, sending shockwaves of energy scattering in all directions and forcing back nearby Cultivators.

Bai Yunzhou seized the opportunity, his body transforming into a cyan rainbow as he charged straight at the Blood Fiend general.

"Chaos Sword Qi, Break!" A condensed ray of Sword Qi pierced through his defense.

The Blood Fiend general screamed miserably as his body was torn apart by the Sword Qi, dying on the spot.

Seeing their general dead, the remaining Blood Fiend Realm Cultivators suffered a severe hit to morale and fled in all directions.

"Pursue them! Leave no future troubles!" Zhou Zhiting led the coalition to give chase.

The blood-red mist in Lingxi Realm gradually dispersed, and Spiritual Qi began to slowly recover.

Bai Yunzhou left a portion of the coalition behind to treat the wounded and clear the battlefield.

He and the Realm Master went to the core of Lingxi Hall to inspect the damage to the Spiritual Vein.

Most of the essence blood of the core Spiritual Vein had been extracted, making it dim and on the verge of exhaustion.

"It requires the nourishment of the Power of Chaos and Star Spirit power to recover," Bai Yunzhou said.

He activated his Chaos Green Lotus Body, continuously injecting the Power of Chaos into the Spiritual Vein.

Disciples of the Star Spirit Guardian Academy joined in as well, interweaving starlight vein energy to nourish the Spiritual Vein.

The light of the Spiritual Vein gradually recovered, Spiritual Qi began to circulate, and vitality reappeared.

The Realm Master wept with gratitude: "Thank you, Elder, for your recreating grace! Lingxi Realm will never forget this."

"Members of the Alliance should support one another; no extra words are needed," Bai Yunzhou replied.

The pursuing coalition sent back victory reports; all the fleeing Blood Fiend Cultivators had been annihilated.

However, Zhou Zhiting brought back bad news: "The main force of the Blood Fiend Realm has not arrived yet; this was merely an advance party."

"The Realm Master of the Blood Fiend Realm is leading a vast army here and will arrive in three days."

Bai Yunzhou's face turned grave: "The Blood Fiend Realm Master's strength has reached the Void Refining Middle Stage; he cannot be understated."

"We must immediately reinforce the defenses of Lingxi Realm and send a communication to Ling Shuang requesting reinforcements."

The Cultivators of Lingxi Realm acted alongside the coalition, setting up a grand defensive array.

star spirit light-gathering mirrors, snare arrays, and purification arrays were layered together, making it rock-solid.

Meanwhile, Bai Yunzhou entered secluded Cultivation in Lingxi Hall, attempting a Breakthrough to the Void Refining Middle Stage to face the powerful enemy.

Though Lingxi Realm's Spiritual Vein was damaged, it still had pure power available for absorption.

His Chaos Green Lotus Body operated at full power, interweaving the Power of Chaos and Star Spirit power within his body.

The Realm barrier loosened slightly, his strength steadily increasing as he stepped toward a higher level.

Three days later, a blood-red torrent appeared at the edge of the sea of stars as the Blood Fiend Realm army arrived.

The Blood Fiend Realm Master stood at the forefront of the army, surrounded by sky-soaring blood light, possessing an appalling Aura.

"A tiny Lingxi Realm dares to resist stubbornness? Today, we shall wash this place in blood!"

At the Blood Fiend Realm Master's command, a million-strong Blood Fiend army launched a fierce assault, blood-red energy blotting out the sky and sun.

"Activate the grand defensive array!" Zhou Zhiting shouted her command, and the light from the star spirit light-gathering mirrors surged dramatically.

The purifying light shot directly at the Blood Fiend army; many Blood Fiend Cultivators were purified, dying and perishing.

The snare array was activated at the same time, trapping the front ranks of the Blood Fiend army, allowing the coalition to seize the opportunity to attack.

After half a day of fierce battle, although the Blood Fiend army suffered heavy casualties, they still did not back down.

Seeing this, the Blood Fiend Realm Master stepped in personally, slamming a massive blood-red hand toward the grand defensive array.

The grand array shook violently, countless cracks spreading across it, nearly collapsing.

"Elder, we need you to emerge from seclusion to take charge!" Zhou Zhiting shouted loudly.

In seclusion, Bai Yunzhou abruptly opened his eyes, the Aura of his Realm Breakthrough sweeping across Lingxi Realm.

"Void Refining Middle Stage, achieved!"

His body transformed into a cyan rainbow, appearing in front of the array with his chaos star spirit sword pointing straight at the Blood Fiend Realm Master.

"Blood Fiend Realm Master, you slaughter living beings! Today is the day of your death!"

The Blood Fiend Realm Master showed shock and terror: "In just three days, you actually broke through to the Void Refining Middle Stage?!"

"To protect Myriad Realms, no difficulty can stop me!"

Bai Yunzhou operated the Chaos Star Spirit Art, condensing cyan-purple sword force that stabbed directly at the Blood Fiend Realm Master.

Not daring to be careless, the Blood Fiend Realm Master condensed blood light into a shield to block the sword force.

The sword force collided with the blood shield; after a deafening boom, the blood shield shattered, and the sword force continued forward with undiminished momentum.

Struck by the sword force, the Blood Fiend Realm Master retreated several steps, blood leaking from the corners of his mouth.

"Your strength indeed exceeds my expectations." Ferocity flashed in the Blood Fiend Realm Master's eyes.

"However, the power of the Blood Fiend Realm is far beyond what you can imagine!"

He burned the core essence blood of the Blood Fiend Realm, his strength skyrocketing as he drew close to the Void Refining Late Stage.

"Blood Fiend World-Destroying Seal!" A blood-red seal condensed, smashing directly down on Bai Yunzhou with an Aura of destruction.

Bai Yunzhou activated his Chaos Domain to resist with all his might, yet he was still knocked back.

Blood spilled from the corners of his mouth, his internal Qi and blood churned, and his Chaos Green Lotus Body was damaged.

"Elder!" Zhou Zhiting led the coalition elites, attacking the Blood Fiend Realm Master's flank.

Distracted, the Blood Fiend Realm Master turned to block, allowing Bai Yunzhou to seize the opportunity to recover and launch an attack once again.

"Chaos Star Spirit: Myriad Techniques Return to One!" A ten-thousand-zhang qinglian sword force stabbed directly between the Blood Fiend Realm Master's eyebrows.

The Blood Fiend Realm Master tried hastily to block, but his defense was pierced by the sword force, severely damaging his core.

"No—!" The Blood Fiend Realm Master uttered a miserable screech as his huge body slowly collapsed.

Seeing their Realm Master dead, the morale of the Blood Fiend army completely collapsed, and they fled in all directions.

"Pursue and annihilate the remaining enemies! Purify the blood fiend power!" Bai Yunzhou commanded loudly.

The soldiers of the coalition were greatly inspired, launching an all-out pursuit without giving the remaining enemies a moment to breathe.

The blood-red mist of Lingxi Realm gradually faded, sunlight spilled down once again, and vitality returned.

After the intense battle ended, Lingxi Realm was left in ruins, but it had finally welcomed peace.

Over half of the coalition suffered casualties, and many soldiers remained forever on this land.

Looking at the fallen soldiers, Bai Yunzhou's eyes were filled with sorrow, yet also carried firm resolve.

"The names of these heroes shall be forever carved in the Hall of Heroes, receiving the incense of Myriad Realms."

Leading the remaining commoners, the Lingxi Realm Master bowed deeply to the coalition: "Thank you for saving our lives, Coalition!"

"Although the Blood Fiend Realm has retreated, its remaining forces are still roaming the sea of stars," Bai Yunzhou said.

"We must thoroughly purge them to prevent a comeback that could endanger other Realms."

Zhou Zhiting suggested: "We can form a Star Sea Sweeping Squad to hunt down the Blood Fiend remnants."

Bai Yunzhou nodded: "I will lead the squad to stay behind and sweep, while you bring the wounded back to Myriad Realms."

"Send a message to Ling Shuang asking her to dispatch reinforcements to assist in rebuilding Lingxi Realm."

Once arrangements were made, Zhou Zhiting returned to Myriad Realms with the wounded and part of the coalition.

Meanwhile, Bai Yunzhou assembled the sweeping squad and began patrolling Lingxi Realm and surrounding Star Domains.

The Blood Fiend remnants hid in corners of the sea of stars, constantly harassing weaker forces.

The sweeping squad pursued them all the way, slaying countless Blood Fiend remnants and purifying blood fiend power.

Passing through several small Realms infested by Blood Fiends, they came to their aid every time, restoring order.

Reconstruction work in Lingxi Realm also proceeded in an orderly manner with the assistance of reinforcements.

The damaged Spiritual Veins gradually recovered, and the commoners rebuilt their homes, living and working in peace and contentment.

The operations of the sweeping squad lasted for several months until the Blood Fiend remnants across the sea of stars were completely purged.

Bai Yunzhou brought the squad back to Lingxi Realm and felt deeply gratified to see that the Realm had regained its vitality.

"Lingxi Realm is out of danger now. It is time for us to return to Myriad Realms as well."

The Realm Master of Lingxi Realm expressed his gratitude once more and offered a vast amount of Spiritual Vein resources in return.

Bai Yunzhou politely declined: "The Alliance's rescue efforts are not for reward, but to safeguard peace."

He led the sweeping squad onto the star skiff and sped toward Myriad Realms.

While the star skiff was sailing, the communication talisman vibrated, bringing a message from Ling Shuang.

"All is well in Myriad Realms, and the newly joined Realms have also stabilized."

"Your reinforcement of Lingxi Realm this time has spread the fame of our Alliance, shaking the entire sea of stars."

Bai Yunzhou smiled slightly, the weight in his heart finally dropping to the ground.

When the star skiff arrived at Heishi City, commoners lined the streets to welcome them, their cheers shaking the heavens.

Ling Shuang and the coalition soldiers who stayed behind were already waiting, their eyes filled with joy.

"Welcome back triumphant, Elder! The Blood Fiend Realm has been destroyed, and Myriad Realms no longer suffers this threat."

Bai Yunzhou nodded: "Although the Blood Fiend Realm is destroyed, there are still unknown dangers in the sea of stars."

"We must continue to increase our strength, consolidate the Alliance, and protect the peace of Myriad Realms."

A celebration ceremony was held afterward to commend those who made distinguished contributions in reinforcing Lingxi Realm.

Inside the Hall of Heroes, the names of thousands of newly sacrificed soldiers shone brightly.

"This victory could not have been achieved without the sacrifice and perseverance of every single soldier," Ling Shuang said.

Bai Yunzhou added: "The sea of stars is vast, and the road to protecting the Dao is long and arduous."

"We must unite all forces that can be united to resist external enemies together."

After the grand ceremony concluded, Bai Yunzhou went to the Green Lotus Secret Realm to enter secluded Cultivation and consolidate his Realm.

Although his strength at the Void Refining Middle Stage had stabilized, there was still room for improvement.

Sensing and reflecting on his experiences from this battle, his Chaos Star Spirit Art became increasingly perfected.

The development of Myriad Realms also got on the right track; Spiritual Veins flourished, and living beings lived in peace and comfort.

The influence of the Guardian Alliance continued to expand, becoming the core of justice within the sea of stars.

More and more Realms actively joined the Alliance, seeking peace and protection.
