264: Help! The High Priest's plan!

Above the desolate Baili Mountain Range, Li Shengyuan’s “Domain of Blades, Swords, Gods, and Demons” was unleashed with full power, like an independent world, firmly trapping the three Demon Lords within it.

Thousands of illusory blade and sword projections transformed into a destructive torrent, continuously assailing the defenses of Prince Wei, Second Demon Lord, and the High Priest’s avatar.

Inside the Domain, the world was turned upside down, sword qi, blade qi, demonic energy, and curses violently collided, erupting in deafening roars, and the space was torn with subtle cracks.

The mountain range below was like it had been plowed by a giant, countless peaks collapsed, and the earth sank, resembling a scene of doomsday.

Prince Wei Mu Weiran’s Black Dragon Heavenly King Seal was teetering under the impact of endless star sword qi, its protective black dragon illusion dim and lifeless.

Although Second Demon Lord’s Soul Cleaving Demon Axe was ferociously unparalleled, shattering countless blade qis, it still appeared to be struggling against the overbearing and ceaseless waves of blade intent.

The curse demon net cast by the High Priest’s avatar was constantly eroded by the ancient, majestic will emanating from the two God-Demon illusions at the center of the Domain, making it difficult to approach.

The three Demon Lords were increasingly horrified; Li Shengyuan’s strength far exceeded their expectations, and this Domain Divine Ability was unheard of, capable of suppressing all three of them simultaneously!

If not for their combined efforts, supporting each other, they would have probably perished long ago.

Even so, they were now finding it difficult to sustain.

“We can’t hold back anymore! Exhaust his true essence!” Second Demon Lord roared, his demonic essence burning around him, and the dark red lightning on his Soul Cleaving Demon Axe surged, attempting to forcibly cleave open the Domain.

Prince Wei also gritted his teeth, spitting out a mouthful of vital blood into the Black Dragon Heavenly King Seal, increasing its power; the black dragon roared, trying to stabilize the situation.

The shadows beneath the High Priest’s avatar’s hood rippled, the blood beads at the tip of his bone staff accelerated their creeping, and more subtle and evil incantations began to coalesce.

Li Shengyuan’s expression was calm; maintaining such a powerful Domain against three equally powerful opponents was also a huge drain on him.

Fortunately, he had passed an unprecedented tenfold Heavenly Tribulation and absorbed a considerable amount of God-Demon Origin.

Even when facing three opponents who were top-tier among those of the Second Grade, he could still handle them with ease.

The battle momentarily fell into a dangerous balance, with both sides competing in their reserves and endurance, needing an external force to break it.

This was not bad for Li Shengyuan, as Yue Xiyan, also of the Second Grade, was still on the periphery, ready to strike at any moment.

Moreover, he himself still had divine abilities he hadn't used yet!

Just at this critical moment,

“Buzz!”

At the edge of the battlefield, space rippled without warning. Unlike the fierce and overbearing spatial shifts when Li Shengyuan moved through the void, this spatial fluctuation appeared exceptionally precise and stable, as if its coordinates had been calculated long ago.

The next moment, two figures appeared out of thin air.

One wore a green robe like jade, with an extraordinary aura, surrounded by clear light. It was Luo Qingwan, the Sect Master of the Questioning Dao Sect.

Her beautiful eyes swept across, instantly locking onto Li Shengyuan in the center of the Domain. Sensing the intense battle, a trace of heartache and determination flashed in her indifferent eyes.

The other was a handsome young man with eyes as deep as a sea of stars, and a fat black crow stood on his shoulder. It was Ye Hangzhou!

Their appearance instantly broke the balance of the battlefield!

“Fellow Daoist Luo?! Addressing Ye Xingzhou!”

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Shengyuan’s eyes, then understanding. It must have been the intense battle fluctuations that attracted the two, and Ye Hangzhou’s appearance was an unexpected joy.

Since he had appeared, he must have successfully broken through to the Second Grade!

Ye Hangzhou casually swept his gaze, then began to act!

Almost simultaneously with his appearance, Ye Hangzhou’s eyes narrowed, and his hands were already raised, his ten fingers dancing like butterflies flitting through flowers, leaving trails of afterimages.

Array runes, each emanating profound fluctuations, flowed from his fingertips, instantly merging into the surrounding void.

“Heaven and Earth Borrowing Law, Array Evolution to Infinity!”

“Circumstellar Array * Trap!”

“Nine Nether Profound Fiend * Kill!”

The black crow on his shoulder cried out excitedly, looking quite majestic; one might even mistake it for the one casting the spells!

In an instant, the world changed color!

The originally clear sky suddenly darkened, stars appeared in broad daylight, and countless illusory stars projected brilliant starlight, weaving into an enormous, boundless net of starlight, covering an area of several dozen miles, encompassing the entire battlefield along with Li Shengyuan’s Domain!

As the starlight flowed, space seemed to solidify. The three Demon Lords suddenly felt their bodies sink, as if falling into a quagmire, and even the circulation of their demonic energy became sluggish by several points!

At the same time, beneath the earth, endless Yin Fiend qi was forcibly extracted, transforming into nine ferocious, roaring Profound Fiend Black Dragons, carrying a terrifying aura that could freeze souls and corrode all things. From nine tricky angles, they fiercely charged towards the three Demon Lords within the Domain!

The trapping array and the killing array instantly formed, perfectly connected, without any hindrance!

The speed of their formation and the power they wielded were astonishing!

Moreover, the miraculous effects of the arrays shared a surprising synergy with Li Shengyuan’s Domain of Blades, Swords, Gods, and Demons; the two complemented each other, making their power even greater!

And that wasn't all!

Seeing Ye Hangzhou make his move, Luo Qingwan was not to be outdone.

She deeply understood Li Shengyuan’s pressure, and this was a critical moment to break the deadlock.

She lightly raised her jade hand, pointed her fingers like a sword, and touched her glabella.

“ Ask Nine Chapters · Heavenly Evolution Sword Array, Rise!”

“Zheng——!”

A clear sword cry resounded through the heavens and earth. Behind Luo Qingwan, an ancient longsword automatically unsheathed, its sword light dividing, one into two, two into three, three into infinity!

In a blink of an eye, thousands of incomparably condensed green sword lights filled the sky, moving in profound trajectories, forming a massive sword array that covered the firmament!

Within the sword array, sword qi crisscrossed, evolving earth, water, fire, and wind, as if it could annihilate everything, pouring down with a majestic, inviolable heavenly might towards the trapped three Demon Lords!

Ye Hangzhou’s top-tier arrays and Luo Qingwan’s formidable sword array were activated almost simultaneously, forming a triple-kill situation with Li Shengyuan’s Domain of Blades, Swords, Gods, and Demons!

“What?!”

Second Demon Lord was both shocked and enraged. He had just fully resisted Li Shengyuan’s Domain, his old strength just gone and new strength not yet born, when he was suddenly suppressed by the Circumstellar Array.

Facing the attacks of the Nine Nether Profound Fiend Black Dragons and the sky-filling sword rain, he was instantly flustered. His Soul Cleaving Demon Axe wildly danced, protecting his body, but he was struck on the shoulder by a Profound Fiend Black Dragon, letting out a muffled groan, his demonic body shaking violently.

Prince Wei Mu Weiran’s face also changed drastically. His Black Dragon Heavenly King Seal was restrained by the stellar light net, its power greatly reduced. Facing the pouring Heavenly Evolution Sword Rain, he could only roar, urging his kingly demonic energy to resist, his dragon robe torn by the sharp sword qi, appearing quite disheveled.

He looked at the suddenly appearing Ye Hangzhou and Luo Qingwan in disbelief, his heart filled with shock:

“How is this possible! Why did Li Shengyuan’s reinforcements arrive so quickly?! When did Ye Hangzhou reach the Second Grade, and these arrays… this sword array… who are they?!”

However,

Unlike the shocked and flustered Second Demon Lord and Prince Wei, the High Priest’s avatar, who was at the center of the storm and enduring the greatest pressure, showed no panic in the shadows beneath his hood. Instead… a strange, knowing smile of a successful scheme appeared.

He gently tapped his bone staff, and a thin, blood-colored barrier appeared around him. It seemed to be on the verge of collapsing but stubbornly held up under the triple attack.

His hoarse voice, carrying an unnervingly calm, even a hint of satisfied sigh, whispered imperceptibly amidst the violent energy roar:

“Very good… Finally, everyone is here. The big fish have all been lured out… It wasn’t a waste of my efforts.”

His gaze seemed to penetrate the chaotic battlefield, falling upon Li Shengyuan, Ye Hangzhou, Luo Qingwan, and everyone outside the field…
