Capítulo 832: Chapter 723: Sorrow, Spice, and Grinding Pain (Supersized Chapter)
Inside the city,
Initially, it was the hidden machinations of the Seven Lustrous Federation that stirred up chaos, followed by certain Alien Races who saw an opportunity for gain, seizing the chance to loot shops and steal valuable items.
Among them were some humans, too numerous, the city too chaotic for the Law Enforcement Team to cover every place.
What gave him some comfort was that Tao City provided this place of protection for the Human Race, enabling them to stand tall, and not all humans were ungrateful; many strong humans voluntarily maintained order, suppressing the rioters.
The surging golden King’s Domain enveloped the entire Tao City, as if all buildings were shrouded in a layer of golden light.
The Law Enforcement warriors and those strong humans assisting in suppressing the rioters felt their bodies warm and filled with endless power.
On the contrary,
The rioters turned pale and fell to their knees, some simply fainted, only Stepping Void Realm rioters could barely support themselves, but their movements were sluggish as snails, as if being crushed by mountains weighing billions of tons.
Among the Unity Realm rioters, apart from those suppressed by the Law Enforcement Team and taken away by the Cloud Dragon, the rest when sensing danger fled at once; some used large crowds as hostages — after all, the high-level officials of the Tao Sect had obvious weaknesses; and some, not causing much commotion, simply re-disguised themselves, pretending to be innocent passersby.
Tang Yu could not distinguish them all — there were just too many red spots inside the city, if he dragged them all out he feared he would get ‘red eye’, seeing everything as red.
So the Grandmaster Tang reached out his hand and grasped into the void.
Ping pang—
As if the sound of shattering glass, the most conspicuous red spots within the city — mostly Unity Realm and a small part of the Divine Domain Realm — the surrounding spaces shattered, their bodies like broken mirrors, shattered with a boom, their fragmented flesh swept into chaotic space currents, the Annihilation Wind blowing, even the meat chunks with lingering Origin were reduced to powder.
Several strong individuals observing secretly gasped in shock.
Only those few Divine Domain Realm figures, upon the space shattering, broke free from the influence of Space Power, leaping abruptly into the sky.
But they were exposed as well.
“War Madman” Niu Tu, “Dragon Descendant” Kanker, the Treasure Pavilion Master “Myriad Treasure Mage”, the “Bone King” from Wailing Rift Valley!
The strong observers who hadn’t yet caught their breath, almost couldn’t breathe again.
These Divine Domain Realm figures forced into the open, were notorious figures within the Divine Domain Realm!
Some were lone wanderers, others leaders of powers, but without exception, they were among the most elite cluster of strong individuals on the continent, even surpassing the Great Cabinet Elder of the Red Lustrous Clan by one or two levels!
“Tao Sect is in danger, who would have thought the Seven Lustrous Federation would recruit so many top-level strong individuals.”
“Not necessarily, Tao Sect surely wouldn’t be unprepared; however, as we are merely in the Unity Realm, it might be wise to flee first, wait till the great battle erupts — the Human strong individuals surely won’t be able to attend to this city, it’s a bit of a pity.”
Niu Tu and the others, forced into appearance by the space shattering, were somewhat surprised.
This wasn’t part of their plan, but Niu Tu didn’t hesitate, stepping forward with a powerful punch.
Nancy swung her sword.
Boom!!
“Dragon Descendant” Kanker and other strong individuals also charged over, within the city another six Divine Domain Realm figures tore off their disguises, surged into the sky, surrounding several elders of the Tao Sect.
The terrifying shockwaves spread layer by layer, countless people on the ground below showing looks of terror.
Eileen wielded an icy blue Magic Wand, tapping lightly.
In an instant,
The sky presented a phantom of a snow-covered permafrost.
The phantom covered Tao City, as the aftermath of the battle swept by, the icy surface on the phantom, the mountains were obliterated with loud rumbles, leaving the world in disarray.
Yet beneath the frost phantom, Tao City remained intact.
“It’s…a Holy Artifact!”
The sharp-eyed Great Cabinet Elder of the Red Lustrous Clan immediately recognized it.
The translucent icy blue Magic Wand emitted the majestic power unique to a Holy Artifact, and it was a complete one!
His eyes turned red with envy.
The entire Seven Lustrous Federation only had three Incomplete Holy Artifacts — which was already ahead among top forces.
‘Luckily for us, the Tao Sect used most of the Holy Artifact’s power in defense to protect the city, how foolish.’
Dao City is now divided into several battlefields.
Grey Blade, Shay, faced two Divine Domain Realm figures from the Red Lustrous Clan, and one from the Orange Lustrous Clan.
The White Feather Clan were held by two Divine Domain Realm figures.
And more strong Divine Domain Realm individuals emerged around Tao City, led by top-tier individuals like Niu Tu, surrounding the Tao Sect’s elders.
At the edge of the sky, a massive army appeared.
The army was composed of dozens of Flying Boats, outside the Flying Boats, Stepping Void Realm and Unity Realm arranged in formations flew.
As well as several Divine Domain Realm figures from the Seven Lustrous Federation.
The leader of the Light Lustrous Clan’s Great Cabinet Elder is the strongest person in the Seven Lustrous Federation.
He gazed at the prosperous Tao City from afar with satisfaction, “Eliminating the threatening Tao Sect and acquiring a flourishing city—it’s not bad at all.”
The army is prepared to eradicate any remaining resistance and maintain control.
According to the plan, the Light Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder did not need to take action; he only needed to oversee in case of emergencies.
…
Rumble!!
The sky seemed to crack open, with fine spatial fissures appearing, only to quickly vanish under the world’s self-healing power.
The Seven Lustrous Federation undeniably held the advantage, with Divine Domain Realm fighters often in two-on-one or three-on-one scenarios, supported by Niu Tu, Dragon Descendant Kanker, and Bone King.
Yet, the resilience of Tao Sect surprised the Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder.
He looked at the two human women wielding holy artifacts and great swords covered with forty meters of purple sword light, both comparable to top Divine Domain Realm powerhouses like Niu Tu.
In contrast, the Tao Sect Master seemed rather weak—which suggested that he still had reserves and was wary of our other strategies—after all, a sect master is undoubtedly the strongest.
“If the battle continues at this pace, it might take at least several days and nights to annihilate the Tao Sect’s powerhouses, given they don’t flee.”
That, obviously, is not possible.
In a crisis, human race powerhouses couldn’t possibly care for the city and those like ants, and if they wanted to escape, we could at most intercept one or two Divine Domain Realm powerhouses.
“Fortunately…” The Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder looked at another elder besides the clan leader, his mask showing a gratified expression due to a change in mood, “If not for Red %#￥ providing that kind of water which could annihilate body and soul, no matter how meticulous the plan was, we still couldn’t entirely wipe out Tao Sect.”
Without completely wiping out Tao Sect’s higher-ups, the Seven Lustrous Federation couldn’t easily start a war.
“Now, it’s time to use the ‘Corrosive Divine Water’.
The Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder created an opening, allowing Grey Blade Shay to join the other Tao Sect elders.
He fixed his gaze on the Tao Sect Master, not attacking immediately, just like other Divine Domain Realm powerhouses, raising his hand to unleash magic.
At this moment,
he saw behind the Tao Sect Master, a sudden space fluctuation, and a nearly entirely pitch-black figure appeared, raising a hand to stab.
The Divine Weapon dagger silently pierced through the space.
The Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder only reacted after the dagger pierced through the Tao Sect Master’s figure, realizing it was the “Traceless Killer” Demon Shadow at play.
However, the pierced figure twisted and disappeared—it was merely a shadow.
The Tao Sect Master’s figure appeared a hundred meters away, evidently possessing some kind of spatial ability.
“It’s now!”
The Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder’s eyes sparkled, a bottle made of special material appeared in his tentacle-like hand.
He opened the bottle,
a jet of black water shot out like a beam towards the Tao Sect Master.
There was no special energy fluctuation.
It came at a moment when the enemy could hardly dodge.
The Tao Sect Master countered with a reverse sword against the attacking Demon Shadow, spitting out a crimson flame from his mouth.
The flame rapidly rotated like a vortex, fully enveloping the incoming black water.
In the following moment,
Swish~
There was no sight of an energy collision.
The overwhelmingly powerful flame vortex appeared as though it was doused with the waters of the Endless Sea, suddenly half extinguished.
Only the inconspicuous black water continued flying vigorously, splattering onto the Tao Sect Master.
It worked!
500ml of Corrosive Divine Water!
The Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder watched as the Tao Sect Master’s expression became unpredictable, his aura continuously waning, ultimately leaving his entire being completely annihilated in bewilderment.
“Success!”
His heart settled.
The human girl holding the great sword was full of grief and rage, a purple halo emanating from the sword, “Lord, your 135th avatar has perished, you all shall pay with your lives!!”
The Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder was left in a daze.
Sorrow surged from his heart, beyond his control.
