Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Declaration of War Against the Four Great Demon Sects! (Fifth Update)
Lu Changsheng then activated the Blazing Extermination Sword, the Mysterious Yellow Tower, the Yin Yang Dragons Cauldron, the True Dragon Godly Fire Cloak, and other lower-grade Immortal Artifacts to surround and intercept the Silent Annihilation Sword.
However, these lower-grade Immortal Artifacts were clearly no match for the Silent Annihilation Sword and were repelled by it.
Lu Changsheng was dripping with sweat.
Having obtained a mid-grade Immortal Sword with great difficulty, he did not expect that his current cultivation level would actually be unable to subdue it.
Not only that, the space within Lu Changsheng\'s body seemed to be on the verge of complete destruction by the Silent Annihilation Sword.
If it were not for the Mysterious Fire Mirror\'s ability to counter the Silent Annihilation Sword and maintain the balance of the inner world within Lu Changsheng, it might have been shattered by the Silent Annihilation Sword already.
Just when the many Immortal Artifacts were helpless against the Silent Annihilation Sword, the floating Demon Race Treasured Fragment in the chaos struck the Silent Annihilation Sword as if provoked.
The moment the Silent Annihilation Sword was hit, it suddenly quieted down.
"Hiss…"
Lu Changsheng witnessed the confrontation between the various treasures within his body from the sidelines and no longer dared to underestimate the seemingly useless Demon Race Treasured Fragment.
In front of this fragment, the Silent Annihilation Sword still submitted.
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Changsheng once again circulated the Taiqing Wuji Technique, injecting purple True Qi into the body of the Silent Annihilation Sword, forcibly erasing its consciousness.
The Silent Annihilation Sword tried to resist, but on an instinctual level, it was deterred by the Demon Race Treasured Fragment and dared not move. It could only watch helplessly as it was erased by Lu Changsheng.
The Silent Annihilation Sword finally became an ownerless object.
Afterward, Lu Changsheng imprinted his own mark and thoroughly refined the Immortal Sword, forming a new spirit within it.
Lu Changsheng felt the unity of person and sword and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Subduing this mid-grade Immortal Sword was truly difficult.
However, the power of Silent Annihilation Sword was immense, slightly superior to regular mid-grade Immortal Artifacts.
"As long as I break through to the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm and add this mid-grade Immortal Sword, even if I encounter the Sect Masters of the four Demon Sects, I will be able to fight them."
Having refined the Silent Annihilation Sword, Lu Changsheng\'s fighting strength soared.
All Lu Changsheng needed was time to cultivate.
Realizing this, the Taiyuan Master allowed Lu Changsheng to stay in Mount Shu during this period to focus on cultivating, without having to participate in combating the four Demon Sects.
In Mount Shu, over a hundred streaks of light departed, and the Taiyuan Master personally led the team, flying towards the Reincarnation Hall stronghold.
En route, Grandmaster Chen, leading hundreds of Martial Alliance powerhouses, joined forces with the Mount Shu team led by the Taiyuan Master.
"Taiyuan, back at Meteor Iron Mountain, I thought you were scared, but it turns out you were intentionally letting the enemy relax. You planned to make your move against the four Demon Sects now. Hahaha, we haven\'t fought side by side in a long time. Since you\'ve taken that step and reached the Unity Realm, the four Demon Sects are in for a tough time this go around!"
Grandmaster Chen laughed heartily.
In his youth, he had fought side by side with the Taiyuan Master facing life and death against the four Demon Sects. Now, once again cooperating, both had become top-tier powerhouses in Xia State.
"The Reincarnation Hall Master is cultivating the Supreme Blood Scripture; we cannot allow him to advance any further."
The Taiyuan Master flew side by side with Grandmaster Chen, controlling their swords. The two major sects\' teams converged, jointly attacking Reincarnation Hall.
At Misty Peak, Fairy Su led a team of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion powerhouses soaring into the sky.
"Our Inquiry Immortal Pavilion\'s task is to hold off the Joyous Union Sect, allowing Mount Shu and Martial Alliance to join forces and destroy Reincarnation Hall, to avenge the Refinement Sect. It\'s time for our six major sects to decide life and death with the four Demon Sects!"
Fairy Su\'s eyes shone with a bright and resolute determination.
The four Demon Sects collaborated to destroy the Refinement Sect, which enraged the remaining five major sects. After ten years of preparation, they formally declared war on the four Demon Sects.
The task of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion was to contain the Joyous Union Sect.
Many Supreme Elders of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion had left their seclusion, boasting formidable combat power!
"Amitabha Buddha, our task at Immeasurable Temple is to contain the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, brothers, be prepared with Detoxification Elixir Pills," said an Immeasurable Temple monk.
Master Wuxiang led a group of Immeasurable Temple powerhouses to attack the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
Streaks of golden Buddha light swept across the sky.
A group of great monks set out, causing phenomena such as \'Celestial Maidens Scatter Flowers\' and the grand sound of Buddhist chants.
Despite these great monks\' kind and compassionate appearance, when they truly took action, they were like Great Majestic Heavenly Dragons, roaring mightily.
Immeasurable Temple was recognized as the sect with combat prowess second only to Mount Shu.
Temple Master Yu Xuanji of Hidden Dragon Temple, as beautiful as a heavenly immortal and wise as Zhuge, led many elders of the Hidden Dragon Temple to the Summoning Demon Palace to contain this branch of the Demon Sects.
Abandoning her usual composure, Yu Xuanji\'s brows furrowed slightly, filled with worry about the operation.
Too many powerful figures were involved this time, and with the Sons of Fortune like Shen Xiaoyao mixed in, Yu Xuanji found it extremely difficult to calculate the heavenly secrets, and she was at risk of backlash.
"Our responsibility at Hidden Dragon Temple is to contain the Summoning Demon Palace. Unless we outnumber them two to one, our Hidden Dragon Temple alone cannot annihilate the Summoning Demon Palace," Yu Xuanji thought to herself.
Yu Xuanji knew that some Supreme Elders of Hidden Dragon Temple stayed to guard their sanctum, bringing only half of their strength, insufficient to destroy the entire Summoning Demon Palace.
The tasks of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, Immeasurable Temple, and Hidden Dragon Temple were all to contain the Demon Sects, preventing them from aiding Reincarnation Hall.
Mount Shu and the Martial Alliance, two major sects, joined forces to annihilate Reincarnation Hall, resolving all their grudges once and for all.
The Sect Leader of Mount Shu and the Leader of Martial Alliance, two great masters, along with the Supreme Elders of their sects, were no weaklings.
At the gates of Joyous Union Sect, a colossal Sword Qi that stretched for a thousand feet slashed down, splitting the entrance and the mountain into two.
The entire Joyous Union Sect was alarmed.
Holy Maiden Liu Yun\'er of the Joyous Union Sect wielded the Hell Bell, rising into the sky.
Her cultivation had reached the first layer of the Void Refinement Realm, yet she was incapable of blocking the incoming members of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion.
Fairy Su, Pavilion Master of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion, was a ninth-layer Void Refinement Realm expert, looking down upon the members of Joyous Union Sect.
"Su Qian, today, I\'m going to capture you alive, make you wish for life in vain and beg for death in despair!" shouted the Sect Master of Joyous Union Sect as he soared into the sky, confronting Fairy Pavilion Master Su Qian.
Joyous Union Sect and Inquiry Immortal Pavilion were archenemies.
In the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, a Golden Buddha appeared, covering the sky and sun; its giant palm descended, shattering the barrier outside the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
"Ah!"
Dozens of disciples from Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons couldn\'t dodge in time and were obliterated by the Buddha\'s palm seal.
"Amitabha Buddha, today I wish to experience the Supreme Poison Skills of the Valley Master of Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons," Master Wuxiang said calmly, looking down at the panicked members of Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons.
The monks of Immeasurable Temple joined their hands and chanted, "Amitabha Buddha, we must slaughter greatly today, truly a sin."
Outside the Summoning Demon Palace, Yu Xuanji and many Supreme Elders of Hidden Dragon Temple occupied various positions, laying down a peerless Great Formation that ensnared the Summoning Demon Palace\'s Mountain Protection Array.
The task of Hidden Dragon Temple was to restrain Summoning Demon Palace, merely preventing their people from coming out would fulfill their mission, there was no need to forcefully attack the Summoning Demon Palace.
Therefore, Yu Xuanji came up with an ingenious strategy, using Hidden Dragon Temple\'s forte in laying formations to trap the gate of Summoning Demon Palace with a Formation.
At Qingyun Peak, while the five major sects and four major Demon Sects were clashing, Lu Changsheng was still cultivating, beginning his breakthrough to the seventh layer of the Void Refinement Realm...
