Chapter 297: The Power of Unity

The disciples of the Saint Sect continued to gather, united like grasshoppers on a single rope, standing together against external enemies.

Disciples from various peaks, such as Jalan Peak and Danding Peak, were temporarily rescued from danger thanks to the efforts of Zhang Erdou and others.

“Fellow junior brothers and sisters, gather together and head outside the grand hall to meet the elders!” Zhang Erdou roared, tossing out countless pills from his storage ring as if they were worthless. Mi Qiongqi was in a frenzy of slaughter, ruthless and fierce, leaving the disciples of Jiuxiao Sect with no chance to fight back.

“Die for me!” At that moment, a Jiuxiao Sect disciple suddenly lunged out, slicing through space with a blade aimed at Mi Qiongqi.

Mi Qiongqi, already bloodthirsty, let out a furious roar. Just as he was about to strike back, a palm descended from the sky, crushing the Jiuxiao disciple into dust.

Mi Qiongqi glanced over and smiled slightly. “My junior brother’s palm technique is impressive.”

Meanwhile, Meng Hao, rumored to be the reincarnation of a War God, smiled calmly, his eyes gleaming with admiration as he looked at Mi Qiongqi. “Senior brother, your overwhelming might is truly formidable.”

In that moment their gazes met, a fierce battle intent flared between them.

Both were destined for great fortune, and in this encounter, their hearts burned with boundless fighting spirit.

“You’re impressive, but your cultivation is still too low. When you catch up to me, we shall fight again,” Mi Qiongqi declared.

“Agreed,” Meng Hao replied without anger. He understood the truth in those words—his current cultivation level was indeed lower, yet his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

Perhaps this was what it meant to be a prodigy clashing with another.

At that moment, more figures arrived from all directions—Jian Wudi, Zong Hentian, Lu Yan, and others.

“This junior brother has been hiding his strength well; he never showed this side before,” Meng Hao remarked, glancing at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan said nothing in return. “Senior brothers, now is not the time to discuss such matters. Our sect is in crisis,” he simply replied, then turned his gaze toward the grand hall, eyes flashing with a flicker of resentment and defiance.

“Alright, now that all senior and junior brothers have arrived, let’s head outside the grand hall to support the elders,” Zhang Erdou declared. The rescue quartet had gained great renown during this battle, saving many junior disciples. For Zhang Erdou, this was a moment of self-fulfillment.

In prosperity or ruin, all share the same fate. Though the Saint and Demon Sect was an independent sect, the Saint Sect remained an inseparable part of it.

“Junior Brother Tian…” At that moment, Zong Hentian saw one of the rescue quartet and couldn’t believe his eyes.

Tianyu nodded slightly at Zong Hentian. “Senior Brother Zong, let’s discuss whatever you have to say after we resolve the crisis facing our sect.”

Seeing his junior brother Tianyu, Zong Hentian had countless words to say, but in the end, he simply nodded. He understood that this was not the time.

“Move out!” Zhang Erdou roared. The entire Saint Sect stood united.

“Drive out the invaders!”

“The Saint Sect is invincible!”

“The Saint Sect is invincible!”

The disciples shouted in unison. This day would be forever etched in their hearts—the first time in thousands of years that the Saint Sect had faced such a catastrophe. Watching their fellow disciples die beside them ignited a fire of fury deep within their hearts.

This was a trial, a trial of the soul.

Looking at his comrades, Zhang Erdou felt an endless surge of motivation. As long as they stood together, no obstacle was insurmountable.

Outside the grand hall, Zhang Erdou and the others arrived to find the sect leader protected by an elder, and they quickly rushed forward.

The Jiuxiao Sect disciples hadn’t yet been completely eliminated. Those already defeated were mostly of lower cultivation. The more powerful ones had already retreated to the mountain gate, waiting for Patriarch Han and others to destroy the Saint Sect’s strongest fighters before launching a final, overwhelming assault to wipe out the sect entirely.

These were ruthless killers, their minds twisted, living only for slaughter. Patriarch Han’s transformation had ignited their excitement.

In their worldview, there was only one word:

Kill, kill, kill…

Those who resisted would die, those who defied would die. Kill all, and attain the Dao through slaughter.

At that moment, thunder crackled across the sky, space shattered, as if the end of the world had arrived.

The laws of heaven and earth were changing, on the verge of collapse.

High above in the void, the elders of the Saint Sect clashed with those of the Jiuxiao Sect. The immense power shook the void, which was already nearing its breaking point.

The battle between two Grand Heaven-level masters might not seem so extraordinary, but when more than a dozen Grand Heaven-level experts fought in the void, the forces of cosmic law they unleashed were enough to destroy the world.

The disciples of the Holy Sect continued to gather, united like locusts on a rope, standing together to resist external enemies. Under the rescue efforts of Zhang Er’gou and others, disciples from peaks such as Jialan Peak and Danding Peak temporarily escaped their predicament.

“Brothers and sisters, let’s stick together and meet up with the elders outside the main hall,” Zhang Er’gou roared, throwing out pills from his storage ring as if they were free, while Mie Qiongqi slaughtered fiercely, his ruthless methods and unparalleled fighting spirit leaving the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect helpless.

“Die!” A Nine Heavens Sect disciple suddenly leaped out, slashing through the void towards Mie Qiongqi. Mie Qiongqi, already bloodthirsty, let out a roar and was about to strike when a palm descended from the sky, crushing the Nine Heavens Sect disciple into dust.

Mie Qiongqi glanced over and smiled, “Junior brother, your palm technique is impressive.”

Meng Hao, rumored to be the reincarnation of the War God, smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Mie Qiongqi, “Senior brother, your strength is formidable.”

In that moment, a fighting spirit burned between them. Both were individuals of great destiny, and their encounter ignited an infinite desire for battle.

“You’re quite good, but your cultivation is too low. When you catch up to me, we’ll fight again,” Mie Qiongqi said.

“Agreed,” Meng Hao replied without anger. He knew his level was not high, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished. This was perhaps the clash between prodigies.

At that moment, more people arrived from all directions: Jian Wudi, Zong Hentian, Lu Yan, and others.

“This junior brother has been hiding quite well, not showing much before,” Meng Hao said, looking at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan didn’t say much, “Senior brothers, in this time of crisis for our sect, this is not the time for such discussions.”

He then glanced at Zhang Er’gou, a hint of resentment and defiance in his eyes, but he said nothing more and turned his gaze towards the main hall.

“Good, all our brothers and sisters are here. Let’s go outside the main hall to support the elders,” Zhang Er’gou shouted. The rescue team had gained fame in this battle, saving many junior brothers. For Zhang Er’gou, this was a manifestation of his own value.

“Rise together, fall together.” Although the Holy Demon Sect was a separate entity, the Holy Sect remained an inseparable part of it.

“Junior brother Tian…” Zong Hentian called out in disbelief upon seeing one of the rescue team members.

Tian Yu nodded slightly, “Senior brother Zong, let’s discuss matters after we resolve the sect’s crisis.”

Zong Hentian had much to say upon seeing Tian Yu, but he ultimately nodded, understanding that now was not the time.

“Let’s go!” Zhang Er’gou roared, and the entire Holy Sect stood united.

“Drive out the invaders!”

“The Holy Sect is invincible!”

“The Holy Sect is invincible!”

The disciples shouted loudly, engraving today’s events in their hearts. This was the first time in thousands of years that the Holy Sect had faced such a situation. Seeing their brothers and sisters fall beside them ignited a fire of rage within them.

This was a trial, a trial of the soul.

Zhang Er’gou looked at everyone, filled with boundless motivation. As long as they stood united, there was no obstacle they couldn’t overcome.

Outside the main hall, Zhang Er’gou and the others arrived at the scene and saw the sect leader being protected by an elder. They hurried forward.

At this moment, the disciples of the Nine Heavens Sect had not been completely wiped out. Those eliminated were the weaker ones, while the more powerful ones had retreated, now standing at the sect’s entrance, waiting for Sect Leader Han and others to destroy the Holy Sect’s strongest forces before they would swarm in and annihilate the Holy Sect completely.

They were vicious individuals, their minds already twisted, living to kill. Sect Leader Han’s transformation excited them.

In their worldview, there was only one word: kill.

Kill the disobedient, kill the resisters, kill everything, and prove their path through slaughter.

At this moment, lightning flashed in the sky, and the void cracked as if the world was ending. The rules of heaven and earth seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

The Holy Sect’s elders and the Nine Heavens Sect’s elders were battling in the void, their immense power shaking the void to the point of near collapse.

The battle between two Great Heaven Realm experts might not be significant, but the battle between over a dozen Great Heaven Realm experts in the void, invoking the power of the rules, was enough to destroy the world.

“So powerful, is this the strength of those who have comprehended the chains of rules?” Mie Qiongqi gazed intently. For a prodigy like him, the chains of rules were no secret. Though he was awed by such a battle, he was not shocked, for he knew he too would reach this level.

But for some disciples, this was something they had never seen before. Since joining the sect, they had never witnessed a battle between Great Heaven Realm experts. This was no longer a battle between humans, but between gods.

In the void, the chains of rules spun endlessly, like dragons diving into the void, then bursting with light in an instant.

“Boom…”

In that instant, the heavens and earth trembled. A flash of light appeared in the void, shattering that part of the world into nothingness, with torrents of energy erupting, as if to sweep everything away and destroy it all.

“Bang…”

A figure fell from the void like a meteor.

“That’s Elder Wuyai!” Zhang Er’gou and the others were horrified.

“Bang…”

Elder Wuyai’s body landed before them, covered in blood, his aura weak, his once ruddy complexion now deathly pale.

“Elder…” Zhang Er’gou rushed forward to support him.

“Sect Leader, Han Yongyi has fallen into evil. He’s too strong,” Elder Wuyai spat blood, his body bearing several wounds, undoubtedly sustained during the battle in the void.

Yan Hongyu frowned deeply, his expression grave. Even Elder Wuyai had been defeated. Just how strong was Han Yongyi?

Elder Wuyai’s cultivation was on par with his own, yet he had been defeated by Han Yongyi. Even if he himself were uninjured, he likely wouldn’t be a match for Han Yongyi either.

At this moment, Han Yongyi’s body floated in the void, indifferent to the surrounding battles, his gaze fixed on the ground below.

His bloodthirsty, ferocious, and terrifying gaze instilled fear in the hearts of the Holy Sect’s disciples.

“Protect the Sect Leader and the elders!” Zong Hentian shouted, fearlessly standing in front of Elder Wuyai and Sect Leader Yan.

“Hahaha…” Han Yongyi laughed maniacally, his eyes glowing with bloodlust, his body shrouded in black energy like a dark dragon roaring in fury.

“Die!” Han Yongyi roared, bringing down a palm strike with infinite power from the sky.

This strike extinguished all life, filling people with despair.

“Hahaha…” Han Yongyi laughed wildly.

“Sect Leader…” The elders battling in the void looked panicked, but with strong enemies restraining them, they couldn’t break away.

At this moment, it seemed to everyone that the outcome was sealed, and there was no way to turn the tide.

But just then, Mie Qiongqi roared, his muscles bulging, his aura soaring to the heavens. He flashed forward and intercepted the palm strike.

“Indestructible and Immortal!” Mie Qiongqi roared, blood spilling from his body. The immense power pressed his internal energy into chaos, but under the enhancement of the “Indestructible and Immortal” technique, Mie Qiongqi held on stubbornly.

“What if it’s the Great Heaven Realm? I, Mie Qiongqi, will slay the heavens today!” Mie Qiongqi’s domineering roar burned with a fierce fighting spirit that reached the horizon.

“We’ll help you!” At this moment, the prodigies of the Holy Sect rose up, fearless of death, charging forward.

But for many junior disciples, this was their first time witnessing such a spectacle. Since joining the sect, they had never seen a battle between Grand Heaven-level experts. This was no longer a battle between mortals—it was a battle between gods.

In the void, chains of cosmic law spun like dragons, diving into the void before erupting in dazzling light.

“Boom—”

In an instant, heaven and earth trembled. A blinding light tore through the void, shattering that entire region into nothingness, unleashing a torrent of destruction that threatened to consume everything.

“Bang—”

A figure, like a falling meteor, plummeted rapidly from the void.

“That’s Elder Wuya!” Zhang Erdou and the others saw it and were immediately filled with alarm.

“Bang—”

Elder Wuya’s body crashed before them, bloodied and weak, his previously rosy complexion now pale.

“Elder…” Zhang Erdou rushed forward and supported him.

“Leader, Han Yongyi has fallen into the path of evil. He’s too strong.” Elder Wuya spat blood, his body bearing several wounds from the battle in the void.

Yan Hongyu furrowed his brows, deeply concerned. If even Elder Wuya, whose cultivation was on par with his own, had been defeated, how powerful must Han Yongyi have become?

Han Yongyi floated in the void, indifferent to the surrounding battles, his gaze fixed downward.

That bloodthirsty, monstrous, terrifying gaze sent a chill through the hearts of the Saint Sect disciples.

“Protect the leader and the elders!” Zong Hentian roared fearlessly, stepping in front of Elder Wuya and Leader Yan.

“Hahaha…” Han Yongyi laughed maniacally, his eyes glowing with blood-red light, his entire body surrounded by black qi like a dark dragon, roaring with menace.

“Die!” At that moment, Han Yongyi roared, unleashing an overwhelming palm strike from the sky.

This palm strike extinguished all life, filling hearts with despair.

“Hahaha…” Han Yongyi laughed wildly.

“Leader…” The elders fighting in the void wore expressions of panic, but with powerful enemies keeping them occupied, they were unable to break free.

At this moment, to everyone’s eyes, the outcome seemed inevitable—there was no way to turn the tide.

But just then, Mi Qiongqi roared furiously, his muscles bulging, his aura surging into the sky. He dashed forward, intercepting the palm strike and holding it back.

“Immortal and indestructible…” Mi Qiongqi roared, his body bleeding profusely, the immense force causing chaos within his inner energy. Yet, empowered by the ‘Immortal and Indestructible’ cultivation technique, he stubbornly held his ground.

The disciples of the Holy Sect continued to gather, like grasshoppers tied to a single rope, united in their resistance against external enemies.

Under the rescue efforts of Zhang Er’gou and others, disciples from peaks such as the Jialan Peak and the Danding Peak temporarily escaped their dire straits.

“Brothers and sisters, let’s stick together and meet up with the elders outside the main hall,” Zhang Er’gou roared, throwing out pills from his storage ring as if they were free, while Mie Qiongqi slaughtered fiercely, his ruthless methods and unparalleled combat spirit leaving the disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect with no chance to fight back.

“Die!” A Jiuxiao Sect disciple suddenly leaped out from the side, slashing through the void towards Mie Qiongqi.

Mie Qiongqi, already bloodthirsty, let out a roar and was about to strike when a palm descended from the sky, crushing the Jiuxiao Sect disciple into dust.

Mie Qiongqi looked up and smiled slightly, “Junior brother, your palm technique is quite good.”

Meng Hao, rumored to be the reincarnation of a war god, smiled faintly, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Mie Qiongqi, “Senior brother, your strength and ferocity are also formidable.”

As their eyes met, a fighting spirit ignited between them.

Both were individuals of great destiny, and at this moment, their hearts burned with infinite combat power.

“You’re quite good, but your cultivation is too low. When you catch up to me, we’ll fight again,” Mie Qiongqi said.

“Alright,” Meng Hao replied without anger, acknowledging the truth in Mie Qiongqi’s words. His realm might not be high, but his fighting spirit remained undiminished.

This was perhaps the battle between prodigies.

At this moment, more people arrived from all directions.

Jian Wudi, Zong Hentian, Lu Yan, and others.

“This junior brother has been hiding quite well, not showing much usually,” Meng Hao said, looking at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan didn’t say much, “Senior brothers, now is not the time to discuss these things, as our sect is in crisis.”

Then Lu Yan looked at Zhang Er’gou, his eyes flickering with a hint of resentment and defiance, but he said nothing more, turning his gaze towards the main hall.

“Good, all our brothers are here. Let’s go outside the main hall to support the grand elders,” Zhang Er’gou said. The rescue team had gained fame in this battle, saving many junior brothers. For Zhang Er’gou, this was a manifestation of his own value.

Shared glory, shared loss. Although the Holy Demon Sect was a separate entity, the Holy Sect remained an inseparable part of it.

“Junior brother Tian…” Zong Hentian called out in disbelief upon seeing one of the rescue team members.

Tian Yu looked at Zong Hentian and nodded slightly, “Senior brother Zong, let’s talk after we resolve the sect’s crisis.”

Zong Hentian had countless words to say upon seeing Tian Yu, but he ultimately nodded, understanding that now was not the time.

“Let’s go!” Zhang Er’gou roared, and the Holy Sect united as one.

“Drive out the invaders!”

“The Holy Sect is invincible!”

“The Holy Sect is invincible!”

The disciples shouted loudly, engraving this day in their hearts. It was the first time in thousands of years that the Holy Sect had faced such a situation. Seeing their brothers fall beside them ignited a fire of anger within them.

This was a trial, a trial of the soul.

Zhang Er’gou looked at everyone, filled with boundless motivation. As long as they were united, there was no obstacle they couldn’t overcome.

Outside the main hall, Zhang Er’gou and the others arrived at the scene, seeing the sect leader protected by an elder, and hurried forward.

At this moment, the disciples of the Jiuxiao Sect had not been completely annihilated. Those who had been killed were the ones with relatively low cultivation. The more powerful ones had retreated and were now standing at the sect’s entrance, waiting for Sect Leader Han and others to destroy the Holy Sect’s strongest forces before rushing in to completely annihilate the Holy Sect.

They were ruthless individuals, their minds already twisted, living to kill. Sect Leader Han’s transformation excited them greatly.

In their worldview, there was only one word.

Kill, kill, kill…

Those who disobeyed, kill; those who resisted, kill; kill everything, prove their way through killing.

At this moment, lightning flashed in the sky, and the void cracked, as if the world was ending.

The rules of heaven and earth changed at this moment, seemingly on the verge of collapse.

The grand elders of the Holy Sect and the elders of the Jiuxiao Sect fought in the void, their immense power shaking the void, which was almost unable to withstand it.

The battle between two Great Heaven Realm experts might not be significant, but the battle of over a dozen Great Heaven Realm experts in the void, stirring the power of the rules, was enough to destroy the world.

“So strong, is this the power of those who have comprehended the chains of rules?” Mie Qiongqi gazed intently. For a prodigy like him, the chains of rules were no secret. Although he was awed by such a battle, he was not shocked, because he knew he would also reach this level.

But for some disciples, they had never seen such a battle before. After joining the sect, they had never witnessed a battle between Great Heaven Realm experts. This was no longer a battle between humans, but a battle between gods.

In the void, the chains of rules continuously rotated, like dragons, plunging into the void and then bursting with light in an instant.

“Boom…”

In an instant, the heavens and earth shook. In the void, a light appeared, shattering that part of the world into nothingness, the surging torrents erupting as if to sweep everything away and destroy all.

“Bang…”

A figure, like a meteor, fell rapidly from the void.

“That’s Grand Elder Wuya,” Zhang Er’gou and the others were greatly alarmed.

“Bang…”

Grand Elder Wuya’s body fell in front of everyone, covered in blood, his breath weak, his once ruddy complexion now pale.

“Grand Elder…” Zhang Er’gou stepped forward, immediately supporting him.

“Sect Leader, Han Yongyi has fallen into evil, he’s too strong,” Grand Elder Wuya spat blood, his body bearing several wounds, undoubtedly left from the battle in the void.

Yan Hongyu frowned deeply, extremely grave. Even Grand Elder Wuya had been defeated. Just how strong was Han Yongyi?

Grand Elder Wuya’s cultivation was on par with his own, yet he had also been defeated by Han Yongyi. Even if he himself were uninjured, he probably wouldn’t be Han Yongyi’s match.

At this moment, Han Yongyi’s body floated in the void, indifferent to the surrounding battles, his gaze fixed below.

His bloodthirsty, ferocious, and terrifying gaze instilled fear in the hearts of the Holy Sect disciples.

“Protect the Sect Leader and the Grand Elders,” Zong Hentian shouted, fearlessly standing in front of Grand Elder Wuya and Sect Leader Yan.

“Hahaha…” Han Yongyi laughed maniacally, his eyes flashing with bloodlust, his body enveloped in black qi, like a dark dragon roaring ferociously.

“Die!” At this moment, Han Yongyi roared, a palm carrying infinite power descending from the sky.

This palm extinguished all life, filling people with despair.

“Hahaha…” Han Yongyi laughed maniacally.

“Sect Leader…” The grand elders fighting in the void showed panic, but with strong enemies restraining them, they couldn’t break away.

At this moment, it seemed to everyone that the outcome was set, and there was no way to turn the tide.

But just then, Mie Qiongqi roared, his muscles bulging, his aura soaring to the heavens. His figure flashed as he charged forward, intercepting the palm.

“Indestructible…” Mie Qiongqi roared, blood spilling from his body, the immense power causing chaos within his true essence. But under the influence of the “Indestructible” technique, Mie Qiongqi held on stubbornly.

“So what if it’s the Great Heaven Realm? Today, I, Mie Qiongqi, will slay the heavens,” Mie Qiongqi roared domineeringly, his fierce fighting spirit burning to the horizon.

“We’ll help you…” At this moment, the prodigies of the Holy Sect rose up, fearless of death, charging forward.

“We’ll help you!” At that moment, the Saint Sect’s prodigies rose into the sky, fearlessly charging forward, ready to face death itself.
