Chapter 368 Dao Court Suffered Heavy Losses
Chapter 368: The Devastating Loss of Dao Court
Outside the protective mountain formation.
The Quasi-Saint Emperors of the Dao Court camp, along with millions of high-level immortals, were still launching a full-scale attack. Countless innate and acquired spiritual treasures emitted dazzling lights and shadows, filling the sky.
The wind, clouds, thunder, limitless fire, water, and wind, the chaotic Dao Rhyme of the turbulent and chaotic world, the almost collapsing void structure... It was as dangerous and terrifying as the chaotic void before the creation of the universe.
Giant planets and floating land masses were continuously drawn from the distant void by these powerful beings. They were then thrown down as disposable consumables, causing earth-shattering explosions. They turned into massive high-temperature fire clouds with a diameter of billions of miles, capable of incinerating everything, and the scorching waves of air spread rapidly in all directions.
If it were the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace in the past, it might not have been able to withstand such a fierce attack.
However, since Qin Muling and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had been relentlessly exploiting the Illusory Mist Secret Realm, causing the size of the void landmass to greatly increase, a new protective mountain formation was personally constructed and supervised by Qing Yao. Its defensive power was completely incomparable. Especially with the protection of the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, the Dao Court camp's army had been attacking with all their might for so long, yet it was still in vain.
Of course, wars between the supreme powers of the Supreme Dao Tradition often lasted for hundreds or even thousands of years, so the powerful beings were patient and persevered in their attacks.
Suddenly, a semi-transparent chaotic sword shadow quietly appeared outside the protective mountain formation. In an instant, it split into billions of destructive sword auras, covering the army of immortals in the Dao Court camp.
The void suddenly solidified, then shattered like a mirror, leaving only a chaotic sword aura vortex with a diameter of millions of miles. Under the terrifying suction, nearly half of the Taiyi and Great Principal Golden Immortals screamed in horror and helplessness as they were involuntarily sucked in.
"...You dare, you scum!"
With a mix of shock and anger, You Xiong Tianhe sternly rebuked. With a wave of his sleeve, the huge sword aura vortex was momentarily frozen.
Taking this opportunity, many Dao Court emperors immediately attacked the sword aura vortex, successfully rescuing most of the immortals. However, there were still hundreds of Great Principle and thousands of Taiyi Golden Immortals who were sucked into the depths of the vortex and ceased to exist, with no possibility of reincarnation.
"Chi la!"
You Xiong Tianhe's Dao robe sleeves turned into fragments and scattered in the sky. Drops of golden blood fell from his fingertips, and his old face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Just now, he had voluntarily endured most of the power of the Primordial Origin Sword Box. Despite his extraordinary cultivation, he couldn't help but suffer a setback.
"...Not bad, come again!"
The soft and pleasant voice of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao resounded from afar. Since she had taken over the Void Divine Cauldron of the Other Shore, she could temporarily leave the coverage of the protective mountain formation and launch attacks on the army of immortals in the Dao Court camp.
With Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's cultivation realm and the Primordial Origin Sword Box, a killing treasure in her hands, there were basically no obstacles that could stop her in the Dao Court camp.
Every time she launched a strong attack, there would be varying numbers of Taiyi and Great Principal Golden Immortals who perished, and sometimes even a Quasi-Saint Emperor. After several rounds, the losses of the Dao Court camp became increasingly severe.
In the end, You Xiong Tianhe, who was in charge of the overall situation, couldn't hold back any longer and decided to personally take action, attempting to give Immortal Venerable Qing Yao a taste of her own medicine.
However, for some reason, his actions were always slightly slower than Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's. Not only could he not stop her attacks, but he also occasionally suffered losses from her strikes.
As for the performance of the other Quasi-Saint Emperors, it goes without saying. As long as they dared to intercept, they would mostly return injured under Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's counterattacks, and some of them were seriously injured.
"You shameless scum! If you have the ability, come out and have a fair and square duel with me, and no one is allowed to help!"
You Xiong Tianhe angrily rebuked with a dark expression on his face, feeling frustrated and annoyed. He and Qing Yao were clearly at the same level of cultivation, but he always couldn't do anything to her. He really didn't understand where the problem lay.
Of course, he also does not have the Primordial Origin Sword Box, an Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure, and only has two Peerless Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, so his destructive power is far inferior to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao.
What he doesn't know is that in the past three months, his luck has silently decreased by more than thirty percent, causing his mind to gradually become confused and make repeated low-level mistakes. It has become increasingly difficult to control and manipulate high-powered Divine Abilities, and his recovery speed after being injured is always unsatisfactory.
If this dangerous trend cannot be reversed, perhaps in another year or so, this powerful being who has severed his three corpses will be plagued by misfortune and calamity, and it is not impossible for him to even die and disappear.
After a moment, the figure of Immortal Venerable Qing Yao appeared again. This time, she did not attack those high-level immortals, but targeted a normal Quasi-Saint Emperor in the Dao Court camp. A condensed and seemingly dim sword aura appeared above that person's forehead at an almost infinite speed.
That unfortunate person didn't even have time to react before being beheaded by a sword, and his divine soul was annihilated by the terrifying Sword Intent.
"...Now is the time, kill her!"
Emperor Xuan Yin shouted sternly.
Four seemingly invisible figures quietly appeared around Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, and a cage of light that isolated the void and solidified time instantly formed. Several Innate Spiritual Treasures shaped like poisonous thorns and fangs simultaneously stabbed towards her vital points.
They were the four senior Quasi-Saint Emperors who had recently returned to the Shadow Assassin Temple and were known for their expertise in assassination and ambush in the upper realm.
"Now let's see how you escape this time? Surrender your life!"
With a fierce smile, You Xiong Tianhe and more than ten other senior Quasi-Saint Emperors pounced on her, unleashing various deadly moves without hesitation, even at the cost of depleting their own essence and blood.
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao is the most powerful existence in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace, and she is also the spiritual pillar of billions of female cultivators. If she falls or is seriously injured, the impact on the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance can be imagined.
That's why You Xiong Tianhe has carefully arranged such a deadly situation. Being able to deceive Immortal Venerable Qing Yao with a whiteboard Emperor in exchange is truly a profitable deal.
Under sudden attack, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao didn't care at all. Her body flickered with light and she activated the Primordial Origin Sword Box to strike at a figure beside her with all her might. The three major avatars silently appeared and used their Innate Spiritual Treasures to block the other three figures.
At this moment, You Xiong Tianhe had already led his men to the scene, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Suddenly, a chaotic tornado measuring billions of miles appeared on the spot, causing the structure of the void to shatter like pieces of paper.
The fighting between the two camps instinctively stopped, and the gazes of all the high-level figures anxiously watched the chaotic tornado that pierced through the heavens and earth.
"...A group of fools, they don't even realize they're about to die!"
In the core hub of the Mountain Protection Formation, Qin Muling, who was by Mu Yinghua's side, sneered slightly. You Xiong Tianhe's lifespan has already entered the countdown stage, yet he is still so lively. He doesn't even consider that if he were to fall, the foundation of the Dao Court in the upper realm would likely be completely swallowed by external enemies!
"Younger Junior Brother, will our Master be alright?"
The Cloud Fox Emperor beside him asked nervously.
"She will be fine, Senior Sister, just rest assured!"
Qin Muling responded, thinking to himself that as long as I'm here, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao will turn out fine even if something happens.
Not long after, several muffled groans and screams were heard, and the huge chaotic tornado suddenly burst open, dissipating into flowing light. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao and her three avatars quietly disappeared. Only two lifeless and incomplete bodies of the Shadow Assassin Temple's Quasi-Saint Emperors remained in place.
Xiong Tianhe lowered his head in difficulty, examining his already unconscious and blood-soaked right arm. Even half of his shoulder was covered in scars from the terrifying destructive sword energy. The remaining violent Sword Intent Dao Rhyme continued to rampage within his body, making it difficult to even stop the bleeding for a moment.
Behind him, more than ten senior Quasi-Saint Emperors were almost all injured. Although their injuries didn't seem particularly severe, the fact that they ended up like this in a situation where they outnumbered their opponents was somewhat embarrassing.
"... Ancestor, are you alright?"
Emperor Wei De asked cautiously, taking out a bottle of Heavenly Grade spirit pill and offering it.
"It's nothing, just a minor injury, it's not a big deal!"
Xiong Tianhe coldly replied, reaching out to take the pill bottle and opening it to swallow the spirit pill in one gulp.
A large amount of spiritual essence from the pill flowed into his body, turning into a surging hot stream that filled his entire body. Finally, the speed of his wound recovery increased significantly.
Inside the protective mountain formation barrier...
"... Ancestor!"
"Master!"
Seeing Immortal Venerable Qing Yao return covered in blood and with injuries all over her body, even her three major incarnations were weak and pale, obviously having affected her Dao Foundation. The female emperors around her were immediately panicked.
Even the luxurious palace dress and crown worn by Immortal Venerable Qing Yao were severely damaged. They were Innate Primordial Supreme Treasure-level treasures.
"It's alright, sisters don't need to worry, I've got everything under control!"
Qin Muling said, waving her hand and releasing a purple light that was as thick as a water bucket. It enveloped Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, containing an unimaginable source of Good Fortune vitality. The horrifying wounds immediately began to heal at a visible speed.
In just a moment, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao had already returned to her peak state, and even her palace dress and crown had been repaired. Qin Muling's talent and Divine Ability were equally effective on them.
Then, Qin Muling repeated the process and healed her three major incarnations as well.
"... That was really close just now!"
The female emperors all breathed a sigh of relief. If anything had happened to Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, it would have been a fatal blow to Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and even the entire Female Cultivators Union Alliance. It seemed that they had worried too much.
In this life-and-death battle just now, the Dao Court camp lost three Quasi-Saint Emperors, including Xiong Tianhe, and many senior Quasi-Saint Emperors were injured. The losses were not insignificant.
Of course, if they were able to severely injure Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, then this exchange would have been very worthwhile. Unfortunately, the Dao Court camp clearly miscalculated.
With Qin Muling present, the losses of Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace were almost zero, and Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's combat power was not affected at all. The Dao Court camp could be said to be at a disadvantage.
"You're really good, little junior brother!"
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao said with a smile, not caring that they were in a public setting, and hugged Qin Muling, even giving him a kiss.
"Cough cough... Ancestor, what should we do now? Should we continue to counterattack?"
Mu Yinghua coughed awkwardly a few times, quietly asking, thinking that she couldn't consider her image a little bit? In front of so many junior disciples, to actually embrace and kiss Mu Ling without any regard, it was simply...
Immortal Venerable Qing Yao was not embarrassed at all and smiled calmly, saying, "I'll go meet those old things again and see what tricks they can come up with!"
Anyway, with Qin Muling's help, even if the injuries were severe, as long as they didn't die on the spot, they could easily recover in a short time.
The Dao Court camp did not have such miraculous conditions, so as long as they continued to endure, Cloud Dream Heavenly Palace and the Female Cultivators Union Alliance would definitely have the last laugh!
Inside the Dao Court camp.
"Continue the attack! Immortal Venerable Qing Yao probably won't come out for a long time, so we can take advantage of this..." Xiong Tianhe, who had just recovered a bit, instructed the Emperor Sovereigns beside him. The nightmarish chaotic sword energy appeared again in front of them, heading straight for his evil thoughts incarnation.
"...Impossible?!" Xiong Tianhe's voice of disbelief echoed in the void.
He never expected that Immortal Venerable Qing Yao would come back so quickly. Wasn't she severely injured and greatly weakened? What went wrong?
No one clarified his doubts. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao didn't hesitate to burn several years of her lifespan, launching a swift and fierce attack. Xiong Tianhe's evil thoughts incarnation couldn't react in time and was pierced by the chaotic sword energy, shattering his protective Spiritual Treasure and cutting his body and soul into pieces!
By the time the Quasi-Saint Emperors around him woke up and counterattacked with all their might, it was already too late.
In an instant, Xiong Tianhe's evil thoughts incarnation perished!
Two faint and indistinct figures appeared behind Immortal Venerable Qing Yao. The Innate Spiritual Treasure in their hands emitted a hazy gray light. They were the only two Quasi-Saint Emperors left from Shadow Assassin Temple.
Waiting for you! Immortal Venerable Qing Yao sneered in her heart. These guys from Shadow Assassin Temple had caused her the most harm in the previous ambush. This time, she had to deal with them all at once!
The three major incarnations appeared by her side again, burning with black and white flames. They attacked one of the Quasi-Saint Emperors with all their might. In just a few breaths, they broke through the opponent's defense and cut them into pieces.
The last Quasi-Saint Emperor from Shadow Assassin Temple finally realized the danger and tried to escape, but it was too late.
However, at this moment, the combined counterattack of the many Emperor Sovereigns from Dao Court finally arrived. They were instantly engulfed by an immeasurable bright light and terrifying high temperature. The raging chaotic turbulence storm surged out from the cracks in the shattered void structure, turning the billions of miles of void into chaos.
After more than ten breaths, the void finally calmed down. Immortal Venerable Qing Yao, covered in blood, struggled to retreat back into the protective barrier of the mountain guarding formation along with her three major incarnations.
This time, her injuries were even more severe than before, but they still didn't matter in the face of Qin Muling's talent and Divine Ability.
In just a short moment, Immortal Venerable Qing Yao's injuries and lifespan were completely restored.
On the other side, two Quasi-Saint Emperors from Shadow Assassin Temple perished, one Quasi-Saint Emperor from Palace of Calamitous Fate perished, and two Quasi-Saint Emperors from Four Elephant Sect perished. Xiong Tianhe's evil thoughts incarnation was damaged, and his true body and benevolent thoughts incarnation were also heavily injured.
Moreover, his injuries this time were troublesome, as they had affected his Dao Foundation's origin. It wouldn't be as easy to recover as he had imagined.
