Chapter 1330: Ambush (2)
“Hm?”
Noticing the terrifying battle that was taking place in the Onyx Empire almost immediately due to the sheer scale of the battle and that it had even spread into the territory of the Star Shattering Sect, Xuan Hao could not help freezing on the spot with a clear frown on his face.
“Master? Is something wrong?”
Standing next to him, Bai Ning who had been in the process of forging an artifact under his guidance could not help looking up with confusion after suddenly seeing that his master had stopped talking.
“Someone is fighting close to the territory of our sect, and it seems like their battle has already caused quite a bit of damage to our territory…” Not hiding anything Xuan Hao nodded his head as he told Bai Ning what was happening.
Although he hadn’t confirmed any damage to the sect’s territory, he was certain that there was some. After all, the remnant power of the battle had managed to reach all the way to the Shattered Star Peaks. The territory closest to the Onyx Empire was bound to have suffered quite a bit of damage.
The only positive thing was that the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire who should be one of the people involved in the fight had taken the initiative to move the fight deeper in the Frozen wasteland to avoid any more damage to what could essentially be considered territory under the Blue Sea Empire.
“Someone fighting close to our territory?! And it even caused damage to the degree that master noticed it… Master… how strong are the people fighting?”
Hearing what his master said, Bai Ning could not help muttering this to himself before trying to ask more into the situation. Curious about the strength of someone capable of causing his master to act so seriously. Even placing the half complete artifact on the side as he asked.
“Celestial Immortal Realm. If I’m not wrong, it should be the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire who is currently at the Onyx Empire who is battling someone of similar strength.” Narrowing both his eyes as he said this, Xuan Hao kept looking in the direction of the battle. Clearly not understanding what the demonic cultivators were planning, as he understood full well that there would be no way for them to win. Even if they had a numbers advantage.
After all, all things considered, this could still be considered part of the Blue Sea Empire, and it would at most take a few minutes before the rest of the ancestors from the Blue Sea Empire appeared to lend a hand. Far from enough time to take down this Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestor.
Not to mention taking him down, Xuan Hao didn’t even think that the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire currently caught in a fight would need to use any of his hidden cards, as there was simply far too little time for those demonic cultivators to pose any real threat to him-
Rumble~!
At least that was what he thought when he suddenly felt a terrifying tremor spreading through the ground beneath him following three terrifying demonic auras appearing in three different locations behind the ancestor of the Blue Sea Empire.
One came from the direction of the fallen Sky Empire, another from the Onyx Empire and the last came from the direction on the other side of the Onyx Empire.
Among these, there was a distinct difference in strength between the one in fallen Sky Empire and the other two, as the one in the fallen Sky Empire was clearly far weaker than the other two.
Even then, far weaker was still far above anything Xuan Hao felt confident in taking head on, as the strength of these terrifying auras had all clearly surpassed the Dao Seed Realm.
An ambush?
Thinking this to himself as he felt the three terrifying demonic auras, Xuan Hao instantly understood the intentions behind the three demonic cultivators.
RUMBLE-!
And it was at this moment that the terrifying tremor intensified significantly compared to before. Reaching the point where everyone on the Shattered Star Peaks could sense it. Even alerting the oblivious mortals who were just going about their day without any idea of the terrifying battle taking place just outside the Onyx Empire at this point in time.
WHOOOOSH-!
In the next second, a terrifying beam of light cut through the sky in the direction of the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire, changing the color of the sky into a bright red wherever it passed, causing mortals and cultivators alike to think that some kind of heavenly calamity was about to descend.
Only those at the Domain Lord Realm and above could sense that this wasn’t some kind of heavenly calamity, but instead a powerful attack launched by a cultivator far beyond themselves, while the few cultivators from the Blue Sea Empire all understood who the target of the attack was and the fact that it had come from a formation of some kind-
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
Whoosh-!
As a result of this, before the attack had even landed on the ancestor of the Blue Sea Empire, the Dao Seed Realm cultivators from the Blue Sea Empire had already rushed out in the direction that the attack had come from. Knowing that although they couldn’t help their ancestor, they would at least be able to destroy the formation and stop any more attacks from being launched.
In turn, this was also what the demonic cultivators setting up these formations had feared, as they didn’t dare to waste any time and ran away the moment, they had finished their job of activating the formation. Unfortunately, the one in the Onyx Empire didn’t even have the time to step outside the recently built capital of the Onyx Empire before being surrounded and attacked by four different Dao Seed Realm cultivators from the Blue Sea Empire who had just recently escaped from the attack by the three demon kings.
I knew it would turn out like this…
In the end, the demonic cultivator couldn’t do anything as he was surrounded by them. Unable to escape from the combined attack of four Dao Seed Realm cultivators.
…
At the same time back at the battlefield between the Blue Sea Empire Ancestor and the three Demon King Realm demonic cultivators, the two tremors that should have been noticed earlier was not discovered by the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire due to the battle making it difficult to distinguish if the tremor had come as a result of the battle or something different.
“Hm? That is-!?”
In the end, the ancestor of the Blue Sea Empire only discovered that he had walked into a trap when three distinct beams of red light appeared within the range of his divine sense heading directly towards him at a terrifying speed. Each of them carrying a power above that of his own.
“The Frozen Wasteland Demon King!? Does he intend to launch another war!?” Screaming this out loud in disbelief as he identified the owner of the terrifying power, the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire understood that he stood little chance of escaping from his current situation.
The three demonic cultivators in front blocked his path forward, while the three powerful attacks from behind each blocked a potential escape path. Ultimately forcing him to at least take on one of the red beams, something he understood would be a death sentence considering the strength of the Frozen Wasteland Demon King.
Hm!? One of the red beams seems to be a bit weaker than the rest…!
However, just as he was about to give up hope and try something radical like blowing himself up to take down one of the demon kings down with him, he suddenly noticed that the power of one of the three red beams of light rapidly approaching him was significantly weaker than the other two.
Although it was not by that much, it was still enough for him to give up his radical last ditch attack idea and instead try and see if he could make it out alive-
Whoosh-!
So, before the three demonic cultivators noticed that one of the three beams were weaker than the other two, he gave up his attack on the three demonic cultivators and directly took out a large shield, a hidden trump card of his that was made for deflecting and blocking powerful attacks, before charging towards the weakest of the three beams of light.
BOOOM-!
Not a second later, he collided directly with the weakened beam of red light, causing the shield to shine brightly as it operated some kind of mysterious laws to forcibly deflect the red beam of light away from the ancestor and into the distance. Significantly weakening the stress put on the shield itself, as it only had to deal with little over half of the red beams original power after it deflected the rest into the distance…
