Chapter 1331: Ambush (3)
I wonder if the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire can get out of his current predicament and- Huh?
Having focused his full attention on the battle that was currently taking place between the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire and the three Demon King Realm demonic cultivators, Xuan Hao suddenly froze on the stop as he suddenly sensed one of the three terrifying beams that had been heading towards the battle changing directions.
Even worse, he could clearly sense that its current direction would cause it to pierce straight through the Seventh Star Peak where the main sect was located and the Ninth Star Peak where most of the sect’s spiritual herbs were being grown.
Whoosh-!
Knowing that he couldn’t allow something like that to happen, Xuan Hao didn’t waste any time as he moved out of his disciple’s forge before directing the full strength of the Chaotic Qi Formation to defend against the terrifying attack-
BOOOOOOM-!
And this was just barely in the nick of time, as the attack landed almost the same moment that he finished mobilizing all of the Chaotic Qi Formations strength towards defending the single location that the red beam attack would strike.
Rumble-!
As the two terrifying forces clashed with each other, one belonging to the demonic formation and the other the Chaotic Qi Formation, the entire Shattered Star Peaks began to violently shake as the entire sky above the sect turned bright red.
“Wha-what is happening!? Are we under attack!?”
“What is that?”
“Is this the guardian formation… How awesome!”
As a result of this, the disciples and elders present in the sect all came out to observe what was happening with varying degrees of fear and awe at the terrifying display of power caused by the clash between the Chaotic Qi Formation and the deflected part of demonic formations attack.
Fwissssh~
However, after no more than a few seconds, the attack came to an end, as the Chaotic Qi Formation slowly retreated from view and returned to its normal operational state. Refining the chaotic qi above to increase the qi density inside the Shattered Star Peaks.
Looking at it from the outside, the Chaotic Qi Formation didn’t suffer the slightest bit of damage from the attack just now. Making the disciples and elders inside the sect confident that the threat outside the sect had passed.
Only Feng Chen and some of the other higher ups of the sect had some inkling that the attack just now should be related to the terrifying battle taking place in the Onyx Empire at the moment. Resulting in almost all of them contacting Xuan Hao for confirmation.
The reason for this being that out of everyone present, he was the only one who had the ability to fully mobilize the Chaotic Qi Formation to such a degree.
After all, even though someone like Feng Chen also had the ability to control the Chaotic Qi Formation to some extent, he was still too weak to fully utilize it with his current strength. Not to mention, some areas like the First- and Second-Star Peak had already been personally closed off by Xuan Hao through the Chaotic Qi Formation.
In the end, Xuan Hao didn’t hide anything from these worried elders and informed them about what had happened, causing no small amount of worry from them, as they found out just how powerful someone above the Dao Seed Realm was.
Even being an entire empire away from the battle itself, they were still in the line of fire and might end up dead at any moment without enough strength.
At least in this regard, the elders were all amazed by the strength displayed by the Chaotic Qi Formation, as it had proven itself capable of resisting the attacks of someone above the Dao Seed Realm without any major problems.
“Hm? The situation is changing again…” Not caring too much about the amazement of the elders of the sect after he had briefly explained what had happened, Xuan Hao was instead focused on the situation of the battle between the three Demon King Realm demonic cultivators and the Celestial Immortal from the Blue Sea Empire. Noticing almost immediately that the battle seemed to have taken some kind of drastic turn during his brief period of utilizing the Chaotic Qi Formation to defend the Star Shattering Sect.
The change in question was not that one of them had significantly weakened, but instead that the four had come to a standstill without doing anything and seemed to be locked in a standstill.
What could have happened?
Thinking this to himself as he carefully sensed the situation in the distance, Xuan Hao could not help what had ended up happening for such a drastic change to take place and cause the four to enter a standstill just after being engaged in such a deadly battle with each other.
Perhaps a powerful hidden trump card of some kind…?
The only thing Xuan Hao could think of that might have caused this was that the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire had taken out some kind of powerful hidden card to threaten the three Demon King Realm demonic cultivators into stopping their attack.
…
A short time earlier at the Frozen Wasteland where the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire had managed to successfully deflect part of the attack and block the rest with his shield shaped artifact, the three Demon King Realm demonic cultivators all looked on in disbelief. Not having expected for the ancestor of the Blue Sea Empire to have an artifact capable of helping him defend against the attack from the formation.
After all, this didn’t just contain the power obtained by sacrificing a large number of mortals and cultivators, but also part of the Frozen Wasteland Demon King’s own power. Not something that a normal Celestial Immortal or Demon King would be capable of defending against.
Of course, the only reason why the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire had been able to defend against the attack was because it had been weakened compared to the other two, but none of the three demon kings present had noticed this and just thought he had managed to defend against the attack because of powerful strength of the shield shaped artifact.
“Hm?”
“That is…!?”
“…”
However, just as the three Demon King Realm demonic cultivators were thinking about what steps to take next and the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire was cautiously observing them, all four of them suddenly sensed the clash between the Chaotic Qi Formation and the part of the attack that had been deflected by the shield shaped artifact.
“Is… Someone else hiding nearby?”
“Doesn’t seem like someone from the Blue Sea Empire… Perhaps someone wanting to take advantage of the situation…?”
Only able to feel the clash that took place in the distance, the four of them could ultimately not discern that it was a clash between a formation and the attack. Instead thinking that it was a clash between another powerful cultivator that was hiding nearby and observing their battle from afar.
“Not good, we might end up getting encircled if there are more people around!”
Realizing the immediate danger of the current situation after he was certain that it was not a demonic cultivator, one of the three Demon King Realm cultivators rapidly turned around and fled back into the deeper regions of the Frozen Wasteland as he said this.
“”…””
Seeing this, the two remaining Demon King Realm demonic cultivators briefly looked at each other before deciding to follow after the escaping demonic cultivator.
Although they understood that the chances of them being encircled and attack by a large group of cultivators, they also understood that their original goal of ambushing and killing the Celestial Immortal Realm Ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire had already failed.
With that in mind, there was no reason for them to continue staying around. Instead, it would be better for them to get out of the way before the rest of the ancestors from the Blue Sea Empire rushed over to attack them.
After all, even if they would still be capable of escaping, none of them felt like getting beaten up in the process of doing so…
“They are leaving…”
Watching all of this, the ancestor from the Blue Sea Empire could not help silently breathing out a sigh of relief as the three Demon King Realm demonic cultivators disappeared into the depths of the Frozen Wasteland before he ultimately turned to gently bow in the direction that the powerful beam attack had been blocked at.
Understanding that the person who blocked the attack should have been more capable of moving out of the way and remain hidden.
The only reason why the other party revealed themselves would be to intimidate the demonic cultivators, something that was needed for him considering that it wasn’t without cost for him to block and deflect part of the demonic formations attack.
If the demonic cultivators had stayed, they might very well have been able to kill him before any of the Blue Sea Empire’s ancestors could show up…
