CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 179: THE ANCIENT SECT LEADER HAS FALLEN

"The Sect Leader and Elders are injured and can’t hold on much longer!"

Gazing at the fierce battle in the sky, Liu Qingqing was terribly anxious, full of worry and panic, her palms sweating.

The Ancient Divine Sect faced such a powerful enemy for the first time.

"The Netherworld King is fighting alone against three opponents and has been stalled, unable to assist the Sect Leader."

"The Sect Leader of the Immortal Sword Sect and several elders have greatly exhausted their spiritual power, they too can’t hold on."

"Didn’t the Netherworld King say he already sent word to the guild? Why haven’t the guild’s experts come yet?"

The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect were all anxious, their faces full of worry, desperate to fight to the death.

But unfortunately, they were too weak to help at all.

The Golden Core Stage couldn’t intervene, let alone those below that stage.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Above in the sky, the sounds of battle continuously echoed, techniques clashed endlessly, various magical treasures were offered up, beams of light collided crazily, and terrifying energy waves relentlessly swept across the Ancient Divine Sect.

As the battle went on.

Strong fighters from the Ancient Divine Sect and the Immortal Sword Sect, including those at the Integration Stage, suffered successive defeats and fell.

"All the Elders have been defeated!"

"Why are their powers so fearsome?"

"For the same realm, why can’t our Elders stand against them?"

The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect were terrified, both scared and puzzled.

Even the elders and Divinity Transformation period experts they had recruited were heavily injured, defeat was inevitable.

Only the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader and the Immortal Sword Sect Leader were still holding on with various degrees of injury.

Despite being at the Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation, the opponents’ power was extraordinarily strong,

"Boom, boom, boom!"

In the fierce combat, facing the terrifying attacks of mighty foes, the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader and the Immortal Sword Sect Leader retreated repeatedly, unable to resist, eventually suffering a brutal beating.

"Sect Leader!" The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect watched with anger and anxiety.

"Thousand Tomb Sect Leader, are you going to cave in this quickly? As a sect leader, is this all you’re made of?" The black-robed man sneered contemptuously, his attack speed increasing, not putting the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader in his eyes at all.

Another man not far away sneered, "Immortal Sword Sect Leader, seems like you are also failing, truly too weak."

"Don’t be so arrogant!" the Immortal Sword Sect Leader shouted angrily.

The Thousand Tomb Sect Leader looked extremely grave, transmitting, "Immortal Sword Sect Leader, they have Spiritual Talismans on them, can last for an hour, be very careful."

"Spiritual Talismans?" The Immortal Sword Sect Leader’s expression changed, frowning viciously, "No wonder they can withstand our sect’s Celestial Technique without any injury, turns out they are using Spiritual Talismans!"

The Thousand Tomb Sect Leader transmitted again, "Spiritual Talismans empower the Divinity Transformation Stage with enormous spiritual power, a rune master capable of making spiritual talismans must be at least seventh grade, there is surely a formidable force backing them."

"It’s not just the two of them, other experts have used Spiritual Talismans too, the fluctuations of the Spiritual Talismans cannot deceive our sect, Immortal Sword Sect Leader, this time you are in great trouble, I’m really sorry."

The Immortal Sword Sect Leader transmitted, "Save your breath, we’ll go down fighting."

At this moment.

The black-robed man suddenly erupted with terrifying momentum, then bent his fingers, and conjured a cyan energy, suffused with terrifying power.

"Old thing! Can you block this move? I don’t know how many disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect will die if you dodge it."

The black-robed man sneered with an expression full of triumph, cyan energy rapidly gathering overhead into a massive Energy Palm Seal, causing those who saw it to feel fear.

The Thousand Tomb Sect Leader looked extremely grim, fiercely saying, "Even if it costs me my life, I will protect the sect’s disciples!"

"Celestial Technique! Carefree Cyan Cloud Palm!"

The black-robed man shouted fiercely, then blasted a massive hundred-zhang cyan Energy Palm Seal with destructive force towards the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader.

The Thousand Tomb Sect Leader looked extremely grave, not daring to be careless, spiritual power fully driven out, beneath him stirred frightening energy waves, a majestic momentum soaring into the sky.

"Celestial Technique! Destruction Rainbow!" The Thousand Tomb Sect Leader roared, pouring all his spiritual power into the Spirit Sword, then swept across.

"Old Thousand! Don’t clash head-on! You can’t beat him!" The Immortal Sword Sect Leader urgently transmitted a shout, worriedly looking at the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader.

But it was already too late.

The black-robed man sneered disdainfully, "Old thing, you’ve expended much of your spiritual power and are wounded, you’re no match for me, merely clutching at straws."

"Shoo!"

"Buzz, buzz!"

The enormous hundred-zhang Energy Sword Slash ferociously tore through the void, shooting towards that Energy Palm Seal, the space it passed through shuddered violently, the attack power extremely formidable.

"Boom!"

"Poof!"

Under the frightened and worried gazes of the Ancient Divine Sect disciples, two terrifying forces collided brutally, exploding on impact, the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader spat blood on the spot, his figure horrifically blasted away by the energy.

This direct clash left the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader heavily injured.

"Sect Leader!"

Elders and disciples of the Divine Sect cried out in horror, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.

The Ancient Divine Sect Leader was defeated!

"Senior Brother..." Ling Qiushui was incredibly worried.

"Old Thousand!" The Immortal Sword Sect Leader was about to surge forward.

"Shoo!"

A figure suddenly swept in to intercept the Immortal Sword Sect Leader.

The newcomer pointed his sword at the Immortal Sword Sect Leader, arrogantly sneering, "Immortal Sword Sect Leader, if you want to save people, you’ll have to get past me, but your fate will be the same as his."

Having severely injured the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader, the black-robed man ferociously shot forth, sneering, "Old thing, your time has come, killing you means the Ancient Divine Sect will be doomed, it’s too late for regrets now."

"Sect Leader!" Celestial Monarch Xing shouted anxiously.

"Sect Leader!" The disciples of the Divine Sect cried out in terror, hearts in their throats.

With the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader heavily injured, the black-robed man’s pursuit would undoubtedly deliver a fatal blow to Thousand Tomb.

"It’s bad!" The Netherworld King’s expression changed drastically, quickly turning his gaze to the severely injured Thousand Tomb Sect Leader.

"Netherworld King, don’t think about saving anyone," the leading man sneered, "without killing us, you can’t save anyone."

The three Late Stage Divinity Transformation experts launched fierce attacks continuously, giving the Netherworld King no chance at all.

However.

Just as everyone thought the Thousand Tomb Sect Leader would surely die.

"Roar!"

An earth-shaking roar suddenly came from the Immortal Residence of Eternal Youth, an extremely violent momentum surged into the sky.

The sudden roar startled everyone present.

Everyone’s gaze turned towards the source of the roar.

"Tier Eight Demon Beast!"

"That’s right! This terrifying violent aura, it’s a Tier Eight Demon Beast!"

"Where did this Tier Eight Demon Beast come from in our Divine Sect?"

Divine Sect disciples were both terrified and puzzled, everyone could confirm it was the roar of a demon beast.

Where did the Ancient Divine Sect get a demon beast?

"I haven’t even detected its presence!" The Netherworld King was extremely shocked, unable to believe the Ancient Divine Sect had hidden a Tier Eight Demon Beast.

"Tier Eight Demon Beast!" The experts of Penglai Immortal Island were also astonished.
