Two armies faced off, with three battlegrounds clashing violently before the formation, drawing countless eyes.
Xiao Hejian was among the strongest of the Eighth Transformation — by sheer strength alone, she was undoubtedly on par with a Heavenly Court member. And Shen Congsheng, ever since returning from the Azure Dragon Whale, had also grown significantly in power. The two clashed on even ground.
But in the other two battlegrounds, the Foreign Tribe Grand Alliance was clearly at a disadvantage.
The Lord of the Chaotic Stone Cave was mostly defending with little offense, while in the remaining fight, the Seventh Transformation Gu Immortal of the Snow Tribe was already showing signs of defeat. His opponent was Xia Ruizhi, who despite being only at the Seventh Transformation, was after all the Supreme Elder of the Xia Family — wealthy in resources and abundant in techniques.
After a few more exchanges, Xia Ruizhi suddenly bellowed and unleashed a devastating killing move, striking toward the Snow Tribe Gu Immortal.
The Snow Tribe Gu Immortal could hardly dodge, and despair welled up across his face.
At that very moment, the Ice Crystal Immortal King erupted into action, his ice-path killing move surging forward to attack Xia Ruizhi with tremendous force.
The Eastern Sea Righteous Path Alliance flew into a rage, acting in unison to shield Xiarizhi and block the Ice Crystal Immortal King's sudden assault.
Seizing the opportunity, the Ice Crystal Immortal King also pulled that Seventh Transformation Snow Tribe cultivator back into their own ranks.
"Foreign Gu Immortals truly know no shame or honor — losing the fight and then losing face!"
"This was clearly a one-on-one duel, yet they interfered to save him. Fine, since you won't play by the rules, then we'll all go in together!"
"Kill! Wipe out every last one of these foreign Gu Immortals!"
The Eastern Sea Righteous Alliance was furious beyond measure. Their entire army surged forward like a wild tidal wave, crashing down upon the Foreign Tribe Grand Alliance.
The Ice Crystal Immortal King and the others' expressions changed dramatically.
The Eastern Sea Alliance's offensive was incredibly fierce, spearheaded by over a dozen Immortal Gu Houses that charged recklessly with brute, overwhelming force. In comparison, although the Foreign Tribe Grand Alliance boasted many Eighth Transformation Gu Immortals, they lacked Immortal Gu Houses — and in a large-scale battle like this, fighting with nothing but their bare bodies put them at a severe disadvantage.
Just at this critical moment, an ant army suddenly appeared, forming a dazzling golden river of insects that surged to counterattack the Eastern Sea Alliance.
The Eastern Sea Alliance's momentum was immediately blunted. Surrounded by billions upon billions of Legion Ants, many Immortal Gu Houses were being frantically infiltrated, and for a time they could only defend desperately, their formations thrown into chaos.
Wu Shuai appeared at leisure. Even without the Dragon Palace, he was still a powerhouse among the Eighth Transformation!
"Alliance Lord!" The morale of the Foreign Tribe Grand Alliance soared.
The Eastern Sea Gu Immortals, by contrast, were struck pale with shock.
"How did Wu Shuai get here?"
"Isn't he with that great demon Fang Yuan?"
"If he's here, then where is Fang Yuan?"
As if in answer to the Eastern Sea immortals' questions, Fang Yuan's figure also materialized.
"You've got some nerve." Fang Yuan smiled, waving his hand casually. A five-colored rainbow of light erupted forth with thunderous force.
A Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu House was struck by the prismatic beam and trembled violently. After holding on for a few breaths, it could withstand no more and frantically retreated.
The Gu Immortal inside was terrified beyond measure, crying out in alarm: "This is a composite killing move — it contains the five paths of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth!"
Fang Yuan snapped his fingers, and countless luminous butterflies streaked outward.
The light butterflies danced through the air like a torrential downpour, sweeping toward every Immortal Gu House on the field.
Each Immortal Gu House unleashed its full power in resistance.
The butterflies constantly shifted colors, skillfully evading the various attacks and infiltrating deep into the Immortal Gu Houses.
"This is another composite killing move — it contains the profound mysteries of transformation path and refinement path!"
"Don't let these light butterflies get close to the Immortal Gu Houses — they can forcibly refine Gu Insects!"
The Eastern Sea Alliance let out wave after wave of panicked shouts.
The immortals of the Foreign Tribe Grand Alliance watched with jaws hanging open.
Fang Yuan alone had thrown the entire Eastern Sea Alliance into chaos — such was the combat power of a Half-Supreme Venerable! The number one demon of all Five Regions!
"Fang Yuan, old friend — it's been a while." At that critical moment, air currents surged like the roar of crashing waves, and Ancestor Qi Sea revealed his true form.
The Eastern Sea Alliance's morale finally stabilized.
"Ancestor Qi Sea has finally entered the fight!"
"He's a Half-Supreme Venerable in combat power — only he can stand against Fang Yuan!"
"Ancestor Qi Sea actually came back too? Wasn't he missing?" The foreign Gu Immortals were stunned, and many wore expressions of grave concern.
The only reason the Eastern Sea immortals had been able to assemble a great army and march against the Foreign Tribe Grand Alliance was not only the Xia Family's aggressive diplomacy and willingness to cede numerous resource points, but also Ancestor Qi Sea's secret return, through which he had quietly rallied the immortals.
"Fang Yuan, please!" Ancestor Qi Sea was the first to break through the Heavenly Force barrier, ascending to the Primordial Daytime.
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "Since you're in such high spirits, Qi Sea, how could I refuse to join you?" With that, he too soared up into the Primordial Daytime.
No one dared follow them. At this moment, the skies above the Eastern Sea were a maelstrom of total chaos.
