Chapter 1263: The Sinister Forces Attack

After leaving Xian Yue Xing, Ye Chen went directly to Da Chu Xing.

The distance between Da Chu Xing and Xian Yue Xing wasn't far, only about a million li.

On the way, Ye Chen took everyone to visit two or three ancient stars. They were lucky enough to find reincarnated individuals on those stars, but it was disappointing that there were only three of them in total.

It was late at night when the group finally stopped in a stretch of starry space.

In the distance, Da Chu Xing was already visible.

However, the space around Da Chu Xing was filled with people, over a hundred thousand of them, all clad in black robes with surging black mist enveloping their bodies. Their faces were hidden, revealing only pairs of cold eyes glowing with an eerie light, like ghosts and bloodthirsty demons in the night.

Senluo Dian!

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed, recognizing the origin of these people from their familiar aura.

Boom! Bang!

As they watched, the hundred thousand cultivators from Senluo Dian were fiercely bombarding Da Chu Xing's star-protecting barrier. Among them were many Zhun Sheng, along with five Sheng Ren. This lineup was undoubtedly powerful.

What's going on?

Yan Laodao and the others frowned, surprised by the commotion upon arrival.

Ye Chen was also puzzled, unable to understand why Senluo Dian had come here and ended up clashing with Tian Ting.

The starry space grew restless, with cultivators from all directions rushing to observe. The only reason was that Senluo Dian's actions were too massive, mobilizing a hundred thousand cultivators, five Sheng Ren, and over a dozen Zhun Sheng.

It looks like this ancient star is about to change hands!

Cultivators gathered from various sides, their discussions rising and falling. They recalled how the Hua Long Zong had been driven away before, and with Senluo Dian's grand display, it seemed they intended to claim this ancient star for themselves.

Tian Ting's star-protecting barrier is incredibly tough!

Amid the discussions, there were sighs of admiration. Despite so many strong experts from Senluo Dian, they still hadn't breached the defense.

It won't hold out much longer!

Some veteran cultivators stroked their beards and said that while Tian Ting's barrier was strong, it couldn't withstand such relentless attacks. Senluo Dian's forces were overwhelming, and breaking the barrier was only a matter of time.

Enter the cauldron!

Ye Chen summoned the Hun Dun Ding and took Yan Laodao and the others inside, then charged forward.

Not a single one will escape!

Outside Da Chu Xing, a Sheng Ren from Senluo Dian snorted coldly and personally controlled an assault formation. Each strike carried the might of a Sheng Ren, nearly shattering the barrier several times.

The taste of blood must be wonderful!

The other four Sheng Ren from Senluo Dian licked their crimson lips.

Wan Jian Chao Zong!

Ye Chen arrived and wasted no time, launching the Wan Jian Chao Zong secret technique from behind, catching the Senluo Dian forces off guard. Rows upon rows of figures turned into blood mist.

You're asking for death!

A Sheng Ren from Senluo Dian snarled and reached out, manifesting a massive hundred-zhang hand to grab Ye Chen.

Suoge Cheng Cun!

Ye Chen shifted in an instant, dodging the attack and plunging into the midst of the Senluo Dian army. He swung his killing sword, slashing down a swath of enemies in one strike, cutting down several hundred before they could react.

Bastards!

Roars of fury echoed from all sides as the five Sheng Ren from Senluo Dian charged at him.

Ye Chen sneered, carving a bloody path through the chaos and flying into Da Chu Xing, vanishing from sight.

Attack for me!

The five Sheng Ren's faces twisted with rage, their shouts shaking the starry space.

At once, the Senluo Dian forces attacked like frenzied beasts, unleashing formations, secret techniques, and weapons in a relentless barrage toward Da Chu Xing, almost breaking the barrier.

By then, Ye Chen had returned to the Tian Ting immortal mountains.

Seeing him arrive, Long Yi, Situ Nan, and the others rushed forward, their faces pale. The black-robed Sheng Ren and white-robed Sheng Ren looked even paler, as they were the ones maintaining Da Chu Xing's barrier and had suffered significant backlash.

Ye Chen waved his hand, releasing Yan Laodao and the others from the Hun Dun Ding.

Wow!

Gazing at Wu San Pao, Niu Shisan, Taiyi Zhenren, and the rest, the Tian Ting cultivators' eyes lit up. In return, Wu San Pao and the others' eyes shone as they looked back, tears streaming down their faces as they wept uncontrollably.

A hundred years have passed.

We never thought we'd meet again.

Many gathered together, the scene lively and emotional.

What kind of people are these?

The black-robed and white-robed Sheng Ren, still managing the formation, were stunned.

Exactly what kind of place is Da Chu?

Yan Laodao remained curious but didn't ask further.

This time, the harvest is quite big.

Long Yi and Situ Nan excitedly looked at the reincarnated individuals Ye Chen had brought, including some from Heng Yue Zong, though they were all from the Xuan generation of disciples.

We'll discuss that later.

Ye Chen glanced at Long Yi and the others with deep confusion.

How did you end up fighting Senluo Dian?

It's probably the remnants of Hua Long Zong who sought them out.

Long Yi cursed.

What a slip-up! We had no idea Hua Long Zong was a subsidiary of Senluo Dian. This is awkward.

If we'd known, we should have wiped out Hua Long Zong completely and avoided this mess.

Situ Nan scratched his head in frustration.

This lineup is no joke.

Wiping them out completely wouldn't help.

Ye Chen took a deep breath.

Since it's a subsidiary of Senluo Dian, they were bound to find out eventually. It's just a matter of time.

No big deal.

Long Yi straightened his collar.

If the star-protecting barrier falls, we still have the mountain-protecting barrier. It'll take them at least ten days to half a month to break through our immortal mountains' defenses.

I believe that.

Ye Chen smiled slightly.

But this approach isn't sustainable.

Taiyi Zhenren pondered.

There's no guarantee they won't send more forces.

We have the star domain platform. If needed, we can just escape.

Long Yi showed no sign of worry.

Don't worry, I'm always prepared with backup plans.

The barrier has fallen.

As they spoke, Yan Laodao remarked casually.

Can you borrow more power?

Ye Chen looked at Yan Laodao.

Summon the three Xing Jun again.

I can't borrow power within a month.

Yan Laodao shook his head helplessly.

The last time we borrowed from heaven for three people, it cost me merit. Even if I force it now, no one can descend.

The Senluo Dian forces had already flooded into Da Chu Xing, their faces twisted with savage, bloodthirsty cruelty.

Perhaps due to their sheer numbers or the abundance of experts, their momentum united into a single wave, making the heavens and earth tremble. Rolling killing intent, mixed with the aura of Sheng Ren, crushed every inch of the land.

The five Sheng Ren from Senluo Dian were the fastest, reaching the immortal mountains first. They tried to invade Tian Ting's immortal mountains but were blocked by the mountain-protecting barrier. Even their combined efforts couldn't shake it.

Attack for me!

Their furious shouts echoed through the heavens as the newly arrived Senluo Dian forces launched their assault.

Bang! Boom! Bang!

Da Chu Xing erupted in chaos as attacks rained down on the barrier.

Don't just stand around!

Long Yi cracked his neck and climbed to the highest peak of the mountain range.

Like him, the other Da Chu reincarnated individuals paired up or formed small teams, ascending various peaks with gleaming killing swords in hand.

Ye Chen rose into the air, gripping the Chi Xiao Sword.

Wan Jian Chao Zong!

With a thunderous roar, the Da Chu reincarnated individuals raised their swords, pointing them outward.

Instantly, thousands of swords hummed, unleashing a torrent of sword light from the Tian Ting immortal mountains.

Wow!

The black-and-white Sheng Ren managing the formation and Yan Laodao exclaimed in surprise. Tens of thousands of people were using the same secret technique, a powerful group attack, creating an overwhelmingly grand scene.

The Senluo Dian forces outside suffered heavily, caught off guard and losing several thousand in that single exchange. Bodies fell in droves, staining the sky with blood.

The Da Chu cultivators' surprise attack succeeded thanks to Long Yi's modifications to the barrier.

Normally, with a mountain-protecting barrier in place, attacks from outside couldn't enter, and those from inside couldn't exit, acting as a mutual shield.

However, Tian Ting's barrier was different. Long Yi had enhanced it with Tai Xu lineage formations, eliminating the barrier's drawbacks. External attacks still couldn't penetrate, but internal ones could strike outward—a truly dominant feature.

Senluo Dian hadn't anticipated this, leading to their devastating losses from the Wan Jian Chao Zong wave.
