Chapter 265: Immortal Technique, Heaven and Earth Overturned
"Grand Elder, it seems that the members of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance have split into several groups, heading to other cities. There are probably few currently remaining in Flowing Water City," the Third Elder said, looking towards Lu Xiuzhu and Lu Chuan.
Zhang Yuanliu also showed a hint of rumination but soon dismissed the idea, shaking his head. "Focus all efforts on activating the teleportation array, do not cause further trouble. Although these few Divine Core stage and Dao Foundation stage ants are easy to eliminate, I fear that that white-robed young Daoist is still in Flowing Water City. I sensed that the aura of the Patriarch of our Zhang Clan has been completely extinguished, likely at his hands."
But as things turned out, the more one feared something, the more likely it was to occur.
As a dazzling cyan streak of light pierced across the sky and descended, a handsome Daoist in a snow-white robe emerged, his black hair tied at the back with a white jade band. His eyes were cool and clear as he gazed at the ancient teleportation array.
"Supreme Spirit Master!"
Lu XIuzhu and the others felt reassured, bowing respectfully in unison.
Zhang Yuanliu and the others had a slight shift in their expressions, their eyes filled with intense wariness as they stared at Xu Disheng.
When the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation was broken, even though they were far away in the center of Flowing Water City, they still saw the Blackwater Yin Lightning ravaging the northern half of the city. Many Zhang Clan members had perished in the lightning before they could react and met instant death.
The remaining Zhang Clan members in the city varied in cultivation base, but were mostly at the Dao Foundation stage and Sea of Qi stages. Quite a few were even at the Cleansed Meridians stage. They gathered tightly around the teleportation array, their eyes showing determination.
“Without the protection of the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation, the other cities are probably now in ruins, given their Divine Core realm defenders have already come to in Flowing Water City,” Zhang Yuanliu sighed, seemingly picturing the brutal and cruel acts of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance members in those cities.
A beautiful Dao Foundation realm girl in green robes, stepped forward, her eyes still wet with tears. “Grand Elder, that young Daoist leading them is merely at the early Divine Core stage. Why should we fear these few Divine Core realm cultivators? With such a deep-seated enmity, how can we not seek vengeance?”
"Yuexi, vengeance is surely due. But it will be up to you and Zhang Liuyun to avenge us in the future. Remember, you few are the last hope of our Zhang Clan.”
Over the years as the Grand Elder of the Zhang Clan, Zhang Yuanliu, had engaged in many sordid disputes and power struggles with the clan head, Zhang Liusheng. But now, he displayed a liberated smile, seemingly prepared to die for his clan in this time of crisis.
"Grand Elder!" The other elders, their faces filled with sorrow, watched as Zhang Yuanliu’s half-step Primordial Spirit stage aura grew increasingly intense, until finally, he transformed into a blazing ball of fiery red flames!
Within the roaring red flames, Zhang Yuanliu, his face solemn, commanded, "Strive with all your might to activate the teleportation array! I will hold off these scoundrels of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance!"
The tens of thousands of Zhang Clan members looked up at the awe-inspiring figure of Zhang Yuanliu. Filled with grief and anger, they shouted in unison, "Grand Elder!"
"Grand Elder!"
Endless willpower converged, bolstering Zhang Yuanliu’s blazing aura to a towering level!
"To the death with you!"
In exchange for an unparalleled surge of profound qi, Zhang Yuanliu completely burned his Divine Core, which was already showing signs of a shadow of a Primordial Spirit. Thousands of intense flames rose, sweeping towards Xu Díshēng and others!
The scarlet flames seemed to paint half of the sky red. Zhang Yuanliu’s spell was targeted directly at Xu Disheng and the others in a desperate attempt to annihilate them!
In his snow-white robe, Xu Disheng remained still in mid-air, watching the approaching endless red flames. With a slight flick of his sleeve, he calmly said, "A firefly's light daring to compete with the bright moon? Supreme Scripture, Scarlet Moon."
At that moment, the Supreme Scripture, the strongest cultivation method of the Spirit Race, finally revealed its might.
Endless Spiritual Force swirled and surged, and the phantom image of the Supreme Ancient Bell appeared behind Xu Díshēng's head. Golden dazzling light radiated, and a blood moon engulfed in blazing flames gradually formed in the sky above Flowing Water City, suppressing the fierce flames surrounding Zhang Yuanliu.
Suddenly, the blazing blood moon seemed to grow larger, almost covering the entire sky above Flowing Water City!
"No! It’s not the burning blood moon growing larger! It's coming towards us!" a Divine Core stage Elder of the Zhang Clan exclaimed, his face dramatically changing as he pointed at the rapidly approaching flaming blood moon.
Zhang Yuanliu barely managed to raise his head, only to see a blood moon ablaze with crimson flames almost directly overhead. Engulfed by the rampant red flames, he had no time to react and was completely buried in the sea of fire.
The members of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance behind Xu Disheng were left shaken, fearfully gazing at the sea of fire that Flowing Water City had become. When they looked at Xu Disheng, their eyes were filled with an even deeper awe.
"Supreme Spirit Master's divine might will surely overshadow all others on the Divine Core stage Daoist Ranking!" The first to recover his composure, Lu Xiuzhu shouted praise, his voice filled with excitement.
"The Supreme Spirit Master will surely top the Daoist Ranking!" The others echoed, not wanting to be left behind in their praises.
Xu Disheng, however, did not look at them. Instead, his gaze lingered on the center of the blazing red inferno, his expression inscrutable.
A violent spatial fluctuation spread out, revealing the ancient teleportation array, now covered by a solid white light barrier. Several Zhang Clan Divine Core stage elders and the genius Zhang Yuexi were standing at the center of the array's intricate patterns, their expressions filled with grief as they gazed at the endless sea of fire.
Lu Chuan’s face changed drastically as he exclaimed urgently, "This is bad! The ancient teleportation array has its own protective capabilities and is now fully activated. The remaining members of the Zhang Clan are about to escape!"
Lu Xiuzhu also looked anxious as he shouted, "It isn’t a major issue, but if the remnants of the Zhang Clan escape, it will surely lower the Supreme Spirit Master's merit rating on the Daoist Ranking!"
The green-robed girl, Zhang Yuexi, stared at Xu Disheng with eyes full of hatred. She said bitterly, "Scum of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance, you are nothing more than heartless beasts in human form! When I return one day, I will grind you all to pieces!"
As her words reached their ears, the ancient teleportation array erupted with unparalleled teleportation power, enveloping the figures standing on it and causing their forms to blur. In the next moment, they were about to leave the Dawndusk Realm for a brighter future.
Xu Disheng shook his head. The gaze he leveled at Zhang Yuexi was similar to the look one would give a clown. A strand of violet Immortal qi swirled in his palm, then faded away.
In a low voice, he muttered, "Immortal Technique, Heaven and Earth Overturned."
