Chapter 5780
The disciples of the Demonic Sect, wielding various corrupted magical artifacts, unleashed countless ferocious, roaring vengeful spirits, forming a sky-covering, demonic cloud of ghostly shadows that attempted to devour and corrupt the sword light.
The collision of demonic energy and sword energy produced deafening roars and explosions, energy storms sweeping in all directions, tearing deep, bottomless ravines into the dark red earth of the Crimson Blood Plain.
The battle was brutal from the very beginning.
Lower-ranking disciples fell in droves like mowing grass, their blood instantly staining the ground red, limbs and severed bodies flying everywhere.
The elders and deacons of the Celestial Immortal Realm also quickly found their opponents, engaging in one-on-one combat.
Sword energy ripped through the sky, demonic flames surged, the light from clashing magical artifacts illuminated the dim sky, roars, screams, explosions, and the clang of metal mingled together, composing a bloody and cruel symphony of war.
The entire Crimson Blood Plain seemed to have transformed into a giant meat grinder, with lives being extinguished every moment.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes of this fierce battle, Kai was hidden in an extremely concealed void at the edge of the battlefield.
The space around him was slightly distorted, forming a perfect visual and sensory barrier, completely isolating him from all aura, energy fluctuations, and even his presence.
He was like a transcendent god, or the most composed spectator, quietly overlooking the battlefield below, where flesh and blood flew and energy surged.
Initially, when Kai saw the two armies collide like two surging torrents, unleashing a tremendous energy shock, a barely perceptible look of amazement flashed in his eyes.
“The scale is quite large. The collision of sword energy and demonic energy has already approached the strength of an Upper Immortal.”
“Tenth Heaven cultivators do have unique skills in the application of power and the coordination of battle formations.”
As the battle continued, seeing disciples from both sides fall like mowing grass, their blood staining the earth, Kai’s eyes gradually returned to a calm, still gaze, even carrying a hint of indifference.
“War, wherever it may be, is inherently cruel and ugly.” “The struggle for resources, the clash of ideologies, the pursuit of self-interest… ultimately all come down to lives.”
“These cultivators may have their own stances and beliefs, but in the face of death, they appear so equal and insignificant.”
When he saw a Celestial Immortal elder from the Xuantian Sword Sect use a superb “Splitting Light and Shadow Sword” technique to kill three demonic sect deacons of the same rank, only to be severely injured and cough up blood due to the backlash of the demonic power, Kai’s gaze lingered for a moment.
“The swordsmanship is not bad, but it is too focused on sharpness, and the defense is slightly lacking. Moreover, it seems that there are old injuries that have not yet healed when circulating mana?”
“It seems that the Xuantian Sword Sect is not a monolithic entity, and there may be some problems within it.”
Kai was now like a chess player observing chess pieces, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, preparing for possible variables later.
Meanwhile, on the side of the Myriad Souls Demonic Sect, an elder summoned a Myriad Souls Banner, summoning tens of thousands of fierce souls to form a ghost domain, temporarily trapping a group of sword cultivators and subjecting them to cruel soul devouring. Kai’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.
“Soul-refining and spirit-seizing are against the natural order. Such methods certainly deserve to be punished. However, judging from the laws and moral standards of this realm, perhaps this is just the norm for demonic cultivation?”
Kai’s expression remained largely unchanged, mostly displaying the demeanor of an extremely calm observer.
He silently calculated the attrition of both sides, assessed the limits of strength of those Celestial Immortal realm experts, and deduced the possible development of the battle.
“Let them fight, the more intense the better, the more exhausted the better. Only when both sides are severely weakened, or one side achieves a Pyrrhic victory, can the Myriad Beasts Sect gain a real chance to breathe, or even… reap the benefits.”
Kai revealed a cold smile.
The battle lasted for several days, with both sides paying an extremely heavy price. The number of Celestial Immortal realm elders who had fallen exceeded ten, and their disciples were also killed or wounded in droves.
In the end, the flames of war inevitably spread to the core area of the Crimson Blood Plain, the outskirts of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect headquarters.
