Chapter 204 The Second Demon Sect, Tiansheng Sect

Chapter 204: The Second Demonic Sect, Heavenly Saint Sect

Rift Sky Strait.

The war between the two Imperial Dynasties continued.

On the Piaomiao Dynasty’s side, the senile Old General was stationed at the front line, watching his own soldiers constantly decrease, with casualty numbers still expanding, his heart bled.

“Why does the Scarlet Flame Holy Dynasty have so many high-level Cultivators? The Spells they use and the Magic Treasures they wield are all extraordinary, clearly not ordinary Loose Cultivators, but from a School with a lineage. Could it be that a Sect-level power has made a move?”

The Old General murmured in the military camp, feeling a sense of powerlessness.

Although he was a Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator, under the attention of three enemy Cultivators of the same Realm, he dared not act rashly. He could only watch helplessly as the battlefield situation worsened. This was not a gap in tactics, but a disparity in lineup.

Under normal circumstances, there might be differences between the three secular Imperial Dynasties, but the number of high-level Cultivators was similar. A war that could dispatch one Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator, five Nascent Soul Cultivators, and a hundred Golden Core Cultivators was already a very fierce clash.

But now… the number of high-level Cultivators in the Scarlet Flame Holy Dynasty has more than doubled.

There were three Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators, as many as ten Nascent Soul Cultivators, and over three hundred Golden Core Cultivators. With such a disparity in power, no matter how good the tactics, they could not be implemented and would be crushed on contact.

They had reason to suspect that a Sect-level power was behind the Scarlet Flame Holy Dynasty.

The Old General clutched a Talisman, transmitting the message back to the Imperial City via a water mirror Spell, and stated his conjecture.

Emperor Zhangwu sat silently in the Imperial Palace.

All the civil and military officials also looked ashen.

If it was truly a Sect-level power making a move, then the Piaomiao Dynasty would be finished. They had only just recuperated for two months and were already targeted again. Who exactly did the Piaomiao Dynasty offend to suffer repeated calamities, now on the verge of being invaded?

Although this crisis was not comparable to the Yao Race trial, if not handled properly, the world would change hands, conflicts would erupt, and the hard-won stable situation would once again collapse, entering an era of war.

“Can you confirm which force made the move?”

The Old General hesitated, saying, “I suspect it is the Heavenly Saint Sect, because most of the additional high-level Cultivators are fire Cultivators. But they are different from ordinary fire Cultivators; in battle, they completely display a fearless attitude.”

As soon as these words came out.

The court instantly fell silent.

The Heavenly Saint Sect, the second-ranked Demonic Sect among the Ten Demonic Sects, its status was even above the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and Tianxuan Holy Land. It believed that “all things are illusory, only embers are eternal.” Everyone in the Sect was a madman with extreme destructive tendencies, capable of destroying a city with a karmic fire while chatting and laughing. More importantly, they did these things not to seize resources or Cultivate Demonic Techniques, but simply to “purify” the world. To let everything return to eternal silence and ashes.

Its style of doing things harmed others without benefiting itself, making it a true Demonic Sect. Even within the Demonic Path, there were many criticisms, calling it a troublemaker.

Facing such a behemoth, let alone the Piaomiao Dynasty, even if the three secular Imperial Dynasties combined, they could not shake a single hair on it.

“Your Majesty, we can invite the Saint.”

An official suggested.

Emperor Zhangwu shook his head, “During such a critical period, Tianxuan Holy Land may not be willing to let the Saint descend the mountain and take risks. Moreover, if the Heavenly Saint Sect is truly behind the Scarlet Flame Holy Dynasty, then even if the Saint makes a move, it will be useless. He won’t be able to drive them away, and it will instead bring great danger to the Saint.”

The officials looked at each other, speechless.

They knew this truth, but the current crisis could only be resolved by the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son. In their hearts, the image of the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son was too magnificent. They subconsciously believed that as long as Jiang Li made a move, all difficulties would be resolved.

But… His Majesty was right.

No matter how powerful the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son was, he could not sway the choice of the Second Demonic Sect. Instead, he would be treated as prey, especially during this period. The name of the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son had spread throughout the Cultivation World. The Demon Clan Royal Court was enraged and publicly offered a reward, attracting the covetous gazes of many Soul Transformation powerhouses. Descending the mountain would definitely not be a wise move.

In other words, this disaster could only be overcome by themselves.

Just then.

The Old General suddenly cried out in surprise.

As if he had seen a spectacular scene.

“Heaven blesses Piaomiao, he has arrived.”

“Who has arrived?”

The ministers pricked up their ears to listen.

They wondered: whose arrival could make an Old General, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and whose Cultivation had reached the Peak of Nascent Soul, so excited? Could it be reinforcements? But unless a Transformation God True Lord personally arrived, the current predicament could not be resolved.

“It’s the Saint, the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son has arrived!”

The sound stopped abruptly.

But these few short words instantly silenced the court far away in the Imperial City, and everyone showed expressions of ecstasy.

Heavenly Mystery Holy Son, their own father!

…At the same time.

A golden pillar of light, piercing through the heavens and earth, broke through the sky, and Jiang Li’s figure slowly descended. His Emperor’s aura was fully unleashed, and a circle of golden ripples spread out beneath his feet. Dragon Qi materialized from the void, seemingly transforming into a true Dragon roaring in the world.

On the battlefield, regardless of friend or foe, everyone felt their magical power instantly stagnate and their Souls tremble. They involuntarily stopped their movements, either in fear, awe, or stupefaction, looking up at the phenomenon that connected heaven and earth. Some Golden Core Cultivators, unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth, tried to extend their Divine Sense, but before it could even get close, their Divine Sense was shattered. They groaned, blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths, their eyes filled with terror.

What a terrifying existence.

Just looking directly at him exhausted all their courage, and they dared not look a second time. Their backs even stooped down. The lower their Cultivation, the more uncontrollably they knelt, as if silently worshipping a monarch.

The Old General saw it clearly.

This figure descending from the flowing golden sky was none other than Jiang Li, the Heavenly Mystery Holy Son, whose name had been causing a stir recently, nicknamed “Invincible Jiang.”

He exclaimed, “Only names can be wrong, not nicknames.”

Jiang Li did not speak.

He didn’t even make any unnecessary movements.

His mere presence, the Imperial aura he exuded, and his identity verification, were enough to force this warring battlefield into a standstill.

No one moved, all looking up. The scene fell into absolute silence.

Jiang Li secretly clicked his tongue: What is presence? This is presence. Just his appearance was enough to silence both sides and make them act according to his expression.

Until… the three Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Scarlet Flame Holy Dynasty regained their senses, their eyes filled with both panic and covetousness.

One of them stepped forward.

He was clad in heavy armor, his face sinister and eccentric, holding a blood-colored saber. His Peak Nascent Soul Cultivation erupted without concealment, and the words he spoke made the soldiers on the battlefield tremble. Even the soldiers in his own camp’s eyelids twitched.

“Heavenly Mystery Holy Son, what is the meaning of this? This is a war between our Scarlet Flame Holy Dynasty and the Piaomiao Dynasty. When did it become the turn of a Sect to interfere? Your Tianxuan Holy Land is breaking the rules like this, is this the so-called Righteous Path’s style?”

Jiang Li was slightly surprised to hear this.

Who was this person?

So brave.

If it were the Body Refinement Method, he might actually ponder for a moment.

But now, the one controlling the body was the Body Refining Method.

Such words would only be taken as a provocation.

Sure enough.

The next second.

The System’s notification sound suddenly rang out.

【Ding, the Cultivation Technique “Imperial World-Shocking Divine Art” frowns. What Scarlet Flame, what Piaomiao, they are all My territory. Speaking ill and attempting to divide My territory, I will exterminate his nine… ten generations.】

“Are you teaching me how to do things?”

Jiang Li spoke.

Terrifying Imperial pressure poured down.

The Nascent Soul Reverend immediately felt an even more terrifying pressure than before weighing on him, as if he was carrying thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. It made him gasp for breath, his face flushed, his teeth clenched, but he still couldn’t resist the pressure. Under the gaze of all, half of his body slammed down to one knee.
