Chapter 519: The Great Enemy Arrives, Intense Battle
Inside Yuan City, all the disciples of Yuan Manor stood up at this moment, their gazes filled with doubt as they looked towards the distant sky.
"Is someone attacking Yuan Manor?"
On a section of the city wall, Xiao Li and the others were also gathered, their faces serious as they stared at the sky.
"The people from the Soul Palace are here," said Elder Bing with a frown, his voice deep.
"There are many strong presences outside. This time, it seems like the Soul Palace truly intends to attack Yuan Manor," said Little Doctor Immortal, her face also showing a trace of gravity.
"Send someone to inform my third brother's Starfall Pavilion. Our two factions are in an alliance. Now that the Soul Palace is attacking Yuan Manor, they should send some strong fighters to support us," Xiao Li said in a low voice.
"I've already sent someone, but there has been no response. I suspect..." At this, Ma Chen, the elder leader of the Golden Warhorse Clan, spoke with a grim tone: "I suspect the Soul Palace has also invaded Starfall Pavilion..."
"Attacking both major forces at once, huh? The Soul Palace really has that kind of power," Xiao Li said, his face turning dark upon hearing this.
As they conversed, the situation outside became clearer to all.
"Hiss..."
When everyone saw the scene outside, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Outside Yuan Manor, thick black fog had already surrounded them like a tidal wave. Above, nearly a hundred figures stood on the black mist, floating ominously in the air.
Had Xiao Li not ordered the activation of the Nine Heavens Thunder Array, this terrifying black fog alone would have caused extreme discomfort.
The sinister gazes of the Soul Palace members seemed to pierce through the formation, staring straight at Xiao Li and the others hiding inside.
"That's the Ninth Heavenly Lord! I never expected the Soul Palace would send out such a strong figure..." Ma Chen recognized one of the leading black-robed figures and exclaimed in surprise.
"And not just him, the one beside him, if I'm not mistaken, is the Seventh Heavenly Lord," said Elder Bing, his expression changing as well.
As one of the five elders of the former Weapon Alliance, he had dealt with the Soul Palace many times and knew several of their strong members.
Hearing this, Little Doctor Immortal and the others also couldn't help but show a change in their expressions. Their eyes followed Elder Bing's gaze, and sure enough, they saw two terrifyingly powerful old men.
"To send two of the Nine Heavenly Lords... The Soul Palace is really taking us seriously. It seems the pressure on Starfall Pavilion must be equally intense," Xiao Li said, his voice as cold as ice.
"Master Xiao, what do we do now? The Soul Palace is attacking in full force, and judging by their strength, they intend to massacre Yuan Manor," one of the elders of Yuan Manor said with a trembling voice.
"What's there to panic about? Soldiers come, we fight them; water floods, we block it. With our Lord here, what is there to fear!" Xiao Li furrowed his brow and scolded. He then looked around Yuan City at the thousands of Yuan Manor disciples and spoke in a deep voice.
"All of you have been part of Yuan Manor for some time now. Today, we face an unprecedented disaster. What do you plan to do?" Xiao Li's sharp gaze turned towards the many elders of Yuan Manor.
"Master Xiao, though we haven't been part of Yuan Manor for long, the blood and sweat we've poured into it are no less than anyone else's. No matter who tries to destroy it, we will fight to the death!" The many elders' expressions became solemn as they shouted in unison.
"Good! My cousin Mo Yu has chosen well. Since that's the case, today we shall fight to the death. I want to see how far the Soul Palace dares to go!" Xiao Li's powerful declaration lifted the spirits of all the disciples of Yuan Manor.
For many of them, having joined Yuan Manor meant it had become their home. If their home was destroyed, how could they hold their heads up high in Central Continent in the future?
"Oh, so you've even set up a protective formation? But Yuan Manor's grand array won't protect you!" The Ninth Heavenly Lord's sinister gaze looked down at the massive lightning shield covering the entire city.
The lightning array emitted a terrifying aura, strong enough that ordinary experts at the Dou Zun level would likely find it hard to deal with.
But since the Soul Palace had sent so many powerful fighters, if they couldn't even break this formation, they'd lose all face in Central Continent.
With a cold sneer, the Ninth Heavenly Lord glanced at the grim old man beside him and said, "Seventh Heavenly Lord, let's break this formation together. The Eighth Heavenly Lord is attacking Starfall Pavilion with many men; we can't fall behind them.
Besides, our actions are creating too much noise. Many forces likely have spies following us. Today, we must use bloody methods to suppress Yuan Manor and show the other forces that the Soul Palace is not to be trifled with!"
Hearing this, the Seventh Heavenly Lord nodded slightly, then looked playfully at the Ninth Heavenly Lord. "I heard you suffered a big loss at the hands of that Mo Yu kid. Today, I want to see what skills he really has."
With the Ninth Heavenly Lord's face turning dark, the Seventh Heavenly Lord chuckled and then looked down at the space below. Both of them raised their palms, making a gripping motion toward the space beneath them.
Simultaneously, the Ninth Heavenly Lord also gave the Seventh Heavenly Lord a cold look before letting out a snort. His withered hand mimicked the gripping motion.
As their hands moved, a terrifying force of space expanded rapidly, and two massive invisible hands slammed onto the lightning shield.
"Break it!"
With a cold shout from the Ninth Heavenly Lord, his hand clenched tightly, and the invisible hand struck the lightning barrier with immense force.
"Boom!"
The barrier rippled violently under the blow, and the deafening roar of thunder echoed across the sky.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Following closely behind, the Seventh Heavenly Lord unleashed a ferocious storm from the sky, which rained down on the barrier like a violent downpour.
Under the fierce assault of these two nearly peak-level Dou Zuns, the lightning barrier quickly began to falter.
Within the Star Realm, all the disciples of Yuan Manor stared at the trembling lightning barrier, gripping their weapons tightly.
"The array won't hold against the two of them," Xiao Li said, his face turning grim as he watched the barrier near its breaking point.
"Don't worry. Once the Soul Palace breaks through, I'll handle the Seventh and Ninth Heavenly Lords. You just need to hold off the others," a calm voice suddenly echoed, and the thin figure that reassured Little Doctor Immortal and the others slowly appeared, hovering in mid-air.
"It's... the Lord? He's out!" The appearance of Mo Yu made the spirits of the Yuan Manor disciples soar.
As the backbone and soul of Yuan Manor, his arrival was like a powerful injection of morale, instantly raising everyone's fighting spirit.
"Lord! Lord!" Even veteran figures like Elder Bing and Ma Chen greeted him respectfully upon seeing him.
Now that the Soul Palace was launching a massive invasion, only Mo Yu could turn the tide.
"Well done, everyone." Seeing that Yuan Manor hadn't crumbled under fear but instead stood united, Mo Yu nodded in satisfaction.
Only through the trial of blood and fire could Yuan Manor grow into a truly powerful force.
Looking up, Mo Yu's gaze locked onto the trembling lightning barrier, then shifted to the sinister Ninth Heavenly Lord beyond it. A cold gleam flashed in his silver eyes.
Now that he had broken through to the three-star Dou Zun level, he wouldn't let that old ghost escape again!
"That six-star Dou Zun Heavenly Lord, I'll handle him. Let Sister Little Doctor and the others deal with the other Dou Zun experts," said Qinglin, who hesitated for a moment before glancing at the small old man behind the Ninth Heavenly Lord and speaking softly.
"Alright." Mo Yu nodded. He knew that with Qinglin's current strength, she could barely handle a six-star Dou Zun.
Little Doctor Immortal, standing nearby, was surprised as she glanced at Qinglin. It seemed that after solving her poison issue, Qinglin's strength had greatly improved.
"Open the formation, it's about to break," Mo Yu said at that moment.
Xiao Li nodded and waved his hand towards the rear.
With the command given, the barrier in the sky began to tremble and slowly dissipate. As it vanished, the sky dimmed, and the thick black fog enveloping the area came into full view, drawing closer to everyone's gaze.
In the sky, as the barrier dissipated, the Ninth Heavenly Lord let out a cold smile. His gaze pierced through the space, landing on the thin figure standing atop the mountain. His chilling voice, filled with bone-chilling coldness, echoed across the land.
"Mo Yu, I told you we'd meet again. This time, I want to see where you'll run!"
Hearing the Ninth Heavenly Lord's sinister laugh, Mo Yu remained expressionless, his figure slowly rising into the air.
Although he didn't know if the Soul Palace had more forces hidden, it was still ridiculous to think they could destroy Yuan Manor with just these people.
"So this is the Lord of Yuan Manor, Mo Yu. He's certainly young. Ninth Heavenly Lord, they say you, a seasoned fighter, once suffered a big loss at his hands. They say a setback makes you wiser. Let's hope you won't repeat your mistake this time," the Seventh Heavenly Lord remarked casually, glancing at the Ninth Heavenly Lord.
"Hmph, I don't need your reminders!" the Ninth Heavenly Lord snapped coldly, his face darkening.
Despite his words, a sinister glint flickered in his eyes as he stared at Mo Yu, who hovered in the air. With a sharp wave of his hand, he issued the order.
"Annihilate Yuan Manor!"
"Yes!"
With his shout, the Soul Palace's many strong fighters responded in unison. Their overwhelming Dou Qi surged into the sky.
With a series of sharp sounds, black chains shot out like a storm towards the Star Realm.
"Kill!"
The deafening battle cry echoed across the sky, and the once peaceful Yuan City was soon filled with a killing aura.
Hovering in the air, Mo Yu's gaze was locked onto the Ninth and Seventh Heavenly Lords.
The Soul Palace fighters who approached within ten meters of him instinctively veered away, aiming instead for the interior of Yuan City.
"Kid, this time, I'll personally capture you and bring you back to the Soul Palace. Then, you'll understand what it truly means to wish for death!" The Ninth Heavenly Lord's face was twisted with hatred and malice as he stomped down in the air, charging straight at Mo Yu.
As the Ninth Heavenly Lord attacked, the Seventh Heavenly Lord watched with interest, showing no intention of intervening.
Seeing this, Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, realizing that the relationships within the Soul Palace's Heavenly Lords weren't as harmonious as they appeared.
With this thought flashing through his mind, Mo Yu activated his Thunder Wings and Thunder Armor as the Ninth Heavenly Lord closed in.
"Boom!"
Now that Mo Yu had advanced to the six-star Dou Zun level, his confrontation with the Ninth Heavenly Lord was like two meteors colliding.
The terrifying aftermath of Dou Qi spread out from the sky, shaking the surrounding mountains so violently that massive boulders tumbled down.
At this moment, Mo Yu and the Ninth Heavenly Lord were clashing head-on.
He was no longer the one-star Dou Zun of the past. With his newly acquired Thunder Body, he had reached the six-star Dou Zun level.
Even though the Ninth Heavenly Lord was an eight-star Dou Zun, Mo Yu now had the strength to fight him head-on, no longer needing to be cautious of every move.
The one who felt this the most was the Ninth Heavenly Lord himself.
The more they fought, the more shocked he became.
In just one year, the young man who once injured him with a sneak attack had grown strong enough to fight him directly!
"It hasn't been long since we last met, and this kid's strength has improved again. If this keeps up, the next time we meet, I won't be his match."
Feeling Mo Yu's rapid progress, the Ninth Heavenly Lord's heart surged with both shock and fury.
Filled with murderous intent, the Ninth Heavenly Lord's attacks became even fiercer. His vast Dou Qi, like a massive flood, rushed through his meridians before erupting.
Noticing the sudden sharp increase in the Ninth Heavenly Lord's offensive, Mo Yu smirked coldly.
A six-star Dou Zun fighting an eight-star Dou Zun—this time, I have the advantage!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the sky, the two figures flickered like ghosts, and each time they clashed, a thunderous explosion followed.
Violent energy storms continuously spread out, reverberating through the heavens like muffled thunder. The intensity of the battle left onlookers in awe.
Meanwhile, inside Yuan City, the sound of battle echoed everywhere.
The sinister black mist filled the air, and groups of Yuan Manor disciples fought together. While they couldn't match the Soul Palace fighters individually, their numbers gave them an advantage, making it hard for even these powerful foes to gain the upper hand.
As for Qinglin, Little Doctor Immortal, and the others, they had all joined the fray. The Soul Palace had brought many strong fighters, each one a fierce opponent, so even Little Doctor Immortal had to give her all.
As all the members of Yuan Manor fought fiercely, something subtle happened in the rear mountain of the city.
The neck of Qing Zhi, who lay motionless on a stone platform with his eyes closed, suddenly twitched slightly.
In that instant, the space around the rear mountain cracked with a sharp sound, shattering into countless fragments of space.
