Chapter 111: The Huntian Sect's Supreme Elder Takes Action

Chapter 111: The Huntian Sect's Supreme Elder Takes Action

The heavens and earth trembled with deafening roars.

Like rolling thunder, the void shattered as terrifying auras erupted from all directions. Shockwaves surged, shaking the earth and splitting the ground apart. Ancient trees were obliterated, and boulders turned to dust.

Dazzling flashes of light exploded across the sky, outshining the setting sun—both magnificent and brutal!

Chen Feng's entire body tingled with shock, his heart overwhelmed, yet his eyes gleamed with unwavering focus.

The four Dao Integration Realm experts from the Heavenly Arms Sect were locked in desperate combat. Each of them faced two Huntian Sect Dao Integration Realm cultivators simultaneously, struggling bitterly as they were gradually overpowered.

The eight Dao Integration Realm experts from the Huntian Sect showed no mercy.

Daring to target the Huntian Sect's Sect Heir? They were simply courting death.

Though Dao Integration Realm cultivators possessed immense strength, killing one was no easy feat. Yet, the eight Huntian Sect experts were determined to annihilate their foes, especially with their two-on-one advantage, suppressing them completely.

In the distance, a figure silently materialized.

"Eight Dao Integration Realm experts?! What the—" Diyuanzi stared at the fierce battle unfolding, his face twisted in fury as he sensed the overwhelming killing intent and power. He cursed under his breath repeatedly.

He had followed in secret, hoping to witness Chen Feng's demise—or even step in as a last resort.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect the Huntian Sect to have eight Dao Integration Realm guardians lurking in the shadows.

Even the Saint Sons of the three sacred lands wouldn’t have eight Dao Integration Realm protectors when traveling—two at most, maybe three if pushed.

As for Saint Realm experts?

Such beings would never stoop to serving as mere guardians. At least, there had never been such a precedent in the Eastern Wasteland.

Eight Dao Integration Realm guardians!

Diyuanzi knew then that the Heavenly Arms Sect's ambush had failed. Whether the four Dao Integration Realm experts could even survive was now uncertain.

Yet, he couldn’t blame the Heavenly Arms Sect.

Sending four Dao Integration Realm experts to kill a mere Aperture Opening Realm cultivator was already overkill—like using a dragon-slaying blade to slaughter a chicken.

Could he really demand the Heavenly Arms Sect send all their Dao Integration Realm experts?

Not only would he never dare ask, but the sect would also refuse.

The only thing to blame was the Huntian Sect’s absurdity.

Eight Dao Integration Realm guardians!

Who would believe it without seeing it? Who would dare believe it?

As for himself, he could only watch. If he intervened, he might end up dead too.

The battle finally reached its conclusion.

Despite their desperate efforts, the four Heavenly Arms Sect experts couldn’t escape.

The Huntian Sect’s foundation had always surpassed the Heavenly Arms Sect’s, and their experts were typically stronger even at the same cultivation level. With a two-on-one advantage, letting any of them escape would have been humiliating.

Of course, it also helped that the Huntian Sect’s eight experts were utterly ruthless, sealing off all escape routes.

Otherwise, a Dao Integration Realm cultivator could always find a way to flee.

The four Heavenly Arms Sect experts died in bitter frustration.

Without a word to Chen Feng, the eight Dao Integration Realm experts vanished once more, their presence undetectable.

"Thank you, esteemed seniors." Chen Feng bowed deeply in all directions, his heart filled with gratitude.

Eight guardians!

The Huntian Sect values me so highly.

An indescribable excitement lingers in my heart, and my sense of belonging to the Huntian Sect soars.

"No need for formalities."

"You are our Sect Heir, possessing heaven-defying talent. No matter how much we value you, it is never excessive. However, remember this—do not grow arrogant and reckless by relying on us, nor should you cower in fear. Though our Huntian Sect has declined, we are not to be provoked lightly."

A deep, resonant voice echoed from all directions, reverberating before fading into silence.

"This disciple will remember," Chen Feng responded solemnly.

Yang Tao consumed medicinal pills to heal his injuries, recovering only by dawn. Then, summoning a sword light, he carried Chen Feng as they soared toward the Great Xia Kingdom.

...

Huntian Sacred Mountain.

Huntian Palace.

"The Heavenly Arms Sect actually sent four Dao Integration Realm experts to ambush Chen Feng? Such audacity!"

"The Heavenly Arms Sect is ambitious, eager to replace our Huntian Sect. We initially had no intention of dealing with them now, but since they dared to send four Dao Integration Realm cultivators to assassinate our Sect Heir, we must settle this score."

The elders raged, their terrifying auras surging, obliterating everything in their wake.

"Sect Leader, grant us permission to act. We must make the Heavenly Arms Sect pay!"

"Sect Leader, give the order! Though our Huntian Sect has declined, we are not to be trifled with by a mere Heavenly Arms Sect!"

"Indeed, it's time to remind the Eastern Wasteland that our Huntian Sect is not to be provoked. Otherwise, after lying dormant for so long, even the lowest of creatures will dare to challenge us."

Yet, Tuoba Wuxiang did not respond immediately. He pondered.

"The Heavenly Arms Sect is ambitious, but not foolish enough to provoke us directly. There must be a reason behind this," Tuoba Wuxiang said calmly. "Nine out of ten times, the Tianyuan Sacred Land is pulling the strings. If we openly attack the Heavenly Arms Sect, the Tianyuan Sacred Land may intervene."

The elders fell silent.

The Heavenly Arms Sect was insignificant, but the Tianyuan Sacred Land was not.

Even at the peak of the Huntian Sect's power, they could only contend with the Tianyuan Sacred Land, never surpassing them. Now, with the Huntian Sect's decline, the gap was even wider. Though the Tianyuan Sacred Land was no longer as mighty as before, it still far outmatched the Huntian Sect.

"Are we to let this go, then?" an elder growled in frustration.

"Of course not..." A faint smile crossed Tuoba Wuxiang's face as he stood. "We cannot act openly, but what if only one person intervenes?"

The elders were stunned, puzzled.

"I will request a Supreme Elder to take action," Tuoba Wuxiang said with a smile.

The elders stirred with excitement.

The Huntian Sect had elders, and above them—Supreme Elders.

What defined a Supreme Elder?

Saint Realm!

Only those at the Saint Realm could hold the title of Supreme Elder.

Normally, the Supreme Elders remained in seclusion, emerging only for matters of grave importance.

Not long after Tuoba Wuxiang departed, a figure materialized deep within Huntian Sacred Mountain, transforming into a streak of crimson light that shot into the sky.

Midair, the crimson light paused briefly, revealing a faint silhouette within.

The figure seemed to gauge its direction before unleashing blinding speed, streaking toward Heavenly Arms City.

Fast—unbelievably fast.

The speed was extreme, indescribable—gone in the blink of an eye.

In no time at all, that streak of crimson light arrived at Heavenly Arms City, bypassing it entirely to appear directly above the Heavenly Arms Sect.

Within the Heavenly Arms Sect, the armored and burly figure of the Heavenly Arms Sect Leader was gripped by waves of unease. Not long ago, the soul lamps of the four elders sent to ambush Chen Feng had all extinguished.

This was nearly impossible.

To ambush a mere Aperture Opening Realm cultivator—a Dao Integration Realm expert could snuff out such a target ten or a hundred times over with a mere breath. How could anything go wrong?

Even if there were guardians, so what?

There were four Dao Integration Realm elders!

Could it be... that Chen Feng had more than four guardians?

That seemed utterly implausible.

The Heavenly Arms Sect Leader would never have guessed that Chen Feng didn’t have four guardians—but eight.

Had he known, he would never have been foolish enough to agree to Diyuanzi of the Tianyuan Sacred Land’s demands.

A crushing sense of foreboding hammered at his heart. The more he thought, the more wrong it felt. He immediately ordered the sect’s Protective Formation to be activated.

A resonant hum filled the air as countless runes lit up across the Heavenly Arms Sect, releasing an unfathomably profound aura. In an instant, the glowing symbols enveloped the entire sect.

Within the formation, illusory images of blades, spears, swords, and halberds materialized, swirling like a deadly tide.

Not only did it possess astonishing defensive capabilities, but it also held the power to counterattack and slay intruders.

With the Protective Formation now active, the Heavenly Arms Sect Leader’s tension eased slightly.

At least there was some semblance of safety.

After all, the Heavenly Arms Sect’s Protective Formation had been meticulously crafted—even a Saint Realm powerhouse would struggle to breach it.

BOOM!

A deafening explosion erupted, sending shockwaves rippling outward like stellar rings.

The Heavenly Arms Sect Leader’s momentary relief shattered. His heart lurched, and his eyes blazed with alarm beneath his visor. In a flash, he appeared outside the grand hall.

Simultaneously, figures radiating formidable auras emerged beside him, their gazes locked onto the sky.

Through the Protective Formation, they saw a crimson figure standing mid-air, exuding an overwhelming, tyrannical presence—as if a fragment of the heavens had collapsed.

An unparalleled, scorching heat radiated from the crimson figure, distorting the surrounding void.

Even through the formation, that terrifying heat sent shivers down the spines of the Heavenly Arms Sect’s experts.

"Who are you? Why attack our Protective Formation?" the Heavenly Arms Sect Leader roared.

"The Heavenly Arms Sect dared to ambush our Sect Heir. Today, you perish," a domineering voice rang out from the crimson figure.

Then—it struck again.

A crimson palm imprint, a hundred meters wide, materialized in the sky. It seemed forged from endless flames, wreathed in scarlet light and entwined with countless runes, exuding a devastating heat and divine might capable of shattering heaven and earth.

The Protective Formation, capable of withstanding the full-force assault of a peak Dao Integration Realm expert, flared brilliantly under the crimson palm’s descent.

The first strike just now didn't use much power, allowing the Protective Formation to withstand it. But this time, far greater strength was unleashed.

The runes on the Protective Formation shattered one after another, and the phantom images of blades, spears, swords, and halberds collapsed in an instant. The entire formation was directly obliterated.

An indescribable terror surged like a bursting flood from the hearts of the Heavenly Arms Sect Leader and the elders, reaching the peak of horror.

A single strike shattered the Protective Formation!

Such strength was absolutely not at the Dao Integration Realm.

Saint Realm!

The Huntian Sect had actually sent a Saint Realm expert for revenge.

In that moment, the Heavenly Arms Sect Leader's face beneath his visor turned deathly pale.

Above, the Crimson Figure showed no signs of stopping after blasting apart the Protective Formation with a single palm strike. It raised its hand once more, unleashing another devastating blow.

A terrifying palm imprint, carrying a force capable of annihilating and incinerating everything in its path, descended with overwhelming might.

"Ancestor, we beg for your intervention!" The Heavenly Arms Sect Leader immediately crushed a jade slip and roared.

Boom!

An immensely powerful aura erupted from the depths of the Heavenly Arms Sect, soaring into the heavens with unparalleled sharpness, capable of piercing through all obstacles.
