Chapter 480: The Appearance

"Does the three of you really intend to continue this?"
The 5 pressurizing spiritual wills smashed across the crippled city walls like a huge tsunami wave. The pressure started to grow and finally, it became unbearable.
"We will remain loyal forever!"
Superior Wu Zun started to laugh to himself. Even though they were on the losing end, together with Qian Huanyi and the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards, there were no visible injuries on them.
"Since that is so, it is only fate that the three of you will be reduced to ashes today!"
The Sage from the Evil Divine Sect heaved a huge sigh and swept the surroundings with his spiritual will. "We have enough blood sacrifice now. How about activating the array?"
"Since the Imperial Court is brazenly resisting our attacks, they must have something planned out!"
The Sage from the Divine Lotus Cult was the only female there. Unknowingly, she began to examine the Sage from the Evil Divine Sect.
"If that is so, then what should we do?"
The Sage from the Evil Divine Sect felt a little affected. Ever since the episode at the Changli Hollows, he constantly felt as though this lady was picking on him or testing him. Perhaps, she was suspecting that he might have hidden a secret inheritance from the hollows.
He was unfortunate! Until now, there were only 5 portions of Sage Changli's inheritance and none of it was in his possession!
"From my observations, I believe that the Imperial Court is not totally against us opening the passage to the Demonic Heart Realm. They must have something in place already, for instance, the heavenly array described in Sage Changli's inheritance..."
The Ancient One joined the conversation. "It's a pity that we do not have the complete inheritance. Otherwise, we will be able to perfect Sage Changli's 6 and 9 Arrays!"
"Although we might not be able to perfect it, it is still almost impossible for them to stop us."
Li Qingmian continued. "Let's not bother about the Imperial Court. As soon as we open the doors, we shall leave everything to fate. By then, do you think the Imperial Court will be able to go against us? What do you think, Sage Baize?"
"Alright!"
Sage Baize who remained silent all the while finally spoke as he nodded his head.
"Alright!"
"Alright!"
In an instant, 4 Sages had come to a consensus. Lord Yin of the Divine Lotus Cult sighed and remained silent.
...
"It's beginning!"
Fang Yuan shuddered and his hair stood on its ends.
In the sky, dark clouds started to gather and purple streaks of lightning flashed across the sky.
This was a sign that the will of the realm was awakening; it was ready to strike anytime.
"The heavens are enraged! The three Sages of Da Qian, if any of you are looking to go all out to prevent the arrival of the Demonic Heart Realm, this is your chance!"
Under the rage of the heavens, even a 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master could only step aside. Everyone made way for the 8 Sages.
"Rumble! Rumble!"
The skies turned a dark violet. The streaks of lightning blended in with the clouds before unleashing a heavenly bolt of lightning with the power to split the earth!
This was true power with the potential to destroy worlds!
Before such a destructive power, the secret technique of the 8 Gates Sword Array was nothing.
"The heavenly will of Da Qian is... too strong!"
Fang Yuan's pupils contracted as he remained dazed.
Such a powerful will of the realm was born from the collective lifeforms living in the realm, akin to being programmed in a specific way like an artificial intelligence and there was nothing one could do about it.
For instance, the will of Planet Earth Realm could not even activate its own tribulations to deal with the high-tiered cultivators when they turned rebellious against the realm.
However, it seemed as though the will of Da Qian had already broken through these limitations and was much more adaptable than what it was expected to be.
"Kacha!"
As soon as the will of the realm struck, a devastating violet streak of lightning with a green hue struck towards the 5 dream masters of the allied forces.
"It's too early for the realm to fight back!"
The Ancient One started to predict and frowned at the same time. "Lord Yin, Baize, Evil Divine... Continue the activation of the array. Demon Killing Divine Pen and I should be enough to deal with this!"
"Rumble!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, the two clouds above the sages started to grow, covering the entire sky, including the violet streak of lightning.
"Kacha!"
5 streaks of lightning landed on the protective clouds, forcing them to dissipate. With a loud exclamation, the 2 Sages continued to transfer colourful energy to restore the clouds. In that instant, they had momentarily held off the attack, dispersing the bolts of lightning in the process.
"Hehe... the both of them are indeed powerful sages to be able to hold of such a powerful strike without getting injured!"
Fang Yuan continuously retreated as he stared at Lord Yin and the 2 other Sages.
Beneath the clouds they were sitting on, the roar of dragons emerged from the earth meridians. There was a fearful force coming from the roars.
"6 Extremes Earth Shattering, rise!"
With that shout, a mysterious glow of light flew out from the hands of the 3 Sages, fusing together above the Jade Capital.
"Roar! Roar!"
The earth dragons flipped around and an earthquake of 10 on the Richter Scale rumbled. The nodes of the realm shook violently and took up the form of 6 giant earthly dragons. The dragons roared before rushing out from the surface of the earth, gathering above the Jade Capital.
"Kacha!"
"Rumble!"
Streaks of lightning zipped around the sky and blood rain started to pour.
The heavens were enraged enough for blood to pour from the skies!
Even more lightning erupted from the skies and heavenly violet lightning struck down. Even the protective clouds could not recover in time and was being forced away.
Fang Yuan shuddered at the sight of such exasperation from the will of the realm. He knew that other than Sages, if anyone were to be caught in such a situation, they would undoubtedly be killed.
"Roar! Roar!"
The 6 dragons stretched over 20 miles. After diving into the ground, they all gained the vibes of a true dragon. All 6 of them swiped their claws in mid-air as though they had caught something.
A mysterious and huge force seemed to have been pulled out from the Jade Capital. The force had a purple hue as it gathered above the capital.
"This is... the natural source of the realm!"
Fang Yuan's expression changed.
The 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array was completed!
"They are indeed powerful sages! 3 of them are activating the array while 2 others are resisting the heavenly tribulations. In fact, they were still able to watch over the actions of the Imperial Court while doing all these..."
As the only person on the battlefield who had experience manipulating the 6 and 9 Arrays, Fang Yuan was still overwhelmed with emotions after witnessing all these.
The vibes given off by these Sages and their method of operation was much more perfect than what Fang Yuan had once done. Needless to say, this complete version of the array was much more powerful than his incomplete version by many folds.
"Why are the 3 sages of the Imperial Court not fighting back?"
There were lightning streaks from the skies and the dragons from the ground, but Fang Yuan shifted his attention to the 3 sages on the city walls.
Ever since the 5 sages had activated the array, the 3 of them had since stood on the city walls like figurines, frozen on the spot.
"Is it because they are already aware that the allied forces have something like this, or could it be that they are all heavily injured from the previous fight?"
Thoughts ran through Fang Yuan's mind. Suddenly, he noticed the 6 dragons chasing the mysterious light above the Jade Capital. As the light sunk underground, the dragons smashed themselves into the ground as well.
"Rumble!"
The space around the dragons shattered and was undergoing a form of destruction!
With the energy from the natural source of the realm, the violet streaks of lightning were being pushed away. The mysterious glow was directing itself towards an empty space of higher dimension and suddenly, it broke through space.
"Whoosh!"
Air currents started to form around the space and as a black hole opened, a silvery-white door was revealed!
A mysterious spiritual aura started to disperse and all dream masters on scene could feel that the dream elemental force within them was tingling with excitement. Everyone was full of anticipation.
The source of dream masters, the Demonic Heart Realm! It was finally here!
"This is the second stage, the opening of the energy passage. Physical bodies cannot pass through it yet..."
Fang Yuan was extremely familiar with this. However, all the dream masters around him, including the elders, were all filled with emotions.
"This is the true Dream Master's Realm!"
"I can feel the dream elemental force calling out for me!"
"This is the right feeling!"
...
Many 7th Tier Illusionary Divine dream masters were overcome with their own emotions and could no longer care about the fight among the sages. Without hesitation, they leapt towards the black hole and in that instant, they had already forgotten all the hatred they had for each other, as well as the mission at hand. They were purely looking for their dao.
Even Elder Smelter and Elder Extreme Darkness wavered under such an influence.
However, Fang Yuan had already experienced this before and had more resistance to such an influence. Therefore, he was able to remain composed.
To others, their lifelong pursuit was presented before them. Therefore, they could neglect all risks. This was akin to religious people encountering their Gods, and they would do anything to go for it.
...
"This is indeed... the Dream Master's Realm!"
On the walls of the Jade Capital, Head of Hidden Dragon Guards was watching all these and his eyes twitched. "After years of planning and preparation, it is finally completed today and our wishes will come through."
"That's right!"
Superior Wu Zun and Qian Huanyi laughed to themselves and had the same expression.
"This is not enough... It is only an energy passage. We want the Dream Master's Realm to completely descend into our realm for both realms to be completely connected!"
As soon as the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array started to absorb energy from the natural source of the realm, the intensity of the heavenly tribulations would start to reduce.
The 5 sages bellowed together as they attempted to create the eternal gateway between the realms.
As soon as they succeed, the two realms would be completely connected and physical objects would be able to pass through.
Previously, on Planet Earth Realm, Fang Yuan had secretly altered the arrays and the natural source of the realm was not enough. Therefore, only an energy passage could be created.
However, things were different for the realm of Da Qian!
This was a realm capable of the existence of sages!
The sacrifice of its natural source would surely be able to attract the Demonic Heart Realm!
"It's about to begin!"
Head of Hidden Dragon Guards gazed at the gathering dragons and calmly commented.
"I have waited for this day for too long!"
Behind him, a skinny and tall daoist appeared. It was Shang Hou!
However, now, he was as skinny as a wooden plank and his face was filled with wrinkles. He no longer had any teeth and his eye sockets were deep. He resembled a walking skeleton.
"Although the 9 Heavenly Sky Net Array is completed, we still need a blood sacrifice!"
He gazed into the skies and shook his head.
"We have prepared the sacrifice!"
Superior Wu Zun disappeared for a moment before reappearing. There was a person in his hands and the person was shivering in a dragon robe. It was the emperor of Da Qian, Emperor Zhao Ming!
"It is sufficient to sacrifice him! Great!"
Shang Hou nodded his head.
"No..."
Fear was written all over Emperor Zhao Ming's face. "Great Ancestor... my 3 sages, ever since I have taken up the role as emperor, I have only contributed to Da Qian for my entire life..."
"Hehe... My grandson, if we do not sacrifice you just because you have made contributions to the empire, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Shang Hou giggled. "As the emperor, you have indeed done a good job. To make the heavens respond, who else would be a better person to sacrifice than you? Your death will be meaningful."
Emperor Zhao Ming wanted to rebut but in the next moment, Superior Wu Zun had struck a palm out.
In that instant, he had turned into a blood-red essence which shot up into the sky!
"Rumble!"
In the next instant, an unimaginable huge array had appeared!
