Chapter 553 - The Mountain Gate Crumbles

 

Translator: AnubisTL

 

The four symbols moved in unison across the sky, unleashing a violent aura that pressed down simultaneously.

At that moment, the space above the Taiyi Sect seemed to distort, as if unable to withstand such overwhelming force.

Moreover, the two Spirit-Communicating Myriad-Year Yin Corpses released by Zhu Jiuyin on the ground demonstrated terrifying destructive power.

Rumble!

The solid earth was torn apart, unable to withstand the impact of the two ancient yin corpses.

The luminous barrier formed by the formation trembled violently, as if on the verge of shattering.

In addition, the Blood Cloud Hall, jointly refined by several core formation true lords of the Blood Spirit Sect, descended with crushing force.

A torrent of blood qi erupted, instantly engulfing the entire Taiyi Sect territory.

This pervasive blood qi relentlessly corroded the formation's foundations.

Combined with the Restriction-Breaking Talismans being deployed from outside, the Great Evolution Demon-Slaying Formation—which had protected the Taiyi Sect for countless millennia—finally teetered on the brink of collapse.

The core formation true lords maintaining the formation's operation now wore deathly pale expressions, their minds strained to the breaking point under the immense pressure.

"The Great Evolution Demon-Slaying Formation is about to shatter!"

"Senior Brother Chenguang, think of something quickly!"

"This is terrifying! Are those really just Four Symbols Phantoms? It's as if the True Spirits themselves have descended!"

"Is the Four Symbols Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron truly this terrifying?"

"..."

Amidst the chaos, the Four Symbols True Spirits' phantoms commanded the most attention. Each strike threatened to collapse the entire Grand Formation.

"Damn it! Did the message get through?" True Lord Bi Yun gritted her teeth, demanding answers from the elders responsible for sending the message.

But the demonic path forces had completely sealed off the area. Transmitting any information was proving impossible.

Whether through Spirit Bird Transmission or other means, every attempt to send a message was intercepted immediately.

Clearly, the demonic path had prepared thoroughly for their assault on the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate.

Boom!

A thunderous roar suddenly shook the heavens!

The Four Symbols True Spirits stirred to life: the Vermilion Bird spread its wings, the Dragon soared through the skies, the Tiger roared across mountains and rivers, and the Black Tortoise shook the earth!

In the next instant, accompanied by a blinding surge of spiritual light, the Four Symbols True Spirits surged upward.

"Four Symbols return to their positions! To suppress heaven and earth!"

Gui Li roared in a deep voice and hurled the Four Symbols Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron forward.

The small cauldron, originally palm-sized, instantly began to expand, transforming within moments into a colossal vessel the size of a mountain.

At the four legs of the cauldron, the Four Symbols True Spirits shone brilliantly, each radiating its unique spiritual light.

With a thunderous roar, the giant Four Symbols Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron descended directly upon the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate.

Boom!

The air wailed as violent gusts of wind erupted outward. Ancient trees surrounding the area were bent double by the gale-force winds, their trunks snapping like twigs.

In a flash, the descending cauldron made contact with the spiritual light protecting the mountain gate.

Tragically, the Great Evolution Demon-Slaying Formation finally buckled under the cauldron's overwhelming power.

With an earth-shattering crash, the formation's spiritual light extinguished, and the entire Taiyi Sect Mountain Gate shattered into fragments.

Jagged, bottomless fissures, like abyssal ravines, split the earth, their depths impossible to fathom.

The Taiyi Sect was finished.

This once-mighty orthodox sect, which had stood unyielding in the Great Wilderness Domain for centuries, had fallen today, its mountain gate breached by a united assault from demonic path sects.

The core formation true lords who had been maintaining the formation just moments ago all simultaneously vomited blood, their minds reeling from the Four Symbols Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron's violent impact.

Some cultivators with weaker fleshly bodies were sent flying backward, suffering grievous injuries that left them on the brink of death.

As for the foundation establishment elders and the ordinary qi refining disciples, none escaped unscathed. The cauldron's residual force instantly crushed them to death.

The Taiyi Sect, once a celestial paradise on earth, had been transformed into a living hell.

The once-sacred Spirit Mountains lay shattered, and the once-pristine Daoist training grounds and cave abodes were now littered with corpses. The blood of cultivators stained the entire mountain gate crimson.

Seeing this carnage, the Yin Puppet Sect and Blood Spirit Sect forces' eyes lit up.

The corpses and blood qi of these cultivators were the perfect materials for their demonic path cultivation!

"Go, gather the bodies of the foundation establishment elders," a supreme elder of the Yin Puppet Sect immediately ordered.

The Blood Spirit Sect forces resumed refining the Blood Cloud Hall, using it to collect the blood that had been scattered across the Taiyi Sect Mountain Gate.

Zhu Jiuyin, however, paid no attention to these developments. He merely glanced at the unconscious core formation true lords lying on the ground before striding deeper into the shattered mountain gate.

Seeing this, Gui Li naturally understood what the Yin Puppet Sect's ancestor intended to do.

"Heh, after the fall of the Ancient Hua Immortal Dynasty, the Taiyi Sect reaped considerable benefits. Some opportunities are simply too good to pass up."

With these words, Gui Li swiftly began searching the mountain gate, seeking the location of the treasure vault.

Meanwhile, the other core formation true lords of the demonic path took charge of the cleanup and finishing touches.

The unconscious Taiyi Sect Elders were all bound with strange restrictions, their bodies restrained by eerie techniques.

As for the supreme elders who were barely clinging to life, on the verge of losing consciousness and with frail fleshly bodies, they were mercilessly executed.

Only a handful of individuals who had cultivated body arts as a secondary discipline managed to survive temporarily, but they all fell into the hands of the Yin Puppet Sect.

Their fate would likely be worse than death.

With this, the foundation of the Taiyi Sect had completely crumbled.

To put it bluntly, from this day forward, the Taiyi Sect would cease to exist in the great wilderness!

Clang!

Deep within the completely devastated Taiyi Sect, a sudden, muffled sound echoed through the ruins.

"Hmm? It seems the ancestor has made another discovery?"

"It's coming from inside... Could it be the location of the Taiyi Sect's treasure vault?"

"The Taiyi Sect's treasure vault... truly something to look forward to!"

"..."

Amidst these murmurs, Gui Li was the first to act, immediately rushing toward Zhu Jiuyin's location.

But in the very next moment, a startled cry erupted from a structure beneath the mountain:

"Old Ghost Taixuan? Impossible!"

Upon hearing the name "Old Ghost Taixuan," Gui Li's movements quickened further. He even retrieved the Four Symbols Heaven-Suppressing Cauldron, as if preparing for immediate combat.

True Monarch Taixuan, the Taiyi Sect's ancestor... how could he possibly be here?

Gui Li narrowed his eyes, his expression darkening slightly.
