Chapter 860: Slay, Queen!
Wind Pool Valley and the Harmony Divine Palace, defined by fundamentally opposing philosophies, clashed fiercely.
As for the lands of the Thunder Devil Sect, the Thunder Devils were ruthless and bloodthirsty, putting them at perpetual odds with the Harmony Divine Palace.
Against this historical backdrop, the prodigies of these two great sects joined forces to attack the Extreme Yin Star, with Hai Qing and her six sisters, naturally fierce in battle!
"These two celestial sects have each left half their forces to protect the Parent Flags of their home stars. So, this attacking force here is about equal in strength to one sect.
"Even though they outnumber us, they have roughly the same number of Samsara Disciples as us. The rest are all Taiji Disciples. Our Extreme Yin Star Barrier has been enhanced twice already. There's no need to be afraid in battle!" Hai Qing explained everything clearly to her sisters.
All seven sisters were the top elites of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm. The heritage of the Heavenly Deity Alliance was with them. They were all in the Fourth Baptism Realm, joined by Feng Yao whose combat prowess matched theirs. They could easily make use of the advantages of the defender!
"They're here!"
The 40 assailants broke through the icy tempest of the Extreme Yin Star Barrier with Life Sigils, celestial weapons, and physical bodies, heading directly for the Star Nexus.
Hai Qing, Hai Ying, and the other sisters quickly formed a defensive line above Feng Yao and the Star Nexus.
The seven sisters were all Martial Immortals with the potential of 7-Star Valkyrie Queens. Despite their delicate appearances, their Sea Lineage Physiques were as vast and resilient as the ocean, making them veritable humanoid tanks!Anchors, massive banners, iron balls, oars, and battle spears—all imbued with the power of the ocean—shone brightly in their hands. Each celestial weapon was large and majestic with ferocious might.
BUZZ! The power of the Extreme Yin Star Barrier erupted, making the seven of them seem like sea goddesses surrounded by the frozen sea. They controlled the winds and waves, sweeping across heaven and earth, each more imposing than the last.
"Wow, they're really going all out!" Feng Yao felt a stir within as she witnessed the scene.
The talents of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm were truly formidable. If they weren't being colluded against, there was no doubt they could have achieved great things on their own.
At that moment, a thought struck Feng Yao’s mind. Who needs Yun Xiao!
"Sisters, let's do this!"
With a loud shout from Feng Yao, her voice thundered up to the heavens, crashing into the ears of the invaders.
"Acting all innocent, these women."
Among the two invading forces, the one on the left was led by Wind Pool Valley's genius, Chi Shenshen. She was a green-robed woman, who wielded a Life Sigil with over 500 Rune Prisons. She transformed it into a leaf fan and swept it across. The blizzard before her dispersed, revealing a wind tunnel leading directly to the Star Nexus. Ȑ𝙖
At the end of the wind tunnel stood Wan Ji's seven daughters. When the two parties met gazes, their eyes turned particularly bloodshot upon recognizing each other.
"Forget Feng Yao, let's finish these seven women first!" Chi Shenshen called out venomously. She led the 20 disciples of her Wind Pool Valley, sweeping down in a tempestuous assault.
"Chi Shenshen!" Hai Qing frowned at the sight of the green-robed woman, feeling the surge of old grievances.
In recent years, as the Harmony Divine Palace fell from grace, many second-rate sects had dared to trample over them, stirring numerous feuds.
Seeing the brashness of Wind Pool Valley's disciples, the wrath of the seven sisters flared. They hefted their celestial weapons and charged furiously into battle!
The ensuing clash was a frontal collision of wind against sea!
But in that moment, a crimson light suddenly shot past Hai Qing’s ear, startling her into a cold sweat. If not for her unconditional trust in Feng Yao, she might have thought this girl was sneak attacking her!
The ferocity of that arrow was something Hai Qing felt personally. Her eyes widened as she saw the crimson light tear through the green storm, abruptly appearing before a female disciple of Wind Pool Valley!
The disciple screamed, desperately trying to defend herself.
THWACK! The crimson light pierced through both her palms and head, embedding itself into the thigh of a man behind her. Her face showed shock, her forehead spattered with blood, and she fell dead.
"Yao Yao..."
Even Hai Qing and the others were shocked by the scene, halting abruptly and turning back to stare at Feng Yao, lurking in the shadows.
Feng Yao, taken aback for a moment, shouted fiercely, "What are you gawking for? Keep fighting! This is war! Don't be hypocrites; anyone who dares to attack the Extreme Yin Star deserves death!"
Hai Qing and the others stood silent, dumbfounded.
"Only the most ruthless measures can silence the barking dogs! Beat the dogs first! The Southern Divine Dragon Realm isn't here. Since the owner hasn't arrived yet, let's put down their hunting hounds first!" Feng Yao exclaimed, her blood boiling with fervor.
Clearly, she had learned this from a certain someone, as she hadn’t been so aggressive or decisive before.
"Crude words, but true!" Hai Qing's eyes sparkled, and her blood also boiled. She couldn't help but roar, "Sisters, let’s slay them!"
"Slay!"
Suddenly, a simulated game of war had escalated into an epic battle of defending their homeland.
Witnessing a fellow Samsara Disciple killed by Feng Yao's arrow, Chi Shenshen was left completely stunned.
Wind Pool Valley's force had initially been tasked with securing the area. But upon hearing that the Blazing Yang Star had been conquered, they quickly moved to launch a counter-offensive.
However, it turned out that most of the Harmony Divine Palace's disciples were still here, fiercely guarding their home star!
Chi Shenshen, overwhelmed with anger, shouted sharply, "Lei Ting, you're the strongest, suppress Feng Yao!"
Aware of the terrifying potential of Feng Yao’s celestial weapon, she also feared the sudden cold arrows.
"Understood." Lei Ting's voice rumbled like thunder amidst the blizzard.
One after another, the disciples of the Thunder Devil Sect descended. Their bodies were wrapped in serpentine lightning, making them resemble true devils of thunder.
"Attack!"
The Thunder Devils took the vanguard while Wind Pool Valley's Sword and Inscription Immortals followed closely behind. They broke through the Extreme Yin Star Barrier and closed in on the seven celestial maidens of the Sea Lineage.
Suddenly, the pressure on Hai Qing and her sisters became immense!
The Thunder Devils could match their physical prowess and also cast celestial techniques. Meanwhile, the Sword and Inscription Immortals were even more difficult to guard against in the chaos of the battle!
Fortunately Feng Yao had truly assumed the role of a powerful archer. Before the sides even came into direct contact, her Heaven Devourer Arrows soared into the sky repeatedly!
She was smart; once the enemy was on guard, she avoided attacking the Samsara Disciples and specifically targeted the weaker Taiji Disciples in the Third Baptism Realm.
She hit her target with every shot! Each arrow drew blood, piercing souls with every strike!
Under such circumstances, the Taiji Disciples were terrified, their faces pale. Although they continued the assault, they mostly hid behind the Samsara Disciples, their momentum significantly weakened.
At this rate, Feng Yao alone could incapacitate all their Taiji Disciples!
Seeing this, Chi Shenshen grew both furious and anxious, barking out, "Lei Ting, haven’t you found her yet?!"
Even the best sniper, after firing so many arrows, would reveal their position!
"I’ve found her!" A thunderous roar erupted.
In the midst of the raging blizzard, Feng Yao stood with one foot on a rock, her bow drawn, arrow nocked, and her posture magnificent as she aimed at a Thunder Devil above her.
Suddenly, a lethal threat loomed from behind!
"Heh." Unfazed, Feng Yao scoffed coldly, swiftly turned around, and the Heaven Devourer Arrow screamed through the air.
BOOM! A Thunder Devil materialized behind Feng Yao. Wrapped in violet serpentine lightning, he was nearly as tall as Yun Xiao and eerily human in appearance.
He blocked the arrow with a slab-like thunder shield. Then, he summoned a violet lightning storm around him and charged at her.
"You think I only rely on sneak attacks?" Feng Yao cursed. Her Corona transformed into a Sanguine Spirit Dragon that instantly bit into Lei Ting.
She vanished in a blink, and in the next moment, her long legs, swirling with a crimson torrential sea, kicked straight towards Lei Ting’s face.
This move, derived from the Martial Immortal techniques of the Sea Lineage, was called the Sea Dragon Quake.
However, it morphed into something fiercer under Feng Yao's interpretation. Her leg kicked up a furious tidal wave that turned into a crimson dragon, with her foot as its head.
Backed by the Mortal Dust Devil Blood and her tribulation power, it unleashed a frightening tremor!
"What!?" Lei Ting didn't expect such a ferocious attack. He had underestimated Feng Yao, thinking she lacked physical prowess. Before him was no frail woman, but a fearsome female tyrant!
He quickly raised his thunder shield, summoning more lightning to defend against her kick.
BOOM! Lei Ting's shield was slammed back into him. The tremendous force sent him flying almost 1,000 meters, crashing on the surface of the Extreme Yin Star and tumbling in the snow.
His mind was in complete disarray. He thought he was facing a frail archer, lured into close combat only to discover that she was a melee specialist! He felt as if he'd been scammed!
Lei Ting had no idea that Feng Yao actually despised fighting in close quarters because it made her seem too brutish, which she felt only tarnished her image. She preferred the role of an archer, or maybe casting spells from afar, to maintain a more maiden-like appearance.
"Come on! What kind of Thunder Devil are you, Pure Thunder Seed, pah!" Feng Yao, enraged, stamped her foot on the ground, causing the Extreme Yin Star itself to quake.
A vast chasm erupted, surging towards Lei Ting and blasting him into the sky!
Such was the body forged from Mortal Dust Devil Blood! Although it wasn’t on par with the Divine Desolation Physique, it was certainly stronger than that of ordinary Martial Immortals and devils.
Her ferocity not only caused Lei Ting to furrow his brow under the immense pressure but also caught the eye of Chi Shenshen and the others above.
They had intended to quickly overcome their foes to prevent Yun Xiao from snatching another star!
Now, everything indicated that taking down the Extreme Yin Star wouldn’t be easy.
"The key issue is these wretches even made that celestial slave a Star Liege, completely preventing us from reducing the Star Barrier's power..."
Chi Shenshen and Lei Ting gritted their teeth, pushing on despite the challenge.
Meanwhile, Feng Yao’s fervor grew even more intense. She shouted at the Mortal Dust Devil Seed in her heart, “Forget about coming back; your mother can handle this herself!”
“I wasn’t planning on coming back anyway," a nonchalant reply came from the Mortal Dust Devil Seed.
Feng Yao was furious! Wasn’t he supposed to come back? Why did he trick her?
"Where did you go then?" she asked, biting her lip.
“Mhm… I just reached the Thunder Punisher Star, can’t talk now, busy.”
