943 Battle of Eternals (III)
"Protecting Dao Talisman, huh?" muttered Patriarch He, feeling a slight pain in his heart at the prospect of using these things.
The Spirit Genesis Sect has a few things that could be considered the ultimate foundation of the sect, and the first one is obviously the Four Symbol Mirror.
As long as the mirror is here, the sect can survive any trial, tribulation, or catastrophe. Another ultimate foundation of the Spirit Genesis Sect is the Protecting Dao Talismans, derived from the Four Symbol Mirror.
Their ancestor found a way to condense the Empyrean Power from the artifact into a talisman. The power of this talisman is more mobile than the mirror as they do not require a long time to activate. The only downside to these talismans is it's hard to control their powers, and even one thing requires an extremely long time to condense.
A Great Emperor can use their Dao to accelerate the process, and Eternals can condense two talismans during their stay in the lower dimension.
"Fine, you can use it," said Patriarch He after hesitating for a few seconds.
"Then, please, give access," said Ancestor He. The patriarch was momentarily confused before remembering the sect's rules–only the patriarch can activate the ultimate foundation of the sect. Now that his son could not be reached and it was an emergency, as the former patriarch, only he could grant permission to access the talismans.
Patriarch He gave the ancestor his token without wasting time, and the latter disappeared. A few minutes later, everyone in the sect senses a powerful Immortal Energy followed by an even more terrifying power.
The seal above their sect trembled and cracked, making everyone ecstatic. Unfortunately, these people's smiles did not last long; the cracks healed themselves.
"Damn it, how could this seal be so powerful?" yelled Ancestor He, as he tried to mobilize as many Immortal Qi allowed to power this talisman. Unfortunately, his attempt was pointless.
The seal did not originate from Xu Shi but was condensed by Wang Wei himself, containing his peak power of 69% Grand Dao Source. The Dao Protecting Talisman is powerful, but its strength was not close to the mirror, probably reaching 60% Grand Dao Source.
Under normal circumstances, such strength is enough to walk sideways in the lower dimension. Unfortunately, the Spirit Genesis Sect met a freak like Wang Wei.
After all, he did not acquire the title of Immeasurable Emperor for nothing.
"Patriarch, we need to use a second talisman."
"Are you serious?" asked Patriarch He, feeling a pain in his heart, thinking of their sect's loss in this attack.
"This is not the time to hesitate. Our loss will be even greater if something happens to the Sect Master."
Patriarch He remembered his son who was in danger and gritted his teeth: "Don't hesitate, use two more talismans to ensure nothing goes wrong."
In the distance, the Immortal Sovereign showed a rare look of approval. He can destroy this sealing and reverse the situation with two more talismans. So, he did not hesitate and used two more Protecting Dao Talismans.
With this boost, he easily penetrated the seal, making Ancestor He smile. Alas, his happiness was also short. An unknown power reinforced the seal. Luckily, he reacted swiftly and left the sect before the seal was completely reinforced.
Ancestor He frowned after exiting the seal.
He found himself in a golden world with chants echoing in the background.
"Buddhism?"
"Donor, unfortunately, you cannot leave,"
said a peaceful and gentle voice. Then, a strange monk appeared before Ancestor He. The reason he said it was strange was not because the person was a monk–a religion that should have been extinct in the lower dimension–but because he sensed Taoist Principles from this monk's body.
"You're with the attacker?"
"This poor monk is only here to prevent you from interfering, so there is no need for us to fight," said Feng Heng.
"Do you think that's possible?"
Feng Heng sighed. His mission was indeed only to prevent the latter from interfering.
According to the Heavenly Emperor, True Heavenly Dao seems very lenient when it comes to breaking the rules toward the Spirit Genesis Sect. As such, if their Immortal Sovereign is pushed to the limit, it's possible for them to use true Tier 11 strength in the lower dimension or, at the very least, come close to it.
'The best plan for this battle is to drag him down while secretly injuring him.'
Immortal Sovereigns have a higher healing ability than Dao Ancestors, Immortal
Venerables, and even Primarchs, but it is still not on par with Great Emperors and Eternals. So, as long as he is injured, he must spend countless generations returning to his peak.
"In that case, let's begin, donor," said Feng Heng as brilliant golden light enveloped him. For this battle, he brought one of the supreme treasures of Buddhism, the Chaos Treasure–Buddha World. As such, he had the home advantage.
Battle Spirit World, Eastern Region:
The Battle Spirit World is a long, continuous continent with four seas in the north, south, west, and east. Despite having no break between continents like the Myriad Emperor World, the continent is also divided into five: the Central, East, West, North, and South Regions.
Because of the overbearing nature of the Spirit Genesis Sect, all the top factions of the world moved out from the Central Region, leaving only a few weak Emperor Lineages that served as the eyes of these factions, keeping tabs on the Spirit Genesis Sect.
So, when Xu Shi attacked, everyone paid attention to the Central Region. When she dropped billions of Chaos Suns into that area, these factions acted to create barriers to prevent the destruction from reaching other regions.
Their actions were somewhat successful. Unfortunately, they did not know these suns contained Choas's power and underestimated the destruction it would have caused.
Regardless of the final outcome, the one who suffered the greatest loss was still the Spirit Genesis Sect, and they were more than happy with the result.
The Purple Qi Sect is the overlord of the Eastern Region, and it's also known as the second most powerful faction of the world with 10 Great Emperors, one of which was an Eternal.
Inside a room was a young, handsome man dressed in a purple robe with a golden crown, long black hair, and a jade pendant hanging on his side. The young man opened his eyes, revealing his two different color eyes–one blue and one red.
The Purple Spirit Eyes is a unique physique of the Purple Qi Sect, and this generation's patriarch was born with it. The sect celebrated and thought they could cultivate another Eternal, taking another step to catch up to the Spirit Genesis Sect.
Alas, things didn't go well. The Purple Spirit King lost to He Shiyi in the final battle and was severely injured. His situation would have been worse if he had not used all his means to escape.
After hearing He Shiyi's command to open the Void Battlefield, the Purple Spirit King frowned before calling for a World Council, contacting all the factions in the world.
After sending the call, he activated the formation to send a projection to the meeting room. He was the first to arrive since he called the meeting, so the Purple Spirit King took his position at this round table.
The next person to arrive was the Cult Master of the Ancient Spirit Mountain, a cult that worshiped spirits with 11 Great Emperors. Although this lineage has the same number of Emperors as the Spirit Genesis Sect–before this generation–they had no Eternals, and two of their Emperors were only Second Class. However, they are considered one of the oldest sects, and their founder–a Pseudo Eternal–pioneered the world's cultivation system.
As such, they were not considered amongst the best in the world: Top 5, sure, but not among the top 3.
The third person to arrive was the War Spirit Temple's War Priest. He was an elderly man dressed in a loose white robe with golden designs weaved into them.
However, the man released a naturally oppressive aura, and his bulging muscles did not alleviate this problem.
The War Spirit Temple held the position of the third most powerful faction, with nine Great Emperors and one Eternal.
Soon, all the top factions showed up for this meeting.
"You've heard He Shiyi, no, the Battle God Emperor's order. What do you think?" asked the Purple Spirit King, not hiding his contempt and hatred.
"Fuck him," said the War Priest, almost yelling. Veins appeared on his neck and overly toned biceps, and he released a terrifying aura. No one was surprised by this outburst.
In this generation, He Shiyi awakened a spirit related to Battle and War. As such, the Spirit Genesis Sect bullied and humiliated the War Spirit Temple to better cultivate their Heaven Chosen.
"No matter how we feel about him, we cannot ignore his order," said Cult Master Hao Ying. "The outsider is causing chaos in our world; we cannot let them."
"I have a better proposal," said the Saintess of the Flower Spirit Valley, a sect with 5 Great Emperors and one Eternal, all women.
"We let the foreigners cause chaos and weaken the Spirit Genesis Sect. That way, we may have a chance."
The room becomes quiet, everybody with their own thoughts.
