5 Sages appeared at the same time!
Colourful clouds released their glow at the same time, each representing a powerful presence.
It was as though the air around them had solidified in an instant. Everyone around, even True Divines and True Elementals, were being pressured by an invisible and immense force.
"Ha!"
At this moment, from the royal city, there was a loud exclamation.
It sounded like the roar of a dragon. The mighty roar seemed to have as much energy as the sun, being able to support even the weight of the skies.
"Phew….."
Countless cultivators heaved their sighs.
If they hesitated, they could be suffocated by the immense pressure which came from the presence of the sages.
"The annoying fogeys are here!"
The 5 Prominent Divine dream masters appeared solemn as they gazed towards an approaching storm originating from the royal family.
It was approaching neither swiftly nor slowly. Casually, but within a few moments, a silhouette had arrived on the city walls.
With every action of his, the clouds would lumber and slowly, they formed an eye of a tornado which followed him closely.
He was one with nature!
All of his actions represented the heavens! With the blessings and strength from the heavens, this person's powers were immensely boosted.
"Superior Wu Zun!"
Fang Yuan mumbled the name of this Da Qian True Divine.
It was this person who neutralised the combined attack from the 5 sages with a single shout.
If Fang Yuan were to close his eyes to imagine, he would visualise a huge star as huge as an entire sun standing on the city walls!
No! Not just a star, but more like a black hole.
If Fang Yuan's spiritual will were to approach this person, it would be disintegrated immediately and he would not be able to detect anything. Therefore, he could only use his naked eyes to observe.
"Haha... It is my good fortune to be able to go head-on against 5 Prominent Divine dream masters! This is a happy occasion!"
Superior Wu Zun seemed like a normal looking middle-aged man with a squarish face and big ears. However, his ear-shattering laughter could shake even the strongest cultivators all the way back in the base of the allied forces.
"This is an extremely powerful martial artist willpower!"
Fang Yuan was a martial artist himself and knew how scarily powerful this martial artist was. "This person's willpower is like an entire mountain made out of metal. He can use it to disrupt reality like how the mind could affect matter! If any 5th or 6th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master were to encounter him, they would die from merely hearing his shout and will be unable to use any of their illusionary techniques."
"Is this how powerful a fated True Divine will be? What about a fated True Elemental?"
With a single thought, a fiery glow appeared in Fang Yuan's eyes as he started to observe the arrival of another storm.
The other party floated in mid-air and was a majestic looking young man. However, this young man's eyes were filled with sorrow as though he had given up on love. With that, he seemed wise and mature.
On his arrival, elemental force started to flow towards him like a river in a continuous cycle, spreading his vibe more than a 100 miles across!
"Accompanying the wind, I shall take command of all objects!"
This fated True Elemental was different from Superior Wu Zun. All elemental force in the realm and even objects had already recognised him as their owner, allowing him to manipulate anything at will.
"It seemed as though he has control over the entire world!"
Fang Yuan swallowed some saliva and knew that if he were to pit himself against any of them using his status as a True Divine or a powerful dream master, he would still undoubtedly lose. He might not even be able to escape alive.
"Qian Guiyi!"
Beside Fang Yuan, Elder Smelter was already shaking in fear as he revealed the name of this fated True Elemental.
These two spiritual knight and Wu Zong were the rare talents among all True Divines and True Elementals. They were already recorded in history books as they continued to impress everyone wherever they go.
After becoming the imperial advisor of Da Qian and receiving the blessings from the heavens, their cultivations were pushed one step further, breaking through their original limits to allow them to pit against Prominent Divine dream masters!
As they made their appearance, 10 other silhouettes started to appear on the city walls as well.
They all had mysterious spiritual auras or aggressive vibes and were all powerful beings, be it True Divines or True Elementals. Together, they were equally impressive as a bunch of sages!!
This was all the combat force from the Martial Arts Court, Tai Temple and the Spiritual Light Hall and was as powerful as the Hidden Dragon Guards. They were the pinnacle of the Imperial Court!
"Phew..."
Witnessing this scene before him, Fang Yuan took a deep breath.
Even Extreme Darkness, who was an Illusionary Divine dream master, appeared vexed as she bit her lip.
All of them knew that if they were to go head-on, considering the number of powerful beings the Imperial Court had, even a 9th Tier Illusionary Divine dream master could not be confident of ensuring its own survival.
"The 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array should be completed. However, they have not activated it yet. The 5 sages are indeed mysterious in their ways!"
Fang Yuan gazed at the 5 sages in mid-air.
Although the Imperial Court had revealed their most powerful assets, the 5 clouds from the sages seemed unaffected.
The sages knew that they had control over the 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array.
As soon as the array was activated, the source of the realm would directly be sacrificed and a high-dimension passage connecting to the Demonic Heart Realm would be formed.
The previous earthquake and crumbling of the city walls was nothing. The sages merely released the repercussion of activating the array and coincidently awakened the Earth Dragons.
"Hidden Dragon! Qian Guiyi! Superior Wu Zun! The 6 Extremes Earth Shattering Array is already completed. If you continue with your futile resistance, you will all turn into dust and will never be able to be reborn!"
From the 5 sages, a powerful spiritual will was heard.
"We are only following the trend of the heavens. Da Qian has never let anyone down. You guys are crazy to think about destroying our world and sacrificing it..."
Superior Wu Zun hollered with a thunderous voice. "We shall correct everything even if we have one man left!"
"Stubborn!"
The 5 sages roared together as their clouds floated up, breaking through the skies.
"Haha... I am already intending to take on the 5 of you!"
The sages tore the skies apart, revealing outer space as the battlefield.
Witnessing this scene, Superior Wu Zun laughed out loud and jumped into the battlefield without any reservations.
After all, if they fought in the Jade Capital, a single blow from any of the sages might just kill all the low-tiered cultivators in the vicinity.
Therefore, they had to fight somewhere else.
These 5 sages collectively opened up another void above the Jade Capital, which was the most suitable place for the fight to occur.
Only when the 5 of them combined forces against the 3 powerful beings from the Imperial Court could they guard their surroundings at the same time.
This was not to protect themselves. In fact, it was because the Jade Capital was also an important array eye of the array and it was best not to destroy it before the sacrifice.
The 5 sages appeared composed as they created the battlefield. They had the advantage but the 3 powerful beings from the Imperial Court could only enter the battlefield unwillingly, for they did not want to risk the destruction of the Jade Capital.
Although the Head of Hidden Dragon Guards had a lot of other considerations, he did not have much choice.
"Move the mountains!"
Superior Wu Zun hollered as he released his energy. The surroundings around the Jade Capital shook as mountains were being plucked from the ground before flying towards the 5 sages.
His strength was enough to move mountains!
As a fated True Divine, his first move was an extreme one.
"Great!"
Qian Guiyi took a step out and entered the battlefield. At the same time, across a radius of a thousand miles, a storm started to pick up as though all the elemental force of the world had gathered in a singularity.
"Leaders of Hidden Dragon Guards, listen up! Protect the Jade Capital and never retreat!"
Head of Hidden Dragon Guards took a quick glance towards the base of the allied forces before taking a step into the battlefield.
Fang Yuan raised his head.
The ability of the sages to create a void and a separate space from earth was impressive. It was as though another dimension had opened up above the Jade Capital. In the dimension, stars covered the background and silver-coloured storms were raging everywhere.
The 8 powerful beings each took up a spot and held their ground. Even the storm within the dimension started to calm down.
Before the stars, Superior Wu Zun's act of tossing mountains was a mere joke. As soon as the battle commenced, the mountain was swiftly disintegrated by the silver storm.
"Kill!"
The cultivators exchanged glances before roaring together.
Spiritual territories were released and the space around the battlefield was warped. The entire place turned into chaos. Anyone who was not a powerful being would die without a question if they were to enter the spiritual territory.
"Haha….. Red Dragon, let's see who can save you today!"
Elder Smelter had already long targeted this True Elemental spiritual knight. With a roar, 6 fiery dragons appeared beside him before flying towards the city walls.
"Hmph, you have destroyed my entire sect and I shall avenge them today!"
A hint of fear flashed across Red Dragon's face. Suddenly, he transformed into a 3-headed fiery dragon with 6 talons and flew forward into the battlefield.
"Hehe..."
Witnessing the scene, Fang Yuan snickered to himself. "From the sages' plans, everyone will be sacrificed... Indeed, anyone weaker than a sage is a mere ant!"
Considering the fact that Fang Yuan was well-known, many other powerful beings were already plotting to kill this 'talent'.
Behind Fang Yuan, Elder Thick Earth transfigured into a 6-legged beast and burrowed into the ground, disappearing in an instant.
This elder knew that on the battlefield, be it him, the dream beast master or Fang Yuan, the talent, both of them would be targeted by the enemies. Since even Elder Smelter had already made up an excuse to leave the battlefield, if Fang Yuan and Elder Thick Earth were to remain together, they would surely be surrounded.
Instead of sacrificing oneself in the name of brotherhood, it was wiser to escape.
After all, a dream beast master needed a safe environment to be able to continuously summon a beast army.
"They are the best teammates I can ever ask for!"
Looking at the fleeing Thick Earth, Fang Yuan chuckled. In the next instant, he could feel that his life was in danger.
