Chapter 586: Chaos Battle (Part 1)

The long night quietly passed.

As the first rays of sunlight illuminated the steep rock wall, this towering peak suddenly emitted a lightly shimmering rainbow glow, as if merging the dawn within it.

An indescribable aura spread in all directions.

The West Sea Sect cultivators sitting in front of the rock wall felt a surge of energy; their special coins began to glow.

All signs indicated that the entrance to the Biluotian secret realm was about to appear!

Yet, amidst the excitement, tension filled the air.

Although the previous night had remained calm and free of unexpected events, it was now day, and as the signs of the Biluotian secret realm’s emergence became more pronounced, it also increased the likelihood of attracting other treasure seekers.

They could only hope that the Illusion Array would work, buying them enough time.

Gaining a step would lead to gaining more; as long as they could enter the secret realm right at the beginning, their chances of obtaining opportunities would undoubtedly increase dramatically.

This was not a fantasy, but rather a valuable experience shared by previous lucky ones!

However, things often do not go as desired, as a wave of commotion rapidly approached everyone’s ears.

“Quick, quick, quick!”

“The spiritual compass shows the location right there!”

“The Biluotian secret realm might just be opening; don’t miss this chance!”

“Over here!”

A group of cultivators appeared in sight, getting closer to the peak and soon entering the range of the Illusion Array’s influence.

“This isn’t right!”

“Be careful, everyone!”

“Illusion Array!”

The newly arrived cultivators were no weaklings; among them were seasoned treasure seekers with profound cultivation levels, and they quickly sensed the presence of the Illusion Array, reacting fiercely.

In an instant, talismans flew out, and bursts of spiritual light suddenly erupted.

Detection talismans, breaking array talismans, cleansing talismans…

Under waves of powerful magical forces, the illusions activated by the Illusion Array were brutally pierced and torn apart, exposing the West Sea Sect cultivators guarding the rock wall.

“Someone’s here!”

“Damn them!”

The new arrivals glared menacingly, some even shouting angrily.

They believed they had arrived first and were furious to find that this spot had already been claimed; naturally, many felt murderous intent.

Opportunities were rare, and although the Biluotian secret realm was dangerous, cultivators seeking to enter and search for treasures were as numerous as fish crossing a river, making competition extremely fierce.

Just days earlier, small-scale battles had erupted in Mount Taiwu, resulting in the downfall of some cultivators.

If the news of the emergence of the Biluotian secret realm had not yet fully spread, the number of people arriving at Mount Taiwu would have been multiplied tenfold or even a hundredfold, leading to a far more tragic scene!

“West Sea Sect is conducting business here; please find another place!”

Sun Wenxuan, realizing their cover was blown, boldly displayed his identity token and declared with pride, "Face the consequences if you dare!"

The mere mention of the West Sea Sect was enough to intimidate some cultivators. They instinctively stepped back, their faces showing signs of panic. The allure of the Biluotian secret realm was strong, but engaging in a battle with the West Sea Sect without even seeing the entrance was clearly unwise.

However, many cultivators remained unfazed. "Bah!" spat a burly man, his voice rough and menacing. "This isn’t the West Sea Spiritual Realm! What does the West Sea Sect amount to? Brothers, the Biluotian secret realm is about to emerge; are we going to let these bastards take advantage?"

Sun Wenxuan’s anger flared, "You’re courting death!" The insult to the West Sea Sect was intolerable, igniting a fierce enmity.

The burly man was the first to act, laughing wildly as he summoned a pale golden long blade and swung it fiercely towards Sun Wenxuan. At the Purple Palace Level, his blade’s edge extended instantly to ten zhang, slicing through the air with formidable speed and force.

However, his strike was halted by an invisible barrier, creating rippling waves. The Illusion Array set by the West Sea Sect had been breached, but the secondary defensive formations remained intact, activating automatically against the attack.

Though the burly man’s attack was fierce, it was insufficient to break the barrier. He was not alone, however; a large group of loose cultivators, already disdainful of sect cultivators and now embroiled in the secret realm dispute, were easily roused by his words. They unleashed their magical tools, spells, and talismans in a chaotic assault.

Spiritual light erupted as wind blades, fireballs, and lightning bolts surged towards Sun Wenxuan, who was overseeing the formations. The scene before the peak was tumultuous, with halos spreading out in front of Wang Chen and others.

Sun Wenxuan’s expression darkened as he coldly declared, "Those who offend my sect will be killed without mercy!" The West Sea Sect cultivators, stationed at the formations, immediately unleashed their most potent spells in a fierce counterattack.

Wang Chen, with a swift spell sign, released a Sky Thunder that had reached perfect mastery. The lightning bolts fell suddenly, enveloping dozens of loose cultivators. The blinding light stunned many, but the true terror lay in the destructive power of each lightning strike.

Screams filled the air as several Qi Training cultivators were struck by the divine thunder, turning instantly into charred corpses, their magical shields shattered. Some, though their shields were broken, narrowly escaped death thanks to life-saving talismans. However, Wang Chen’s second wave of Sky Thunder followed swiftly, obliterating them on the spot.

Sun Wenxuan and his comrades were formidable; their spells were equally devastating. Under the relentless storm of attacks, more than half of the enemies fell. Protected by the defensive formations, the West Sea Sect cultivators could cast spells with ease. Their deep cultivation levels and excellent teamwork gave them a clear advantage over the loose cultivators.

The chaos of the battle created a spectacle visible from afar, drawing other cultivators searching the area. As more and more people arrived at the peak, a chaotic battle erupted.
