1180 The Alliance's Reinforcements Are Here!
The arrival of the top three sects and the two ancestors was a welcome surprise to everyone of the alliance.
"Cursed heavens! All the effort has been wasted!" Master Bell Mountain shouted in anger.
Everyone could hear it and were a little confused. Patriarch You Yi looked at the patriarchs of the top sects that were approaching them.
"What exactly happened?" Patriarch You Yi questioned.
"There was a large barrier surrounding the entire area. We've been trying to break it for a while now, but it was simply to tough. Even the Ancestors couldn't do much to it." Patriarch Tian was the one who answered first.
"These Northern tribes people have gotten simply unfathomable if they have means like these." Patriarch of the Rainbow Pill said, a hint of irritation present on his face.
He had been opposed to the proposal of the alliance in the earlier meeting and despite having been convinced by the facts shown by the high elder of the Sky Precepts sect, he didn't like it.
It wasn't as about being right or wrong, rather that he had been opposed.
Still, there was nothing he could do for now and simply focused on the situation at hand.
"We were racking our brains in breaking the barrier, but then suddenly, cracks appeared on it. It didn't take us long to figure out that attacking those points would break the barrier. The ancestors joined us and we finally managed to break it." Patriarch Jia Chuanli said.
"At least you all are here. That's all that matters now." Patriarch Mingliang's voice was heard.
He had just killed his foe and gotten free from the conflict for a moment.
"That's right, we can chit chat later. For now, we need to kill these savages!" Patriarch Shandian said as he raised his Axe and swung at the army of the Northern Tribes.
Patriarch You Yi and the others nodded, joining back into the fray.
With the reinforcements of the alliance here, the battle changed its flow once more, and the Northern Tribes fell into a disadvantage.
Master Cull Mountain was being occupied by Little Shrubby and the Rainbow Pill Ancestor while Master White Mountain was being occupied by the Centennial Sword Ancestor and the Sky Precepts Ancestor.
With two of the Immortal Ascension realm experts of the tribes locked in battles, the only one that was left free was Master Bell Mountain himself.
He was currently trying to get a hold of the ancestral bell and was frantically fixing the errors.
"HAAA!" A few seconds later, he let out a strained grunt and took back the control of the Ancestral Bell.
An angry expression was present on his face as he gazed at the alliance.
"I had to split my attention with the barrier, and couldn't act with all my power, but now that ends!" Master Bell Mountain said as he raised his hands high.
~SHUA~
Thousands of runes formed in the air and swirled around the Ancestral Bell while crushing spirit Qi waves spread out from it. The waves were strong enough that the hills below it were directly flattened.
"NOW DIE!" Master Bell Mountain controlled the Ancestral Bell and let it fly forward.
The bell shot through the air along with the entire temple while letting out crushing waves.
~DENG~ DENG~ DENG~
Each time the Bell rung, a wave of energy was released and attacked the people of the alliance.
"ARGH!"
"MY LEGS!"
"No!"
Various cries of pain were heard as hundreds of alliance members were affected. The patriarchs of the alliance wanted to stop Master Bell Mountain, but they were being blocked by the other Dao Treading realm experts of the tribes.
There were still fifteen Dao Treading realm experts of the northern Tribes left and if left on their own devices, they would kill all the juniors of the alliance.
"Dammit!" Patriarch You Yi cursed as he saw several of the juniors die.
"Sky Precepts Ancestor! You should go and block Master bell Mountain, I'll handle it here." The Centennial Sword Ancestor said, seeing the situation turning bad again.
The Sky Precepts Ancestor nodded his head and rushed towards the Ancestral Bell.
~HONG~
He made a few hand seals and executed an unknown skill. Ribbons of spirit Qi formed in the air and made circles around the Ancestral Bell.
~DENG~ DENG~ DENG~
"Humph! You think that little trick can stop me?" Master Bell Mountain was pissed.
The ribbons of spirit Qi actually managed to contain the crushing waves of energy coming from the Ancestral bell, much to his surprise.
'Guess he's not the ancestor of the Sky Precepts Sect for nothing.' Master Bell Mountain thought.
The Sky Precepts sect ancestor was the oldest expert here right now and was even older than Master bell Mountain himself. It was unknown just how long the man had lived, but seeing his condition, it was evident that he didn't have long to live.
The patriarch of the Sky precepts sect knew this very well and was not happy with it all. There was a reason why the Sky Precepts Sect had kept to themselves for a long time, the reason being that their Immortal Ascension realm ancestor was at the end of his lifespan.
No matter how much he tried, the old man found no way to breakthrough to the Immortal realm and was forever stuck there. And in the recent years, he had entirely stopped trying.
The reason behind that the Sky Precepts sect couldn't afford to lose an immortal ascension realm expert to ascension. After all, breakthrough meant that the Sky Precepts sect ancestor would be forcefully sent to a higher world, leaving the Xiaofan world behind.
Without the support of an immortal ascension realm ancestor, the Sky Precepts Sect would no longer be in the top three ranking. There was simply no one to take the place of the ancestor and the patriarch was far from the Immoral Ascension realm.
The Sky Precepts sect originally wanted to hold back for as long as possible, but the invasion by the Northern Tribes left no choice for them. With how things were going, if they didn't act now, forget about keeping their position in the rankings, their entire sect might not exist.
The Centennial Sword Sect and the Rainbow Pill sect were in a relatively secure position and their ancestors still had enough lifespan left thus they were not as desperate.
But Patriarch Tian knew that once this war was over, their ancestor might not live for long.
~BANG~
~DENG~
The sounds of clashing were heard while the Sky Precepts Ancestor and Master Bell Mountain fought nonstop. Still, the power of the Ancestral Bell was too much in the end and it pushed back.
"ARGH!" Sky Precepts Ancestor cried in pain and was knocked back several meters.
"You should have just stayed put. At least you might have lived longer that way, now you're just going to die at my hand." Master Bell Mountain said as he controlled the Ancestral Bell to ram into Sky Precepts Ancestor.
~HONG~
The bell let out a loud hum and rushed towards Sky Precepts Ancestor.
~SHING~
But just when it was a few meters away from the old man, the sound of metal grinding against metal was heard.
"What?" The people watching were surprised to see the Bell stopping in place.
"So this is the Immortal Tool you northern tribes people have…" A new voice was heard over the battlefield.
"Who're you?" Master Bell Mountain couldn't help but question.
His eyes narrowed, and he assessed the person in the distance. The spirit Qi fluctuations coming from him were at the Dao Treading realm, but that was not all.
The old man in the distance was holding a sword by its handle, but what was shocking was the blade of the sword. The sword's blade was holding the Ancestral Bell in place!
"What? Just how long is that sword?" The people watching were stunned.
"Immortal… Immortal Weapon?!" Sky Precepts ancestor, who got to see the sword blade, closely felt the energy emanating from it.
At first, he couldn't believe his eyes and had to do a double take. But no matter how many times he checked, he got the same result.
"It really is an immortal weapon!" Sky Precepts Ancestor said out loud.
"Impossible!" Ancestor Bell Mountain too felt the energy coming from the sword and was alarmed.
Even the Ancestral Bell was humming in response, warning him.
"How can they have an immortal weapon!? They promised they would never sell to anyone else!" Master Cull Mountain couldn't help but say.
"Oh? So someone sold you the Immortal Tool… Interesting." Rainbow Pill Ancestor took note.
A few ideas appeared in his mind and their earlier assumptions of how the Northern Tribes had chanced upon an Immortal tool were almost proved.
"Grandfather!" Jing Luo called out, as his eyes brightened.
The one who had appeared was none other than Jing Wei, the person he and Lin Mu had been waiting for a long time.
Jing Wei glanced at his grandson and spoke, "Go assist Ke'er. We'll get rid of them all at once."
"Where is she?" Jing Luo asked.
~SHUA~
But just as he did, the air started to shake. Then, in the next moment, it was as if a crack had appeared in the sky.
~HONG~
The crack expanded and from it appeared a massive structure. The structure was over a kilometer in size and covered the sky of the battlefield.
"What is that!?" Everyone was stunned upon seeing the large structure.
"Myriad Armament Canopy Abode is here!" The voice of a woman was heard while Jing Luo flew toward it.
