Chapter 900: System Mission, Defend the Realm Wall
Editor: Henyee Translations
This was a sign that the realm barrier was on the verge of shattering.
The appearance of the crack changed everyone’s expressions.
If the demon beast race could enter the Floodgate Realm physically, the difficulty of the battle would undoubtedly skyrocket, multiplying the challenge several-fold.
Given the physical prowess of the demon beast race, even if the human cultivators could win, the losses would be grievous.
“Husband, the protective array has been set up!”
An array disk, radiating mysterious light, flew from afar and was caught by Jiang Chengxuan.
At this critical moment, Shen Ruyan had timely completed the setup of the protective array with her team.
“Good! That’s very timely, wife.”
Jiang Chengxuan let out a sigh of relief and joyfully responded.
He merged his Primordial Spirit into the array disk, and a perfect protective array emerged in his mind.
This protective array was an extremely sophisticated defensive array.
Relying on the Floodgate Realm barrier as a foundation and setting numerous anchors upon it, the barrier could be merged with the protective array.
At that point, everyone within the array could contribute to supporting the barrier.
“Everyone, please channel your Dharmic power into the protective array to ensure the barrier remains intact!” Jiang Chengxuan communicated to all present.
Everyone nodded, no longer holding back. They unleashed all their power.
Meanwhile, on the demon beast realm’s side, Saint Rosy Cloud also roared at the demon beasts.
“Attack the barrier with all your might! Break into the Floodgate Realm!”
“Any demon beast who crosses the barrier will be rewarded by the demon beast alliance!”
Thus, under the incentive of rewards, each demon general was spurred into a frenzy.
They thrashed their enormous bodies against the barrier in a violent a.s.sault, like a series of mountains collapsing under their weight.
The battle reached a fever pitch at this moment, where control over the barrier meant gaining an endless advantage.
If the demon beast race broke through, their forces would invade, causing widespread destruction in the Floodgate Realm.
However, if the barrier remained intact, the demon beast race could only helplessly watch from afar, and Jiang Chengxuan and his allies would secure a perfect victory in this first battle against the demon beast race.
Rumble!
The demon beast army unleashed brute force in a furious bombardment against the barrier, with the Demon Saints especially targeting the crack with relentless attacks.
On the other side, within the protective array, countless cultivators from the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley stood firm, continuously channeling Dharmic power into the array.
Seated at the heart of the array, Jiang Chengxuan controlled the array, igniting pillars of light within it to bolster the barrier, constantly reinforcing and repairing it.
[Ding.]
[System mission issued. Host, please achieve the achievement of guarding the realm barrier against the attack of the demon beasts.]
At the same time, Jiang Chengxuan’s mind suddenly echoed with the system’s voice.
Yet, he didn’t allow this to distract him too much. The system’s mission only bolstered his resolve.
Protecting the barrier was already his top priority, both as his duty as the Vice Sect Master and for the sake of the human race.
This battle demanded his all. Nonetheless, since the system offered a reward, Jiang Chengxuan was naturally pleased.
Given the task’s level, he expected the reward to be significant.
Thus, Jiang Chengxuan focused his full attention, fully immersing himself in the protective array.
Being a master of arrays and deeply knowledgeable in the principles of arrays, combined with the Heavenly Calculation Technique he possessed, he maximized the power of the array.
Even with the realm barrier weakened by fifty percent due to the Serpent’s Fang, it was now as impregnable as ever under his operation.
No matter where the demon beasts attacked, Dharmic power was promptly deployed to protect the spot, even the cracks painstakingly created by the Demon Saints were slowly repaired under Jiang Chengxuan’s efforts.
“What kind of array is this?!”
Saint t.i.tan Peak roared, his expression ugly with rage. The other Demon Saints were equally incensed.
They had been confident in breaking through the barrier, but it was staunchly defended by the protective array.
“I don’t believe this!”
The Demon Saints desperately increased their power, unleas.h.i.+ng their divine powers, but the barrier, as if covered by a layer, seemed to weaken their attacks with a strange force.
Yet, the demon beasts did not easily give up.
The deepsea nomads and eldars were attacking the other realm barriers.
The demon beasts could not retreat so easily.
“Keep attacking, let’s see who falters first!”
The bloodthirsty demon beast hordes bombarded day and night, while the cultivators of the Floodgate Realm defended tirelessly.
This standoff dragged on for months, a true test of will and endurance on both sides.
Until one morning, the system’s voice once again rang in Jiang Chengxuan’s mind.
[Ding.]
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the task of defending the realm barrier against the demon beasts’ a.s.sault.]
[Reward received: Barrier Protection Talisman!]
[Upon activation, the Barrier Protection Talisman can turn the realm barrier into a super-state, protecting the realm barrier from destruction.]
[Reward received: G.o.dslayer Heavenly Bead!]
[Upon activation, the G.o.dslayer Heavenly Bead can instantly annihilate all enemies within a certain range, completely erasing their Primordial Spirits.]
Storing the system’s rewards, Jiang Chengxuan’s weary spirit was rejuvenated.
A Barrier Protection Talisman would usually seem inconsequential, but during the times of a cross-realm war, it became a super trump card.
“The system really knows what I need,” Jiang Chengxuan thought appreciatively.
And the G.o.dslayer Heavenly Bead’s effect was brutally straightforward and overbearing—instantly annihilating all enemies within a certain range, a power akin to cheating.
For cultivators at their realm, who have merged with the Dao of heaven, they are extremely difficult to kill.
If an equal-level enemy wishes to flee, it’s nearly impossible to stop them.
However, the G.o.dslayer Heavenly Bead is different. Not only does it instantly annihilate, but it also erases the Primordial Spirit and operates over an area.
Its power is truly terrifying.
“The demon beasts are retreating! The demon beasts are retreating!”
It was only then someone exclaimed, noticing that the demon beast army was gradually moving away from the realm barrier.
Countless gigantic demon beasts, dragging their weary bodies, retreated like a mountainous tsunami, a stark contrast to their vigorous arrival.
This battle had exhausted both sides, pus.h.i.+ng their bodies and strength to the limit.
Many would likely take years to return to their peak condition.
“Husband, are you alright?”
It was then that Shen Ruyan, accompanied by elders from the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, arrived.
Weariness was evident on everyone’s faces—a rare sight among cultivators.
“I’m fine, how about all of you?”
Jiang Chengxuan replied with a smile to Shen Ruyan before addressing the group.
Everyone nodded in response. Despite the war not being over and only temporarily holding the Eastern Sky Domain, they had not suffered too many losses.
Suddenly, a message arrived.
Jiang Chengxuan read it with a furrowed brow before sharing it with the elders.
It was a battle report from other domains, and the situation seemed grim.
They hoped for a.s.sistance from those who could spare the strength.
