CHAPTER 327: CHAPTER 322 BETRAYAL

Above the main city of Nine Infant Island, apocalyptic clouds of destruction shrouded the boundless world.

The terrifying pressure made the distant demons and human cultivators tremble with fear.

"Mo Zhantian, Lu Xiao, relying on just the two of you might not be enough." A wild aura emanated from the middle-aged man in black, his long black hair resembling sharp blades swaying in the wind.

At this moment, Liu Zonglin, the Palace Master of the West Emperor Palace, was already engaged in a fierce battle with the Mermaid at a distant location.

Additionally, other top-tier cultivators had also joined the battlefield, erupting into epic battles.

The sky above seemed like it might collapse and shatter at any moment, with the storm of destruction enveloping the boundless land. Yet, only their side remained unaffected, the rippling aftermath seemingly isolated by an invisible force.

"Enough or not, we’ll only know after trying." Mo Zhantian spoke aloud, and as his voice fell, a strange sound appeared in the sky as nine suns hung high, aligned like a beaded chain.

The sunlight poured down, as if intending to evaporate the sea, causing heat waves on the water, making it seem like it was boiling. The cultivators around the island frantically avoided the area, not daring to linger beneath this battlefield.

Mo Zhantian, the Sun Palace Master, and Lu Xiao, the Moon Palace Master, were both late-stage Great Cultivators of the Seven Realms and Myriad Phenomena. They could manifest celestial phenomena with a single thought, resonating with the great Dao, and possessing extremely destructive power.

Across from them, a bright moon rose above the sea, with the light of both the sun and the moon simultaneously shining on the middle-aged man in black.

The man in black slowly ascended, soaring upward; the light of the sun and moon fell on him, yet the destructive power capable of burning the sea could not shake him in the slightest, allowing the light to flow over his body.

"After so many years, is there still no progress?" His voice carried a tone of disdain, and it seemed that a vortex storm appeared on him, instantly absorbing all the light of the sun and moon into his body.

His hands extended, gathering the absorbed light of the sun and moon between his palms, lifting them into the air, eventually forming two suns, growing ever brighter.

The sunlight that descended seemed to be at his command.

He continued to soar upwards, then suddenly threw out his arms, seemingly tossing the two ’suns’ into the air. Two massive fireballs appeared in the sky, their violent and destructive aura causing the fighting humans and demons in the distance to tremble with fear.

Seeing the two fireballs hurling towards him, Mo Zhantian clasped his hands together, instantly forming a colossal fiery shield before him. The immense fireballs collided and exploded in the air, creating shockwaves that swept outwards, with screams heard from the distant combatants, affected by the aftermath.

Dark clouds shrouded this world, covering the light of the sun and moon. Nine Infant soared upwards, releasing an overwhelmingly terrifying demon energy, producing an enormous demonic shadow with fierce claws and fangs in the sky.

"After so many years, do you dare to come here to die? Today, all humans who came here will remain." Nine Infant spoke nonchalantly, and as his words fell, a terrifying vortex appeared in the sky, madly devouring the spiritual energy of the world, including the Sun and Taiyin Power.

However, Mo Zhantian and Lu Xiao remained calm, seemingly confident and composed.

At this moment, a sharp and oppressive aura suddenly descended upon the world.

"Sword Intent..."

"Such terrifying Sword Intent."

Cultivators across various battlefields sensed the presence of this Sword Intent.

Li Fan was already in combat, slaying an increasing number of demons under his sword. He also focused on the battle above Central Demon Island, where a giant demonic shadow appeared in the sky, with nine heads, dragon-like and resembling a jiao, which should be the true form of Nine Infant.

But at this moment, he also sensed the presence of that Sword Intent, an extremely powerful Sword Intent.

The world roared, oppressive to the extreme.

In a distant direction, it seemed that a sword was crying out in rage.

Suddenly, a blinding light seemed to come from beyond the heavens, piercing through from above the sea, this sword as if tearing through space, with resplendent Sword Intent causing the battlefield to momentarily halt.

"Nine Infant, meet your death."

A resonant voice came, as sharp as that sword.

"Buzz..."

Golden brilliance tore through space, instantly reaching Nine Infant, too fast for the naked eye to follow.

Then came a dull sound, as if the air above the sea quivered for a moment. Only then did they see that it was a giant golden sword, coming to slay the figure in black, but blocked by the foe with a single punch.

"What terrifying power." Li Fan thought silently, as the sword continued to hum, raising towering waves and pressing a storm of destruction towards the man in black, while a golden-robed elder traversed the void from afar, his black hair fluttering in the wind, hands behind his back, like a Sword God, unparalleled in majesty.

"Master."

The sword cultivators of West Flame Island simultaneously bowed towards the direction where the elder appeared, and only then did the other cultivators realize that the top-tier Great Sword Cultivator in seclusion from West Flame Island had entered the mortal realm.

To enter the mortal realm, with the intent to slay Nine Infant.

"Bang."

A loud bang as the giant golden sword was repelled, the elder waved his finger, instantly suspending the sword before him, countless golden sword lights flowing across the sky, oppressive to the extreme.

Yet, the elder at this moment also felt profoundly alarmed. The Nine Infant, indeed an Old Demon who had rampaged across the West Sea for many years, had reached an immensely terrifying level of power, daring to meet his sword with a barehanded punch.

In this vast land of Da Li, who could possibly accomplish this?

But the demon before him could.

"So this is your confidence?" The man in black smiled, looking at the approaching Island Master of West Flame Island, still hands folded, as if untroubled: "Has everyone arrived? Any more tricks left?"

"Demon, over ten years ago, you should have perished. Although I don’t know how you still live, today, I shall ensure you die once more." The Island Master’s voice was extremely sharp, as the omnipresent Sword Intent continuously surged toward Nine Infant.

"Oh really?" Nine Infant’s gaze swept around the few of them, an expression of disdain mixed with a somewhat eerie smile in his eyes, and he said, "This West Sea should also be unified."

"Island Master, stop wasting words with him. This Old Demon has lived for hundreds of years, let’s join forces and kill him together." Mo Zhantian said to the Island Master of West Flame Island.

"Alright." The elder nodded, pressing his finger forward, immediately causing Sword Aura to crisscross.

Mo Zhantian drifted towards Nine Infant, with blazing suns appearing at his palms. On the opposite side, the Moon Palace Master also approached Nine Infant, as the three top-tier powerhouses of the West Sea joined forces to annihilate Nine Infant.

Even the Palace Master of the West Emperor Palace and other cultivators at that moment looked towards that battlefield, their hearts surging with waves.

That battle would truly determine the future layout of the West Sea and possibly their fates.

"Can the three top-tier powerhouses join forces to kill the Nine Infant Great Demon?"

Everyone thought to themselves, their gaze uniformly directed towards that battlefield, even Li Fan and Lu Yuan, who were fighting demons, turned their gaze towards the battlefield, watching as the three powerhouses unleashed a destructive attack on Nine Infant.

The blinding light made it difficult for their eyes to open, causing a moment of confusion, followed by the sight of a terrifying destructive storm sweeping out, with a figure being blown away.

"Lu Xiao..."

A furious roar was heard, and when the destructive storm cleared, everyone saw that it was Sun Palace Master Mo Zhantian who had been blasted away.

And that roar was from his mouth.

"What happened?"

Many vaguely saw what transpired, a bad premonition surfacing in their hearts.

Li Fan and Lu Yuan also fixed their eyes on that side, seeing Lu Yuan’s face particularly pale.

"Moon Palace..." Her face was pale, and Li Fan glanced at her, saying, "It has nothing to do with you."

The Moon Palace Master had just sneak attacked Sun Palace Master Mo Zhantian.

Moon Palace, betrayed the human camp?

Sun and Moon Dual Palace, the sea-stabilizing force of the West Sea, a place of faith for many cultivators in the sea, Moon Palace, betrayal?

What exactly happened?

They couldn’t believe it, nor did they want to.

If the Moon Palace betrayed, it would spell destruction for the human camp.
