Now, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, for his sake, had mobilized tens of thousands of disciples and all its Earth Immortals to engage in a massive battle against dozens of other Immortal Sects. They were about to face hundreds of Earth Immortals. Once the Sect Protection Array was broken, who knew how many of the Earth Immortals and Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect disciples currently floating behind him would perish, their Dao extinguished, and their hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years of cultivation would come to naught!

And all of this is largely because of me! Of course, the reason they value me so much is undoubtedly because of my displayed artifact refining technique. But so what? At the very least, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, although somewhat domineering, is far more righteous compared to the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect and other Immortal Sects!

Thinking of this, a strong battle intent gradually rose in Lin Xuankong's eyes.

「After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea,」

the numerous Earth Immortals and disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect had all flown to the summit platform of the Thirty-Sixth Spirit Peak. Subsequently, these Earth Immortals and Immortal Sect disciples, along with Lin Xuankong and Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect who stood together, all turned their gazes westward.

At this moment, through the transparent barrier of the exceedingly thick Sect Protection Array, everyone could clearly see a vast expanse of clouds drifting over from the direction of the Spiritual Crane Immortal City! These hundreds of clouds approached from the west. Each cloud spanned several thousand zhang in diameter and was incredibly dense. Hundreds of these massive clouds linked together, nearly blanketing the entire western sky. Beneath these clouds, it was so dark that day had turned to night!

Most astonishingly, atop each gigantic cloud stood an Earth Immortal thousands of zhang tall! Hundreds of clouds, each thousands of zhang wide, and hundreds of Earth Immortals, who had activated their Immortal Bodies to stand thousands of zhang tall, were all drifting in unison towards the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's location. This spectacle was far beyond what "blotting out the sky and covering the earth" could describe!

As this scene unfolded before Lin Xuankong's eyes, his expression couldn't help but shift.

Even though he prided himself on being fully prepared, the sight of hundreds of Earth Immortals, each thousands of zhang tall, blotting out the sky as they approached, still caused an irrepressible sense of oppression to well up in his heart! After all, these were all Earth Immortals who possessed wondrous abilities, nearly indestructible Golden Cores, and terrifying Immortal Bodies! Each of these advancing Earth Immortals, if they so wished, could effortlessly slay dozens, even hundreds, of Ninth-Layer Perfection Cultivators with a mere wave of their hand. To them, Tier Nine Cultivators capable of soaring through the sky and burrowing into the earth were no different from ants!

At this moment, it wasn't just Lin Xuankong who felt a sense of pressure watching this scene; the Earth Immortals and disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect also revealed deep apprehension in their eyes. Even the three Supreme Elders of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect—those with the most profound cultivation and the longest lifespans—wore solemn expressions, their pupils slightly constricted. These three Grand Elders—Sui He, Qing He, and Cang He—were all ancient beings who had lived for over ten thousand years and had naturally witnessed countless grand spectacles. Yet, despite their vast experience over ten millennia, they had never before seen a scene of hundreds of Earth Immortals arriving in such unison!

Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, gazing at the 'dark clouds' obscuring the western sky, felt the corner of his eye twitch slightly as he sneered, "I always thought Flaming Blade Duan River had always been a tyrant, committing all sorts of misdeeds, and had long since earned a vile reputation in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty! Who could have imagined, who could have imagined that he, like a single mouse dropping spoiling the soup, could actually stir up such a huge commotion? Heh, over three hundred Earth Immortals... I'm afraid ninety percent of the Immortal Sects in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty have sent their Earth Immortals here!"

A sharp glint flashed in Grand Elder Sui He's eyes, and he then said in a solemn tone, "Sect Leader Duan Yucheng of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect and its four late-stage Fifth Grade Grand Elders are among them. The three late-stage Fifth Grade Sect Leaders from the Five Elements Immortal Sect, and its six Fifth Grade Perfection Supreme Elders are also present. Furthermore, numerous Fifth Grade cultivation Sect Leaders and Elders from the Profound Pure Immortal Sect and the Guangqing Immortal Sect have all arrived! Hmph! These old codgers... I haven't seen most of them for several thousand years, yet this time, they've all scurried over!"

Elder Qing He, standing beside Grand Elder Sui He, said coldly, "It's good that they've all come! Ever since the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty united to battle the Profound Yin Demon Sect, and after many Sixth Grade and Seventh Grade Sect Leaders and Elders perished, it has been thousands of years since the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty has witnessed such a grand commotion! Since they've come to join this 'excitement,' then let them pay a sufficient price! Our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect is one of the Immortal Sects with the longest heritage in the Western Region of the Central Divine Dynasty. However, due to the strict edicts of our Forefather, we haven't engaged in major hostilities with the surrounding Immortal Sects for several thousand years! It seems that because our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect hasn't fought anyone for millennia, they all think we're easy to bully!"

At this moment, facing the hundreds of Earth Immortals who arrived, obscuring the sky, although the many Earth Immortals and disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect revealed looks of apprehension, what filled their eyes even more was a surging battle intent! Witnessing this, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but nod inwardly, a hint of approval flickering in his eyes.

Suddenly, from beyond the Sect Protection Array of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, a burst of earth-shattering laughter suddenly erupted. Following this, from among the hundreds of Earth Immortals who had blotted out the sky, one figure—the tallest among them, fully five thousand zhang in height—accelerated while laughing heartily, and came to float above the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Protection Array! This individual wore an enormous mask, upon which flickered countless crimson flames. The Immortal Yuan Fluctuation emanating from him was exceptionally potent, giving him a rather enigmatic appearance.
