The Myriad Dao Sect is a sect with 10,000 years of history. It is the last great sect still standing after their reforms. The sect is truly one to be feared, the founder was the last person to ascend before the passageway then to the higher realm collapsed. He was aslo the first person in Di Yue to reach the Divine Bridge realm, opening a new pathway for cultivators. Alas, his legacy has been tarnished by his descendants and successors, who became petty tyrants and gorged themselves on the World.
Today, they shall fall and bring about the end to this tyrannical era. That was the thought on Jiang Zihan mind. Since he joined 26 years ago, this would be the first and only time the entire 11 pillars would be joining hands together for a mission. A testament to the strength of the Myriad Dao Sect.
"Jiang Zihan, you would be the spear of our attack, the Vanguard. Break the sect formation and shield. Fang Beihua, you and your entire formation corps are going in immediately after he breaks it to take over the entire formation in the sects. Ouyang Hu, you and your subordinates head to the Five-colored peak to prevent the alchemists and apothecaries from giving us any nasty surprises. The rest of us will storm in together. Wait, Qiong Lan, stay behind and oversee from behind. Cover us and expect anything. This is the end. With the fall of this sect, the era of sect Imperialism will end. We will usher in a new era of peace and prosperity, following the ways of the heaven!" With a calm, authoritative tone, Lu Zhao delivered his instructions. His calm is truly astonishing, as if he had seen their victory already. The Myriad Dao Sect has 8 Divine Bridge cultivators, and the sect master was rumoured to be in the 3rd step already. They have another 30 golden core powerhouses. This is not going to be easy.
Of course none of this is showing on Jiang Zihan's face. Nor on Lu Zhao's. Both are pillars of calm. The Star-River Sword God stood there, nodding his head to the Heaven bearing pillar instructions, staring at the golden barrier in front of him. His hand was already on his sword, as if he can't wait to test his sword against it.
" Okay, I'm starting. Descent of the great River" Jiang Zihan drew his sword and struck. The heaven opened and a river of sword struck the great sect's Barrier formation. Cracked spread through the barrier. The golden light dimmed. It became transparent. Behind the barrier, they could see thousands of cultivators working furiously to pour their Qi into the barrier.
Jiang Zihan laughed. He struck again. "Ten thousand rivers return to one" The sky opened up. The earth trembled. Mountains vanished. The barrier disappeared. As if it was never there. The disciples behind the barrier gaped at him. He laughed again. Yes, today would be the end of the great sects.
Jiang Zihan was breathing heavily. That took quite a toll. Those were 2 of his strongest moves. But they didn't know that. Now they are scared. He smiled. Fang Beihua darted past him. She landed in the midst of the disciples guarding and surrounding the formation. She smiled sweetly at them. They died. All of them at once. They didn't even know how or when they died. They very formation they were standing on was what leached their entire life force.
Fang Beihua, Sovereign of Myriad Arrays. Former disciple of Myriad Dao sect. Expelled when her talent superceded a certain peak master's son and she refused to become his concubine. Already renowned when in the sect, she was saved by Lu Zhao, after cultivation was crippled and was condemned to death. The 4th seat. She has studied the formation of the sect for 40 years. Now her day of vengeance has arrived.
They heard a sigh. "Juniors that don't know the height of Mt. Tai. You have eyes but you cannot see. You have caused quite the commotion. Now it's time for you to leave. The heavens itself will tolerate you no more. Heaven's Rebuke". The sky clouded over. The sun disappeared. Everywhere went dark. Then, light. First little. Then lightning. It rained down. Everywhere went bright. Lightning in the form of dragons and tiger. They devoured everything in their path. Lightning struck a mountain nearby and it became a volcano. Lava surged out and engulfed the entire area. The earth quaked. A vast gulf appeared in the earth and continue widening, the two edges appearing to run away from each other. It was chaos unleashed.
"Pillars of heaven, foundation of earth". Ouyang Hu heard Lu Zhao's voice. Everything became calm. The heavens and earth became stabilized. He looked at the 1st seat. Lu Zhao stood calmly. " Old Shi Jie, it doesn't befit you to hide behind your disciples. Come out".
The Sect Master of Myriad Dao Sect, a 3 step Divine Bridge Master, Heavens Equal, strode out. He walked as if he owns the very heaven itself and none dare opposed him. In that moment, all of Fang Beihua's formation failed, stopped working. Qiong Lan's beast whimpered, Jiang Zihan sword quivered in it's sheath. "You foolish juniors have been spreading corruption under the heavens, walking with your heads at heaven, do you think this Old One is afraid of you. Today, you shall all die without a place of burial. Myriad Dao Sect, Eliminate them!"
5 men and 3 women with presence similar to the Sects Master walked out and stood beside him. They were Divine Bridge masters. 9 in a single sect. They're not up to 50 in the entire world. More than one third are gathered here today. 9 on the sect. 8 of the 11 pillars. It was the first time under the heavens such an occurrence happened.
With a clap of thunder, they clashed.
