Overriding the Heaven

The sky was so overcast it seemed it could drip water.    

The ten thousand li of green mountains were now dyed red, revealing a bloody smell that could not be removed.    

Smoke rose from all directions, and there was no end to the slaughter.    

The large array around the Shattered Star Pavilion's sects and territories was also suffering from a fierce impact at this moment.    

Hundreds of thousands of demons, under the command of dozens of Grand Monster of Manifestation, started to attack one of the Six Major Sects s for five days and five nights.    

This time, the fiendish demons' attack was too sudden, without any warning.    

All the Immortal Traces and dynasties were caught off guard.    

For the first ten days, the situation could be described as one-sided.    

The fighting strength of the various schools and dynasties, in the short ten days or so, had at least lost thirty percent. The greatest part, however, had directly been destroyed and forever disappeared into the river of history.    

The situation in the Shattered Star Pavilion was not looking good.    

The first demon that went on a rampage appeared in the mountains that were less than fifteen thousand miles away from the Shattered Star Pavilion.    

No one knew when the Demon Dwellers dug out the tunnel, nor did anyone know how they managed to set it up for such a long time without anyone knowing.    

Compared to the losses caused by the outpouring of demons, the damage caused by the corpse tide was simply negligible.    

In the first ten days, Shattered Star Pavilion lost four Tianxin Masters and more than ten Earth Origin Stage disciples.    

Shattered Star Pavilion is not comparable to Heaven's Edge Sect.    

Sects of the Realm were not the same as sects of the Upper Sky.    

A sect of the upper nations, even if it were just a small or medium-sized sect, would have at least ten or so celestial mood stage Masters.    

And there were only a total of eighteen celestial mood stage Masters in the Shattered Star Pavilion.    

In the first ten days, they lost nearly a quarter of their members.    

In the following ten days, four more Tianxin Master had fallen, two more Tianxin Masters had been severely injured, and nearly thirty percent of the disciples had died.    

There were only six Celestial Heart Masters left in the sect who could fight.    

For the other disciples, even if they had more people, they would only have Genuine Force Stage, with very few in the Pulse Condensation realm.    

Amongst the demons outside the protective formation, there were at least twenty Grand Monster of Manifestation that were comparable to celestial mood stage!    

There were over a hundred thousand demons that filled the mountains and plains.    

Once the great protective formation was broken, then what followed would be a complete and utter massacre.    

Although the great protective formation of the Shattered Star Pavilion was laid down by the ancestor to absorb the star power, under the bombardment of so many demon clan experts, it had almost reached its limit.    

Just a few hours ago, a crack had appeared on the foundation of the formation that was maintaining the mountain protection array.    

As for Qin Shishi, who was in charge of maintaining the base, she informed Hua Muyan of this matter in time.    

If this continued, within half a day, the protective magical formation would be broken.    

And with the number of Transformational Stage experts amongst the demons, the moment the protective magical formation was broken, these dozens of Grand Monster of Manifestation would descend upon the Shattered Star Pavilion.    

With the current fighting strength of the Shattered Star Pavilion, it was simply impossible to stop them.    

Therefore, for the sake of the entire sect, this was the first time Shattered Star Pavilion had activated the Great Sect Earth Vein Array ever since the sect was built.    

The sect's protective magical formation prevented outsiders from invading.    

However, if the protective magical formation could not stop the enemy, then in order to preserve the sect's heritage and bloodline, the sect would send the disciples out through the large formation.    

Every sect had such a great formation.    

Even someone as strong as the Heaven's Edge Sect was no exception.    

However, under normal circumstances, only the sect in charge and the vice sect in charge would know of this secret formation.    

Because once the Earth Vein Array was activated, it meant that it was the time for the survival of the sect.    

Only under such a desperate situation would the great formation be activated. To some extent, it was more important than something like the Compendium Pavilion.    

Since the ancient texts were no more, he could still write them again. However, if all the sect disciples died, then this sect would truly never exist again.    

Thus, under Hua Muyan's orders, four hours ago, the remaining disciples, deacons, elders, and the like of the Shattered Star Pavilion all entered the great formation of the sect's hidden meridians through their respective peaks and teleportation formations, waiting for it to open.    

But at this time, the Lord of Shattered Star Pavilion's The Hall of Hearts, Qin Shishi, discovered something.    

Hua Muyan, who was in charge of the sect, and Tang Liang, who was promoted to vice head of the sect, were not in the array.    

Relying on the information from her identity jade token, she finally saw these two people in front of the hall that she was in charge of.    

He was in charge of the main hall, which was high up in the Shattered Star Pavilion. With his back facing the mountains, he faced the sect gate.    

At this moment, on the cliff in front of the hall, Hua Muyan and Tang Liang stood with their hands behind their back, facing forward.    

In front of them, everything from the ground to the sky was pitch black.    

It was a black color that made people unable to breathe. It was not a black cloud, but an uncountable army of demons.    

Obviously, these demons were not the result of the outbreak of demonic energy.    

This was because they gave off the feeling of a well-organized and disciplined army.    

This was a well-trained demon army; their goal was to eradicate cultivators and mortals!    

At that very instant, the demons that filled the sky were endlessly attacking the formation.    

Countless specks of light continued to shine on the protective magical formation.    

The surface of the great protective magical formation was also like a ripple, constantly trembling and rippling, giving off the feeling that it was on the verge of collapse and wouldn't last for long.    

When Qin Shishi saw Hua Muyan and Tang Liang, she hurriedly flew over with an anxious expression, "Senior Brother, why are you still here? The Earth Vein Array is about to open and needs you to take charge of the situation."    

Currently, there were still eight celestial mood stage s left in the Shattered Star Pavilion but two of them were severely injured, and three of the remaining six were right in front of the Hall Master.    

"We won't be going. Hurry up and prepare to activate the formation." Hua Muyan looked at Qin Shishi and said softly.    

"Why don't you go?" Qin Shishi had not finished speaking when she looked at Hua Muyan. Then, looking at the overwhelming demon army in the distance, she instantly understood the meaning of this sentence. Her face immediately turned deathly pale.    

"Senior … Senior Brother, you …. "You all..."    

She already understood that the two of them wanted to stay and stop the demon army.    

However, Qin Shishi really wanted to tell them that even though the two of them were third level celestial mood stage cultivators, among the opposing demons, the Greater Demons at the Manifestation stage were ten times, or even a dozen times more!    

If he stayed, he would only die!    

"Shi..." Qin Shishi wanted to persuade him otherwise.    

However, she only said one word before Hua Muyan waved her off.    

Obviously, Hua Muyan already knew what she wanted to say.    

"Junior sister, you should know better than me how far the Earth Vein Array can travel." Hua Muyan didn't directly say her reason, but asked a seemingly unrelated question first.    

Qin Shishi was stunned for a moment.    

Naturally, she knew this answer better than anyone else.    

"Twenty thousand kilometers." Qin Shishi answered confidently.
