A large number of Golden Core Cultivators quickly reached a consensus, the entire exchange process swiftly completed amidst the flicker of Divine Thought, taking only two or three breaths.

Soon:

With seven strands of Divine Thought sweeping in all directions, orders and Imperial Decrees were issued, and the Escape Light darting back and forth above the Seven Sects Alliance Headquarters rapidly decreased.

Within a quarter of an hour, hundreds of crucial nodes of arrays were already occupied by disciples of the Seven Sects Alliance, with dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators alone.

Seven Golden Core Cultivators each took their positions at the nexus, collectively operating Magical Power and urging Divine Thought, mobilizing the entire Grand Array’s strength.

"Buzz!"

The formidable Level four Array operated at full capacity, revealing a thin layer of golden light membrane, covering the exit of Mo Yuan.

The seven Golden Core Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, waiting with some anxiety and unease.

As time slowly passed, the seven Golden Core Cultivators stationed at the alliance headquarters consistently felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles, uneasy.

Meanwhile, within the borders of Da Mo, the mountain gates of seven sects and noble families, having received the plea for reinforcements, were shocked but did not dare to slacken, striving to provide all-out support.

For relatively powerful sects like Chentian Sect and the Changluo Xu Clan, they could leave a Golden Core Cultivator to guard the mountain gate as a precaution, while weaker forces dared not leave anyone behind, opting to make a complete exodus.

The leaders of the Seven Sects all understood the seriousness of this occurrence, facing an unprecedented enemy capable of shattering the third layer Magnetic Barrier, any overestimation was warranted.

"Boom!" "Boom!"...

A myriad of magnificent Escape Light, one after another, rushed from across Da Mo to the location of the Seven Sects Alliance Headquarters.

The great battle had yet to begin, yet a climate of fear and tension permeated the entire Da Mo Cultivation Realm, with countless cultivators perceiving a hint of the unexpected upheaval.

However, as numerous Golden Core Cultivators began arriving consecutively, the strength gathered by the Seven Sects Alliance grew increasingly formidable, and the mood of the seven guarding cultivators gradually calmed, feeling slightly relieved.

This sense of relaxation peaked when the powerful figures from Chentian Sect arrived riding their Escape Light.

"Rumble!"

Vast Escape Light descended from the sky, the glow dissipated revealing numerous figures, no less than seven Golden Core Cultivators coming together!

Over the past decade and more, relying on many treasures scavenged from Mo Yuan, the Seven Sects Alliance had successively birthed several Golden Core Cultivators, and the number of Golden Core Cultivators within the alliance had now reached over thirty.

Chentian Sect alone had birthed two new ones, at this moment, apart from one traveling outside and one stationed at the mountain gate, they were all present.

Yet the leader of the Chentian Sect delegation was not the famous Sect Leader ’Chenyu Qilin’ Murong Hai, but rather his father, the past Sect Leader, and now the Supreme Elder — ’Chenxing Celestial King’ Murong Xiao.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder, Sect Leader."

Weichang Palace piloted Escape Light, flew out to meet them, with a very respectful attitude.

"No need for formality."

Murong Xiao, with his hair and beard all white, yet his eyebrows ink black, an aged face and gloomy temperament, spoke:

"It’s been more than three hours, any movements beneath Mo Yuan?"

"None yet."

Weichang Palace slightly bowed, said:

"We have established permanently stabilized access points at the first and second layer Magnetic Barriers, and no signals have been reported from the related Monitoring Arrays."

"Do not be careless."

Murong Xiao slightly shook his head, said:

"Elder Qingxu, reportedly of the Five Elements Celestial Master Lineage, must be an expert in Array Dao, might well be able to elude those Monitoring Arrays."

Saying this, gestured:

"Let’s go inside and discuss."

"Yes."

Weichang Palace nodded in agreement, hurriedly led the Chentian Sect delegation into the Seven Sects Alliance Headquarters.

After the arrival of numerous Golden Core Cultivators from Chentian Sect, another two hours passed before the last two sects finally arrived at the alliance headquarters.

Thus:

In the entire Da Mo Cultivation Realm, the mobilizable Golden Core battle power of the Seven Sects Alliance had nearly all gathered here.

A total of twenty-four Golden Core Cultivators replaced those Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed at critical nodes and nexuses, drawing and operating the entire headquarters Grand Array’s strength more solidly and deeply.

Various Golden Core Ancestors divided to guard each direction, with Divine Thought constantly encompassing the exit of Mo Yuan, their Divine Techniques and Magical Treasures poised to strike; should any clues of someone appearing arise, a collective and thunderous blow would surely befall!

Yet after a full half hour passed, still no movement in Mo Yuan, not a hint of anyone attempting to emerge.

Some Golden Core Cultivators grew restless, exchanged Divine Thought for a moment, and one after another sought Murong Xiao’s opinion.

"Hmm..."

Murong Xiao frowned slightly, let out a cold laugh:

"Those two scoundrels still not appearing, either after breaking the Magnetic Barrier using taboo techniques, their injuries are more severe than we imagined; or they harbor grand ambitions, intentionally waiting for us to gather forces, then capturing everything in one go!"

"Regardless of which, I will not abide by their wishes, nor follow the steps they have planned!"

He rose, flicked his sleeve, and spoke with a resonant voice:

"Activate the array, follow me into Mo Yuan, to kill Qingxu and Nether Abyss these two scoundrels!"

To the Seven Sects Alliance, the headquarters now aggregated a full twenty-four Golden Core Cultivators, with no less than three Late Stage Golden Core powerhouses, further led by Murong Xiao, who boasts the Golden Core Perfection with the title ’Chenxing Celestial King’, this geographical advantage had become irrelevant!

Such immense strength was enough to decide the fate of countless beings in the Southwest Land, so how could mere two Golden Core Cultivators be a concern?

And as Murong Xiao issued the order:

The taut string in the hearts of the numerous Golden Core Cultivators instantly relaxed a bit, and they began to operate Magical Power and Divine Thought, preparing to assist Murong Xiao in retracting the array barrier.

Just in the moment their minds softened slightly:

In a pavilion at the location of an array nexus, as Murong Hai sat cross-legged, the shadow behind him silently twisted, revealing a shadow hand!

"Slash!"

Zhang Yao’s form was suddenly drawn from the shadows, forming a True Body Dharma Form, and that palm thrust straightforwardly towards Murong Hai’s head, yet disintegrated midway into a cyan airflow, flickering with dazzling purple lightning!!

The concealment, lightning-fast assault, and swift action of this strike had reached the point where even Golden Core Cultivators’ Divine Thought could not react, like a flash of lightning, fire flickering in an instant!

Incomparable shadow movement, leaping across the world, Wind and Thunder Heaven’s Fury, a palm splitting the celestial spirit!!

"What?!"

Murong Hai’s Divine Thought was unquestionably strong, but as he detected this fearful surprise attack, the thoughts of shock and astonishment in his mind only halfway through turning, with nothing yet done, Zhang Yao’s palm was already upon him!

A mere three feet distance, with Zhang Yao’s long-prepared, explosively rapid speed, even less than a tenth of an instant was needed, pushing Murong Hai into a life-and-death predicament!!

Divine Thought coaxed Magical Power, the might capable of demolishing hundreds of yards of hill, gathered in one palm, straightly cleaving at Murong Hai’s head!

"Die!!"
