Aspiring to the Immortal Path

Boom!

Above the Gigantes Domain.

The Rosecloud Domain had turned into a blazing sun, exuding heat and light as it charged at the combined army of Immortals and demons.

Though those Immortals and devil chiefs had all assumed their enormous true forms, they were still tiny specks when compared to a planet.

The Rosecloud Domain rumbled forward like a chariot, and they were the mantises feebly trying to block its way. The first group to get in its way was instantly crushed.

Those behind realized that something was wrong, and scattered.

Rays of light illuminated the void as they fled in all directions. Meanwhile, the Rosecloud Domain continued forward, crushing those that couldn’t escape in time.

It left a gory trail of corpses in its wake, drifting in the void.

This collision had obliterated a large portion of the combined Immortal–demon army.

The combined attack of three Gold Immortals had slain a great number of demons, but when compared to this collision, the Infinite Rain was a mere drizzle.

After all, Gold Immortals were just people, while the Rosecloud Domain was an entire world!

“Bastard!”

An Immortal general’s face twisted in rage.

His name was Bei Xuanzhen, and his title was ‘the Wildermountain Celestial Lord’. He was a True Immortal that Yu Cheng had specifically left behind to command the court’s armies in wiping out whoever was left.

He hadn’t expected those “remnants” to deal him such a savage blow before he could even do anything.

He watched as the Rosecloud Domain finally came to a stop millions of kilometers away, after which it started to turn around. Bei Xuanzhen shouted, “Lay down the Immortal Forest Formation, and execute the Ocean Spanner Divine Connection!”

The army of the Court of Myriad Domains was by far the strongest when it came to discipline and organization. Even though it had just taken such a heavy blow, it did not fall into disarray, swiftly assembling into a formation and using Divine Connections.

As the Ocean Spanner Divine Connections were unleashed, an artificial ocean of spiritual energy emerged in the endless void.

This ocean was so large that it could engulf more than half of the Rosecloud Domain. It exuded immense waves of gravity that turned the void into a mire.

As the Rosecloud Domain charged again, it ran into the ocean, and even with the power of a domain, it still ended up being restrained. After all, this was a domain, and attacking was not in its nature. It wasn’t an art relic and was thus extremely difficult to control. Having it charge back and forth was already an excellent result. This was why the court’s army was not worried that the Rosecloud Domain would go around.

Of course, this ocean could only slow a domain, but this was enough. Bei Xuanzhen didn’t seek to completely stop the Rosecloud Domain’s advance, only slow it down so that they had time to react. And making it easier to evade also gave the demons an opportunity…

The chaotic Primordial Fog demons didn’t know combination formations like the court army, but they had their own solutions.

For them, offense was the best defense!

Numerous demons charged at the Rosecloud Domain, flying toward the Astral Winds, Starsnatch Pagoda, and Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

After the charge, the Rosecloud Domain’s Astral Wind region was rapidly weakening as the price to be paid for that attack. Defensive power had been traded for a formidable offense, which gave the demons an opening, an opportunity to descend to the surface of a domain without requiring any sort of passage!

As the demons snarled and bellowed, they revealed their savage sides.

If one looked up from the surface of the Rosecloud Domain, one could see countless savage creatures plunging from the heavens.

There were banshee-like demons, winged demons that flew like birds, demons with giant round bellies, ones with only a single leg, and others in the forms of dragons, tigers, insects, fish, even flowers and trees.

A vast parade of monstrosities that heralded the end of days had come.

The cultivators of the Rosecloud Domain were unafraid of this apocalyptic sight, calmly looking up at the approaching demons.

Several decades of warring with the demons had given them vast experience as well as supreme confidence.

No matter how strong the demons were, they would be trodden under their feet!

All that waiting had long ago worn away their patience, and all of them were looking forward to the coming slaughter!

Xu Miaoran’s eyes also shone with excitement. “Maintain course! Rosecloud Prism Formation, activate!”

As the demons charged, the mountains across the Rosecloud Domain began to light up, shooting beams into the sky. As these beams landed on the demons, they erupted with destructive might that caused the demons to wail in pain or even be incinerated on the spot.

Of course, the stronger demons were able to evade or resist the “rain of light” and land.

Yet what awaited was not a flock to massacre, but the ready-and-waiting Rosecloud cultivator army.

Countless shuttles flew in from all around. With the help of the Eight Ocean Mountains, Xu Miaoran could quickly identify where the demons were going and issue orders.

The shuttles flew back and forth across the Rosecloud Domain, chasing down the demons lucky enough to survive the lasers and enter the domain.

Thus, the unfortunate demons found that no matter where they landed, how they tried to hide, or what disguises they took up, they could not escape the human cultivators. Worst of all, they never ran into weaker cultivators. If a Celestial Heart demon landed, they would swiftly be targeted by two or three Celestial Heart True Persons. If two Violet Palace devils got together, an Earth Immortal would be there to welcome them.

The omniscience of the Eight Ocean Mountains turned the demon invasion into a slaughter, and it was also a stage for Xu Miaoran to show off her prowess. After following Tang Jie for so many years, Xu Miaoran finally had the opportunity to command a battle on her own, and it was a glorious victory.

Of course, the battle on the Rosecloud Domain was only one part of the overall battlefield.

The endless void was still the site of the main battle!

After the first charge, the Rosecloud Domain had turned around and was preparing for a second, all while being invaded by the demons.

But just like Bei Xuanzhen had expected, a domain charge, while powerful, had a slow cooldown time. The first charge was fine because they had been ready and waiting for it, but the second took quite a while to prepare, and even when they saw the Ocean Spanner Divine Connection create a swamp in front of them, the Rosecloud cultivators couldn’t turn around, simply try to push through.

Bei Xuanzhen smugly said, “You really think you’ve won? Come and experience the real power of the Court of Myriad Domains!”

He turned his head and roared, “World-Suppressing Divine Court!”

With this roar, the distant Court of Myriad Domains began to turn.

As it turned, it released halo after halo of light, the entire court thrumming with power as countless Dao Runes emerged.

The Court of Myriad Domains which consisted of countless palaces had suddenly become a single being, and even the nature of that light had changed, suffused with a profound yet familiar power.

A treasure light!

“A divine weapon!” a devil chief cried out. “They actually refined the Court of Myriad Domains into a divine weapon!”

Yes, a divine weapon!

Yu Cheng had started rebuilding the Court of Myriad Domains as soon as he returned.

Everyone thought that his goal was to turn the court into a supreme Immortal Domain that transcended the myriad domains.

But they were completely wrong.

What he wanted was not a beautiful garden, but an unstoppable weapon!

Palace-type treasures were a rare class of treasure renowned for being able to merge offense and defense into a single treasure. Horizon Ocean Pavilion’s number one treasure was its Dao armament, the Horizon Ocean Pavilion, so famous that the organization had taken its name. But while the Horizon Ocean Pavilion was large, it was puny compared to the Court of Myriad Domains.

The Court of Myriad Domains was home to tens of thousands of palaces, each palace the size of Horizon Ocean Pavilion. So just how majestic would the treasure be if one combined all these palaces into one?

To create what was perhaps the largest treasure in the cosmos, Yu Cheng had even used the power of the Great Dao to fuse them together. Even then, this treasure could not be considered a Dao armament, for the Dao was used here to merge the entire court together. Making the court into a real Dao armament would require so much energy, resources, and Dao Will that not even Yu Cheng and his subordinates could provide it.

But even if this wasn’t a Dao armament, it was still a terrifying divine treasure, able to crush anything with its Divine Connections. Just like how the Jewel Immortal Sovereign had been able to crush the Infinite Palace with eleven strikes of her finger, it could make up with numbers what it lacked in quality.

The Court of Myriad Domains might have only been able to use Divine Connections, but the power it possessed was beyond the ability of most Dao Arts, and even Dao armaments would fall under that torrent of energy.

The court’s divine light illuminated the void, and the Immortal army cheered.

But Xu Miaoran simply smirked in disdain.

“Yu Cheng… he couldn’t hide everything from my husband. Since you’ve used the Court of Myriad Domains, I’ll let this lot see what we’ve been hiding. It’s time for the Rosecloud Domain to show its true power!”

As she spoke, the Rosecloud Domain erupted with light once more, the same kind of treasure light as the Court of Myriad Domains.

The domain had been refined into a weapon!
