Chapter 1084: The Stalemate of Power

In response, his massive conjured sword fell.

The white sword light appeared weak and insignificant in comparison, as though it stood no chance against the enormous weapon.

But midway, the white light accelerated, piercing cleanly through the massive sword and hurtling toward Wanhua Yun.

His face twisted in shock.

Although he was a Mahayana stage cultivator and not far from the Tribulation Stage, he had never imagined that his carefully condensed giant sword would shatter so easily before his attack.

As Wanhua Yun struggled with the retaliatory force of the white light, the two Emperor level Devils seized the opportunity to strike.

One wielded a black staff topped with a sinister skull, radiating murderous energy as it descended.

The other, wielding a massive axe, swung decisively.

A spatial rift tore open in its wake, shredding nearby spiritual energy into disarray, though it quickly began to reform.

With a hum, countless white sword lights erupted from Master Lian, piercing through every direction.

Each skull struck by the sword light disintegrated instantly, vanishing without a single cry.

The devils attempted to regroup, but their efforts met with significant difficulty.

Of course, for an ordinary cultivator, the time he took to gather power was less than a second—still astonishingly fast.

But in battles at this level, even a fraction of a second could be a fatal flaw.

"Master Lian’s sword truly lives up to its reputation," said the devil who is wielding the staff. "The rumored power to dispel evil isn’t just a myth."

Although he spoke this, he refused to believe it.

While quality might surpass quantity, once the numbers reached a certain threshold, could the opponent still handle it so effortlessly?

He doubted it, so he decided to test his theory.

And the Devil Battlefield was the perfect arena for him.

Countless lives—whether devils or human cultivators—had been lost here, their lingering grievances and hatred serving as nourishment for his power.

Master Lian cast him a single glance.

Threads of dark energy began to rise from the earth, and the once-lush grass instantly withered.

He had no time to react further before another devil’s massive axe swung down upon him.

Master Lian swung his sword again. His moves were always simple: a swing, then another swing.

He needed no other techniques.

The simplest truths are the most profound.

That was all there was to it.

The vast sword light quickly shredded the giant axe into pieces.

The dissipating energy scattered in all directions, dyeing the sky a murky greenish-gray, oppressive and heavy.

They gave Master Lian no chance to breathe.

Almost immediately after the axe was destroyed, the attacks of Taipai Wuying and Qixi Yumen followed seamlessly.

"They’ve calculated every move perfectly—one attack following another without pause, denying him even a moment of respite. But they cannot kill him, not together. Instead, they aim to force him to unleash his full power."

In the Forbidden Grounds, Amalia and Kenny Lin who have observed the battle through the Sky Viewing Mirror, seeing the center of the battlefield clearly.

The entire sky was obscured by a chaotic web of eight powerful energies.

even of them relentlessly assailed the strongest force at the center.

That central force, seemingly still at ease, was undoubtedly Master Lian.

However, everyone knew their goal wasn’t to kill him—only to push him into revealing the extent of his strength.

Forcing someone to expend all their power was far easier than killing them outright.

"We can’t wait any longer. We must act now!" Gor’kan urged.

"No, not yet," Amalia disagreed. "The battlefield of eight Mahayana stage cultivators is filled with violent and terrifying energy. If you enter now, you’ll be caught in the crossfire and perish."

"We’re not afraid. We can use the Sky Viewing Mirror to teleport," said Zhar’khaen confidently.

"Exactly," Vryss’laar chimed in. "The Sky Viewing Mirror can do more than observe—it can teleport us. With Gor’kan’s strength, we can teleport 4,000 or 5,000 meters at once."

"The situation isn’t as simple as stepping in when you want to. With the intensity of this fight, your intervention would be significantly less effective," Kenny Lin said, narrowing his eyes.

The three Pixiu immediately understood. "But just sitting here waiting isn’t a solution either!" one protested.

"Now it’s a question of who can break this stalemate," Kenny Lin said thoughtfully. He then asked, "What’s the maximum range of the Sky Viewing Mirror?"

Gor’kan hesitated before answering, "Within a radius of 10,000 meters. But with the unstable space here, it’s hard to say if that range still holds."

"Try it," Kenny Lin commanded.

Gor’kan promptly channeled spiritual energy into the Sky Viewing Mirror.

The image on the mirror shifted, displaying a dense forest.

Within the forest crouched countless observers, their numbers staggering.

Many of them were in the Body Integration or Deity Transformation stages.

Normally, people would rarely encounter even a few of them in normal times, but here they were as numerous as leaves in the forest.

Witnessing a battle between Mahayana stage cultivators was a rare privilege, one they might never encounter again in their lifetimes.

Everyone stared at the battle intently, unwilling to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After all, watching the battle of such powerful figures could sometimes benefit their cultivation.

If lucky, it might even help them break through their bottlenecks.

Amalia and the others saw Peak Master Mengyao Hualin and Peak Master Fengzhu Huayao.

Unable to participate, they could only watch the battle anxiously from the outskirts.

Other sects and factions had also arrived, although most of them were from nearby regions.

The Sky Viewing Mirror continued to move, but at a range of nearly 10,000 meters, it could go no farther.

The nearest city to the Copperstone Region was still several tens of thousands of meters away.

Beyond that lay dense forests and an unbroken stretch of mountain peaks.

As for the condition of cities under siege by the devils, they could no longer be seen.

Following their instructions, Gor’kan redirected the Sky Viewing Mirror’s image back to the area outside the Forbidden Grounds.
