The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1469

Chapter 1469: Chapter 1465: Anticipated Early Chapter 1469: Chapter 1465: Anticipated Early When Lu Huaming drew his sword, the disciples of the Great Tang Dynasty Government quickly retreated to a distance and took out various magical instruments to send messages.

At that moment, a fine white light flashed through the darkness behind them, and countless hair-like beams of white light silently shot out, striking those government disciples.

Over a dozen Tang Dynasty Government disciples were thrown into the air, their bodies riddled with holes, and they died without even a groan.

“Gong Shizhu, Chen Shizhu… who is hiding there?” Lu Huaming, seeing this scene, had his eyes splitting with rage. The radiance of the sword in his hand surged wildly, and a larger wave of sword qi slashed toward the darkness, illuminating it brightly.

A black figure stood there, shrouded in a layer of black qi, making it impossible to see his face, but the figure appeared somewhat hunched, leaning on a silver-colored crane-beaked walking stick, seemingly an old man.

The giant sword qi shot like lightning, slashing directly at the black figure's head.

“Frost Cold Nine Realms! The legendary sword immortal who once swept across the Three Realms, the divine sword left by the sword wanderers! The sword is good, but it's a pity you can't bring out its power,” an old voice came from behind the black mist, as the crane-beaked walking stick pointed into the void.

A silver staff shadow shot out, colliding with the giant sword qi.

With a thunderous boom, the blue sword qi broke upon impact.

A massive force rebounded, shaking Lu Huaming's body greatly, and he staggered back two steps, but the black figure remained motionless.

At this very moment, the situation at the other fissures was similar; the prohibitions inside were broken, black qi surged to the sky, and numerous demons reappeared.

In the northwest of Chang'an City, a series of palaces lay in succession.

This place, being quite some distance from the Imperial City, was heavily guarded by soldiers year-round, making it difficult not only for common people to approach but also for nobles from the court and even members of the royal family without permission.

This place is called Circular Mound, where the emperors of the Great Tang Dynasty have conducted their heaven-worshipping rituals.

However, these are only public knowledge. What they do not know is that Circular Mound is also the hub of the Great Tang Dragon Vein. The emperors chose to establish the heavenly sacrificial platform here, using the power of the Dragon Vein to pray to the heavens for prosperity and to suppress the national fate dragon vein with this platform.

In the center of Circular Mound, a massive sacrificial platform stood, made of dark green jade and gold steel, towering about dozens of feet high, round in shape, with three levels, and nine stairs extending from the top of the altar to the ground, the sight incredibly majestic.

Currently, the area around the sacrificial platform was filled with large golden flags, each embroidered with a golden dragon, shimmering in golden light, with dragon qi steaming.

These golden flags appeared to be the formation flags of a particular grand array, the emitted golden light connecting with each other to form a vast golden array.

The entire Circular Mound was enveloped by prohibitions. All spiritual light was blocked by the prohibitions, preventing any leakage that might disturb the common people.

At the very top of the altar, Yuan Tiangang sat cross-legged, murmuring incantations.

Besides Yuan Tiangang, around him sat a dozen other monks in ceremonial robes, also forming hand seals and casting spells, continually integrating magic spells into the surrounding golden array.

These individuals exuded immense power, all being at the True Immortal Stage. Shen Luo had previously seen the Fire Child and the elderly man in a golden robe among them.

Activating this grand array seemed extremely challenging, and even though everyone present was above the True Immortal Stage, they did not seem at ease; a few with slightly lower cultivation levels had fine beads of sweat appearing on their foreheads.

Yuan Tiangang saw this scene and flipped his hand to take out a Golden Talisman, which he crushed immediately.

A mist of purple Qi rushed out and entered into the Golden Array.

The golden light within the Array suddenly brightened and slowly condensed into a huge Five-clawed Golden Dragon Phantasm that roamed within the Array.

The Five-clawed Golden Dragon did not possess a strong aura, but it gave off a feeling of the revolving destinies of all things under heaven and earth which involuntarily invoked awe in people.

“At last, the Dragon Vein True Spirit has been summoned, and it seems there are no problems,” said a man with a mutton-chop beard, as if letting out a sigh of relief.

“Not quite, look at the lower abdomen of the Dragon Vein True Spirit,” another female True Immortal Cultivator pointed at the lower belly of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon, which was stained with a trace of blood.

“This is the evil Qi from the Dragon-breaking Nail; it indeed has affected the Dragon Vein. Fellow cultivators, let's work together to operate the True Dragon Limitless Array and dispel this trace of evil Qi!” Yuan Tiangang said.

Everyone loudly agreed all at once and continued to operate the Golden Array, within which rivers of golden light flowed, repeatedly cleansing the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Phantasm, causing that trace of blood to gradually thin.

“Fortunately, the erosion on the Dragon Vein True Spirit is not deep, another hour of operation should complete the task,” Yuan Tiangang said, his expression relaxing.

At that moment, a thunderous rumble came from all over Chang'an City; a few breaths later, thick streams of black Qi burst from the underground, as if the hands of a giant demon were dancing in the night.

“What's going on?” The True Immortal Cultivators within the Array were startled by the sounds, but the prohibitions around Circular Mound prevented them from sensing the situation outside.

None of them got up to go out and check since the Array was still operating and they couldn't move from their positions.

Amid their hesitation, a streak of Escape Light shot from afar and landed before the altar revealing a teenager in yellow robes.

“Greetings to the National Master and all court officers, the prohibitions that were set in the fissures around the city have all been broken, and a large number of demons have appeared, greatly outnumbering the earlier count,” the youth in yellow robes reported urgently as he knelt down.

Hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked and turned to look at Yuan Tiangang.

“There's no need to panic. It was anticipated that the demons might attack again, and I've already arranged several officers at the Astronomical Bureau who are ready to activate the City-Protecting Array and the Four Symbols Heaven-Time Array at any moment. No matter how many demons come, there's no need to worry,” Yuan Tiangang said calmly.

Upon hearing these words, everyone finally calmed down.

“National Master, you just mentioned that someone predicted the demons' second attack, was it you?” asked a tall white-haired old man.

This man wore a purple-gold robe and held a golden thread whisk. His cultivation level had reached the peak of the Late True Immortal Stage, just half a step away from the Taiyi Stage, making him the highest among the True Immortal Cultivators present.

“It wasn't, it was a Daoist friend from outside,” Yuan Tiangang answered.

The white-haired old man raised his eyebrows, curious about this person, but considering the urgency of the situation, he did not inquire further.

“Return to the Imperial City immediately, take this Nine Dragon Token, and have half of the remaining officers in the palace stay to protect His Majesty and the royal family, while the other half goes to protect the people within the city,” Yuan Tiangang said as he handed a Golden Token to the youth in yellow robes.

In the years after the disaster of demons, the Three Realms gradually became chaotic, and besides cultivating the Tang Dynasty Government Disciples, the Great Tang Dynasty had also been accumulating strength, recruiting many skilled individuals into the palace, with most of the True Immortals present being court officers.

The youth in yellow robes agreed and turned to fly towards the Imperial City.
