Following a Hundred Years of Cultivation, I’m dying Before I Got Cheats Chapter 896 – Arranging the Battle, The Demon Beasts Attack

Chapter 896: Arranging the Battle, The Demon Beasts Attack
Editor: Henyee Translations

Under the orchestration of Jiang Chengxuan, the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley swiftly proceeded with their preparations, erecting formidable cities from the barren lands of the Eastern Sky Domain and setting high-level arrays along critical paths in anticipation of enemy incursions.

Joining forces with the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley in defending the Eastern Sky Domain were the cultivators from the Qian family and Feitian Sect.

A month after the forces of Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley had united, representatives from the Qian family and Feitian Sect finally rushed over.

The teleportation platforms of each sect, linked directly to their respective strongholds, were scattered across the vast expanse of the Eastern Sky Domain.

This assembly was the result of the sect leaders’ prior communications, aimed at coordinating a pre-war council, hence the gathering of representatives from each sect.

Both the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley had made significant contributions in various conflicts, demonstrating formidable strength.

Among the sects responsible for the Eastern Sky Domain, there was an unspoken consensus to regard Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley as the leaders of the alliance.

With Jiang Chengxuan of Haoran Sect and Shen Ruyan of Thunderclap Valley not only being leaders of their respective sects but also a married couple, their united front naturally positioned the couple as the principal commanders for the upcoming war.

Therefore,

The first war council of the Eastern Sky Domain alliance commenced within a newly erected hall of the Haoran Sect.

At this moment, in the newly built meeting hall.

Representatives from the Qian family and Feitian Sect were present, with an ancestor from the Qian family and an elder from the Feitian Sect called Saint Sky Walker.

Alongside Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, other elders from both the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley participated in the meeting, all of whom were familiar faces to one another due to their frequent interactions.

“Welcome, everyone,” began Jiang Chengxuan, with nods of acknowledgement from the attendees.

“This time, external foes covet the Floodgate Realm, aiming to seize the resources of the new world.

This is a provocation against all cultivators of the Floodgate Realm, an affront that none of us can tolerate,” Jiang Chengxuan stated from his seat of authority.

Despite his relative youth, none dared underestimate him, given his title as the vice sect master of the Haoran Sect and the formidable backing of his Mahayana Shifu.

“I hope that each sect can support one another in this fight, to stand united against our enemies and coordinate our defenses,” he continued. “I propose that we share our defensive plans, complementing each other’s strategies. What do you think?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he spread out two defense maps on the table.

“If the Haoran Sect is willing to lead, we naturally should not hold back,” the elder from the Qian family agreed, signaling his aide to present their defense map.

Though their details and arrangements seemed simpler compared to those of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, it wasn’t due to secrecy but rather a reflection of the Qian family’s comparatively limited resources.

“Feitian Sect naturally agrees as well,” Saint Sky Walker added, laying out their plans alongside the others.

“Excellent! With such wise and far-seeing allies, how can we not emerge victorious in this war?” Jiang Chengxuan praised, fostering a sense of trust among the gathered allies, which was met with hearty laughter all around.

Indeed, in the theater of war, nothing is more precious than a reliable ally.

Thus, without further ado, the sects eagerly reviewed each other’s defense plans.

Through repeated discussions, they identified and rectified oversights, optimizing the defensive layout.

Under the concerted efforts of the four major sects, the responsibilities for each area were clearly defined on the map, along with support routes and secret signals, ensuring that any side requiring assistance could count on swift reinforcement from a fellow sect.

This collaborative effort ensured even the vast Eastern Sky Domain was meticulously planned and safeguarded, earning even the seasoned elders’ and ancestors’ admiration for the flawless strategy.

The initially tense atmosphere of the desolate battlefield significantly lightened.

In any situation, the strength of an alliance far surpasses that of any individual member.

This is akin to the reason cultivators join sects—for the combined strength and support they offer.

After three days and nights of intensive planning, the Eastern Sky War Council finally adjourned.

“Let us part ways for now, everyone,” the cultivators from the Qian family and Saint Sky Walker courteously announced from the teleportation platform.

The successful discussions had significantly increased their confidence in safeguarding the Eastern Sky Domain.

“Safe travels, elders. We hope for our flags to fly high in victory.

Take care. Should any situation arise, Thunderclap Valley and Haoran Sect will surely provide timely support,” Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan offered their final encouragement, sending off their allies.

Afterwards,

The Eastern Sky Domain descended into a long silence, a calm before the anticipated storm, with all preparations completed and only the wait remaining.

Leveraging the Five Blessings Lantern, Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan continued their cultivation in peace, unaffected by the impending battle, their composure undisturbed.

The rest of the Haoran Sect, too, found peace, knowing the legendary Vice Sect Master was among them.

From initial restlessness, they found serenity, feeling like they had an anchor in stormy seas.

One day, the Eastern Sky Domain was suddenly filled with the deep tolling of a bell, its vibrations spreading far and wide, like a stone dropped into a lake.

“They’re here!”

Jiang Chengxuan’s eyes flew open.

“Let’s go.”

Almost simultaneously, numerous figures flew out from the camps of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, all of them gazing intently in the same direction.

In the distance, the void seemed to tremble slowly.

But in reality, it wasn’t the void that was trembling—it was the realm barrier shaking.

Through the murky darkness, something on the other side of the barrier was violently striking it.

Without a doubt, this was the first wave of the demon beasts’ assault.

The members of the Haoran Sect and Thunderclap Valley, led by Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan, rushed towards that location.

Within a few breaths, they had arrived in front of the realm barrier, where the buzzing of the bell became even more piercing.

The barrier continued to vibrate, constantly under attack.

Wave after wave of impacts slowly dispersed the darkness on the other side, revealing the true face of the enemy.

Massive demonic beasts lurked in the dark, eyeing the people of the Floodgate Realm.

Merely the glimpse of their scales and claws, peeking through the darkness, was as immense as a small mountain, suggesting their bodies were as terrifyingly vast as stars.

And in the profound darkness on the other side of the barrier, the edge of the demon beasts’ army was nowhere in sight.

It felt like every corner within view harbored a gigantic beast, ferociously lying in wait for their prey.

The realm barrier only prevents the entry of beings, not energy.

Even across the Eastern Sky Realm barrier, a battle was about to erupt at any moment.
