Six Suns in the Sky

Chapter 81

The Heavenly Star Sanctuary, bearing the title of "Sanctuary," owed its prestige to the presence of a Divine Transformation True Lord within its ranks. 

This alone was enough to allow them to dominate an entire region. 

However, within the core of this mighty sect, five individuals now sat in a circle, their expressions grave. 

"True Lord Haoyi, has your Heavenly Star Sanctuary truly encountered traces of extraterrestrial demons?" 

True Lord Linyue spoke with utmost seriousness. The matter of extraterrestrial demons was no trivial affair. Otherwise, members of the Divine Light Sanctuary would not have crossed an entire region from the Divine Light Domain to the Heavenly Star Domain based on a single piece of news. 

True Lord Haoyi pointed a finger, and a strange creature appeared before them. 

Its pure white body, with facial features that seemed painted on, was supported by four spider-like legs. 

To an ordinary cultivator, this might have been mistaken for a bizarre-looking demonic beast. 

But the Divine Transformation True Lords present all inhaled sharply. No demonic beast looked like this. 

Such a being, defying the natural appearance of living creatures, could only be one of two things: either a creation of True Lord Haoyi's techniques or a genuine extraterrestrial demon. 

"I discovered this creature in the Ten Cities Alliance, the region I have sealed off. At the time, the Ten Cities Alliance appeared normal, so I brought it back for investigation. 

Unexpectedly, not long after, the extraterrestrial demons erupted within the Ten Cities Alliance. Fortunately, I sealed it off early. Otherwise, the entire Heavenly Star Domain might have..." 

True Lord Haoyi's voice trailed off, a hint of fear in his tone. The entity now wreaking havoc in the Ten Cities Alliance was nearly unstoppable by anyone below the Divine Transformation stage. Even Divine Transformation cultivators, unless they had reached the fifth realm of Dao comprehension, would struggle to resist it... 

This was because the demon's attacks corrupted the Dao itself. Without a Dao of one's own, one would simply become its puppet. 

The two Divine Transformation True Lords from the Divine Light Sanctuary examined the demon conjured by True Lord Haoyi. The demon, in turn, calmly observed them. 

"What abilities does this demon possess?" 

True Lord Linyue studied it for a long time but could not discern anything unusual, so he finally asked. 

"We don't know. The methods of extraterrestrial demons are often bizarre. When I found it, it was heading toward the outer domains, seemingly trying to leave. After being captured, it has remained calm and motionless." 

True Lord Haoyi shook his head. The matter of extraterrestrial demons belonged to an era long past. In this era, knowledge of them came only from ancient records. 

Moreover, that era had cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, unlike now... where spiritual energy levels had declined, and Void Refinement had become a legend. 

In fact, in this era, reaching the late stage of Divine Transformation was enough to trigger a heavenly tribulation and ascend. Void Refinement was almost a mythical realm. 

"Let's set this demon aside for now. The two of you should first examine the demon currently ravaging the Ten Cities Alliance. It is the one we must deal with." 

With that, True Lord Haoyi handed over two jade slips. True Lords Linyue and Liyan took them and began to read the contents. 

After a long while, their expressions grew even more solemn. "No wonder... the ancient era treated extraterrestrial demons with such caution and loathing. To think they possess such methods!" 

The jade slips detailed the process and methods by which the Desire Flower controlled cultivators. 

The ability to alter a cultivator's cognition, inherit their cultivation, and subtly turn them into puppets after mere contact—any one of these abilities would make cultivators avoid it like a heavenly tribulation. 

Yet, it possessed all three. 

True Lord Haoyi had not exaggerated. If not for the early discovery and the fact that controlled cultivators exhibited behavioral changes, the entire Heavenly Star Domain might have fallen without anyone realizing it. 

"Now you understand why I sought your sect's assistance. This demon is too bizarre. It must be eradicated as quickly as possible. If it survives, it will be a catastrophe for the entire cultivation world!" 

True Lords Linyue and Liyan nodded. Only now did they grasp the severity of the situation. 

Such an entity, even if they as Divine Transformation cultivators could protect themselves, what of the other cultivators and countless mortals? 

"True Lord Haoyi, we understand. Tell us what to do, and we will fully cooperate." 

"Observe—" 

True Lord Haoyi produced a map of the Ten Cities Alliance, marked with five locations. 

"Each of us will take one position. Prepare your most powerful attacks, covering the largest possible area. At my signal, I will lift the seal, and we will annihilate everything within the Ten Cities Alliance in one strike." 

True Lord Linyue examined the map. With the five of them attacking simultaneously, they could indeed cover the entire Ten Cities Alliance in an instant. 

But would the demon be so easy to kill? 

"When dealing with extraterrestrial demons, no amount of caution is excessive. What if some demons survive this attack?" 

"The demons within the Ten Cities Alliance derive their strength from the cultivators they corrupt. The stronger the cultivator, the stronger the demon. There are no Divine Transformation cultivators in the Ten Cities Alliance. Under our attack, they will not survive. 

This is also shown in the recordings within the jade slips." 

The Heavenly Star Sanctuary had spent considerable time studying this demon. Although they could not recklessly enter the Ten Cities Alliance, a few individuals had left the region before the seal was imposed. Fortunately, the three Divine Transformation cultivators had tracked them down. 

Through this, they had gained some understanding of the demon. 

Corrupted cultivators appeared human on the surface, but their inner essence had transformed into something entirely different. 

"If True Lord Haoyi is confident, then we have no further objections. When do we act?" 

"Without delay, we set out now!" 

The five True Lords separated, each heading to one of the five positions around the Ten Cities Alliance. 

They each prepared their most devastating attacks. 

Five different techniques, each radiating deadly light, hung high in the sky. 

Within the Ten Cities Alliance, looking up, one could see the spectacle of six suns in the sky. 

"It's finally here." 

At this moment, Li Changmeng felt a sense of relief. 

At the same time, he would witness the power of Divine Transformation cultivators. 

He had made all the preparations he could. 

Throughout the Ten Cities Alliance, his clones were buried deep within mountains and earth. 

The Ancient Immortal Sect also had his arrangements. 

Even the Hair People, who had inexplicably fled to the Hundred Battles Land, had been left with contingencies. 

In this light, Li Changmeng was not overly concerned about this attack. 

The five techniques, after gathering energy, had caused the Ten Cities Alliance to lose its cycle of day and night. 

The Desire Flower, sensing the threat to its existence, began to frenzy. 

At the Six Desires Heavenly Wheel Sect, where the Desire Flower's main body resided, nearly all of its offspring had gathered. 

From the main body, countless roots extended, piercing the offspring and turning them into nourishment for the main body. 

The main body of the Desire Flower grew to a height of a hundred meters, its massive flower disk facing the sky. Beneath the flower, a swelling began to form, and a green, unripe fruit slowly emerged.
