One person established a clan

Chapter 202 The Goddess's Power
Seven Star Secret Realm, in its central heartland—

After seven days of bloody fighting, the four races, along with various forces, finally advanced to the core area.

Thousands of spirit boats blotted out the sky, and various mystical lights poured down like a torrential rain, colliding fiercely with the tidal wave of corpses, with the battle line stretching for dozens of miles.

In this chaotic battlefield, various forces are engaged in open and covert struggles, and assassinations and treasure hunts are happening one after another.

"—It's exactly the same as it was five years ago, or even worse."

The elder of the Spirit Clan stood with his hands behind his back at the bow of the ship, gazing at the ever-changing battlefield, and sighed inwardly.

As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gradually dwindles and rare treasures become increasingly scarce, the competition among various factions naturally intensifies.

In just a few days, countless cultivators have lost their lives here.

Even the so-called prodigies could not escape death when surrounded and attacked.

"Do you understand now?"

He turned to look at the group of young cultivators behind him: "What a fortunate thing it is to be a member of the Spirit Clan."

The boys and girls stared at the battlefield, their faces pale, and remained silent.

A few days ago, while they were running around the grottoes, they thought highly of themselves and felt that they were different from ordinary sect disciples.

Witnessing this carnage firsthand, the overwhelming murderous aura was chilling even from miles away.

They had been pampered since childhood, enjoying the resources of the Spirit Clan and receiving meticulous guidance from experts. But if it weren't for the protection of the elders and their status as members of the four clans, they would probably not have escaped their fate.

".good."

Seeing that the young people had put away their arrogance, the Spirit Clan elder nodded to himself.

For hundreds of years, the four clans have been training their descendants in this way. No matter how proud or arrogant you are, as long as you take a trip to this battlefield, you will shed your impetuousness.

It's likely that the other three races are also present at this moment.
"Elder." A figure suddenly appeared beside him.

The handsome young man wiped the blood from his face and reported in a deep voice, "Something is wrong."

Seeing the clan's prodigy hurriedly return, the Spirit Clan elder's brow twitched slightly: "Which foreign sect has run into trouble?"

"This is not a matter concerning foreign tribes."

The young man secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "The Feng Clan and the Yuan Clan are secretly setting up an array, and their actions are suspicious. Meanwhile, the Qiong Clan has just gathered six sets of the Seven Star Jade Rings and is secretly discussing matters with the Tianduo Alliance."

The Spirit Clan elder's eyes narrowed slightly. "So they really are collecting the jade rings?"

No wonder we haven't found even half a jade ring along the way; it turns out the Qiong Clan got there first.

"They seem poised to activate a deeper barrier. Should we..."

"Let's hold back for now," the Spirit Clan elder interrupted, frowning in deep thought.

The four clans appear to be united, but in reality, they have been engaged in constant open and covert struggles for hundreds of years. Now, the Qiong Clan has openly colluded with the Tianduo Alliance.
"Pass down the order to alert the clansmen."

"Yes."

After the young man left, he immediately used a hand seal to transmit his thoughts and discuss the matter with the other elders.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the distant Qiong Clan camp, pondering to himself, "What exactly are the Qiong Clan and the Heaven-Seizing Alliance up to?"

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the dozens of spirit ships of the Qiong Clan was extremely strange.

"How could this be?"

The Grand Elder of the Qiong Clan's expression shifted between light and shadow. "Why has the seventh jade ring not been found yet?"

The cultivators under his command were all ashamed: "Elder, we've searched several times, but there's still no trace of him."

"This"

The Grand Elder's gaze involuntarily swept across the battlefield. Could it be that someone had secretly hidden the jade ring?

But how could there be no reaction at all, given the secret techniques of the Qiong Clan?

"—It seems the situation has changed?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Alliance appeared like a ghost, coldly sweeping his gaze over the six floating jade rings, a mocking smile curving his lips: "I have been waiting for a long time. The Qiong Clan can't even find a single pair of small jade rings?"

A cold glint flashed in the Grand Elder's eyes, and his aura suddenly surged: "Palace Master Yue, this place belongs to the four clans, and it is not your place to point fingers."

He immediately suppressed his anger, clenched his five fingers, and the six jade rings flew into his palm.

"So be it! Losing a jade ring is no problem; I can still open the deep restrictions!"

Before he finished speaking, a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted, creating towering waves in the air.

The spirit boats within a radius of several hundred feet shook violently, and those with weaker cultivation were forced to retreat repeatedly by this oppressive force.

The Lord of the Heavenly Alliance narrowed his eyes, silently retreating more than ten feet, and sneered inwardly.

This old fellow's cultivation is quite remarkable; he can trigger extraordinary phenomena in the world with just a few gestures. He is indeed quite capable.

"--open!"

With a loud shout, the Grand Elder caused the jade ring in his palm to radiate a dazzling light.

Six profound runes appeared in mid-air, crashing into the void ahead like meteors, stirring up ripples.

The restrictions deep within the secret realm seem about to be forcibly torn apart—

Zizizi!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, streaks of purple lightning erupted from the ripples, and an indescribable force of recoil struck, forcefully shattering the technique that had broken the seal. "Ugh!"

The elder grunted and staggered back several steps on the deck of the spirit boat.

The dissipated spiritual energy formed a gale, tossing several nearby spirit boats to the side, causing an uproar among the Qiong Clan cultivators.

"The elder's technique to break the seal failed?"

The Grand Elder himself was also completely taken aback. He had broken the seal several times in his life, but he had never encountered such a bizarre situation.

Just now, I clearly sensed a mysterious force secretly resisting me.
"What does this mean?"

The Lord of the Heavenly Alliance narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice, "Elder, do you perhaps have something to hold back?"

The Grand Elder glared angrily: "Someone must have gotten there first and is now obstructing me from within the restriction!"

"Besides your four clans, who else could?"

"Break through the barrier, and you'll know immediately!"

The Grand Elder interrupted sharply, his hands quickly forming hand seals. Several elders of the Qiong Clan arrived upon hearing the news, each using their own techniques to break the seals.

In an instant, several powerful pressures from the Spirit Profound Realm erupted simultaneously, crashing against the restriction barrier once again like a raging sea.

Zizizi!
The space trembled violently, and ripples surged like boiling water.

However, the invisible barrier remained unmoved, instead emanating wisps of eerie black energy, causing the elders' expressions to change drastically.

"How could the aura from the depths of the secret realm leak out!"

An elder was accidentally invaded by the black energy and hurriedly withdrew, causing the formation to collapse instantly.

The scene left the Qiong Clan cultivators speechless, and the spirit boat fell into a deathly silence.

"impossible"

The Grand Elder stared at the black ice crystals that had condensed on his right hand, his expression one of shock. "Someone can actually wield such power."

"Heh, the Qiong Clan members have certainly broadened my horizons."

The Lord of the Heavenly Alliance stepped forward slowly, his black robes fluttering in the wind: "How about I give it a try?"

He suddenly raised his hand, and a breathtakingly brilliant spiritual light gathered in his palm. A terrifying pressure swept in all directions, causing all the cultivators present to change color.

"He actually learned three-tenths of it?" The Grand Elder and the others held their breath in secret.

This Lord of the Heavenly Alliance is indeed extraordinary; the strength of his spiritual energy fluctuations is probably close to the mid-stage of the Spirit Profound Realm!
"Lift the ban!"

With a cold shout, a vast amount of spiritual power poured out like a celestial river, crashing into the distorted spatial ripples.

It was as if the entire world trembled, causing mountains to collapse and rocks to split within a radius of several miles. Many cultivators were directly shaken by this pressure and coughed up blood.

Click, click!
Spiderweb-like cracks finally appeared on the surface of the barrier.

The Lord of the Heavenly Alliance smiled slightly, about to press his advantage, but suddenly his whole body stiffened, and a chill ran down his spine.

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, a torrent of black energy suddenly surged out from the crack in the barrier, transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and crashed down with overwhelming force!

"What is this—"

He instinctively wanted to resist, but his soul sent out a violent warning signal. At the critical moment, he withdrew without hesitation and retreated rapidly.

Boom!

The spirit boats that were originally standing were instantly reduced to dust, and the violent aftershocks swept in all directions, blowing more than ten spirit boats away like falling leaves.

"."

The numerous cultivators present stared at this unbelievable scene, all speechless and dumbfounded.

The Heavenly Alliance Palace Master blocked the aftershock with his arm, his face showing surprise and doubt.

For a fleeting moment, he felt as if he were facing the might of heaven, unable to muster even the slightest thought of resistance.
"Is this a backlash from the restriction, or is there a Void Profound Immortal guarding inside?"

The deepest part of the secret realm—

"Whoo~"

Flora calmly adjusted her breathing, her fingertips shimmering with a continuous flow of dark, mysterious light.

Now the entire underworld is under my control; with just a thought, I can mobilize the profound and boundless power of the underworld.

Without a word, her aura subtly fluctuated, as if she were a goddess wielding the power of an entire realm.

"Xiao Fu?"

A gentle voice suddenly rang out, and Flora quickly turned around: "Uncle?"

Her cold and dignified demeanor vanished instantly, her face flushed slightly, and she shyly covered her dark-colored bodice.

Why don't you continue resting?

"With such a commotion, how can we ignore it?"

Su Cheng sat up, observing her posture with interest: "What are you doing?"

Flora felt a little relieved and smiled gently, "Although I don't know who the villains outside are causing trouble, the underworld is not a place for outsiders to set foot in, so naturally we must drive them all away."
