While the entire Eternal Sect was in cultivation, in the central region, four 7th-tier low-level sects were fuming with anger.
They wanted to destroy the Eternal Sect, which had just entered the 7th tier a few days ago. The four sects Central Star Sanctuary, Five Direction Formation Hall, Nine Blade Pavilion, and Shadow Fist Academy were all prepared to attack. Even the other higher-level forces in the central region already knew what had happened in the Ten Thousand Mountains Secret Realm.
The appearance of an unknown force, the Eternal Sect from the far west, had shaken them. They had believed no one could appear who was as powerful as they were, and now these four sects were trying to eliminate that threat.
In their hearts, all the 7th-tier high-level forces were grateful to these four aggressors. They could now see just how powerful this new 7th-tier sect, The Eternal Sect, truly was.
The four forces gathered about half of their main strength. Now, they could go against any of the 7th-tier high-level sects if they wanted to.
An elder from the Central Star Sanctuary gritted his teeth. "Those Eternal Sect disciples abandoned our own inside the secret realm. How dare they! People from the four sects, get ready to go and destroy the Eternal Sect!"
"We are ready! We are ready!" The sound boomed from thousands of cultivators. There were hundreds among them at the Fusion Realm, even four ancient powerhouses at the Realm of Tribulation Transcendence, and many other cultivators of lower ranks. A total of 30,000 cultivators were going to attack the Eternal Sect this time.
They all began their journey, using large battleships in the sky.
The people of the central region all looked toward the sky in horror. This was the first time they had seen so many powerful sects moving to attack a newly promoted 7th-tier sect.
People from the other three regions north, south, and east also became alert. To them, the Eternal Sect was a hero who had saved their disciples in their desperate moments. Even the rogue cultivators of the central region banded together to face these four forces on behalf of the Eternal Sect.
They all headed towards the western region, where the Eternal Sect was the overlord. Outside the western region, a huge barrier covered the entire area, stopping even the 30,000-strong fleet of battleships before it.
An arrogant elder on one of the huge ships ordered his captain, "Go and enter the western region! You don't need to fear these fools. A newly promoted 7th-tier sect. Heh! Do they think they have enough power to face us?"
The ship moved and immediately headed toward the western region. But the moment the ship touched the barrier, a huge commotion spread across it.
"Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Ahhhhhh!"
"Save me! Save me! Fire is catching on to everything in its way! Save us!"
In front of the horrified eyes of the other battleships and the forces from the central, northern, southern, and eastern regions, the entire ship with its thousands of arrogant people disintegrated into thin air.
The blood of every cultivator ran cold at that moment. They had never imagined that the western region would have a formation of this power covering their whole territory.
The people from the Five Direction Formation Hall gulped hard. They had never seen a formation this large and powerful in their entire lives.
At this moment, the joint cultivators from each region who were there to support the Eternal Sect came together and stood opposite the hundreds of battleships. Someone from those groups called out, "You dare to attack the Eternal Sect? Aren't you afraid that we, the people of the northern, southern, eastern, and the rogue cultivators of the central region, will fight you to the death?"
An elder of the Nine Blade Sect sneered, "You idiots! You dare to fight us? What do you think of yourselves? Give us a way to enter the western region, or else..."
Another elder from the southern region sneered back, "Or else what? The Eternal Sect is our friend. We'll fight you to the death if you want to attack them."
The sound echoed throughout the entire area: "We'll fight you to the death! We'll fight you to the death!"
A chill ran through the people of the Central Region's four forces. The Eternal Sect had already established influence over all five regions. If they didn't stop them now, they would lose a great deal in the future.
At this moment, one of the Tribulation Transcendence realm powerhouses from the four forces came forward, ready to strike them. "Then die, you idiots!" he said.
He unleashed a huge palm attack toward the forces from the four regions.
The people from the allied regions froze in place. They wanted to evade the attack, but they had never faced a cultivator at the level of Tribulation Transcendence. They didn't know how easy it was for them to kill low-level cultivators. They braced for their death.
But at that moment, a silver line of pure blade qi emerged from the depths of the western region. The blade aura swept over and eliminated the huge palm force that was heading toward the allies of the Eternal Sect.
The people of the western region were also watching the fight in the sky and discussing it among themselves.
Some asked, "Do those idiots think they can invade our western region?"
A child around ten years old, still holding a lollipop in his mouth, replied, "Hehe... let them try to invade it. So what if they have Tribulation Realm cultivators? I heard that the Eternal Sect Master is at a level from where he can look down upon the entire Blue Star."
His grandma said, "My Xiao'er is right. Let them fight to their death. They can't even cross the barrier."
At that moment, someone pointed toward the sky. "Look, someone is there! Someone came from the Eternal Sect." Everyone looked at the sky to see a young man wearing black warrior's clothes, a blade in his hand. A single token hung from his waist with the word "Eternal" engraved on it.
The Tribulation Transcendence stage powerhouse asked gloomily, "Who are you?"
Wuhe answered, "Yan Wuhe. Grand Elder of the Eternal Sect." Everyone, even those from the western region, looked at him with utmost respect, except for the people from the four sects of the central region.
The elder sneered, "So what if you are from the Eternal Sect? We are here today to destroy your sect and everything in its way."
An eerie smile appeared on Yan Wuhe's face. He said, smiling, but seeing the smile, a chill ran through the heart of every cultivator present, "Oh really? Then try."
He did nothing except release the aura of a Star General. The whole sky changed color, and the faces of every cultivator turned pale.
The people from each and every region gulped nervously.
The four Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses all stared at him in horror and announced at the same time, "Star Realm! A Star Realm powerhouse! Impossible, absolutely impossible."
Someone in the far western region, still holding his grandfather's hand, asked him curiously, "Grandfather, what is a Star Realm expert?" His grandfather was a Fusion Realm expert.
His grandfather answered, "Ah, Xian, Star Realm powerhouses are very strong. If they wanted to, they could crush this blue planet with their hands alone."
He sighed, then said again, "I had the privilege of leaving this planet before, so I know the realms of the Star Realm."
"After reaching the peak of Tribulation Transcendence, people can go through a great tribulation to reach the Star Realm."
"The Star Realm consists of eleven sub-realms. They are:
1. Star Apprentice
2. Star General
3. Star Master
4. Star Grandmaster
5. Star Lord
6. Star King
7. Star Emperor
8. Star Saint
9. Star Great Saint
10. Star Venerable
11. Star Sovereign
Each and every realm has ten consecutive small realms, and the last realm is known as the peak. By the aura emanating from that young man, I can guess he is a peak Star General realm powerhouse."
The child's face lit up, and he looked up at the sky.
But the people from the central region were already shaken to their core. They never imagined a small, 7th-tier sect, just promoted by Goddess Nexus, would actually have a Star Realm powerhouse watching over them.
They immediately apologized, "We are truly very sorry, Your Highness! We'll go back to our sect right now. Please forget what happened today."
Wuhe denied their apology. He shook his head, then said, "I already told you to take action. If you don't, I will..."
One of the Tribulation Transcendence powerhouses said immediately, "How could we dare to attack Your Highness? We were just here to ask about our disciples in the secret realm. But after meeting these fellow cultivators, we already have our answer. We'll go back now."
Yan Wuhe tilted his head, then said, "Did I give you permission to go back yet?"
He sighed, then said, "Since you won't take action... I'm not a kind person. I won't let you go after you attacked our allies and intended to attack my Eternal Sect."
The people of the Central Region became alert and wanted to flee, but they felt the space around them freeze. No matter how much they tried, they couldn't break through it at all.
Wuhe smiled at them, then unsheathed his blade. A chill ran through the people as Wuhe swung his sword toward them.
A huge, silver blade shadow appeared and cut through the hundreds of battleships. A great scream sounded in the sky, one after another, until the last one was cut in half and the sky became silent again. Even the battleships disintegrated into thin air.
Wuhe looked at the allies who had come for their help. He bowed toward them slightly and said, "Thank you, everyone, who came to our rescue. The Sect Master wishes to invite you into the Eternal Sect. Please..." He showed them the utmost respect and gestured them toward the western region.
The people immediately bowed back. They knew the weight a Star Realm cultivator carried. They said together, "No, no! Grand Elder, it was our duty to face those people for our friends from the Eternal Sect."
"Please show us the way. We also wanted to meet the Eternal Sect leader." Yes, they also wanted to see the legendary Eternal Sect leader, who had even subdued this powerful Grand Elder.
Wuhe showed them the way to enter the western region.
But the 7th-tier higher-level forces in the central region became restless at this particular moment. They saw everything, and a Star Realm cultivator was a huge mountain standing before their sects. They couldn't go against the Eternal Sect at all. The Eternal Sect was only a 7th-tier low-level sect in name only. In reality, they were the sole behemoth of this Blue Planet.
