Floating Immortal Order - Chapter 281: What Are You Implying, Hall Master?

TL: Sponsored chapter (1/1). Thank you so much for your support, it helps me continue translating Floating Immortal Order.

Pale Ghost Greater Lord was such a figure. He was a Greater Lord who, despite the Moon Ghost Sect producing four Divine Sea beings over the past 100,000 years, still remained at the 9-Avatar stage. He hadn’t been able to reach the true pre-tribulation stage and was thus unable to begin transcending the tribulation.

The pre-tribulation stage was a realm between the 9-Avatar stage and entering the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation, but there wasn’t really a clear boundary. However, once in the pre-tribulation stage, one could choose to face the Heart Demon Heavenly Tribulation at any time. Many 9-Avatar stage Greater Lords, due to various reasons, could never reach the pre-tribulation stage, forced to wait as their lifespan dwindled away.

The young man with the steel sword, known as the Azure Raiment Sword Sovereign, was a human pre-tribulation stage cultivator who was widely renowned in the Profound Yin Territory.

Several of the Moon Ghost Sect’s Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords bowed respectfully to the Pale Ghost Greater Lord before retreating to the distance.

Also, many among the hundreds of Primordial Spirit stage cultivators within the Moon Ghost Sect, moved by the unfolding events, began to leave the sect.

The howls of innumerable ghosts echoed in their ears as ghostly qi blotted out the sky and descended. Those Moon Ghost Sect Primordial Spirit stage cultivators who had just attempted to leave were immediately devoured by countless ghosts, leaving them without even a chance to scream.

Pale Ghost Greater Lord glanced down with a cold gaze and declared, “Apart from those few Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords who have left the sect, all members of the Moon Ghost Sect will fight to the death with me. No one is to flee.”

Indifferent to the silent deaths of several dozen of the Moon Ghost Sect’s Primordial Spirit stage cultivators, Eventide Greater Lord lifted the Profound Treasure, the Great Sun Blood Sword, and coldly issued an order. “By the command of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance. Exterminate the Moon Ghost Sect!”

With that, he unleashed a sword strike!

The golden-red sun projection trembled as the crimson sword light split into millions of beams, each carrying unparalleled, incisive sword intent. They twisted space itself, raining down like a scarlet tempest upon the remaining Clone Avatar stage Greater Lords of the Moon Ghost Sect.

Following suit, the Profound Insight Greater Lord, a member of the Profound Depth Spiritual World’s Spirit Race, also made his move. With a slight wave of his sleeve, a turbulent flow of white Spiritual Force materialized out of nowhere, turning into a vast projection of an azure ocean that emerged from the horizon. It roared and tumbled with countless waves that towered hundreds of meters high.

“The Azure Ocean Overflows.”

This azure ocean illusion materialized from the ethereal, materializing into a real boundless ocean. Gigantic tsunami-like waves crashed down, drowning out the vast Moon Ghost Sect. The Spiritual Force, transforming into boundless pure water elemental qi, pressed down with the weight of the world.

In just a few breaths, the Moon Ghost Sect was utterly submerged, transforming into a vast body of water. The millions of lives within, ranging from the Cleansed Meridians stage to the Dao Foundation stage cultivators, were completely eradicated under the might of The Azure Ocean Overflows, their souls extinguished.

Only a few dozen Divine Core stage prodigies managed to escape the engulfing azure ocean, albeit in a very disheveled state. Some of their weaker Spirit Tools were even damaged or destroyed by the relentless assault of the water elemental energy.

Star Galaxy Greater Lord, a cultivator from the Star Picking Spiritual World, remarked in admiration, “I knew the Spirit Race’s Spiritual Force was different from the human realm’s profound qi, but now that I see it in action, it really deserves its reputation. Using Spiritual Force to cast spells indeed significantly enhances their power. A single water-type spell from Profound Insight Greater Lord has eradicated over a million disciples of the Moon Ghost Sect.”

Witnessing this heaven-shaking battle between Clone Avatar stage cultivators, Azure Raiment Sword Sovereign did not intervene. Instead, he laughed and caressed his iron sword, “Heavenly Lord Mo Yu, I will go and meet you!”

Rust flaked off the sword, revealing a snow-white blade. It gleamed with a matchlessly brilliant light that enveloped Azure Raiment Sword Sovereign as he soared towards the heavens.

The battle of the Moon Ghost Sect held no surprises and the situation was well known to all.

… …

The distant horizons were constantly lighting up with countless flashes. Occasionally, formless ripples would approach them, but they were all blocked by Shao Huangnian and Xu Disheng.

Half of the entire Central Region’s sky was painted with myriad colors of profound light. Countless innocent lives were being extinguished by the fallout from the clash.

“The Dawndusk Spiritual Essence is vibrating. It’s time for us to clean up the battlefield,” Shao Huangnian announced, his voice carrying a sigh of emotion. He stored away the vibrating Dawndusk Spiritual Essence, but he still looked towards the red-tinged sky with a hint of lamentation.

BOOM!

The ground at the edge of the Dawndusk Territory shook as if struck by a terrifying impact, causing the two celestial turtles speeding through the clouds to halt momentarily.

At the border between the Profound Yin Territory and the Dawndusk Territory, countless dark clouds gathered rapidly, unleashing a torrential black rain that was strange and bizarre.

A primal fear surged from deep within as the sky’s black rain grew denser. Its droplets even possessed the power to corrode cultivation bases!

The 9-Avatar stage Greater Lord, Pale Ghost Greater Lord, had fallen.

Every 9-Avatar stage Greater Lord, regardless of race, good or evil, deserved the utmost respect.

This was the reverence owed to the mighty.

In the battle of the Moon Ghost Sect, not a single Greater Lord from the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance perished, while over a million beings from the Moon Ghost Sect, apart from those few who left, were wiped out.

This outcome was expected, given the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance’s overwhelming number of participating Greater Lords. Even if some were momentarily caught off guard and injured by the Moon Ghost Sect’s resistance, retreating temporarily to avoid further conflict was their chosen strategy. No one was foolish enough to engage in a fight to the death with the doomed members of the Moon Ghost Sect.

… …

“Supreme Spirit Master, it’s truly impressive that you managed to single-handedly defeat the body and sword cultivator Qi Taiqing and reach 3rd place on the Daoist Ranking,” commented Ethereal Spirit Master Yun Wuya, riding atop a Primordial Spirit stage serpent beast as he sized up Xu Disheng through narrowed eyes.

“Hasn’t you also cleared several large-scale forces on your own, Hall Master?” Xu Disheng replied as he gazed at the endless body of water below, which was teeming with members of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance.

Yun Wuya held the position of Hall Master of the Divine Core stage Administration Hall of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance. He was also the top genius of the Dawn Sunset Daoist Sect, possessing unfathomable strength.

As the serpent beast descended slightly to align with the celestial turtle Xu Disheng was on, Yun Wuya turned his head and laughed, “Supreme Spirit Master, why not join them in scavenging for resources? The Moon Ghost Sect, as a peak-level sect, has countless spiritual items and cultivation resources that even I find tempting.”

After pondering for a moment, Xu Disheng asked, “What are you implying, Hall Master?”
