Divine Replication System

This vast area is the only one capable of housing the three pinnacle powers: the Elemental Spirit Sect, the East Saint Sect, and the Devil Cloud Sect.    

It also ensures that these forces are situated at great distances from one another.    

Consequently, it's virtually impossible for them to reach each other via a teleportation array.    

Even if such direct travel were possible, the powers would not permit it, for fear of leaving themselves open to surprise attacks.    

The teleportation routes between the East Saint Sect, the Devil Cloud Sect, and the Elemental Spirit Sect were deliberately designed to be winding and time-consuming.    

Along these routes, the sects have strategically placed numerous spies and affiliate forces to monitor and prepare for any unforeseen events.    

However, with Lin Xuan's arrival, all these precautions are about to become obsolete in the face of unprecedented changes.    

Shortly thereafter, a brilliant white light burst forth, radiating outwards.    

In an instant, those who stood within the teleportation array vanished from sight.    

Before departing from the teleportation hall in Devil Essence City, Lin Xuan seized the opportunity to collect all the Ethereal Crystals present.    

These Ethereal Crystals are exceedingly rare natural minerals on the Tianyuan Continent, capable of storing spatial energy, and they are essential for powering the continent's teleportation arrays.    

For Lin Xuan, absorbing these crystals could significantly enhance his spatial abilities.    

Following today, the teleportation hall in Devil Essence City will likely fall into disuse, bordering on abandonment.    

Lin Xuan, therefore, saw no reason to refrain from taking what he needed.    

Despite his advanced level, where further improvement requires vast quantities of Ethereal Crystals, these few still represent a small yet worthwhile gain.    

Once Lin Xuan and his companions had departed using the teleportation array, the remaining few warriors in Devil Essence City began to emerge, converging outside the now seldom-used hall.    

Even as the six major forces had converged their Flying Ships to besiege the Devil Cloud Sect, most of the city's warriors had already escaped, leaving the buildings deserted and the city a hollow shell.    

However, not everyone had left the scene. Some were spies, strategically left behind by other factions. Others were independent cultivators who relished the thrill of risk-taking, hoping to find an opportunity amidst the chaos. And then there were those who simply wanted to be spectators to the spectacle. It was, after all, considered one of the most monumental battles on the Dongyuan Continent in centuries, and it had piqued the interest of many.    

These martial artists shared a common trait: their cultivation levels were neither low nor high. Those with too low of a cultivation level wouldn't dare risk their lives so carelessly, as a single misstep could mean no chance of escape. On the other hand, those with high cultivation levels would draw too much attention from various powers, making their presence inconvenient. Most were martial artists below the Martial Monarch Stage, including those at the Martial King Stage and Void Martial Stage.    

Previously, an Emperor Level High-grade Flying Ship had made its descent. A group disembarked, none of whom were below the late period of the Martial Monarch Stage, with several even at the peak of the Emperor Level. Although these individuals didn't exert any overt pressure, the mere leakage of their aura was overwhelming, like a towering mountain range, making it hard for the onlookers to catch their breath and causing their Vitality and Pill Essence to stagnate.    

Under normal circumstances, these onlookers would never have the chance to encounter such esteemed figures. Yet today, more than twenty of these formidable individuals had emerged, an intimidating sight indeed. It wasn't until these powerhouses entered the Transfer Hall and departed via the Transfer Formation that the others began to recover, their hearts still pounding with residual fear.    

After some time had passed, the silence that had enveloped the area was finally broken. "I think I saw the Grand Elder of the East Saint Sect, Senior Wei. He's among the top powerhouses of the continent. I was fortunate to have seen a portrait once, but I never imagined I'd see him in person today!" one person exclaimed.    

"That's not all. There were also Emperor Level seniors from the Elemental Spirit Sect and the Purple Cauldron Sect. I caught a glimpse of them once in Treasure City," another added.    

"Each one of them must be a renowned Martial Tao expert on the continent, right?" someone else pondered aloud.    

"To have so many of them gathered at once is astounding. What force could possibly stand against such power?"    

What's even more terrifying is that all these senior powerhouses are following behind a seemingly young predecessor, not daring to step half a pace ahead. Have you noticed?"    

"That senior must be the renowned and enigmatic Senior Lin, who's been the talk of the continent these days, right?"    

"Even the Grand Elder of the East Saint Sect, Senior Wei, is trailing behind him, step by step. It looks like the rumors are true!"    

"Who exactly is this Senior Lin? His presence is so formidable that he commands the respect of so many of the continent's top experts!"    

"Rumor has it that Senior Lin led the elite forces of the Six Great Overlords to besiege the Devil Cloud Sect. As a result, Devil Essence City has become a ghost town. Now, with Senior Lin and the top brass of the Six Great Overlords departing, it appears he's unscathed. Could it be that..."    

"The Devil Cloud Sect has been wiped out?!"    

"That's impossible, isn't it? The Devil Cloud Sect is currently the strongest force on the continent, one that even the East Saint Sect wouldn't dare to challenge!"    

"This is too horrifying to contemplate. If the Devil Cloud Sect has been eradicated just like that, then Senior Lin would undoubtedly be the preeminent figure on the continent!"    

"Now that Senior Lin and the top experts of the Six Great Overlords have left, the outcome must be clear. If you want to know, why not go and see for yourself? I, for one, am keen to check it out. Anyone care to join me?"    

"Come to think of it, there was indeed a thunderous noise earlier that could be felt even in Devil Essence City, a hundred miles away, shaking the ground like an earthquake. Now that the commotion has ceased, it's very likely that it's all over."    

"Still, that area might have been where numerous Emperor Level Experts clashed. The residual power there might be more than we can handle, right?"    

"We could approach cautiously. If the Devil Cloud Sect has fallen, there might be some treasures left behind. Those coveted by the Five Overlords might not catch their eye, but for us, they could be incredibly valuable!"    

"Indeed, the Devil Cloud Sect, as the strongest force on the continent, would provide more than enough for us just from the scraps it leaves behind."    

"Let's go together!"    

"..."    

The city's martial artists were abuzz with conversation, speculating wildly. They first noticed Senior Wei, Master Elemental Spirit, and other top experts of the continent. Yet, they all respectfully followed behind Lin Xuan, which was a sight that left everyone in awe. The implications of this were profound.    

Despite their astonishment, they continued to respectfully follow Lin Xuan. The implications of this were significant. The power dynamic across the Dongyuan Continent might be on the cusp of a dramatic shift. Then, they recalled the recent rumors about the Five Overlords laying siege to the Devil Cloud Sect. Now, seeing the high-ranking powerhouses of the Five Overlords departing with Lin Xuan, it was clear that the earth-shattering battle that had gripped the attention of the entire continent had concluded.    

Martial artists couldn't resist the urge to delve into the matter and verify the facts for themselves. If they could confirm this news, selling the information could net them a tidy sum. Moreover, this was the Devil Cloud Sect's domain, a place that was previously untouchable. Nearly everyone who had dared to get close had met with death. Even the other forces of the same caliber as the Five Overlords had never dared to venture near.    

But today presented an opportunity they couldn't ignore.
