I alone am the Honoured One!

As the crimson sky rippled with energy, more enormous portals tore through the skies, their swirling edges crackling with red lightning.

One by one, multiple Vampire Arks began to emerge from the dimensional rifts, their massive forms cutting through the air like gliding in blood waters.

The largest Ark, which dwarfed even the Jade Eclipse Sect’s main hall, hovered at the center of the invasion.

Surrounding it, smaller Arks formed an enormous fleet, each exuding an aura of dread.

From their hulls, powerful beams of crimson energy began to form, gathering at the tips of their jagged spires.

*SWOOOSHH* The energy churned and hissed, growing brighter and more volatile with each passing second.

Ji Shuang stood at the window staring at the massive fleet and the destructive energy they were amassing.

The protective barrier of the Jade Eclipse Sect shimmered around them, its golden glow getting ready to protect them from the beams.

Velnorah let out a shaky breath "Why did they attack without telling me... and isn’t the fleet larger than it’s supposed to be?"

Zhao Tian’s eyes squinted as he glanced at Ji Shuang. "Can the barrier withstand those beams?"

Ji Shuang shook her head "The barrier is powered by the Sect’s formation core. It’s one of the strongest defensive formations in the realm, but…"

She glanced back at the Arks, her eyes narrowing. "Even the strongest defenses have limits. If those beams hit all at once, the barrier will collapse."

Outside the sect-

The Vampires moved like machines, their forces swarming the skies as the Arks loomed menacingly overhead.

From the smaller rifts, elite Vampire warriors poured out in droves, their dark armor glinting under the red sky.

Hovering amidst them were their commanders... powerful Vampires exuding auras so suffocatingly that even the bravest disciples of the Jade Eclipse Sect would have faltered at the sight.

From the lead Ark, a deep, resonant voice echoed across the battlefield.

"Jade Eclipse Sect! Your time has come! Submit to the might of the Vampiric Star, or be annihilated!"

The voice belonged to none other than Valtor, one of the Vampire Generals as he stood proudly on the prow of the largest Ark.

His crimson eyes glowed with a sinister light as he raised his hand, signaling the fleet to prepare their assault.

"Fire the Blood Beams."

"Bring their barrier to its knees."

In response, the spires on each Ark began to hum with power.

The crimson beams, now fully charged, crackled with raw energy as they reached their peak.

The sky seemed to tremble as the Arks aligned themselves, their beams aimed directly at the Sect’s barrier.

Inside the Sect, the disciples, the Wing Masters and elders alike gathered in defensive formations.

And they know if the barrier breaks, they need to fight for their Sect.

The Sect’s golden barrier pulsed brightly, its runes glowing with a light as it prepared to withstand the incoming onslaught.

The first beam fired as a blinding torrent of crimson energy streaked through the sky like a falling star.

*THOOOMM* It collided with the barrier with a deafening sound, sending shockwaves rippling through the mountains.

The barrier held, but the impact sent cracks spiderwebbing across its surface, the golden light flickering as it struggled to absorb the force.

Then came the second beam.

And the third.

*THOOMMMMMM*

Inside the Sect, the ground shook violently with each impact.

Buildings trembled, and disciples struggled to maintain their balance as the relentless barrage continued.

Ji Shuang hurriedly dashed out of the room while Zhao Tian stared at the portals in amusement. ’I didn’t know there were already Teleportation technologies...’

He glanced at Velnorah and asked "So... Velnorah, what are you going to do now?"

Hearing the question, her gaze lowered "I guess... I will fight against the vampires."

...

The air trembled as the Vampire Arks unleashed their devastating beams in synchronized waves.

The golden Sect barrier shimmered valiantly as it absorbed the brunt of the attack, but the strain was beginning to show.

The crimson beams from the Arks collided with the barrier, sending shockwaves rippling outward.

Each impact created a deafening *BOOM*, the sound reverberating through the mountains and valleys.

Floating in mid air, Yan Zijin gazed at the Sect’s barrier "Hmm, seems like it will break soon."

Rui Lian, standing beside her, frowned as her eyes swept across the sky. "It’s not just the Arks," she said, her tone laced with concern.

"There are so many of them. And those rifts… they can summon even more forces directly from their star. This isn’t just an attack. It’s a full-scale invasion."

Yan Zijin waved her hand dismissively, "Don’t worry about numbers, Lian’er. Numbers alone won’t win them this battle. They might be bold, but they’re not prepared for what awaits them."

Rui Lian’s frown deepened. "Even so, the rifts give them a constant stream of reinforcements. If they keep coming, we’ll be overwhelmed eventually."

A small smile tugged at the corner of Yan Zijin’s lips as she turned to Rui Lian. "You underestimate the Sect. Since the day the Sect Master caught wind of that Vampire outside the Sect, she’s been preparing for this moment and made sure all the Wing Masters stay within the sect most of the time."

"She knew they’d come eventually, and she made sure we were ready."

Rui Lian’s eyes flickered with understanding, but she still hesitated. "Even with preparations, there’s a limit to how much we can handle, especially if their top forces arrive."

Yan Zijin replied. "All thirteen Wing Masters are present in the Sect right now. Do you understand what that means?"

"With them, we’re not just ready... we’re overprepared. Each Wing Master alone is a force to be reckoned with."

Rui Lian’s eyes widened slightly...

The Wing Masters are the strongest cultivators of their respective Wings and were rarely gathered in one place due to their various duties.

But now, they were all here...

Yan Zijin continued "Even if their Patriarch himself shows up, the Sect Master can handle him. Ji Shuang isn’t someone they can take lightly."

Just as Rui Lian was about to respond, a sudden gust of wind swept through the air and Yun Xi appeared there, yellow energy flaring around her body.

"Master, I am here!"

Yan Zijin’s gaze flickered toward her, a hint of approval in her otherwise calm eyes. "Good. Kill all the Vampires."

Yun Xi’s lips curved into a smirk as she clenched her fists "Yes, Master," Stay tuned with NovelBin.Côm
