57: Abyssal Invasion!

The Forest Immortal Sect had barely begun to settle into the new dynamics brought about by Yin’s ascension when the fabric of reality itself began to tremble. Across the realms, an ominous energy surged, heralding the opening of multiple portals. These rifts, each a gaping maw of darkness, threatened to unleash chaos and destruction upon the cosmos.

Celestial Boundless Dream sensed the disturbance immediately. Her celestial presence expanded, touching upon each portal as it tore through the realms. The urgency of the situation demanded immediate action.

Gathering her closest allies under the Great Way Tree, Boundless Dream addressed the gravity of the threat. “Portals have opened across the realms. The Abyss is making its move. We must act swiftly to contain and neutralize this threat before it overwhelms us.”

Eldrathorn, now in his dragon form, growled softly, his eyes narrowing with determination. “We cannot allow the Abyss to gain a foothold. Each portal must be sealed, and the abyssal creatures repelled.”

Li Mei, her aura calm yet resolute, added, “We need to coordinate our efforts and deploy our strongest cultivators to each location. The formations we’ve established will help, but direct action is necessary.”

Yin, now a World God, stepped forward, his presence radiating confidence and strength. “I will lead a team to the most vulnerable locations. The power of my new world will aid in sealing the portals and pushing back the abyssal forces.”

Mei Bao, her strategic mind already working, suggested, “We should create mobile strike teams, each led by our strongest cultivators. These teams can move quickly between portals, providing support where it’s needed most.”

Boundless Dream nodded, appreciating the quick thinking of her allies. “Agreed. We must be both strategic and relentless. I will anchor the defenses here and coordinate our efforts across the realms.”

With their plan set, the leaders dispersed to rally their forces. Across the realms, cultivators of the Forest Immortal Sect and their allies prepared for battle, their spirits bolstered by the leadership and vision of Celestial Boundless Dream.

In a secluded valley, a portal pulsed with dark energy, abyssal creatures beginning to emerge. Yin arrived first, his team of elite cultivators at his side. Drawing upon the power of his newly formed world, he channeled energy through the Boundless Eternal Tree within him, creating a barrier of light and law that pushed back the darkness.

“Stand strong!” Yin commanded, his voice carrying over the roar of the abyssal forces. “We will seal this portal and cleanse this place of their taint.”

As Yin and his team engaged the abyssal creatures, their combined might proving formidable, the creatures recoiled, unable to withstand the coordinated assault. With a series of precise movements, Yin and his cultivators wove the Seal of Eternity, channeling their energy into closing the rift. The portal shimmered, its edges collapsing inward until it finally vanished, leaving only a faint trace of its presence.

In another realm, Eldrathorn led his team of dragon warriors to a portal that had opened near a bustling city. The city’s inhabitants watched in awe and fear as the dragons descended upon the abyssal forces, their fiery breath incinerating the dark creatures. Eldrathorn’s roar echoed through the skies as he invoked ancient dragon magic to weave a barrier of flame and earth, sealing the portal with a burst of elemental power.

Meanwhile, Li Mei and her healers arrived at a portal near a sacred grove. The abyssal creatures here were met with the combined force of life and death, the healers using their powers to cleanse the land and heal the damage caused by the dark energies. Li Mei’s presence was a beacon of hope, her serene yet powerful aura guiding her team as they sealed the portal with a barrier of life essence.

Throughout the realms, similar scenes unfolded. Mei Bao’s strike team moved swiftly from portal to portal, their strategic precision ensuring that no location was left unguarded. Boundless Dream, from her central position, coordinated their efforts, her mind and energy reaching out to support each team.

As the last portal closed, a weary but triumphant sense of accomplishment settled over the realms. The immediate threat had been neutralized, but Boundless Dream knew this was only the beginning. The Abyss would not be deterred so easily.

Gathering her allies once more, Boundless Dream spoke with determination. “We have succeeded today, but the Abyss will continue to test our defenses. We must remain vigilant and prepared for their next move. Strengthen our formations, train our cultivators, and forge new alliances. The fight is far from over, but we will stand united against the darkness.”

Her words resonated with all present, their spirits renewed by their victory and their resolve steeled for the battles to come.
