Grasping the Evil
Chapter 1157: Battle of Glory
"What! This woman is actually Burying Moon, the Ancient Great Emperor’s Immortal Consort! Wasn’t Burying Moon said to have died long ago in antiquity?"
"I heard that before her death, Burying Moon only had the cultivations of a Nine Tribulations Immortal Emperor, how did she suddenly break through to become a Quasi-Saint!"
"Be careful! This woman is the Ancient Great Emperor, once she enters the Quasi-Saint realm, she’s not something that the First Order Quasi-Saint of the Era of Decline can withstand. Her power is almost comparable to that of the Second Rank Quasi-Saint of the Era of Decline!"
"Are you kidding me! It’s unbelievable that the dignified Burying Moon Immortal Consort claims to be someone else’s concubine. Who is the Eastern Heaven Yama? What qualifications does he have to make this woman lower herself! Humph! Could it be that this Eastern Heaven Yama is the same person as the White-Clad Yama we speak of?"
Upon hearing the name Burying Moon, all the Quasi-Saints of the Foreign Clans of Boundary River present changed their expressions and began to speculate.
As these Quasi-Saints guessed, whether the White-Clad Yama or the Eastern Heaven Yama, both are titles given to Ning Fan by the world.
The difference is, the former is a description of Ning Fan by the different race, and the latter is a description by the Eastern Celestial Cultivator.
Since most low-grade different races and Eastern Celestial Cultivators do not speak the same language, naturally, their titles for Ning Fan cannot be identical. It’s indeed a coincidence that they both use the title Yama to refer to Ning Fan.
It is a coincidence, yet it has a certain inevitability. Ning Fan’s silhouette galloping the Battlefield of Boundary River truly resembles a Yama! In the midst of thousands of soldier formations, where Ning Fan passes, the corpses of different races pile like mountains. During the Eastern Boundary River chaos this time, Ning Fan almost single-handedly made the different race scared and hurt on the battlefield where Quasi-Saints couldn’t appear, laying a solid foundation for the stabilization of this Eastern Heaven Boundary River chaos.
Slaughter Immortal Emperor, cutting down Half-Saints, capturing the Thunder Infant... Ning Fan’s battle achievements have already spread throughout the Eastern Heaven, shaking the world, causing countless Eastern Heaven sects to turn paler upon hearing!
When Ning Fan’s achievements reached Burying Moon, someone as powerful as her was also deeply shaken. Burying Moon had seen that Ning Fan was the rising sun of the Cultivation Realm of Decline, today having reached midday, already no one can stop Ning Fan from rising.
The Dark Clan cannot.
Foreign Clans of Boundary River, likewise, cannot.
I was shocked and worried about Ning Fan’s safety at heart simultaneously. Although Ning Fan had given orders not to let the people beside him participate in the Battlefield of Boundary River, when invited by Xiang Mingzi and others, she couldn’t help worrying and agreed to it.
At this moment, Burying Moon Immortal Consort, together with nearly a hundred Eastern Heaven reinforcements arrived here, intending to rescue Ning Fan and ensure a safe return to the surface. Among these followers, there are people closely related to Ning Fan as well as strangers. There are Immortal Venerables, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors, as well as Quasi-Saints.
A total of six Eastern Heaven Quasi-Saints were dispatched, a luxurious lineup, besides Mu Song, Xiang Mingzi, Hou Tu Elder, and Burying Moon, there were also the Fifth Elder Zhao Wanggong and Sixth Elder of the Southern Clan Tashi, two powerful Quasi-Saints!
The reason why these Quasi-Saints appeared so timely is naturally because the likes of Emperor Cang, Shenhao Twin Emperors, and others previously leaked the plan to repair the seal to their respective masters.
Upon learning that Ning Fan and others were actually planning to risk their lives to repair the Immortal Emperor Seal, Xiang Mingzi and Daoist Wood Pine turned solemnly changed in color.
For such Quasi-Saints like them, they are unwilling to be tainted by the mortal red dust easily, even more unwilling to expose themselves to danger and meddle in the great chaos of Boundary River. But perhaps, Ning Fan and others’ heroic feat awoke the bloodlust buried deep within their hearts, eventually, they decided to wade once into muddy waters and enter the red dust.
In the bone and blood of Xiang Mingzi and others, there still retains the spirit of Purple Astral Immortal Cultivator.
"Today is a day of great joy, the seal of the Immortal Emperor of Eastern Boundary River is repaired, the different race chaos will soon calm down, young friend Ning and others should take the main credit! Sadly, although young friend Ning repaired the Immortal Emperor Seal, they still need considerable time for the aftermath. If the aftermath doesn’t go smoothly, it may likely result in failure, rendering all repairs ineffective! We shall buy time against these different race Quasi-Saints for young friend Ning to complete the aftermath, once young friend Ning leaves the Sealing Tower, we’ll retreat together!"
With a smile on his face, Xiang Mingzi took the lead and charged towards the different race Quasi-Saints. He was quite worried about Ning Fan, not lacking some personal concern for today’s presence.
"Rolling worldly dust, I shall tread through it! Brother Xiang’s words are excellent, we Quasi-Saints shall act together, entangle these different race Quasi-Saints! All you juniors just prepare routes for retreat, everything should proceed as planned!" Mu Song and Hou Tu Elder laughed aloud together and sprang into action.
"Hehe, fellow Daoist Ning and others sacrifice themselves for the survival of Eastern Heaven, we must lend them a hand, protect them! According to our calculations, the aftermath work will likely take three more two-hour periods, as long as we drag the different race Quasi-Saints for these periods, victory is ours!" Southern Clan’s Fifth and Sixth Elders also joined the action.
As for Burying Moon, her actions have already made her stance clear, she targeted the different race Quasi-Saint who had just uttered disrespect towards her and charged cold-faced.
The remaining Eastern Heaven’s Immortal Cultivators who rushed to this place arranged in formation, surrounded the Sealing Tower and started setting up some formations.
"Orchid Immortal, what formation are you setting up..." Even with their experience, Emperor Cang and others couldn’t recognize the formation these Eastern Heaven arranged, which prompted them to ask Xian Luoli beside them.
Xian Luoli also came here, furthermore, the posterior formation arrangement was led and commanded by her.
"This is the Reversal of Heaven Formation," Xian Luoli casually replied, yet her big black eyes kept watching the direction of the Sealing Tower, never looked at Emperor Cang and others.
She was worried about Ning Fan.
"Hiss! It’s the Reversal of Heaven Formation." Upon hearing this, Emperor Cang and others all changed their expressions to astonishment, followed by delight.
The reputation of this formation is enormous, it is one of True Heaven’s 300 Peerless Formations, a kind of ancient formation at the Third Step! In theory, a Cultivator of the Decline shouldn’t understand such ancient formations, even top figures of the Era of Decline like Daoist Wood Pine have no qualifications to possess.
Considering the participation of Southern Clan, such an ancient clan, in this action, Emperor Cang and others quickly realized who might have imparted this formation to Eastern Heaven’s reinforcements.
It must be a grand entity like the Southern Clan, generously brought forth this formation...
"Although fellow Daoist Ning repaired the Immortal Emperor Seal, they still need a few two-hour periods for the aftermath. This period is extremely dangerous for us, as more and more different race reinforcements will rush here. But with the Reversal of Heaven Formation protecting us, whether for self-defense or retreating from here, it would not be too difficult!" exclaimed Emperor Cang and others joyfully.
Very soon, Emperor Cang and others also joined the ranks of the formation arrangement, following Xian Luoli’s commands to inscribe formation patterns in this water territory. The Reversal of Heaven Formation is top secret, only Xian Luoli was informed of the complete formation by the Southern Clan, and others could only follow Xian Luoli’s directions to know where and what kind of formation patterns to scribe.
Immortal Cultivators below Quasi-Saints were setting up the Reversal of Heaven Formation.
Quasi-Saints were locked in fierce combat with the different race Quasi-Saints!
For those old monsters at the Quasi-Saint level, they usually prefer avoiding risks and seeking favorable circumstances, generally unwilling to vie for life against similar-level Quasi-Saints.
Nonetheless, Ning Fan disrupted the plan of the different races to advance into Eastern Heaven from Eastern Boundary River! As their multi-million-years conceived plan turned into water overnight, all different race Quasi-Saints were furious, vowing to make the Eastern Celestial Cultivator pay the price before them. When fighting, these different race Quasi-Saints pulled out all the stops, showcasing an attitude as if wanting to perish together with the Eastern Heaven Quasi-Saints!
Shoo!
Hou Tu Elder transformed Palm Position Power into an earth-yellow Palm Position Great Sword, slicing through the opponent Quasi-Saint’s head. If not for his fresh breakthrough to Quasi-Saint, the Palm Position Great Sword could be stronger.
He faced a First Order Quasi-Saint from the Water Immortal Clan, whose head was severed without a drop of blood flowing, and astonishingly, from the neck of the severed head a blood-colored water lily sprouted. As the water lily bloomed, the severed head was reborn instantly.
"So it’s the Earth Palm Position, quite a handy trick! But even with Palm Position, so what! I hold the ancient clan’s water lily lineage, blooming undying, how can you kill me! Do you realize, since the previous assault on Eastern Heaven, our clan has been planning this second advance which spans millions of years! Millions of years of planning, only to be thwarted by a brat! Yama child must die, you all must die! I will sacrifice my taoism to make you pay! Hand over your life!!!"
Ten-Faced Water Immortal Aspect!
The Water Immortal Quasi-Saint seemed to go crazy, unexpectedly burning cultivation, manifesting ten heads, each forehead marked by a water lily totem emitting demon light.
In an instant, the aura of the Water Immortal Quasi-Saint surged to the extreme limit of a First Order Quasi-Saint. In a frenzied attack, he used one of his heads to bite off Hou Tu Elder’s Palm Position Sword and even bit off one of Hou Tu Elder’s arms, swallowing it whole!
A wave of intense pain spread through his body, causing a cold sweat to drip from Hou Tu Elder’s forehead, but more so, he was deeply shocked. He wished to reshape his arm, only to be astonished and discover he couldn’t do so!
The arm that was bitten off by the Ten-faced Water Immortal was permanently lost, almost impossible to regrow!
"Is this truly the legendary Ten-faced Water Immortal Aspect? For someone to use such a method, they will absolutely fall from the Quasi-Saint realm afterwards! He’s willing to fall off the realm just to kill me?"
Hou Tu Elder was overwhelmed by the determination of the Water Immortal Clan’s Quasi-Saint.
Since beginning his cultivation, he has experienced quite a few Quasi-Saint battles, but he had never encountered a life-and-death struggle like this before. In past battles with Quasi-Saints, rarely did they fight to the death; they would always be wary of each other, reaching compromises. But today was different, Hou Tu Elder deeply realized that if he didn’t mirror the same resolve, if he didn’t fight to the death with the Quasi-Saint of the other race, he might fall here!
Palm Position Ignition!
With a fierce expression, Hou Tu Elder unexpectedly ignited his Palm Position Power, reaching the extreme limit of a First Order Quasi-Saint in an instant, battling fiercely with the Water Immortal Quasi-Saint, exchanging insane blows, blood staining the deep flow.
Similar to the Water Immortal Clan’s Quasi-Saint, the other Quasi-Saints of different races were also employing the tactics of fighting to the death, forcing the Eastern Heaven’s Quasi-Saints to fight desperately. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The Talisman Ghost Clan’s Quasi-Saint, in his fury, summoned hundreds of billions of ghost talismans that he had spent billions of years crafting at the expense of his life, using them until they were utterly depleted, compelling Xiang Mingzi to reveal all his trump cards, even exhausting the Primordial True Qi refined by twelve mouths over billions of years!
Two Quasi-Saints from the Metalstone Clan, seemingly driven mad, ignited their respective Metalstone True Spirits for power, forcing the two Quasi-Saints from the Southern Clan to similarly ignite their own Spirit in order to compete.
The Foreign Clan Great Deity Director was even crazier, facing Daoist Wood Pine, and they were evenly matched. In a desperate struggle, the Foreign Clan Great Deity Director seized an opportunity and unexpectedly sacrificed over a hundred pieces of Innate Treasures, all of which he detonated!
Not detonated by ordinary methods!
Instead, using the Secret Technique of the Ancient Explosion Clan, the power of the Treasures was made to explode hundreds of times more!
Over a hundred Innate Treasures were detonated using Secret Techniques, their power nearing the destruction of heavens and earth, the explosive waves transforming into a hundred fire dragons sweeping open. Even an Ancient Great Cultivator sustaining this blow would be injured. The explosive waves’ strength was so immense that it was beyond the control of the Foreign Clan Great Deity Director himself. As the spellcaster, he naturally wouldn’t be locked onto by the explosive waves for attack, only slightly swept by the aftermath, and even so, he was heavily injured, spewing blood wildly; this explosion’s power was indeed terrifying!
Daoist Wood Pine, caught in the attack’s center, faced explosive waves multiple times that of the Foreign Clan Great Deity Director, and despite his strength, couldn’t help but his heart racing, opening his perpetually closed eyes in an instant, purple light shooting forth from his gaze!
It was unknown what Divine Skills Daoist Wood Pine used, but the explosive fire dragons vanished without a trace just as they reached him.
It was some Divine Skill Daoist Wood Pine realized after opening his eyes, redirecting the terrifying explosive waves to another space. Though Daoist Wood Pine acted with extreme swiftness, it was still in that split second that his physical defense was shattered, only his Spirit narrowly escaped death, yet left with extremely heavy injuries.
This left Daoist Wood Pine deeply aching. For someone of his existence, the materials needed to reshape his physical defense are extremely rare and hard to find, making the task of repairing his physical defense anything but easy!
The Foreign Clan Great Deity Director was somewhat astonished!
He came in with such a terrifying offensive, yet did not manage to eliminate Daoist Wood Pine; this person was truly formidable!
"Rumors have it that Daoist Wood Pine of the Eastern Heaven Immortal Realm has mastered creation; today I know this claim is true. But how could it matter, no matter how strong you are? Now that you have been destroyed physically, only your Spirit remains; you are not even worthy of facing old me for one match! Those who know when to bow are wise men, why not submit to me, descendant of Zi Wei? After this matter, I am willing to share the great position of the Eastern Boundary River Great Deity Director with you, how about it!" The Foreign Clan Great Deity Director deeply dreaded Daoist Wood Pine, so much so that he actively spoke of submission.
"In your perspective, my physical defense has been destroyed; but in the world I see after opening my eyes, my physical defense still exists, my Golden Body is intact. You do not understand! Because what I see in the world, you cannot see!"
Boom boom boom!
Daoist Wood Pine coldly laughed, charged out, truly remarkable, even relying on his Spirit alone, he forced the Foreign Clan Great Deity Director to repeatedly retreat, so astonishing for those who witnessed.
Besides Daoist Wood Pine gaining the advantage, Burying Moon was also gaining the upper hand.
Burying Moon faced a First Order Quasi-Saint from the Cold Cave Clan, though he desperately assaulted, he failed to pose much pressure on Burying Moon due to the slight gap between them.
Of course, defeating a First Order Quasi-Saint in a desperate state wasn’t easy for Burying Moon either, and despite her mastery over numerous ancient techniques, she could only maintain a slight upper hand.
Overall, the situation in the Quasi-Saint battles favored the Eastern Heaven side.
But as the seventh Quasi-Saint from the different race arrived to assist, the situation began to turn against the Eastern Heaven side!
The eighth, ninth... the fourteenth Quasi-Saint!
As time progressed, half a period later, all the Quasi-Saints from the Eastern Boundary River’s different races arrived at the scene!
Once the different race side gained a significant numerical advantage, even formidable figures like Daoist Wood Pine and Burying Moon fell into a disadvantage, sufffering frequent setbacks.
The situation was even more perilous for others with several instances, where the different race side nearly succeeded in killing Xiang Mingzi among other Quasi-Saints, were it not for Daoist Wood Pine and Burying Moon’s rescue.
"I’ve got some good news for everyone! From my observations, although the Immortal Emperor Seal over the Eastern Boundary River is repaired, it still needs time for follow-up and reinforcement, otherwise it will return to fragility due to instability! This is the reason why the Yama Child inside the Sealing Tower has not come out yet, and why these Eastern Heaven Quasi-Saints are fighting desperately here, delaying time for that Yama Child! This means there is still a chance for us to break the Immortal Emperor Seal! Our plans for tens of millions of years haven’t been in vain! As long as we kill those outside the tower, as long as we kill that Yama Child before he finishes, and destroys this tower, we still have a considerable chance of breaking the newly repaired Immortal Emperor Seal!"
Suddenly, the Foreign Clan Great Deity Director discovered something and shared his shocking finding with the other Quasi-Saints from different races.
At the news of another chance to attack the Eastern Heaven, the morale of the different race side surged, their killing intentions intensified, and even one Quasi-Saint sacrificed his life to gain injury, employing a forgotten Zi Wei Divine Skill, self-destructing himself and transforming his whole essence blood into the Zi Wei Supreme Emperor Blade, critically injuring Daoist Wood Pine’s Spirit.
This was a damage that not even Daoist Wood Pine’s Secret Technique opening the eyes could deflect!
The damage contained the conviction of the Quasi-Saint from a different race who was willing to perish for its fulfillment!
"A Single Defiance Renders the Path of the Purple Star Void, after my star is extinguished the stars will slay! Thousands of years, unifying the Northern Wilderness! Thousands of years, unifying the Northern Wilderness!" This was the fearless hymn sung by the Quasi-Saint from different race who sacrificed his life, facing death unafraid! He too had a conviction he must fulfill even at the cost of his life!
To make a Quasi-Saint willingly relinquish life, the convictions of these different race Quasi-Saints are undoubtedly indomitable!
The blood feud of Ziwei Immortal Cultivators is buried in every descendant of Ziwei; their ancestor’s shame is something they must reclaim no matter the cost!
For the honor of their ancestors, for the honor of Ziwei Immortal Cultivators, they could abandon everything, including their lives!
Such enemies are fearsome, and even those in opposing camps like Daoist Wood Pine could not help but feel a bit of respect for such enemies.
Yet, they and the different race are destined for different paths!
Ziwei Descendants have the honor of Ziwei Immortal Cultivators, while Purple Dou Descendants also have the honor of Purple Dou Immortal Sovereigns!
Daoist Wood Pine also has things he must protect, and in the face of this matter, there wouldn’t be the slightest concession!
"We, the Purple Dou Immortal Cultivators, do not hesitate to fight, do not fear to fight, life and death all for the Purple Dou Immortal!" Daoist Wood Pine shouted first. At this moment, he no longer remembered the caution of a Quasi-Saint, nor cared about his own safety.
Forget, forget it all!
He only remembered his identity, only remembered the glory passed down deep in his bones from his ancestors!
That glory had only one name, named Purple Dou Immortal Cultivator!
"We, the Purple Dou Immortal Cultivators, do not hesitate to fight, do not fear to fight, life and death all for the Purple Dou Immortal!" Xiang Mingzi and others showed a deadly determination, blood fighting ahead. All this was to buy Ning Fan time to strengthen the seal, to let Eastern Heaven avoid the crisis of destruction. Just to ignite the belief in their hearts, they didn’t hesitate to die fighting here!
The rolling red dust, what need to fear! If feared, then it is not worth cultivating this path, not worth cultivating! Hahaha!
Six versus thirteen! All the Quasi-Saints are fighting to the death recklessly, killing enemies at all costs!
Emperor Cang and those Eastern Heaven reinforcements were shocked by such a heroic duel.
It was not the cruelty of the Quasi-Saint duel that shocked them but the belief!
This battle had nothing to do with the cultivation world’s usual killing and treasure hunting, nothing to do with all those interests and calculations.
No benefits, not counting wins and losses, the reason everyone was fighting to the death was only to implement their own beliefs!
Such a battle, Emperor Cang and others had never seen, only felt that their lifetime of cultivating, calculating, gaining, and losing was nothing compared to such a heroic belief, too trivial.
Those belated foreign race Immortal Emperors as well.
Eastern Heaven reinforcements’ Immortal Emperors, Immortal Kings, and Immortal Venerables, everyone was infected by each other’s belief.
Countless underwater sandbanks were leveled by the fluctuations of the Quasi-Saint duel, no one dared to approach this Quasi-Saint confrontation, only the Sealing Tower stood unfaltering. The Eastern Heaven reinforcements around the Sealing Tower were not affected by the Quasi-Saint fluctuations.
It was all thanks to the Reversal of Heaven Great Formation!
Under the command of Xian Luoli, the formation patterns of the Reversal of Heaven Great Formation were gradually being depicted.
"Ziwei Celestial Immortals above, the lower immortal willingly sacrifices one billion and eighty million years of Taoism, please Saint inscribe [River Diagram and Luo Script], shoot the enemy evildoer!"
The Foreign Clan Great Deity Director saw that a Quasi-Saint sacrificed his life but couldn’t kill Daoist Wood Pine, became furious, and at great cost summoned an ancient era’s innate superior grade magical treasure.
River Diagram and Luo Script!
This is a treasure only a Saint is qualified to use; for the Foreign Clan Great Deity Director with Second-Grade Quasi-Saint cultivation, to recklessly move this treasure requires a great cost!
This is the ultimate treasure passed down by the ancestors of the Dragon-Horse Clan, the greatest trump card of the Foreign Clan Great Deity Director!
As a beam of golden light shot out from River Diagram and Luo Script, Daoist Wood Pine, who barely managed to support against several Quasi-Saints’ siege, was directly shot through the Spirit by the golden light, spewing golden blood, falling down.
The Foreign Clan Great Deity Director laughed hysterically, changing spirit sense repeatedly, shooting more River Diagram golden lights, countless threads of River Diagram golden light hung like ribbons, intending to kill Daoist Wood Pine on the spot.
"My fate ends here." Daoist Wood Pine’s Spirit’s face grew graver, as vitality rapidly drained amidst the shooting of River Diagram golden light.
Seeing Daoist Wood Pine nearing death imminently, at the critical moment, suddenly a pitch-black ink-like formation light centered on the Sealing Tower frantically spread in all directions.
Seeing this ink-colored formation light, Daoist Wood Pine suddenly gained the confidence to survive, activated the last bit of eye power, shot out ten thousand zhang purple light, instantly teleporting with other Eastern Heaven Quasi-Saints into the ink-colored formation’s interior.
As for those foreign race Quasi-Saints, and the countless threads of River Diagram golden light, all were rejected outside the formation light.
"Thankfully, the Reversal of Heaven Great Formation was timely arranged, otherwise, the old man would surely die." Daoist Wood Pine’s Spirit entered the formation, spitting blood, fainting from serious injuries.
All other Quasi-Saints were seriously injured, with barely any strength left to fight.
Xiang Mingzi’s physical defense was half destroyed.
Hou Tu Elder’s Palm Position Power in the void was shattered, his Taoist foundation severely damaged.
Two Southern Clan Quasi-Saints heavily wounded and near dying, fainted as they entered the formation light.
Burying Moon’s face was pale, moon-white palace dress covered in bloodstains. She might be the best off among them, but the injuries she suffered were definitely not light, with several wounds flowing black blood that could not heal, unknown what exotic technique caused them.
"Xianxian, you did very well, if it weren’t for you leading the fellow Daoists in arranging this formation, we’d surely all die." Burying Moon patted Xian Luoli’s little head, thanking, always sympathetic and affectionate towards this "little girl who acknowledges thieves as fathers".
"The Reversal of Heaven Great Formation, though renowned, yet unknown, can sustain under these foreign race Quasi-Saints’ siege for how long..." Xian Luoli, though taught by the Southern Clan, didn’t understand the specific power of this array, only heard about it before.
It’s fair to say, Eastern Heaven Quasi-Saints have been besieged to the end of their strength by foreign race Quasi-Saints. The enemy’s Quasi-Saints are twice as many as ours; it’s not surprising Eastern Heaven Quasi-Saints can’t defeat the enemy, it’s already remarkable to preserve everyone’s lives, thanks to Daoist Wood Pine, Burying Moon’s efforts.
Whether the formation can protect everyone and buy Ning Fan more time to strengthen the seal, Xian Luoli didn’t have much confidence, could only take one step at a time. Once the formation was broken, everyone’s fate would be tragic, very tragic...
Seeing slightly more effort could kill Wood Pine and others, but those people escaped into a formation, the Foreign Clan Great Deity Director’s expression turned extremely grim, as did the other Quasi-Saints.
"Hmph! Such a trivial formation light, one strike from the old man can break it, do you think relying on a single formation can save your lives from the old man!"
The Foreign Clan Great Deity Director sneered, repeatedly shooting countless River Diagram golden lights at the ink-colored formation light. The terror of innate superior grade magical treasure’s power, all foreign race Quasi-Saints were shocked by such momentum.
However, unexpectedly, the dignified innate superior grade magical treasure did not pierce through the unknown ink-colored formation with one shot.
All Quasi-Saints realized that the ink-colored protective formation light was not ordinary; they found the formation light’s surface covered with a membrane like dense scales, activated only by third rank formations with the [Holy Membrane]!
"What is this formation... on the formation light there exists a Holy Membrane!" Some foreign race Quasi-Saints felt heavy; they didn’t know the ancient peerless formation, but could see its power.
"This is the Reversal of Heaven Great Formation! No mistake, the old man saw it in some ancient book!" The Foreign Clan Great Deity Director, quite experienced, recognized the formation after some inquiry, took a deep breath.
What can be said.
In terms of grade, the River Diagram and Luo Script and the Reversal of Heaven Great Formation are of the same level. But ultimately, the River Diagram and Luo Script is not considered an attack-type treasure, although having innate superior grade power, it’s very difficult to pierce the defense of the Reversal of Heaven Great Formation.
The power of the magical treasure is greatly related to the cultivation of the user. With the cultivation of the different race’s great deity director, this treasure cannot unleash the full force of the first step.
Formation is different, it is less related to the cultivation of the one setting the formation. As long as the materials are sufficient, even the weakest person can arrange a formation with significant power.
With this, the River Diagram and Luo Script alone cannot break through the Reversal of Heaven Formation. Fortunately, we have many Quasi-Saints on our side, the different race’s great deity director is not worried about being unable to break this formation.
"Everyone, strike together. We must shatter this formation no matter what! Once this formation is breached, all the Eastern Celestial Cultivators inside will be as easy to slaughter as fish; it won’t be a challenge! If we advance into the Eastern Heaven, there’s still a sliver of hope!" The different race’s great deity director commanded solemnly.
In an instant, over a dozen Quasi-Saints of different races simultaneously began attacking, but the formation light of the Reversal of Heaven Formation flickered unsteadily under their assault, yet remained unbroken.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
The different race’s great deity director’s face was extremely grim. Thirteen Quasi-Saints collectively attacked one formation strategy, yet were unable to break it. This Reversal of Heaven Formation is too formidable!
The True Heaven’s 300 Peerless Formations has its reputation for a reason, it requires even stronger attacks to breach the formation shell...
"How long until Blood God arrives!" The different race’s great deity director asked the Quasi-Saints beside him through spiritual transmission, his tone gloomy.
"Soon... I can already sense the power of Blood God, he should be close now." A Quasi-Saint skilled in perception responded.
"That is good. Let us rest for a while, no need to attack further. The shell of this Reversal of Heaven Formation is too tough. Wait for Blood God to arrive, and then we shall crush this formation in one go." The different race’s great deity director sighed helplessly.
Thus, a strange scene unfolded.
The Quasi-Saints of different races suddenly ceased their assault on the Reversal of Heaven Formation, instead sitting cross-legged to rest, as if waiting for something.
The Eastern Celestial Cultivators within the formation struggled to maintain its operation, as they awaited Ning Fan’s emergence from the Sealing Tower.
Sensing the sudden cease-fire by the different race’s Quasi-Saints, many heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that they had retreated knowing the challenge was too great.
Yet only very few could sense the tension in the air.
"It’s oppressive, very oppressive, as if something ominous is approaching..." mumbled Burying Moon with deep concern.
At present, only she, Xiang Mingzi, and Hou Tu Elder were not gravely injured or unconscious. Among the three, her strength was the highest and her injuries the lightest, so naturally she became the leader.
Upon hearing Burying Moon’s words, Xiang Mingzi and Hou Tu Elder both displayed solemn expressions.
They too could perceive something formidable approaching.
Very strong, extremely strong.
To bring such fearsome crisis sensation to Quasi-Saints like them, across the Eastern Boundary River, it seemed only one thing could.
"The Blood God Geng Wu is probably arriving..." Xiang Mingzi muttered, revealing the mystery.
It wasn’t just Ning Fan who knew of Blood God Geng Wu’s existence. As Quasi-Saints, if they didn’t know of Blood God Geng Wu, how could they fear the chaos of the Boundary River.
At the moment Xiang Mingzi’s words fell, in the vicinity of the ruins of the Heavenly Shadow Clan, suddenly a building collapsed, and the rocky substrate underwater cracked open.
A tentacle as thick as a mountain unexpectedly pierced through the fissure, without a word, it lashed towards the Reversal of Heaven Formation.
In the instant this tentacle arrived, all different race Quasi-Saints showed joy, while the Eastern Heaven’s cultivators were shocked.
All felt the ancient great cultivator’s pressure emanating from the tentacle!
Bang!
The unbreakable Reversal of Heaven Formation, for the first time, showed a crack due to external attack!
This formation wasn’t set by a Saint, it could not reach the third step defense level!
And the tentacle’s power was already infinitely close to the third step!
"Bull! Bull! Bull!"
Seeing his full-powered attack only created a crack in the Reversal of Heaven Formation, the blood god Geng Wu hidden beneath the rocks grew furious. With low intelligence, he could only express his anger in simple terms.
Bull bull bull?
Nobody knew what he meant.
Only he understood what kind of fury was contained within his simple words!
He could sense that damned Niu Manshan was nearby, already awakened, now in the Sealing Tower within the formation right before his eyes!
If he could destroy the formation, he would be able to engage Niu Manshan again!
He wanted to devour Niu Manshan, to return all the humiliation from back then!
"Bull! Bull! Bull!"
More tentacles pierced through the rocks, lashing towards the formation.
A few different race’s Quasi-Saints happened to be in the path of some tentacles, unable to dodge in time, they were flung away, spewing blood.
"Damn it! This abomination is attacking indiscriminately again! He promised us not to attack us randomly!" Several unjustly harmed different race Quasi-Saints cursed in anger.
The different race’s great deity director’s expression changed, immediately reprimanding, "Watch your language! If you anger this god, none of you will survive! Do not forget the savage nature of this being!"
