“My Senior Brother will arrive soon. However, before he comes, can Cultivator Xiuguan hold on?”
This person came and stood at the Wushang Changrong Sky and there wasn’t much visible movement. However, at that moment, the ground below started to tear.
Many deep cracks spread out like spiderwebs and more Common People’s Path Cultivators had ashen white expressions on their faces.
Zong Shou also felt that the attacking momentum of the three faction cultivators outside became stronger and stronger.
Those space cracks were also increasing, causing the difficulty of defending to increase.
Zong Shou couldn’t deal with them so easily anymore. He retracted most of his focus.
He used the Common People’s Killing Sword to lead the 3,300 cultivators here to use each bit of sword power to the extreme. He slashed into the void, causing an endless Sword Waterfall.
The Sword Energy shook and clashed, blocking dozens of the cracks.
However, the pressure now was 10 times that of before!
He could hear several angry scoffs from outside in the World River.
“The Ten Thousand Celestial Formation is at its limits. I really want to see how long they can block us out for?”
“Hehe! No matter how strong Xiuguan is, he won’t be able to block the combined strength of 12 Saint Venerables. I heard that the female disciples in Common People’s Path are really bold, especially Seven Spirit Sect, they are best at dual cultivation. Today, after we break through, I would like to enjoy it. Don’t kill them all and give me some face.”
“I don’t like women but I heard that there are a few young disciples who are really handsome…”
“The Thirty Three Skies are about to be broken, Xiuguan can’t hold on anymore…”
“Today, when we break, I will destroy all of you!”
The people from the Confucian Faction and Taoist Faction were still okay. Those dozen Demon Sect Cultivators all said lewd and vulgar words.
Zong Shou didn’t feel anything, but there were many young disciples in the formation whose faces turned green, filled with rage.
“Calm down! Don’t fall for their illusionary techniques…”
Zong Shou waved his sleeves and the cultivators who helped him with the formation instantly understood.
They temporarily left out those few people who were affected by the formation.
Zong Shou’s Common People’s Killing Sword gathered the Sword Energy into one and struck into the sky.
Where the sword wave passed, instantly three God Realm Cultivators were drowned.
Blood rain scattered and the sword gathered in front of one person. It was the Demon Path Saint Realm, who said that he wanted to experience the Seven Spirit Sect dual cultivation.
Still with his Common People Killing Sword as the main lead, and the Nine Source Ocean Bottomless Sword Energy as secondary.
The first sword destroyed the Celestial Treasure that this person used. The second and the third sword followed like rain pelting a rooftop roof as they struck down.
They pierced several holes into the person’s body.
“You really are tired of living!”
When Zong Shou’s Sword Light retracted, that person’s body exploded and scattered.
The other people in the World River kept silent and no one dared to say anything more.
Zong Shou’s face flushed red for a moment before he recovered.
Just now, he had consumed large amounts of energy, directly using 10% of the sealed strength from those 10 days.
However, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to suppress the flames from the three factions.
These people would definitely become more unrestrained and more united such that it would be even tougher to defend against them.
Moments later, those cultivators who were removed from the formation came back to their senses.
They joined back in and caused the Nine Palace Sword Formation to become more complete, reducing the pressure on Zong Shou.
At this moment, Dragon Shadow’s voice rang out in his ear.
“Killing a Saint Realm in one sword. You used a technique to bring out potential?”
“Master?”
Zong Shou turned around and saw Dragon Shadow standing beside him.
Who knew when he came. He was holding a four-foot green sword and was looking at the 32-layer pagoda.
“Everyone within the Vast Habitat is doing that, not only me. Moreover, this method doesn’t use lifespan.”
“Although that is the case, use it less in the future! This technique uses True Qi and it is inappropriate if you use too much of it. I had suffered greatly from it before.”
Dragon Shadow shook his head, his tone filled with a warning tone.
Zong Shou laughed bitterly, how would he not know about the dangers of using true essence and potential?
Why would he even do that if he had a choice?
He agreed before he looked up once more.
“Senior Master seems like he can’t take it anymore. Master, aren’t you going to help?”
Dragon Shadow didn’t reply to the question, “As expected, they are End Realms who have accumulated skills for a long time, I am far from their match. If it wasn’t for this formation, I really wouldn’t dare to battle them.”
He explained, “This formation tests one’s cultivation. If one is not at the End Realm, one can’t make it above 20. Once one passes 24, one will be Intermediate End Realm. Above 28 and one is Late End Realm. As long as one has a Heaven Opening End Treasure, then one will have the right to enter the True Realm.”
Zong Shou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, thinking to himself why his Master still had the mood to tell him about this now?
He was also quite curious about which layer Dragon Shadow could reach.
“Don’t underestimate this, it isn’t so simple. When the factions attacked, there was Cibei Taoist Lord who suppressed everyone but Xiuguan still managed to hold on. 10,000 years have passed and he is now top of the End Realm, much stronger than before. Without Cibei here, although there are more End Realms than before, they won’t be able to handle him. Qingxuan’s methods are far from this and those few still hadn’t gone all out…”
Dragon Shadow was really calm when he said all this, he wasn’t anxious at all.
“I don’t know their true skill but this Thirty Three Sky already roughly told us that we can attack. After I enter the formation, I will have to maintain it and won’t be able to care about anything else, you take care.”
After he said this, he stepped into the air and a dragon-shaped Sword Energy surged around him. Sword Energy exploded out, going against the seven End Realm in the air. He actually broke all the way up to the 23rd layer.
Everyone looked over. Qingxuan wasn’t surprised and said coldly, “Dragon Shadow, you really are stepping into these murky waters to save Common People’s Path. How will you even benefit? If they lose, you are destined to be sealed!”
“Wei Xu helped fulfill me, so I have to pay back the favor! Life and death don’t matter, moreover, I already have a body that can’t die.”
Dragon Shadow said simply and after answering it, he didn’t say a word as he stepped into the Golden Pagoda.
Instantly, numerous True Dragon Shadows appeared all around.
The entire Common People’s Vast Habitat became stable once more.
The cracks on the ground healed and the space fissures were disappearing.
All the cultivators instantly felt the pressure reduce.
Zong Shou also comprehended and knew that that was the reason why the three of them didn’t act right away.
They stood within the core as outsiders to witness how this formation worked.
Only then could they understand why it was amazing and understand its full ability.
After Dragon Shadow was Yuanjing. At this moment, Lin Xuanshuang walked out of the main hall.
There was no warmth in her eyes at all as she looked at the people above. A hibiscus appeared at her feet which made her float up.
“Common People’s Path today is not like it was 8,000 years ago. Senior Brother Xiuguan isn’t the only person, so what talks are there of holding on? You, esteemed guests, might be the ones who can’t retreat safely! Common People’s Path doesn’t allow people to offend us, so you should leave something as an explanation!”
At this moment, all the Common People’s Path Cultivators held their breath.
They knew that this battle had reached its most crucial moment.
Outside of the Vast Habitat, although there were millions of people fighting and 170,000 within going all out, they were all the branches of the tree. The outcome would be decided here by these few End Realm Experts.
Qingxuan looked down coldly.
They naturally expected Yuanjing.
Just someone whose foundations were incomplete and didn’t even truly step into End Realm, so how skilled could she be?
Wushang Yuan Demon Lord Li Biexue had a mocking expression on his face.
Not long ago, this woman had clashed with his incarnation.
An End Realm but she only barely defeated a Spiritual Sense incarnation of his with just five percent of his skill, how sad was that?
The 32-layer formation not only affected them, but also Xiuguan and Yuanjing these few hosts.
An instant later, Yuanjing effortlessly broke into the 20th layer.
Thousands of lotus petals carried her upward.
Li Biexue was stunned, was she holding back a few days ago?
She actually climbed to the 21st layer, Taihuang Wengzhong Sky before the lotus stopped.
Qingxuan’s face turned green and he thought about something as he hollered, “Aokun!”
To be able to enter the 21st layer not only meant that she had normal End Realm strength, but that she would be able to further improve from her current initial End Realm cultivation.
She might not be their match, but using the formation she could restrict any one of them.
Thinking about it, the only person who could fix her foundations was that evil dragon.
Aokun’s laughter spread out from the main hall beneath the Golden Pagoda.
“My Brother won the bet that year. Since I am not your disciple, then naturally I must take revenge. Since you attacked that year to protect Huayun to seal me up, you should have expected that there would be such a day…”
He laughed, “I am tired, so I won’t go up. My cultivation is not good nough and I don’t want to embarrass myself. Don’t fall down from above. Although I used much Vital Energy, if I go all out I might be able to destroy one or two of your foundations!”
