The outer region Celestial Cultivators were in a stalemate with the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation, pretty much entering a state of attrition.
The restrictions on the outside were collapsing and recovering.
After roughly two hours, one could see that the Celestial Cultivators of the three factions all started to borrow the power of mind stones.
Within the Vast Habitat, they didn't need to do that. Numerous spells struck from the outer region, causing the chaotic spiritual energy flow to surge.
All the Cang Shengdao Cultivators who were suppressing the formation only needed to be in charge of the Energy Meridians and restrictions, bringing the thick and chaotic spiritual energy into the right path for their own use.
Zong Shou shook his head slightly. He knew that be it the Celestial Cultivators of the three factions or the Dao Soldiers, they were all trying to use this raging wave-like attacks to probe the weaknesses of the formation to find a chance to take advantage of.
As long as they kept on suppressing, the weak points of the restrictions would naturally appear one by one.
However, when he was in charge of patrolling, he had already thought about this possibility.
They wanted the structure to be stable, even if they had to sacrifice some defensive ability, they didn't care.
They didn't want it to be perfect, only going all out to make the structure indestructible.
There was really no need to worry about the crazy attacks of the three factions. Maybe they could really forcefully blow open the outer formation. However, at that time, the many Immortal Cultivators and Dao Soldiers would be exhausted and unable to fight anymore.
He changed his perspective back to the Cloud World.
The Common People's Vast Habitat was half independent outside of the Cloud World, but after all, it relied on the Cloud World and couldn't break away.
This place was the weakest point of the Vast Habitat and also the place where the defensive formation was the strongest.
Within the mirror, one could see hundreds of thousands of troops pressing over like a mountain and an ocean.
The formation was firm and stable, not arrogant and not rash. Under the protection of numerous spiritual cultivators, they weren't afraid of the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation's spell attacks.
They got closer bit by bit, not much faster than a turtle's speed. However, they were slow like a forest, heavy like a mountain, unshakeable.
Zong Shou's brow rose up. With just one look, he knew that the person leading the troops was a great strategist.
Even in this Cloud World space, after being split up by the formation, they were still able to maintain the formation with no weaknesses at all.
Looking at the 70,000 Common People's Xuan Dragon Warriors, they had already started to engage with the Dao Soldiers of the three factions.
They directly charged into the huge cavalry formation starting from the 50 thousand Yuanchen Blood Chiefs of Great Shang, who were the strongest in terms of numbers.
Together with the Ten Thousand Immortals Thirty-three Heavens Formation, the spiritual formation divided the space and rampaged!
Amidst the booming sounds, weapons clashed, armor clashed against armor, and bodies of flesh and blood collided.
This caused the area within a radius of a few miles to be filled with the sounds of battle, and the scene was extremely tragic.
In the cavalry formations of both sides, the cavalry at the front were all crushed and drowned in the impact. Under the iron hooves, they were trampled into minced meat.
70,000 Common People's Xuan Dragon Warriors were all going all out. However, the enemy's fighting intent was also really strong.
At the start, they were at a stalemate. After losing close to four thousand common people mysterious dragon warriors, they finally crushed the fifty thousand Yuanchen blood cavalry formation.
More than sixty thousand Profound Rank knights charged in like a vast stream of iron.
It continued to charge forward and collide! Two hundred and eighty thousand iron hooves trampled everything in front of them. The giant sword waved, reaping all the lives around.
Just as they pierced through the cavalry formation, all the Silver Scale Wind Stepping Beasts turned around at a seventy degree angle under the control of the cavalry.
Like a giant arrow, they charged towards the seven Pinnacle Arrow God Archers at the back of the enemy formation.
Sōmorime's eyes lit up and he thought to himself, "Beautiful".
Cang Shengdao, the commander, in terms of cavalry charging ability, was weaker than Zong Yuan and him.
However, he was really familiar with the Ten Thousand Immortal Thirty-three Heavens Formation, their coordination was perfect.
It was a little tough to defeat the enemy, but it was enough to delay them.
He also felt sad. The battle between both sides had just begun. There were only seventy thousand Common People's Xuan Dragon Warriors and four thousand of them were lost. Four thousand of their fellow sect members died just like that.
Shui Lingbo, who was beside him, also fiercely punched the stone platform.
It was obvious that she was furious about the deaths of the four thousand Cang Shengdao disciples.
At this moment, the Source Ocean Boundless Nine Palace Sword Formation was formed and all the members were in position.
Pretty much everyone's faces were filled with sadness.
"This Yin Yu deserves to die!"
Shui Lingbo took in a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. The rune at her brow was even brighter and more obvious.
"To pull chestnuts out of the fire, does he think that he can get anything by helping the Confucian Faction and Taoist Faction?"
Zong Shou didn't agree or disagree, but he knew that the Taishang Emperor had no choice.
The Spiritual Wave had already appeared and the only End Realm that the Taishang could rely on were the two Saint Venerables of the Confucian Faction.
His eyes suddenly focused on a certain spot in the mirror.
The mirror was huge, a thousand feet wide. Even if one reflected a hundred miles of land and millions of people in the mirror, one could still see everything.
At this moment, out of the millions of people in the mirror, Zong Shou was only attracted by one person.
He was dressed in a black robe, his long hair spread behind his back. He walked barefoot in the midst of the army, but his expression was really calm and peaceful.
Step by step, he walked towards the position of the Common People's Vast Habitat in the Cloud World. He was really casual and wasn't affected by the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation at all.
"Who is this person?"
Shui Lingbo also noticed that something was up and looked on in shock.
Zong Shou shook his head. This person looked unfamiliar and he didn't know where he came from. However, he was definitely an End Realm Saint Venerable.
On the other hand, Chuxue exclaimed, "It's him? Xue has seen him before. A while ago, Xuan Shuang Senior Master fought with one of his incarnations. He is called Yuan Demon … "
Zong Shou and Shui Lingbo exchanged glances with one another.
It was Wushang Yuan Demon Li Biexue, the ancestor of the Yuanshi Demon Sect!
The black-clothed, barefoot cultivator only stopped when he reached the center of the battlefield, on top of a hill.
Alone, he looked up at the sky with indifferent eyes.
In the next instant, the Common People's Vast Habitat shook once more!
This time, it was close to 10 times stronger than when it was struck by the 47 Dao Soldier Formations and thousands of Celestial Realm Cultivators!
Within the water mirror, one could see visible ripples of Supreme Force spreading out in all directions.
Tens of thousands of Talismans were destroyed. Dozens of black cracks appeared in the air. Those were the cracks that were formed when the outer walls of the Vast Habitat were forcefully ripped open.
There was also a black Demon Mist that spread out, causing all the life within 100 miles to be wiped out. It turned into a land of death which continued to spread.
"How strong, this is the strength of an End Realm?"
Shui Lingbo muttered, her expression was one of disbelief. Zong Shou's eyes were also filled with shock.
This wasn't the first time he saw an End Realm Cultivator attack. The few times he saw the few End Realm Saint Venerables fighting against one another, they were all really calm and he didn't know what was going on.
The scenes in front of him made Zong Shou think back to when Long Ying and Qing Xuan fought, the surrounding dozens of worlds were covered in a spacetime storm.
The strike of this Wushang Yuan Demon was even stronger.
That vast aura had already spread throughout the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation. If it wasn't for Xiuguan suppressing it, just the shockwave alone would have killed the Common People's Path Celestial Cultivators.
After the first strike, the second strike followed closely behind.
This time it came from the World River.
The mirror didn't change in time and Zong Shou used his Sky Burning Blood Eyes to look out.
Six gigantic figures over twelve thousand feet tall appeared in the void, each occupying a corner.
Zong Shou took a hurried look, it was the Taoist Faction Yuqing God Venerable and Shangqing God Venerable. Opposite them were the Saint Ancestor, Saint Meng, and Saint Xuan, the three incarnations of the Confucian Faction.
Apart from these five God Venerables, there was another giant covered in black energy. He was also 12,000 feet tall and gave off a huge aura.
They all held artifacts and reached out to grab towards the Common People's Vast Habitat.
With God Power bursting out, the restrictions outside of the Vast Habitat couldn't take it anymore.
Piece by piece, numerous black cracks appeared.
Although the main body of the formation was still holding on, it wasn't destroyed. However, it couldn't stop people from charging into the Vast Habitat.
Zong Shou's brow rose up and his eyes were filled with seriousness.
The true battle had just begun!
He spread out his Spiritual Sense and his Sky Burning Blood Eyes continued to shine. Zong Shou laughed coldly.
"You want to attack the Learning Palace first? Unfortunately, I am not a pushover … "
He made a spell with his left hand and pointed at the Sword Platform, activating the entire Nine Palace Sword Formation.
Many Sword Energies gathered through the Energy Meridians and in an instant, nine Sword Energies were formed.
Zong Shou led the way and slashed into the void. He led the Source Ocean Boundless Nine Palace Sword Energy to pierce through the air.
The first opponent was a Saint Realm Cultivator who sneaked in while the restrictions collapsed.
"Slaying!"
He followed the path of the Common People's Killing Sword and silently struck the void.
Only when the sword attack was inches away did that person sense Zong Shou's fierce killing sword.
He hurriedly tossed out a shield to block.
Then, there was a low "keng". The Celestial Shield was fine but the Saint Realm Cultivator's entire arm withered.
Killing Slaying. Zong Shou's sword had wiped out all the lifeforce of his arm!
Just at that moment, the nine Source Ocean Nine Palace Sword Energies struck over.
The first three were all reflected by the Celestial Shield. The fourth one pierced through and shattered the High Grade Celestial Shield!
The other five Sword Forces followed closely behind and shot into the Saint Stage cultivator's body like a storm.
Then, it exploded out, causing blood to rain down. It also split into thousands of Sword Energy to block the cultivators of the three factions who were getting close.
Zong Shou always believed that it was better to break one than to injure 10 fingers!
The other cultivators only hoped to be able to block him. He gathered close to 90% of his strength in one area. He directly killed one of them!
He could hear furious roars and Zong Shou felt slightly regretful. Unfortunately, he wasn't in charge of the Imperial Demon Slaying Sword Formation, otherwise, it would have been much easier.
3,300 of them could even kill Peak Saint Realm and half a step End Realm Cultivators with one sword.
Apart from End Realm Cultivators, unless they had a qualitative change like the Common People's Seven Swords. If not, no matter how many Dao Soldiers there were, no matter how strong the Sword Formation was, they wouldn't be able to break through the limits of End Realm. (To be continued.
