It was not until this moment that the six Yuanying Cultivators finally understood that Xiao Xuance was not being arrogant when he unleashed his Yuanying, nor did he think that he could defeat the seven experts on his own. He was simply luring them to unleash their Yuanying in such a way so that their souls would be shaken to the greatest extent with the Soul Shuddering Array!
Jin Dan and Yuanying were fundamentally different. They could only wield the combat ability of the peak of the Core Formation Stage at best. It was indeed possible that they would be drowned by the iron torrents of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers!
Moreover.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Dozens of Immortal Cultivators suddenly flew out from various directions of the bridge. They were all wearing Crystal Suits and Ares Extensions. The fire of spiritual energy that they released was not much weaker than theirs!
As the base of the Immortal Cultivators, Heavenly Phantom was certainly not guarded by Xiao Xuance and the Grand Illusionary Soldiers alone. There were still a lot of experts on board. See?
Those experts might not have reached the Nascent Soul Stage yet, but now that the 'Great Empyrean Soul Stirring Array' had created a special battlefield where there were no Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, the Cultivators had completely lost their advantage in terms of high-end combat ability.
The Immortal Cultivators, on the other hand, could make full use of their advantage in number!
"Xiao Xuance knew that our only way to win was to execute the slash strategy on Heavenly Phantom!"
"Therefore, this is a trap that he set up with himself and the star brain as bait. It is a fatal trap that is designed to capture the high-end combat ability of the Cultivators!"
"We are walking right into the trap!"
All the Cultivators understood everything immediately. Their brains and hearts seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, filled with desperation.
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Luoxingzi tried his best to condense Yuanying under the suppression of the Great Empyrean Soul Shuddering Array without bothering anything.
However, hardly had his will melted with his spiritual energy when he was about to condense into the shape of a human being when it was minced apart by invisible waves. His soul was hit again, and his brain was caught in the middle of surging tides. He vomited blood crazily, and his face was even paler than that of a dead person!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
Thousands of mystic rays, lightning, saber auras, and sword auras … At the same time, they attacked dozens of cultivators.
A formation that could suppress the Yuanying Patriarch couldn't last for too long. Xiao Xuance only had one minute before the formation was destroyed. Since he did not give anyone any time to catch their breath, the Immortal Cultivators and the Grand Illusionary Soldiers had launched their most powerful attacks!
All the cultivators were swept into the tide of destruction!
The breastplate of Xiao Xuance's Celestial Lord Battlesuit had a face that was half Yin and half Yang. He grinned and shrieked along with all the Grand Illusionary Soldiers. "Stop your stubborn resistance! I have carefully planned this for decades. Every tiny detail has been calculated clearly. Any change is within my control. You have absolutely no chance! "
Boom!
Luoxingzi was blown away by the joint attack of the three Immortal Cultivators, only to be stalled by more than ten Grand Illusionary Soldiers.
He gritted his teeth and slashed the Grand Illusionary Soldiers into scraps the size of fingernails. But he was still half a second too late. One of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers exploded right next to him. The blast of spiritual energy like a volcanic eruption almost knocked him to the ground. The fire flooded in through the damaged parts of the Crystal Suit and bit his flesh crazily until it reached his bones!
When a tiger went down to the ground, he would be bullied by dogs. After the Yuanying Patriarch was suppressed, the few Immortal Cultivators and dozens of Grand Illusionary Soldiers would have a certain chance to kill him. They would inflict serious damage on him!
As a result, even if he could persist for one minute, his bones would certainly be broken, and his internal organs would explode. His soul would be damaged.
Even if he could condense the Yuanying Patriarch again, there would be nothing he could do!
Luoxingzi was dizzy and anxious.
He spared a few telepathic thoughts to observe the battlefield. The other Yuanying Patriarchs were doing almost the same as him. They were all drowned in the iron torrents of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers and in the explosions of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers. Their spiritual energy was weakening.
The experts of the Jin Dan Patriarchs, on the other hand, had long been used to the battles in the Core Formation Stage. Their performance was even better than the Yuanying Patriarchs.
It was because of their bloody struggle that the defense line of the Cultivators did not collapse completely.
However, as more and more Grand Illusionary Soldiers broke into the bridge and occupied almost every inch of space, everybody could tell that the Cultivators were on the losing side. Another half a minute would be the limit of the Cultivators!
However …
Luoxingzi suddenly thought of something. He did not seem to have seen Bai Xinghe since a moment ago.
Where did this sly old fox run off to?
Scanning the battlefield with his telepathic thoughts, Luoxingzi's heart became heavy again. You want to see?
Perhaps because they were wary of the cunningness of the guy, Bai Xinghe had become Xiao Xuance's main target. He had been surrounded by hundreds of Grand Illusionary Soldiers and sealed inside a giant iron ball dozens of meters in diameter!
Even Bai Xinghe has been blocked.
Luoxingzi was desperate.
Was today really the end of the Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector?
The 'Great Empyrean Soul Stirring Array' attacked indiscriminately. Xiao Xuance's own Yuanying had been suppressed, too. Therefore, he was very cautious and did not join the battle at all. Together with the star brain, he triggered infinite computational ability and commanded the Grand Illusionary Soldiers to carry out suicide attacks. In the meantime, he disrupted everybody's fighting will with sneers.
"Six of the seven Yuanying Patriarchs unleashed the full capability of the Yuanying Stage under my enticement just now. Even Yuanying has been locked onto by the array. His soul has been greatly affected!
"But Bai Xinghe is the only one who has maintained the peak of the Core Formation Stage without exposing his Yuanying!
"However, it is useless. Bai Xinghe, you have just been reincarnated. Your soul is seriously unstable right now. My array has the effect of suppressing the soul itself. I'm afraid that you will be vaporized before long!
"Your Yuanying did not show up just now. You don't need to show up now! Haha. Hahahaha! "
"BOOM!"
Accompanied by Xiao Xuance's crazy laughter, another Grand Illusionary Soldier grabbed one of Luoxingzi's legs and detonated itself.
The close-range explosion dealt a great deal of damage to Luoxingzi. His entire right leg was almost blown into pieces.
Although he managed to keep his bones and veins running smoothly with his immense spiritual energy, the excruciating pain was still too excruciating for him to maintain the peak of the Core Formation Stage!
Luoxingzi's capability plummeted, just like his desperation.
The other Cultivators were moaning in pain in the communication channel, too.
Not for themselves, but for the dark future of the Flying Star Sector!
However, right in everybody's heart … The moment when they all hit rock bottom …
They heard music.
Music that was more and more intense, wild, and soul-stirring!
The stifling drumbeat and the interlocking lute. Dazzling guqin. Piercing jade flute. They seemed to be played together with hammers, anvils, flames, and blood. Everybody's heart was pounding and their blood was boiling after they heard it. They were almost roaring to the sky and unleashing the splendor of life!
Furthermore, in the middle of the seething music, they could vaguely hear a hoarse voice singing with a passion that could shatter the sky.
"Look at the dark clouds that can't block the flow of the galaxy!
"The infinite darkness will disperse eventually. The stars in the universe will ignite the light of life!"
All the Cultivators and Immortal Cultivators, including Xiao Xuance, were dumbfounded.
"Why — why is there music?"
"Somebody is singing? What's going on? "
After a moment of hesitation, everybody looked at the 'big iron ball' that enshrouded Bai Xinghe!
They all recognized it. The music of iron and fire was coming from the 'big iron ball'!
"Excuse me. This is the background music that I brought myself. It is named 'Conquer the Universe'."
A calm but clear voice was echoing from the giant iron ball made of hundreds of Grand Illusionary Soldiers. It penetrated the steel, explosions, and spiritual waves and shocked the eardrums of every Cultivator and Immortal Cultivator.
"Background — background music?"
Dragging his bleeding leg, Luoxingzi slashed a Grand Illusionary Soldier into pieces and roared, "What the hell is that?"
Li Yao was surrounded by hundreds of Grand Illusionary Soldiers. He explained casually, "My Jin Dan is different from yours. When it is stimulated to the maximum, it will revolve at more than 9,900 revolutions per second. While it revolves, it will vibrate. It will even expand and contract like a heart.
"All in all, it is in a highly unstable state, and earsplitting noises are coming out, too!
"I guess so. It must be the side effect of breaking the limits of my peak.
"I'm quite frustrated, too. I've been training for a long time, but I can't keep my Jin Dan stable or eliminate the earsplitting noises. I can only guide it to vibrate more regularly and turn it into rhythmic music. At least, it is not as earsplitting as before.
"It can't be helped. I don't want to be so arrogant that I have to play a lot of background music every time I trigger my best capability. It is simply impossible to get rid of it. Just bear with it and consider it a battle song to cheer for us!"
Luoxingzi: "…"
All the Cultivators: "…"
Xiao Xuance burst into fury. "You are still playing tricks when you are about to be killed? I'll burn you into ashes right now!"
BOOM!
The dozens of Grand Illusionary Soldiers inside the 'giant iron ball' detonated at the same time. Their scraps and fire congregated into an enormous metal rose.
However, a giant hand more than ten meters long suddenly extended out of the stamen of the flower!
With the remains of the Grand Illusionary Soldiers as the skeleton and the surging electric arcs as the veins, the giant hand snatched at Xiao Xuance brutally!
The ten or so Grand Illusionary Soldiers between the giant hand and Xiao Xuance were torn into pieces instantly!
Xiao Xuance was greatly shocked!
"No —"
Before he said 'no', the best expert of the Flying Star Sector was slapped away brutally by the giant hand. He crashed into four Grand Illusionary Soldiers and almost killed an Immortal Cultivator. In the end, he was deeply embedded into the wall of the cabin after a boom. All the crystal processors in the dozens of square meters nearby were reduced into powder that was as fine as sand!
Shock!
All the Cultivators and Immortal Cultivators felt as if their world had been turned upside down!
It was not until this moment that they realized that the hundreds of Grand Illusionary Soldiers were not surrounding 'Bai Xinghe' but attracted by the weird attraction force deep inside his body. They were unable to move at all and formed the best shield for him, allowing him to unleash the unparalleled strength that far exceeded everyone else's without any concern! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
The Grand Illusionary Soldiers around Li Yao were all melted into orange mud by the high temperature and blossomed like petals.
Deep inside the petals, a Crystal Suit slowly rose up and stood in midair, surrounded by thousands of Grand Illusionary Soldiers. It was entirely different from the Dragon King Battlesuit that everybody had seen a moment ago.
"What are you —"
Xiao Xuance, who had jumped out of the wall of the cabin, found it hard to believe his eyes! (To be continued.)
