After someone uttered "hmm", over thirty thousand battleships opened fire one after another.
Countless lasers, plasma cannons, and high-energy particle cannons bombarded the solar system.
The straight rays of light and the light blue ionization lines looked like countless fine threads, which soon filled the entire space of the universe and illuminated the place.
The attacks of these long-range weapons were not as fleeting as they usually were. They were more like the platoons of soldiers in ancient times, firing one round after another without any pause.
The furious bombardment lasted for a long time. In the latter half of the battle, hundreds of thousands of multi-phase nuclear bombs, which were rarely used in space battles, were fired into the space.
A corner of the dim universe was illuminated continuously. If there were life forms in other galaxies, they might be able to witness this magnificent and spectacular scene after tens of millions of years.
It was obvious that the solar system had never been so bright since it was stabilized, and the energy in the space of the galaxy had never been so chaotic.
Twenty-seven minutes after the standard time, the spectacular firing of the battleships had finally come to an end, and the universe gradually became peaceful.
This was the largest energy output in the history of the human civilization in a single unit of time.
It was even greater than the time when the Grandmaster of the Aoyama used the battleships to form the Aoyama Sword Formation and blasted the planet into pieces.
This time, the number of battleships involved was higher, and they were of a higher level, and the firing time was longer.
Twelve percent of the energy storage of over thirty thousand battleships had been depleted after one round of firing.
According to the data sent back by the detectors at the edge of the solar system, the background temperature of this part of the universe had been raised by four degrees Celsius.
It was easy to imagine how dreadful the power of the attack was.
No fairy man could resist the attack of such a high energy level.
Even a giant planet would be torn to pieces by this energy storm.
Yet, the universe in front of them remained unchanged.
The sun was still like a small white speck hanging in the distance in Silence.
The childhood home of the human civilization was as peaceful as ever, as if it had not been disturbed in the slightest.
Tens of millions of soldiers on the thirty thousand battleships were stunned speechless, not daring to believe their eyes.
A few minutes later, the calculation result of the central computer came out.
The most powerful firing in the history of the human civilization had successfully depleted the energy domain of the sword formation of the solar system by 0.03 percent.
Why did it happen?
It was because this was a sword formation with the sun as its energy core and the gravitational force of the planet as its formation intent.
The battleships of the Federation of the Milky Way were indeed powerful. Each of those super battleships could wipe out a planet. The fleet of thirty thousand battleships was indeed invincible.
The problem was that warships would never be so foolish and arrogant as to start a war against the universe itself.
In the face of a Stellar-level defense system, which was the current formation, the fleet was powerless.
If human weapons could destroy stars, why would they need Jing Jiu? The story had long since taken a different path.
Zhao Layue stood up and looked at the unchanging universe in front of her. Her eyes were slightly cold.
She cultivated the Killing Sword Dao, so she never cared about things like the demeanor of an immortal.
Therefore, she had seized the power of the Federation of the Milky Way in advance and made sufficient preparations before waking up Jing Jiu and coming to the ancestral planet for the final battle.
Leading tens of thousands of warships to sweep across the universe and blast the homeworld into pieces was, of course, much safer than fighting the Founding Ancestor alone.
What she didn't expect was that the Founding Master had already made preparations and hid the entire Solar System.
"This is indeed the style of the Aoyama Sect, hiding in a turtle shell when they can't win …" she thought to herself.
When Taiping Zhenren encountered something he couldn't handle, he would leave in advance cautiously and hide in a place where nobody could find him, like the turtle shell of Emperor Xiao.
The great ancestor of the Aoyama Sect was an old turtle. He would close his eyes and hide in the presence of danger.
The continuous bombardment of over thirty thousand battleships didn't leave any trace, nor did they move the invisible cutting line by an inch.
Nothing happened. The fact shocked tens of millions of officers and soldiers on the battleships.
Even the Snow Girl, standing on the battleship and looking at the distant sun, had a more serious expression in her eyes.
Hua Xi was still sleeping soundly in the transparent ice cube, but a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth.
A painful cough broke out, breaking the silence on the battleship.
Zhao Layue turned her head around to look.
Jing Jiu was leaning against the wheelchair, his face still pale and extremely weak.
"What an impressive Sword Formation of Aoyama."
Unlike Tong Yan and the others, he didn't have to figure out the truth after entering the deep part of the Solar System and encountering the sword wills, nor did he have to do many experiments on the Scorching-Sun Battleship like Liu Shisui did to find some clues. All he needed to do was take a glance at it to know what was in the universe ahead.
The origin of the Sword Formation of Aoyama was the four words left by the Founding Master of Aoyama for his disciples in the Script of Sword before his ascension: All in One Sword.
This was the highest level of the sword work of Aoyama, and the reason why the Sword Formation of Aoyama could intimidate Chaotian for thirty thousand years.
This supreme sword work was not like what General Li, Jian Xilai, Ensheng and the others had comprehended, but the fact that all in one sword could be used as a sword.
The Founding Master had arranged the entire Solar System into a Sword Formation of Aoyama.
In other words, he could use the whole Solar System as a sword.
As for what method the Founding Master employed to make use of the endless fairy energy of the sun and those planets, it was still unknown. Many years ago, he had used thousands of battleships to set up a Sword Formation of Aoyama and destroyed that planet. Perhaps it was a rehearsal for this day.
In the history of the human civilization, only two people had comprehended and mastered such a sword work.
They were Jing Jiu and the Founding Master of Aoyama.
Jing Jiu suddenly wanted to stroke the cat, but he remembered that he couldn't move his hands.
Ada rubbed his thumb against Jing Jiu's hand obediently.
Along with a flash of green light, Qing 'er flew out from somewhere. She reported the latest calculation result of the central computer without even looking at Jing Jiu.
If nothing was done and the energy of the Sword Formation of the Solar System escaped and disintegrated on its own, it would take about nine hundred and forty thousand years.
Looking at the little girl on Zhao Layue's shoulder, Jing Jiu didn't say anything while smiling faintly.
Though Qing 'er didn't look at Jing Jiu, she could sense Jing Jiu's gaze, feeling uneasy. Flapping her transparent wings twice, she continued, "I suggest that we leave this place alone and bring the fleet back to the Federation of the Milky Way. After that, we should reform the social structure of the Federation of the Milky Way and try our best to promote the development of science and technology, so that the local civilization can reach the fixed state as soon as possible."
If the human civilization could reach the fixed state, it would be easy to deal with this Sword Formation with the sun as its core.
"How many years will it take?" asked Zhao Layue.
Qing 'er lifted her small face proudly and said, "After I've merged with the central computer, the speed will be very fast. It will take at least three thousand years."
"Remember to pull the weeds on my grave for me," said Jing Jiu.
Qing 'er turned her head around and sneered at Jing Jiu, saying, "You're going to die. Your body is an important weapon for us to deal with the Sea of Dark Matter; so it's impossible for you to be buried underground."
Did it mean that she wanted him to die without a burial place?
Jing Jiu didn't expect that the little girl's resentment toward him hadn't disappeared after five hundred years.
Zhao Layue shot a glance at Qing 'er.
Qing 'er flew onto Jing Jiu's shoulder reluctantly.
Nobody knew that this act of comforting Jing Jiu under duress was in fact a way to transmit information.
Zhao Layue looked at Jing Jiu in Silence, waiting for him to make a decision.
The expression on Jing Jiu's face didn't change. He uttered "hmm" to express his agreement.
If the Snow Girl knew that they didn't have the thing that could control her, she would turn around and leave with Hua Xi. They would go to the Main Administrative Planet and other computing planets to look for it. She wouldn't pay any attention to the Sword Formation of the Solar System in front of them, nor would she care about their lives.
Zhao Layue didn't say anything, her eyelids drooping slightly.
Qing 'er looked back and forth between the two of them, thinking fearfully that the people of the Aoyama Sect were all so unfeeling.
Jing Jiu turned to ask, "Any news about Shisui?"
"The Scorching-Sun Battleship has been keeping an eye on him, but he disappeared after he and Ceng Ju entered the solar system, and all communication has been cut off," said Zhao Layue.
In some aspects, this Sword Formation of the Solar System was similar to the black hole.
The fleet brought by Zhao Layue was indeed invincible in the world, and the combination of Jing Jiu and the Snow Girl was also invincible in the world; but they couldn't do anything to this sword formation.
"According to the calculation result of the central computer, it's very likely that they are still alive." Seeing Jing Jiu's pale face, Qing 'er thought that he was worried about those juniors who were lost in the sword formation, feeling a bit sorry for him. "As long as Shen Aoyama wants to leave, he will definitely leave the Life Gate open," she said comfortingly.
Zhao Layue suggested while looking at Jing Jiu, "Let's keep watching for a while longer."
This Sword Formation of the Solar System could be understood as a prison. The Grandmasters of Aoyama isolated themselves from the outside world, so they couldn't affect the outside world.
If this were merely a war, they could turn around and leave, leaving the matter here behind.
However, Jing Jiu was awakened forcibly by Zhao Layue, so he couldn't hold on for too long.
Even if he didn't have a grave after his death and didn't have to worry about the grass growing on the grave, he still didn't want to.
Ada thought, "Back when you were on the Shenmo Peak, you named the sword style you created the Nine-Deaths Sword Style … It's really inauspicious."
A few gazes fell on the wheelchair, waiting for Jing Jiu's decision.
Jing Jiu said, "He set up this formation in order to wait for me to break it. As such, I have no choice but to give it a try."
Ada's blood was boiling when he heard what Jing Jiu said, and the expression in Qing 'er's eyes became much gentler. Only Zhao Layue had a bad premonition.
It was a beautiful description to be calm when facing a major event. As far as Jing Jiu was concerned, the more important an event was, the more decisive his decision would be, and the fewer words he would say.
He didn't say anything when he ascended for the first time.
When he ascended for the second time, he only said one word: "I'm leaving."
But today, he had said a whole sentence, and he had even stated the reason for his departure.
No matter what, now that he had made a decision, Zhao Layue would carry out his decision without any hesitation.
She pushed the wheelchair to the window.
Ada floated up from the blanket, hurriedly hooked the sword rope around Jing Jiu's neck, and hugged him tightly.
Jing Jiu knew that Ada was trying to express some beautiful feelings, but he couldn't respond with his actions. So he just smiled.
All the battleships were retreating slowly, in order to avoid causing too much disturbance to the sword formation and affecting the process of entering the formation.
Only the Scorching-Sun Battleship stayed outside the Kuiper Belt and continued to observe.
Looking at Jing Jiu sitting in the wheelchair on the light screen, the captain of the Scorching-Sun Battleship, Jiang Zhixing, and the rest of the advisory officers raised their hands to salute Jing Jiu slowly, showing a complicated emotion.
The stars in the sky had faded away, and the universe grew darker and quieter; but it couldn't bring them a sense of security.
Looking at the shapeless sword formation in the void, Zhao Layue was calculating the way to enter the formation.
Her sword work was very high and had reached the level of the All in One Sword, on the same level as General Li, Jian Xilai and Ensheng.
Of course, Jing Jiu's sword work was more advanced. Normally, he should be the one calculating the way to enter the sword formation and the way to the life gate.
However, she knew better than anybody else that he didn't learn the Inherited Heaven Sword well, and he was very weak at the moment. As such, she didn't dare count on him.
All of a sudden, a white light flew over from the side.
It was the Snow Girl.
Though there was no air here, her red cloak was fluttering vigorously.
The transparent ice cube was pulled by an invisible force, following behind her.
It was unclear when Cold Cicada had left Ada, but it was hovering above her head. It opened its tentacles against the sunlight, trembling slightly.
A crack suddenly appeared in the void ahead, hiding the figure of the Snow Girl.
"Does she really know how to use the Inherited Heaven Sword?" Zhao Layue exclaimed with a slightly surprised expression.
Back when the Fairy Lady Bai Ren came to the human world, she was killed by ten thousand swords. Many people were guessing why the destroyed Sword Formation of Aoyama was reborn.
They finally had the most accurate answer.
"I taught her," said Jing Jiu.
His voice was very weak, but his eyes were bright, showing a hint of complacency.
He had been the teacher of the Snow Girl at the Three-Thousand Nunnery in Dayuan City. Though it was only for a few seconds, it was still something to be proud of.
Zhao Layue didn't say anything more, pushing the wheelchair forward.
Standing on her shoulder, Qing 'er remarked, "It feels a bit strange to push a wheelchair in the space."
Ada meowed once, indicating that it was like taking off one's pants to fart.
The wheelchair entered the void.
The Snow Girl was right.
They had entered the path leading to the Life Gate of the Sword Formation of the Solar System.
Of course, it could also lead to death ahead.
… …
… …
Mount Olympus was the highest mountain in the solar system. Even though it was much shorter after the collision between Chen Ya and Liu Shisui, it was still the tallest mountain in the solar system.
The robots shouted for a long time on the northwest plateau, but they couldn't summon a single fairy man. Shen Yunmai was so angry that he left the base with the others and went back to the top of the mountain.
If the mountain didn't come to them, they would come to the mountain.
If they were so capable, they could move the mountain away, or they could move the mountain away from it!
The immortals of the previous generations had no reason to give up the top of the mountain, so they looked at them cautiously.
Tong Yan told them her conjecture in the simplest and most understandable way.
None of the immortals believed Liu Shisui's words the last time; and Ceng Ju and the Fairy Nun merely went there to take a look. But now, all the immortals could vaguely sense that the Sword Formation of the Solar System was slowly changing, so their mentality had changed as well.
If the Patriarch was really changing the formation, the positions of the planets on the handle of the formation would change.
Mars was originally the Gate of Life, but it would soon become the Ruins of Death.
The moment the formation changed, countless sword wills would rush out from the solar system. Even if the immortals present could hold on for a while, how long could they do so?
As for leaving Mars to find the Gate of Life … even Peng Lang had returned without success, so they had no confidence.
This meant that if they couldn't stop the formation from changing, all of them would be dead.
But even at this moment, not everyone believed Tong Yan's conjecture.
The God-Slaying Master, the Lord of the East Purple Qi, and Mister Dong were sitting on the cliff rocks with indifferent expressions. It was obvious that they would not participate in this matter.
The two black-robed Demonic Immortals were guarding Chen Ya's broken body on the incense burner table, their faces gloomy, but one of them still looked happy. It was a funny scene.
Gu Zuo said in a cold voice, "The Patriarch must have changed the formation because something unexpected happened. Why would it be against us?"
The Fairy Swordsman En Sheng stood by the distant cliff's edge in silence, looking at the distant blue planet in the sky. It seemed that he was trying to guess what the Patriarch had in mind.
"I'll set up a formation. If you are willing to memorize it, you can do so. It will help you stay alive for a while."
The robot clapped his hands forcefully twice, saying, "We don't have much time. Hurry up!"
In the end, only three immortals were willing to study the method of breaking the formation with them.
Ceng Ju shot a glance at Tong Yan.
Tong Yan's childish face displayed the appropriate amount of gratitude and joy; no one could find anything wrong with her expression. Nobody noticed that Su Ziye and Yuan Qu were observing the surroundings while listening to Shen Yunmai's explanation of the formation, preparing to let these immortals of the previous generations stand in the front when the sword formation fell.
"This one should be the best." Su Ziye fixed his gaze on the incense burner table and the broken body of Chen Ya. "It's very sturdy," he said to Yuan Qu through his spiritual awareness.
Yuan Qu inhaled deeply, thinking that Su Ziye was indeed the last devil of the deviant sects in Chaotian; he didn't even spare the corpse of a dying man.
"It's too cruel!" Jing Jiu sent back a spiritual awareness.
With a sneer, Su Ziye said, "Liu Shisui is the golden body of the Guocheng Temple; do you intend to lift him above your head?"
