The explosive sounds from Shangchen's formation spread all the way to Tianxia's formation. Even the passage between the two realms could feel the shockwaves. The blinding light continued to flicker, illuminating every cultivator present.
This time, it was the Formation Breaking Lightning Bead that fell into the formation.
Daoist You had previously mentioned that if he wanted to disrupt Shangchen's formation, he would need at least ten thousand lightning beads. This time, Xuanting gave him a pleasant surprise.
This time, it wasn't the ten thousand beads from before, but a total of three million. Although it wasn't ten million, it still made him feel very satisfied.
Every single lightning bead was refined by Venerable Xuan in a cauldron that was identical to the one he had refined.
Even the refinement method was the same. Xuan Zun's refinement was so precise that it could make all the lightning beads almost identical.
Daoist You had already roughly determined the location of some of the formation's network based on his own experience in the previous series of attacks.
However, the fewer the lightning beads, the more he had to rely on his judgment. If there were only ten thousand of them, he would have to ensure that the majority of them landed accurately. Otherwise, they wouldn't be of much use. Moreover, these ten thousand lightning beads couldn't be used all at once. At the very least, they had to be used in several batches, which increased the difficulty.
However, now that the number of lightning beads he originally possessed had increased by a hundred times, he was filled with confidence.
He couldn't guarantee that all the lightning beads would land in the right places during this attack, but as long as he covered all the places he had doubts or wasn't sure of, it would be fine.
Seeing that the formation was still shaking from the aftermath, he took a moment to look to the side. When he saw that all the Xuan Zun had withdrawn, he couldn't help but nod.
Yuandu Xuantu could only withdraw a few people at a time. If they delayed any longer, there would be casualties. Fortunately, when he saw the astral wind, he knew that the person in charge of the formation had already used a backup plan. He immediately sent a message to Xuntian Dao Zhang, asking everyone to withdraw.
Apart from a few Xuan Zun who were caught off guard at the beginning and were later taken away by Yuandu Xuantu, the others immediately withdrew.
Although he had decided to change the order of the attack at the last minute, thanks to his proper arrangements, not only did this attack achieve its goal, it also caused no casualties.
On the other hand, Shangchen's formation was in chaos.
Most of the lightning beads bombarded the formation's network. Nearly ninety percent of the network's network was disrupted, and most of the formation altars were immediately broken.
This was originally a good opportunity to attack, but Daoist You saw that the astral wind was still circling the formation... As long as the wind was still there, it would be difficult to enter the formation's attack.....
However, if he were to wait any longer, the broken array vein might be reconnected. Then, he would be doing something that was useless.
. Therefore, he definitely wouldn't give the other side a chance to catch their breath and recover. He flicked his sleeve and issued another order. A moment later, a large amount of Sky Punishing Flaming Thunder was sprinkled down again.
In Chen Tingzhi's hands, this thing was used to break the formation. In his hands, it completely played the role of connecting and even restricting the formation. He didn't sprinkle much each time, but he had no choice but to use all his strength to deal with it.
When this thing fell, Ying Chong indeed had no choice but to think of a way to use the Void Shifting Technique to remove it. This was because the flaming thunder didn't fear the astral wind, and could even merge with the astral wind.
But because the various formations' network had been disrupted, he couldn't shift too much of the formation's power. He could only try to remove a portion of the flaming thunder that he could take care of. At the same time, he ordered the Shangchen Xuan Zun guarding the formation altars to disperse the thunder on their own. However, whether they could completely disperse the thunder was very difficult to determine.
As long as there was a bit of the Sky Punishing Flaming Thunder left, it would continuously merge with foreign objects. Each formation altar was fighting on their own, so it was hard to say whether or not there was a gap between them.
For this reason, Ying Chong had no choice but to repeatedly check and extinguish the fire everywhere. For the time being, he was also tied down by this.
It wasn't that he didn't understand that Tianxia's next move was about to come, but the situation was like this. He could only do what he could do first and couldn't care too much about other things.
Daoist You stood at the center of the formation, his eyes still half-closed as he cautiously and carefully observed the changes in the formation.
Unlike Ying Chong, every time he attacked, as well as the various possibilities that would follow, he would first prepare in his mind. It could be said that the result of this battle hadn't exceeded his expectations.
At this moment, he saw that even the Sky Punishing Flaming Thunder was barely able to deal with it. He knew that the previous attack had taken effect, but because the astral wind still existed, it couldn't drive people forward.
In order to prevent the other side from taking this opportunity to reorganize the formation and resist him again, he sent out another command talisman. In an instant, dense dots of light appeared.
He didn't throw in the three million lightning pearls all at once, but divided them into three batches. This time, the second batch of a million lightning pearls fell into the formation.
Because Tianxia's formation and Shangchen's Inner Circle Great Formation were almost stuck together, and because the lightning pearls weren't like profound weapons, they had the ability to leap through the air. In a flash, they exploded within the formation. Because the great formation had suffered a blow, its power hadn't recovered yet. Therefore, the light this time was even more shocking than the previous one.
The great formation's formation veins that were about to recover were torn apart again. This time, it didn't fall into many useless places like before. After Daoist You's probing, he made a more accurate judgment.
Ying Chong's eyes reflected the flash of the lightning pearls. He didn't have much formation power to use in the first place, so it was difficult to peel off the flaming thunder. At this moment, it was one disaster after another. If he tried to salvage the situation, he would only sink deeper and deeper.
He was also decisive. Seeing the situation, he immediately ordered, "Fellow Daoists, please enter the back wall."
He decided to give up on the inner stage and retreat once more.
The inner stage had already retreated to the center of the Sky Bearing Heavenly Plains, above the edge of the Cymbidium Lucidum. If they took another step back, it would be the Rainbow Hall where Gu Yangzi and the other two were.
At this moment, one of his doppelgangers had already reached the Rainbow Hall and found Gu Yangzi and the other two. He cupped his hands and said, "Three Supreme Venerables, the situation is extremely critical. I request to shift the formation's mechanism inside and cut off the Heavenly Branch to cut off the Dao from the outside."
Whether it was the inner stage or the front, the inner circle's formation was completely on the Cymbidium Lucidum branch. As long as the branch was cut off, it would be able to cut off the connection with the outside. At the same time, it would be able to separate Tianxia's formation from them. Once the two formations were separated, it wouldn't be so easy for Tianxia to attack again.
Daoist Tian Hong immediately objected, "This isn't appropriate. Don't you know that this branch is one of the three main branches? Not to mention that it can't be cut off hastily, if it is cut off, the Heavenly Branch will definitely be damaged and its vitality will be weakened. How will it face the Qi of the Clear Sky then? "
Lingdu Daoist also agreed this time. He said, "Let's retreat then. We can still hold on for a while. Cutting off the main branch is the same as cutting off the foundation."
Gu Yangzi said, "Zhenren Ying, you don't have to mention this matter anymore. The three Grandmasters won't agree. I've already sent a message to Huanyang school. They've already agreed to speed up the breaking of the void wall. You just have to do your best. It'll be good if you can delay it for even a moment."
Ying Chong knew that this matter couldn't be accomplished. He cupped his hands and his doppelgangers dispersed.
He was inside the formation. When he heard this echo, he couldn't help but shake his head.
If this method didn't work, then he could only continue to hold on.
He looked into the formation. Fortunately, there were still some remnants of the God-Destroying Penta True Wind that he had just released. This time, the Xuan Zun of Shangchen didn't suffer any attacks from Tianxia's cultivators when they retreated.
Before the wind completely disappeared, Tianxia Xuanzun could only temporarily retreat. If he arranged things properly, there was still a chance that he could turn the situation around.
In the Rainbow Hall, Daoist Tian Hong looked outside and said, "Now that everyone has retreated to the back wall, Tianxia's attacks don't stop. If we don't show up, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long."
Lingdu Daoist said in a deep voice, "But we can't move. If I go out to fight, who can control the green spirit's vitality to resist the Qi of the Clear Sky?"
Gu Yangzi looked at the branch that represented Shangchen's fate. The light there was like a bean, flickering in and out. He said slowly, "Half a day of defense."
He met Tian Hong's and Lingdu's gazes. He said, "With the momentum that Tianxia has created, we'll need at least half a day of defense."
Lingdu Daoist asked, "Maybe we can ask the Grandmaster for help?"
Gu Yangzi pondered for a moment and said, "There's no need. The Grandmaster must know that we're interested. Now that there's no order, I can only solve this problem myself."
Tian Hong asked, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Yangzi said slowly, "I can only reverse the cause and use the Heavenly Branch to support me."
Although they were limited by their skills and could only use a limited amount of vitality, it didn't mean that there was no vitality in Cymbidium Lucidum. It was just that they couldn't use it.
Moreover, this life force was also related to their future path of Dao. When they needed to achieve success, each of them had a limited amount of life force that they could use. Moreover, it was accumulated by maintaining the sect in the past. If they used too much of it now, they would have no resources in the future and would not be able to reach the upper realm.
Therefore, when Ying Chong suggested using this method, they weren't willing to contribute. They used the excuse of wasting too much vitality, but in reality, they were more concerned about their own losses. They only obeyed the Grandmaster's order.
However, in the current situation, if they didn't take action to support the situation, the whole of Shangchen would be destroyed. As the saying goes, "Without the skin, where can the hair attach?" If Shangchen was gone, how could they go to the upper realm?
Tian Hong and Lingdu only hesitated for a moment, but they agreed. The three of them immediately sat down and focused. They injected their Qi and consciousness into the treasure. After communicating with their consciousness, they activated the "reverse the cause" technique and borrowed this portion of the Cyan Spirit Vitality, directly sealing it above.
In this way, they could withstand the Cyan Spirit Qi outside for half a day.
They had more Cyan Spirit Vitality in their hands to control, and they could personally fight outside at critical moments. Tianxia didn't know anything about this, so they could use this to launch a counterattack and deal a heavy blow to Tianxia.
If they could take advantage of this opportunity to kill Chen Yu, Zhengqing, or Wu Qingxu, then this battle would be much more stable.
Even if they couldn't cut the cloth, as long as they could hold on for half a day, Tianxia would have to retreat when the accumulated Cyan Spirit Qi was exhausted. Otherwise, everyone who entered the array would be trapped here. At that time, they could seize the opportunity to recover the array and continue to hold on.
