This time, Daoist You used up all the remaining lightning pearls he had. Hundreds of thousands of lightning pearls landed on the opposite side of the formation in a flash.
After the previous few attacks, the lightning pearls were more accurate this time. In an instant, the formation was thrown into chaos. In addition, Qing Ling's life force was used to resist the Clear Sky Qi. This instantly caused the entire formation to feel as if it was being torn apart.
The transformation of reality and illusion, the rotation of the void, could no longer be used. In the blink of an eye, the great formation that could devour the Xuan Zun was reduced to an ordinary formation.
On the outside, although Fan Xiang's body was destroyed, Xuanting immediately sent another Xuan Zun to hold the flag. There were still thirty-two of them. Under Daoist You's urging, these Mystique Venerables simultaneously moved in a streak of light and charged towards the isolated formation altars.
This time, it wasn't like the previous time where they had to feign attacks to restrain the enemy. Now that they had gotten rid of their worries, everyone was able to display their abilities with ease.
Chen Yu, Zhengqing, and Wu Qingxu suppressed the formation from the front. The three of them used their Primordial Spirits to assist the Tianxia Xuanzun in attacking the formation. At the same time, they were on guard against Guyang and the other two from attacking again.
However, the three of them didn't appear again.
Just a short while ago, Shangchen's formation changed continuously and killed several Tianxia Xuanzun. However, the situation now was completely reversed.
In less than ten breaths, several formation altars were broken and the Shangchen Primordial Spirit cultivators inside were also killed.
After that, the flag-holding Xuan Zun occupied the square formation altars and controlled the formation. Although there were only a few altars, they already had a foothold in the formation. They came down and used it as a base to continue attacking.
There were a total of one hundred and eight array altars on the back wall, each of which was divided into Yin and Yang. They complemented each other and supported each other from the outside and inside. Each array was guarded by more than thirty Shangchen Immortal Soul cultivators.
Even if most of the empty altars were not overseen by an upper-class cultivator, there were still Shangchen disciples stationed there. They could rely on the connection of the formation veins to provide the formation energy for the formation. Whenever an altar was breached, the Shangchen Nascent Divinity cultivators could still retreat to this place and stabilize the formation before planning a counterattack. This would prevent the formation from collapsing immediately.
However, all of this was based on the premise that the entire array was in good condition and could resist the opponent. Now that most of the array veins had been cut off and the array altars were isolated, how could they resist? They could only continuously retreat and throw away their array altars. Every time they threw away an altar, the other side would grow stronger while their own forces would weaken.
Ying Chong's expression was solemn. With Chen Yu, Zhengqing, and Wu Qingxu supporting him from all directions, wherever they went, the formation altars would collapse. The Xuan Zun who was guarding the formation was either killed or forced to retreat in panic.
However, how could they retreat from this place?
If Gu Yangzi and the other two did not show up, there would be almost no suspense in this battle.
He considered for a moment. If all the Xuan Zun in Shangchen died in this battle, then Shangchen would be on the verge of collapse. Gu Yangzi and the other two would not turn a blind eye to this. However, at this moment, there was no order to come, so he could only hold on for the time being.
There were not many methods that he could use, so he could only use the last of his reserve forces to push forward. This was not to counterattack, but to protect the people who were retreating as much as possible.
At this moment, in the Rainbow Hall, Gu Yangzi looked at the branch. It was originally a long section, but now it was only half a foot long. He said, "The formation is about to collapse. The only place we can rely on is the Rainbow Hall."
Lingdu Daoist said, "Why don't we send a message to Ying Chong and ask our fellow Daoists to retreat to the Rainbow Hall?"
Gu Yangzi nodded and said, "That's fine too." These Daoist cultivators were the foundation of Shangchen. Rather than leaving them outside to be killed for no reason, it was better to call them back for a final battle.
Daoist Tian Hong said, "Give them ten breaths. After ten breaths, seal off the Rainbow Hall."
Lingdu Daoist nodded and immediately sent a message to Ying Chong, asking him to summon the people here.
Gu Yangzi stretched out his hand and performed a spell. The ceiling of the hall, the ground, and the four walls of the hall began to flicker with flowing light. Within the light, there were densely packed Daoist talismans flickering and jumping. Also, there were densely packed branches rising from the bottom of the Rainbow Hall, gradually sealing off the entire hall.
The Rainbow Hall was located in an empty wall of the Cymbidium Lucidum.
Just as Lingdu Daoist sent out the message, within a breath's time, a conveyance light descended from the outside. He bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to the three Supreme Venerables.
The three of them also paused at the same time. They did not expect someone to return so quickly. Was Ying Chong's message delivered so quickly?
Lingdu Daoist glanced at him and said slowly, "So it's Daoist Chang. It's good that you're back. Go and find a branch to guard yourself."
Daoist Chang replied respectfully. With a glance, he found an extremely secluded corner and sat down on a branch there.
In the next few minutes, Shangchen Immortal Soul cultivators returned from outside one after another. The entrance of the Rainbow Hall became smaller and smaller as it was sealed off. When there was only a fist-sized hole left, a ray of flowing light shot in from there. After landing, Ying Chong's figure appeared from within.
After he stabilized himself, he bowed towards the seat. At the same time, he met the gazes of Gu Yangzi and the other two and shook his head.
Gu Yangzi muttered to himself for a moment. With a surge of mana, the branches in front of the hall's door rose and completely sealed off the entrance.
Lingdu Daoist looked down. Ying Chong and the five elders had returned safely. There were only six people left.
He could not help but sigh.
When Shangchen broke away from Tianxia, there were more than fifty Immortal Soul cultivators in the Ju Sect and the upper cultivators of the smaller sects. However, in the past three hundred years, many of them had died in battle.
Even before the formation was set up, there were still 34 Primordial Soul adepts, excluding them. Now, there were only these few people left. True Dharma adepts needed to cultivate for a long time before they could reach the upper level of cultivation. Although there were many people left, that was the accumulation of thousands of years. To suddenly lose so many of them, he also felt extremely pained.
However, it was fortunate that the elders of his sect were still here. This could be considered a consolation.
However, other than the pity, he had never thought about the ordinary disciples of Shangchen. In his eyes, these people were undoubtedly insignificant.
Gu Yangzi said, "Fellow cultivators, at this moment, each of you choose a branch to guard. With the sturdiness of our Heavenly Branch, it will not be difficult to hold on for three to five days. I have already received messages from Huanyang and Shenzhao sects. They are trying to break through the obstacles. As long as we hold on, we will be able to wait for reinforcements."
Everyone cupped their fists and went to look for a branch to guard.
Lingdu Daoist then said, "This is a crisis that Shangchen has not seen for thousands of years. Should we ask the three grandmasters?"
Gu Yangzi thought for a moment and nodded.
Although the three Ancestral Masters had not said anything since Shang Chen Tian was attacked, seeing that the sect was about to be overthrown, they had to try to ask for help.
After the three of them sat down, they each used their techniques and tried to communicate with the higher-ups.
However, they soon realized that no matter how hard they tried to communicate, there was no reply from the higher-ups. It was as if they were completely silent.
Gu Yangzi said with a solemn expression, "The situation is not right."
Even if the three grandmasters did not agree to their requests, as long as they communicated, they would definitely be informed. However, there seemed to be no response at all.
Lingdu Daoist muttered, "Could it be that Tianxia and the others have intervened?"
Gu Yangzi was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "Fellow cultivators, if the three grandmasters are unable to intervene, then we should consider the matter of passing on the legacy. Shangchen's legacy must not decline in my hands."
Lingdu Daoist and Daoist Tian Hong looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Although there were still three grandmasters in Shangchen, and it was reasonable to say that even if they were all defeated, their legacy would not be destroyed. However, at their level, some things could be vaguely felt. If they lost completely this time, then Shangchen might not be able to recover.
The three of them moved their thoughts and each of them turned into a shadow and landed in an empty space within the main branch. No one knew where they were except for the three of them.
There was a beautiful young girl sitting there. She wore green clothes that seemed to be woven from clouds, and she held a jade ruler in her hand. Her lips were crimson, and her eyes were pitch black. Her muscles and bones were like jade, and her entire being was gentle and quiet.
When she saw the three of them appear, she stood up and bowed, "Lingbi greets the three Supreme Venerables."
The three of them turned into shadows and floated in the sky. They said in a deep voice, "Yu Lingbi, Tianxia's attack is already at the door. Shangchen is already in danger. If things don't work out, the three of us will try our best to delay Tianxia's Xuan Zun. You will be in charge of our sect's Daoist treasure and lead the rest of the people to retreat."
The girl said, "Disciple understands."
At this moment, at the other end of the passage between the two worlds, Guan Chaosheng was a little surprised when he received the message from Shangchen. He did not expect that the situation in Shangchen, which looked so strong and prosperous, would be so bad in just half a day. The mountain gate was about to be breached.
However, he also knew that Shangchen had the Daoist treasure, Cymbidium Lucidum. Even if the array was lost, it could still hold on for a while.
At this time, he said to himself, "Maybe it's not all bad."
He turned to look at the old Taoist with long hair on the other end of the rainbow and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, it seems that Shangchen is not as strong as it said. In less than half a day, it will be destroyed by Tianxia."
The old Taoist with long hair replied, "It's really unexpected. Rather than saying that Shangchen is weak, it's better to say that Tianxia is too strong."
Guan Chaosheng said, "Maybe." He raised his voice and said, "Shangchen has to be saved. We need to cross over quickly. How's it going on your side?"
The old Taoist with long hair said, "My worm has found the precious pills left in the void by your sect in the past. It has also refined some of the evil spirits sent from Shangchen. In one or two days, we can try to break the seal in front. However, the wall of the void is hard. Even if this goes smoothly, it's hard to say that we can smoothly cross over. It's lucky that we can cross over."
Guan Chaosheng looked at the Thousand Luminaries Star-Charging Formation opposite him and unconsciously thought of the figure before. He said, "It's okay. Even if we can only cross over, I can break the formation in front of us."
