This time, Yuan Xia was determined not to make any unnecessary movements before the barrier was broken. She focused on wearing down Tianxia. Tianxia didn't organize any counterattacks and only focused on defense.
Tianxia looked like this on the surface, but changes were happening inside. Every day, it was stronger than the day before. This improvement seemed very weak at the moment, but it was improving every moment. If placed on a longer scale, there would be a huge transformation one day.
Feng Tingzhi's judgment wasn't wrong. After about two hundred days, the first barrier was broken through by Yuan Xia. Then, half a year later, the second barrier collapsed.
The two barriers were completely broken through, and the path to the Void World Domain was opened up again.
Zhang Yu looked at the black gold barrier that appeared in the sky again. He summoned Xuntian Dao Zhang and transmitted to Chief Enforcer Chen, "Chief Enforcer, it seems that the time is about right. We can start another layer of arrangements."
Chief Enforcer Chen said, "This arrangement is slightly dangerous. I don't know what other methods Yuan Xia has. Zhang Tingzhi, even if you use your external body, you have to be careful."
Zhang Yu said, "Chief Enforcer, don't worry. I will deal with it." After saying that, he ended the conversation and looked at a certain place. An external body entered that place.
Inside Yuan Xia's giant ship, Duan and Sheng Zheng saw the vast void finally appear in front of them. Both of them were slightly relieved.
According to the Heavenly Book, as long as they broke through these barriers in one or two years, Tianxia shouldn't have any barriers to stop them. However, there were too many variables in Tianxia. Who knew what new situations would appear? Although Yuan Xia wasn't afraid of fighting a battle of attrition, they had burdens on their backs and were afraid that it wouldn't end.
Sheng Zheng glanced below and said, "Chief Enforcer Duan, from now on, we have to move faster. Otherwise, the barriers might be built again and delay us for another one or two years."
Minister Duan was also tired of these barriers. He said, "You're right, we …" Halfway through his sentence, the two of them suddenly felt an indescribable change. It was clearly a connection between another part of the world and the power of the upper realm.
Logically speaking, they were about to attack the Void World Domain, which they thought was the place where the upper echelons of Tianxia gathered. Now that this world had suddenly appeared, they should ignore it.
However, Sheng Zheng's heart skipped a beat. This Heaven and Earth had just appeared and should be more lax. It was impossible for it to be as sturdy as the other Heavens and Earth.
The problem was that the two palaces wanted them to bring out the results of their battle. Was it more important to suppress Tianxia on the surface than to destroy the Otherworld that Tianxia had created? This was restraining Tianxia's Evolving World Domain.
He shared his thoughts with Minister Duan, and the latter was a little moved as well.
In the grand scheme of things, they had painstakingly penetrated through the obstacles in front of them. Instead of dealing with the real target, they had turned to attack an unimportant world. This was giving up the big for the small.
However, to the two of them, this would ensure that the two of them gave an explanation to the two palaces. Only by protecting themselves and occupying the tangible benefits could they talk about the future. Otherwise, even if they obtained the ultimate Dao, it would not belong to them. How could they be willing to let it be taken away by someone else after they had worked so hard?
However, now that it was concealed, they were not clear about the situation there. Hence, they did not act rashly. Instead, they immediately ordered a few Xuan Zun cultivators to carry formation tools to investigate the situation there.
Not long after, the Daoist cultivators returned to their sides. They bowed and said, "Reporting to the two Ministers, when we arrived, we suspected that we saw a sword light pass by. Everyone who went, including our subordinates, died inside and outside. Not a single one of them could survive."
Sheng Zheng's gaze froze. She said, "Sword gleam? Were you able to detect his aura? "
The Yuanxia cultivator replied, "The person guarding that place is extremely skilled. We were killed before we could detect anything."
Sheng Zheng's gaze flickered. She waved her hand and dismissed the cultivator. Then, she said to Minister Duan, "The person who stopped us is so skilled and can control the sword gleam. It's highly possible that it's that person." She believed that the person was Zhang Yu. However, mentioning his name here might trigger a reaction from him. Hence, she decided not to say anything.
Minister Duan also knew who he was talking about. He said, "It's highly possible. Does Minister Sheng want to deal with this person?"
Sheng Zheng said matter-of-factly, "If there's an opportunity, we won't let it go. If we can destroy this person's external body while destroying that world domain, then the two of us can have a proper explanation."
Minister Duan agreed. He said, "However, Minister Sheng, this person is not easy to get rid of. You should know that the Book of Heavenly Bo said that without the protection of Tianxia, it's difficult to get rid of him. There's not much chance."
Sheng Zheng said, "The Book of Heavenly Bo refers to his main body. However, what we need to deal with is his external body. It's possible. As long as we mobilize enough forces, we can definitely take down this person."
Minister Duan said, "What's Minister Sheng's plan?"
Sheng Zheng said, "If we find this person right away, he will be wary." He pointed in the direction of the Void World Domain. He said, "As long as we pretend to attack this place …" Then, he pointed in the direction of the Heaven and Earth that was being supported. "Then, we can attack this place by surprise."
Suddenly, Minister Duan said, "Could it be a trap?"
Sheng Zheng said, "I've thought about it. However, this time, we've only sent some external bodies. So what if they're destroyed? It's just another external body. We won't lose much. However, if this person's external body is destroyed and we attack that Heaven and Earth, it will be very beneficial to us. "
Minister Duan thought about it and felt that it made sense. Even if Tianxia had a way to destroy the external body, it would not be a big deal. However, if it succeeded, they would gain a lot. Therefore, he nodded and said, "We can give it a try. Minister Sheng, who do you want to send?"
Sheng Zheng already had a draft in mind. She said, "Let Minister Duan take some people, including Gao Shangzhen, Qi Shangzhen, and Zhi Shangzhen. The four of them have fought with that person before and are more familiar with him. They are not his match in a one-on-one battle. However, if the four of them work together, they will be able to suppress him. Even if they encounter some unexpected situations, they will be able to deal with it."
The two of them were actually considered the upper level of combat power. However, as the hosts and the main master of Yuanxia's Treasure of Dao, they would definitely not step in personally until the last moment.
Minister Duan was stunned. He did not expect that so many people from his side would be defeated by Zhang Yu. This did not include His Highness Ling Chengming who was killed.
He became cautious and said, "Although there is only one person guarding that Heaven and Earth, Tianxia will definitely provide support if he encounters the majority of our people."
Sheng Zheng said, "When the time comes, we will send more people. If Tianxia is willing to send people to battle with us, that would be more than welcome. We can also find out about Tianxia's background and see how many of them are seeking the complete Taoist technique. If they retreat, we can take advantage of the situation and overturn that Heaven and Earth. We will not be left empty-handed."
Minister Duan nodded. Speaking of which, they did not even know how many of Tianxia's people were seeking the complete Taoist technique. If they could figure it out this time, it would be considered a contribution.
He said, "Then we will send the four of them first. If it's not appropriate, we will call them back. If there are obstacles, we will send people to help."
The two of them decided and immediately started to make arrangements. On the surface, their main attack would be directed at the Void World Domain. However, their real target was the Heaven and Earth that connected to the Upper Level.
After a moment of silence in the Void of Tianxia, as spots of brilliance flickered on the Dark Gold Fortress, Yuan Xia launched an unprecedentedly powerful attack towards the Void World Domain. Countless flaming meteors crossed the Void and attacked in this direction.
The pressure on Dai Tingzhi's side increased greatly. The Tianxia cultivators on the various formations also felt as if they were sitting on waves, swaying back and forth with the entire formation.
Their expressions were solemn as they channeled all of their mana to guard their positions.
Ceng Yi was also sitting at a certain position. However, he felt that Yuan Xia's attack this time was a little different. He thought for a while and found a Xuanxiu disciple to come over. He said, "Can you help me contact Dai Tingzhi?"
The disciple said, "What's the matter with Xuan Zun?"
Ceng Yi did not hide anything. He said, "Dai Tingzhi also knows that I came from Yuan Xia. Therefore, I have some news regarding Yuan Xia's attack this time. I need to tell Dai Tingzhi in person."
The disciple heard that it was not a small matter. He said, "Xuan Zun, please wait for a moment." He fell silent. After a while, he said, "Xuan Zun, Dai Tingzhi invites you to come over. Just go through this door."
As he spoke, a formation door appeared in front of him.
Ceng Yi expressed his gratitude. He immediately created a clone and stepped into the formation door. When he came out again, he had already landed on a certain formation position. Dai Tingzhi's clone was standing there.
He took a few steps forward and bowed. He said, "Dai Tingzhi greets you."
Dai Tingzhi returned the greeting. He said, "Fellow Daoist Ceng, do you have anything you want me to say about Yuan Xia's attack this time?"
Ceng Yi said, "Dai Tingzhi, I think that Yuan Xia's attack this time is a little strange."
Dai Tingzhi asked, "What's wrong?"
Ceng Yi turned to look outside. He said, "Every time Yuan Xia goes on an expedition to the Outer World, they have a certain method. The order is very particular. Although they don't strictly follow this method, it's generally not wrong. For example, when they drop the formation weapon, they don't send their cultivators' avatars up first. Instead, they wait for the front to succeed before they appear. However, it's different now …"
He looked at the flying boat that was hovering there under the protection of the Sky Bearing Map. He said, "They haven't even waited for the front to succeed, but they've already sent their avatars out. It seems like they want to stop someone from us in advance instead of attacking us."
When Dai Tingzhi heard this, he already knew what was going on. He said, "Fellow Daoist Ceng, thank you for telling me. You've helped me confirm something. I'll record your contribution in a while."
Ceng Yi was delighted. He quickly bowed and thanked him.
Dai Tingzhi summoned Xuntian Dao Zhang and directly contacted Zhang Yu. He said, "Zhang Tingzhi, your arrangement might have lured the enemy. They might arrive soon."
