Chapter 204: The Army Presses to the Border
“The current consumption of the grand formation should be able to hold until the ancestors’ chaos ends.”
“As long as there are no other unforeseen changes.”
“Li Tianwei, where exactly is the limit of your power?”
Watching the great battle deep within the Sacred Land, where Li Tianwei was contending against three chaotic Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu could not help but sigh at how terrifying Li Tianwei truly was.
At the same time, there was also a trace of relief. Earlier, Li Tianwei had suppressed more than a dozen Union Realm Ancestors and carried out a peaceful transition, without allowing the Sacred Land of Lingxu to lose too many resources. Otherwise, it was uncertain whether this grand formation could even be activated now.
Although Li Tianwei was powerful, if there had been no protection from the grand formation, given his temperament, he would certainly have freed his hands to protect the people of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, which would also have affected him.
Sensing that the battle within the Sacred Land had reached a stalemate, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu calculated the time. The duration of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors’ chaos was roughly half a day. There should be no major problem.
“Sacred Lord, a large number of cultivators have appeared.”
Just at this moment, a voice sounded beside the Sacred Lord of Lingxu.
Hearing this sentence, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu could not help but tremble.
He quickly regained his composure and looked toward the direction indicated by the elder earlier, only to see densely packed figures appearing at the main gate of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
“That is…”
At this moment, a bad premonition immediately arose in the Sacred Lord of Lingxu’s heart.
When his divine sense swept out, it was immediately obstructed. The Sacred Lord of Lingxu promptly raised his head to look toward the distant sky, where he saw several familiar figures.
“It’s them. Jiang Tiancheng, those people from the Haoran Righteous Alliance.”
As a sect under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu was extremely familiar with Jiang Tiancheng and the others.
After all, within the territory governed by the Sacred Land of Lingxu, he was perfectly aware of which sects had Union Realm cultivators and which did not.
And Jiang Tiancheng, that old fellow, was also a Union Realm great expert who had lived for an extremely long time. Calculated carefully, he was separated from him by two generations.
If nothing was wrong, that old fellow only had a few hundred years of lifespan left.
Now, stirring up this Haoran Righteous Alliance to oppose them, his purpose was obvious.
All at once, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu understood why the Haoran Righteous Alliance had suddenly appeared here.
“Damn it, they really know how to choose their timing.”
Seeing this, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu’s eyes turned fierce, and he immediately wanted to skin Jiang Tiancheng and those fellows alive, one by one.
But very quickly, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu realized something was off about the Haoran Righteous Alliance. With an alliance cobbled together from such a motley assortment of sects, how could they possibly have such well-informed intelligence, and even arrive at the Twelve Peaks in such a short time?
There must be some force working behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu naturally arrived at an answer. The greatest possibility was the other three Sacred Lands of the Northern Spirit Domain. Only they possessed such capability.
“No, we must hold on. It’s only eight Union Realm cultivators. Once Li Tianwei endures through the chaos of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors, then we can settle accounts with them one by one.”
“The Haoran Righteous Alliance, the Three Sacred Lands—none of them will be spared by me.”
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu ground his teeth as he quickly turned his head to look in another direction.
“Martial Uncle Dong Yuan, Junior Brother Xu, form the formation with me. Martial Senior Bai, you anchor the formation. Those people from the Haoran Righteous Alliance have arrived.”
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu immediately transmitted his voice to the remaining three Union Realm Ancestors of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
At the same time, command after command was issued, causing disciples and elders of all realms throughout the Sacred Land of Lingxu to mobilize.
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu and the other three great ancestors launched together, activating the offensive end of the grand formation.
On the other side, the Out-of-Body Realm elders and Spirit Transformation Realm elders continued to maintain the formation, resisting the aftershocks from the other side where Li Tianwei was battling the three Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators.
The remaining disciples transported various resources and spiritual medicines. Everyone became busy at the same time.
At the front of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, tens of thousands of cultivators from the Haoran Righteous Alliance had already flown through the air and arrived before the Sacred Land.
Looking at the grand formation outside the Sacred Land of Lingxu, as well as the spiritual energy of the entire region, so dense it was unknown how many times greater than elsewhere, and constantly sensing the aura of the spiritual veins beneath their feet—
Most importantly, some people could not help but look toward the Heart-Questioning Steps that stretched across the front of the Sacred Land. A sense of omen arose in their hearts, that feeling of fortune right before their eyes, all proclaiming the wealth of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
A trace of greed appeared in the eyes of these cultivators, especially when they sensed the auras of the cultivators inside the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
The once terrifyingly powerful Sacred Land of Lingxu was no more. Only four Union Realm cultivators remained, a dozen or so Out-of-Body Realm cultivators, and at least half of its top-tier battle power had vanished.
“As expected, internal chaos has broken out.”
“Hahahaha, Heaven blesses Haoran.”
Jiang Tiancheng, as a peak Union Realm cultivator, possessed extremely sharp divine sense. In an instant, he assessed the current state of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
However, Jiang Tiancheng still looked with some wariness toward the rear of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, at the magnificent battle whose aftershocks were spreading outward. Without a doubt, that was a battlefield of Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators.
But Jiang Tiancheng felt it did not matter. By the time they finished dealing with the Sacred Land of Lingxu, those Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors would more or less fall into a weakened state. Moreover, did he not still have the other Three Sacred Lands anchoring the formation?
They, too, had dispatched Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators.
Jiang Tiancheng could not help but look to the rear.
At this moment, the Three Sacred Lands had also arrived near the Sacred Land of Lingxu through teleportation formations. However, they did not approach closely, instead observing from afar.
To ensure victory this time, each of the Three Sacred Lands had dispatched one Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestor, along with five Union Realm Ancestors.
Altogether, there were three Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators, fifteen Union Realm cultivators, and many disciples prepared for battle.
And they had only one objective: to eliminate Li Tianwei and at the same time erase the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
Previously, they had not harbored such intentions. But now that they had arrived at the main sect of the Sacred Land of Lingxu and seen its current state, such thoughts immediately arose.
Because within the present Sacred Land of Lingxu, the auras being revealed showed that its battle power no longer possessed the foundation that a Sacred Land ought to have.
In the cultivation world, the weak were prey to the strong. Since the Sacred Land of Lingxu no longer had this capability, naturally they would take it for themselves.
“One opportunity. The resources of one Sacred Land.”
This was the only thought in the minds of the ancestors of the Three Sacred Lands.
Even the people of the Three Sacred Lands themselves had not expected that an opportunity to wipe out a Sacred Land would come so suddenly, and even occur on such an ordinary day.
Sudden intelligence, the chaos of Tribulation Transcendence, and the fall of more than a dozen Union Realm Ancestors of the Sacred Land of Lingxu—any single one of these events would have been enough to collapse a Sacred Land.
Yet the Sacred Land of Lingxu did not fall. Instead, it still required the joint effort of the Three Sacred Lands to completely overthrow it.
And all of this could be attributed to a single person—Li Tianwei.
Even at this stage, the people of the Three Sacred Lands remained steady, focusing their attention on the Haoran Righteous Alliance’s assault on the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
This showed just how terrifying the deterrence Li Tianwei posed to the Three Sacred Lands truly was.
Thinking about it, it was only natural. A Golden Core Realm cultivator who had slaughtered more than a dozen Union Realm cultivators—now that he was in the Nascent Soul Realm, how could they not be cautious?
The Tribulation Transcendence battle at the rear of the Sacred Land of Lingxu continued, showing no sign of ending at all.
