Chapter 206: A Perpetual Motion Machine Was Not Very Realistic
The Sacred Lord of Baiyuan within the Sacred Land of Baiyuan was judging the situation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu through the scene transmitted by a communication talisman.
Naturally, he did not know that the elders of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan were secretly criticizing him in their hearts.
Even if he knew, the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan would not have cared. In his heart, as long as Li Tianwei was not dead, he would absolutely never step into the territory of the Sacred Land of Lingxu again.
The feedback from the ability to seek fortune and avoid calamity was something the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan did not want to experience a second time.
Just as the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan was making his judgment, under the bombardment of tens of thousands of Formation-Breaking Awls, the grand formation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu finally developed a crack, even though it was quickly repaired.
But this also meant that this seemingly unbreakable formation had indeed developed a flaw.
According to the specifications of the grand formation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, it was sufficient to withstand the attacks of several Tribulation Transcendence Realm great experts.
However, it required around eight Union Realm elders to maintain the formation. At present, there were only the Sacred Lord of Lingxu and three others, making it fundamentally impossible to hold it.
Therefore, it was normal for the formation to be broken. Under a two-pronged assault, even the grand formation of any one of the Three Sacred Lands would be difficult to withstand.
Seeing that the grand formation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu had already shown signs of imminent collapse,
the disciples and elders of the Sacred Land of Baiyuan, having been reminded by the Sacred Lord of Baiyuan, did not rush to act. The other two Sacred Lands, however, were different.
Although the Three Sacred Lands had already formed an alliance, that did not mean they would obey the orders of the other Sacred Lands.
With the resources of an entire Sacred Land right before their eyes—cultivation methods, pills, spirit stones…
Even Union Realm Ancestors could not help but feel tempted. Some disciples had already prepared themselves; the moment the formation broke, they would immediately rush in ahead of the Haoran Righteous Alliance to plunder the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
“Can’t hold on much longer.”
“These Formation-Breaking Awls are still too terrifying. Tens of thousands of them—only the other Three Sacred Lands could gather that many.”
An elder with a pale face looked at the cracked formation and spoke.
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu could not help but sweep his gaze around.
Almost all of the elders and disciples were visibly weakened to the naked eye.
However, the Haoran Righteous Alliance outside was not in much better shape either. The disciples of the Sacred Land of Lingxu were at most weakened from overconsumption.
But the cultivators of the Haoran Righteous Alliance were facing the sect-protecting grand formation, and quite a few had already fallen under the formation’s attacks.
Unfortunately, at this point, some cultivators only then came to a realization—they had no possibility of retreat.
If they did not resolve the Sacred Land of Lingxu, then those who had taken action against it would absolutely face relentless pursuit from the Sacred Land of Lingxu in the future.
Moreover, even if they retreated, the eight Union Realm cultivators of the Haoran Righteous Alliance would not stand idly by.
Retreat meant certain death, while breaking the grand formation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu not only meant survival, but perhaps even acquiring some resources to break through several more realms and gain a few more years of life.
Cultivation itself was growth through struggle, and thus, this was an opportunity.
Boom…
The disciples of the Haoran Righteous Alliance continued their relentless assault. Countless splashes of bright red blood fell from midair.
The formation’s offensive methods continuously smashed down, accompanied by the roaring of various spells cast by Union Realm cultivators.
Endless attacks invaded from every direction, while on the other side the formation also had to withstand the aftermath of the battle between three Ancestors.
No matter how one looked at it, the Sacred Land of Lingxu no longer had any room to retreat.
“Why has Li Tianwei still not appeared?”
“It seems he really was restrained by the chaos caused by the Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors.”
“This truly is an opportunity.”
The Sacred Lord of Baiyuan muttered repeatedly while watching the projected scene through the communication talisman, a trace of desire revealed in his eyes.
At the same time, he felt some regret that he had not chosen to move with the group.
If even the cautious Sacred Lord of Baiyuan was beginning to stir with temptation, then there was no need to mention the others from the Three Sacred Lands.
Seeing that the Haoran Righteous Alliance was about to break the formation, they truly could not hold back any longer.
One could even see that members of the Three Sacred Lands had already quietly advanced some distance, as if the moment the grand formation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu broke, they would immediately charge in.
Rumble…
Crack…
A terrifying sound, carrying a sense of reaching its absolute limit, rang out from the grand formation.
It instantly drew everyone’s attention.
“The formation is about to break.”
Cracks appeared across the grand formation that enveloped the Sacred Land of Lingxu in midair, and at the same time it began to grow thin.
Moreover, this time the formation did not instantly repair itself as before. Instead, the cracks showed signs of expanding.
“Not good…”
Seeing this, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu immediately appeared at the crack and cast spells to repair it.
Unfortunately, due to excessive consumption, even the Sacred Lord of Lingxu found it difficult to mend it completely.
The people of the Haoran Righteous Alliance seized the moment and smashed their attacks toward that crack.
As the Sacred Lord of Lingxu stared at the node of the crack, his eyes went slightly unfocused, because he discovered that there was a problem with the formation.
Under normal circumstances, such a formation should not have developed cracks so quickly. Yet now it had, and only then did the Sacred Lord of Lingxu truly realize that the node of the formation had been crudely constructed. It was obvious that the person previously responsible for this section of the formation had not worked seriously and had not fulfilled the requirements.
As the Sacred Lord of a Sacred Land, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu naturally knew who had been responsible for this area.
“Su Changlin, you damn bastard.”
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu roared through clenched teeth. After all, this person was Su Qianhe’s grandson and possessed Nascent Soul Realm strength, but due to certain issues, he had already been dealt with by Li Tianwei.
At this moment, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu finally understood why Li Tianwei had killed so many elders and disciples who seemed, on the surface, to have no problems at all.
“Could his eyes really see through a person’s sins?”
At this moment, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu understood that regret was useless.
The jackals and wolves outside had already bared their fangs.
From the instant the formation cracked open, the cultivators of the Haoran Righteous Alliance had already surged forward.
Greed, desire, and destructive emotions swept down like a tide.
“Li Tianwei still hasn’t appeared.”
The elders of the Three Sacred Lands watched as the formation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu was breached and became completely certain that Li Tianwei was indeed restrained.
For a moment, aside from the Sacred Land of Baiyuan, the cultivators of the other two Sacred Lands pressed forward.
“Sacred Lord, look—those are people from the Three Sacred Lands.”
As members of the two Sacred Lands appeared, the elders within the Sacred Land of Lingxu who were monitoring the outside sent urgent voice transmissions to the Sacred Lord of Lingxu.
“What…”
The Sacred Lord of Lingxu’s expression changed drastically. With a sweep of his divine sense, he detected more than ten Union Realm cultivators, as well as Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators whose auras were vast enough to tower over heaven and earth.
Seeing those cultivators appear in the distance, the Sacred Lord of Lingxu’s face instantly turned pale, traces of despair surfacing.
The Sacred Land of Lingxu, which had stood for tens of thousands of years, seemed to have reached its end at this very moment.
“Make your move.”
The Sacred Lord of Baiyuan, upon seeing the other two Sacred Lands take action, understood that he could no longer restrain his subordinates. He could only give a light nod.
Very soon, the people of the Three Sacred Lands completely surged toward the nearly broken grand formation of the Sacred Land of Lingxu.
“Strange. Wasn’t it supposed to be infinite power? Why is it becoming weaker and weaker?”
On the other side, Li Tianwei sensed that the three Tribulation Transcendence Realm Ancestors, who had already contributed an unknown amount of power to him, were beginning to grow feeble, and he could not help but feel somewhat helpless.
“A perpetual motion machine really was not very realistic.”
