Chapter 241: Rushing to the Battlefield
Chapter 241: Rushing to the Battlefield
They left half of their Nascent Soul cultivators along with all Golden Core, and Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard their main base, while the other half of the Nascent Soul cultivators moved forward to engage the Alliance forces.
"They will be left to you for now. I will proceed according to plan."
Tao Lin’s figure flickered and disappeared without a trace.
San Tu immediately laughed loudly and said, "In the past I have tried fighting one against ten. Today I will try one against a hundred. The remaining hundred or so of you can divide the rest among yourselves. I never thought that in my lifetime I would be able to fight so many Nascent Soul cultivators."
Qing Shuang smiled gently and said in an elegant tone, though his meaning was anything but refined, "Since Fellow Daoist San Tu is doing so, I cannot lose to you. Then I will also try one against a hundred and have a thoroughly unrestrained battle."
Hearing this, the others also spoke up one after another.
"I cannot manage one against a hundred, but one against ten is still fine."
"Mm, I will take ten as well."
"I will also take ten."
"First come, first served."
"Those who act first have the advantage."
As they spoke, everyone accelerated forward to meet the enemy.
Both sides were Nascent Soul cultivators at the peak of this world’s cultivation hierarchy.
The moment they clashed, the heavens shook and the earth split apart, with sunlight and moonlight seemingly extinguished.
Fortunately, this place was far away from human settlements, so there would be no large scale casualties among mortals.
Tao Lin possessed an empty spirit root and was most proficient in spatial techniques, making her the most suitable person for this part of the plan.
After leaving the battlefield, she quickly concealed her presence and used several instant movements to arrive near the massive palace.
Sensing the cultivators stationed there, she carefully placed formation pillars at eight different positions.
After inserting spirit jades into the formation plate, she immediately activated the array.
Eight layers of light membranes extended in all directions, above and below, forming a tightly bound barrier that sealed the entire area, trapping all cultivators and the palace within.
The opposing Nascent Soul cultivators immediately attacked the barrier, but the formation was extremely stable.
Even under the combined assault of more than ten Nascent Soul experts, it did not even tremble.
Seeing this, all the Nascent Soul cultivators attacked the barrier at the same time.
This time, the light membrane trembled a few times before stabilizing again.
The consumption of spiritual energy was extremely rapid.
Tao Lin sensed the spiritual energy within the low grade spirit jades draining quickly.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she thought to herself that this formation plate was indeed extraordinary.
A Tier 5 formation possessing such powerful restraining ability was truly unexpected.
Even the Tier 6 formations granted to her from the upper realm were not this formidable.
The only issue was the immense consumption.
It required low grade spirit jades to activate, which made her feel a bit of heartache.
Just what kind of background did that master and disciple have?
One was incredibly intelligent and seemingly able to predict everything.
The other spent resources freely without hesitation.
They did not resemble independent cultivators from a mortal realm at all.
The younger generation was truly becoming more and more formidable.
Unaware that this formation had been accidentally created by Xiao Shou using ice silk worm threads and a Tier 5 trapping formation plate, Tao Lin felt quite puzzled.
As she maintained control of the formation, she thought to herself that those two had better arrive soon.
If this continued, even if there were enough low grade spirit jades, the formation pillars might not be able to endure much longer.
The attacks from over two hundred Nascent Soul cultivators were simply too fierce.
...
After successfully working together to purify an area spanning ten thousand miles, Xiao Shou and Fu Young followed the directional aura markers left by Qing Shuang.
After flying about a hundred miles beyond the formation, they saw Gou Guangming and the other three waiting in midair.
They quickly stopped and Xiao Shou asked in confusion, "Why are you here? Did you not go with the three overseers to join the battle?"
"They said we had only just entered the Nascent Soul stage and lacked combat experience. Going there would only get in the way," Gou Guangming replied awkwardly, scratching his nose.
Fu Young glanced at the four of them. "Follow me. We will go let them see the power of your Four Symbols Combined Strike technique."
"That technique is not something ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can achieve."
In truth, if this combined technique were used by four cultivators with four element spirit roots who also practiced the same cultivation method Fu Young had learned, its power would be even greater.
Each strike could reach the peak of the Spirit Transformation stage.
After all, it was a heaven grade secret art deduced by his beloved disciple specifically for four element combined attacks.
After a brief exchange, the group immediately headed toward the battlefield.
Following the aura markers left by Qing Shuang, they flew for more than half an hour before they began to sense the presence of numerous powerful cultivators.
The sword intent, spells, and violent spiritual energy filled with destructive force saturated the air.
They instantly realized they were approaching the battlefield.
Xiao Shou’s divine sense was no weaker than the others, perhaps even stronger, allowing him to perceive the situation more clearly.
He took a deep breath and transmitted his voice.
"Prepare for battle. We are almost there."
"Mm."
"Yes, Sect Master."
"Please rest assured, Sect Master."
"Form the formation."
The four spoke in unison.
Their figures immediately shifted as they took their positions, forming the Four Symbols Formation.
They adjusted their spiritual energy, formed hand seals, and prepared to strike at any moment.
Very quickly, in just two breaths, even without using divine sense, they could already see the battlefield in the distance with the naked eye.
