Chapter 216 Breakthrough
This time, twenty-three Primordial Spirit Cultivators had come to help Alkaid with protection.
The number was more than he had anticipated.
Of course, this included Bai Lu, the newcomer who had just made a breakthrough.
After gathering them, Alkaid also directly transmitted the Heavenly Dao Woeful Formation to these twenty-three Primordial Spirit Cultivators, and led them all in learning together.
Originally, the twenty-three Primordial Spirit Cultivators had been puzzled as to why Alkaid had summoned them so urgently, but upon seeing the formation, each one of them became uncontrollably excited.
As Primordial Spirit Cultivators, they could tell that this formation significantly amplified their abilities; if one had to rank it, it was at least a Seventh Level Formation and perhaps even Fourth or Fifth Generation.
However, since the formation was originally derived from a secret technique, it did not require other cultivators to have high mastery of formations, only that the person leading the formation had superb skill in the secret technique of the formless Heavenly Dao.
But this was not a problem for Alkaid.
Under his "Divine Master" trait and his joint study with the twenty-three Primordial Spirit Cultivators, they had mastered the formation in just one month.
Originally, under the advice of Xu Kong, Murong Hui, and others, they should have waited until everyone thoroughly understood the formation before actually testing it, but...
During that month, the Great Sun Sword Sect had pressed forward again.
The Shenfeng Academy, Shenmu Academy, and Shenshan Academy, three elite Battle Courtyards, were eyeing them fiercely.
The Vajra Heavenly Patrol Warship also occasionally breached into the Nine Cauldrons Sect's controlled waters, clearly probing the limits of the Nine Cauldrons Sect.
Additionally, the originally deployed Xuanwu Warship within the sect was moved to the Eastern Sea area. Although it did not invade the Nine Cauldrons Sect's controlled waters, it roamed just outside their control zone, seemingly ready to support the Vajra and the three elite Battle Courtyards at any moment, just as the Limitless Star Palace had invaded the Nine Heavens Domain years before.
With tensions escalating, Alkaid had no choice but to act in advance.
After all, these people were here to provide cover; simply rehearsing the Heavenly Dao Woeful Formation was enough. They weren't actually meant to confront Dharma Phase Cultivators.
...
This time, with everyone ready, Alkaid and the group went to the central square of the Third Heavenly Patrol Research Institute.
The Third Heavenly Patrol Research Institute itself was a highly defensive zone, later fortified by many second-line Battle Courtyards surrounding it.
The defensive strength here was so strong that it had even surpassed Nine Cauldrons Sect's headquarters in Red City, and with the Sea-Calming Divine Needle, Li Hanqiu also focusing on this area, its safety was beyond doubt.
"Everyone, I appreciate your efforts. The Heavenly Dao Woeful Formation that follows will have me as the formation spearhead, charging deep into the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer. You will just need to coordinate with me on the edge of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer and deploy the formation. If anyone senses anything amiss, notify me immediately to withdraw from the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer," Alkaid said as he clasped his hands towards the Primordial Spirit Cultivators behind him.
"Please rest assured, Hall Master Alkaid, we will cooperate to the best of our abilities."
"If we can master this formation, we would be equivalent to being able to form a Dharma Phase Cultivator anytime. And by using the 'Primordial Realm' Spiritual Treasure... we won't have to worry about being at a disadvantage on an informational level whether against the Myriad Beasts Sect or the Immortal Alliance."
"Hahaha, please go ahead and arrange it, Hall Master Alkaid."
The Primordial Spirit Cultivators readily agreed.
At that moment, upon Alkaid's command, the Primordial Spirits of the twenty-four Primordial Spirit Cultivators flew out from their bodies and soared into the sky.
The Primordial Spirits flew extremely fast, reaching the Scorching Sun Heavenly Thunder Layer in no time.
Even the sword cultivators guarding along the way were a bit slower than them.
When the twenty-four "Yin Attribute" Primordial Spirits burst into the Red Sun Heavenly Thunder Layer area, where Yin interacts with Yang, it quickly caused massive celestial changes. Friction between the Primordial Spirits and the outside world instantly formed terrifying thunderbolts targeting the group of twenty-four led by Alkaid.
But...
It was only Scorching Sun Heavenly Thunder.
Not to mention Alkaid, even Bai Lu, who had just undergone the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Tempering, could easily withstand it.
The group of twenty-four quickly soared through the thunderbolts and directly reached the even more perilous Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer.
"It's the Origin Realm!"
Xu Kong excitedly exclaimed, "Alkaid, the Hall Master, is carrying the 'Origin Realm,' this top-grade Spiritual Treasure, combined with the formation we have established..."
"Bang!"
Under the suppression of the Void Divine Realm and the concentrated Divine Sense of twenty-four Primordial Spirit Cultivators forming an attack, the incoming Sword of Divine Sense was crushed mid-air, sending out waves of invisible ripples.
"We blocked it!"
"That's great!"
"I knew it... the Heavenly Dao Woeful Formation along with the 'Origin Realm' as a Spiritual Treasure, together, absolutely qualify us to contend against a Dharma Phase!"
At this moment, more than half of the twenty-three Primordial Spirit Cultivators couldn't help but feel spirited, their emotions tinged with joy.
However...
Alkaid was ultimately in the midst of "Tribulation", and being disturbed, his situation became incredibly perilous.
Lin Deng, sensing these events from far above the Nine Heavens, did not hesitate. His mighty Divine Sense that had just been dispersed, reassembled again, appearing ready to launch another round of attacks.
But just then, atop the same battlefield among the Nine Heavens.
A figure in the palace abruptly rose to his feet.
"Lin Deng, what audacity! Do you no longer regard me, Li Hanqiu, with any respect!"
His gaze traversed the Void, landing straight on the palace where Lin Deng and others were located.
Along with his form tearing through the sky, he indeed broke away from his own palace and sped towards the area where Lin Deng and the Golden Core cultivators of the Limitless Star Palace were gathered.
As soon as he left the palace's formation, and also as he continued to condense Divine Skills, constantly pulling energy from his Golden Core to form a Sun Divine Fire intent on piercing the heavens and earth, his Golden Core visibly started to destabilize.
This scene caused everyone in the Limitless Star Palace to simultaneously blanch.
"Don't come over here!"
"Damn it! Breaking free from formation suppression!? What are you intending!? To trigger the final battle prematurely?"
"Li Hanqiu, calm down, calm down, let's talk it over... It needn't come to this, it really needn't..."
Amidst cries of exclamation, a Sun Divine Fire like a star-destroying cannon, shot out an energy beam, crossing the three million miles between them, directly blasting towards Lin Deng's palace, forcing the Golden Core cultivators of the Limitless Star Palace to intercept.
But even so, the wild energy fluctuations still stirred up a tremendous Destruction Torrent above the Nine Heavens, so vast and powerful it could pulverize a planet ten thousand miles in diameter into dust.
"Li Hanqiu, you're mad!"
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
"His condition is already poor, and he keeps taking action; I believe he just wants to take a few down with him before he dies! Let's not lower ourselves to his level!"
Chants of Divine Sense and Divine Consciousness resonated above the Nine Heavens.
The palace belonging to Lin Deng quickly activated and moved, avoiding Li Hanqiu from afar.
As for Alkaid, in the midst of "Tribulation" in the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer...
Believing they had understood the secrets of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, they now had no time to probe further.
As Li Hanqiu pursued Lin Deng for thirty million miles, the dense thunder within the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer gradually subsided.
Alkaid's form reappeared at the edge of the Purple Cloud Divine Thunder Layer.
Upon reappearing, he wasted no time, swiftly returning to the Northern Dipper Domain with the gathered Primordial Spirit Cultivators.
