Chapter 1171 The War Begins (1/2)

It was a large island surrounded by distorted space.

Figures continuously emerged behind him one by one, reaching roughly a hundred in total.

They were led by Bai Xiaolu, Guan Qinglong, Jiang Jinlin and the other apex-level experts.

All of them were holding the purple jade strips passed to them by Zhou Yuan earlier.

They had used the spatial coordinates in the jade strips to gather here.

Bai Xiaolu curiously observed the surroundings as she asked in her immature voice, “Is this the interior of the Sacred Derivation Boundary Formation.”

Zhou Yuan nodded and did a headcount to make sure that no one was missing.

Guan Qinglong asked in a low voice, “What do we do next?”

Zhou Yuan explained, “This is one of the boundary nodes we are using as an access point to enter the Sacred Derivation Boundary Formation’s interior. From here, we’ll dive deeper and deeper into the boundary and ultimately reach its core.

“However, the boundary’s overwhelming power is not something we can face. Take this node for example, even all of us gathered here won’t be able to break the space here.”

Zhou Yuan pointed towards the distorted space in front of them. The terrifying power within made his heart shiver.

Bai Xiaolu and the others also revealed grave expressions. However, their gazes continued to be fixed on Zhou Yuan, because they knew that he definitely had a method to overcome this since he had brought them here.

“Don’t look at me. The next move doesn’t depend on me but all of our five heavens teams.”

Zhou Yuan sighed softly and retrieved a purple-gold jade strip. Light blossomed from it, forming a screen in the air.

There were a thousand scattered dots blinking on the screen.

“These dots represent all of our teams. They’re currently spread throughout various locations in the Sacred Derivation Boundary Formation, and have likely already begun fighting with the defending Sacred Race teams...

“Their mission is to destroy all the outer boundary nodes.

“Only when a certain number of these nodes are destroyed will the space where we’re at begin to weaken. When that happens, it'’ll be our chance to dive deeper.”

Zhou Yuan stared at the dots as he pursed his lips. “Simply put, they’re using their lives to build a path for us.”

The place instantly fell silent as gaze after gaze looked towards the screen. They could see some of the dots dimming, and even some that suddenly disappear...

It meant that an entire team had been wiped out.

A cruel and desperate aura spread from the screen.

It was like Zhou Yuan had said, they were using their lives to build a path.

A path into the Sacred Derivation Boundary Formation.

Zhou Yuan’s head was slightly lowered as a sign of respect for them. This was how battles against the Sacred Race were, cruel and no option to turn back.

“Nearly all of the Sacred Race forces should be gathered here to form the foundation and maintain operation of the great array. However, it also makes their power dispersed. In other words, this is the best chance for us to focus our power and push in.”

Zhou Yuan breathed in deeply, forcibly calming himself. “Everyone, if we do reach the end of our journey and manage to destroy the array, the backlash will completely obliterate the Sacred Race.

“It’s a road of no retreat. We can only advance with all our might!”

Everyone tightly clenched their fists as fierce determination rose in their eyes.

The screen continued to flicker for an incense stick of time.
