Chapter 1171 - Blood in the Hall (1/2)
Shick…
Shick shick shick shick…
The forty-nine sparks flew about as quickly as lightning in every direction of the hall and scratched against the walls, and they even intersected with each other. They might seem to be moving with no pattern whatsoever, but also seemed to be obeying some sort of law. It looked incredibly abstruse.
Ye Gucheng and the other elites in the dao of heaven occupied one spot of their own while they observed the sparks, located at different spots. Their eyes sparkled, as if they wanted to see through the walls.
The judgment these elites in the dao of heaven possessed were much better than those in Myth Realm.
Even though the sparks hid away the real condition of the divine weapons, based on the rust that fell off and how the chaotic sounds slowly became one, they could slowly sense that forty-nine fierce forces were gradually getting stronger. The sword will that filled the hall had been endlessly huge previously, but now, it slowly gathered together.
Even though they did not receive any guidance from Thousand-faced Human Fox, these elites in the dao of heaven slowly came to understand that the sword formation was accumulating strength before it was activated.
“Everyone, be careful!”
Ye Gucheng’s gaze turned solemn, and he gave a warning with a grave voice. “The divine weapons create the sword formation, and the sword formation increases the might of the divine weapons, unless we can completely destroy the forty-nine divine weapons, we will be trapped here by the sword formation until the moment we die.”
“Are you certain that we can only break the formation by destroying the forty-nine divine weapons?” The old zither player was the first to have his expression change. He spoke anxiously, “The procedure to successfully create a high-grade divine weapon is incredibly tedious, because you have to practically get rid of all the impurities in the sword. It will be very hard to destroy perfect divine weapons like these. Unless we have ancient divine swords, or else, we will not be able to destroy these divine weapons within a short time.”
“That’s right.” Evil King agreed. “Even if all of us in the dao of heaven attack together, it’s impossible that we can leave a mark on those divine weapons.”
Right after he finished speaking, Bi Xuan turned a cold gaze at them. “I have some understanding regarding divine weapons. No matter how good a divine weapon is, it cannot withstand the corrosion of time. Impurities will slowly gather in it, and in the end, it will be completely corrupted. Even if they were once high-grade divine weapons, now, they are not perfect anymore.”
“Martial Paragon, are you saying…?”
“High-grade divine weapons might be difficult to destroy, but imperfect divine weapons might not be able to cause us this much despair…”
“He’s right.” For the first time, the mysterious man under the fanged mask spoke. His loud voice was filled with power, and he allowed no disagreement. “When divine weapons that do not possess qualities of high-grade divine weapons are forced to move at a speed that surpasses even what high-grade divine weapons can execute so that they can form a formation in a magnetic field from Earth’s core, they will not be as indestructible as you think they are.”
“What do you think, everyone?”
“The desert palace has been activated more than once since ancient times, perhaps someone has already entered this place before us, and the sword formation might have been activated more than once.” Delight appeared on Ye Gucheng’s face.
While the elites in the dao of heaven discussed with each other, the shadow of death that hung over the two hundred Myth Realm elites in the hall instantly became fainter.
Happy was the only one who did not have a positive outlook to their words. His expression was as solemn as before.
All of it was because of one explanation Thousand-faced Human Fox had provided to him regarding the magnetic field from Earth’s core later on.
These divine weapons were high-grade divine weapons which were refined with the magnetic field of Earth’s core fused into them! Since they were in a sword formation filled with the magnetic field from Earth’s core, this meant that they were basically nourished in Earth’s embrace every day. Their quality was definitely maintained at their original standard. These elites in the dao of heaven must have noticed that this formation was threatening them, which was why they decided to work together. They intended to use their subordinates and sacrifice a part of them to find the weakness of the sword formation.
However, Great Sky Force Formation contained extraordinary power. Even the elites in the dao of heaven were not to underestimate it. At this moment, they must give the others confidence, or else, even if they sacrificed everyone, they might not be able to obtain the results they wanted.
Happy believed that Osaya must have received a private message from the other elites in the dao of heaven, but he said nothing about it. Osaya might have promised to protect him, but now that both of them were facing a life and death situation, Happy would definitely not place his life in another person’s hands.
At that moment, one of the flaming snakes in the hall suddenly stopped moving.
The sound that suddenly disappeared instantly made everyone in the hall tense. The crowd looked at each other.
Whoosh!
The sword had all the rust covering its body removed, and now, it was a sharp, unsheathed sword that had its sharpness fully revealed. It released a powerful, chilling glare, causing all those who saw it to feel as if it was piercing into their eyes.
“Make your formation!”
The martial paragon gave his order, and a group of Myth Realm elites quickly formed a circular formation. They looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
The old zither and the people beside him also formed their formation.
The other elites in the dao of heaven were alone, aside from Evil King and Empress Yin, who brought their disciples along. However, this meant that these elites had removed a lot of baggage tying them down. They stood where they were indifferently.
The sword formation had finished gathering strength, and it would definitely launch a violent attack next. Happy did not dare to be careless. He quickly focused and spread his spirit sense to its limit. At the same time, he tightened his hold over Heaven Crystal before he slowly closed his eyes.
In an instant, he entered a most profound state, where his heart was as calm as an ancient well.
He did not use his eyes. He just used his spirit sense to sense everything around him.
Whoosh!
At the moment the sounds of longswords cutting through air rose in the hall, Happy’s ears twitched faintly.
“They’re coming!”
Bi Xuan shouted loudly, but he did not move in the slightest.
The second, third, fourth…
All forty-nine divine weapons shot out from all directions one after another lock down on the different targets in the hall.
The fastest way to wear down divine weapons was to deliver high-intensity attacks
A middle-aged man who followed Bi Xuan was the first to face the first divine weapon. He relied on his qi realm, which was at the peak of Myth Realm, and readily chose to face it head on.
He chose his timing and angle incredibly carefully. He seized the moment the longsword moved past his body to strike at the blade with his own sword.
Clang!
