20demayo Chapter 1905 A Joint Attack?!
Chapter 1905 A Joint Attack?!
Master Lingxu's exclamation and Jinman's urgent telepathic message were like ice water poured over their heads, instantly tensing up everyone who had just undergone tempering and whose minds had relaxed slightly!
"A joint attack? The Silent Zen Temple and Yueyao?" Sect Master Ye exclaimed, his face full of disbelief.
Based on previous observations, there is absolutely no possibility that these two forces would easily join forces. How could Yueyao, with her proud and suspicious nature, possibly cooperate with those ascetics from the Silent Extinction Temple who act strangely and use bizarre techniques?
With the help of Master Lingxu, Mingchuan straightened up. Though his face was pale, his eyes were as sharp as ever, and he instantly grasped the key point:
"The final anomaly of the Star Pivot Order! When that resonance and Dao Beacon information were transmitted, it must have triggered special spatial and legal ripples!"
He looked at the Star Pivot Order, its radiance subdued and now in slumber, on the ground, and then at Sect Master Lin and Sect Master Chu.
"Sect Master Lin's sword intent was reshaped, triggering a resonance with the blazing flames; Sect Master Chu's water techniques reached their peak, touching upon the Dao of Profound Water. These two attributes share the same origin as the powers of two gatekeepers recorded in the Star Pivot Token. At the moment the tempering field ended and the laws underwent drastic changes, they resonated with the Star Pivot Token at a depth far exceeding that of usual!"
"This resonance not only conveys vague signpost information, but may also act like a lighthouse in the night, indicating to the outside world that there is a high concentration of ancient stellar law fluctuations related to the gatekeeper here!"
Master Lingxu instantly understood, his face turning ashen: "The Silent Extinction Zen Temple has been searching for everything related to the Void, the Anchor Point, and the Gatekeeper! They are most sensitive to these kinds of fluctuations!"
"And Yueyao... she has never stopped investigating the Star Gate and ancient secrets, so she must also have special magical artifacts or secret techniques to detect such fluctuations!"
"It was as if a huge rock had been thrown into a calm lake! Both sides likely detected this unusual fluctuation at the same time, and... determined that the source of the fluctuation was our Wanchuan Sect!"
Mingchuan gritted his teeth and said, "More likely, both sides thought the other was unaware, or they both came with the intention of striking first and seizing the opportunity, only to run into each other at the external space barrier!"
"This is how a fragile attack agreement targeting our Wanchuan Sect was temporarily reached!"
Given the mutual benefits, a temporary alliance is not impossible.
Especially when they all believed that Wan Chuan Sect had the key and important information, joining forces to crush them with absolute power and divide the spoils became the most direct option.
"Quick! Get to the Observatory Platform!"
Without hesitation, Mingchuan, with the spiritual power of Lingxu Zhenren, transformed into several streams of light with the four sect leaders and rushed towards the core of the Suspended Palace.
The Observatory Platform was now filled with a somber atmosphere.
The enormous mirror rippled violently, displaying a terrifying scene from the outside world—
Outside the independent space where Wanchuan Sect is located, the void gap that should have been empty is now firmly locked by two enormous objects!
On the left is a giant ship, its body a dark gold color, with a grotesque shape that looks as if it were cast from countless bones and metals. The ship's hull is covered with distorted Buddhist scriptures and reliefs of suffering faces, and the bow is a huge skull with dark gold soul fire burning in its eye sockets.
It is the ascetic vessel of the Silent Zen Monastery!
Around the ship, viscous, dark golden flames of annihilation burned fiercely, constantly scorching and eroding the spatial barrier formed by the Wanchuan Sect's protective array.
On the right is a shuttle-shaped flying boat with smooth lines, elegant and beautiful, and flowing with moon-white light all over its body—the Moonlight Shuttle!
The shuttle's body was crystal clear, as if it were formed from moonlight, but at its front end was a highly refined, moon-white cone of light that exuded a terrifying cutting and icy aura. It was spinning wildly at an extremely high frequency, drilling into the same spot in the spatial barrier!
Two forces, vastly different yet equally powerful, are tearing apart and destroying the very foundation of the Wan Chuan Sect from two directions in the most savage and direct way!
The silver spatial barrier formed by the sect's protective formation trembled violently, like glass that had been hit by a boulder. Huge ripples spread across its surface, the light flickering, and fine, spiderweb-like cracks began to appear at its edges!
Jin Man stood in front of the main control platform, her hands moving rapidly like butterflies flitting among flowers, mobilizing the sect's vast reserves of spiritual power to inject into the core of the array. Her face was pale from overexertion, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Ah Xiong, Meng Dalang, Ji Zhou, and others were already in their positions, leading the disciples of the Battle Hall and the elites of the Law Enforcement Hall, guarding the main nodes leading to the outside and the important internal facilities. Everyone had a solemn expression, weapons in hand, and spiritual energy surging.
Leng hope, Ran Qianqian, and Dong Chuyan assisted Jin Man in monitoring feedback from various parts of the array and dealing with the flood of damage reports.
"How is the situation?" Mingchuan asked in a deep voice as he stepped onto the platform.
Without turning her head, Jin Man spoke rapidly: "It's terrible! The Nirvana Buddhist Fire of the Nirvana Zen Temple has an extremely strong corrosive and disintegrating effect on spatial barriers, while Yue Yao's Moonlight Shuttle focuses on one point, concentrating its destructive power."
"Although their coordination is clumsy, their level of power is too high!"
"There are at least two Nascent Soul stage cultivators on the Ascetic Boat, one of whom is extremely obscure and profound, probably at the late or even peak Nascent Soul stage! Yue Yao is personally overseeing the Moonlit Shuttle, as is Yue Wuhen, and there are also several Nascent Soul stage cultivators!"
"The sect's protective formation can only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn! Once the spatial barrier is completely breached, they can directly enter our independent space! At that time..."
That would be a true catastrophe!
With its foundation exposed, the Wan Chuan Sect has no way out and must face a direct assault from two or more Nascent Soul experts and a large number of high-level cultivators!
“One incense stick…” Mingchuan’s eyes flickered rapidly.
He had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and then presided over a hundred days of tempering, which consumed a great deal of energy, leaving him with less than half of his peak combat strength.
Master Lingxu's injuries have not yet healed.
Although the four sect leaders had touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage, they had not yet truly broken through.
A direct confrontation would be a losing battle...
But sitting idly by and waiting to die is even less likely!
"Jinman, activate the Star Shift contingency plan!" Mingchuan said decisively.
"Star Shift?" Jin Man was taken aback, then shocked. "You want to forcibly relocate the entire sect space? No way! That requires a massive amount of energy and stable external coordinates. Right now, the outside is blocked, and the space is in complete chaos. Forcibly relocating would be like throwing ourselves into a spatial storm! Moreover, the sect's foundation might be damaged!"
“It’s not a complete migration!” Mingchuan quickly explained, “It’s a short-range, non-directional spatial jump! Utilizing the energy released at the end of the sect’s protective array, combined with my control over the laws of space, and… the Star Pivot Token!”
He looked at the dormant token in his hand, his eyes burning with fervor: "It caused such a commotion just now, there must still be powerful stellar and order forces remaining inside! Although it is dormant, it can serve as an anchor and buffer for stable leaps!"
"We don't need to jump very far. As long as we can break free from their current lock-on and encirclement and enter deeper or more chaotic void gaps, we can buy ourselves some breathing time!"
