The six Three Flowers Realm Great Perfection beings from Outer Heaven did not dare to go all out against Xuan Yuezi, afraid that they might be killed by her here. After all, at their level, as long as there is ample Spiritual Energy, they can achieve immortality, and feeling apprehensive when facing enemies of the same level is normal. Therefore, they wanted to invite more companions so that with an overwhelming number advantage, they could easily capture Xuan Yuezi and obtain the Cross-border Technique. But Xuan Yuezi had already used Immortal Crane Communication. As long as Li Yi came to support her, the two of them together would be unstoppable against these six Great Perfection individuals, and defeat would be inevitable for them. However, maintaining this stalemate was greatly depleting her own resources. This barren land was voraciously plundering the Spiritual Energy from these Great Perfection Cultivators, and this plundering from the land was unstoppable. The only thing you could do was seal your own energy to slow the plundering speed. But at this moment, no one dared to seal their Mana, otherwise, if attacked by the opponent, they would surely die. "This Xuan Yuezi wants to drain us through attrition. It seems she has something to restore Mana; otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to do this," Tianyunzi said with an indifferent expression, transmitting a message to the other five companions. "I can tell, and it’s lucky for us that we’re in greater numbers. Otherwise, Xuan Yuezi would have already attacked. She alone isn’t confident in facing us six in one go, and if there were even one or two fewer among us, Xuan Yuezi might have slaughtered her way out by force," said Jiang Chengzi, the ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect, also transmitting his response. "How much longer until other companions come to aid us? Continuing to stalemate is not a solution. The End of Dharma World is too merciless in its plundering of our Spiritual Energy, we can’t withstand it. Countless Cultivation Experts perished here before. If we keep wearing ourselves down with Xuan Yuezi, the risk is too great, and something might go wrong," said an ancestor from another sect anxiously. Stalling here isn’t just about depleting Mana; it’s betting one’s life. If you can’t secure the Cross-border Technique, even returning to Outer Heaven will leave you half-dead. "In the End of Dharma era, how do you escape the shackles of this world if you don’t gamble?" Jiang Chengzi snorted coldly, "The Spiritual Energy in Outer Heaven is already very sparse. Without finding a good way out, all the hidden Great Perfection Cultivators in Outer Heaven will perish. Hoping to last until the revival of Spiritual Energy is just impossible." "Currently, the Cross-border Technique on Xuan Yuezi is the only lifeline. Miss this chance, and you might never encounter it again in your lifetime. If you don’t fight now, then when? Wait until your Spiritual Energy dries up and the Three Flowers wither, nearing collapse?" "Your words make sense," Tianyunzi agreed. The other Great Perfection Cultivators understood this logic too, but when facing Xuan Yuezi, they lacked confidence and couldn’t help but feel like retreating. Moreover, the cost of stalling in this Dharma Decline World was too high. "These old folks are risking collapse to consume me?" Xuan Yuezi was ready and prepared, but she didn’t expect the six of them to be so patient and still not make a move, making her realize that something might be wrong. Perhaps these old folks were also waiting for reinforcements. The powerful Cultivators who had fled to Outer Heaven were not limited to just these few. If the cross-realm affair drew dozens of Great Perfection powerhouses, that would be troublesome. Even with her immense power and Mana, she couldn’t fight against so many. The Treasure Moon Disc beside her couldn’t help but hum and vibrate, emitting strands of murderous intent. The power of this artifact had previously startled the hearts of these six Great Perfection Cultivators. If it weren’t for this Demon King Weapon, they wouldn’t have been so curled up in facing Xuan Yuezi. If the power of this treasure were fully unleashed, even a Great Perfection being would bleed, unless Xuan Yuezi was exceptionally unlucky and got cut down by her. "Xuan Yuezi is still young and impetuous. Is she already unable to resist taking action? Or has she guessed our intentions? This isn’t good. In her current state, along with that Divine Weapon, she could certainly drag at least three or four of us along with her. But fortunately, it’s Xuan Yuezi we’re facing. If it were Xiang Xiangzi, we wouldn’t even have a chance for a standoff," As the ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Jiang Chengzi couldn’t help but feel tense. Having once been a guide to the Seven Immortals of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Jiang Chengzi had been quite attentive, given that the Seven Immortals were seeds for Great Perfection. He had even given them Daoist advice, so he had some understanding of each Immortal’s character. "As the master ancestor of the Heavenly Dao Sect, unable to even discipline disciples—how humiliating. If this cross-realm opportunity fell into the hands of our Tianyi Sect, such betrayal and treachery would never happen," Tianyunzi said with some dissatisfaction. "Is this really the time to discuss this? Wait a minute..." Jiang Chengzi said, then suddenly sensed something and looked sharply towards the distant sky. The other Great Perfection level Cultivators also sensed something amiss and looked in the same direction. Something was approaching at incredible speed. A stream of red-gold light streaked across the sky, and an Immortal Dao Battleship appeared out of nowhere, descending into this land. Its appearance broke the heavy atmosphere and drew everyone’s attention. Upon seeing this, Xuan Yuezi was instantly overjoyed. Reinforcements had arrived. Indeed, in terms of reinforcement speed, Taiyi was faster. In crucial moments, he could be counted on, never disappointing. But upon seeing the Immortal Dao Battleship, everyone else’s faces turned dark. This peculiar flying device clearly did not belong to this world, so the identity of the arrival was beyond doubt. "So, this is it. Who would have thought that in this Dharma Decline World, there would still be so many powerful experts with intact Mana. Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and Five Qi Chaoyuan—wonderful, wonderful, all Great Perfection existences." A robust, sonorous voice resonated, akin to the sound of a dragon and tiger. As the battleship’s door opened, a majestic figure strode forth on Xiangyun, appearing in everyone’s sight. With just a mere hint of power spilling over, the clouds beneath him burst into countless silver streaks of lightning, transforming a white sea of clouds into a silver sea of thunder in an instant. Its power was like a prison, striking fear into hearts. "This fellow is also a cultivator, showing traces of Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing, Cloud Riding...but his aura is truly terrifying," Jiang Chengzi, Tianyunzi, and the other four Great Perfection cultivators watched Li Yi with serious expressions. Also, by just the aura, it could be concluded that his combat strength was extraordinary, as if he was not born for cultivation, but for fierce battles, possessing a compelling, invincible momentum. Jiang Chengzi shouted, "Today’s affair doesn’t concern you, outsider. Stay out of it. I advise you to leave quickly, lest you lose your life. Numerous Great Perfection level friends from Outer Heaven are on their way here. Consider the gravity, and make a wise decision." With such a change, they couldn’t be bothered to continue facing off against Xuan Yuezi. If they couldn’t drive this person away, everything would be over. But at this critical juncture, retreating wasn’t an option either, lest their first move end with them being attacked by the two. No one dared bet on whether they’d be overlooked. Thus, intimidating the newcomer was very necessary. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵 "Who am I?" Li Yi sneered coldly, "Xuan Yuezi calls me Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, who do you think I am?" Taiyi Heavenly Venerate? This person is actually bestowed with the title of Heavenly Venerate? "Do the strongmen of the Otherworld dare to call themselves Heavenly Venerate? Are you truly mocking my Tao Court as being empty-handed?" Tianyunzi suddenly roared, his voice growing from soft to loud, enveloping the sky, even overpowering the rolling thunderous sound. "Big and Small Ruyi Skill?" Li Yi stared at the person, "What is your relation to the Tianyi Sect?" "I am the ancestor of the Tianyi Sect, with the Dao name Tianyunzi." He declared his title quite arrogantly. Li Yi said, "Back when I eradicated the Tianyi Sect, you didn’t show up. Who knows where you hid to struggle for survival, and today, as one of the lucky few, you dare to appear? Less nonsense, watch me slay you." With one grasp of his hand, a long spear carved from Divine Jade appeared in his hand. The mana of one hundred and five acupoints moved in unison, and the power of the Demon King Weapon burst forth, with a terrifying murderous intent spreading to engulf the skies, as if threatening to collapse this world. The Demon King Weapon destroyed everything, cutting out a streak of Divine Light, instantly enveloping the six Cultivation Experts in the Great Perfection Realm. Jiang Chengzi, Tianyunzi, and several other Cultivation Experts in the Great Perfection Realm shouted furiously, utterly surprised that this guy, known as Taiyi Heavenly Venerate, regarded them as nothing. "Dividing River into Land." "Flipping Rivers and Seas." "Call the Wind and Summon the Rain." The six Great Perfection Realm experts shouted curses, but the strike from Li Yi was indeed terrifying. If it were any one of them, they couldn’t withstand it; one strike could be fatal. So they had to join forces against the enemy, hoping to push him back and buy more time, thus holding nothing back and unleashing their most powerful strike. Upon striking with Dividing River into Land, Jiang Chengzi’s face suddenly changed as his attack had merely torn open that Divine Light to a distance of less than a hundred meters before abruptly stopping. The remaining force was like a wave rolling over, nearly engulfing him. "How is this person’s mana so abundant?" Jiang Chengzi exclaimed in surprise, realizing something was amiss. The other Great Perfection Daoist friends also realized this through the exchange, becoming instantly stunned. The opponent’s mana was unbelievably immense, making the original strike overwhelmingly terrifying. Joining forces of the six wouldn’t just repel the opponent; merely surviving was commendable. "Cursing this End of Dharma era, if not for the lack of peak state, how would we suffer humiliation from people of the outside world?" They felt anger inside but dared not be arrogant anymore; they gathered together, relying on each other’s strength to wear down this strike from the opponent. However, the battle opportunity created by Li Yi was so perfect, Xuan Yuezi couldn’t miss it. Above the Ninth Heaven, a round moonlight shone. At this moment, the Demon King Weapon in Xuan Yuezi’s hand erupted with equally terrifying power, a strike falling from the sky, directly targeting several people. "Xuan Yuezi, you actually ambush us, fellow Daoists, do not hold back, or everyone will perish here." Seeing this, Jiang Chengzi and Tianyunzi could only roar with gritted teeth, a Mana Flower burning above their heads, as crystalline leaves began to fall, signaling their drop from the Great Perfection Realm to the Tri-Floral Realm. But for a short time, they could erupt with strength comparable to peak state. It’s a desperate measure, not used unless in life-and-death crisis. The power of two Demon King Weapons interwove, six Great Perfection burning Tao Flower, striking once again at their peak, with the collision of power tearing the void, shaking heaven and earth, even causing the ground beneath to tremble violently. Luckily it’s in the high sky; if it fell on the ground, it would permanently alter the terrain of a continent, possibly causing apocalyptic natural disasters. Amidst the tumultuous remaining force. Six embarrassed figures stumbled out; though their lives were unharmed, they all carried injuries, their Daoist robes torn, faces dulled and miserable, having suffered from the release of two Demon King Weapons, the power was simply terrifying. Moreover, in a one-on-one situation, even in peak state, they’d be cut down, and now joining forces could withstand these two strikes and survive safely was already quite good. "Taiyi, they just burned the Tao Flower, exchanging for peak strength, but the realm and mana will rapidly decline," Xuan Yuezi said immediately as he saw the scene. "Drinking poison to quench thirst. Without the Great Perfection Realm, death comes even faster. Immortal, help me oversee the battle, I’ll kill these few." Li Yi’s cold gaze swept, he stirred his foot, holding the Divine Jade Spear, killing out instantly. Xuan Yuezi was not used to combat, but he was different; since embarking on cultivation, he fought countless battles along the way, even with the confidence to win one against six. After all, as an Evolver practicing multiple skills, fighting within the same realm is the least fearsome.
