Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 422 – Distress

The more they discussed, the more unsightly their expressions became, as if it was difficult to make a decision. Yan Qinxi, who was waiting at the side, became agitated, and asked loudly: “Just what happened, can you give me a good speech, can you break this restriction?”

The three of them looked at Yan Qinxi at the same time, and in the end, Yang Junshan glanced at Lu Jing and said: “Senior Lu, it’s better if you tell her.”

Lu Jing nodded his head, and said: “Right now, we have two methods of breaking through the fourth barrier of light. One is to borrow the power of the formation to weaken the barrier of light, and then use the power of the crowd to break it.

Yan Qinxi was puzzled: “Why don’t you use the first method? Weren’t you always using this method before?”

Lu Jing glanced at Yang Junshan, and said: “Because little friend Yang, you think that if you were to forcefully break through the fourth layer of light curtain, there is a certain probability of backlash from the forbidden array.”

Everyone was startled, but Ning Bin asked: “Then what about the second method? If that’s the case, then why not use the second method? ”

Ning Qing smiled bitterly and said, “The second method takes too long and requires us three array masters to use our spiritual power to resist the light barrier. This way, we can weaken it and ultimately break the restriction.”

“How long would that take?”

Lu Jing said helplessly: “About seven days and seven nights!”

“That long?” Yan Qinxi’s tone showed that she was unwilling to wait.

Lu Jing helplessly spread his palms, and said: “This is not even a question of how long it will take, more importantly, whether the three of us formation masters can hold on for so long, I believe that I can only hold on for a day and a night, Fellow Daoist Ning, I think that is about the same, even with your great cultivation, you being able to hold on for two days and two nights is pretty good, but after four days, you only have three days worth of time to recover, which is very easy to use. Even with the help of the Spirit Elixir, it is already very difficult to recover one third of your spiritual energy in three days.”

Ning Qing also said, “The most worrisome thing is that seven days and seven nights is just the estimated time the three of us have calculated. If we manage to endure for much longer and still fail to break through when the time comes, then it would be a complete waste of time.”

“Even if we broke it, the three of us would probably be exhausted. If we want to break the next restriction, we would need at least a few days to recover. By then, it would still be a waste of time.”

“We three can only do this, the rest of you do not understand the way of formations, if you attack rashly, you might cause a backlash from the forbidden array.”

Yan Qinxi’s eyes turned to Yang Junshan, and said: “Will it really cause a backlash from the forbidden array?”

The expression on Yang Junshan’s face was also somewhat uncertain, and he said: “I only said it’s possible, the reason why I used the second method, is also to ensure safety, just in case!”

Yan Qinxi laughed heartily and said, “When the first three layers of the barrier were broken, wasn’t it at the risk of the formation’s backlash? How come when you obtained the fourth layer of the barrier, you are actually worried about the backlash from the formation?”

Yang Junshan “Hehe” laughed, but he did not know how to reply. In his previous life, this tunnel did not cause any backlash from the forbidden array when this barrier was forcefully broken through three levels in a row, and the difficulty of breaking it was not too different from breaking it. However, he was not too sure if the backlash was caused after the fourth layer of the barrier of light.

“At this point, we still have to gamble. Breaking the restriction isn’t only limited to you three formation masters!”

Yan Qinxi was still as decisive as ever. When other people were hesitating, her decision, regardless of whether they were right or wrong, would at least have a decisive effect. Of course, it wasn’t always the wrong time, but most of the time, it was always right.

Then let’s take a gamble. If we use the second method, even if we are lucky enough to succeed, we might need to spend another half a month to rest.

Ning Bin’s words seemed to be warning Yang Junshan, causing him to be stunned for a moment. He subconsciously nodded his head, but he still warned everyone, “Everyone should prepare for the worst, once the formation’s backlash is triggered, remember to use your own sacred art to protect yourself. If the backlash is too large, you’ll have to leave the formation first.”

When they had broken through the formation three times together, everyone had already come tacit understanding with each other. They easily and familiarly shot twice at the same time, very quickly opening a path on the light screen. However, because the fourth layer of light was far more durable than the first three layers, this passage appeared to be slightly smaller, and it was even quickly closing up.

“Again!” Lu Jing bellowed, and upon hearing that, everyone gathered their spirit force to condense the technique.

Yang Junshan’s heart suddenly palpitated, he felt that something was amiss. When he saw that everyone was about to attack for the third time, he immediately shouted, “Other than Perfection of the cultivator, don’t attack!”

The two formation masters had already noticed that something was amiss. It was extremely difficult to grasp the timing when multiple people used all their abilities to shoot at the same time. Since the barrier had already been broken, if they were to use all their strength, it was very likely that they would be able to exceed the limits of what the forbidden array could endure.

“Quick! Disperse all divine abilities below the great circle!” Lu Jing and Ning Qing also warned him in a hurry, and at the same time, ignored the backlash and dispelled the sacred art that had been condensed in their bodies.

A few late stage martial arts realm cultivators anxiously dispelled the energy in their bodies, and Su Baozhang and Jiu Li, because of the backlash, felt their internal organs shake, and each of them spat out a mouthful of blood.

Only Yang Junping turned around and rushed towards the third curtain of light that had returned to its original state.

The divine powers of the five Perfection of the cultivator s, under the guidance of Yang Junshan’s spirit of breaking mountain, widened the passage for the fourth curtain of light in one go. But at this moment, a series of rumbling sounds came from afar, and gathered towards them from all directions.

“Grand Formation Interlinked Backlash!”

Yang Junshan roared out in shock, and said to the people who were already stunned: “Quick, move closer to me!”

Everyone was stunned by the sudden change in the forbidden array. Hearing Yang Junshan’s loud shout, they all subconsciously ran towards him.

“They are all using their most powerful defensive techniques. Now, everyone can only help out with everything they have. Only then will they be able to get past this hurdle!”

There was no need for Yang Junshan to say anything at this time, as everyone began to simultaneously prepare their strongest techniques, preparing for the backlash that would follow with the forbidden array.

Yang Junshan commanded his men to continuously retreat, and to firmly lean in front of the third barrier of light. This barrier of light did not match the outside, and it was extremely difficult to move from the outside to the outside, but it was extremely easy to move from the inside. When Yang Junping’s divine ability reached this point, it reminded him that if he was unable to block it, he would retreat from here.

These layers of forbidden array’s light barrier were connected to each other, and once a backlash was triggered, the surrounding restrictions would transfer the power of the formation array to the place where the backlash was triggered, triggering the collapse of the formation array. Countless fragments of the formation array would form densely packed light blades that scattered in all directions.

Seeing that, Ning Bin took oualisman from his sleeves, a golden light shone out, unexpectedly forming the image of a mountain above everyone’s head, the light screen then dropped down, enveloping everyone within.

Immovable Mountain Spirit Symbol!

Countless light blades made “crackling sounds” continuously slashed at the light barrier, causing the illusion of the mountain peak above Ning Bin’s head to crumble.

Some of the light blades shattered and dissipated into spiritual energy upon contact with the barrier, while others flew back into the barrier before condensing back into blades of light and slashing out again.

“Quick, everyone else can try to destroy those light blades as much as possible. One Guardian Soul Symbol can’t hold on for too long!”

Yang Junshan warned loudly. At the same time, he gathered spirit force in his hands and pointed out with ten fingers, every finger was able to break down a light blade and then dissipate the spirit energy, in the blink of an eye, dozens of light blades disappeared. It was his long-awaited technique, Shattered Stone Finger.

Yan Qinxi also did not want to be outdone. The Grand White Gold Dagger in her hand trembled, and slashed out tens of beams of light randomly, with even more blades of light being destroyed than Yang Junshan. This move was a spell and ability created by the Grand White Golden Light Slash, and was called the “Chaotic Blade”.

However, although Yan Qinxi’s “Chaotic Blade” was sharp, it was not as effective as Yang Junshan’s Shattered Rock Finger, who used it continuously. This way, Yang Junshan would be the one to be more efficient.

The others also used their own methods to destroy the light blades. However, behind the third light screen, there were many light blades like locusts. Everyone tried their best to resist, but the light blades still showed no signs of stopping.

“The spirit talisman is about to break!” Ning Bin hurriedly reminded.

“I’ll do it!”

Yan Zhong took a step forward, his hands congealing in front of his chest, causing a ball of golden light to quickly spin. After that, he opened his mouth, and the ball of golden light quickly expanded into a light barrier, enveloping the eleven people inside.

Guardian Spirit Technique: Golden Light Barrier, in the hands of Yan Zhong, a cultivator who had been immersed in the Great Perfection Stage for many years, it was indeed extraordinary.

One must know that the Art of Immovable Mountain Spirit Art’s sacred art was ranked above the Golden Light Barrier. Although Ning Bin had only used a spirit rune, it was still possible to tell how profound Yan Zhong’s cultivation was.

After using two Divine Guardian Channels in a row, the blades of light that shot out in all directions were finally able to see that they had weakened a bit. However, this was enough to greatly boost everyone’s confidence.

Lu Jing also activated his Golden Barrier Spirit Art following behind Yan Zhong, but under the situation where his blades of light were starting to weaken, he was still only able to hold on for half of Yan Zhong’s time.
