Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: Gathering of Heroes
"This treasure is called the Nine Heavens Star Formation!" Sect Leader He from the Lingying Sect spoke indifferently, causing everyone’s spirits to lift.
He continued, "This formation is an ancient sect protection array passed down from a powerful sect in the Ancient Times. Although the array plate has suffered damage over time, it remains incredibly formidable!"
"Sect Leader He, could you elaborate a bit more? What’s so marvelous about this array?" Dan Xuan couldn’t help but ask.
"This array, at its peak, can slay Divinity Transformation cultivators!" Sect Leader He declared with deliberate emphasis.
Everyone was too shocked to speak.
A formation that could slay Divinity Transformation cultivators?!
The Divinity Transformation Realm is unfathomable.
Yet this array can slay those in the Divinity Transformation Realm!
It’s truly unbelievable.
Sect Leader He supplemented, "At its peak."
Sect Leader Chong couldn’t help but ask, "What about now?"
Sect Leader He shook his head, "This array has been painstakingly researched by us over the years. Originally, it combined both offensive and defensive functions, but now, due to wear on the array plate, only the defensive function remains. However, even in its current state, the array can withstand attacks from several Nascent Soul experts!"
Sect Leader He pursed his lips, looking at the surrounding eyes filled with inquiry, and said calmly, "Because this array was created based on the circulation of celestial bodies, it can redirect external attacks using the same circulation pattern. Originally, it was a massive killing weapon when combined with the offensive aspects, but now it remains powerful even as a defensive array."
"Furthermore, after being set up, it can autonomously absorb Star Power, which in turn can mobilize endless Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, requiring no external assistance!"
Sect Leader He unexpectedly revealed another bombshell, and the sense of anticipation climbed onto everyone’s faces once again.
"With this array, we can rest easy!" Dan Xuan sighed deeply.
Although our own treasures are strong, in this sort of war akin to racial strife, they are essentially useless.
"But can this array defend against that all-pervading Evil Qi?" Yang Yan didn’t relax like the others and quickly questioned.
As the Alliance Leader, he must consider all aspects.
Otherwise, a single oversight could cause the loss of tens of thousands of disciples, a result he absolutely cannot accept.
"No problem!" Sect Leader He laughed, "This array can not only defend physical items, but even spiritual qi, air, and other toxins can be entirely blocked by the Starlight Power."
"If feasible, we can lure the Evil Qi into the array and then use the power of the great formation to trap it, ensuring the Evil Qi cannot break through the confinement, and even annihilate the evil on the spot!"
"Good!" Yang Yan rejoiced, "Then please quickly retrieve the array plate for our Wandering Dragon Alliance’s protection array!"
Yang Yan, having long held a high position on Earth, as the previously uncompromising Moonlight Emperor, only now truly exudes the presence of a superior.
His words not only convinced everyone entirely but also resembled steel-clad laws, with no one able to feel any resentment upon hearing them.
In this critical moment of life and death, such a strong leader is indeed necessary.
Without this, people would worry about Yang Yan’s capability.
"Understood!" Sect Leader He affirmed loudly.
Yang Yan stood up and walked outside, looking into the distance, "Evil Spirits, the battle is imminent! I am ready, are you?"
The sect leaders followed, watching Yang Yan’s departing figure under the light, as if seeing a Celestial God, standing between heaven and earth!
Ten days later, Yang Yan stood by the water, watching as the gentle breeze stirred ripples on the surface, his thoughts wandering far.
During this breakthrough process, he survived the ordeal, rebuilt after destruction, having gained so much!
His body, re-forged by countless tribulations, feels as though it possesses inexhaustible strength. His meridians are now exceptionally thick, several times what they were!
At his Dantian, a dark-colored Golden Core spins, occasionally flashing with strands of the Power of Space, making it even more mysterious and unpredictable.
Additionally, this body seems to hold countless potential waiting for him to uncover.
"Alliance Leader, heroes from various factions are waiting in the hall," a disciple approached, saying to Yang Yan.
Yang Yan’s eyes suddenly opened, two Divine Patterns intertwined before him, then fiercely shot out.
"Bang!" A burst of water erupted on the surface, with a water column surging skyward, the previously calm water surface rolled into towering waves.
Yang Yan slowly exhaled impure air, revealing a joyful expression.
His cultivation at the Golden Core Realm is now completely stable; his combat power has undoubtedly increased manifold!
"Let’s go, follow me to meet the various heroes!" Yang Yan laughed aloud, heading outside under the disciples’ amazed gazes.
Even before entering the hall, there were countless well-cultivated cultivators gathered there.
Yang Yan walked into the crowd and saw Lin An speaking to everyone, "I, Lin, am deeply grateful to the heroes and formidable beings and all the ten sects’ powerhouses for setting aside differences and gathering at our Ancient Abyss Sect."
"The purpose of our sect’s broad invitation to heroes is well known to all of you, namely to gather all the strong individuals on Wandering Dragon Star to jointly resist the invasion of the Evil Spirits. Everyone has righteously assisted in the face of this great cause; I am deeply grateful, please accept my bow!"
At this, everyone hurriedly replied, "This is a duty for us people of Wandering Dragon Star, Sect Leader Lin, no need for courtesy."
"Good, if that’s the case, then I’ll present the plan we’ve discussed in the Wandering Dragon Alliance," Lin An said.
Everyone promptly responded, "Sect Leader Lin, please go ahead; we will do our utmost to comply."
Upon receiving the disciples’ report, learning that Yang Yan had arrived, Lin An said to everyone, "Then I will ask our sect’s Saint Son to explain our plan."
Yang Yan, upon hearing this, flew out from amongst the crowd, landing beside Lin An and said, "The situation is urgent, so I will be brief."
The ten sects’ individuals and various heroes and powerhouses all said in unison, "Saint Son, please speak."
Yang Yan said, "Our alliance’s plan is for me to lure Xu Caomu’s Evil Spirit into the Ancient Abyss Sect, where all of you will then unite to unleash the formation’s power to subdue the Evil Spirit."
Upon hearing this, everyone started murmuring amongst themselves, showing serious expressions.
Seeing this situation, Yang Yan and Lin An exchanged quick smiles and glanced at each other swiftly.
Soon, Yang Yan regained his composure and shouted to the crowd, "What concerns do you have?"
At this moment, a robust middle-aged man with a long scar across his right cheek and sharp eyes, emitting a formidable aura, stepped out from the crowd. Clearly, he was no easy entity to deal with, likely a Golden Core Realm powerhouse.
He glowered, addressing Yang Yan with anger, "You’re sending us to our deaths! Who among us here is unaware of the terror of the Evil Spirit? You’re bringing it into the Ancient Abyss Sect, planning to use a formation of unknown strength to subdue it. Isn’t this pure fantasy?! Humph! Yang Yan, are you treating us like three-year-old children?"
