Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1775: Chapter 955: Invincibility Is So Lonely (Part 2)

Master Jiu Jie explained his plan in detail to Zhao Sheng.

His plan was very simple, to have the eight guardians join forces to resist foreign enemies.

As soon as someone steps into the ancient array, the eight will immediately join forces and use the most ruthless means to kill the intruders, thereby deterring others.

To speak truthfully, Master Jiu Jie’s plan is not surprising at all.

Zhao Sheng believed that over billions of years, countless guardians must have proposed the exact same plan.

The result need not be guessed, it must be that many succeed, few fail. Because it is the simplest, most straightforward, and highly effective.

Once Zhao Sheng understood, he decisively agreed: “Master’s suggestion is excellent, I completely agree. Just not sure about other fellow Daoists’ opinions?”

Master Jiu Jie was overjoyed and immediately transmitted back: “With the nod from Mixed Element Daoist, the other fellow Daoists absolutely have no objections.”

Zhao Sheng realized that others had communicated in advance and finally notified him.

If he did not agree, at that time he might face the combined attack of seven.

After one breath, the Divine Thought quietly withdrew, and Zhao Sheng suddenly began to ponder.

“Join forces? Attack? Or other threats? Ha ha, no matter how cunning as a fox you are, I will break it with one force!”

…

The quantity of Immortal Qi gushing out from underground varied each year, averaging about four to five wisps.

Since entering No Return Heaven twenty-eight years ago, after calculating carefully, he has refined a total of one hundred forty-one wisps of Immortal Qi.

Today, he feels his strength has increased by nearly twenty percent, and the Desired Size Battle Body unwittingly advanced into a new realm.

Zhao Sheng has not exerted his full strength for a long time and is very curious to try what kind of mighty power the Ruyi Battle Body holds when deployed to the extreme.

“Soon, soon. Three more years…” He looked back at the verses on the pillar, saw the writing already blurred, and couldn’t help thinking secretly.

When the inscription on the Heaven-Reaching Pillar completely fades, the Ascension Ancient Array will officially commence.

Time, like sand held in hand, the tighter you grip, the faster it slips away!

There is one year left until the Ascension Ancient Array activates, the third decade arrives ahead of schedule.

Beneath the Heaven-Reaching Pillar, Master Jiu Jie watched Zhao Sheng walk over, and for a moment, he lost his composure: “Mixed Element Daoist, what is this…?”

“Greetings, Master. The ten-year period has come again, I am here to seek guidance from Master.” Zhao Sheng’s attitude was warm and courteous, a figure of politeness.

Master Jiu Jie clasped his hands: “Amitabha Buddha! The old monk is aged and feeble, certainly not the opponent of Mixed Element Daoist.”

Having spoken, the old monk removed the Phoenix Blood Stone, skillfully tossing it over.

Zhao Sheng caught the Phoenix Blood Stone, even more adeptly extracting the Immortal Qi, then absorbing it.

After returning the Phoenix Blood Stone, he didn’t engage in idle chatter and promptly rushed to the next “harvesting point.”

The other guardians were very understanding and voluntarily offered Immortal Qi without requiring him to act.

Half a day later, Zhao Sheng leisurely returned to the station to continue refining Immortal Qi.

A year flew by in the blink of an eye.

Just as the inscription on the Heaven-Reaching Pillar was nearing disappearance, the number of wanderers around the Ascension Ancient Array increased day by day.

There were some bold individuals who dared to spy from afar on where Zhao Sheng was, clearly with ill intentions.

Ten days ago, Zhao Sheng, Jiu Jie, Tian Nan, and other eight guardians had already started to prepare, always guarding against gang attacks by wanderers.

As time got closer, everyone began communicating frequently and sharing their information.

Upon compiling all info, Jiu Jie and others immediately realized that the situation they faced was worse than imagined.

The number of wanderers already exceeded seventy, assembling themselves into various groups large and small. Among them, there are surprisingly three large groups with more than five members.

These large groups pose the greatest threat to the Defender Alliance.

If five people simultaneously “focused fire” on one person, except for Zhao Sheng, there wouldn’t be more than two in the alliance who could escape unscathed.

The situation is so severe, forcing Jiu Jie and others to huddle more closely for survival.

Half a month later, the eight Heaven-Reaching Pillars suddenly radiated brightly, and intricate patterns quickly emerged on the ancient array ground.

Silver-white radiance cascaded down from the giant pillars, drowning the ground in no time.

In a blink, a silver-white light column spanning thousands of yards soared into the sky, instantly vanishing into the depths of the void, seemingly connected to somewhere.

The silver-white giant pillar connects heaven and earth, its grandeur is magnificent. Even in the remotest corner of Honghuang Continent, it can be seen.

At the moment Zhao Sheng stepped into the light column, numerous tunneling lights shot from all directions, swift as lightning.

In a flash, three tunneling lights had already entered the ancient array, but before they could stabilize, a large crystalline flawless fist appeared from nowhere before them.

Boom, boom, boom!

In the next moment, the three flowing lights flew out backward even faster, each wrapped in a mass of flesh and bones.

Zhao Sheng slowly retracted his right hand, the fist still enveloped with wisps of electric light, causing evident distortion within three feet around him in the void.

With the opening of the Ruyi Battle Body, his combat power soared several-fold, reaching the level of transformation from quantitative change to qualitative change.

At this moment, his combat power was so strong, far exceeding the power extremity of Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerable, perhaps enough to challenge a True Immortal.

At this time, a bald, one-eyed Giant Clan Venerable happened to witness everything that had just occurred, shockingly turned and fled without any hesitation.

At this moment, Master Jiu Jie and other guardians had already met other intruders.

The first ones in were loners. They soon found themselves beaten, fleeing in disgrace. Two “unlucky devils” were blasted apart, perishing on the spot.

Several Tribulation Crossing Venerables perished on the scene, instantly scaring away wanderers with inadequate strength.

At least fifty percent of the Venerables immediately chose to withdraw, continuing to patiently await the next opportunity.

One of the large groups even disbanded on the spot, each going their own way.

The remaining two vaguely merged together, slowly approaching the Ascension Ancient Array.

Since ancient times, the higher the realm of cultivators, the more they cherish their lives.

The cultivators who dare to come to No Return Heaven have a minimum strength of Unification Realm and above.

While today, appearing here are all Tribulation Crossing Realm Venerables, Unification Realm small cultivators dare not approach here, not even a step.

Zhao Sheng clearly understands that other Great Venerables are merely avatars, no one dares to step into Honghuang Continent in their original form like him.

Therefore, he acts without hesitation.

Unfortunately, among those present, no one is foolish. Seeing him punch three Same Realm Great Venerables to pieces, they’re instantly frightened away, not daring to provoke this “God of Slaughter.”

In a blink, an empty space opened around Zhao Sheng, occupying nearly a third of the ancient array space.

Seeing no one daring to approach, Zhao Sheng felt immensely bored, the surging battle intent vanishing in an instant.

At this moment, he deeply realized: How lonely is invincibility!

“Mixed Element Daoist, come quickly to aid us…”

“Mixed Element Daoist, why not act?”

“Mixed Element, if you stand by and watch. When we fail, you also won’t be able to hold alone!”

The seven guardians were extremely anxious, urging Zhao Sheng to intervene.

However, he remained indifferent, continuing to watch as if on the sidelines.

Hundreds of yards away, Master Jiu Jie was simultaneously besieged by two, barely able to sustain for a while, but when the Protective Buddha Realm was shattered.

He had to flee awkwardly to outside the array.

The old monk’s Life Span is short, how could he wait for the next activation of the ancient array.

Suddenly, in desperation, he quickly became smart, immediately sending a transmission to Zhao Sheng: “Mixed Element Daoist, if you help the old monk ascend to the second layer of heaven. The old monk will surely offer thirty wisps of Immortal Qi afterward!”

Upon hearing these words, Zhao Sheng’s expression changed, and he immediately decided differently.

“Master, don’t worry, I promise I’ll keep you alive!”

His action speed was swifter than Divine Thought, not even allowing Master Jiu Jie to hear the echo.

A black giant palm as heavy as a mountain, incredibly real, descended from the sky, resembling a legendary hand technique!

Ten Thousand Buddhas… Mixed Element Qi Hand Seal, break!

Boom——

The black giant palm heavily slapped onto the ground, pure Power of Destruction instantly enveloped everything within a hundred yards radius.

All tangible and intangible, even the most substantial Primordial Yang Level flying sword, all transformed into nothing in an instant.
