Primordial Era: The Way of the Three Lights and Stars

Chapter 80: Attacking Mount Sumeru

Originally only a mid-stage Great Luo cultivator, Jin Ling's aura rose steadily under the blessing of the Zhou Tian Star Array, temporarily gaining power comparable to a Quasi-Saint.

She drew her flying golden sword and casually slashed down with it.

As the flying golden sword fell, its ten-thousand-foot sword light slashed straight down towards the golden light array. Although this sword was only a test, its incomparably sharp Gengjin sword energy was still terrifying.

The power of this sword far surpasses that of a Great Luo Immortal; only a Quasi-Saint can withstand it.

"Royal."

Within the formation, the apothecary roared, and the disciples from all sides moved in response, causing the formation to change. The golden light, which was originally just mist, now solidified and transformed into a golden light shield.

"Rumble..."

The golden array connected to the earth, and as the sword light fell, the earth trembled, as if the entire west was shaken by Jin Ling's sword.

In reality, this sword strike was ineffective.

The power of the Gengjin sword light was completely transferred to the earth by the golden light array. Let alone a casual strike, even if it was a full-force attack, how could a quasi-saint shake the primordial earth?

Jin Ling was not surprised by this.

Her attack was meant to test the waters. If she couldn't even block this one sword strike, then the pharmacist and the others might as well wash their necks and let them chop them off.

"Gather".

Having made up her mind, Jin Ling raised the Flying Golden Sword high and gave a command. Countless stellar powers surged towards her and condensed on the Flying Golden Sword.

Before the sword even fell, its terrifying aura swept outwards, sending chills down everyone's spines.

Not to mention Xuandu, Duobao and others, even Wei Guang, without using his spiritual treasure, was not confident that he could withstand Jin Ling's sword.

The Western Sect disciples in the formation also looked solemn, glancing sideways at the Pharmacist and waiting for his orders.

"attack."

In a split second, the pharmacist made his decision.

Although the formation was excellent, their cultivation was too weak to unleash its true power. They might not be able to withstand the sword strike with just defense.

The best defense is often offense.

Since we can't defend against it, we should use offense as defense. As long as we break through the opponent's sword, we can consider it as having blocked it.

Upon hearing the sound, the disciples immediately shifted their positions and changed their formation. The protective barrier dissipated, and golden mist filled the air. A Buddha figure, hundreds of feet tall and entirely composed of golden mist, appeared on Mount Sumeru.

The golden Buddha slowly opened its eyes and its gaze fell on Jin Ling.

In that instant, Jin Ling felt her whole body stiffen, and the sword momentum she had painstakingly gathered almost collapsed. Fortunately, at the critical moment, she calmed her mind and stabilized her sword momentum.

"open."

With a delicate shout, Jin Ling slashed her flying golden sword fiercely at the golden Buddha. The sword light, as dazzling as starlight, momentarily blinded Xuan Du and the others.

But the golden Buddha calmly raised its right hand, and the Buddha's hand, which blotted out the sun, fell down fiercely.

"Bang……"

After a loud bang, the golden Buddha exploded, the sword light dissipated, and Jin Ling felt a sweet taste in her mouth, with streaks of blood spilling from the corners of her lips, clearly suffering some backlash.

The Doubu group fared no better, all suffering varying degrees of backlash.

As for the pharmacists and Western Sect disciples in the formation, they were in similar condition, their faces as pale as snow, and they almost couldn't even maintain the formation.

"Junior Sister Jinling, you may step back now."

Jin Ling wanted to move again, but Wei Guang stopped her. Helpless, Jin Ling could only lead her people to retreat.

Wei Guang looked at Yu Yixian: "It's your turn to perform."

The reason Jin Ling was asked to step down was because there was absolutely no need for Dou Bu to fight Yao Shi and the others to the death. Don't forget, they still have the Dharma Protector Legion.

The formations controlled by the Dharma Protector Legion are very similar to those of the Fighting Department, both gathering immense power into one, making them perfect for breaking formations.

In comparison, the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, which requires enemies to enter the formation to unleash its power, is actually inferior in this situation.

"hey-hey……"

Yu Yixian revealed a perverted smile, and then in a flash, she arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru.

Then, the 100,000 heavenly soldiers of the Dharma Protector Legion, along with some Golden Immortals and even Taiyi-level heavenly generals, stepped forward and, without any instructions from Yu Yi Xian, found their positions in an orderly manner.

The formation controlled by the Dharma Protector Legion is called the Demon Subduing Formation. It does not use formation flags; it is a pure military formation that utilizes military force.

"kill."

"kill."

As the 100,000 heavenly soldiers took their positions, Yu Yixian roared, and the soldiers responded in unison, their powerful voices resounding throughout the heavens and earth, and boundless killing intent emanating from them.

An unparalleled killing intent gathered, causing the heavens and earth to change color, and even the auspicious clouds in the sky above dispersed.

Those wisps of killing intent condensed above the Guardian Legion, transforming into a demon god hundreds of feet tall, radiating boundless killing intent.

The demon god was dressed in blood-red armor and held a blood-red halberd.

Its sheer power was enough to startle the weaker disciples of the Jie Sect at the rear of the Dharma Protector Legion, causing them to instinctively retreat, a sense of fear rising from within.

"call……"

In the midst of the formation, even the pharmacist couldn't help but take a deep breath. Just a moment ago, even he felt fear in his heart. Although he didn't retreat or show weakness, he was indeed startled.

He knew that this time, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out.

It's not that the Golden Light Formation is inferior to the opponent's Demon-Subduing Formation, but rather that the person in charge of the formation is not as good as the opponent.

They had already suffered a backlash from their recent battle with the Dou tribe, greatly reducing their strength. How could they possibly withstand the Guardian Legion at its peak?

"Master, why haven't you come back yet? If you don't come back soon, you'll never see me again."

"kill."

Yu Yixian roared again, raising the Yin-Yang Sword that had merged into one and slashing it straight down at the golden light array. The demon god also moved in response.

He raised the blood-red halberd high in his hand and thrust it fiercely down towards the golden light array.

Boundless killing intent, condensed and unyielding, distorted even space itself wherever the blood-red halberd passed. This attack from the Guardian Legion was even more terrifying than Jin Ling's sword strike.

Of course, this doesn't mean the Demon-Slaying Legion is superior to the Zhou Tian Star Array, but rather that there's a difference in numbers.

The Guardian Legion has 100,000 heavenly soldiers, a small portion of whom are True Immortals, the majority are Profound Immortals, and the number of Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals exceeds that of the Dou Department.

How can three hundred or so people compare to an army of one hundred thousand?

"attack."

Between offense and defense, if he ultimately chooses offense, he knows that in their current state, it is impossible for them to block the opponent's attack.

So, the pharmacist began to burn his own essence.

"Senior Brother..."

Seeing that the Medicine Master's cultivation level was inexplicably rising rapidly, Ksitigarbha and the others immediately realized what he was doing and exclaimed in surprise, their faces full of anxiety.

"Stop talking nonsense, attack."

The pharmacist was resolute, desperately burning his own essence, and his cultivation level directly entered the Quasi-Saint realm.

After this battle, even if the pharmacist survives, his cultivation will likely be difficult to advance further, and he might even regress, falling out of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

"attack."

Ksitigarbha and the others were filled with rage, glaring fiercely at the crowd outside the formation.
