A chain reaction ensued, and half of the more than 30 allied warriors could no longer withstand the pressure and unleashed all the attacks they had prepared.
No one used any wide-range spells; they mostly used powerful single-target attacks, but none of their attacks were less powerful than the baseline for super-level magic, and the energy released after a combined attack was even more astonishing.
Even Yulia could only dodge with all her might when faced with such an attack, and she dared not take it head-on. Theresa Scarlet Moon had to wait to be resurrected.
But Daozu still didn't make any move or react; only the purple spiritual energy between her ten fingers spun faster.
After that, no matter how strong the attack was, it would be absorbed by that ball of purple spiritual energy without any resistance as soon as it got close to the Dao Ancestor's body... No matter how highly compressed the magic power was, or the power of innate magic and special abilities, or even the power of the concept of magic, it was all useless.
What's even more chilling is that even though the Dao Ancestor absorbed this energy and its full power was enough to destroy several large towns, he still showed no fluctuations in his own power. It was as if a frail little girl had swallowed a dozen cows whole, completely defying common sense and terrifying.
However, after this combined attack, Dao Ancestor finally reacted.
She still didn't open her eyes, but stood up as if sleepwalking, and the position of her hands changed from touching her fingers together to drawing a sword from her palms.
Then, as the Dao Ancestor slowly separated her hands, she actually pulled a seemingly ordinary iron sword from her left palm with her right hand and was about to swing it with a very casual motion.
Before the other powerful members of the allied forces could react, only Yulia's heart suddenly pounded, and alarm bells rang in her mind.
She was familiar with Dao Zu's move; during her training with Linglan over the past year, she had been instantly killed by this sword countless times.
It's that sword of annihilation!
Before her mind could make that decision, Yulia's body moved first, rushing to the front of the group and blocking the path of Daozu's sword with her arms crossed.
brush!
The next second, the Dao Ancestor swung his iron sword down. There was no flashy sword light, but it knocked Yulia back dozens of meters through the air, causing her to kneel on the ground.
Only then did the allied warriors realize they had almost died, and they were instantly drenched in sweat.
"Thank you, Miss Julia, for saving my life..."
One of the outspoken allied warriors immediately spoke up.
"No need to thank me."
Julia simply waved her hand:
"I've been practicing hard for almost a year to be able to block her move... After that, I and Patriarch Feiyue will be responsible for defending against it. Just don't forget your own tasks."
As he spoke, Dao Zu still kept his eyes closed as if sleepwalking, but he took a light step and arrived in front of Yulia, swinging his sword to strike again.
brush!
Yulia thought it was another annihilation sword strike, but to her surprise, the magical artifact cloak behind her automatically blocked it—it wasn't an annihilation sword strike, just an ordinary slash.
But is the ordinary slash in the hands of the Dao Ancestor really ordinary?
As the strongest person in this world who swept across the East and established the Tianyun Empire purely through force, even though the Dao Ancestor's body was currently in a state similar to sleepwalking, he still judged from the brief exchange just now that the Annihilation Sword was ineffective against Yulia. Therefore, this sword was pure power, speed, and highly compressed sharp sword energy.
Hiss!
The magical artifact cloak that had accompanied Yulia since she embarked on her cultivation journey finally completed its final mission today, being cleaved in two by the Dao Ancestor's iron sword.
The sword continued its relentless attack, and Yulia's magical protective suit was also not spared, being cleaved open by the Dao Ancestor's sword, leaving a horrific wound on Yulia's body, with blood splattering everywhere.
"Ugh..."
Yulia bit her lip, trying to endure the pain and fight back or dodge, but she found herself completely unable to move because she had been locked on by the Dao Ancestor.
...So powerful. No wonder Amelie was so scared of her that she resorted to drinking. Is she really even in the same class as us? The gap is too big, isn't it?
As the sword light of the Dao Ancestor's third sword approached, Yulia's mind was filled with flashbacks, and various past scenes began to replay in her head.
boom!
At the critical moment, Theresa Scarlet Moon, engulfed in flames, rushed over and rammed her body into Dao Ancestor's sword. She then hugged Dao Ancestor and forcibly pushed him away.
!
Yulia suddenly woke up, her body covered in cold sweat, realizing that she had almost been killed by the Dao Ancestor... The arrogance she had accumulated in recent years due to her rapid increase in strength was instantly wiped out.
Without wasting time to think, Yulia's survival instincts kicked in, and she immediately took out a bottle of panacea and drank it. Relying on this priceless, top-tier healing potion, the wound that Dao Ancestor had just inflicted healed in a single breath.
In the blink of an eye, Theresa Scarlet Moon, who had bravely saved him earlier, had been cut into pieces by the Dao Ancestor and scattered on the mountaintop, looking utterly miserable.
Then, Daozu took another small step and instantly teleported in front of Yulia, swinging her seemingly ordinary iron sword again... She must have realized that Yulia was the biggest threat to her.
"Miss Julia, I'm here to help you!"
At the critical moment, someone else came to the rescue again. It was Barbara, a fusion-stage mage whose fused organs gave her bare feet and whose strength was immense as long as she stood on the ground.
Suddenly, the ground beneath Yulia's feet softened, causing her to sink into the ground instantly, just like a person falling into water, thus avoiding the Dao Ancestor's strike.
Then two huge rocks rose up from either side of the Dao Ancestor, transforming into two giant hands that slammed together like swatting a mosquito, slamming the Dao Ancestor inside with a loud crack.
After that, the two rocks continued to press towards the middle, and more rocks were added to the outside under Barbara's control. She clearly wanted to temporarily control the Dao Ancestor in this way.
But immediately, something unbelievable happened, leaving Barbara wide-eyed in disbelief.
In Barbara's perception, Dao Ancestor was still trapped in the middle of the mountain rocks, but he suddenly appeared in front of her and casually swung his sword.
puff!
Fortunately, the sword wasn't meant to annihilate, but Barbara's head still flew off, her eyes wide open in death, seemingly meeting the same fate as in the original game.
But the next second, Barbara sat up in a culture chamber, completely naked except for the sticky nutrient solution.
"I'm...resurrected? Thank goodness, the young lady's methods are effective, otherwise I probably would have really died this time."
Touching her new, perfectly intact neck, Barbara's heart pounded, and her legs even felt a little weak.
"Is that the power of the Dao Ancestor? That's terrifying..."
Click.
Just then, the sound of a door opening came from the darkness, and a dark mermaid who followed Xia Sha and a Crimson Moon maid whose strength was only at the level of a mage walked in:
"Is this Miss Barbara? How are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable? You are the first person to actually use the Resurrection System, so please be sure to tell us about your experience."
"I feel... alright."
Barbara carefully sensed her own power:
"This new body is a perfect match for my soul, no problem, all that's left is..."
"Hey!"
Splash!
With a "hey" from Barbara, her two lower legs lifted out of the nutrient solution, but they only reached her ankles and didn't have feet.
This wasn't because they cut corners when making a spare body for Barbara; rather, Barbara's feet are fused organs that cannot be replicated, and replacing them with ordinary feet would only harm her.
The fused organ itself is very tough and closely connected to its owner. Now, as soon as Barbara thought of it, two streams of light flew through the air and transformed into two fair and delicate little feet that landed on Barbara's ankles, completing her new body like the finishing touch on a painting.
"Hmm, very good, you've basically been resurrected at full strength... That Dao Ancestor's power was indeed terrifyingly strong, but the young lady's skills are amazing too!"
Barbara moved around on the ground a few times, and the joy of rebirth dispelled the fear of death, making her full of fighting spirit again, and she immediately wanted to return to the battlefield.
It was the Dark Mermaid and the Crimson Moon Maid who held Barbara back, insisting on giving her another quick check-up before letting her return to the battlefield.
On the other side, atop the main peak of Yunshan Mountain, after witnessing Barbara being beheaded by Daozu with a single sword strike while trying to save her, Yulia felt as if her mind had exploded.
Yulia gave up thinking.
Yulia was also enhanced.
"Ah-da!"
Yulia completely forgot all of Amelie's instructions that were in her mind. As if she had lost her mind, she rushed in front of the Dao Ancestor and threw a punch.
At this moment, Dao Zu, who had just killed Barbara, wanted to counterattack with his sword, but halfway through the swing, he seemed to realize something and abandoned the attack, instead parrying with his sword.
Boom!
Yulia's fist struck the blade of the sword in Dao Ancestor's hand directly. There was no powerful magic attached to it, nor any conceptual understanding of the Great Dao. It was just a punch thrown in anger.
Yet, this very punch, striking Daozu's longsword, produced a deafening roar even more deafening than the collision of two warships. Daozu was also repelled for the first time since the start of the battle... Although she remained ethereal and her hairstyle was perfectly intact, she was ultimately defeated.
Then Barbara returned to the battlefield. Even though her headless body and unclosed eyes were still bleeding on the ground, she was resurrected. Her small, fair fused organs, her feet, and the magical fluctuations did not lie.
"The life-saving techniques that the young lady taught us are effective!"
"Even the Dao Ancestor is not invincible!"
These two events revitalized the already somewhat low morale of the allied forces, and they once again unleashed their ultimate moves to besiege the Dao Ancestor.
However... even the Dao Ancestor began using magic.
Boom!
The ordinary longsword simply pointed to the sky, and before the dark clouds could even gather, thousands of silver lightning bolts cascaded down like a waterfall, enveloping the entire summit of the main peak of Cloud Mountain.
Divine Thunder of the Firmament, Divine Thunder Breaks All Laws!
Before the powerful figures could even unleash their accumulated power, it was shattered by the Divine Lightning, and many suffered a backlash, coughing up blood.
The Dao Ancestor suddenly rose higher, hovering about a hundred meters above the ground. He paused for about a second in a sword-wielding posture before forcefully swinging his sword.
The sword of annihilation, and this time it was a charged attack, its range covering the entire mountaintop.
"Don't even think about it!"
Startled from her unconscious state by that sense of crisis, Yulia immediately threw a punch, trying to shatter the invisible sword aura.
However, while the rule resistance prevented Yulia from being obliterated by the Sword of Obliteration, her idea of shattering the Sword of Obliteration with her fists was still too naive.
The power of rules attached to that invisible sword aura did not have much effect on Yulia, but the power of the sword aura itself was stronger than the power of Yulia's punch. Like waves pushing a small boat, it pushed Yulia to continue descending towards the mountaintop.
"What are you all standing there for? Quickly spread out and support Miss Yulia!"
Although Yulia was unable to completely block the sword strike, she significantly reduced the speed of its advance, buying enough time for the other powerful individuals.
None of the powerful figures in the allied forces who participated in the siege of Dao Ancestor were weak. Normally, they would all be patriarchs of their respective families and forces, and each of them would have some ability.
So they endured the backlash from the failed spell and the numbness from being struck by the Divine Lightning, each using their own unique abilities to escape the sword's range in an instant.
"Aha!"
Seeing that there was no one behind her, Yulia stopped resisting the Dao Ancestor's sword strike and simply leaned back to let the annihilating sword pass her.
Then, everyone saw that the summit of Yunshan's main peak was like a painting that had been wiped clean with an eraser. Everything on the summit completely disappeared in the invisible sword aura, leaving no trace.
Enduring such a powerful sword of annihilation was a great burden for Yulia. She was panting heavily and sweating profusely, her white stockings soaked through.
The scattered allied warriors once again unleashed their powerful attack spells, attacking the Dao Ancestor from different directions to buy Yulia time to recover.
Dao Zu simply hovered in place and made a few simple sword flourishes, annihilating all the spells that were attacking her... as if those spells were not powerful moves that could destroy a town, but rather mud splatters that wanted to splash on Dao Zu but were casually swatted away by her.
Not only did he annihilate the attacks of numerous powerful figures, but while defending with one hand wielding his sword, the Dao Ancestor also made a simple gesture with his other hand.
boom!
In that instant, six or seven powerful members of the allied forces burst into flames in mid-air. The magic power within their bodies was forcibly ignited by external forces, transforming into fierce Samadhi Fire that devoured them.
Clearly, Dao Zu had also witnessed Barbara's resurrection and knew that fatal wounds like beheading were no longer lethal. So he used the Samadhi True Fire, which could burn souls, intending to incinerate the lives and souls of the allied forces' powerful warriors.
However, Amelie already knew about the Samadhi True Fire.
More importantly, in the past year, Emery has made several improvements to her planned life-saving technology, and its security and stability have been greatly improved compared to the version tested by the system owners at the beginning of the year.
After detecting that their bodies had been ignited by the Samadhi True Fire, the sealing spells that Amelie had set up on the powerful allied warriors activated on their own, protectively sealing their souls in a small crystal within their bodies. The small crystal was then transported away by the magic device.
Those powerful allied warriors whose own magic was forcibly ignited into Samadhi Fire had their bodies, except for the fused organs, quickly burned to ashes. However, their souls had already escaped safely and were teleported a short distance to the bottom of Jade Wave Lake.
The reason Ameliete insisted on bringing the sea creatures into the alliance was because the sea creatures' ability to transport goods via waterways was simply too useful.
After the allied forces occupied Jade Wave Lake, not only did the high priestesses quickly establish magical strongholds, but several of Emerald's underwater biological research facilities were also secretly brought into the Tianyun Empire along the Changming River by Xia Sha's Abyss Mermaids and deployed at the bottom of Jade Wave Lake.
At this moment, the soul crystals of those powerful allied warriors whose bodies had been killed were sent into the biological research facility at the bottom of Jade Wave Lake by a magical device capable of short-distance teleportation.
They would identify themselves to the Crimson Moon Maids here, and then the Crimson Moon Maids would find the blood essence left behind by these powerful individuals in the inventory. Using the old man Langdon's magical cloning technology and combining it with the life-giving flame that has the property of regeneration, they would quickly create new bodies for the dead and then place the souls of the dead into the new bodies.
Just like game players who can respawn at a resurrection point after being killed by a BOSS, the powerful allied warriors who were killed by Daozu were also quickly respawned at the resurrection point set up by Amelite, and once again headed to the top of the main peak of Yunshan to return to the battle.
Chapter 373 Sister Ji Yue, I've come to discuss the Dao with you.
Seeing that even the Samadhi True Fire could not completely burn the allied forces' experts to death, Dao Ancestor's sleepwalking body paused for a moment, then he raised his iron sword again and launched an annihilation attack.
At this moment, Yulia, who had just blocked a sword of annihilation, had not yet recovered, but Theresa Scarlet Moon, who had been cut to pieces earlier, had already been resurrected.
Theresa Scarlet Moon couldn't be immune to the Annihilation Sword like Julia, but she wasn't afraid of being annihilated by the Dao Ancestor at all. So she rushed forward and disappeared under the Dao Ancestor's sword, exhausting the power of the Annihilation Sword in the process.
Taking advantage of this time, Yulia quickly recovered her strength and stepped forward to block the second annihilation sword that Dao Ancestor had swung in succession.
