Before he finished speaking, his imposing aura suddenly grew stronger.
By burning his core blood, his cultivation level increased from the peak of the third rank of the Golden Immortal to the fourth rank of the Golden Immortal. Although it was only a temporary increase, the mighty holy light was like a setting sun, enveloping the entire square.
The stone slabs in the square cracked into spider web patterns under this tremendous pressure, with the cracks stretching hundreds of feet away.
All the cultivators below the ninth rank of the True Immortal Realm felt difficulty breathing, and those with slightly lower cultivation levels immediately fell to their knees, with blood seeping from their ears and noses.
“Burn the essence blood?” Gui Yuanzi’s expression changed drastically. “The Supreme Heavenly Venerate has gone crazy! If his core blood burns away, his cultivation level will drop by a huge level!”
“He has no intention of returning alive,” said Qingyunzi in a deep voice, his sword incantation continued, but his expression became extremely serious. “He wants to die with us.”
The remnants of the Heavenly Palace found their last foothold in a desperate situation.
The temple leader sacrificed his life energy to fight the enemy to the death, what reason did they have to retreat?
Fear was overcome by despair, and hopelessness was replaced by madness.
Led by a Heavenly Venerate burning his life essence, they launched a suicidal counterattack against the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge’s defenses.
Venerable Tianji himself took the lead.
With a swing of the golden spear, a spear aura that was several times thicker than before hit the Guiyuan Sect’s sword formation.
Thirty-six Guiyuan Sect disciples in the sword formation vomited blood simultaneously, and twelve of them were thrown far away, crashing into the mountain wall behind them, the sound of their bones shattering like popping beans.
Gui Yuanzi swung his sword to block, and as his sword collided with the spear energy, a piercing cracking sound could be heard from the blade. He was thrown back dozens of meters, his feet carving two deep grooves in the stone slab.
His arm, which was gripping the sword, became numb, and the membrane between his thumb and forefinger tore, with blood dripping down the sword hilt.
The remnants of the Heavenly Palace followed closely, like a pack of wounded beasts, launching wave after wave of attacks against the defenses of the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
They stopped defending, stopped forming ranks, and stopped conserving their spiritual power. Each of them condensed their last bit of holy light into a fist-sized light bullet and shot it towards Wan Yao Ling’s front line in a suicidal manner.
Although the light explosion was small, it was an attack from a True Immortal Realm cultivator who had concentrated his life’s cultivation, and its power was extremely terrifying.
The Qingyun Sword Sect’s sword formation took the brunt of the first wave of attacks.
Dozens of holy light bombs exploded inside the sword formation, each bomb shattering several flying swords into fragments and leaving several sword cultivators heavily injured and bloodied.
Flying sword fragments rained down, piercing through the armor and bodies of the cultivators who had no time to dodge.
An elder who had followed Qingyunzi for three thousand years was hit by a holy light bomb. His entire body exploded from the inside out, and golden holy flames burned his physical body and soul to ashes. Only a broken sword fell to the ground with the elder’s name engraved on it.
The eighteen layers of overlapping restrictions of the Myriad Laws Sect also developed cracks from the constant impact.
Several array experts in charge of the core array eyes were hit by backlash and vomited blood. One of them, a gray-haired old array master, fell on his face, his eyes were wide open, and he was already dead.
His hands remained in a clenched position, the bones of his fingers shattering into dust from the recoil.
The number of fatalities in Wanyaoling began to increase.
One of the deputy sect leaders of Guiyuan was split in two at the waist by the Celestial Venerable’s spear energy; his upper body was still swinging his sword when he was thrown.
The seven Qingyun Sword Sect core disciples were completely destroyed in the bombardment of the Holy Light Bombs, leaving only seven charred shallow holes where they stood.
The three array masters from the All-Law Sect suffered meridian damage due to the backlash and died on the spot.
The battles in the square became increasingly brutal, bloody, and no longer resembled battles between humans.
People fell all the time, and people screamed in pain all the time.
Blood soaked every inch of the stone slabs in the square, and severed limbs were strewn in every corner.
The smell of blood in the air was so strong that it made you nauseous.
A young disciple of the Guiyuan Sect was blown away by the explosion. When he landed, he discovered his left arm was missing, and the severed area was covered in blood, revealing white bone fragments.
He didn’t scream, but gritted his teeth, picked up the sword that had fallen to the ground with his right hand, and charged forward again.
