Whether observed with the eyes or divine sense, these golden phantoms seed indistinguishable from true cultivators. It was impossible to tell true from false.
In re monts, the entire sky over the Spiritwood Realm was filled with the figures of those golden-armored cultivators. Their mission seed not just a simple assault, but to provide specific intelligence on the Spiritwood Realm for the main force behind them.
"How about these golden armors?" Li Fan asked Fang Zaiji indifferently.
Fang Zaiji narrowed his eyes and observed carefully for a mont, then said with full arrogance: "They're just a slightly advanced smokescreen. I thought the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance had truly developed battle armors capable of infinite self-division! A few probes, and the smokescreen will be broken, revealing the real culprits!" Fang Zaiji declared confidently.
"It seems with the technological support from the Heavenly chanism Realm, the Spiritwood Realm has surpassed the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance in artifact refinent." Satisfied with the answer, Li Fan waved his hand, signaling that Fang Zaiji need not probe.
Suddenly, between the heavens and earth of the Spiritwood Realm, a massive arc-shaped light sphere enveloped the entire world. The surface of the light sphere was covered in dense, ever-shifting tallic stripes. Under Li Fan's command, in an instant, they ford countless pitch-black cannon muzzles.
"Boom!"
The muzzles locked onto those golden-armored cultivators darting through the sky. Then, countless black light beams erupted fiercely from them!
Before this black light radiating an aura of annihilation, the golden-armored cultivators could not withstand even a fraction; in a flash, they were torn to shreds and completely vanished into the air. With just one volley, over half of the countless golden phantoms were eradicated.
This terrifying sight caused the remaining golden-armored cultivators' movents to halt for a half-beat. In the mont they were stunned, another round of cannon fire arrived in an instant.
Before the black death rays, the golden armors were as fragile as paper. All the golden phantoms between the heavens and earth of the Spiritwood Realm were utterly annihilated.
"The Heavenly chanism Fortress, combined with the Sky-Splitting Cannons modeled after those of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. No need to fuss over your fancy smokescreens; even if there are more, just wipe them all out."
This is what they an by one force subdues ten skills, Li Fan thought to himself. He casually checked the energy stored in the Heavenly chanism Fortress.
The Heavenly chanism Fortress had rged as one with the Spiritwood Realm. The countless corpses on the plaza that continuously operated the Vital Essence of All Living Beings Technique, as well as the vast number of cultivators in the various small realms, provided source power to it unceasingly. After this period of accumulation, it had already reached an extrely astonishing value.
Li Fan estimated that a barrage of cannon fire at the intensity from earlier could continue nonstop for seven days and seven nights without running out.
“Bring out whatever tricks you have next,” Li Fan said coldly, his eyes fixed on the entrance fissure that kept pulsing.
After consecutively losing two vanguard units, the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance seed to have grown much more cautious. This ti, without much deliberation, they finally dispatched their true elite forces.
Before the figures even appeared, a surging aura of killing intent had already arrived from afar. The fissure suddenly widened greatly; Li Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he directly activated the Heavenly chanism Fortress's defensive function.
In an instant, the arc-shaped light curtain shook violently, with wave-like patterns flowing ceaselessly within it. It took a long while to finally dissipate this inexplicable impact. After checking, Li Fan's eyelids twitched uncontrollably.
Because the energy reserves in the Heavenly chanism Fortress, which he had just thought were more than sufficient, had been depleted by a full sixth in that brief mont! And the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance troops launching the assault had not even shown themselves yet!
What is that thing!? Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.
The subordinates in the Spiritwood Realm also sensed sothing, their expressions turning sowhat tense and uneasy.
“Emmisary, be careful. The enemy has likely already arrived,” Liu Ruchen suddenly warned in a grave tone.
Before the words had finished, the light curtain of the Heavenly chanism Fortress shook violently once more. This ti, the intensity was even fiercer than before, and the curtain dimd noticeably as a result. Clearly, it had once again blocked an attack from this unknown enemy on behalf of the Spiritwood Realm.
Li Fan knew that without the Heavenly chanism Fortress, the Spiritwood Realm would likely be riddled with holes by now. But the opponent had already launched two assaults, while everyone on the Spiritwood Realm's side still had no idea what kind of existence they were dealing with.
Worthy of the colossal organization that rules half of the Xuanhuang Realm. As expected, it possesses trump cards that I failed to discover even after reincarnating through multiple lifetis, Li Fan thought, facing this tricky foe not with fear but with delight. One could say that this discovery alone made it barely worthwhile, even if the entire Spiritwood Realm were destroyed right now.
However, the current Spiritwood Realm had gathered forces from nurous ancient surviving cultivation realms after all. It was not truly so easy to annihilate.
As everyone remained baffled and unable to grasp the situation, Daoist Hundred Flowers made a discovery after careful observation.
“This thod of attack seems sothing I once heard a certain friend ntion. Fierce beasts hidden in the void, feeding on cultivation realm continents. Ordinary people cannot discern their forms; a single claw or strike holds the power to shatter worlds... If I am not mistaken, it should be the void giant beast known as [Oblivion].”
“In truth, it is not a true living entity. Rather, it is a self-operating manifestation of certain rules in the starry sea,” Daoist Hundred Flowers quickly explained to everyone. “The world of that friend of mine once encountered an assault from this terrifying existence while drifting through the void after the great calamity descended.”
“The counterasure is also quite simple: Oblivion is only interested in cultivation realms with living beings present. Barren lands without life do not even enter its field of perception. I just never expected that this kind of rule-bound fierce beast could be controlled by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and used against enemies?”
Daoist Hundred Flowers, who had developed a trace of contempt for the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance after their two easy failures earlier, now had eyes filled with utmost gravity. The others, upon hearing this, brightened up. They then all turned to look at Li Fan in unison.
Concealing the life aura of an entire world was not a particularly difficult task for Li Fan. After a mont of contemplation, with the Oblivion Beast continuing its assaults and the Heavenly chanism Fortress's energy reserves down to only a third, the light curtain emitted strands of silver-soft glow.
Under the dual overlay of the Heavenly chanism Fortress and the Spiritwood Realm's grand formation, they finally managed, just before the defenses were utterly breached, to fade away the life aura of the entire world.
Everyone held their breath in anticipation. After all, a monster like Oblivion, invisible in its true form yet with savage strength, was truly hard to handle.
Fortunately, Daoist Hundred Flowers's guess was correct. Once it lost its sense of the life aura, that terrifying giant beast seed to have lost its assault target as well. It fell silent just like that.
In the third clash, the Spiritwood Realm claid a pyrrhic victory.
