Chapter 3531: The Great Spatial Sword Formation (3)
The arrangement of the Great Spatial Sword Formation did not rely on immortal crystals nor were there any requirements on cultivation. Once the formation was unleashed, it could automatically absorb energy from the surroundings to replenish itself.
However, the rate at which it absorbed energy was still limited.
Under these circumstances, if they brought out the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain and managed to merge it with the Great Spatial Sword Formation, they would drastically increase the rate at which the formation gathered energy.
Several core disciples immediately stood forward with elder Nong’s bellow, ready to assemble the Constellation formation.
Some other core disciples had already begun contacting the auxiliaries, planning to gather them all on the main peak.
Only when the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens assembled all of their experts could they barely power a high quality god artifact like the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.
“You can’t! You can’t use the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain!” But at this moment, the sect master Chen Shuzhi stopped everyone. His face was extremely ugly as he said sternly, “There’s still room for peace talks, but once you use the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain and actually kill one of the Immortal Emperor ancestors, then our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will truly become mortal enemies with the four organisations.”
Chen Shuzhi looked towards elder Nong and said, “Elder Nong, stop where you should. The four organisations have already witnessed the strength of our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. I’m sure they’ve developed fear towards our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens now, and they won’t make trouble so easily anymore.”
“We have the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain in the sect. We can use it to provide energy to the Great Spatial Sword Formation. Once we miss this chance, it’ll be very difficult for us to find another similar opportunity.” Elder Nong gritted his teeth. The situation was wonderful right now, but the sect master happened to object to his decision at such a critical time, which left him with a lot of pent-up fury.
“We can’t destroy the four organisations. If we destroy them, our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will truly be doomed.” Chen Shuzhi looked at elder Nong with shining eyes.
“Are you really telling me that our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens will be safe by not destroying them?” Elder Nong was exasperated. He stared straight at Chen Shuzhi and said, “Unless we proactively hand over these treasures, they’ll always view us as the greatest threat. They’ll do all that they can to come after us.”
“We can negotiate with the four organisations. We don’t need these treasures. We only need peace…” Chen Shuzhi said.
Activating the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain required the strength of the entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens. Now that elder Nong and the sect master disagreed, the disciples below gradually fell into two factions as well. Under these circumstances, they obviously could not use the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain.
Elder Nong also gave up on the thought of using the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain. Instead, he continued to use the stone golem.
He filled the stone golem with five-coloured immortal crystals again. Afterwards, the stone golem turned into a blur and shot through the sky with lightning speed, vanishing into the Great Spatial Sword Formation.
The four Immortal Emperors trapped inside the Great Spatial Sword Formation had already gradually settled down despite their initial nervousness.
“It’s like what I said. With Nong Fugui’s mere cultivation as a Third Heavenly Layer Immortal Monarch, how can he control such a powerful formation easily? He might have unleashed the formation, but there are still certain aspects that he has trouble with. Sword Qi as powerful as just then isn’t something he can launch whenever he likes.”
“The sword Qi was powerful, but it was only a flash in the pan. The formation still can’t threaten us. Everyone, let’s think about how we can get out of this formation.”
The four Immortal Emperors talked among themselves. They had already gathered together, facing all threats as one.
At this moment, a powerful sword intent appeared once more. Another three hundred metre long strand of sword Qi suddenly appeared in the space there, shining with blinding light and shooting straight towards the Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Sword Control with terrifying shockwaves.
After a moment of gathering energy, the Great Spatial Sword Formation had finally condensed a second strand of sword Qi.
“Let’s strike together!” The Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Sword Control roared out furiously as he slashed out with his god artifact sword at full strength.
At the same time, the three other Immortal Emperors also struck out. They each wielded medium quality god artifacts and none of them held back, launching full-powered strikes at the colossal sword Qi.
Boom!
Immediately, five different energies collided in the space there, producing a deafening boom. Under the combined attacks of the four Immortal Emperors, the second strand of sword Qi condensed by the Great Spatial Sword Formation was dispersed.
The stone golem also launched a sneak attack at this moment. It silently appeared near the four Immortal Emperors and swung its stone fists, sending them towards the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control with terrifying, explosive power.
Elder Nong clearly felt great resentment towards the Immortal Sect of Sword Control. His attacks all targeted them.
The stone golem’s sneak attack made the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control’s expression change slightly. When he blocked the colossal sword Qi, he had already used all of his strength, so he was currently a spent force. In a rush, he could only condense a strand of sword Qi that shot towards the stone golem.
Bang!
With a smack, the stone golem punched through the sword Qi and struck the ancestor of the Immortal Sect of Sword Control’s head like it was unstoppable.
At this moment, the attacks from the three other Immortal Emperors arrived. They clashed heavily against the stone golem’s fist.
With a great rumble, the stone golem shook violently, and the light in its eyes flickered rapidly. At that instant, a large amount of energy was exhausted from the five-coloured immortal crystals in its body.
Even though they rushed their attacks, their combined might had managed to force back the stone golem.
The stone golem retreated suddenly. Before the four Immortal Emperors could launch any more attacks, it vanished into the Great Spatial Sword Formation. It had not achieved the effect it was after from the sneak attack this time.
Outside the Great Spatial Sword Formation, elder Nong was stern. He clearly knew about the exact situation inside. Under their combined efforts, the Great Spatial Sword Formation could no longer threaten the four Immortal Emperors.
“It’s a pity that we can’t use the Energy-gathering Divine Mountain. Otherwise, with its support, the Great Spatial Sword Formation will have an endless supply of energy. With that, it can form a limitless number of sword Qi. Under this unending barrage of sword Qi, they might be able to block a strand or two, but will they be able to block hundreds or thousands?” Elder Nong was vexed inside.
Suddenly, the space above the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens began to shake violently. The chaotic space created by the Great Spatial Sword Formation expanded and shrank as powerful shockwaves reached far and wide.
Elder Nong squinted his eyes and said slowly, “They’re furiously attacking the space in an attempt to burst open the formation and escape. However, according to my understanding of the Great Spatial Sword Formation, it’s not something they can breach despite its incomplete state.”
“Elder Nong, enough is enough. Let’s open up the formation and negotiate on how to resolve this,” Chen Shuzhi spoke up from the side.
Elder Nong shook his head and said, “Everything has already come so far. You can forget about any negotiations. Today, I only want our Sword Sect of Violet Heavens to truly hold our heads high for once so that these four organisations can never return to where they came from.”
Right when elder Nong finished talking, there was a clap of thunder from the distant horizon. A violet bolt of lightning shot straight towards the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens with unbelievable speed.
It was possible to make out a small sword within the violet lightning. As it radiated with sword Qi, it was accompanied by the endless power of lightning.
Boom!
In an instant, the violet bolt of lightning crossed through several tens of thousand kilometres and slammed into the Great Spatial Sword Formation with chillingly great force, producing a great rumble.
Immediately, the sky over the Sword Sect of Violet Heavens began to crack. The terrifying storm of energy ravaged the mountains and forests, making the rocks collapse and the ground crack open. The entire Sword Sect of Violet Heavens was thrown into a mess.
The powerful strike of the violet lightning directly created a crack in the Great Spatial Sword Formation.
“An opening has appeared! Quick, attack the opening with your full strength!” the Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Sect of Azure Foxes suddenly called out from inside the Great Spatial Sword Formation. The four Immortal Emperors immediately struck with their full strength, attacking this opening desperately since it had only appeared after so much difficulty. In the end, the Great Spatial Sword Formation collapsed with a rumble.
