Chapter 1143 - Shaking The Sky
The 30,000 Dao inscriptions reached the highest point of the white tower. The spider web-like Dao inscriptions lit up with white light. Following that, the inscriptions seemed to rise from the tower and attached themselves to the white astrolabe, forming a circle.
This was the highest number of Dao inscriptions the people present on the scene had seen in their lives. The Black Tower Council's 3,600 Dao inscriptions were already enough to stun the world, let alone the 30,000 Dao inscriptions that were weaving a circular symbol.
Boom!
The sky within a radius of 50,000 meters was covered by dark clouds. Night seemed to have descended during daytime at this time. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed in the sky, making it look as though there was going to be a huge downpour.
"My lord, should we still approach the white tower?" a cultivator asked Gongsun Yuanxuan.
Gongsun Yuanxuan looked at the white astrolabe in the sky as he replied, "No need."
"Why? What if she succeeds?" the cultivator asked.
"She's defying heavens and trying to change her fate. Since ancient times, there weren't many who succeeded. In the eyes of the heavens, we're just ants. It doesn't matter if she has a good relationship with the Evil Sky Pavilion, they can't determine her success in this matter. I'd like to see if she'll succeed as well…"
The cultivator nodded and turned back to look at the surging Primal Qi in the sky.
The dark clouds moved in the sky like dark dragons while bolts of lightning flashed accompanied by claps of thunder.
A sizzling noise rang in the air when the power of heaven and earth struck the white astrolabe. A circle of light would ripple out every time it struck the astrolabe.
The 30,000 Dao inscriptions continued to attach themselves to the astrolabe. It did not take long for it to grow thicker and heavier. It shone with an even brighter light than before.
Upon seeing this, Si Wuya said in shock, "The white tower is channeling the power of heaven and earth into the astrolabe. She's hoping to achieve a breakthrough this way. What a bold move!"
At this moment, Little Yuan'er asked, "Seventh Senior Brother, is the power of heaven and earth the lightning bolts?"
"Something like that," Si Wuya explained, "Humans can see lightning and hear thunder. They've witnessed the force of lightning that can split mountains and rocks. This kind of power is daunting and majestic. In front of such force, humans aren't worth mentioning at all. Powerful cultivators are able to resist a part of the full force of the lightning, but they can only do it for a short time. Moreover, they can't defeat it. Humans cultivated vitality; when vitality turns into energy, it contains destructive power. However, this power is different from the lightning that contained the power of heaven and earth. To harness the power of heaven and earth requires great courage…"
Little Yuan'er nodded despite not fully understanding Si Wuya's words. Then, she asked, "Does this mean Sister Lan is in grave danger?"
"Yes, she's in very grave danger…"
Boom!
Another thunderous noise rang in the air again, hurting many of the weaker cultivators' heads and eardrums.
A few ordinary attendants who were not cultivators fell to the ground immediately, bleeding from their seven orifices. After all, this was not an ordinary lightning strike. These lightning strikes that contained the power of heaven and earth were deliberately attracted here by the 30,000 Dao inscriptions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this time, several bolts of lightning flashed and struck the white tower at the same time. Even with the protection of the 30,000 Dao inscriptions, the tower that pierced through the clouds still could not avoid being struck by lightning.
The White Tower Council cultivators in the surroundings erected their protective energy to block the backlash of the strikes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several bolts of forked lightning struck again.
The white astrolabe managed to absorb part of the strike while the remaining force of the strike struck the white tower from a strange angle before it rebounded at Lan Xihe.
Lan Xihe, whose hair was fluttering wildly in the air, spat out a mouthful of blood immediately.
Everyone cried out in alarm.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lightning bolts that were clearly several times stronger than the ones before struck again.
Cracks began to appear on the white tower; the Dao inscriptions' protection did not seem as strong as before as well.
Upon seeing this, several cultivators flew forward, intending to support the astrolabe. Alas, they had just risen into the air when all of them were struck down by the lightning bolts. Their hair was fired, and their faces looked like charcoal as they dropped from the sky.
Shocked by this scene, Gongsun Yuanxuan hurriedly shouted, "Retreat again!"
The Great Ming cultivators retreated another 100 meters; they finally felt a little safer. They looked at Lan Xihe who was struggling in the sky, looking as though she was going to drop from the sky at any moment. However, this was also a testament to her terrifying strength.
With this, they waited quietly and leisurely watched the show.
"I don't think Lan Xihe will be able to survive. She's already gravely injured; it doesn't even matter if we make a move or not. It seems like the heavens on our side," Gongsun Yuanxuan said with bright eyes.
"The Grand Tutor is wise."
…
Si Wuya asked in a low voice, "Master, should we help her?"
Lu Zhou looked at the flashing lightning in the sky and said, "We can't help her."
Little Yuan was shocked and asked, "Why?"
"It's too dangerous," Lu Zhou replied, "This power surpasses the known limits of human cultivation. Lan Xihe has been relying on the astrolabe and the defense woven by the 30,000 Dao inscriptions to survive until now."
Ning Wanqing who overheard these words sighed.
Si Wuya nodded and said, "You're right, master."
Boom!
A huge chunk of the white tower fell immediately after being struck by the forked lightning.
The White Tower Council cultivators dodged and shot down the rubble.
At this moment, a purplish-blue lightning bolt that resembled a dragon flashed before striking at the white astrolabe.
"What's that?!"
Everyone exclaimed in shock.
At this moment, all the cultivators of the White Tower Council closed their eyes; they could not bear to watch this.
Even Little Yuan'er lifted her hands to cover her pretty face.
Gongsun Yuanxuan, who was watching from afar, felt his breathing quicken. His eyes were filled with a strange light as he thought to himself, 'The invincible Lan Xihe... is finally going to die!'
Great Ming had been waiting for a long time for the White Tower Council's dominion to come to an end.
Boom!
The long lightning bolt struck the huge white astrolabe.
The astrolabe sizzled before it lit up with a faint blue light.
On the other hand, the powerful strike caused Lan Xihe to fall.
The Sun, Moon, and Star Wheel flew back, shooting out countless energy seals.
As Lan Xihe fell, so did the white tower.
The White Tower Council cultivators could only watch helplessly as the 100,000-foot-tall white tower was gradually destroyed by the power of heaven and earth.
Lan Xihe continued to fall.
Although Ning Wanqing was blind, he could sense Lan Xihe rapidly falling from above. He quickly shouted, "Tower Master Lan, you can't fall past the 80th floor. If you go beyond the training hall, everything would be for naught!"
It was obvious the Dao inscriptions below the 80th floor were still on the tower and were not attached to the astrolabe.
Lan Xihe instinctively looked at the vast land below her. This was the beautiful world she often admired from the top of the tower. At this time, she suddenly felt insignificant. So what if she had 30,000 Dao inscriptions? Even if she had 300,000 Dao inscriptions, she still would not be able to defy the heavens. In the end, she sighed and revealed a helpless smile on her face.
At this time, Lu Zhou briefly calculated his merit points. Then, he held an Impeccable Card in hand as he flew out like an arrow toward the horizon.
When Ning Wanqing felt the fluctuation, he called out tentatively, "Pavilion Master Lu?"
Meanwhile, Gongsun Yuanxuan who was eagerly awaiting Lan Xihe's death noticed a figure in the sky. He felt as though his breath was caught in his throat. "Is that Pavilion Master Lu?"
The cultivator next to Gongsun Yuanxuan asked, "My lord, what should we do now?"
"Keep watching. I have a feeling all of them might die!" Gongsun Yuanxuan said.
The cultivator nodded. "You're wise, my lord."
If even the Pavilion Master of the Evil Sky Pavilion died, the black lotus domain, the white lotus domain, the golden lotus domain, the red lotus domain, the purple lotus domain, and the yellow lotus domain would have a hard time finding a force that could compete with Great Ming.
Just when Lan Xihe thought that she had failed, a golden palm seal flew up from behind.
When Lu Zhou leaped up, he said reproachfully, "Ignorant and fearless."
Lan Xihe was shocked. She turned and saw Lu Zhou extend his hand toward the sky and struck.
Boom!
The golden palm seal was shattered by the lightning.
Lu Zhou struck again; the golden palm seal was shattered again. He struck again and again, and the golden palm seals shattered again and again. It was futile.
Lan Xihe suddenly smiled and said, "It's useless, it's useless. It's impossible to defy heaven and change one's fate."
Lu Zhou ignored her strange behavior and continued sending palm seals to the sky.
'Supreme mystic power!'
The supreme mystic power burst forth, and a blue palm seal as huge as the sky shot out off Lu Zhou's palm.
The clouds parted and the earth quaked as a thunderous noise rang out.
The palm seal boosted with the supreme mystic power collided with the purple lightning; the force of the collision seemed as though it could cleave the sky into two.
Soon after, the dark clouds dispersed.
"This…" Gongsun Yuanxun was shocked. 'What power is this?'
