At this mont, they were right at the heart of the storm, atop the summit of the mountain pillar. Beyond this point lay the boundary of the Secret Realm. It looked unremarkable, but once past the boundary, they would leave the Secret Realm and enter the Void Turbulence.
Even at the eye of the storm, atop the mountain pillar where the concentration of Abyss Demon Qi and Spiritual Power was several tis denser than before, the storm seed to gradually subside.
Countless Black Dragons were circling around them, and it was exactly this overwhelming number that had ford such an enormous storm!
"I never expected your target to be the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core; how audacious!"
Liang Yi glanced at the others and then focused on the small opening behind Liang Yi.
Upon reaching the valley and witnessing the phenonon manifestation due to the massive gathering of Abyss Demon Qi, they had already understood what had occurred and had guessed the purpose of Liang Yi and his group.
The phenonon manifestation of the Heavenly Vein Spiritual Core was fleeting, lasting at most half an hour.
This half an hour was the ti it took for the Abyss Continent's demonic energies to gather and transfer, hence the formation of such a phenonon and the creation of a channel leading to the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core.
After half an hour, the phenonon would disappear, the channel would naturally close, and opening it again would require one to be at a certain location on the Abyss Continent at a specific half-hour window in the future!
Although the transfer of the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core would form a substantial phenonon around it, the timing of its appearance was just before Liang Yi and his group's arrival—a re incense stick's worth of ti—so not even the Devouring Spirit Sect was aware that the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core had appeared in the Devouring Spirit Secret Realm.
Generally speaking, the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core rarely appeared in areas densely populated by cultivators, mostly manifesting and vanishing without a trace.
"The Heavenly Vein Spirit Core isn't much of a ga-changer for regular Abyss Cultivators; at most, it can make a cultivator's training a bit faster. It's unexpected that a Mystical chanism cultivator would set their sights on it."
Zhao Taishi, holding a long spear, tensed his body and squinted as he spoke.
Although the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core was extrely precious, few Abyss Cultivators actually coveted it. After all, every Abyss Cultivator was under the control of the Abyss Will, utterly loyal to the Abyss Continent, and tampering with the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core brought no benefits, only harm. Who would engage in such a thankless task?
But in the current situation, the Mystical chanism cultivators, to break the stalemate, actually thought of this—it wasn't just Zhao Taishi, but sothing all Abyss Cultivators had never considered.
To pass through the front lines guarded by four Abyss Envoys in disguise, to arrive at the Abyss Continent undetected, and moreover, to precisely locate the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core's position, Zhao Taishi felt his scalp tingle just thinking about the difficulty of such an endeavor.
"What a pity, what a pity, in the end, we…"
Zhao Taishi sneered with a smug look, ready to continue with so taunting words.
But before the smile on Zhao Taishi's face faded and the words left his mouth, a bright moon suddenly rose, with countless stars twinkling, bringing about a complete transformation in an instant!
Moonlight brilliant enough to pierce through the surrounding dark storm fell from the sky, and in the moon's silhouette, a figure resembling a moon deity held an Immortal Sword, lightning-fast, thrust directly at Zhao Taishi's brow!
The only thing Zhao Taishi could see when he looked up, beyond the terrifying sword light, were those unforgiving, indifferent eyes!
The faces of Lin Jiyao and Shi Li changed drastically, instinctively wanting to intervene, but a bell sound reached their ears.
Ding-ding—
Lin Jiyao and Shi Li's expressions flickered for a mont; although the distraction was brief, everything around them had changed in the next second.
They were no longer atop the mountain pillar as before; instead, they were now enveloped by an awe-inspiring Starry Sky Formation!
A magnificent star river hung inverted in the Heavenly Vault above, splitting the sky asunder. Within the river, stars were born, collided, and burst in a continuous array, unleashing trendous power.
Amidst the star river, a figure sat cross-legged, their eyes reflecting the expanse of the sky above, quietly observing the two within the formation.
For a mont, Lin Jiyao was unsure whether the galaxy in the sky was reflecting in the person's eyes, or the galaxy in the person's eyes was displayed upon the vault of heaven.
He Zhiqing was not one for superfluous words. He was rely a Great Perfection cultivator of the Eighth Realm, facing two peak Ninth Realm cultivators. To hold back at this point would be no different from courting death.
With Divine Sense guiding the entire Array, He Zhiqing backed by the Complete Heaven Star Battle Formation, with Star Eyes deducing every possible counterasure from the two individuals, he directed several stars from the Star Sea to burst forth and ruthlessly smash down towards Lin Jiyao and Shi Li!
"The Complete Heaven Star Battle Formation!"
However, upon recognizing the origins of the Great Formation, an alard and infuriated cry escaped from Lin Jiyao's clenched teeth.
To deal with them, He Zhiqing had even brought out the Complete Heaven Sect's Sect Protection Array?!
What was more outrageous was that, as the stars carrying boundless might hurtled towards them, the familiar ringing of bells resounded once again.
"It's Senluo Wanxiang Sect's Pang Qingshi!"
Shi Li looked profoundly serious, staring intently at the stars racing down from the heavens.
Although those stars were powerful, Shi Li could have acted in advance, shattering them before their power peaked. But under the influence of the Senluo Wanxiang's intent, he could no longer discern an active way to shatter the stars, let alone determine where they would fall!
