Chapter 1768: The Ancient Divine Ruins Demon-Trapping Formation Collapses
"A crack in the boundary wall..."
Li Luo looked up, his gaze piercing through the Spirit Phase Grotto-Heaven to the far end of the ten great Shenzhou skies, where an abyss-like crack writhed like a world-destroying poison dragon, emitting a terrifying aura.
With the strength of Li Luo, who had now forged four positional grades, his perception was far beyond what it used to be, so he could even see with his naked eyes that in the dark and gloomy world behind the boundary wall crack, vast demonic shadows were emerging, and terrifying gazes filled with negative emotions were penetrating the void, greedily staring at the ten great Shenzhou.
Behind the boundary wall crack, the Great Demon King of the Dark World was preparing to descend.
"What is your plan, Heavenly King Jiang? How should this crack in the boundary wall be repaired?" Li Taixuan spoke up and asked at this moment.
The source that forced the ten great Shenzhou into the War of Unification was the opening of this boundary wall crack; otherwise, the Heavenly Kings of the ten great Shenzhou could still rely on the natural defenses of the Wang Hou Battlefield to resist the invasion of the Dark World and buy more time for the growth of the ten great Shenzhou.
So as long as the crack in the boundary wall can be repaired, the crisis of the ten great Shenzhou will be alleviated significantly.
"In these ten years of Heavenly Fate, we, the many Heavenly Kings, have been deducing strategies to break the deadlock, and in the end, we have gained some clues."
Heavenly King Jiang's eyes showed a look of contemplation as he said, "There is a considerable gap between our ten great Shenzhou and the peak power of the Dark World, so if the seventy-two Great Demon Kings of the Dark World fully descend, even if we exhaust our reserves, we will not be able to defeat them."
Li Luo nodded in agreement; although the ten great Shenzhou had given birth to these newly promoted Heavenly Kings due to the fate settlement of this "Ten Years of Heavenly Fate," this still could not make up for the gap between the two sides.
Even if Li Luo, using his Life and Death Phase, could cause the two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings, Yan Changsheng and Su Ying, to walk out of the Spirit Phase Grotto-Heaven, plus resurrecting Wang Taixi, and as for the Alchemy Saint sleeping within Bai Bai Mengmeng's body, since the two of them were already in a symbiotic state, Li Luo was not clear whether his Life and Death Phase could also revive the Alchemy Saint...
But even if they were truly counted, whether in peak power or overall reserves, the ten great Shenzhou still fell short of the Dark World; this was a fact that no one could deny.
If they truly lined up their formations and engaged in a full-scale exchange of pieces to start the war, in the end, the Shenzhou Heavenly Kings would surely die out completely first.
"So we plan to use the 'Ancient Alliance Pact' to gather the power of all Heavenly Kings and forge an unprecedented boundary-suppressing miraculous formation."
"This formation is named the 'Ancient Divine Ruins Demon-Trapping Formation'."
Heavenly King Jiang extended his palm, and the void trembled violently; vast and boundless heaven and earth energy gathered in his palm, finally turning into a yellowed ancient sheet of paper.
On the ancient paper, countless ancient seals seemed to be engraved, with threads of mighty power appearing and disappearing, bringing a sense of oppression that even the Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings dreaded.
This object was precisely the supreme divine artifact forged by the blood oaths of the many Heavenly King experts of this era working together.
The Ancient Alliance Pact!
Relying on this object, the many Heavenly Kings were able to guard the ten great Shenzhou for so many years when their overall strength was clearly inferior to the Dark World, preventing their tentacles from intruding.
Even Yan Changsheng and Su Ying, these two Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings who had witnessed the most glorious era of the Formless Sacred Sect, showed some moved expressions in their eyes when gazing at that yellowed ancient sheet of paper.
They could perceive that within this pact, there existed the auras of many Heavenly Kings; since its birth, numerous Heavenly Kings had engraved their own imprints upon it.
Some of these Heavenly King auras had already dimmed, indicating that those individuals had perished, but even so, this still added a layer of profound depth to the Ancient Alliance Pact, endowing it with boundless mighty power.
Yan Changsheng and Su Ying both sighed in admiration; they could imagine that tens of thousands of years ago, as the Formless Sacred Sect collapsed and vanished, countless living beings of the ten great Shenzhou fell into what kind of fear and helplessness.
Fortunately, at that time, the Dark World had also been severely damaged by the Formless Sacred Sect and was lying low to recover.
But the Dark World's reserves were ultimately more bizarre and substantial; in the years that followed, one after another Great Demon Kings began to be nurtured and born, and they once again began to tentatively probe the power of the Shenzhou.
At that critical moment, finally, the remaining Heavenly Kings of the Shenzhou, with immense determination, consumed their own positional grades to forge a divine artifact: the Ancient Alliance Pact!
The initial Ancient Alliance Pact naturally did not possess too great a mighty power, but as the Shenzhou's successive newly promoted Heavenly Kings continuously engraved their imprints, this divine artifact gradually began to become more substantial.
In the end, this "Ancient Alliance Pact" became the boundary-suppressing object of the ten great Shenzhou and extended the survival time of the Shenzhou living beings for tens of thousands of years.
Heavenly Kings are the peak experts of this world, like gods looking down upon the world, possessing supreme authority.
However, once a Heavenly King expert engraves their own positional grade into the "Ancient Alliance Pact," they will be subject to a layer of shackles and restrictions; they cannot violate the rules of the pact and must all act and pay the price for it.
This point was what made Yan Changsheng and Su Ying most respectfully awed.
After all, even in the era of the Formless Sacred Sect, the Shenzhou Heavenly Kings had never been willing to accept such shackles; of course, the biggest reason for this was perhaps that it was unnecessary.
Because in that era, they had a Sect Master.
That pillar holding up the sky single-handedly shouldered the threats and pressures from the Dark World.
"This 'Ancient Divine Ruins Demon-Trapping Formation' will turn the ten great Shenzhou into ten 'Demon-Trapping Battlefields,' and at the same time, it will also form a blockade against the crack in the boundary wall, playing a certain restrictive role on the descent of the Great Demon Kings of the Dark World."
"But even so, the Great Demon Kings descending from the Dark World will surely be more numerous than the Shenzhou Heavenly Kings."
"This will still be a fierce and perilous battle."
"However, as long as we can maintain the 'Ancient Divine Ruins Demon-Trapping Formation' from being broken through under the invasion of the Dark World, then this formation will be able to gradually repair the crack in the boundary wall; once the repair is successful, the Ancient Alliance Pact can activate its mighty power to forcibly drive out all the Great Demon Kings that have entered the Shenzhou."
"At that time, with the boundary wall repaired and the Great Demon Kings retreating, our Shenzhou will be able to survive this War of Unification." Heavenly King Jiang, holding the "Ancient Alliance Pact" in his hand, fully explained this plan to deal with the great invasion of the Dark World.
Li Luo and the other newly promoted Heavenly Kings, upon hearing this, also nodded in agreement; being able to impose some restrictions on the descent of the Great Demon Kings of the Dark World was already considered the best news for the ten great Shenzhou.
Otherwise, if ten Divine Fruit Great Demon Kings, accompanied by sixty-two Great Demon Kings, truly descended in full force, the Shenzhou side would find it very difficult to resist them head-on.
However...
Li Luo suddenly spoke up and asked at this moment, "Then what about the Unification Assembly?"
Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the many Heavenly Kings present, including Heavenly King Jiang, all became solemn.
They now all knew that inside the black coffin of the Unification Assembly, the Nirvana Phase polluted by the Source of Ten Thousand Evils might be sealed.
A Pseudo-Tenth-Rank Nirvana Phase!
This legendary realm, which even Heavenly Kings could not hope to reach, once it truly breaks the coffin's seal and appears in the world, its power would be difficult even for Divine Fruit Heavenly Kings to resist.
And at this moment, Yan Changsheng slowly spoke, "If that black coffin was indeed a seal set up by the Sect Master, then the Unification Assembly should not find it easy to break it open."
His words were filled with confidence in that Sect Master.
However, the many Heavenly Kings did not relax because of this; after all, the Unification Assembly had planned for such a long time for this, and even the Withered-Glory Phase had fallen into their hands, so they also needed to make the worst-case preparations.
If, indeed, the Evil Nirvana Phase reaching the Pseudo-Tenth-Rank truly appears in the world, how should the Shenzhou respond?
Heavenly King Jiang fell into slight silence; finally, his gaze slowly swept across and stopped on the calm, holy, and exquisite face of Jiang Jiang Qinge, who had been standing by Li Luo's side without speaking.
"If it truly comes to that time..."
"Perhaps, the Shenzhou can only rely on the Divine Lady."
