Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 719 - 309: Commanding Yin and Yang (Part 2)
Previously on Cultivating with Top Enlightenment...
Initially, the blood crane pressed on with its advance, its enormous frame surging upward for a good stretch.
However, soon after, the blood crane plummeted from the heavens, layers of its feathers stripped away one by one, while its colossal body got rapidly torn apart, flesh ripping open.
Rumble!
At last, the blood crane tumbled from the sky, its battered form spilling out several silhouettes that fierce assaults overwhelmed in an instant, reducing them to utter ash.
Down below, the White Crane Immortal Sect's cultivators met the same grim end, perishing one after another amid bitter reluctance and fury.
Just over a dozen Integration Realm cultivators at the core managed to hang on.
They exchanged glances, a fierce bloodthirst igniting in their gazes.
Next, their eyes shifted to the Crystal Spirit Jade symbolizing Earth Star, where the pure and impure forces inside at last began to cycle above and below, sparking a true Yin and Yang exchange.
Wu Feiyu sent out his voice transmission, "Let us exhaust our final strength to complete the ceremony. Even if we die, we cultivators of the Vast Realm must clear the path for the Vast Realm Will!"
The remaining Integration Realm cultivators nodded in agreement, uniting in purpose.
A crimson radiance started to radiate from each of them, funneling every bit of their Spiritual Energy and Primordial Spirit Rules together with their vital essence straight into the Crystal Spirit Jade with desperate force.
Their forms turned ethereal, like the power draining from a Spirit Stone and leaving nothing but a hollow husk.
Within the Crystal Spirit Jade, the energy shift sped up abruptly, pushing the ceremony right to the edge of success.
At this sight, unease flashed across the faces of the Integration Realm cultivators in the Profound Truth Realm’s forces.
They had utterly crushed the two squads from the White Crane Immortal Sect this time, yet should the ceremony finish and the Vast Realm Will arrive, their triumph wouldn't count as real.
From the Profound Truth Realm’s ranks, a squad expert in swift movement dashed forth, aiming to cut the connection between Heavenly Star and Earth Star.
At the same time, additional fighters unleashed fresh barrages, launching precise strikes targeted at the Crystal Spirit Jade.
Provided the ceremony stayed unfinished and Heavenly Star remained unconquered, the battle raged on!
All the while launching their assaults, they kept their eyes fixed on the Heavenly Star.
The beams from Heavenly Star had thickened to the width of an arm, with numerous starry tendrils sprouting from them, wriggling like some bizarre, hairy worm.
Beyond the obvious beam-like stellar rays, the falling starlight had fully shrouded the Profound Truth Realm’s troops.
The Profound Truth Realm’s forces formed a void array, dropping collectively into the depths, suddenly sensing their power getting restrained yet again.
Meanwhile, the advance of that swift squad grew ever more sluggish.
Eight thousand meters, five thousand meters, three thousand meters, one thousand meters...
Upon hitting a thousand meters, their soaring pace resembled that of mortal realm Martial Artists employing lightness techniques, inching ahead merely tens of meters each go.
At five hundred meters, they crawled forward at the pace of ordinary mortals sprinting.
In that instant, they grasped the sheer might of the Alliance Hierarch, who had made it to the altar's heart.
Trailing them, the onslaughts from all the cultivators streaked past below, hurtling toward the Crystal Spirit Jade.
Still, every person distinctly noticed their strikes losing potency the closer they got.
And right as the assaults neared the Crystal Spirit Jade, a surge of violet glow burst forth from it, a protective shield spreading out to shield a ten-meter area.
Every strike collided with it, only to get utterly repelled.
This scene plunged despair into the hearts of the Profound Truth Realm's members.
Could such a vast force still fail to claim Earth Star?
The Sword Ancestor retreated in flight, grasping the dire gravity of the moment.
Should the Vast Realm Will keep advancing, this whole area would fall under its total control.
With that, the Sword Ancestor unsheathed his blade and lunged forward.
Aside from the Alliance Hierarch, every cultivator in the Profound Truth Realm held the utmost respect for Sword Shocking.
He stood as the ultimate model of a Sword Cultivator, his One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Techniques unmatched in offensive prowess.
An unseen sword ray sliced through the emptiness, birthing a dark void like a sheath encasing the beam.
The ray cut keen and true, its Sword Intent weaving in layers, plunging toward the growing violet shield without hindrance.
Crack!
A sharp snap echoed like shattering glass, and the ten-meter violet shield around the Crystal Spirit Jade cracked apart, igniting hope in the Profound Truth Realm’s troops.
Had the Sword Ancestor pulled it off?
Yet the Sword Ancestor only creased his brow in deep concern, for he knew his own blow best—his Sword Intent had struck home without fail.
He alone comprehended the true outcome of that strike.
He hadn't destroyed the Earth Star embodied by the Crystal Spirit Jade; he'd only temporarily pierced the violet glow.
True to form, the very next instant saw the fractured violet shield, guided by the Vast Realm Will, rebuild and stretch out another five meters.
In that fleeting gap, all caught a glimpse of what lay inside the Crystal Spirit Jade.
The energy-built Taiji Fish had nearly fully taken shape.
The Sword Ancestor wasted no time, pressing on with a flurry of stabbing strikes.
But what one sword had sundered now demanded two or even more to breach.
Each time the violet light splintered, the energy shift in the Crystal Spirit Jade halted for a beat, though in the end, nothing could halt its relentless progress.
The Sword Ancestor had earlier flung a sword strike at the Heavenly Star itself and at that beam of stellar light.
The ray bound for Heavenly Star disintegrated entirely short of its mark.
And the one clashing with the star beam connected, yet its force scarcely dented it.
Through this, he too perceived the horrifying might of the Spirit Realm Will!
The Sword Ancestor kept unleashing slash after slash, his sword gaze sweeping across the void.
