Cultivating with Top Enlightenment Chapter 744 - 316: Resolute (2)

As the Alliance Hierarch, Ning Qi bore the duty to command the troops and reduce the casualties as much as possible.

From nearby, Sword Ancestor inquired, "The Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect has divided its forces to fight in two locations. Our prime chance is here now. Awaiting just your command, we can strike immediately!"

Ning Qi cast his gaze below.

Ferocious beasts from the Sea of Realms assaulted the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's guardians with wild abandon, as the two factions clashed in a brutal showdown. Colors shifted in the heavens, blood sprayed through the emptiness, and countless lives vanished from both armies.

Next, his eyes shifted to Qi Keqing.

The forces from Qi Keqing's Fuyao Realm and the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's assailants positioned themselves amid the void, where warriors from each group battled fiercely.

Myriad strikes exploded outward, spells of all kinds tore through the skies, spiritual energies collided violently, and Rule Divine Chains wove together like a web, sparking an immediate thunderous boom.

As the premier sect in the middle Spirit Domain of the Vast Realm, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect held its ground evenly against Qi Keqing and her allies, despite splitting their troops in half.

Having lost two Extreme Venerables to slaughter, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's members burned with rage, launching every assault as though staking their very existence, with savage intensity.

Facing this onslaught, Qi Keqing's group appeared to falter in vigor, clearly suppressed by the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's pressure.

In that instant, Qi Keqing, leading the charge, surged ahead abruptly, a horrifying glow bursting from her form, rendering her akin to a brilliant celestial body.

This represented the supreme art of the Jade Light Immortal Sect, known as the Jade Light Radiance Technique!

Even more striking, a unique Spiritual Treasure emerged behind Qi Keqing—a collapsible enchanted mirror!

This enchanted mirror stood out as odd, sealing off Qi Keqing's back entirely, with each layer amplifying the light from her figure more potently.

Right then, the boundless glow emanating from Qi Keqing's Dharma Body got bent by the enchanted mirror, enveloping the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's forces in front completely.

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's cultivators had never faced such a technique, and despite their wariness, they failed to respond swiftly enough.

All at once, their vision filled with blinding white illumination, blocking out everything else.

They extended their spiritual sense, yet beneath this glare, it twisted unnaturally, hampering their awareness.

"Attack!"

Observing the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's fighters ensnared, Qi Keqing's troops swiftly recovered their drive.

Grasping the moment without delay, guided by squad commanders, they unleashed a unified barrage, seamlessly connected from vanguard to rear.

Across the firmament, the once-hidden Rule Pathways surfaced like rippling rivers; they flowed as currents and fused with the strikes from the ranks below.

These rule flows took shape and gathered into multiple vibrant Cyan Dragons, snarling with teeth and talons, lunging at the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's army!

Roar!

The draconic bellow reverberated across the field of war.

This intensified the auditory chaos for the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's personnel.

The swift thinkers among the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect, noting their spiritual sense and eyesight briefly nullified, promptly rallied the full force to hurl their mightiest blows ahead.

Simultaneously, they readied themselves for utmost safeguarding.

The troops obeyed without hesitation.

During their offensive, rules of spiritual energy surged from each individual's frame, morphing into radiant Vermilion Bird Divine Feathers that shielded their entire forms.

The army transformed in a flash into a flock of ethereal avians, shielded by blazing plumage, united as one, evoking the concentrated blaze from the Three Kingdoms' tales of the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Therefore, confronting the rule dragons infused with the Power of Heaven and Earth, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's warriors ought to stand undaunted.

Yet, surprises emerged nonetheless.

Not every strike from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect struck true toward the enemy; Qi Keqing's Jade Light Radiance Technique warped their spiritual detection.

Numerous blows missed the forward line; rather, they veered into their own ranks.

As a result, even prior to the Rule Dragons' impact, screams echoed through the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's array.

"Who struck me from the rear?"

"What in the world are you aiming at?"

These strikes caught all off guard and, sharing the same source, readily harmed allies.

Various Vermilion Bird Divine Feathers shredded at once, with forms drenched in crimson.

Thankfully, the Vermilion Bird Divine Feathers' guard ensured no fatalities; else, it would turn into a massive farce!

The sole solace lay in the fact that, despite misguided paths, the bulk still projected generally forward.

Still, they came across as chaotic, skewed, and too weak to repel the oncoming Rule Dragons.

The Jade Light Radiance Technique of Qi Keqing suited large-scale troop maneuvers, and deployed over such a vast zone, it inevitably faded quickly.

Nevertheless, disrupting foes for merely a breath, given a cultivator's rapid strikes, proved transformative.

Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's cultivators restored their vision, alongside their spiritual sense.

They grasped the peril unfolding instantly.

The dragons shattered their scattered assaults and closed in rapidly.

To counter, they were forced to redirect their barrages even as they bolstered protections.

"All units, follow the command: assemble the Vermilion Bird Battle Formation and shift to defense mode."

"Yes!"

At once, the entire group pulled back together, realigning positions, as their setup morphed in a blink.

Viewed from distance, they resembled the outline of a legendary Vermilion Bird.

Vermilion Bird Divine Feathers upon their bodies expanded, while the wounded witnessed their feathers and wounds mending.

Evidently, the Vermilion Bird Immortal Sect's Vermilion Bird Divine Feather method served not just for protection but also for restoring injuries.
