Chapter 1670: The Real Hunter Pt.7

With the formation of the Jianmen Elysium, the Elysium Grand Formation around the Spirit Luxuriant World was completed. The combined might of 9 Elysiums not only increased the maximum power of their grand formation, but it also increased the number of activations of the grand formation from 2 to 3.

Although it was just 1 additional strike, it was crucial at a life-or-death moment that would make Zhuo Gudao a little more hesitant to attack.

However... The 2 high-level Elysium True Immortals felt no excitement.

"What a shame. If our Elysiums didn’t feed most of the energy in our reserves back to the World Origin Source, will our grand formation only be able to launch 3 strikes?” Li Jidao expressed his frustration.

"There's no doubt. True Immortal Little Shang from the Tongyou Institution fell for their schemes! If we didn’t weaken our Elysiums collectively, Zhuo Gudao wouldn’t have dared to descend." Zhang Xuansheng added. Even though he was someone who usually thought things through and was the most reliable among them, the hint of complaint in his tone couldn’t be hidden.

"It's useless to talk about this now. Since we couldn't stop him from starting the ascension process before, and now that we face a formidable enemy, we can only fight to the death. There's no way we can surrender without a fight," Yang Taihe sighed with resignation. However, he was also filled with determination to not go down without a fight.

These centuries-old True Immortals naturally had their wisdom and principles.

"Alright, let's proceed as we agreed before. I'll take the first strike and unleash our Seventh Tier energy. Brother Yang will go next. I’ll handle the third again. If Zhuo Gudao still continues the assault, we’ll have to resort to destroying several Elysiums to launch the fourth strike.” Zhang Xuansheng regained his composure, reverting to his usual calm demeanor.

Li Jidao opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he said nothing, his eyes showing a hint of shame.

But soon, he had no time for shame.

Just as Zhuo Gudao was getting acquainted with his surroundings in the plane's spatial void, at the edge of the void, opposite his location, another powerful aura descended, signaling the arrival of another Sage.

Even the usually composed Zhang Xuansheng and Yang Taihe showed signs of despair.

"How can a second Sage appear?" Li Jidao wailed.

What they didn't know was that Zhuo Gudao, who had arrived earlier, seemed unsurprised by the arrival of the second Sage. Instead of attacking the Spirit Luxuriant World immediately, he remained in his place as though he were waiting for something.

Could it be that another Sage was about to arrive?

When Zhang Xuansheng, who had started to harness the Seventh Tier energy from the Elysium Grand Formation, realized that both Zhuo Gudao and the newly arrived mysterious Sage were not moving, his first thought was exactly that!

Subsequent events proved his guess was all too accurate.

A vast and sharp aura of yet another Sage pierced through the chaotic streams. Upon entering the space around the Spirit Luxuriant World, it cut nearly hundreds of thousands of miles into the space around the world.

Not just Zhang Xuansheng, but also Yang Taihe and Li Jidao, who were preparing to give it their all, sensed the faintly emerging threat from deep in the void.

"How could there be more?" Li Jidao felt all his efforts were in vain. He was almost ready to give up resisting.

"Looks like these Sages are really ready to devour our world..." Yang Taihe spoke through clenched teeth, his tone revealing a do-or-die determination.

As he spoke, he glared at Li Jidao. He seemed about to scold him, but then felt it was no longer necessary.

Outside the chaotic streams of the Spirit Luxuriant World, Yuan Chan looked at the void that had been split open without showing signs of regenerating silently. After some time, he approached Xiong Xin. “That Sage should be...”

Xiong Xin was still staring at the seemingly closing, yet actually inwardly collapsing cascade of chaos. He nodded subconsciously.

He quickly recovered from his daze before turning to Yuan Chan. He asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter? Isn’t that existence supporting you guys going to descend?”

Yuan Chan instinctively turned to look behind him, “Sage Yuan Ping of the Essence Hong World isn’t as powerful as the Sage supporting you guys. He might not be willing to waste energy and send a clone over.”

Xiong Xin nodded in understanding. He turned to another direction in the void, as though he could see the Spirit Luxuriant World behind. “In that case... That would mean that there are 3 Sages involved in this operation, right?”

Yuan Chan chuckled, “Did you sense another one?”

Xiong Xin couldn’t help but laugh, "My Spirit Abundance World is closest to the Essence Ping World. With another world in our Heaven Observation Field trying to ascend, it would be strange if the Star Origin Lord were indifferent to this.”

Yuan Chan nodded before sighing, “The Spirit Luxuriant World is in deep shit this time. If only Zhuo Gudao had gone, they might have been able to avoid their fate of being struck down from a Spirit World. With 3 Sages... The Spirit Luxuriant World might be blown apart with no hope of ever recovering!”

Xiong Xin shook his head, feeling a sense of pity for those in the Spirit Luxuriant World. “It’s a shame... True Immortal Shang and Kou Chongxue should be the greatest talents born in our Heaven Observation Field in the past 1,000 years. However, a reckless decision doomed them... Let this be a lesson for us...”

Yuan Chen seemed to think of something, and as he nodded, his expression slowly turned grave.

It was also then that the chaotic streams around the Spirit Luxuriant World erupted. The space that was cut through by the powerful sword qi earlier erupted. A powerful shockwave spread for tens of thousands of miles.

The next moment, the True Immortals of the various Spirit Worlds who had distanced themselves from the Spirit Luxuriant World, even escaping far beyond their chaotic streams, felt the void trembling.

A long whistle escaped Xiong Xin’s lips. “Looks like the 3 Sages have begun to split up the Spirit Luxuriant World. Compared to mere pawns like us, they are the true hunters!”
