1105: Chapter 1104 Bombarding the Entrance, a Series of News

Brief exchanges occurred rapidly among the upper echelons via Divine Thought; no one was willing to wait any longer, for delays only invite trouble.

Since Galan had obtained the Legacy and was within the Secret Realm, every passing moment meant she could digest more of the Legacy, further stabilize her Realm, and perhaps even leverage the power of the Secret Realm to find another way to escape.

"We cannot wait any longer!"

An elder in a crimson robe, surrounded by the Law of fire and at the Middle Stage of a Tier 5 Powerhouse, shouted in a deep voice that rang out like a great bell, causing the Void Realm to hum and vibrate.

"The Legacy has been taken, and the phenomenon of the Heavenly Staircase must have exhausted the ten thousand years of energy accumulated by the Secret Realm.

The Secret Realm's defense at this moment is certainly not what it used to be!

Let us join forces to break it, capture and kill that junior, and as for the Legacy and the secrets, each of us shall rely on our own abilities!"

"Fellow Daoist Chihuo is absolutely right!"

Another middle-aged Sword Cultivator, whose body was filled with chilling Sword Qi and who resembled a drawn sharp sword, coldly agreed.

"Could a mere junior who has just obtained the Legacy really stop us with her own strength?"

"The spatial coordinates of the Secret Realm entrance have been roughly locked. Although it is well-hidden, with our combined efforts, we will surely be able to shake it!" a Tier 5 Powerhouse proficient in Formation asserted.

Opinions were quickly unified.

With interests at stake, a temporary alliance was imperative.

The next moment, a terrifying pressure, like a tangible tsunami, rose up from all directions and locked onto that area of the Void Realm!

"Attack!"

The elder Chiyang took the lead. With a spread of his arms, the sky-filling crimson flames transformed into two roaring Dragons of fire, which intertwined and lunged toward a specific point in the Void Realm. Wherever they passed, the space was scorched and twisted out of shape.

The middle-aged Sword Cultivator pointed his fingers like a sword. A cold glint suddenly appeared, immediately transforming into a thousand-foot-long Sword Qi that tore through the heavens and earth. It was silent, yet fast to the extreme, stabbing straight ahead!

"Space-Splitting Cannons, maximum power, fire!"

A commander of a faction piloting a massive interstellar warship shouted orders. The muzzles of several ferocious warships lit up with blinding light, and destructive energy beams converged into a torrent, striking fiercely!

"Mountain-Suppressing Seal, fall!"

"Mysterious Yin True Water, erode!"

"Geng Metal Divine Thunder, explode!"

In an instant, dozens of Tier 5 Powerhouses, along with the war Magical Artifacts and heavy Sect treasures they brought, all launched their attacks simultaneously!

Colorful torrents of various attributes, all containing destructive power, like dozens of roaring evil Dragons, slammed fiercely from different directions into the entrance barrier of the Canglan Secret Realm!

"Rumble—!!!"

An unprecedented roar erupted!

It was a hundred times more violent than any movement during the previous Heavenly Staircase trial!

The entire Star Domain was trembling, the Void Realm was torn with countless fine black cracks, and violent energy turbulence raged and swept through, grinding nearby smaller meteorites directly into powder!

Some nearby Cultivators with insufficient cultivation, even with protection from their elders, were shaken by the aftermath of this terrifying collision, causing their blood to churn, their faces to turn pale, and their eyes to be filled with horror.

Is this the might of Tier 5 Powerhouses joining forces?

It truly has the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth!

However, what made the pupils of all the attackers shrink was that the seemingly empty Void Realm, after enduring such violent concentrated fire, although it shook violently, only rippled with huge, water-like cyan ripples.

A hazy phantom of the Secret Realm was vaguely revealed, but... the entrance had not been forcibly blasted open!

That barrier was tougher than imaginable!

It was not resisting head-on, but rather, in a profound way, continuously discharging, dispersing, and absorbing the energy of the attacks.

As the cyan ripples swayed, it seemed as if the entire Secret Realm world was slightly adjusting, channeling the power into the depths of the Void Realm.

"As expected, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse! The Foundation of the Canglan Secret Realm still remains!"

The elder Chiyang's expression was grave, flames dancing in his eyes. "However, judging by the amplitude of these ripples, its defensive strength is indeed far inferior to before!

Continue attacking! We can exhaust its remaining energy even if it takes time!"

"Correct! It cannot hold on for long!"

"Concentrate on one point, continue bombarding!"

The attacks did not cease; instead, they became denser and more violent.

The Tier 5 Powerhouses each displayed their Divine Abilities, the light of Magic Treasures illuminating the starry sky, and the torrents of energy almost completely submerged that area of the Void Realm.

Inside the Secret Realm, the Hall Spirit, connected to the Origin of the Secret Realm, felt this violent impact immediately.

On the walls of the quiet room, those Dao patterns maintaining the time acceleration flickered slightly, and the acceleration effect experienced an extremely subtle instability.

The Hall Spirit remained expressionless, its hands changing hand seals, mobilizing the energy stored in the Spiritual Vein of the Secret Realm and continuously injecting it into the Secret Realm barrier, especially the defensive nodes at the entrance.

It could clearly "see" that the energy of the barrier was being rapidly consumed.

At this intensity of attack, although it would not be breached in a short time, the energy accumulated by the Secret Realm could not hold out for too long.

It glanced at the depths of the quiet room, at the figure immersed in Cultivation, whose aura was becoming deeper and more powerful with every passing moment.

"Master, the time left for us... might be a little less than expected."

The Hall Spirit whispered silently, then focused more intently on controlling the Secret Realm's defense, while carefully guiding some of the energy dissipated from the attacks toward the Spiritual Vein of the Secret Realm, attempting to perform limited conversion and replenishment.

This was a drop in the bucket, but every moment gained was worth it.

Outside the Secret Realm, the roaring continued unabated, like the drums of doomsday.

Inside the Secret Realm, time was racing against the seconds, waiting quietly for the blade to be unsheathed.

A tug-of-war of offense and defense concerning the Legacy, life and death, and the future was fiercely unfolding amidst these vastly different time flows.

Breaking through this Secret Realm barrier, which had been passed down for ten thousand years, was by no means a one-day task, but the determination and greed of the besiegers were equally as scorching as fire.

And for Galan, who was at the center of the storm, the day she emerged from seclusion would surely determine the course of everything.

At this moment, Li Wuji's Clone, Teacher Hei Ming, reunited with Black Dream. He revealed the aura of a Middle Stage Tier 4 and used this as an excuse to explain why he hadn't reunited earlier.

Bai Luo and Black Forest did not pay too much attention to Li Wuji; although a Middle Stage Tier 4 was not weak, it could not stir up any waves.

...

In the Black Cloud Empire, on a massive warship that resembled a small planet, the Empire's Fourth Marshal, Hei Yan, looked at the projection in front of him with a gloomy expression.

"It has been confirmed that the First Prince is dead, and Wu Zhankong is missing; he must have gone into hiding along with those slaves from before!"

"The Legacy of the Canglan Secret Realm has also been obstructed; it is suspected that the Legacy was obtained by the Sword Fairy—Galan. The Secret Realm has been completely surrounded, and various parties are continuously bombarding the Secret Realm entrance. It will be forcibly breached in one month at the latest."

"Riots have appeared on the edge of the Empire, suspected to be disturbed by some kind of power. The infected will lose their rationality and attack others indiscriminately, and the direction of the spread is moving into the Empire!"

"A Human Race force has appeared near the junction of the Empire, the Hundred Flowers Star Domain, and the Lieyang Star Domain. The team is led by several Tier 4s, and the Hundred Flowers Star Domain and Lieyang Star Domain have already dispatched vanguard fleets."

It should be a previously undiscovered life planet. Judging from the strength of those people, the mining value of that life planet is extremely high.

Our fleet has also set off and is expected to arrive one day earlier than the Hundred Flowers Star Domain and the Lieyang Star Domain."
