91: Desperate Counterattack and the Thunderous "Foundation Building"

Under the crazy attacks of Bloody Fierce, the 'Five Elements Bewilderment' was like a small boat in a storm, shaking violently, its light flickering as if it would shatter at any second.

Wen Youyi's face was as pale as paper, and a trace of blood even leaked from the corner of his mouth; maintaining such a large-scale Domain Formation was a huge burden on his Mental Energy and Qi.

Although the War Hall Disciples at the valley entrance were still resisting hard, their Talismans and Qi were being consumed rapidly.

Facing enemies far superior in number and quality, their defensive line began to retreat step by step, and casualties began to appear.

'Boss! Hold on! We're here!'

Just at this critical moment, Zhao Iron Pillar's thunderous roar, accompanied by earth-shaking footsteps, came from the direction of the back mountain!

Zhao Iron Pillar took the lead, like a human Vicious Beast, bringing the members of the guerrilla squad, descending like heavenly soldiers, fiercely inserting into the side and rear of the Blood Fiend Cult army!

They had been guerrilla fighting outside for days and were already filled with rage; seeing their home being besieged, their eyes turned red.

Zhao Iron Pillar disregarded any Formation Domain, swung that door-sized heavy black iron sword, and with an unstoppable Aura, rushed directly into the range of 'Five Elements Bewilderment'!

Strangely, the sticky sensation and interference that plagued the Blood Fiend Cult seemed to have minimal effect on Zhao Iron Pillar and the others.

They were already familiar with the energy fluctuations of the 'ark' network, and with Wen Youyi's intentional control, the Formation provided them more support than obstruction!

'Get out of my way!' Zhao Iron Pillar roared, and his heavy sword swept across, carrying a terrifying gale, directly smashing two evil cultivators who couldn't dodge in time, along with their Magical Artifacts, into meat paste!

He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and everywhere he went, people were overturned!

The other members of the guerrilla squad were like agile leopards, specifically targeting those evil cultivators and Blood Puppets who were disturbed by the Formation and slow in movement.

They cooperated tacitly, struck ruthlessly, and instantly tore a hole in the chaotic flank of the Blood Fiend Cult!

This sudden fresh force instantly changed the situation of the battlefield!

The Blood Fiend Cult was attacked from front and back, their Formation in chaos.

The front was troubled by 'Five Elements Bewilderment' and various small Five Elements traps, and the rear was turned upside down by Zhao Iron Pillar's elite squad.

'Steady! Everyone, stay steady for this seat!' Bloody Fierce's eyes were splitting; he didn't expect the opponent to have such an elite squad ambushed outside!

What shocked him even more was that this squad seemed completely unaffected by that weird Formation!

He knew he couldn't drag this out; he had to finish the battle quickly!

'Wen Youyi! Come here and die!' Bloody Fierce gave up attacking the Formation, and a blood-red escape light rose into the sky, locking onto Wen Youyi who had been standing on high ground maintaining the Formation!

As long as he killed this core, the Formation would break itself!

The terrifying pressure of Half-step Foundation Establishment enveloped Wen Youyi like a physical entity!

'Protect the boss!' Wang Wu roared, and along with Senior Brother Li, Senior Brother Zhang, and others, they charged towards Wen Youyi's position without hesitation, attempting to intercept.

But the gap between them and a Half-step Foundation Establishment was too great!

With a casual wave of Bloody Fierce's hand, a condensed blood-colored claw shadow blasted them away, vomiting blood!

Wen Youyi watched the fast-approaching Bloody Fierce, feeling that suffocating pressure, and his heart module almost jumped out of his chest.

His Mental Energy was almost exhausted, and his Qi was nearly gone; he was simply unable to resist!

Could it be... was he going to die here?

No! Absolutely not!

A flash of madness crossed his eyes, and he violently gripped the star core fragment in his palm!

He was no longer using Mental Energy to guide it, but attempting to forcibly extract that vast and primitive Star Power from within!

'Hum—!'

The star core fragment suddenly erupted with blinding silver light!

A vast amount of energy, far exceeding Wen Youyi's capacity, like a burst dam, instantly surged into his limbs and bones!

'Puff!' Wen Youyi spat out a large mouthful of blood, feeling as if his body was about to be blown apart by this force!

A tearing pain came from his Meridians!

But he ignored it, using this external force to forcibly maintain the 'Five Elements Bewilderment' that was about to collapse.

At the same time, he mixed that violent Star Power with his remaining will, turning it into an extremely condensed silver beam of light, and struck it fiercely at the rushing Bloody Fierce!

'Stop... for me!'

This strike exhausted all his strength and exceeded his current Realm limit!

Bloody Fierce felt the pure Star Power contained in that silver beam, which made his Soul tremble, and his expression finally changed!

He dared not take it head-on, stopped his figure urgently, and drew a blood-colored vortex with both hands in front of his chest, attempting to swallow and dissolve it!

'Boom—!!!'

The silver beam of light collided fiercely with the blood-colored vortex, making an earth-shattering sound!

The violent energy shockwave spread to the surroundings, directly shaking the nearby evil cultivators and Blood Puppets into powder!

Bloody Fierce groaned, his figure staggering backward; although he received this blow, his Qi and blood were churning, and it was not pleasant.

He looked in horror at the green-robed youth who was teetering but still standing.

This child... must not be left alive!

However, just as he prepared to strike again and completely finish Wen Youyi—

A strange change occurred again!

In the sky, the originally sunny weather suddenly became covered with dark clouds!

Thick leaden clouds gathered at a speed visible to the naked eye, streaks of silver snakes shuttled through the clouds, and a vast, awe-inspiring Heavenly Tribulation locked onto Bloody Fierce below!

'This... this is...'

Bloody Fierce was stunned at first, then a look of ecstasy and disbelief appeared on his face!

Foundation Establishment Heavenly Tribulation!

The Foundation Establishment opportunity he dreamed of was actually triggered by mistake by Wen Youyi's strike containing the Origin of Star Power during this intense battle!

He had been stuck at Half-step Foundation Establishment for many years and had long reached the critical point of Breakthrough, only missing a trigger.

Wen Youyi's Star Power strike, which surpassed his Realm, happened to be the final catalyst!

'Hahaha! Heaven helps me!' Bloody Fierce looked up and laughed wildly, no longer caring about Wen Youyi, putting all his attention on the upcoming Heavenly Tribulation!

As long as he survived this tribulation, he would be a true Foundation Establishment great cultivator, and crushing Wen Youyi and this Lijian Valley would be as easy as pie!

Inside and outside Lijian Valley, everyone was stunned by this sudden change in celestial phenomena!

The battle paused strangely.

The Blood Fiend Cult people were surprised and happy, retreating one after another, fearing being affected by the Heavenly Tribulation.

On the Lijian Valley side, everyone looked pale.

A Half-step Foundation Establishment Bloody Fierce was already hard for them to resist; if he succeeded in Foundation Establishment... that would be a true catastrophe!

Wen Youyi knelt on the ground, exhausted, looking at the tribulation clouds brewing terrifying lightning in the sky, and then at the ecstatic Bloody Fierce, his heart felt cold.

Could it be... that he had fought with everything he had, only to accelerate the arrival of destruction?

Just then, the star core fragment in his arms sent another faint palpitation, and a more urgent and clearer thought flooded into his mind, from that 'Co-frequency Person':

[...Chance... Lightning Tribulation... interfere with 'web weaving'... short 'blind spot'... destroy its... core...]

A chance?

Lightning Tribulation interfering with 'web weaving'?

Blind spot?

Wen Youyi looked up suddenly, looking at the thundercloud in the sky that contained destruction and vitality, and an extremely risky plan instantly formed in his mind!
