Chapter 167 Reversal
The breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm was never a challenge for Alkaid. Experience more content on empire
If it weren't for his deliberate delaying to level up, he would have broken through when he first obtained the Divine Transformation Pill a few months ago.
No!
If he truly wished to ascend, the experience of a "Merchant" he garnered after fulfilling the order for the 12 Purple Cloud flying swords would have sufficed to max out his "Divine Path" and break through.
But he wanted to take advantage of the still reasonable "human resource costs" to farm as much experience as possible with the "Merchant" profession before they soared.
However, his reputation had been growing rapidly of late. His identity as a Master Artifact Refiner was gradually approaching that of a Grandmaster, and the increase in human resource costs was fast approaching the changes that would come with a realm breakthrough.
He had planned to finish the external orders from the Golden Temple, progress his "Artifact Refining" from Grandmaster to a brand new domain, and accumulate enough to push either his "Martial Path" or "Divine Path" progress from Star Master to Star God, or from Primordial Spirit to Dharma Phase in one fell swoop before breaking through.@@@@
But plans never keep up with changes.
The high-end market for Artifact Refining was always monopolized by Limitless Star Palace.
The performance of his swords, which closely rivaled the Superior Grade spirit swords of the Fourth Generation, had significantly encroached upon Limitless Starlight's market share in spiritual artifacts. Plus, the Limitless Star Palace had just absorbed the Quicksand Sect and was already hunting for fresh prey to target—and naturally...
Shifted their gaze towards Nine Cauldrons Sect.
Alkaid was a target, but not the only one.
The oppressive presence of the Patrol Heaven Warship forced Alkaid to finally make a choice.
He poured all his "experience" into the "Divine Path" branch.
Even though he would have preferred the "Martial Path" branch, which gave a greater sense of personal security.
But in the given situation...
He could only rely on the power of the Primordial Spirit honed through his "Divine Path" to break the deadlock.
...
"This should be possible."
Alkaid sensed the mystique that radiated from his newly advanced Primordial Spirit.
Taiyuan Divine Refining Art.
It was already a Divine Refinement technique adept at multitasking, with strong stability and resistance to interference.
Perhaps it didn't give instant perception over hundreds of miles like other Divine Refining Arts, nor had strong interference capabilities upon breakthrough. Taiyuan Divine Refining Art leaned more towards defense...
Yet, when combined with his innate talent "Divine King," the effect was heightened.
...
Minutes later.
The western formation node of Dragon Majestic City faces the Patrol Heaven Warship.
Sword lights streak across the sky, converging outside the formation node.
Three figures descend directly.
"I am Zhao He. Sword Cultivators, follow my command."
"I am Fang Jie. Technique Cultivators, I'll be directing you."
"I am Xu Kong. Divine Cultivators, I'm in charge."
"Good."
Alkaid's gaze sweeps over the three.
Including the familiar Zhao He.
"Time is tight, so I'll skip the formalities. Everyone, launch another round of attacks. But this time, I want everyone's Divine Sense, Divine Consciousness, including the attacks later, to follow my lead and be governed by me."
No sooner had Alkaid finished speaking than he demonstrated his power of Primordial Spirit. A strong Divine Consciousness instantly enveloped the hundreds of Great Cultivators present, guiding their divine senses and consciousnesses to fuse into a unified whole.
This enhancement...
This transformation...
Not only the Great Cultivators but even Alkaid himself felt a surge of awe.
"My God, I'm so strong!"
"It's not just you who's strong, we're all strong!"
"So this is what we can achieve when we coordinate our forces seamlessly...?"
"Fellow disciples, I want to go kill Golden Cores! Anyone with me?"
"No, go away! Scram!"
Powerful!
Unprecedentedly powerful!
So powerful that the morale and confidence of everyone rose to an unprecedented peak in an instant.
Just then, at the edge of the sky, the Limitless Star Palace's Patrol Heaven Warship, a kilometer in diameter and shrouded in countless formations, burst through the clouds at supersonic speed, kicking up a visible violent airwave, and appeared within the "perception" of everyone.
On the warship.
Qiao Man, acting as the captain, showed a hint of amusement on her face, "It seems they plan to hold out using the formations of Dragon Majestic City?"
"According to the data we have, it seems that the city's formations are of the same level as the capital's Nine Heavens City and, due to being deployed for longer, operate more maturely than those of Nine Heavens City," the lieutenant replied.
"No matter how mature they are, they are just early generation formations. We have already warned them, and since they have chosen to be obstinate..."
Qiao Man rose from her captain's chair, looking through the bridge at the distant city shimmering with flowing light, and issued a direct command, "Order the attack, and crush them!"
...
Almost at the same time.
"Everyone, heed my command!"
Alkaid's Divine Sense spread instantly to the mind of each Great Cultivator through this coordination.
"We're listening, Chief Alkaid, give the order!"
"My sword hungers for battle!"
"Ready at all times!"
In the convergence of Divine Sense and Divine Consciousness, the Cultivators immediately responded.
Each one was full of fighting spirit, their will to battle soaring to the heavens.
"Good! Divine Cultivators lead the way! Divine Sense Storm! Strike!"
"Sword Cultivators attack! Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation Sword Formation! Break through their defenses!"
"Technique Cultivators as the backbone, Yin Yang clash, Annihilating Purple Light! Slay the enemy!"
The three orders were almost simultaneously conveyed to each Great Cultivator.
The next moment, a Divine Sense Storm of unchanged mass, yet unprecedentedly orderly, instantly spanned the three-hundred-li gap between them and the Patrol Heaven Warship.
Since the Patrol Heaven Warship had also received the attack order,
At the same time, it unleashed an equally powerful Divine Sense Storm, which immediately collided with this force of Divine Sense.
However, unlike the initial scene of mutual annihilation, this time...
The Divine Sense that erupted from the Limitless Star Palace's Patrol Heaven Warship was like waves crashing against a rock, instantly shattered into spray.
As it crushed the opposing Divine Sense interference and resistance, the Divine Sense Storm directly hammered the Patrol Heaven Warship.
In an instant, countless formations aboard the Patrol Heaven Warship experienced delays, and numerous Sword and Technique Cultivators' thoughts were disrupted, as if illusions appeared before their eyes.
The entire Patrol Heaven Warship seemed to pause for a beat, completely stunned by this sudden and far stronger impact than before.
