Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 541: Going All-Out

The deep and dark space of nothingness, which seemed like there would never be any light, suddenly became lively.

A faint halo appeared somewhere first. It looked like the first ray of sunlight in the dark and instantly became the brightest spot in the dark space.

The space of nothingness was endless, such that none of the Almighty Beings know how boundless it was. Nonetheless, when an unusual situation occurred, powerhouses with power that could reach this area could spot the light.

“A world!”

“A small world...”

“Heh, given how bold they are, there must be forces casting spells to subdue it already. What a pity, what a pity...”

Although many people noticed the unusual situation, nobody dared to meddle in it.

Sure enough, after a brief moment, a thick and enormous light, which was 100 times larger than Multi-armed King Kong, appeared on another side.

The first ray of light only attracted greedy looks, but when the new light shone, most powerhouses’ faces changed, and they immediately began to pry the ongoing situation.

This was because they sensed an unparalleled power from the extensive light.

It was the mightiness of the big formation, which had been stored many years by Mount Wuzhi but was being used by 9 Venerable Ones that joined hands. They forcefully pushed the power to a higher level, hence nobody in the endless space could anyhow mess with it.

The massive light seemed to have senses as it headed straight to the first light.

After sensing this, everyone knew that the two sides had indeed contacted each other beforehand.

Some powerhouses sighed as they were not resigned to the outcome, but after estimating the disparity between their strengths, they gave up wanting to interrupt the process.

Given the situation where one side was well-prepared and the other side suddenly acted, even if they made a move, they would only end up failing.

After traveling for an unknown distance, the colossal light finally arrived at the slowly dimming light and shrouded it without any hesitation.

On the big formation, where it was the Spirit Grade powerhouses such as Ou Yangming, or the Supreme Great Ancestors, they were already panting and seemed like they were going to be exhausted soon.

The formation map was similar to a limitless bottomless pit. Once it was incited, it kept drawing everyone’s powers without an end. When the powers entered the formation and reached a certain level, a unique light was released.

Although the light was not visible through the naked eye, everyone could sense its change.

They knew this was a crucial moment, and they must persevere in releasing their powers no matter what to maintain the light’s intensity, so the powerhouses from the Spiritual Realm could find them. At this moment, if they failed due to someone’s negligence, that person would become everyone’s target and would not be able to live.

As the powerhouses joined hands, they could definitely overturn any force in this realm, but the power required by the formation map was far beyond their expectations.

After only half an hour, the newly-advanced Supreme Great Ancestors felt like they could not hold on anymore. Even though they had stabilized their boundaries, their advancements were done in a hurry as though they were forced to go beyond their abilities. Therefore, they were far from the experienced great ancestors. If the experienced and the new exchanged blows, the outcome might not be clear within a short period, but when their vital spirits were constantly being drawn, everything was different.

The gap between the newly-advanced and the experienced cultivator was clear to see.

“Take your medicine!”

Wu Yuanwei, who was hosting the formation map, was not only providing his power, but he was always keeping an eye on the situation. The moment he saw many Extreme Grade powerhouses at the periphery slowly losing their balance, he knew something was off. The elder yelled as loud as the hum of an ancient bell, causing the people to be refreshed.

Before everyone entered the formation map, the imperial family and the inherited aristocratic families from the 8 counties had made preparations; they retrieved their best pills and distributed them among the people.

Though they did not expect the pills to be used so soon, they would not be stingy if it was needed. This was because they knew if they failed this time, perhaps the other people would be safe and sound, but they would surely be punished by the Spiritual Realm.

The powerhouses from the Spiritual Realm were their backings, and they did not have any other choice if they did not want to lose the favor.

While the scene of 1,000 Extreme Grade powerhouses consuming pills was rather spectacular, on second thought, precious pills worth 1,000 silver notes were devoured, and it was quite a painful loss.

The formation map seemed to be sucking power faster than before.

Extraordinary powers were indeed needed to ignite the light in the void, and the consumption would gradually increase if they wanted to maintain its brightness.

Needless to say, this was also because the people were inadequate and could not meet the requirement in terms of energy usage. If a Venerable One were to host the big formation instead, the situation would be entirely different.

Even so, if a Venerable One really descended to the lower realm, his or her first concern would not be the way to host the formation, but the way to deal with the endless Heavenly Thunderbolts.

After half a day, many Supreme Great Ancestors had consumed 3 spiritual pills.

Only a small part of the spiritual pills was from the families’ collections while the rest were given from the upper realm for this operation. The clans in the lower realm initially thought they might be able to pocket some of the pills, but it seemed like they might not be able to endure much longer even if they used up the ones they had been storing for generations.

Wu Yuanwei inhaled deeply and turned to look at the Spirit Grade powerhouses around him.

At this point, even he felt like he was near his limit. The formation map kept drawing the elder’s power without an end, and given that he was overseeing the operation at the center, he was giving far more than the Supreme Great Ancestors were.

Nevertheless, when he looked at Ou Yangming and his companions, his face darkened a little.

This was because he could tell that they were not even close to being worn out yet.

Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk were channeling their powers too, but their performances amazed Wu Yuanwei. It seemed like the extent of their powers being channeled could not threaten them at all, and they were even staring at each other for fun due to boredom.

The humongous beasts were making threatening gestures at each other by baring their teeth to show fierce expressions. Normally, they could easily frighten Supreme Great Ancestors by doing that.

It was evident from the way they were acting that they were sending their powers with ease.

Wu Yuanwei twitched his mouth and cursed internally, ‘Which idiot amended this formation map? Couldn’t it have been made so that more powers are drawn from those 2 fellas?’

Despite that, he could only think to himself but could not say it out loud.

When he turned to look at Ou Yangming and Big Yellow, he felt extremely helpless.

The 2 of them were not in states more absurd than the king kong’s and the goshawk’s, but they were full of energy and did not show signs of being drained at all.

In particular, the big yellow dog was laying flat on the ground, and it stuck one of its paws in its mouth as if it was subconsciously licking it with joy. On top of that, its eyes were also squinting, making it look like it was going to fall asleep at any time.

Wu Yuanwei briefly sensed and found that Big Yellow’s aura was rich and was not in a mess at all.

What did that mean?

It could only mean that the big yellow dog’s foundation was unimaginably profound. If compared, Wu Yuanwei and the dog were poles apart.

As for Ou Yangming... Wu Yuanwei rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken...’Is he teasing the little red bird on his shoulder?’

Regardless of how Ou Yangming and his companions performed, there was one thing that Wu Yuanwei was certain about; the powers provided by them did not reduce at all. This alone was enough to make the elder speechless.

The only thing that Wu Yuanwei found comfort in was Hong Feiyu’s performance, which was similar to his. The Spirit Grade powerhouse from the upper realm looked grave and seemed like he was giving his all.

Wu Yuanwei glanced around and made sure that nobody was paying attention to him before he secretly retrieved a spiritual pill and swallowed it. A heat flow instantly transformed into rich spiritual power, which flowed in his meridians and slowly recovered his depleted power.

The spiritual pill that he consumed was naturally unordinary. It was given by the Spiritual Realm, and each one was especially precious. He had gathered the pills and initially planned to give them to Ou Yangming and his companions if they became fatigued, but it seemed like they could still hold on even if he consumed all of the pills.

Wu Yuanwei was oddly distressed and indignant when he sensed the surging spiritual power inside his body.

He had cultivated hard for many years and only advanced to Spirit Grade with the support of various powers from the Spiritual Realm.

It was fine that he could not be compared with Multi-armed King Kong and the goshawk, which were powerhouses that came from the Spiritual Realm, but he could not accept the fact that he was not on par with Ou Yangming and the big yellow dog.

‘Ah, all those years, but I still didn’t achieve much as if I’ve been living in a dog’s body...’

Big Yellow, which was refreshing its spirit with its eyes closed, suddenly opened its eyes and glared at Wu Yuanwei. For some reason, it was guided by the formation map and had a mysterious feeling that the elder was cursing it.

‘Hmph, I’ll settle accounts with you next time!’

The big yellow dog closed its eyes again and spat out a piece of lizard’s meat from the space in its stomach. Following that, it gently stabbed the sharp blades on its claws into the meat.

At that instant, the lizard’s meat quickly shrunk, whereas plenty of spiritual power entered its body.

‘Heh, come at me if you want my power. Let’s see if I have more meat or if you’re able to hold on longer.’

Ou Yangming glanced at Wu Yuanwei but minded his own business as he teased the little red bird. The Military Fire in his sea of consciousness was merging with the little bird’s flames through a queer method. Once their fires fused, an endless power was produced, and it seemed like it could not be used up at all.

At the very least, given the speed of the power being drawn, it would indeed not be a concern.

However, just as they were enjoying their time leisurely, a distinctive and forceful power suddenly entered the formation map.

Wu Yuanwei’s eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly, “We’re connected. Let’s work harder; we mustn’t give up halfway...”
