The strike condensed the essence of nearly a thousand demons, instantly diminishing the ranks of the demon side. The attack solidified into a tangible form, a creature that was neither fully demon nor fully monster appeared above the Twelve Disciples, bearing down on the Zodiac Twelve Palaces with immense force.
Layers of defenses outside the formation were breached one after another, and within the formation, the Twelve Disciples felt as if struck by lightning. Here, there was not only the pressure of sheer power but also a clash of attributes. The Zodiac Twelve Palaces stood as a beacon against all darkness; conversely, darkness was equally a nemesis to light.
In a similar Great Formation, the Zodiac also transformed into a golden humanoid figure that engaged in battle with the Blood Burning Immortal Formation.
Every formation has its spirit, and particularly powerful formations demand increasingly higher standards from their spirits. The combat of a transformed formation spirit rivals that of experts in the Endless Cycle Realm.
What is eternal calamity?
It does not refer to those in this Realm having to endure ten thousand tribulations; rather, it signifies an irretrievable state, where one cannot cross over calamities or exist again. Those within this Realm are unafraid of death; if they are, they are anomalies among them. Every event is a test for them. Their every word and action influences their Great Dao.
Generally, individuals from the Endless Cycle Realm do not appear; instead, they enter closed-door cultivation. The less they engage with the world and its causes and effects, the more significant it is for those in the Endless Cycle Realm.
The battle between both sides was fiercely contested at close quarters, with countless streams of spiritual energy, demonic aura, and magical power dispersing around them.
Yao Qingmu was particularly resolute, merging into the Blood Burning Immortal Formation's spirit, becoming its essence. This made the entire Blood Burning Immortal Formation take on a physical form.
The shadowy Fengnu Hao and Demonic Flame swirled in the air. The Blood Burning Immortal Formation seemed to come alive, its massive maw directly swallowing the Zodiac Twelve Palaces.
This was one of the subtleties of the Blood Burning Immortal Formation. It was originally created in ancient times to eradicate immortals; although its power had diminished significantly since then, it was still sufficient for the present.
The golden radiance enveloping the exterior of the Zodiac Twelve Palaces was visibly eroded at an alarming rate. However, Yao Qingmu had to pay a tremendous price; numerous War Department troops were drawn into the Great Formation, transforming into its essence and enhancing its power. This significantly alleviated the pressure on the Tiger Soul War Division outside.
In light of this situation, Zuo Dao remained unfazed. If this had been ancient times when demon kings deployed the Blood Burning Immortal Formation, he would have fled without hesitation. But now! Yao Qingmu was merely newly ascended as a demon king; these great demons could not pose a threat to Yan Zhen and his companions.
A large array of materials was summoned forth. The Mechanics Student had already regained vitality with his medicinal assistance and was forming a defensive formation around them under his guidance.
Refining tools?
No one expected Zuo Dao to do something like this at that moment. Various materials were being melted down by Zuo Dao, all for the sake of the most essential existence. In just a few breaths, the massive pile of materials was completely refined by him, and the speed alone left Snow Red Swallow in awe.
The Great Dao is interconnected; whether it be pills, tools, or formations, they all originate from the same source, transforming external materials for one's own use. Once all the materials were refined, Zuo Dao summoned the Tiger Battle Division back.
Although everyone was puzzled, they had no choice but to follow Zuo Dao's arrangements. The Twelve Holy Sons were all his subordinates, and they had no right to oppose him. Jiang Yuqi understood that Zuo Dao would not act without confidence, so he tacitly accepted the situation.
However, when the Great Dao received Zuo Dao's message, they were all stunned.
Cultivation!
What was going on? But Zuo Dao did not allow them to hesitate for long.
The Great Dream Hammer Technique was activated.
With a single strike, aside from the Human Cultivator, every Demon Clan member in the void trembled at the sound of the first Hammer Sound. Even the Blood Burning Immortal Formation was affected, nearly causing its formation spirit to collapse under the impact of the Hammer Sound.
Powerful! Such overwhelming force rivaled a full-force strike from a master of the Endless Cycle Realm. Countless demons spat blood and flew backward; although there was no physical damage where the sound waves passed, every demon struck by the sound waves was injured.
All the materials transformed in shape with each Hammer Sound.
At this moment, Zuo Dao unleashed his full combat power. He had never refined so many magical treasures at once on such a large scale. His Celestial Soul opened wide as he focused entirely on these materials.
With each resounding Hammer Sound, the same situation occurred. The charging Demon Clan members were all dealt with by Chen Fei, while the Zodiac Twelve Palaces seemed to be infused with a powerful force, slowly beginning to fight back.
Using the formation to trap, this was Yao Qingmu's plan. He intended to use the Blood Burning Immortal Formation to erase and extinguish the entire Zodiac Twelve Palaces. The power of formations varied—ten-person formations, hundred-person formations, thousand-person formations, and ten-thousand-person formations all had their own strengths. Yao Qingmu believed that the mere twelve-person formation set up by the opponent was absolutely insufficient compared to the nearly ten thousand people he had deployed with glass powder. However, the opponent seemed to be growing stronger in battle, and there were faint signs that the Blood Burning Immortal Formation could not contain them.
He needed more flesh and blood; he needed more souls to empower the Great Formation. Only then would it be possible to kill the opponent's Saint Child.
A long howl erupted from his mouth.
Every demon that heard his howl rushed into the Great Formation like moths drawn to a flame.
He no longer had time to care about what Zuo Dao was doing, which also gave Zuo Dao more time.
Aside from the Twelve Disciples, every Human Cultivator was inspired by Zuo Dao's Hammer Sound, sitting down to begin their comprehension. The Great Dream Hammer Sound truly enhanced not their strength, but their Realm—their understanding of the Dao.
Everyone present had a great need for spiritual power; it was their own understanding of the Dao that was constraining them. Zuo Dao happened to be an expert in this area. His Great Dream Heart Sutra was essentially an invincible cheat.
All the Cultivators became immersed in a state of cultivation, entering deep comprehension.
What Zuo Dao was doing not only elevated their internal Realm but also prepared them for their external strength.
One by one, magical treasures appeared from his hands like flowing water. If one paid attention, they would notice that he was crafting a complete set of equipment. However, this set of equipment was standardized; thousands of sets appeared on the battlefield. This had never happened before.
With Yao Qingmu's Realm, he could certainly see the differences in these pieces of equipment. If his Squad possessed such gear, they would undoubtedly be invincible on the Starry Battlefield.
After expending a large amount of materials, he finally produced finished products, though it had already been over an hour.
Everyone remained in their state of comprehension; Zuo Dao did not wake them but instead waved his hand. Each set of equipment floated as if held by unseen hands and placed before everyone. As soon as they awoke, they could don it and charge into battle.
This could be considered a compensation from Zuo Dao to them.
The demons roared, emitting a piercing sound, as countless vengeful spirits and wraiths surrounded Yan Zhen and the others, relentlessly attacking. With each strike, the Twelve Disciples trembled.
Human strength is limited. Moreover, they were up against the notorious Blood Burning Immortal Formation, known for its brutality, coldness, and ruthlessness. In ancient times, it gained infamy for slaughtering countless immortals.
The Twelve Disciples were on the defensive, yet they moved like hunters poised to strike, constantly darting through the Blood Burning Immortal Formation.
If this battle were taking place on solid ground instead of in the starry sky, countless mountains would have been flattened, and vast expanses of land shattered by immense force.
Even so, wherever the dual formations passed, there was nothing but void. Everything was obliterated before the overwhelming power of destruction.
A torrent of blood energy surged across the battlefield.
Yan Zhen's resolve hardened further; as long as Zuo Dao could hold out for two hours, they could turn the tide of battle.
Countless pills were tossed into the mouths of the Twelve Disciples as if they were mere candies, some even expelled before they had a chance to digest.
Under Yan Zhen's deliberate diversion, Yao Qingmu indeed abandoned his attack on Zuo Dao and the War Department group... and began to focus entirely on eliminating the Saint Child before him.
Among the Twelve Disciples, only Do Not Delay had been entrusted with the role of protector, becoming their shield. Meanwhile, Sorrowful White Hair had transformed into a spear for Zodiac Ten Palaces.
The combination of offense and defense made Yao Qingmu feel somewhat troubled.
Just as the surface was about to be shattered, distant points of light suddenly illuminated the sky.
Once again, the Spatial Teleportation Array was activated. However, Zuo Dao was now beyond anyone's ability to stop.
In that case, let me kill with abandon. Without a second thought, Zuo Dao charged directly toward the enemy's formation. Tiger Soul and Ling Jian, two members of the War Department, also awakened at this moment, and the first thing they saw was the equipment before them.
Though it was standard gear, every eager Cultivator who donned it immediately broke into ecstatic smiles. It had been enhanced; these pieces of equipment possessed such incredible capabilities. Truly powerful!
The might of the Blood Burning Immortal Formation at this time was enough to look down upon the world. The activation of the Spatial Teleportation Array significantly boosted Yao Qingmu's confidence.
Sure enough, as the area expanded to the size of a gate, waves of Demon Army troops appeared in front of them.
On the battlefield, Yao Qingmu could not be considered a competent commander. It was clear that these Alien Races needed more time to create something of their own.
What Zuo Dao possessed most was not their own spiritual power but their physical strength. With his formidable inner strength, Zuo Dao plunged into the midst of the Alien Race crowd, making a name for himself. Under his iron fists, no one could withstand a single blow.
At this moment, Yao Qingmu was also under immense pressure. In order to quickly eliminate the opposing Saint Child, he recklessly sent wave after wave of Squads into battle. Even the ancient monsters from Supreme Academy's Endless Cycle Realm dared not confront the Blood Burning Immortal Formation head-on. Only a madman like Zuo Dao could accomplish such a feat.
More Alien Races appeared on the battlefield, and this disturbance finally caught the attention of Supreme Academy. Upon inquiry, they learned that the Twelve Holy Sons and others had already fallen here; however, there was still no sign of life or movement.
Zuo Dao threw punches with great seriousness—sometimes heavy, sometimes light; sometimes simple, sometimes complex. He aimed to solidify his cultivation in the shortest time possible. Although he did not experience any regression in his realm, it was still wise to remain cautious.
