Chapter 725 The Collapse of Heaven (Together)
Kunxu has five levels.
On the battlefield of the God Transformation Realm.
Clusters of dreamlike nebulae enveloped the entire boundless battlefield.
The Nascent Soul stage cultivators from both the Ten Schools and the Righteous Alliance have been locked in a fierce battle, their conflict so intense that it has shaken heaven and earth and shattered mountains and rivers. Both sides constantly calculate each other's actions, continuously revise their optimal battle strategies, and constantly adapt to the changes in the other's tactics.
The two battle camps, composed of several Nascent Soul Divine Lords, operated with efficient information exchange and coordination, much like two powerful warriors constantly changing their moves and tactics, exploiting their own weaknesses, and relentlessly attacking the weaknesses of their opponent.
Operational objectives, operational methods, and operational styles... can be said to be constantly evolving and changing.
If cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage were to participate, they would likely struggle to handle the massive amount of information received and processed on the battlefield, and would be completely unable to keep up with the battle pace of the Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
In such a constantly changing battlefield that can easily affect thousands of miles, uncontrolled weather and various weather-related fines have become commonplace.
Various magical treasures, magical remains, puppets... were constantly being smashed to pieces, often falling down like rain.
Every now and then, buildings and factories would spring up from the ground, and under the control of the Divine Lord, materials would be collected on the spot to produce equipment.
The emergence of these temporary buildings and production lines often sparks a struggle, and in repeated battles, they are either destroyed or abandoned due to high maintenance costs.
In this battle, the resources consumed every minute and every second, if converted into spirit coins, would be enough to shock the world.
Amidst this fierce battle, the Evil Lotus God from the Heavenly Demon University could feel his condition deteriorating.
Lord Nielian's gaze swept over the eye skeleton, which displayed his current data.
Less than 30% of the magical artifacts remain, over 60% of the magical remains are damaged, and even with the reserve mana, less than 500,000 mana is left...
His gaze swept over the nebula not far away, and his thoughts had already crossed the spirit realm to communicate with the other Nascent Soul cultivators: Everyone, have you come up with a way to break the formation?
Although the many Nascent Soul Divine Lords had severed their connection with the spirit world below the fifth level after the celestial dome was sealed off, they could still exchange information at ultra-high speed through the spirit world of the fifth level of Kunxu, and with the help of their own numerous magical treasures to stabilize the spirit world signal.
At this moment, in the group called "Sharing the Same Boat", messages from Nascent Soul cultivators kept flooding in, like a waterfall, sharing battlefield information.
As soon as the Evil Lotus God Lord uttered these words, the Wise Pan God Lord of Vajra University sighed: This Zhou Tian Milky Way Formation is a strategic-level immortal formation. How easy is it to break out of the formation?
At the request of Qingmu God, this Zhipan God personally shaped Zhang Yu's Nascent Soul, and the Nascent Soul he shaped was considered the best among the ten schools, making his cultivation level among the top among the many Gods.
Even he, in this nearly two-month-long battle to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, has changed his main battle body eight times, and is now using the last spare main battle body.
At this moment, he became increasingly pessimistic about the situation.
The Divine Lord Yufeng from Tianjian University said: "Based on our investigations over this period, the Heavenly Galaxy Array spans the entire battlefield this week, with a total of 360 nodes. It serves as both a great array to trap us and a key to detonating the fifth layer."
Although Yu Feng Shenjun had a large chunk of flesh cut off by Zhang Yu's fingertip last time, and lost one of his disciples to bear the infamy, he still managed to secure the order for Tai Xu Flying Thunder.
So before attacking the fourth and fifth floors, he brought with him a lot of the Void Flying Thunder he produced himself.
In the nearly two months of fierce fighting, these Void Flying Thunders have been of great help to him, allowing him to be in the upper-middle level among the many Nascent Soul cultivators, and giving him much more say.
The Divine Lord Yufeng said: "These rebels went to great lengths to set up this formation; they were clearly premeditated and well-prepared."
Yu Feng Shenjun: Our hasty attack was a trap we fell into, resulting in our huge losses.
Qingming Divine Lord of Wanfa University: Yu Feng, tell me something you don't know, instead of just being sarcastic.
Yu Feng Shenjun: I'm just telling the truth. If someone hadn't broken through the sky without warning and urged everyone to attack the fifth level, how would we have ended up here?
Thousand Puppet God Lord of Immortal Soldier University: During the meeting, I kept saying we weren't prepared enough. What was the rush? Even if they blew up the fifth floor, so what? Knowing there were traps up there, they still insisted on charging up. Now look what happened, we're all trapped here!
The Thousand Puppet God Lord sighed: "Magnetic Pole, you're a master at crafting weapons, but when it comes to warfare, you're a complete novice. You fell for such a simple trick."
Azure Netherworld God: Hmph, Thousand Puppet, I noticed you weren't complaining this much when you were stealing things. Now that the situation is unfavorable, you're causing trouble all day long. Are you also thinking of surrendering to the Righteous Alliance?
Looking at the constantly updated messages in the "Sharing the Same Boat" group, Magnetism God sneered inwardly, knowing that these old guys were just using this as an excuse to put her and Lao Gao under more pressure in the upcoming battle.
Just then, Lord Nielin brought the topic back: "Alright everyone, you can't win an argument against the Righteous Alliance."
Lord of the Evil Lotus: We have already located the approximate positions of the 360 array nodes. As long as we can break them one by one, we can unlock the great array.
Principal Po Yao Shenjun of Tianjian University: Difficult, all 360 nodes are arranged outside the formation.
Broken Radiance (Demon) God: Unfortunately, this Zhou Tian Milky Way Formation is specifically designed to trap people. It's easy to enter but difficult to leave. Not only is it difficult for us to get out, but even those Nascent Soul cultivators from the Righteous Alliance have a hard time getting out after entering the formation.
Yu Feng Shenjun: Even if they can't get out, the Righteous Alliance's production lines and companies continuously provide them with mana, magical remains, pills... to be thrown into the formation to replenish various war losses, while we only consume and don't replenish!
Yu Feng Shenjun: If this continues, they will wear us down to death!
Lord Nielian sighed and said, "Has your Heavenly Sword University found a way to overcome the obstacles and communicate with the lower levels? If you can get people from below to come up and break this great formation from the outside, the situation will be easily resolved."
Yu Feng Divine Lord: Over the past two months, through continuous efforts to decipher the formation, we were finally able to send messages outside the array and observe the situation outside the array, and then search for those 360 nodes. This has already been extremely difficult.
Yu Feng Divine Lord: If we still need to traverse the two layers of the sky between the third, fourth, and fifth layers, it would be impossible to achieve any results in less than a year and a half.
Upon hearing this, Lord Nielian sighed inwardly. A year and a half? By then, everything would have been settled long ago.
On the other side, the Thousand Puppet God-King of Immortal Soldier University said: "Even if we made contact, so what? After being out of contact for so long, without our central command and direction, the situation below is probably already in complete chaos."
Thousand Puppet God: At this moment, they have probably either been defeated one by one by the Righteous Alliance, or they have already split up and retreated, all of them have already run away.
Yu Feng Divine Lord: Even if they're still alive, what use is receiving our message if they haven't mastered powerful spatial technology and can't break through the heavens? They simply can't get up here.
Looking at the constantly refreshing messages in the group, Magnet God thought to himself, "Yu Feng, Qian Kui... what kind of tricks are these two up to now? Spreading rumors and misleading the public here."
Sensing that the morale in the group was being affected, Magnetism God pondered for a moment and immediately decided to say something to boost confidence and morale.
Magnet Lord: Everyone, there are still some people below who have mastered advanced spatial technology. Their level is even comparable to mine. With them here, we will surely be able to break through the heavens.
Upon hearing these words, Lord Nielian immediately perked up and asked: Who?
Magnetism God: My disciple, Candlelight True Lord, Zhang Yu
Some people don't believe it: How deep can spatial technology be mastered by Zhang Yu, a cultivator who broke through to the Nascent Soul stage less than a year ago?
Yu Feng Divine Lord said: "Magnetic Extreme Divine Lord, I know you want to boost everyone's morale, but such nonsense is probably more harmful than helpful."
Magnetism God simply released the evidence, saying: "Actually, Zhang Yu participated in the development of the Boundary-Breaking Cone as early as its development."
Magnetism God: Without Zhang Yu, I couldn't have created the Boundary-Breaking Cone. Later, when developing the Great Void Cloud Treasury, Zhang Yu worked with me from beginning to end.
Aoki Shinjun: I can testify that what the magnetic poles said is true.
Magnet Lord: Zhang Yu has not only cultivated Kunlun in his palm to level 40, but has also gained some insights from the spatial technology of the Righteous Alliance. As long as we hold on a little longer, he will surely be able to break through the heavens.
To be honest, even Magnet God wasn't sure if Zhang Yu could ultimately achieve that.
However, given the current situation, the Magnetic God is willing to believe it and hopes that this intelligence can slightly boost morale, reduce the possibility of their surrender, and increase the time they can continue to fight.
Hearing the magnetic pole's words and the evidence he presented, many Nascent Soul cultivators became skeptical.
Yu Feng Shenjun said: Even if Zhang Yu understands the technology, it would be difficult for him to gain the respect of the masses given his seniority, and he also lacks the resources to mobilize manpower and materials to break through the sky.
Magnet Lord: I have entrusted him with the management of my vast assets, enough for him to organize the manpower to break through the heavens.
Aoki Shin-kun: Me too.
Upon hearing these words, many Nascent Soul Gods were greatly shocked. They simply could not believe that someone would do such a thing, especially since this person was the notoriously stingy Magnetic Pole.
Thousand Puppet God: Are you two senile? How could you hand over your assets to your disciple? You'd rather die than do it!
Thousand Puppet God: Zhang Yu has probably already run away with the money.
The Thousand Puppet God Lord said with great sorrow: "Even if Yunzang and the others are dead, at least their assets were preserved. What use are you even if you live, without money?"
Yunzang Divine Lord was a fallen Nascent Soul cultivator from the Immortal Soldier University, and Thousand Puppet Divine Lord had long coveted his legacy.
The Magnetic God sneered and said, "You're still thinking about going back to devour Yunzang and the others' inheritance? Of course, you hope they've kept all their money."
Just as the ten Nascent Soul cultivators from the ten schools were discussing amongst themselves, a thunderous roar seemed to explode in the sky. The original Finance Department's Chain Pivot God Lord let out a long howl and launched another attack, igniting a series of fierce battles.
All that could be heard was the roar of the Chain Pivot Divine Lord, which exploded continuously in the sky, stretching across the battlefield and resounding both inside and outside the formation.
"Gentlemen, the battle is over. Do you still want to struggle to the death?"
Chain Pivot God Lord shouted loudly: "After Cang Shi God Lord and the others surrendered, we will not mistreat them in the slightest. All their treatment will still be at the level of the Nascent Soul stage. In the future, they will not be oppressed by the Heavenly Court and the sects. From now on, they can live a carefree and happy life."
The Magnetic God Lord angrily rebuked, "Who is really struggling in their death throes? Once the Heavenly Court descends, let's see how you can still be so carefree and unrestrained."
Chain Pivot God said with a faint smile, "Magnetic Pole, do you think you can still hold out until the Heavenly Court descends? Under the Zhou Tian Milky Way Array, you have nowhere to escape."
"As for the ten schools below, not only are they unable to break through the sky and provide you with supplies, but they have also long since fallen apart."
After saying that, the Righteous Alliance projected images of the third and second levels of Kunxu, all of which showed various college students, demon descendants, and Nascent Soul cultivators rebelling at the Heavenly Demon University.
However, during this period, the Righteous Alliance continued to broadcast similar scenes, and the many Divine Lords of the Ten Schools had long since become accustomed to them.
But the next moment, their expressions changed simultaneously.
In the scene, Zhang Yu broke open a remnant of the Nascent Soul stage.
Lord Chain Pivot laughed and said, "Everyone, your disciples and juniors not only don't think about supporting you, but they've also set their sights on your assets."
"Zhang Yu from Wanfa University does indeed possess remarkable spatial technology, having actually broken through the Nascent Soul stage relic."
As scenes of Zhang Yu breaking through the remnants of the Nascent Soul stage appeared one after another, all the Nascent Soul cultivators were shaken to their core.
Chain Pivot God added fuel to the fire, saying, "Everyone, the assets you left behind have already been stolen and robbed by Zhang Yu and his men, and they're almost all divided up."
"Even in this situation, are you still going to stubbornly hold on here?"
"Whether it's the Heavenly Court and sects above, or the disciples and students below, which one of them doesn't want to tear flesh from your body? What's there to protect? What's there to safeguard?"
"Why don't we rebel together? From now on, the world will be vast, and no one will control or oppress us..."
Within the "Sharing the Same Boat" group, the Thousand Puppet God Lord was so enraged that he cursed: "Magnetic Pole! Is this the good disciple you taught?! We're fighting to the death up there, and he's stealing our money down there?!"
Yu Feng Divine Lord: This bastard! We've fought for so long, and the losses we've suffered are probably not as great as what this bastard has caused.
Magnet Lord: Don't be fooled by Chain Hub's fake news. These people in the finance department are experts at fabricating fake news.
One of the deities said: "The other party has even given us a list of the treasures of the Nascent Soul stage. If the treasures had not actually been broken open, how could they know so much?"
Lord Nielian also looked grave, beginning to worry about the large amount of assets he had left behind at the Heavenly Demon University.
The critical situation, coupled with the enormous threat to their own assets, has made the atmosphere among the ten schools' Nascent Soul cultivators more tense than ever before.
The Divine Lord Yu Feng said, "Everyone, things have come to this point, and we can no longer delay. I propose that we concentrate our efforts on one person and try to get him to break through the great formation and go outside to see what's going on."
Lord Yufeng: The swordsmanship of my Heavenly Sword University is most adept at killing and breaking formations. Although this action is extremely dangerous, I am willing to take this risk to save the world from collapse.
The suggestion made by the Divine Lord Yufeng had been mentioned before, but whether it could actually break the formation was still a question. Furthermore, deciding on whom to concentrate the power was an even more uncertain matter.
As soon as Yu Feng Shenjun made his statement, each university immediately had its own candidate, and the debate became fierce and difficult to resolve.
At this moment, the Thousand Puppet God Lord said: "I have another suggestion. Why don't we select a few responsible people to break the formation with their primordial spirits?"
Thousand Puppet God: Although doing this is fraught with peril, the situation is extremely critical. To save the world from collapse, someone must step forward.
The Thousand Puppet God Lord spoke cryptically about breaking the formation with one's primordial spirit, but everyone present understood that he wanted someone to self-destruct their primordial spirit.
As for the so-called candidate, everyone knows in their hearts that it must be the person who is currently in the worst condition.
Magnet Lord immediately objected: This is absolutely unacceptable, Thousand Puppet, you must not say another word.
The Magnetic God Lord did not believe that any of these Nascent Soul cultivators would be willing to sacrifice themselves to save the overall situation. Forcing someone to self-destruct their primordial spirit would likely only force them to surrender, ultimately causing the entire camp to fall apart and collapse without a fight.
Just as the gods were arguing, another god suggested: "Why don't we pretend to surrender first, wait in secret for an opportunity to turn against them and save the world from collapse?"
Magnetism God sighed inwardly, knowing that the few people in the worst condition were already restless and had thoughts of surrendering.
Looking at the constantly updated messages in the group, Ciji thought to himself, "The morale is low, and this team is no longer easy to lead."
Just as the debate raged on in the group chat, Qiyun Shenjun of Wanfa University suddenly sharpened his gaze.
Located in a corner of the battlefield, he was able to observe some scenes outside the formation using the method devised by Tianjian University.
At that moment, in his observation, he saw many red dots appearing on the ground outside the formation.
"What is that?" Qi Yun Shenjun's heart skipped a beat: "Could it be some kind of attack method of the Righteous Alliance?"
Qiyun Divine Lord immediately shared the information in the group.
At the same time, he gradually figured out what those red dots were.
"It looks like... a projection of the spirit world?"
"But what the hell is that projected? A red envelope?"
"Is someone handing out red envelopes?"
Soon, in addition to the red envelopes, Qiyun Shenjun also saw many things that looked like firelight.
He said in the group: Some strange things have appeared outside the great formation.
Qiyun Divine Lord: is Fist, Candlelight, Fire
Qiyun Divine Lord: There are more and more of them.
Yu Feng Divine Lord: Qi Yun, what are you talking about? What does this have to do with Zhu Yi? Did he surrender as well?
Thousand Puppet God: Screenshot, send screenshot
Just then, Anzhen Shenjun of Wanfa University said: I saw it too.
Qiyun Divine Lord: [Screenshot]
Looking at the dense, fire-like things in the screenshot, Thousand Puppet God was slightly taken aback. As the screenshot was zoomed in, he realized that they were lines of writing floating in the air.
It was precisely the large number of cultivators with [fist]-shaped candle flames above their heads that were crashing into the sky between the 4th and 5th layers.
Qiyun Divine Lord: There are so many people, they are attacking the heavens!
Qiyun Divine Lord sent another screenshot. In each screenshot, the densely packed red dots, like twinkling stars, were expanding, as if they were heavenly fire threatening to ignite the entire sky.
At the same time, cracks gradually appeared in the sky in the scene, and spiderweb-like fragments spread wildly...
The many deities who witnessed this scene were shocked: "The heavens... are about to shatter."
Lord Nielian asked in surprise, "Where did so many experts come from who can challenge the heavens?"
The Divine Lord Yu Feng was filled with doubt: "Zhu Yi? What exactly happened down there?"
Qingming Divine Lord asked, "These guys all have the name 'Zhuyi' on their heads. Could it be the work of True Lord Zhuyi?"
Everyone was shocked. Just as the magnetic pole had said, Zhang Yu was about to break through the heavens.
The next moment, a deafening roar resounded throughout the fifth level of Kunxu.
According to the observations of many Divine Lords, the sky below them, which is the direction of the earth, which was blocked by four or five layers of heaven, was shattered with a roar.
Immediately afterwards, a dense crowd surged out like a tsunami, and then rushed to the ground of the fifth level like a volcanic eruption.
At the same time, more and more Nascent Soul cultivators saw the two characters "Candlelight" and immediately realized that this anomaly was indeed related to Zhang Yu.
Seeing this, a Nascent Soul cultivator exclaimed excitedly, "It's broken! It's really broken!"
Anzhen Divine Lord exclaimed excitedly: "Principal, True Lord Zhuyi has succeeded!"
The Magnetic God smiled slightly and said in the group: "Everyone, this is what you call supporting the heavens from the brink of collapse."
Lord of the Evil Lotus: Magnetism, when it comes to weapon crafting, I've never been impressed by you, but when it comes to teaching disciples... I'm truly impressed this time.
Yu Feng Divine Lord: It really was Zhu Yi True Lord who shattered the heavens! Magnetic Extreme Divine Lord, I never expected you to have predicted this so accurately! I'm impressed.
Thousand Puppet God: Alright, alright, magnetic poles! I knew I was right to trust you!
Ignoring the various praises in the group chat, the Magnetic God said calmly: "Everyone, it's time for us to fight back."
At the same time, the previously blocked fourth, third, and second layers of the spirit world reconnected with the ten schools' Nascent Soul cultivators.
With their power, they could instantly obtain a large amount of information, and the information of each of the Heaven-Breaking cultivators immediately appeared in their eyes.
Chang Buxiu, a college graduate, works on a factory assembly line.
Wei Youye, a college student
Zhao Tianxing, a student transferring from a junior college to a four-year university, is currently engaged in spiritual cultivation...
Seeing that the cultivators who broke through the sky one after another were all college students, junior college students, soul cultivators, and even high school students, the Nascent Soul cultivators present were even more surprised.
However, they didn't have time to study these things. As soon as the spirit world reconnected, many Nascent Soul cultivators began to take stock of their assets on the second and third floors, as well as the out-of-control power they had left behind on the fourth floor.
The previously halted production lines for artifact spirits, soul cultivators, and other services have now resumed operation.
Magical artifacts, puppets, flying boats, and spatial equipment soared into the sky and headed towards the battlefield the moment the spirit realm reconnected.
Zhang Yu also contacted his two teachers immediately.
Zhang Yu: Master, are you alright?
Magnet Lord: We're fine, Zhang Yu. You did a great job this time. All the effort we put into training you wasn't in vain.
Just then, Thousand Puppet God Lord spoke up in the group: Magnetic pole! Zhang Yu really took away all the Nascent Soul inheritance from our school?
At the same time, after taking inventory of her assets, the Magnetic Goddess did not speak, but her aura surged, indicating that her divine light also seemed to vibrate.
The Azure Wood God Lord beside him had also completed his information gathering, knowing all sorts of intelligence about the second and third floors, as well as the various matters concerning the Taixu Red Envelope and the process of countless cultivators breaking through the heavens.
Even with Qingmu Shenjun's cultivation and Dao heart, seeing the account of the funds consumed, he couldn't help but be shocked and speechless.
