The entire Heaven’s Horizon World was shuddering at that moment. A wave of pure psychic turbulence swept wildly across the surroundings.

Even Zong Shou and Shen Yuexuan had to divert their attention to suppress it; some lower-tier cultivators were caught off guard, their bodies instantly torn to shreds. Zong Shou’s World-Burning Blood Pupils could pierce through the void.

He saw that outside this world, countless powerful, colossal forces were ruthlessly tearing at the void barrier. The entire periphery of the world was enveloped in a shroud of dark energy, and beyond that lay the sixty colossal ancient wooden vessels.

Shrouded by layers of dazzling spiritual runes, countless tendrils shot out, violently battering the boundary protection array. This instantly left the Heaven’s Horizon World riddled with holes.

Furthermore, countless winged Night Demons were assaulting those spatial rifts. “It’s starting again!” Shen Yuexuan sighed, then rose to his feet.

“Your servant asks leave to depart; I must go oversee the protective formations!” He was the Grand Artisan of Works for the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty, originally only responsible for artifact refinement and construction. However, within the Heaven’s Horizon World at this time, there was no one better suited than him to manage the boundary formations.

As for the Immortal Slaying Gourd, once its firing parameters were set beforehand, it could manage for a short while without him. Zong Shou, however, shook his head.

“Expert Ming Yixuan is handling matters over there; there is no need for concern.” “Expert Ming Yixuan?” Shen Yuexuan raised an eyebrow, then a look of relief broke into a smile. “The State Preceptor?

Congratulations to Your Majesty; you have gained another powerful aid!” Shen Yuexuan had only encountered Ming Yixuan once in the Qin Emperor’s Tomb, but he knew that the man’s attainments in formations surpassed even his own. Still, a thread of worry remained in his heart, as the world protection array could not hold for much longer.

Even Ming Yixuan could not possess the power to turn the tide— Yet, in just a moment, a look of astonishment appeared on Shen Yuexuan’s face again. He discovered that the cyclical operation of the world protection array was nearly twice as smooth as usual, though this came at the cost of sacrificing vast swathes of the spatial barrier.

Nearly two-fifths of the barrier was abandoned, preserving only a few key zones. And those surging Night Demons assaulting the spatial cracks were not blocked as they usually were; they were directly allowed to pour into the Heaven’s Horizon World.

Yet, almost as soon as they charged into the domain, they encountered heavy damage. Of the Twelve Town Guard Bronze Figures, four were suppressing the center of the world, while the rest guarded different sectors.

Golden halos expanded, seamlessly connecting. Under the interference of the Chaotic Spirit Resolution, almost all Night Demons above the Spirit Realm were forcibly suppressed in rank.

Shen Yuexuan had been focused on artifact refinement and had not paid attention to external affairs. Only now did he realize that within the entire Heaven’s Horizon World, save for a very few structures in the center, almost everything had been razed to the ground.

The two million seven hundred thousand troops were distributed across this narrow domain spanning only three hundred li. They were leisurely and effectively slaughtering and harvesting the Night Demons that continuously streamed in.

Especially the two cavalry units commanded separately by Li Xin and Zong Yuan—they cut through the vanguard like a sharp blade, unstoppable, their momentum fierce and absolute, seemingly nothing could halt them. These two million seven hundred thousand troops came from various regions, and their coordination was initially a bit stiff, but under the direction of their main commanders, they firmly suppressed the entire world, constantly maneuvering, constantly adjusting, constantly segmenting the enemy forces to achieve superior numbers in engagements.

With just one glance, Shen Yuexuan knew that Kong Yao must also have arrived. If the current situation continued, no matter how vast the Night Demon army, those who breached the Heaven’s Horizon World would be gradually annihilated by Great Qian!

This method of warfare was entirely different from Lie Que’s. It was hard to judge which was superior, but the casualties on the Great Qian Immortal Dynasty’s side had clearly dropped drastically.

“So Your Majesty had already made arrangements. The Noble Consort is truly a peerless commander!

Having just arrived in the Cloud Realm, she has already reversed the tide of defeat.” Shen Yuexuan praised with deep admiration. “No wonder Your Majesty inquired about the Two Forms Dragon Gathering Formation.

If we could utilize this formation in conjunction, our Great Qian would certainly be invincible!” Zong Shou chuckled at this. The tactic Kong Yao adopted was not because Lie Que was incompetent or hadn't thought of it.

Rather, back then, without the suppression of the Twelve Town Guard Bronze Figures, it was too risky and would have infringed upon the interests of the major powers and merchants within the Heaven’s Horizon World. However, Shen Yuexuan likely understood these things himself.

“To be invincible is an exaggeration; at best, it can only increase our efficiency by about thirty percent. Besides Ming Yixuan, Xu Fu is also serving now.

If the three of you work together, perhaps restoring the Two Forms Dragon Gathering Formation is possible. I do not seek a complete revival, nor do I seek to restore it fully; I only ask that it possess three or four tenths of the power of the grand formation in the Qin Emperor’s Tomb—” While speaking, Zong Shou was once again startled by changes in the outer domain.

His spiritual sense perceived dozens of colossal auras rapidly approaching with astonishing speed. Saint Realm?

Zong Shou’s brows sharpened, and a blood-red flame leaped in his pupils. These Saints joined forces, their aura vast, but they did not attempt to break into the domain.

Instead, they directly used their power to strike at the core origin of the Heaven’s Horizon World, causing space-time to vibrate and the domain to shake. Just as Zong Shou hesitated whether to intervene, a pale violet sword light suddenly shot out from within the Heaven’s Horizon World.

Its edge was sharp, traversing the river of worlds. Then the entire outer void began to tremble incessantly.

In the blink of an eye, several successive strikes resulted in bursts of incandescent white light exploding in the void, and the sensation of shaking grew more intense. Great Cycle Oscillating Sword Art!

Zong Shou’s heart settled instantly; he knew Ye Xuan had made his move. A flicker of surprise appeared in his eyes.

In just one year, Ye Xuan’s cultivation progress was truly astonishing. The accumulation from two centuries of torment in the Nine Deaths Desolate Domain was indeed extraordinary.

After accumulating power, he broke through the bottleneck with that supreme immortal weapon and stepped into the Saint Realm. He was already advancing by leaps and bounds, and his current cultivation was only a single step away from the Mid-Stage Saint Realm.

And this person, wielding the Great Cycle Oscillating Sword with Saint Essence strength, executed his Sword Art, which had reached the peak of Soul Essence, to its absolute limit. Resisting more than ten Saints with the power of a single sword strike, Ye Xuan was only slightly at a disadvantage.

And moments later, more than a dozen Saint Realm auras successively rushed out from within the Heaven’s Horizon World. The Spirit Refining Sword within Zong Shou’s sleeve resonated sympathetically and rose spontaneously, hovering in the air.

The All-Living Sword Formation naturally activated, incorporating the Will of the Heavenly Dao of dozens of surrounding worlds to this location. Then, thousands upon thousands of sword lights, like a flowing ribbon, circled the Heaven’s Horizon World.

The All-Living Sword Formation, combined with the Sword Sect’s Heaven and Earth Destruction Sword Formation, saw more than ten Saints from both major sects joining forces, stabilizing the root of the Heaven’s Horizon World once more in an instant. Conversely, the All-Living Sword Qi, formed by enveloping the Will of the Heavenly Dao, possessed power comparable to the Transcendent Realm, surging mightily and unblockable.

It forced the Saint Realm Night Demons into a hasty retreat until the sixty ancient wooden vessels suddenly expanded their spiritual runes, connecting with one another. A bolt of cyan lightning converged and shot out, which barely managed to cancel out that sword light.
