Chapter 1180 Shattering The Secret Barrier!
~BOOM~
Little Shrubby"s impact created a shockwave that caused the air to crack even further. The cracks now covered an area of over a hundred meters. The cracks weren"t spread out in a flat surface either, instead they seemed to be curving around the area.
"HAAA! BREAK!" Lin Mu did the same and stuck another spot that had cracked.
~BOOM~
The cracks expanded there as well and grew denser.
In the distance, the Centennial Sword Ancestor was still fighting Master Bell Mountain. The two of them barely had paid attention to the battlefield due to being too involved with each other.
Their clash was deadly and the area"s topography had already been changed due to their clash several times.
But with the huge commotion that Lin Mu made, they ended upon looking over as well.
"This can"t be…" Master White Mountain gritted his teeth.
Meanwhile, the Centennial Sword Ancestor had a realization.
"That"s it!" He quickly turned around after slashing at Master White mountain and gathered his sword intent.
"Hundred Years Slash!" The Centennial Sword Ancestor executed his sword skill, sending out a sword light over a hundred meters long.
It was vertical and sped towards another crack near him.
~BOOM!~
~KACHA~
The effect was evident as the cracks started to extend there as well.
"Everyone, attack the crack behind us! Give it your all!" Patriarch You Yi gave the order.
While he didn"t exactly know why Lin Mu and the others were doing it, he followed height suit and got everyone to attack at once.
~SHUA~
~SHING~
~BOOM~
They attacked with anything they had. Some threw out their weapons, some threw talisman, some even detonated their spirit tools and weapons.
With their spirit Qi being restrained, this was all they could do.
But the power was simply too low to affect the crack much. It was now that another voice was heard.
"Everyone get back!" Jiao Fang ordered.
He was holding his hand over his chest, and something was floating over it. If one looked closely they would see that it was none other than his Nascent soul!
Jiao Fang then did something astounding. He used his fingers and directly ripped off a hand from his Nascent soul.
"ARGH!" He grunted in pain but held on while gritting his teeth. "Just work…" he thought.
The arm of the nascent soul quickly turned into a small gla.s.sy marble, which he then threw out with all his strength.
The marble collided with the cracked air, and a fearsome pressure spread from it. It was as if the very air was churning and getting sucked towards it.
Then… after a momentary stillness, the marble imploded!
~KABOOM~
The people who watched it were forced to close their eyes due to the bright explosion. It wasn"t fiery or hot, just very bright to look at. Most of its destructive power came from the air being expanded rapidly.
Most of the cultivators were confused as to what Jiao Fang had done, but the Dao Treading realm experts were a little aware.
"He detonated a part of his nascent soul? That"s a risky and crazy move…" Patriarch Hua thought, but at the same time he couldn"t help but commend the man for his determination.
Normally something like this should have been impossible for most cultivators with nascent souls. But Jiao Fang had already experienced fusion and interaction of souls, thus he could control it enough such that he didn"t harm his own nascent soul too much.
If someone inexperienced tried something like this, getting crippled would be the best outcome and death the most likely one.
~KACHA~
Regardless of the repercussions, the explosion of the marble did what it was intended too and cracked the air apart even more.
~WOONG~
The ancestral Bell thrummed in a strange and awkward pattern, feeling more like noise instead.
"This shouldn"t have happened… how is this even possible? How did they crack the Grand Confinement Array?" Master Bell Mountain was lost.
He still continued his attempts at establishing control over the Ancestral Bell once more, but his efforts were too slow and inadequate for it.
~CRACK~ CRACK~ CRACK~
The cracks from the four cardinal directions swam through the air like worms and joined together.
~Shatter!~
Then, like a thousand year old glacier collapsing, the entire thing shattered apart!
~Crumble~
Fragments of solid air fell down, still having the image of the scenery behind it. The fragments didn"t last long and soon dissipated into a mix of runes and disappeared.
"FINALLY!"
"THE BARRIER IS BROKEN!"
"CHARGE!"
As if an illusion had been dispelled, millions of people appeared around the battlefield.
Patriarch You Yi and the other patriarchs saw it and recognized them all.
"Rainbow Pill sect is here!"
"Centennial Sword Sect is here!"
"The Sky Precepts Sect has arrived!"
The armies of the top three sects finally appeared ran towards the Northern Tribes members.
"My spirit Qi, I can use it again." The people of the alliance felt the restrictions over them fading away as well, and their cultivation bases returned.
~SHUA~ SHUA~ SHUA~
Two streaks of light flew out from behind the army of the top three sects. One could faintly see two figures hidden within them and they were exuding strong spirit Qi fluctuations.
One of these streaks of lights headed towards where Little Shrubby and Master Cull Mountain were.
Hundreds of pills were thrown out by the figure who appeared from the light streak. It was an old man dressed in multicolored robes and had a seven colored leaf collar attached to his neck.
"My, my, this will be some good practice for my old fingers." The Rainbow Pill Ancestor spoke as he snapped his fingers.
~BOOM~ BOOM~ BOOM~
All the pills that he had thrown exploded, creating dense smoke that covered Master Cull Mountain.
Meanwhile, the other streak of Light stopped near the Centennial Sword Ancestor and waved his staff, creating hundreds of runes that shot towards Master White Mountain and stuck to his clothes and skin.
"So you"re finally here, old Man Sky." The Centennials Sword Ancestor spoke.
"There were some unexpected delays, but it seems like you all held on well enough." The Sky Precepts Ancestor replied.
