Chapter 310: Tomorrow Society’s Strategic Weapon: Yangxing
The mysterious shadow took away two Mystic Realm figures.
After a brief battle, the Revealing True Dragon also shattered the blockade and left, unable to be stopped.
"They actually escaped?"
Yun Ye was astonished.
It seemed Lan Wuyin only intended to reveal this level of power; otherwise, these powerful figures should have met their end.
He possessed extremely exceptional attributes and understood the level of power that represented.
Both were top talents with all their metrics maxed out; one had dual attributes, while the other had extremely exceptional attributes, leading to a one-sided battle.
Furthermore, Lan Wuyin was already outstanding; there were very few who could compare with him.
In the face of a talent gap, numbers held no significance.
Lan Wuyin did not linger.
He quickly tore through space and vanished, returning to his guard point, and so did the other Chiefs.
Chief Heavenly Born returned to the city wall and heard Yun Ye’s question. He smiled and said, "Killing a powerful figure is not that easy. Even space blockades can be ripped apart like thin paper by the super formations of various sects. Before the spirit energy reserves are exhausted, it is extremely difficult for any powerful figure to die; they will be rescued. My Master is a Spiritual Law practitioner, allowing him to seize that brief moment to slay a powerful figure."
Yun Ye fully realized that the super formations seemed to surpass even the forces of the Mystic Realm, being the core weapons of the two major Spirit Sects.
Just like the Sword Formation of Baishi Town could threaten the Mystic Realm.
The Spirit Sect’s super formations could likely threaten real beings and even directly kill them.
In the face of such power, Lan Wuyin was also vulnerable, which is why he did not cross space to pursue the enemies but only obstructed them, forcing the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect to expend more spirit energy reserves.
"Will the great battle continue for many more years?"
Yun Ye gazed outside the city, seeing a scene of devastation, as if the land was dying, ravaged by far too much destructive power.
Fortunately, this was a war of spirit veins, limited to the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, with not too many mortals involved.
If it were a war sweeping through Huangzhou…
"After this, the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect will be more vigilant, right? If no powerful figures die, the war will last at least twenty more years. At that stage, the spirit energy reserves of each sect will probably be depleted by half, and then, if it continues for another thirty or forty years, a victor may emerge."
Chief Heavenly Born had experienced many battles and had some insights; he offered a vague prediction.
Indeed, it was possible for a few great victories to occur, accelerating the end of the war, but that was beyond his prediction.
"The longest it could last is sixty more years!"
Yun Ye inhaled sharply, this truly exceeded his understanding. By all rights, top cultivation masters should end a battle quickly, employing sneak attacks and traps, and finish the fight within days, right?
Why was the atmosphere in the Red Heaven realm so markedly different? The war not only extended over decades but, most critically, it erupted chaotically without any cold war standoff!
To be honest, it was monumental, worthy of being written about extensively, with countless stories emerging from this long war.
However, experiencing such a large-scale war firsthand would be quite another matter; the more epic and grand it was, the more brutal it would likely be for most people.
Men naturally desire to achieve great deeds, but upon deeper reflection, it involves shedding blood and tears, treating life’s losses lightly, and only when truly faced with such weight can it be fully understood!
Even Yun Ye had reached the stage where he could defeat a peerless figure in the law realms.
In this grand battle, he could only sway in the wind.
Unable to stand alone, he tried to reverse the dangerous situation.
…
The great battle swiftly entered its eighth year. The fierce clashes between the two sects completely overshadowed the existence of the Tomorrow Society, who drew no attention as a small force.
As time passed, the balance of war began to tilt.
The Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect possessed an extraordinary figure—Lan Wuyin.
He actively played a role, leading the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect to suffer repeated defeats, unable to achieve any significant victories.
With these advantages accumulating, many powerful figures had begun to see the tendency of this war: if the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect lacked a trump card, they would face destruction!
This was not unexpected.
The war between the two Spirit Sects was long and enduring; even figures like the True Blood Sect Master and the Dream Marsh Sect Master could not easily change the direction of the battle in a short time.
However, there was one kind of power that was an exception.
That was Spirit Law!
Spirit Law could scout the battlefield, obtain intelligence in advance, and could also deduce fate, knowing the tendencies of the future, all of which could accumulate advantages.
Ultimately, war boils down to using one’s own strengths to strike at the opponent’s weaknesses, exchanging as many results as possible.
The various characteristics of Spirit Law fit almost perfectly with the elements of achieving victory in war, and naturally could greatly influence the course of the two sects’ conflicts.
However, under normal circumstances, Spirit Law deduction struggled to resist the interference of super formations, leading to diminished effects; the levels of the two sects’ Spiritual Law practitioners were roughly comparable, meaning the final victory could not entirely be attributed to Spirit Law.
Yet Lan Wuyin possessed the extremely exceptional transforming dark attributes, giving him an astonishing natural talent in Spirit Law. He had now further completed the Nine Lives Spirit Law, building a strong foundation for significantly interfering with the war’s outcome.
His willingness to take action would directly make the schemes of the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect difficult to succeed while enhancing the plans of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
In this back-and-forth, within just a year, the balance began to tip in favor of victory.
If this continued, the likelihood of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect winning would grow exponentially, which completely contradicted Yun Ye’s interests.
The two Spirit Sects should ideally maintain a balance and continue their battle.
Even if the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh was destroyed, they had to keep fighting; otherwise, both Yun Ye himself and the Tomorrow Society would have little room to maneuver.
Yun Ye lamented the devastation of the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, harshly criticizing the two major sects, but when it came to himself, he would make the same choice—
The destruction of the environment was far less important than victory!
The plan should begin now.
The balance of victory and defeat should have been maintained from the very start!
…
In the underground base of the Tomorrow Society, many higher-level members gathered together.
At the center of the entire conference room stood an object resembling a planetary model.
The base of the instrument was about half a person wide, entirely crimson, with a crescent-shaped support underneath. Suspended above it was a sphere made of countless runes.
This was the True Heaven Instrument!
It was a Spirit Law amplification device developed by the Tomorrow Society after extensive research. Its effect completely surpassed that of a Spirit Law device by countless times, earning it the title of "Divine Artifact."
With the True Heaven Instrument, the Tomorrow Society finally dared to expand its reach, secretly placing personnel in various major orthodoxies and eventually extending even into the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
"Tap, tap, tap…"
As footsteps echoed in the corridor, someone opened the large door, respectfully allowing a woman to enter the conference room.
This woman had long silver hair that reached her waist, and her eyes were the same pure silver hue. Through her training, she had transformed her physique, and her beauty was striking, unforgettable after just one glance.
She walked into the conference room holding a tray.
The tray sparkled with light resembling stars.
And atop the tray, a small sun radiated a soft glow.
“Yuexin, you’re here.”
Qi Lian, who seemed a bit sleepy, greeted Yuexin.
Spiritual Law practitioners indeed found it hard to feel tired, but Qi Lian had taken it to an extreme; she hadn’t rested for a full ten years, tirelessly researching and using Spirit Law to maintain the minimal operation of the True Heaven Instrument.
“Seventh Seat, the results have been ready for some time, so we can skip the formalities.”
The silver-haired beauty nodded and spoke.
Time waits for no one.
The once young child who had been pushed to study by Yun Ye had grown into an intelligent and beautiful woman over the course of more than twenty years.
“I’ve been looking forward to this; let’s begin.”
Qi Lian said.
Yuexin nodded and stepped up to the podium, presenting the star tray for everyone to see.
The higher-level members present, having already activated Spirit Law, were able to clearly perceive the total amount of energy.
As they sensed it, smiles appeared on their faces.
“Indeed, it was successful!”
“This energy level can actually be achieved!!”
The small sun hovering above the star tray had energy levels so high they were beyond their calculations, which clearly indicated Yuexin’s achievements.
“This is the first prototype of the ‘Sun Star,’ utilizing the extremely exceptional attributes of material decomposition. It can convert matter and steadily release annihilating energy.”
“In terms of results calculated by the True Heaven Instrument, once activated, a ‘Sun Star’ of this size can easily level a hundred-mile area, with power comparable to the strategic forbidden devices stored by the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.”
“The strategic forbidden devices of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect are extremely costly to make, requiring the Mystic Realm for their creation, and cannot be replenished during wartime.”
“And the ‘Sun Star’ is merely an ordinary ‘law device,’ which does not require the Mystic Realm to create. It only has high material requirements and is overall an excellent weapon for war. Currently, the Tomorrow Society could still manufacture three more of the same scale ‘Sun Stars.’ We’ve been closed off here for too long, and materials are running low.”
Yuexin explained.
“Can’t the quality of the materials be lowered?”
Tian Jing asked.
“It can, but the power released from material decomposition would decrease, and the requirements for the creator would increase dramatically. Right now, no one could make it. After all, unlike other extremely exceptional attributes, if ‘material decomposition’ fails to be inscribed, this place will immediately turn to ashes.”
Yuexin spoke calmly about certain things that made people’s eyelids twitch.
Most people couldn’t help but ponder a question.
How had Yuexin conducted her previous experiments?
Could it be that they had already… roamed the edge of hell multiple times?
“Apart from the name ‘Sun Star,’ the research department also named this type of law device—Extreme Spirit Armament and Unique Armament.”
“Although currently, no one can achieve the unique attributes, let alone inscribe it into a law device. Given the present situation, one must at least attain the law realms and possess exceptional talent to have the time to master unique attributes, and only after reaching a certain level can they create a Unique Armament.”
“In other words, only the Seventh Seat has hope.”
Yuexin concluded.
Everyone turned to Qi Lian.
“There is no hope; the True Heaven Instrument is already the limit. Expanding the Tomorrow Society with the current materials is completely unmanageable.”
Qi Lian said, “Moreover, after mastering the Unique Spiritual Law, I discovered a serious issue: the intense corrosiveness.”
“The power of the Unique Spiritual Law is too extreme; every time it is used, it erodes the body, altering the flesh to adapt to the Unique Spiritual Law.”
The Woman in Red, who had been supporting her face and trying to stay alert, put down her hand and frowned tightly, “Seventh Seat, why didn’t you say this earlier? If so, then we should immediately abandon the study of unique attributes!”
Now, Qi Lian’s importance in the Tomorrow Society completely overshadowed everyone else. Without her to maintain the True Heaven Instrument, the Tomorrow Society could not have developed so smoothly and could not have concealed the majority of traces, allowing the two major Spirit Sects to remain unaware of their existence until now.
While the unique attributes indeed enhance combat power, stability is far more important.
“Huo Yang, this is not a malignant corrosion; on the contrary, it has evolved my power. The purity and scale of my Spiritual Roots are all advancing.”
Qi Lian shrugged her hand dismissively.
“If that’s the case, why use the term ‘corrosion’?”
Huo Yang looked at her.
“Because this evolution only benefits the Unique Spiritual Law. The deeper I go, the more difficult it becomes to use other Spiritual Laws… hence the term ‘corrosion.’”
“This situation is reflected in the Fusion Secret Techniques of Spiritual Roots as well. If the Fusion Secret Techniques are activated multiple times, the Spiritual Roots will completely merge and can no longer be separated. However, this process is slow and far less obvious than with the Unique Spiritual Law.”
Qi Lian explained.
“Complete merging? This…”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
For an ordinary practitioner, dual attributes are much stronger than two single attributes, so merging doesn’t really matter—it’s just a matter of having fewer techniques.
But for the Tomorrow Society, this would mean a significant weakening because they all possessed many dual Spiritual Laws. If they were to merge completely, it would effectively eliminate the majority of their combat strategies.
Although Yun Ye continuously dominated in battle, it seemed there was no difference in Spiritual Laws.
However, in Spiritual Law battles, the aspect of attribute superiority is extremely important. Even if one is much stronger, encountering an opponent with attribute superiority could lead to defeat.
Certain special secret techniques might leave some attributes completely ineffective, while others could be easily countered.
They were far less talented and powerful than Xiang Ying and still needed to leverage these differences to win.
Whether it’s unique attributes or Fusion Secret Techniques of Spiritual Roots, as long as they lead to permanent merging of the Spiritual Roots, it represents a degradation for them.
“Currently, only a few of us possess extremely exceptional attributes. The vast majority of members are still at the dual attributes stage, so there’s no need to consider unique attributes; it’s too distant for us.”
“What’s more important now is how to guide the war and keep the conflict between the two sects ongoing, without ending it in the short term.”
Tian Jing thought for a moment and refocused on the present.
It wasn’t that he lacked foresight.
It was simply about prioritizing matters.
“Then has Xiang Ying’s statement been verified? Will the so-called Dusk Valley battlefield truly arrive as scheduled?”
Yang Shu, who had aged significantly, spoke up. He had already resigned from his chief position, handing over the Tomorrow Society to Tian Jing but still remained active in his duties.
“The two sects are indeed gathering power. Dusk Valley is one of the forbidden areas of the Great Wilderness Spirit Marsh, occupied by many chaotic demons. However, as the balance shifts, the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect has decided to unleash chaos in this forbidden land. They cannot fully control the demons, but they have an advantage over the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect, which will not accept giving up ground easily. The likelihood of a major battle occurring at the border is over 90%.”
“In that case, let’s begin preparations—"
“The Dusk Plan.”
