Chapter 323: Celestial Phenomenon Arrows
The difficulty of facing dusk far exceeded expectations.
Although only one form of chaos would appear at the same time among the three, its power progressed and stacked, making it even harder to deal with than three appearing simultaneously.
The power of the Dusk Setting Sun itself was already comparable to the top Mystic Realm experts of Huangzhou, and even a sect leader could struggle to suppress it.
However, since there had been no actual battles, this was merely speculation; no one truly knew how things would unfold.
But when it came to two forms of chaos, everyone was well aware that this undoubtedly surpassed the power of any sect leader.
No single Mystic Realm expert could defeat the Dusk Setting Sun.
And when the three worked together, it reached a point where even the combined might of two sect cultivators setting up a formation could hardly prevail.
Ultimately, these Powerful Figures could not fully trust each other, preventing them from unleashing their entire power.
Some secret techniques, even in the hands of Mystic Realm experts, could multiply power. Since no one was using them, even three or four tenths of their power was significant now.
Especially since the cause of this great battle was the forceful awakening of chaos by unknown figures, the opposing party had remained hidden and had yet to show themselves.
Were they trying to push all the problems onto them and then benefit like fishermen?
Lan Wuyin and the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect had to remain wary.
With such wariness, the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect could not go all out.
Even with an oath established, they had to reserve some strength. Otherwise, if an unexpected entity suddenly attacked, complete annihilation was possible—
Right now, they couldn’t afford any errors with a super formation.
The Dream Marsh Spirit Sect was also aware of the unusual situation on the other side.
However, they could not call out the one who was acting in secret; who supported the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect was top secret and must not be exposed.
Each side had its own reasons, and they remained in a stalemate, with no one exerting full strength. Even when falling behind in battle, they refrained from fighting back.
But this strategy could only last for a while.
As time got closer to ‘dusk,’ the cycle was about to connect again!
If they failed to slay in the end, all their previous efforts would be in vain; it wouldn’t take repeated failures for them to realize that after one failure, they might not be able to fight back again, leading straight to a fatal outcome.
And this time was unexpectedly brief.
"The time is running out; what should we do?"
Master Yong Yin from the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect couldn’t think of a way to break the deadlock.
Although he longed to see a massive explosion again, he knew the opposing side would never agree.
The extent to which they could help and disrupt the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect’s advantageous situation had already been established as a limit.
They could not emerge in a surrounding killing formation that wasn’t a hundred percent guaranteed to remain hidden.
However.
This was a misunderstanding!
The third party that the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect expected was also filled with disbelief!
"What is the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect doing? Did those two recent explosions… actually backfire on themselves?"
"No way, who could have known that the Chaotic Demons were not two but three, and after being forcibly awakened, they directly formed a time loop?"
"What should we do?"
"If we fail, we just need to retreat. Even if the Mystic Realm experts of the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect are wiped out, the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect will suffer even greater losses, and that is enough!"
Once the conclusion was reached, the area fell into silence.
They indeed had no need to take risks.
If things were to develop this way, then they would go with the flow; as long as the final victor was the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect, there was no need to insist on a complete victory.
Even if only one Powerful Figure from the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect remained, they could fully execute their will, and to them, that was sufficient.
……
Time ticked away.
The final moments had arrived—perhaps just a few minutes? Or mere seconds?
This time was incredibly short, and each passing second sent heightened sensations through everyone’s nerves.
They had no specific means to measure time, but Mystic Realm experts could see “time” with their eyes. For them, time was the most tangible thing, needing no reference point; the world mirrored everything clearly.
They were "watching" time gradually come to an end!
Considering the scale of chaos, even with overwhelming advantages, to eliminate it in the time it takes for a cup of tea or a few breaths was extremely challenging.
Should they take action?
Must they take action?
Could they take action?
“Everyone, if we don’t act now, once time resets, our power won’t return. How much power have you all already consumed?”
“Can we restart a few more times?”
System Master Yan Hong spoke up.
“A half measure? How about that?”
Master Yong Yin proposed, seeing it as the most feasible plan.
“Let’s do it; after all, we have to give it a try!”
System Master Yan Hong agreed on behalf of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.
Time was truly running out!
A half measure was simple.
It meant half of the cultivators would exert their full power while the other half would exert half their power, all the while monitoring the opposing side.
This wouldn’t allow them to fully harness the formations or their own power, but it was a method to maximize their combined strength.
The selection of participants was made in an instant, resulting in the Dao weapons hovering in the air, overseeing many Powerful Figures erupting with full power.
There would be counteractions between the Dao weapons, so the Dao weapon from the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect could not instantly eliminate a cultivator from the Dream Marsh Spirit Sect. However, if the target was chosen as an ally, it was different; if higher-order cultivators’ orders were not obeyed, immediate punishment could be enacted.
Thus, both sides indeed had half of their Powerful Figures unleashing their full power to desperately suppress the dusk.
In terms of results, it was effective.
This was the result of nearly twenty Powerful Figures joining forces to set up formations, with countless treasures and secret techniques erupting in power, naturally reaching a world-destroying level. Even the combined might of the three great forces forming the Dusk was slowly diminishing, and if this continued, it was indeed very likely they could eliminate it.
—But therein lay the problem; it was merely weakening slowly, and everyone could see that it would take at least several hours to truly slay it, and they simply didn’t have that much time!
In these last fragments, the strongest on both sides could no longer remain still. Their powers reached a peak, and they all instinctively aimed to resolve the ‘Dusk.’
In that brief moment, everyone felt a chilling shock.
Dense and numerous—
A thousand rays of extreme light flashed by.
“What is this?!”
Multiple Powerful Figures’ pupils contracted; it was too fast, so fast that they couldn’t even perceive it. What kind of speed was this?!
Lan Wuyin suddenly looked far into the distance, and at that moment, his expression turned terrifying.
Though these weapons were shrouded with Spirit Law to generate disruptions, his mastery of Spirit Law was superior, allowing him to see through the essence of these weapons.
Silent Spiritual Law!
This was a power only one person could wield!
“Boom!”
The speed of the celestial phenomenon truly reached its peak, as Yun Ye was now capable of slaying a peerless figure in the law realms. The celestial phenomena he created naturally possessed transformative power.
Even a Spirit Law expert like Lan Wuyin could only trigger the explosion of several celestial phenomena upfront, and that was the end of it.
With thousands of celestial phenomena crashing down with overwhelming force, it felt like a flood of destruction. The formation fractured and collapsed, and many Powerful Figures changed color and quickly avoided it.
They noticed this was an attack that had appeared out of thin air, which could very well pierce through space and harm them, so retreating was the best choice!
And with that retreat, the formation completely vanished, and the power restraining the dusk was entirely lifted.
Originally, they had used their vast power to suppress the dusk for ‘setting sun.’
But now, with the power withdrawn, the suppression was nonexistent, and the speed of the great sun setting suddenly accelerated.
Clang!
Like the ringing of an evening bell, the sound signifying approaching time’s end echoed throughout the entire world!
All the Powerful Figures roared in anger: “Who dares to meddle? You are asking for death!!!”
