Chapter 1569: Allied Alien Army
Lu Xiaoqing and Gong Qinyin were old acquaintances. Before long, they were chatting merrily without showing any envy toward each other. Xiang Shaoyun was naturally happy to see the harmonious relations.h.i.+p between the two. After spending two days with them, he went into seclusion after dealing with some sect affairs.
He had been involved in numerous battles over the years. Thus, he rarely cultivated in seclusion. Now that he had gained more experiences and benefits, he needed some time to digest all his gains. Not only was he entering seclusion to increase his strength, but he was also preparing for the Heaven Battling Ranking Compet.i.tion.
He entered his personal cultivation chamber. He had long laid out a high-tier formation around the chamber, completely protecting it. A normal person would have no way of interrupting his cultivation.
"With this cultivation session, I need to rearrange my comprehension of the nine profundities and everything I have learned. Also, I need to complete the Overlord Skyslaying Saber," muttered Xiang Shaoyun.
He then released his clone. While his main body was going through the nine profundities, his clone was practicing all his battle techniques. This feat of fully dividing his attention into two was not something an ordinary person could accomplish.
The profundities of powers contained the laws of the great dao. Any cultivator wis.h.i.+ng to enter the Rebirth Realm would need to comprehend these laws. Only then would one stand a chance to ascend into G.o.dhood.
Xiang Shaoyun had long comprehended the nine profundities, but his comprehension was still shallow. At most, he had only formed a middle level of understanding toward one or two profundities. Thus, he still had a lot of room for improvement.
If he could reach a deep level of understanding on all nine profundities, his daos of time, life, death, devils, and so on would become even more powerful. First, he went through the profundities one by one. With the Desolation mantra as his foundation and his experience as the support, he circulated each of the elements through his body one after another, slowly comprehending the profundity of each element.
The power of gold could penetrate everything, the power of wood was full of life, the power of water was vast and unending, the power of flame was berserk and merciless, the power of earth was heavy and stable… Every single element contained its own intricacies and worked differently. The deeper his understanding, the more power he could squeeze out of these elements.
While his main body was comprehending the profundities, his clone was practicing his battle techniques. Over the years, he had created several techniques, but he had not been able to standardize or complete his techniques. Thus, his self-created techniques were limited in strength. It wasn"t that his techniques were weak, but he merely hadn"t gotten the chance to properly polish them.
Because of that, his way of utilizing these techniques had been chaotic at times. Now that he had some free time, he wanted to polish them up. At the same time, he also wanted to combine his understanding of the various battle techniques he had witnessed over the years to create his own unique style.
"Havoc Dance and Enemy Sealing, both can be combined into a single technique," muttered Xiang Shaoyun.
Apart from that, he also planned to fuse his many fist techniques into an exclusive fist technique for him. In terms of fist, palm, and kicking techniques, he was more proficient with fist techniques. Essentially, he needed to combine the advantages of the various techniques with his own experience before creating the most suitable technique for himself.
That might sound simple, but it was extremely difficult to accomplish. After all, only those with great comprehension capabilities would be able to create their own techniques. This was especially true for high-grade techniques. Every high-grade technique created was basically a creation of history.
Regardless of whether it was deepening his comprehension of the nine profundities or creating his own techniques, both weren"t things that could be accomplished quickly. Xiang Shaoyun was prepared to enter a long seclusion.
While Xiang Shaoyun was deep in seclusion, the situation of the dominion worsened day by day.
First, the devils gathered most of their forces from the other entrances and focused them all at the Dusk Dynasty"s entrance. Even the Righteous Buddhist Sect"s golden leaf was broken through, allowing large numbers of devils to invade and occupy almost half of the Dusk Dynasty"s territory. Countless members of the Dusk Dynasty perished as the dynasty was pushed to the brink of destruction.
Even with the reinforcements from the Guardians Guild, they failed to stop the Diabolic Dragon Clan"s invasion. Unless organizations like the Immortal Road Chamber, Guangling Palace, and Celestial Alliance joined the war, they would not be able to repel the invasion.
However, the three organizations only sent a small number of people to partic.i.p.ate in the war. They did not seem to care about the devil invasion. The other organizations weren"t doing any better. Everyone only fought for themselves, and no unified resistance against the devils was formed.
Only after the big shots of the Guardians Guild appeared did they manage to stop the devils from conquering more territory. Originally, the big shots aimed to completely end the invasion, but the zombie calamity that had broken out at the Western Desert forced the Guardians Guild to split their attention because the Zombie G.o.d was too powerful.
Apart from that, a large number of demonic beasts were also invading from the West Demonic Cave, attempting to gain more territory for themselves. At the same time, the non-human races from the North Illusionary Sea seemed to be stirring as well. A large number of humans had been killed there, as though a terrifying existence was about to appear in the world.
Other calamities were erupting all over the dominion, causing countless human casualties. The entire dominion seemed to have sunk into panic.
Somewhere at the dominion"s realm boundary, Ge Yi"s main body was personally keeping watch over a spot with energy undulations. His empty eyes erupted with a terrifying radiance, seeing through the boundless s.p.a.ce beyond the dominion.
Deep in s.p.a.ce, numerous flickering figures could be seen. Odd emblems and flags could also be vaguely seen. It was actually an allied army of aliens. All sorts of aliens were traveling in spatial wars.h.i.+ps. An alliance of so many races was something rarely seen in the dominion.
If one paid attention to the army, one would be able to see that the Dark Devourer Clan was also among the aliens. However, from their position in the army, they seemed rather unimportant, as though they were nothing but mere attendants.
The leader of one of the spatial wars.h.i.+ps was an expert from the stonescale race. He was dozens of meters in height, with a layer of stone as his skin. Numerous odd stripes ran over his skin, giving him a peculiar appearance.
"Who dares to spy upon us!" the expert opened his eyes and roared.
Next, an incorporeal undulation spread far away. Ge Yi took a step forward and erased the undulation with a casual wave of his hand. With a flicker, he appeared before the fleet of over 10 wars.h.i.+ps and said, "Scram back to the outside domain, or this place will be where you die!"
