Chapter 2388: One Dominating Attack
The expressions of the apex cultivators from the divine prefecture all turned rather solemn. Naturally, the Vajra Region Lord’s attack was extremely powerful, as he was indubitably one of the strongest in the Divine Prefecture. Yet even his attack didn’t manage to move the Battle Matrix of the Rocks. It was just like how the prodigies at Lost Clan back then weren’t able to break the Battle Matrix of the Rocks.
But the difference was that those who were engaged in battle today were far more powerful. These were true overlords who were at the top of the cultivation pyramid. Of course, those who set down the Battle Matrix were stronger as well. These were the greatest cultivators of the Lost Clan. With their powers amplified by the Battle Matrix, their combined level wasn’t as simple as a sum of their individual powers.
So, it’s not abnormal that the Vajra Region Lord wasn’t able to break the Battle Matrix.
In the vast, boundless s.p.a.ce, the Battle Matrix of the Rocks shrouded the skies as numerous endlessly large Ancient G.o.d figures stood atop the world. It was as if even the celestial skies of the area itself had turned into a projection of the Ancient G.o.ds. It was like the sky had disappeared and was replaced.
This entire part of the world transformed into the Battle Matrix of the Rocks.
As the resonance grew stronger, the might that the Battle Matrix encompa.s.sed also became more and more terrifying. With the resonance of the Lost Clan cultivators, the skies merged into one and created an atmosphere of extreme solemness.
As terrifying booming noises echoed in the air, the figures of the Ancient G.o.ds started moving. Their eyes opened, and their gaze shot down from above. They looked down toward the people below them as if they were true divine G.o.ds.
“Attack together! Everyone, take a different position,” someone inside the Battle Matrix said. The others nodded. The power of the Battle Matrix was far more powerful than the sum of the cultivators who formed it. However, the battlefield covered a huge area, and it was impossible to make every face of the matrix strong. Even though the entire Battle Matrix was whole, as long as their attacks were spread across every area in the matrix, there would be a chance to break it.
“Let’s go,” one of the cultivators said. The Vajra Region Lord once again conjured his terrifying power as the figure of the Vajra Ancient G.o.d continued to expand, and countless golden arms appeared. There were rumors that the birth of the Vajra Region was related to the Western World of Buddhism. The first ancestor of the Vajra Region could even be a Buddhist cultivator, which explained why some of the arts from the Vajra Region were similar to that of the Buddhists.
The countless arms were like the Thousand Armed Buddha, s.h.i.+ning with magnificent divine lights. Unparalleled golden divine lights erupted from the frame of the Ancient G.o.d. This time, his target was no longer the entire Battle Matrix of the Rocks but only one specific spot on it. He only had to attack one of the faces and leave the others to the other cultivators.
On the other hand, an endlessly large pattern appeared behind the Lord of Yuans.h.i.+ Palace. The mythical pattern was like a true Great Matrix of Divine Retribution. As divine lights erupted, Swords of Divine Retribution that contained might that could destroy the skies moved within it. They pointed at another point in the Battle Matrix of the Rocks.
The chief of the Jiang Clan Ancient Royal Family and the Lord of the Boundless Mountains were there. Every single one was a leader of an Ancient G.o.d Clan. They were the greatest beings of the Divine Prefecture. It was inconceivable that cultivators of their level would simultaneously release their powers. This was all in order to break the Battle Matrix of the Rocks with brute force.
Inside the Battle Matrix, Ye Futian felt a faint pressure. After all, those inside the Battle Matrix were the most powerful cultivators in the entire Divine Prefecture, and he wasn’t sure how destructive their combined attacks would be. But at this point, all he could do was use all of his powers. The Battle Matrix of the Rocks caused power resonance, which gave them a significant advantage.
The guqin continued to sound as the Battle Matrix merged into one. The greatest cultivators of the Lost Clan all let go of their will and allowed the sounds of the guqin to lead their wills towards resonance, fusing into the Battle Matrix. It was as if they were now all part of the Battle Matrix of the Rocks, indistinct from each other.
The Matrix was them, and they were the Matrix.
“Do it.”
One voice sounded, prompting the apex cultivators of the Divine Prefecture to attack simultaneously. The instant they launched the attack, it was as though the physical s.p.a.ce inside the Battle Matrix of the Rocks was shattering again.
But at the same time, inside the Matrix, it seemed that the Ancient G.o.ds were moving. Terrifying divine lights shot out from the Lost Clan cultivators inside the Matrix, converging towards a single location. There, an Ancient G.o.d suddenly opened his eyes. As terrifying sounds rumbled in the air, his arms moved as well.
Atop the celestial skies, an endlessly large Golden Divine Hammer appeared.
Boom… The Divine Hammer was raised by a Divine G.o.d. A terrifying aura erupted and swept through the world as the Divine Hammer smashed down from the sky.
It was as though the world was covered by a Divine Hammer so large that one couldn’t see where it ended. When it came smas.h.i.+ng down, countless projections of the Divine Hammer appeared all across the vast s.p.a.ce as a golden hurricane destroyed everything in its way from top to bottom. Anything in its path had been completely obliterated.
The Vajra Region Lord’s pupils constricted. It turned out that this attack had been directed at him, as it had come straight down in his direction. While others were also in its area of impact, he was the clearest target.
Clearly, the Lost Clan cultivators chose to deal with them one by one, starting with him.
Hum! Before the attack even landed, a storm of obliteration swept down from above. It was as though all Great Paths in the world had been crushed and shattered under the power of this attack.
Terrifying sounds of explosions sounded. When the Divine Hammer finally landed, countless Vajra Divine Seals burst. They had been destroyed and crushed by brute force. It was a clash of two attacks, but the Divine Hammer was overwhelmingly more powerful.
“Careful.” The Divine Prefecture cultivators below were shocked by what they saw atop the celestial skies. Although the battlefield was already in outer s.p.a.ce, extremely high up, the flares from their battle were too powerful. Even from a region extremely far away, anyone of slightly higher cultivation levels could directly see what was happening inside the battlefield.
As the attack landed, even the cultivators from the Vajra region felt concerned for their Lord. Some were even quietly speaking inside, wanting to alert the Region Lord to be careful of the attack.
“Divine Hammer of the Protector,” the cultivators from the Four Corner Village who saw the divine technique were shaken to their core. Clearly, the Lost Clan overlord who launched the attack read the divine technique and cultivated them. The Divine Hammer of the Protector was indeed a good match for the power of the Lost Clan’s cultivation. Both had supreme strength and rigidity and were extremely dominating forces.
As the Divine Hammer smashed down, the Vajra Divine Seals collapsed. The countless arms of the Vajra Ancient G.o.d propped up the skies and slammed onto the Divine Hammer. But it still wasn’t able to stop the hammer. As the Divine Hammer came down, these arms were crushed into fragments, and the hammer continued downward, below the sky.
Blinding divine lights of the Great Path erupted from the Vajra Region Lord. He had transformed into the Vajra Divine Body, unable to be killed or destroyed, forged to be unbreakable. As the Divine Body raised his hand to attack, it collided with the Divine Hammer, which was smas.h.i.+ng downward. A terrifying, deafening sound erupted.
Tang… As the sound of collision echoed the air, it seemed that cracks started forming on the Vajra Divine Body as a result of the blast. It started falling from the sky. As the cracks started sprawling all over the Divine Body, a m.u.f.fled groan could be heard from inside. Then, as a blinding golden light started flas.h.i.+ng from the Divine Body, the Vajra Region Lord reverted to his mortal form. It was as if he were becoming an ordinary man. There was even blood seeping out from the corner of his mouth. No part of him resembled the supreme apex cultivator that had loomed over this era.
Clearly, even the Vajra Region Lord was wounded by this supremely dominating attack!
