Challenger (2)

Qi Meng waved his hand and a series of illusion arrays, essence formations and various barriers overlapped layer by layer covering the entire Fang Clan territory.

As s top tier Godking in his previous life, Qi Meng could casually build up hundreds of array formations with just a wave of his hand. One could imagine the level of his mastery in terms of array formation. In this continent or even in this human world, who can compete with him in this regard? None, there may be masters of formations here at a certain extent of mastery but none of them are as experienced as Qi Meng with millions of years track record.

Even the peak stage Dao Monarchs within the Fang Clan could only watch this scene to happen.

After the essence formations are built up, this magnified the concentration of nature essences being continuously sucked in this area specifically those of the five juniors' core essences.

Along with this, the entire surrounding became hushed. All noises from the outside were blocked by the various barriers and vice versa. The group of curious bystanders outside the Fang Clan's gates have their vision blocked by another barrier not allowing to see what is happening inside.

Suddenly, the entire territory of the Fang Clan turned dark as dark azure clouds began to descend from the sky. Accompanied with this, a thick formation of dark azure clouds encircled nine blazing suns at the size of five hundred meters in diameter each, making the whole phenomenon look like a miniature moon with dimmed light.

This phenomenon then blocked the light coming from this galaxy's huge heavenly sun at the direction of the Fang Clan's territory.

"Eclipse!"

The visibility within the whole of Fang Clan's territory was reduced to a minimum.

The Fang disciples then panicked at this sudden development. The six experts were already gone from their sight.

Unknowing to them, Qi Meng and the rest are floating above the dark azure clouds under the protection of Qi Min's azure cloud cloak, thus making them vulnerable to the heavy pressure released by the dark clouds.

Krrrrriiikkkk... Krrrriiikkkk....

Bolts of lightning 10 centimeters thick poured down from the thick dark azure clouds. Normally, Qi Jiang could not release such thick lightning bolts. But since the entire area is supported by an unlimited surge of lightning essences, his ability is at least 10 times magnified than the normal.

Just as a millisecond before the bolts of lightning could hit the Fang disciples below, Qi Meng's soul form unleashed his Soul Suppression covering the entire second line of defense.

Boom! Krrrikkk... Krrrrrikkkk...

A loud bang was heard as the bolts of lightning hit every Fang disciple at the second line of defense non-stop.

Being a bit dazed due to their soul being intimidated by the Soul Suppression's heavy pressure, the pitiful disciples have no way of dodging the bolts of lightning as they were rendered immobilize.

During that time they had sparred with the Qi Clan's sect master back then, they have caused Qi Yu, a mid stage Dao Emperor, to step back and cause a bit of damage to him physically.

Since then, their cultivation base and abilities had elevated one level higher. Accompanied with Qi Meng's complex essence formation and soul suppression ability, their group are indeed formidable within cultivators under the Dao Monarch realm.

Not even mentioning these group of Dao Paragons in the second line of defense, they were not able to endure such magnitude of lightnings and suffered the heaviest of injuries as they passed out.

The group of Dao Emperors are in better condition. Even though they did not passed out, they are still heavily injured and almost all of their strength were drained as they resisted the endless amount of lightning bolts earlier.

The lightning bolts suddenly stopped.

A group of six experts clad in silk armor instantly appeared.

As the concentration of dark azure clouds moved in the direction of the third line of defense, they were again able to clearly see the surroundings.

Each of the Dao Emperors saw the shocking scene. Of about a hundred Dao Paragon experts in their clan, all of them were lying on the ground unconscious with severe injuries and blood pond beneath their bodies.

How did this happen? Just for the sake of defending their territory, they have to suffer this much. They thought to themselves, was all of this really worth it?

Yes, this is the payment any clan would pay if they possess one of such territories.

Life is hard but they had to endure. All those years of defending their territory, they had experience more but those are not worse than their current dilemma.

They have no time to grief as the six experts walked forward slowly towards them.

Their injured bodies cannot even barely move even though the suppression ability is no more in place.

They tried their best to move and it was really hard in their current condition.

"Beat them! Do not stop until they either surrender or collapse." Qi Meng ordered.

The five juniors started with their attacks. Given the damage these Dao Emperors had suffered, it does not matter whether they are at the early stage or peak stage. In their current state, their physical strength can be said to be lowered at the peak stage of Dao King realm.

For Qi Meng and the group, they will only serve as their punching bags.

The five juniors' current strength already far surpassed that of a peak stage Dao King even though their cultivation base ae still at the early stage of Dao King realm.

This is the advantage of having the core essences and a solid foundation sharpened by deadly battles.

None of the injured Dao Emperors surrendered. They fought fiercely with the five juniors until they collapsed.

The five juniors lowered their silk armors defensive levels to late stage Dao King realm otherwise they could not feel the excitement in battle.

They received a few injuries and expended almost half of the essences in defeating about fifty experts of the Dao Emperor.

After the second line of defense was successfully demolished, each of the juniors consumed another level 4 essence elixirs and instantly their bodies felt invigorated.

The dark azure clouds were now concentrated densely at the area where the third line of defense is at.

"Each of you give me a cloak of your essences. I will handle everything from here onward. You guys can conceal yourselves above the dark azure clouds and continue to unleash the complete Apocalypse Battle Formation at my cue." Qi Meng ordered.

"En! Be careful!" Aside from Qi Min, the other four waved their hands and their essence cloak merged with Qi Min's Azure Cloud Cloak.

These essence cloaks are part of the abilities recorded in their cultivation scrolls and each cloaks are able to merge no matter how compatible or incompatible they are. They felt that this matter is rather weird. For the blazing sun essence to merge with the snow and ice essences, it is really unexpected, but here they are performing a miracle.

All five of them flew above the Dark Azure Clouds and used Qi Min's azure cloud cloak to conceal themselves. Even the Dao Monarch experts below would not be able to detect their presence.

Qi Meng now looked like a formidable war god. Wearing his incredible silk armor cloaked with five essences shimmering around his armor.

Crackles of lightning appeared all over the azure cloud cloak. A blazing sun fire emerged at his leg guards and arm guards while ice covered the chest and shoulder pieces. A pair of snow wings emerged on his back hidden within the cloak.

He then walked towards the direction of the third line of defense where early to late stage Dao Monarchs numbering to about twenty experts are awaiting for him.

The various Dao Monarchs were shocked to see only one of the six experts whom dared to challenge their Fang Clan.

Qi Meng then halted his steps.

As the pair of snow wings spread out, his feet floated at about a hundred meters above the ground. He then raised his right hand and waved it down on the the direction of his opponents.

Instantly after his cue, the dark azure clouds condensed even more and bolts of lightning poured down towards the Dao Monarchs.

"Thunder Storm!"

Bang... Bang... Bang.... Krrriiikkkk... Krrriiikkkk....

The Dao Monarchs wanted to move away but they were instantly immobilized. They felt something struck the innermost part of their body.

A few seconds later, the surroundings was then suddenly covered with ice and snow.

"Eclipse Domain!"

"Azure Cloud Lightning Domain!"

"Snow and Ice Domain!"

Three core essences domains simultaneously struck the experts below. Under the pressure of these three domains together, their strength was gradually constrained and reduced to about sixty to seventy percent.

Qi Meng with his awesome essence cloak is vulnerable to the five juniors' domain.

Each of the domains consisted of two essences. Qi Min's azure cloud core essence played a vital role among two of these domains.

Currently, he is working together with Qi Jiang and Chu Yang forming the Azure Cloud Lightning Domain and Eclipse Domain respectively.

"Snow Wind Ice Tornado!"

Hundreds of tornado consisted of ice blocks as sharp as blades brought by a heavy snow wind swept through all the Dao Monarch experts.

As they are being continually suppressed by Qi Meng's Soul Suppression and the five juniors' three essence domains, they were not able to retaliate and could only bear the aftermath of the fierce attacks.

These Dao Monarchs currently felt that they are truly experiencing a catastrophic-like real apocalypse have descended from the heavens to punish them.

They are expending too much of their stored essences to defend themselves which was unnecessary if they could dodge each of the incoming attacks..

Just after the bolts of lightnings and snow wind ice tornado attacks had stopped, suddenly at big hole was punctured through the dense dark azure clouds and a huge dark moon-like ball of energy directly descended towards the center of the area where the Dao Monarchs currently are immobilized.

"Eclipse Bomb!"

Bright rays of sunlight glowed down from above through the big hole as if a Holy God has descended.

This scene was too magnificent that everyone who saw it was mesmerized for a while.

Bang... Bang... Bang...

As the thick densely packed dark azure clouds compressing the nine heavenly suns cracked like snakes crawling around its surface upon the heavy impact of collision to the ground, the nine heavenly suns each of which having a diameter of five hundred meters exploded and blasted off in all directions.

All the Dao Monarchs within this area have no way of dodging this sudden explosion and they almost died from it.

The dense dark azure clouds and the snow and ice covering the whole area dispersed instantly upon the deafening explosion caused by the huge dark azure moon-like bomb.

A huge crater was formed on the earth after the humongous explosion.

As the dark azure clouds covering the entire Fang Clan's territory dispersed, one can see the magnitude of the attack.

Lying around the huge crater about a kilometer deep to the ground were the heavily injured and collapsed Dao Monarchs.

Looking from above the sky, even the five juniors were shocked at the magnitude of their combined attacks.

Of course, this is mainly due to Qi Meng's essence formation. They could not have done it without Qi Meng's aid.

The five juniors slowly descended from above beside Qi Meng.

"Let us go! All of you may need to conceal your presence again once we are outside of the Fang Clan's palace. I will go inside alone and retrieve the emblem." Qi Meng said.

"En!" The five juniors simultaneously replied.

After the fierce battle, they had consumed a lot of energy. They have to take another Level 4 essence elixirs to replenish their energy. Although they are not participating in the last battle, they must be prepared in case of any unexpected incidents to happen.

Qi Meng has now then removed the essence cloaks. He then integrated with his armor his unadorned knuckle fists with a gauntlet added to it and the foot spikes.

It really feels like heroic and cool when Qi Meng does this, making the five juniors filled with awe and reverence.
