Chapter 1105: Laughing and Defeating the Immortal Alliance

Chapter 1115

Defeating the Immortal Alliance with a Smile

Whether viewed with the naked eye or observed with divine sense, these golden phantoms seemed indistinguishable from real cultivators. It was impossible to tell truth from illusion. Within moments, the entire sky above the Spiritwood Realm was filled with the figures of these golden-armored cultivators. Their mission, it appeared, was not merely to attack, but to provide detailed intelligence about the Spiritwood Realm for the main forces following behind.

"How do you find this golden armor?" Li Fan asked Fang Zaiji calmly.

Fang Zaiji squinted, observing carefully for a moment, then replied with a hint of arrogance, "It's nothing more than a high-end illusion. I thought their Myriad Immortal Alliance had truly developed armor capable of infinite self-replication!" He added confidently, "With a few probes, we can dispel the illusion and locate the true entities!"

"It seems that with the technological boost from the Heaven's Secret Realm, the Spiritwood Realm has somewhat surpassed the Myriad Immortal Alliance in artifact refining," Li Fan remarked, satisfied with the answer. He waved his hand, signaling Fang Zaiji that a test was unnecessary.

Suddenly, a gigantic, arc-shaped light sphere appeared, enveloping the entire Spiritwood Realm. Its surface was covered in intricate metal patterns that constantly shifted. Under Li Fan's command, these patterns instantly formed into numerous dark cannon muzzles.

"Boom!"

The muzzles locked onto the golden-armored cultivators swirling across the sky. Then, countless black light beams fiercely erupted from them! Faced with these destructive black rays, the golden-armored cultivators couldn't resist in the slightest, instantly tearing into shreds and vanishing into thin air.

Just one volley obliterated more than half of the countless golden phantoms. This terrifying sight caused the remaining golden-armored cultivators to freeze for a moment. As they hesitated, another round of bombardment arrived instantly. Against the black death rays, the golden armor was as fragile as paper. All the golden phantoms across the Spiritwood Realm were utterly annihilated.

"With the Heaven's Secret Fortress combined with the Sky-Rending Cannons, which mimic the Myriad Immortal Alliance's own technology, there's no need to worry about any fancy illusions. No matter how numerous, just eliminate them all," Li Fan thought to himself. "This is what's known as overcoming all obstacles with a single, overwhelming force."

He also checked the energy reserves stored in the Heaven's Secret Fortress. The fortress was integrated with the Spiritwood Realm. The countless living corpses continuously operating the All-Life Spirit Yuan Art in the main square, along with the vast number of cultivators in various sub-worlds, constantly supplied it with energy. Through this period of accumulation, the energy had reached an astonishing level. Li Fan estimated that the barrage just unleashed could be sustained continuously for seven days and seven nights without depletion.

"What other tricks do you have? Bring them on," Li Fan thought, his gaze cold as he watched the constantly fluctuating fissure that served as the entrance.

Having consecutively lost two vanguard units, the Myriad Immortal Alliance seemed to have grown much more cautious. This time, after not much deliberation, they finally deployed their true elite forces. Before their forms even appeared, a surging, murderous aura already permeated the air from afar.

The fissure suddenly widened significantly, causing Li Fan's heart to pound. He immediately activated the Heaven's Secret Fortress's defensive capabilities. In an instant, the arc-shaped light barrier violently shook, with wave-like patterns constantly flowing across it. It took a long time to neutralize the inexplicable impact.

Upon checking, Li Fan's eyelids twitched. The Heaven's Secret Fortress's energy storage, which he had just considered abundant, had lost a sixth of its reserves in that brief moment! And the Myriad Immortal Alliance forces that launched the attack had not even revealed themselves!

"What was that?!" Li Fan narrowed his eyes. The subordinates in the Spiritwood Realm also sensed something, their expressions turning tense and uneasy.

"Esteemed Emissary, be careful. The enemy has likely arrived," Liu Ruchen suddenly cautioned in a low voice. Before he finished speaking, the Heaven's Secret Fortress's light barrier shook even more violently than before, dimming considerably. Clearly, it had once again shielded the Spiritwood Realm from this unknown enemy's attack.

Li Fan knew that without the Heaven's Secret Fortress, the Spiritwood Realm would likely be riddled with holes by now. But despite the enemy having launched two attacks, the people of the Spiritwood Realm still had no idea what kind of entity they were facing.

"As expected of a vast organization that rules half of the Xuanhuang Realm. They truly possess hidden cards I haven't discovered in my many cycles of reincarnation," Li Fan thought, feeling excited rather than alarmed in the face of this tricky enemy. He felt that with this discovery alone, even if the Spiritwood Realm were completely destroyed, it would still be worth it.

However, the current Spiritwood Realm had gathered the forces of many surviving ancient cultivation realms. It was not truly so easily annihilated.

While everyone was bewildered and unable to understand the situation, Baihua Daoren made a discovery after careful observation. "I seem to have heard a friend mention this type of attack before."

"A fierce beast hidden in the void, feeding on the continents of cultivation realms. Ordinary people cannot see its body; each claw and strike possesses the power to destroy a world..."

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a void behemoth named Annihilation."

"In reality, it's not a true living entity, but a self-operating manifestation of a certain rule in the star sea," Baihua Daoren quickly explained to everyone. "My friend's world encountered this terrifying existence when it was drifting in the void during the Great Tribulation."

"The solution is also simple: Annihilation is only interested in cultivation realms with life. Barren, lifeless lands do not fall under its observation."

"I just never imagined that the Myriad Immortal Alliance could control such a fierce beast, which normally only acts according to rules, and use it against enemies," Baihua Daoren said, his eyes turning incredibly solemn. He had previously felt a slight disdain for the Myriad Immortal Alliance due to their two previous easy failures.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. They then all looked at Li Fan. Concealing the life force of an entire world was not a difficult task for Li Fan.

After a moment's thought, while the Annihilation beast continued its attacks and the Heaven's Secret Fortress's energy reserves had dwindled to just one-third, its light barrier emitted a soft, silvery glow. With the dual overlay of the Heaven's Secret Fortress and the Spiritwood Realm's grand formation, the entire world's life force finally faded away before the protective measures were completely shattered.

Everyone held their breath, waiting. After all, dealing with a powerful monster like Annihilation, which had no discernible physical form, was extremely difficult.

Fortunately, Baihua Daoren's guess was correct. Losing the sensation of life force, the terrifying behemoth seemed to lose its target for attack. It subsequently ceased its assault.

In this third confrontation, the Spiritwood Realm achieved a hard-won victory.
