Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 15001 Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array

In the void, Hu Xie and Xiao Lianzhu fought fiercely, neither gaining the upper hand.

Space was torn apart, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Although Xiao Lianzhu is clearly stronger in terms of strength, the difference is not significant, and it will not be easy for her to defeat Hu Xie in a short period of time.

Hu Xie's goal was very simple: to keep Xiao Lianzhu occupied. As long as Xiao Lianzhu did not interfere, the Demon Soul Clan was confident enough to destroy the Silent Court.

Clearly, he achieved his goal. He attacked with all his might from the beginning, keeping Xiao Lianzhu from paying attention to anything else.

Although Xiao Lianzhu easily dodged several attacks and was even injured by the opponent's counterattack, none of that mattered. As long as she didn't die, everything was fine.

"Heh heh, little wench, aren't you one of the eight strongest warriors in the Chaotic Martial World? Is this all the strength you have? You're far from capable of killing me!"

Hu Xie grinned maliciously, deliberately provoking Xiao Lianzhu, for the same reason.

On the other side, Yelü Tian looked down over the entire Silent Court, searching for Xiang Ying's shadow.

He brought a large army here today to kill Xiang Ying and prevent him from having the opportunity to break through to the True Self Realm.

"We've found Xiang Ying. He's cultivating in a secret chamber deep within the Silent Court."

Yelü Tian gave a cold laugh, but then frowned: "Has anyone seen Ling Xiao? Wasn't he here to help Xiang Ying? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"

The old elder hurriedly said, "I haven't seen him. This Lingxiao is cunning and might be hiding in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to ambush us. We must be on guard. He also has a special method of concealment that makes it difficult for us to detect him!"

"No, given that kid's personality—he's vindictive and arrogant—he can't possibly be hiding. He must be plotting something, a conspiracy that could overturn the entire situation!"

Yelü Tian shook his head; he felt that something was amiss.

"What should we do then?" The old temple caretaker frowned as well.

After pondering for a moment, Yelü Tian suddenly looked behind him and said, "Senior brother, don't make a move for now. In case that brat Ling Xiao tries something underhanded, keep you around for a rainy day."

Yelü Huang scoffed, "That Ling Xiao is only at the Returning to Truth Realm. Is there any need to be wary of him? If he dares to make a move, I can crush him with one hand!"

"Senior brother, you must not be careless. Although you are stronger than me, that kid is cunning and we must be on guard."

Yelü Tian reminded him.

"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll listen to you."

As a veteran powerhouse of the Demon Soul Clan, Yelü Huang didn't really care about Ling Xiao. The only person he was wary of was Jia Shi. However, since Yelü Tian was now in charge, he would obey orders.

"Elder, you should not make a move either. Be vigilant in secret and remember to keep in close contact with the clan!"

Yelü Tian was somewhat worried about Yelü Huang's personality, so he gave him special instructions.

"Yes, sir!"

The old retainer cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

Yelü Tian was relieved and turned his gaze back to the Silent Court: "No matter what tricks that kid is up to, let's deal with this place first. After we deal with Xiang Ying, we'll go back and settle accounts with him. Let's see where he can hide then!"

The next moment, he raised the bone staff in his hand, activated his divine power, and concentrated it on the bone staff. A terrifying aura began to permeate the entire sky.

Suddenly, the void behind him began to tear apart, trembling violently.

A huge crack suddenly appeared.

Countless wronged souls poured out from the cracks.

These wronged souls rapidly merged, eventually transforming into a terrifying giant that blotted out the sky.

The giant was hundreds of feet tall, exuding an incredibly terrifying aura.

It seemed like a ferocious creature crawling out of the deepest hell.

This ferocious creature, simply by standing there, could make all the warriors of the Silent Court tremble.

"Go to hell!"

Yelü Tian roared and pointed his bone staff at the ground.

The ferocious creature also stretched out its hand at the same time, striking the Silent Court with a palm.

This palm strike blotted out the sky and covered almost the entire Silent Court. Wherever it passed, space shattered and collapsed, turning into nothingness.

Bang!

The giant palm landed on the protective array of the Silent Extinction Court, emitting a terrifying roar. The entire array groaned under the force of this palm strike.

Countless tiny cracks began to appear on the barrier formed by the great formation, emitting creaking sounds as if it might break at any moment.

"Dean Yao, is there any way?"

The old man in black robes looked at Yao Tianji anxiously. If the sect's protective formation was shattered with just one strike, they would be finished.

"Don't worry, it won't be that easy for him to break the formation!"

Yao Tianji shouted and raised his hand, a sacred rune pen appeared in his hand. Then he drew sacred runes in the air and integrated them into the sect's protective formation, and the original damaged marks began to be repaired.

But this is not enough.

Yao Tianji gave another order: "Everyone from the Holy Rune Academy, listen up! Deploy the Sky-Supporting Holy Rune Array! Once the protective array of the Silent Extinction Court is destroyed, we must use the Sky-Supporting Holy Rune Array to resist it."

As soon as he gave the order, thousands of Saint Rune Masters from the Saint Rune Academy attacked simultaneously, and countless Saint Rune Stones flew out from their hands. These Saint Rune Stones were mostly five-star and six-star, and their power was immense.

Even more so, there were a few seven-star sacred rune stones among them. Although they did not reach the high level of seven-star, they were still incomparable to five-star and six-star sacred rune stones.

So many sacred rune stones flew into the air, all of them transforming into sacred runes, and then forming a huge sacred rune array.

This is the Sky-Supporting Sacred Pattern Array.

This will be the replacement should the sect's protective formation fail to withstand the attacks of the Demon Soul Clan.

The Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array is currently the strongest defensive array that the Sacred Rune Academy can set up, with over a thousand five-star and six-star Sacred Rune Stones at its core.

Presided over by Yao Tianji, its defensive capabilities are extremely strong, capable of withstanding even attacks from peak Void Extinction Realm experts.

The reason why the Holy Rune Academy has survived numerous invasions by foreign enemies over the years is because of this formation, which is one of the Holy Rune Academy's greatest trump cards.

In the void, the ferocious creature, seeing that one strike was insufficient, launched another attack.

The giant palm repeatedly struck the protective array of the Silent Court.

Boom boom boom...

After being bombarded dozens of times, the protective formation finally gave way and shattered with a crack.

The giant hand slammed down swiftly.

However, it was blocked by the Sky-Supporting Sacred Pattern Array.

boom!

A tremendous roar resounded once more, but the Sky-Supporting Sacred Rune Array steadily blocked this attack, living up to everyone's high expectations.

"it is good!"

"Hold on! What we need now is time. If we can hold out for three more days, once Xiang Ying breaks through, we'll win!"

Yao Tianji roared.

There was no other way; they were being passively attacked at this point, so they still needed to boost morale. Otherwise, if morale dropped, they wouldn't even have the will to fight later.

"What a magnificent Heaven-Supporting Sacred Rune Array! Do you think your Sacred Rune Academy can be wiped out so easily? Fine, I'll grant your wish!"

Yelü was furious. He thought that destroying the protective array of the Silent Court would be the end of it, but unexpectedly, another Heaven-Supporting Sacred Rune Array appeared. It was a real headache.

He reached out and took out a black crystal, which he then incorporated into the bone staff.

The next moment, the ferocious creature let out a terrifying roar and launched another attack.

This time it wasn't a giant hand, but a fist.

The fists attacked wildly, dozens of times.

Many of the powerful members of the Holy Rune Academy responsible for maintaining the Sky-Supporting Holy Rune Array were shaken so badly that they vomited blood, and some of the weaker ones even fainted.

However, the Sky-Supporting Sacred Pattern Array remains intact.

On the contrary, the ferocious creature seemed to suffer a huge backlash, and its fist began to disintegrate.

"It's blocked!"

"Great! Our Holy Rune Array has blocked this attack. Everyone, hang in there, we will definitely win!"

"Yes, everyone who still has Holy Rune Stones should take them out. There's no need to hide them now."

"We must hold them off, or we'll all die!" (End of Chapter)
