《Overlord in Cultivation》C143. The Crisis
Advertisement
People were crying; beasts were howling!
The Army of Beast flooded into Base No. 9, causing awful injuries and casualties, and outside the city the corpses were piled up like a mountain!
Worse still, the leading powerhouse, Su Bingshuang, had been seriously wounded by Zu Yuankui’s soul, so a horrible panic was triggered.
The gate of Base No.9 soon collapsed by the brutal attack of beasts.
Zu Yan’s body revived. Although Zu Yan had perished, Zu Yuankui was so familiar with his body that he was capable of exerting an extreme combat power. With Su Yan’s absence, this “Zu Yan” was the mightiest of all on the Earth.
“Kill!”
Zu Yuankui laughed and dashed into Base No.9. He intended to demolish the whole Huaxia Alliance and get Su Yan out to occupy his body!
Rumble!
Right at this point, harsh sounds of dragon roars reverberated around Huaxia Alliance!
As all were astonished, over Huaxia City rose a dreadful figure with bronze body full of unfathomable and earthshaking power.
One after another huge dragon-shaped pillars ran through the sky with him. Suddenly, he gained overwhelming power that swept all over and turned into the most resplendent star of martial arts that shone upon the battered Earth.
Boom!
Appalling atmosphere pervaded as Yi Yuan drew a bow with his black hair fluttering. The whole Huaxia Alliance was trembling along.
Simply Houyi (“Lord Archer” in Chinese legend) reborn, Yi Yuan shot with the extremely horrible bow in hand.
The luminous bow swallowed countless natural essence and nearly turned Huaxia Alliance into a colossal black hole!
When the arrow was released, an extremely scary light ripped the night sky and rushed to Base No. 9, like a bloody dragon flying across hundreds of thousands of meters.
“Oh, shit!” Zu Yuankui’s face changed dramatically, as Zu Yan’s body was locked by the arrow spirit!
It was not an arrow of energy but the Blood Lance that Yi Yuan shot. And the combination of two legendary weapons, the lance and the bow, created a tremendous power beyond imagination.
Zu Yuankui was close to desperate. Another super master hand on the Earth?!
With a repaired Destiny Spring, Yi Yuan’s fighting capacity was more frightening than Zu Yan’s!
“He is martial lord!”
Huaxia Alliance was boiling. The arrow was so extraordinarily dreadful that it cut through the night sky, like a dominant blood-dragon.
Zu Yan’s body collapsed entirely, with his heart being penetrated by the arrow!
By uniting his soul with the heaven, Zu Yankui escaped and howled with grief, “Without Zu Yan's body, what can I do even with a powerful soul?”
“Kill!” Martial Lord dashed out aggressively to kill Zu Yuankui!
Su Bingshuang smiled satisfactorily. Martial Lord had in fact woken up from his secluded cultivation ten days ago. It was their plan to lure Zu Yuankui here and he jumped right into the trap.
“I’m not giving up!”
Zu Yankui was overwhelmed with rage as he crossed the space to escape. Why would such an aboriginal planet have a mighty King Body, and a freak, Su Yan?
His dream just shattered!
It should be noted that there was basically no room for growth in the light of the soul without body. The appearance of Martial Lord left Zu Yuankui in despair.

“Huaxia Alliance, this is not the end of the matter. Anyway, I will make the whole Earth barren. I still have a chance. As long as I report the secrets here to my leaders, the big shots in Zu Palace will surely try to find me a strong body!”
Escaping to Zu Yan’s den, Zu Yankui, with this decision in place, took out a set of whopping-priced formation plates. Cornered with no other choice, he would too perish on the Earth if he didn’t summon the powerhouses from Zu Palace. By then, the secrets here would be buried forever!
There were hundreds of formation plates suffused with divine starlight that mingled together and formed an enormous formation plate of starry sky!
Zu Yuankui had been keeping these plates all the while!
He got them from Zu Palace, this was an extremely rare set of starry sky plates, even more precious than Legendary Weapon of Dao. When they first landed on Earth many years ago, no natural essence was found, so they couldn’t activate the plate.
However, Environment on Earth changed. The exuberant natural essence in the snow mountain was able to give full play to the energy of the starry sky plates, which therefore could communicate with its counterpart in Zu Palace!
Rumble!
The Great Formation of Starry Sky released horrific swallowing power. Combined by hundreds of formation plates, it burned immediately and devoured frantically the exuberant natural essence!
From this moment on, dazzling light of starry sky emitted from a corner of the Earth and radiated into the outer space!
At the moment, the whole Huaxia Alliance fell silent!
Yi Yuan and others looked livid. They had seen, in ancient books, some terrifically frightening Formations of Starry Sky that could travel across galaxies!
“What a calamity!” Xia Ze roared, his voice spreading all over Huaxia Alliance, “I am Xia Ze. Huaxia Alliance is now on a razor’s edge. Aliens have launched a Formation of Starry Sky which can connect with other planets and even send people over. Once the powerhouses break in, our whole planet will probably be enslaved by them!”
The Alliance trembled, wreathed in fear, for once the day came, there would be hell to pay!
“All masters of Taoist Door Realm, let’s fight our way out. We must destroy the Formation!” Xia Ze raised his hand and issued a rousing call.
There were now ten masters in Taoist Door Realm in the alliance, and among which, Martial Lord Yi Yuan enjoyed the strongest fighting capacity!
Without any hesitation, they dashed to Zu Yan’s den to ruin Zu Yuankui’s plan!
“Is it really so dangerous?” Someone said in terror, “Warlord Xia Ze and others marched on without stopping for a moment. Would there really be many aliens coming to Earth?”
All were panic-stricken.
“It’s ridiculous of you nobodies to dream of destroying Formation of Starry Sky!”
Zu Yuankui grinned hideously, “I’ve been pushed to this point, and I gave up everything. It’s the time for you Huaxia Alliance to pay the price!”
Rumble!
The momentum of the Formation became more appalling, with thousands of beams of starlight shooting toward the starry sky!

Soon it got response. There came endless starlight from the outer space which cascaded down upon the Great Formation of Starry Sky that covered an area with a radius of 5000 meters!
“It must be destroyed!”
Martial Lord and others wielded deadly weapons crazily to attack the Formation!
But its power was too dreadful to be destroyed even when they exerted the strongest power. Under the joint attack of all masters, the Formation only gave a slight shake.
“A crowd of nobodies. You won’t make it!” Zu Yuankui grinned ferociously, “When my race’s powerhouses come, the entire Earth will be wiped out, and hundreds of millions of living beings will be buried!”
His voice chilled the back of Yi Yuan and others, for this was what they feared most. If the Great Formation of Starry Sky could really communicate with the super forces in the outer space, what could the Earth do to resist the invasion of aliens?
Not willing to give up, Xia Ze and others kept bombarding the Formation with their full might!
But it didn’t work. The Formation was too firm and solid as it had taken in the power of starry sky and Earth Vein. It was now glowing the extreme aura of the starry sky.
Huaxia Alliance was as silent as a grave with many in pale as they felt a forthcoming disaster!
“Warlord Su Yan!”
Some shouted and looked at Crack of Chaos, but they sighed since even the joint effort of martial lord and others could not smash the Formation, that Su Yan appeared made no difference to the matter!
The footsteps of death were approaching Huaxia Alliance!
***
This very day, in the Crack of Chaos, Holy Territory...
Waves of chanting sounds reverberated here.
Each syllable was being chanted loud, and the whole Holy Territory undulated along, showering divine radiance of rules.
Here sat a figure, with legs crossed, soaked in the great charm of Tao!
Over his head floated a tripod with dazzling starlight falling down and brilliant scriptures interwoven on its body. The tripod was getting increasingly startling like a gate of Tao. The tripod’s potential was recovering, filled with scary power that was about to smash the heaven and earth!
With Su Yan’s cultivation levelling up, this tripod evolved, extraordinarily.
Buzz!
It shrank swiftly to a glittering and translucent small tripod and disappeared into Su Yan’s Destiny Spring!
At this moment, Su Yan's Destiny Spring erupted, and its spirit of essence began to wake up continuously. When this tripod thundered in his Destiny Spring, it emitted endless power of rules. Gradually, his Destiny Spring seemingly evolved into a vague gate. As the power of rules accumulated, the whole Spring got shockingly intricate and profound.
Incipient Scripture, Destiny Spring Realm, Implement Constructing Realm, and Taoist Door Realm…the natural path of leveling up.
Taoist Door Realm was the fourth stage that required one to demonstrate his grasp of the rules in Destiny Spring. Like an independent world, Destiny Spring was able to evolve into nine doors. It was said that if eventually the nine Taoist doors were united as one, the Great Door of Dao would be cultivated to gain Divine Magic power!
“Good fellow!”
The Old Taoist had been paying close attention to the cultivation of Su Yan. At this moment, he saw the Destiny Spring of Su Yan displaying the dense power of rules.
The copied rules were accumulating more with every passing day!
The Old Taoist found the rules Su Yan copied were the same to those of the entire Holy Territory!
Once this process was finished, it was the moment when Su Yan opened Sacred Door!
***
Things got worse in Huaxia Alliance, as the morale of the Alliance was greatly damaged as time went on.
Xia Ze and others tried every means they could to destroy the Formation, but the Great Formation of Starry Sky simply couldn’t be stopped!
“We cannot stop it!”
“Yes, it’s so strong that all the forces of the Earth together cannot stop it!”
Some masters of Taoist Door Realm fell in despair. After these days of unceasing attack, the Formation remained intact.
They were wondering if there had been powerhouses from Zu Palace starting to traverse galaxies, along the power of the Formation, to get to Earth!
Only Zu Yuankui knew that Formation of Starry Sky needed some time to work!
It took at least ten days or two weeks. He didn't know how far away Earth was from Zu Palace, but as long as the Formation could play to the extreme, it was capable of arousing its counterpart’s reaction!
“What?”
On this day day, Zu Yuankui was very excited as he seemed to find the Formation buzzing.
Zu Yuankui could not stop laughing, “You guys gonna die. In less than half a month, my race’s powerhouses will cross the galaxies to come here, destroying Huaxia Alliance, crushing you as easily as insects, then the Earth will be ruled by my race!”
On the other side of the Formation was an ancient Hall of Chaos. Inside which sat a stream of blurred figures with their legs crossed. They were sitting in Chaos, and appeared as if they hadn’t moved over the long years.
The tranquil Hall of Chaos had a mysterious and formidable atmosphere which nearly made the Chaos tremble and it seemed that even Chaos itself was unable to seal up their vitality.
“A small team out of contact for centuries suddenly launched Formation of Starry Sky!”
A shadow woke up so chaos split, the sun wept, and moon mourned. He was so horrible that he could be called God of Chaos, who made a great noise that almost made the sky shudder!
“Based on the general perception of matrix formation, the destination is very far away, so is it worth the expenses of resources?”
Crossing the domain?
It was too difficult!
Even with the help of Formation of Starry Sky, it was costly to send people over. And these superior big shots wouldn’t easily pay such a high price.

I was Reborn as the Villainess but I will become a Great Sage
Nova Allandis, formerly known as Suna Lee, remembers her previous life and realizes her current life is as the villainess in a fantasy novel she once read. However, as Suna, she was the laziest person with no motivation, possibly attributed to the fact that she didn't go into a major that was her strongest suit. Now that she has a high affinity towards magic and wishes to go into it, will she be able to change her lazy self for the better, or will she go back to being lazy like the villainess in the novel? Can she become a Great Sage and live life happily this time? Note: This is not a "revenge of the villainess" novel, but rather a "rise to fame" novel. A/N: This is just an experimental novel and criticisms are much appreciated, but I'm extremely defensive of my own work and characters. If you are here to put down a novel, please remember, first of all, you are not paying anything to read this, and second of all, authors are humans too.
