I am a fairy in Journey to the West
Chapter 697 Bombing the Boundary Sky
Just four days after Feng Dingzhou, Lei Qing'e, and Feng Wuzhi arrived in Wuding Realm, the armies of the Earth and Fire clans appeared in the territory of Wuding Realm.
At this moment, Wuding Realm had already made defensive preparations, with Vice General Li Ji leading 1,500 divine generals to guard the activated ley lines in various parts of Wuding Realm.
As long as these earth veins are not damaged and can continuously supply earth energy to the sky, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation will remain as stable as Mount Tai.
In addition, the Great Sage Huangfeng assigned ninety-nine divine generals to stay at the Grand Commandant's Mansion and Zhang Tian's camp at Wanren Mountain. These ninety-nine people were under the command of Xue Baochai.
The last ten thousand men were led by another deputy general, Xie Xuan, and waited in the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation above the Wuding Realm, ready to engage in battle at any time.
The Great Sage Huang Feng personally oversaw the operation within the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation. He would personally intervene if any member of the opposing army possessed combat strength exceeding that of General Zhang Tianying.
Inside the realm, Xue Baochai had already led Feng Dingzhou, Lei Qing'e, and Feng Wuzhi to the highest point of Wanren Mountain. Because of the existence of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation, the clouds in the sky were difficult to condense, and cultivators could see the scenery outside the sky from inside the realm.
“They’re here.” Feng Wuzhi looked at the ten enormous sky ships hovering above Wuding Realm, blocking out most of the sky and giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.
After the celestial boat hovered, countless immortal cultivators from the Fire and Earth races immediately flew out from it.
Banners of divine earth and divine fire fluttered and waved, and 300,000 immortal cultivators formed a battle formation above the Wuding Realm. The immortal power of the fire and earth clans surged and vibrated, instantly filling the sky above the Wuding Realm with the two energies of fire and earth.
The sky above Wuding Realm was shrouded in red and yellow; the red represented fire energy, and the yellow represented earth energy.
“I can’t see it anymore,” Lei Qing’e said.
Feng Dingzhou said to Xue Baochai, "The earth and fire elements have enveloped the sky, so I'm afraid we can't see what's happening outside the heavens from within the realm."
Xue Baochai pondered for a moment, then raised her hand and sent out a talisman that flew into the sky. Soon after, another talisman flew down and landed in front of Xue Baochai.
After Xue Baochai read the letter, she immediately said to the three immortals, "My three immortal masters, please come with me to heaven to see."
Upon hearing this, Feng Dingzhou and the other two were overjoyed. This was exactly what they had been waiting for. These kinds of wars are best observed up close; the closer you are, the more detailed you can see.
Soon Xue Baochai led the three of them into the sky, and at that moment, the Great Sage Huangfeng opened the central palace array gate and let them in.
After entering the array gate, the gate closed, and the three of them were very curious, feeling as if they were in a mysterious and strange space.
"Is this an array?" Lei Qing'e asked in surprise as she looked at the power of the array operating around her.
Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Three immortal masters, I must remind you that although watching the battle here is closer to the battlefield, it is also more dangerous."
“Since we have been ordered to come at this time, we are naturally aware of the dangers involved,” Lei Qing’e said with a smile.
Xue Baochai nodded slightly. At this moment, they looked up and saw a person fly out from among the 300,000 immortal cultivators of the Earth and Fire clans, shouting down: "Please, fellow Daoists from the Martial Realm, come out and speak."
Xie Xuan flew out and asked the man, "Who are you?"
The man cupped his hands and said, "I am Huo Yiteng, the Immortal Lord of the Fire Clan of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao. Who are you?"
Xie Xuan said, "I am Xie Xuan, the deputy general of Zhangtian Camp in Tianshu Province."
Huo Yiteng asked, "Is it the Heavenly Dao of Pangu?"
"Yes," Xie Xuan replied.
Huo Yiteng said, "My Fire Clan sent a celestial ship earlier, carrying 30,000 immortal cultivators. Did you see it?"
Xie Xuan replied, "I saw it, we wiped them out."
Huo Yiteng nodded and continued, "Fellow Daoist, look, my Fire and Earth clans lead an army of 300,000, with the might to swallow all realms and the power to suppress all heavens. If your Zhang Tian Camp knows what's good for you, why don't you surrender to my Five Elements Heavenly Dao and be given a mid-grade immortal status? Wouldn't that be much better than being buried in another world and being destroyed in body and soul?"
"Hahaha." Xie Xuan laughed loudly, then turned to Huo Yiteng and said, "Although my Zhang Tian Camp is small in number, we first destroyed the Dingwei Tianfang of the Tu Clan, and then destroyed the Yunliao Tianfang of the Huo Clan. What do you have to fear from your mere 300,000 men?"
Huo Yiteng snorted coldly, "If you are so ignorant of the times, you will be reduced to dust in no time."
Xie Xuan said, "In the heat of battle, there is no need for further words. All 300,000 of your troops may come."
Having said that, Xie Xuan stopped talking to him and turned back into the great formation.
Seeing this, Huo Yiteng flew back to the Sky Boat behind him and said to the two Immortal Lords of the Earth and Fire Clans who were in charge of leading the army: "Immortal Lord Yuanfa and Immortal Lord Zhengrong, these Pangu Heavenly Dao cultivators have cut off all ties with me and are truly ungrateful."
Tu Yuanfa and Huo Zhengrong exchanged a glance, and then Tu Yuanfa said, "Since they brought this upon themselves, let's put aside our pity."
Huo Zhengrong nodded, and then the two gave their respective orders to begin the attack.
As the banners of divine fire and divine soil began to flutter fiercely, the 300,000 immortal cultivators remained motionless. However, the ten celestial ships quickly lined up, and then the two Yilu Heavenly Bows on each ship immediately turned their direction, aiming at the Wuding Realm below.
Now that we've confirmed that the cultivator in Wuding Realm is a Pangu Heavenly Dao cultivator, we can just bombard him with the Yilutian Bow.
Because the cultivators of the Pangu Heavenly Dao are all beings from other Heavenly Dao realms, their souls will dissipate once their physical bodies perish, so there is no need to go to great lengths to eliminate them.
"Oh no, it's the Yilutian Bow!" Feng Wuzhi's expression changed. "Quickly get everyone out of here, or we'll be blasted to pieces along with the Wuding Realm."
Lei Qing'e said, "Don't panic, have you forgotten the great formation in front of us?"
Feng Wuzhi was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was in the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.
"Can it be defended against?" Feng Wuzhi asked again, "Those are twenty Yilu Tian Bows."
As they were talking, blinding white light suddenly burst forth from the sky. Feng Dingzhou, Lei Qing'e, Feng Wuzhi, and Xue Baochai all instinctively closed their eyes. At the same moment, twenty Yilu Tian Bows fired 'Slaying Arrows' at Wuding Realm.
Twenty arrows pierced through the boundary, radiating celestial light, and crashed down towards Wuding Realm like twenty meteors, causing the heavens to tremble and the void to distort.
A moment later, a series of loud noises accompanied by a powerful shockwave came down, but the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation activated in that instant, directly shattering the earth-shattering power.
"It actually blocked it!!!" Feng Dingzhou exclaimed in surprise. Lei Qing'e and Feng Wuzhi also hurriedly opened their eyes and saw that the destructive power of the twenty arrows had indeed vanished the moment they came into contact with the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.
The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation only rippled slightly, remaining completely still!
"Here we go again," Feng Wuzhi called out.
Everyone looked up and saw that the Yilu Tiangong on the ten celestial ships had once again fired arrows, and the bombardment continued wave after wave without stopping.
Huo Zhengrong stood on the bow of the ship, pointed at Wudingjie below, and shouted, "Don't hold back your arrows! Fire them all! Let's see how long these crooked and evil methods can hold out!"
On the ten celestial boats, a thousand immortal cultivators were constantly loading and firing the Heavenly Arrows of Slaughter. The arrows were arranged in neat rows like comets, piercing through the boundary and bombarding the Wuding Realm below wave after wave.
Under such terrifying bombardment, even Feng Dingzhou, Lei Qing'e, Feng Wuzhi and others changed their expressions. They stopped talking and looked up at the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation above their heads, feeling the ripples of power constantly rising within the formation.
Xue Baochai keenly observed that Feng Wuzhi's left hand was trembling slightly, while Feng Dingzhou and Lei Qing'e's cheeks were also twitching.
Clearly, the massive bombardment by the Yilutian Bow was something they had never encountered in their previous wars. Suddenly, Xue Baochai sensed something strange about the gaze of a divine general not far away. Xue Baochai was puzzled and followed his gaze downwards. A moment later, Xue Baochai blushed.
It turned out that her legs were also trembling slightly, so from the outside, the hem of her fairy robe appeared to be shaking.
When the general saw that Xue Baochai had noticed him looking at her, he quickly looked away and turned his head. Xue Baochai pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Faced with this kind of attack, it was already quite good that her legs were trembling.
At this moment, the bombardment of the Yilutian Bow continued, and the entire sky of Wuding Realm was shrouded in terrifying and noisy explosive power. Just a quarter of an hour later, the sky of Wuding Realm was bombarded, trembled, and burned by the power of the Yilutian Bow, turning it bright red.
Only the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation remained unmoved, sustained by the earth's energy below, continuously resisting the bombardment of the Yilutian Bow.
Meanwhile, within the Wuding Realm, the divine generals responsible for guarding the various earth vein altars were also diligently inspecting them. Once they discovered that the earth energy output from any earth vein altar had weakened, they would immediately take out the purple coins and refine them into acquired purple energy, which would then be injected into the altar to unblock and strengthen the earth veins.
Half an hour passed quickly. Despite the relentless bombardment from the Fire and Earth races, the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation remained undiminished in power, showing no signs of being breached or weakened. Meanwhile, the arrows on the ten celestial ships were almost exhausted, and the immortal cultivators responsible for reloading them immediately reported to Huo Zhengrong and Tu Yuanfa.
"What?! You used it all up so quickly?" Huo Zhengrong was full of surprise.
The deputy captains of each boat came to report: "My Lord, the bombing has been going on for half an hour."
Huo Zhengrong was speechless for a moment. Tu Yuanfa, who was standing next to him, did some calculations and his face immediately turned serious. He said, "Half an hour of bombing has not been able to break through their outer defenses? What exactly is that thing?" Tu Yuanfa pointed to the array screen of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.
Tu Yuanfa's answer was straightforward: "I don't know."
Huo Zhengrong paused for a moment, then felt the surroundings suddenly become quiet. He looked up and realized that the Yilu Tiangong of the ten Tianfang ships had stopped, but there were extremely violent forces constantly vibrating back and forth in the sky of Wuding Realm below, tearing the void of the realm.
"Reporting to the Immortal Lord, we have run out of arrows," a deputy boat captain reported.
Huo Zhengrong did not answer, but instead looked down at the Wuding Realm with Tu Yuanfa. They saw that the power of the void above the outer universe of the Wuding Realm was raging and boiling. It was the void shattering caused by the collision between the power of the Yilu Tiangong bombarding the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation and the power of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.
Although the shattering of the void did not affect the interior of the Wuding Realm, the shattered void and its violent power surrounded the entire Wuding Realm.
Simply put, before these voids are restored, people inside the Martial Realm cannot come out, and people outside cannot go in.
At this moment, Tu Yuanfa calculated again with his fingers, then frowned and said, "It will take at least a month for this void to recover. We can't use the Yilutian Bow anymore, otherwise we will never be able to attack Wuding Realm."
Huo Zhengrong didn't speak, but when he saw the shattered void enveloping the Wuding Realm, he suddenly had an idea: "I have a way to crack this tortoise shell."
Tu Yuanfa looked at Huo Zhengrong and asked, "What method?"
Huo Zhengrong pointed to the shattered void surrounding the Wuding Realm below and said, "As long as there are enough Yilu Heavenly Bows and Slaughter Arrows, we can shatter the entire void surrounding the Wuding Realm. If these shattered voids surrounding the Wuding Realm form a single, continuous area..."
Tu Yuanfa's eyes lit up: "Then the entire Wuding Realm will be swept into the void, and then completely crushed and annihilated by the power of the void."
“Yes,” Huo Zhengrong said, “It just means we’ll consume more arrows.”
Tu Yuanfa nodded and said, "Immediately send these ten Sky Boats back to replenish them with Arrows. Also, ask the two Immortal Lords to send ten more Sky Boats. No people are needed, just fill them with Arrows."
Huo Zhengrong laughed and said, "Great minds think alike!"
Therefore, both families immediately ordered the deputy captains of each of their celestial boats to lead one hundred immortal cultivators back to their old camp to replenish their arrows and to send back the additional letters.
After the ten celestial ships set sail, Tu Yuanfa and Huo Zhengrong ordered the 300,000 immortal cultivators in front of them to surround Wuding Realm and not allow a single person to escape.
Now, all they need to do is block the people inside Wuding Realm and prevent them from escaping. Once Lushi is replenished and reinforcements arrive, they can turn the entire Wuding Realm into ashes.
Meanwhile, in Wuding Realm, within the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation.
Feng Dingzhou, Lei Qing'e, and Feng Wuzhi were all amazed as they looked at the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams array above their heads. Lei Qing'e exclaimed, "So this is the Dao of Arrays."
Feng Wuzhi's eyes widened: "Half an hour, a full half an hour of bombing!! They actually withstood it all! And they even depleted their arrows!"
"I've certainly broadened my horizons today," Feng Dingzhou said. "It's a pity that my Fenglei Heavenly Dao has never paid attention to other Great Evolution Daos."
The Great Evolution Path is the 'Heavenly Laws'. From the moment it was created, the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Path has only focused on the two laws of wind and thunder. Even if cultivators who practice other laws and methods are born, they are only fleeting figures in history and eventually disappear into the river of time.
Therefore, after witnessing the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation today, these three people were surprised to realize that in the Heavenly Dao of Wind and Thunder, it is not only the power of wind and thunder that is the most powerful.
They should have realized this much earlier, from the moment the Five Elements Heavenly Dao invaded.
The three quickly realized what was happening and immediately used the magic of the Wind and Thunder clans to transmit the battle situation and circumstances back to the area.
But then Xue Baochai suddenly remembered something and said to the three of them, "Three Immortal Lords, did you just report the battle situation here to the Wind and Thunder Great World?"
“Yes.” The three nodded, and Feng Dingzhou asked, “Is there something wrong?”
Xue Baochai shook her head and smiled, pointing and saying, "Did you three see those ten departing celestial boats? They must be going back to replenish their arrows."
Upon hearing this, the three immediately understood Xue Baochai's meaning. There was no need for Xue Baochai to say anything more; the three of them immediately relayed this important information back as well.
Not long after, at the front line of the Heavenly Gate in the Wind and Thunder Great World, Dao Lord Yu Lei, Dao Lord Xuan Feng, and Dao Lord Ling Feng all received the messages sent back by Feng Dingzhou and the other two.
The three Dao Lords exclaimed in surprise after reading it, seemingly unable to believe what was said inside.
"Twenty Yilutian Bows bombarded the area for half an hour, but they were all defended against by the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation set up by Zhang Tianying?"
"All twenty Yilutian Bows have exhausted their arrows. Half an hour of bombardment has created a shattered void outside the Wuding Realm. It will take at least a month for this void to recover."
"The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Formation? The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Earth Vein can be used like this? So this is the Dao of Formations? Earth Vein can be used like this?"
"Ten celestial ships from the Fire and Earth clans have left the Wuding Realm, seemingly heading back to their old camp to replenish their arrows."
"This opportunity must not be missed. I urge the three Dao Lords to make a swift decision and dispatch men to intercept the retreating Heavenly Boat."
After reading the talismans, the three Dao Lords were extremely shocked by the contents, especially the content about the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Formation, but they did not waste too much time on it.
“The defensive capabilities of those ten retreating Sky Ships are certainly insufficient. If we send troops to intercept them, we will surely succeed,” said Daoist Lingfeng.
Xuanfeng Daojun hesitated for a moment and said, "What if Feng Dingzhou and the others didn't see it clearly, or what if those ten celestial ships have sufficient defensive capabilities?"
Lingfeng Daojun pondered these words, but Yulei Daojun was very decisive. He slammed his hand on the table and said, "The worst thing in doing things is to be hesitant and timid. Feng Wuzhi said in the message, 'Opportunity knocks but once.' We must not hesitate and miss this opportunity."
Upon hearing Lord Yu Lei's words, Lord Ling Feng also solidified his thoughts and said, "I agree. Didn't we gather 180,000 immortal cultivators to support Wu Ding Realm? Now it seems they are of greater use. I suggest sending 80,000 people to intercept this retreating Tianfang fleet."
Lord Yu Lei said, "I agree."
Without further hesitation, Xuanfeng Daojun nodded and said, "I agree as well."
Soon, an order was issued, and eight immortal lords of the Wind and Thunder Great World led eighty thousand immortal cultivators out of the Heavenly Gate, heading straight towards the Wuding Realm's boundary route to search for them.
Finally, after six days, the 80,000 immortal cultivators of the Wind and Thunder Great World finally discovered the whereabouts of the ten retreating celestial ships through celestial secrets, and immediately switched to battle formation, rushing directly towards them.
It must be said that the people of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao are used to running rampant in the world of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao. Apart from Zhang Tianying, they have not encountered many strong obstacles in the world of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao, so they inevitably become somewhat arrogant and complacent.
Therefore, the retreating Tianfang team did not take any precautions or make any careful preparations, and just casually traveled through the realm.
Thus, the outcome was already predetermined. When the 80,000 Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao Immortal Cultivators rushed over, the 1,000 people on the ten Heavenly Boats were unable to put up any effective resistance and were instantly annihilated.
Furthermore, since the owners of these celestial boats were all on the front lines of the Martial Realm and did not return, these ten celestial boats did not self-destruct and were directly captured by the immortal cultivators of the Wind and Thunder Great World.
When the 80,000 Wind and Thunder Immortals returned to the front line of the Wind and Thunder Great World with ten celestial ships after passing through the Nine Heavens, the entire front line was in an uproar, especially the three Dao Lords, whose mouths were stretched to the back of their ears with smiles.
Since the invasion of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao has suffered repeated defeats and retreats. In the end, it could only abandon the minor worlds and retreat to the Wind and Thunder Great World.
The capture of ten Heavenly Boats of the Five Elements Heavenly Path at once is unprecedented.
"This is a great victory!" Feng Dingzhou exclaimed. "Immediately report this victory to all the immortal abodes and all living beings in the Great World!!!"
When the good news from Tianmen was sent back to the center of the Fenglei Great World along with the ten celestial ships, and spread throughout the ten directions of the Fenglei Great World by the various immortal mansions, the entire Fenglei Great World was in an uproar.
The beings of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao desperately needed such a 'great victory.' In an instant, all the beings of the Wind and Thunder Great World raised their heads high, their morale soaring, sweeping away the gloom of previous consecutive defeats. The morale of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao was greatly boosted, and the vital energy of the beings surged, causing the weather and spiritual energy of the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao to begin to revive, becoming grand and prosperous.
