Chapter 519: A Complicated Situation

"Jianlong Army! Initiate the Sky Strike!"
Just a moment after they escaped from the Miao Ying Palace with the Primordial Gold Talisman, Reverend Li Yang and his company bumped into the thirty flying ships of Jianlong Army . Unintentionally, he had made quite a show of strength, rushing straight into the army with the Ruyi scepter . It looked as though he was about to attack them . Out of instinct, the commander of Jianlong Army gave out the order to strike .
The Sky Strike Formation was one of the standard offensive formations employed by Great Yu military, a formation commonly used to attack targets right below the army . It possessed both a strong offensive and defensive strength, and came with the effects of locking down the void and slowing down the enemies . It was the go-to formation when the armies of Great Yu were hunting Immortals .
As the command was passed down, the bottom of all thirty flying ships broke apart suddenly, separating into numerous large, curvy planks that scattered across all directions amidst faint dark glows . A total of over six thousand planks interlocking with one another, forming into a huge, triangular rune formation . All the planks were densely embedded with countless spirit bones, and some runes were written using fresh blood as they formed into three-dimensional runes that kept drawing the natural energies in the surroundings, stirring the water in the Northern Ocean and making it rock and roll violently .
In the blink of an eye, a triangular beam of blinding light, burst out from the huge rune formation, shooting straight down as it enveloped Reverend Li Yang and his company . Meanwhile, after the bottom of all the flying ships flew out, over six hundred crystal pillars with multiple surfaces revealed themselves beneath the ships . Each of the pillars was embedded with numerous energy stones of various sizes, and an upper-grade immortal stone polished into a circular cone was embedded on top of each pillar .
Following another order issued by the commander of Jianlong Army, all six hundred crystal pillars shot out beams of strong light at the same time . Runes could be vaguely seen blinking within the pillars, and a tremendous energy wave emanated from the pillars had shaken the Miao Ying Palace . While ascending at a high speed, Reverend Li Yang and his company felt their bodies tremble as the triangular beam of light smashed on them from above . The void became sluggish abruptly, folding up over and over again like a piece of paper . In just a flash, the distance of an inch had become thousands of miles, and their ascending speed had also slowed down by thousands of time . Even a snail could crawl faster than them right now .
Reverend Li Yang could not help but grumble inwardly . He knew very well of the exact usage of the Bodhi leaf he had produced, Although it was truly a Primordial Gold Talisman given by an almighty expert, it focused only on saving one's life and did not come with a strong offensive strength, nor did it have any additional powers . This talisman could not break the Sky Strike Formation . On top of that, should he allow the formation to keep attacking, the talisman would soon be destroyed even if it were one crafted by a Primordial Immortal .
'I've to fight for my life!' Reverend Li Yang smiled wanly as he rested his eyes on those crystal pillars underneath the huge flying ships, watching how the beams of strong light thrust out of them .
He reckoned that these crystal pillars must be the Immortal Annihilation Pillars Great Yu used to do battle with Immortals . A random strike of each pillar was as powerful as the attack of a Heaven Immortal . With more energy stones and immortal stones embedded on them, a full power strike from any of the pillars could reach the strength of a top-tiered Heaven Immortal . And, when all six hundred pillars jointly launched an attack, focusing all their firepower on one single target, they could produce an offensive strength of a Gold Immortal . Even Reverend Li Yang himself dared not to be attacked by six hundred Immortal Annihilation Pillars at the same time .
Reverend Li Yang had no other choice but to put up a desperate fight . He made the Primordial Gold Talisman protect all his fellow disciples, then threw out the giant seal from under his sleeve, transforming it into a huge mountain, about one mile in circumference, and forming a defensive line right above his head . Sparing no efforts, the mountain kept drawing the natural energy found in the surroundings, such as Water element energy from the Northern Ocean, as well as Fire element energy from the underground fire energy veins .
The other six Gold Immortals followed suit, unleashing their prime magical treasures which they had refined with their own lives, getting ready to launch a joined attack with Reverend Li Yang . Only by defeating the thirty flying ships of Jianlong Army and making it to the surface would they have the chance to escape from this calamity .
An array of dazzling light suddenly lit up in the pitch-dark ocean . All six hundred Immortal Annihilation Pillars had launched an attack at the same time with their strongest power, targeting Reverend Li Yang . The attack vaporized a great amount of water instantly, and the rapidly expanding gases exploded almost instantaneously, creating a huge empty space that measured over one thousand miles in diameter under the ocean . In the next moment, the tremendous pressure of the water came pressing towards the empty space from all directions, causing its size to shrink at an incredible rate . The violent impact and drastic change in size had sliced off a large part of the underwater mountains .
Six hundred beams of strong light came crashing down onto Reverend Li Yang and his six fellow Gold Immortals, who were all shrouded in the purple smoke emanating from the Primordial Gold Talisman . The incredible force pushed them tens of miles down into the ocean, nearly throwing them headfirst into Miao Ying Palace . Reverend Li Yang bellowed a spell . Immediately, a strong light of red and blue colors burst out of the huge seal rolling above his head as it transformed into a strange beast, its enormous body shaped like a ball . Upon making its appearance, the beast opened its mouth and darted towards the flying ships .
One after another, all the other six Gold Immortals unleashed their Prime Immortal items . Each of them transformed into different strange beasts and birds, issuing sharp screeches and howls while leaping and flying towards the Jianlong Army .
The giant rune formation pressed down abruptly . As that happened, the triangular beam of light shrunk rapidly until it measured only hundreds of feet in thickness . Amidst an ear-splitting whistle, seven Gold Immortal items slammed into the Sky strike Formation . A tiny black speck sparked from the center of the collision, growing its edge to tens of miles away in just a flash .
Everything within tens of miles had vanished into nothingness . The Sky Strike Formation was gone . Out of seven Gold Immortal items, only Reverend Li Yang's great seal flew back to its master with a forlorn cry . Thirteen of the thirty flying ships had evaporated into puffs of smoke, with all tens of thousands of human soldiers on-board having their existences wiped out completely .
Upon seeing that the Sky Strike Formation was destroyed, Reverend Li Yang cried out at the top of his voice, "Let's go now!"
At that moment, Feng Lingling exerted all his force to smite the purple Ruyi scepter with his barbed mace . A deafening boom rang out . The impact shattered the barbed mace, turning it into metal powders that sprinkled down onto the ocean floor . Feng Lingling backed off hurriedly with blood oozing out of his seven apertures . "It is indeed a Primordial Gold Talisman produced by a Primordial Immortal! Damn it! What b*stard set me up?" he cursed .
The presence or absence of a Primordial Immortal serving as Green City's backing were two completely different situations . As Reverend Li Yang was able to defend himself with a Primordial Gold Talisman, it proved that Green City had established some kind of relationship with at least one Primordial Immortal . So, when Feng Lingling brought his men to attack the Immortals of Green City, he had unintentionally offended some Primordial Immortal . It was a known fact that all almighty experts always cherished their faces . Even when someone had just touched a withered leaf in front of their door, they might call upon all their friends to wipe out that someone's entire sect!
