The Banishing Blades were named after the Banishing Blades, but in reality they were created by Daofather Hongjun, the ancestor of all immortals. It was the Prime of the Jie School who created the Banishing Formation that gave the Banishing Blades its name.
Lan Jue's immortal qi was of great benefit to his mastery of Captus.
What he needed now was to break through and advance.
Jun Yongye had once said that when he became a Paragon, his mastery of Captus would increase to a whole new level. The Pharmacist couldn't compare, because of the immortal qi that flowed through his veins.
However, as he studied the Pharmacist's protogenic aura, Lan Jue couldn't calm his mind.
In his mind, the image of the door of light that he had seen before and those three words kept flashing past.
The Gates of Slaughter!
At first he didn't understand why the Violet Princess had run. But soon he felt the change that came with the Gates of Slaughter's appearance.
The aura that erupted in that instant was definitely not inferior to the terrifying power that his father had unleashed when he had used Desperate Gambit.
More importantly, the House of Slaughter's aura had no effect on him or the Pharmacist.
Was this a special ability that came with Occisus after it became a Paragon?
If so, how strong would the Pharmacist be after she became a Paragon?
Would she be able to fight an Infinite-level master?
"Hurry up and calm your mind.
It's not as simple as you think. "Jun Yongye's solemn voice interrupted.
"Yongye, can you help me?
What happened just now was too shocking. I don't understand. I can't calm down. "Lan Jue's voice was helpless.
Jun Yongye explained. "The Gates of Slaughter is one of the protogenia of the Banishing Strategy.
It's so powerful that even a Da Luo would tremble before it. "
"The Banishing Strategy?"
Lan Jue was surprised. "But we don't have the Banishing Formation. How did it come to be?"
Jun Yongye explained. "When the Pharmacist broke through, she activated the essence of Occisus. When Occisus and Captus work together, one of the protogenia is the Gates of Slaughter.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had a total of eight gates, and the Immortal Slaying Gate was one of them.
We don't have an array diagram, so I can only borrow the aura of the Immortal Trapping Sword and Immortal Culling Sword to simulate the appearance of the Immortal Culling Sect.
Although it was only an imitation, its aura was enough to scare away the Violet Princess.
However, this kind of simulation is very difficult to complete. If it weren't for her breakthrough, I wouldn't have been able to do it.
If we had the Banishing Strategy, do you think the Violet Princess would be able to escape?
Even with only three swords, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is enough to turn her into ashes in an instant. "
Jun Yongye's voice was filled with pride.
So that was how it was!
Lan Jue suddenly understood.
Although he had fused with the Immortal Trapping Sword for a period of time and knew how powerful the Immortal Trapping Sword was, after truly experiencing the power of the Immortal Slaying Gate, he truly understood how powerful the four Immortal Slaying Swords were.
The Celestial Slaying Sword Formation really made people yearn for it!
"Retrieve the Celestial Slaying Sword!
Take Ultus back, no matter the cost.
If you can use the full Banishing Sword Formation, even if it's only a fraction of its power, it'll be enough to kill the aliens. "Jun Yongye's voice was filled with excitement.
"When I first activated the Immortal Culling Gate, I could feel the energy of Ultus even more clearly.
Though Ultus had been taken by the aliens, it was still a sentient weapon that couldn't be controlled by the aliens.
If you can find it, if you can awaken its sentience, you may be able to take it with you.
When the time comes, even without the diagram, the four swords will be your trump card against the aliens. "
Lan Jue smiled wryly. "But it's easier said than done!
If we want Ultus, we'll have to go deep into the tiger's den.
That alien planet is probably the Monarch the Violet Princess spoke of.
It's stronger than father, and you've seen what happened to Arachnid. We didn't have a chance to venture deep into the planet.
Even if we did, how would we get Ultus? "
Jun Yongye smirked. "Didn't the Violet Princess say she wanted to mate with you …?"
"You … I sell my skills, not my body!" Lan Jue snapped.
Now that his doubts had been resolved, his heart began to calm.
The aura emitted by the Banishing Immortal Sword was extremely pure. Although it was an unparalleled killing intent, it was filled with a sense of righteousness.
It was like a sword of judgment, judging the injustices of the world, purging all evil.
Lan Jue's principles were justice, righteousness, and kindness.
His understanding of Occisus was the most profound. He quickly slipped into a deep meditative trance.
Zhou Qianlin was one with him. Whatever he understood, Zhou Qianlin understood as well.
From the Clockmaker's point of view, Lan Jue's aura was constantly changing. Sometimes blue, sometimes red, the two colors intertwined.
Behind her, the light of the two swords flickered.
Three of Ultus' Four Swords.
Three swords intertwined, and a Paragon was born.
Lan Jue's face flickered, and with each change the air around him seemed to distort.
Lin Guo-guo was the first to emerge from meditation.
Lin Guo-guo's Discipline was of the spirit, a rarity even in the world of Adepts. The Pharmacist's Protogenia of Righteous Slaughter had helped temper her psyche, but she had no chance of understanding it.
In fact, Lin Guoguo would need a psychic Paragon to break through to the next level if she wanted to understand.
In fact, it was too difficult.
Su Xiaosu was the second to awaken. Her protogenia of righteous slaughter was of limited use to her. Her heart was a complicated mess. She'd been a pirate, and the Pontiff's Citadel had persecuted her from a young age.
That darkness had been slowly dispelled after she'd met Lan Jue, but it wasn't something that could be undone in a day or two.
Her cultivation was high, but she couldn't truly understand it.
Of the four of them, Lan Jue and the Driver had the most profound insights.
The Driver wasn't far from breaking through, and the Purple Myrtle Lightning was also a lightning of righteous slaughter. It was similar to Occisus in some ways.
Lan Jue also had the sword, and the connection between them was profound.
The third to wake up was the Wine Master, who was still recovering from his meditation.
"How are you?
Are you feeling better? "The Clockmaker transmitted to him.
The Wine Master glanced at the Pharmacist, who was in the midst of her breakthrough. He nodded. "I'm fine.
Every time we teleport, it takes a lot of power gems. It hurts!
But I think I'm about to break through. "
The Clockmaker was pleasantly surprised. "You feel it?"
The Wine Master smiled wryly. "Look at Skyfire Avenue. Paragons are popping up like mushrooms after a spring rain. As chairman, if I don't work hard I won't have the face to oversee Skyfire Avenue!
With my aunt's guidance and my years of experience, I'm almost there.
When I get back I'm going into seclusion. "
The Clockmaker looked disappointed. "Back in my day, becoming a Paragon was a great thing.
Look at how many Paragons Skyfire Avenue has grown in a year. "
The Wine Master sighed. "I'd rather there weren't so many Paragons.
The rise of so many geniuses means we're in for a calamity.
The aliens are stronger than we thought, and more difficult to deal with.
Once they enter the human world, I don't know what kind of carnage they'll unleash. "
"There's no point in worrying," the Clockmaker said. "All we can do is do what we can to fight them.
Drive them out of our homes.
I believe, after all the years of human history, we can do it. "
"I hope so," the Wine Master said.
"The Clairvoyant's prophecy is coming true. What I want most is for the Jewelry Master to come true.
Speaking of which, fate was really a wonderful thing.
When the Jewelry Master awoke from his grief, he began to influence the development of Skyfire Avenue in every way possible. Just as the Clairvoyant said, he was a bridge. Because of him, Skyfire Avenue was able to play an increasingly important role in this crisis. "
"That's why we must protect him," the Clockmaker said.
"At first I didn't want to go on this scouting mission for the Northern Alliance.
I know the Northern Alliance too well. They're excellent warriors, and they have strong leaders. Their soldiers are strong in spirit.
However, they will do things that go against their conscience for the sake of the Northern Alliance.
I dare say that if the Northern Alliance and the alien home worlds had been reversed, they would have found out we were on Zeus -1. They would have turned their weapons on us. "
The Wine Master nodded. "That's why we set up that portal in Tyrannosaurus.
We didn't expect it to be used to save us, but to save Admiral Kang Hui. "
The Clockmaker looked him in the eye. "In this world, the only people we can trust are our own.
Don't think that because we saved Admiral Kang Hui he'll be our friend.
When it comes to national interests, personal feelings can't affect the interests of the nation.
If Kang Hui is a general of the Northern Alliance, he must know this.
That's why we'll have to avoid the Northerners on our way back to Skyfire. "
The Wine Master was taken aback. His original plan was to follow them back to Tyrannosaurus and report their findings to Kang Hui. Then they'd return to Skyfire.
But according to the Clockmaker, that wasn't the right course of action. It could also be dangerous.
