The Pharmacist chanted. "Banishing Immortals sharp, Slaughtering Immortals dead, Entrapping Immortals red."
The white light startled the sky and turned into a terrifying killing intent that soared into the sky. White sword lights crisscrossed, but they always condensed around the killing intent. As his cultivation increased, the Slaughter Immortal Sword also displayed its dazzling brilliance.
Lan Qing added his final words. "Immortal Demise's transformations are infinite, the blood of the gods and immortals drench their garments."
Ultus was the last to shine. Emerald light swirled around it, and a sharp aura pierced the heavens. The Banishing Blades hummed to life. Although no real swords had appeared, Lan Jue and the others radiated a concentrated aura of swordsmanship.
When they entered the mid-stage of seclusion, especially Lan Qing and the Pharmacist, they knew it would be difficult to complete the Banishing Strategy on their own.
The more they learned about the Strategy, the more they realized it required a terrifying amount of energy.
You had to be an immortal at the very least to use it.
The First Killing Formation of the Dao of Heaven was well deserved, but it wasn't that easy to use.
And so, after much discussion, with the help of Jun Yongye, Xuanyuan Shishi, and Li Ke, they came to a bold decision. They would fuse their bodies with the sword, making it a part of their bodies for the time being.
The advantage of doing this was that their bodies and divine swords were more closely connected. In a sense, they were the divine swords, and the divine swords were them.
They could use all of their energy to power the Banishing Blades, including their protogenia, energy, and life force.
In this case, he would be able to use all of his abilities to try to set up the sword formation.
But at the same time, it was also extremely dangerous.
Because …
After studying the Banishing Strategy, they realized something.
Once the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was set up, it was irreversible.
In other words, the Strategy would consume all of the energy of its user. If they succeeded, it would be easy.
However, if they couldn't even complete the most basic embryonic form of the sword formation, the four of them would be sucked dry first.
Before they had fully fused with the Banishing Blades, they might have been able to give up and save their lives. But now they were completely fused.
That meant that there was no possibility of giving up at all.
If the sword formation failed, they would definitely die.
However, in the end, the four of them still made up their minds to do so. As the saying goes, cut off all means of retreat, only then would they be able to bring out their greatest potential.
Moreover, they still had some tricks up their sleeves, so they finally had a chance to try setting up a formation.
As for whether he could succeed or not, it was up to the heavens.
Four powerful sword intents gradually merged in the air.
Strange rays of light began to radiate out from the bodies of the four cultivators. These rays of light gave off a feeling that it was impossible to discern what colour they were.
They quickly interweaved in the air and took shape, forming strange runes that spread out in the air.
The four of them each took a different direction. Runes rose up one after another, and strange distortions appeared around their bodies.
Originally, the four of them were only very close to each other. However, with the appearance of these runes, from the outside, it seemed as if there was a complete world within them, and this world was constantly expanding.
Neptune.
"Get out of the way!"
Huali stared intently at Mo Xiao. Her voice was low and harsh.
Mo Xiao spread her arms wide, stubborn. "I won't.
I won't let you go.
There are already so many Paragons protecting them, you won't make much of a difference. You're just a Realm of Protogenia, why do you have to go?
What are you going to do?
Why can't you just stay on Neptune and take command? "
Huali's voice thundered. "Of course not!
My brothers are out there fighting for the sake of humanity. What can I do here?
I want to be by their side, to protect them.
I may not be strong, but it's always good to have more power. "
Mo Xiao's eyes were filled with sorrow. "She'll always be the most important person in your heart, right?
What do you mean by brothers? You're only doing this for him. "
Huali paused, then a cold light flashed in her eyes. "Get out of the way!"
"I won't!
I won't let you go unless you kill me.
The alien home worlds are about to finish their evolution, we need to get as far away as possible.
You must know that Neptune holds all of the Hanhai Group's hopes.
If we wait until they're done, we won't even have a chance to escape.
If you go now, how are we supposed to escape? "
Huali fumed. "Do you know the situation we're in and you're still thinking of running away?
If you want to go, then go. I'm not leaving, no matter what. I want to live and die with my comrades. We'll fight to the bitter end.
Do you think the Hanhai Group is going to flee when humanity's at stake? "
As he spoke, he strode forward, shoving Mo Xiao out of the way.
Mo Xiao was no match for Hua Li's Discipline. She staggered back a few steps, but once more she threw herself at Hua Li and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Don't go, I beg you, don't go!"
Tears streamed down Mo Xiao's cheeks. She looked nothing like the president of the Poseidon Group. Her face was filled with grief and helplessness. She was nothing more than an ordinary woman.
"Get out of the way."
Huali sighed. The anger on his face faded. "I know we should leave for the sake of the Group, for the sake of our family. But I can't.
If you want to leave, wait until I'm gone, then take everyone with you.
As long as the Hanhai Group has you, and … and our child, we have a chance to rise again.
But do you understand that I can't leave? Whether it's for my comrades, or for the Hanhai Group, I can't leave.
If the Banishing Strategy succeeds and we flee, then everything we've done will have been for nothing. We'll become the greatest sinners of humanity, and we'll never be able to live again.
No matter how you look at it, I can't leave. "
Tears streamed down Mo Xiao's cheeks. "I don't care, I don't care. I just want you to be safe. You don't have to love me, you don't have to be my husband, but I don't want anything bad to happen to you.
As long as I can see you every day, I will be satisfied. "
Huali's face contorted in pain. "Alright, let me go.
I have to go.
Just like your feelings for me, in my heart, I also have the same feelings for the person I love.
Did you really think I didn't know what happened? "
Mo Xiao's body trembled. Her arms around Huali relaxed.
Hua Li shut his eyes in agony. "I was right. It was you.
But what could I do?
We can't be husband and wife, but how could I not know how good you are to me?
Furthermore, how could I not have any selfish motives in my heart?
But, do you think I feel good watching him suffer such great pain?
That's all in the past, but I can't get over it. Now I just want to be by his side, to fight by his side. Whether it's life or death, I want to be crazy for once.
I'm sorry, Mo Xiao.
In the next life, if we're fated … "
Mo Xiao screamed and tried to hold on to him, but Hua Li was gone in a flash of blue light. Mo Xiao screamed and tried to hold on to him, but Hua Li was gone.
Mo Xiao fell to the ground with a thud. She looked dazed for a moment.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Ali, Ali …"
It was also at this moment that urgent calls came in one after another. The people in charge of the various departments of the family kept asking if they should leave the battlefield as soon as possible.
Everyone here had seen what was happening on Europa. It was obvious the alien home worlds were about to complete their evolution, and it was an unstoppable process.
Just as Mo Xiao had said, for the sake of the Poseidon Group, the most important thing they had to do was retreat.
But Huali was gone, how could she give the order?!
Mo Xiao struggled to her feet, and made her way to the control panel. She gritted her teeth and issued a command.
A few minutes later, a beam of blue light shot out from Poseidon's cockpit and shot off into the distance.
It was a ship about the size of a battleship. Its entire body was a translucent blue, but it didn't look like it was made of metal. In fact, it looked like it was polished from blue crystal.
The ship sped away, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye.
On this spaceship, a very small baby was crying loudly ….
The rapidly rotating golden haze formed a golden halo in the sky. The haze was evenly distributed on the surface of the planet, gradually forming a golden light shield.
As the light barrier gradually became transparent, the situation of Europa was finally revealed to everyone once more.
To everyone's surprise, what they saw inside the dome wasn't anything sinister. Instead, it was a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
Through the golden light shield, one could vaguely see the magnificent mountains and rivers on Europa, as well as all kinds of vegetation covering a large area.
It was even more vibrant than it had been before.
However, all of the original modern cities had completely disappeared.
It looked like a fairyland on earth. Clouds and mist shrouded the interior of the dome, and the beautiful scenery was breathtaking.
The planet slowly rotated on its own. Every rotation would bring about a golden ripple. The light barrier also began to become more and more transparent. It did not expand too much outwards. It only floated less than 10,000 meters above the planet's original atmosphere, enveloping the entire planet perfectly.
