The Violet Prince stared intently at the Sword Formation. Waves of weakness washed over him. It looked like she'd only torn off one of his arms, but in reality she'd used the power of the Infinite to open spatial doors within his body. She'd locked him down and destroyed him.
How else could Huali have blocked his attack with her own body?
Just as the humans were waiting for the Banishing Strategy to be completed, the Prince was also waiting for Monarch to break free and take control of the situation. Then he would kill them all.
This was going to be a brutal battle. Of the ten or so Paragons, only an odd number remained.
And that was assuming Lan Jue and the other three Paragons hadn't been sacrificed. If they died, then there would only be five Paragons left.
Limit, was he about to reach his limit?
Lan Jue could feel her body crumbling.
Her soul felt like it was about to shatter.
And he wasn't the only one. Lan Qing and the Pharmacist gritted their teeth and held on, but they too were on the verge of collapse.
Li Ke crept up behind the Pharmacist. He didn't do anything, in fact there was nothing he could do. He looked at his wife with gentle eyes, and the Pharmacist looked back at her.
In her heart was a stubborn will. She could read the look in her husband's eyes.
For Jun 'er, they had to hold on!
Yes, for their child, for their daughter, for the children of millions of parents, they had to hold on until the last possible moment. They had to keep Monarch inside the Sword Formation.
However, the devouring power of the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation was simply too terrifying. Every time the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation exerted a strong suction force, their energy would face the predicament of shattering at any moment.
No matter how tenacious a human's will was, they couldn't use it to increase their own power.
Once they exceeded their limits, they would collapse.
They had no hope of surviving. They only hoped to hold on for a little while longer. That way, when they became sacrifices, they would have a much better chance of completing the Sword Formation.
The mecha operators and fighter jets that were still alive, as well as every single soldier of the allied forces, were watching this scene unfold before them. In their hearts, they were all silently praying for them.
Zhou Qianlin was on the verge of a mental breakdown. Although her cultivation was second only to Lan Jue among the four of them, she cultivated the Queen of Heaven Transformation. She wasn't in the Battle Order, and she didn't have the inheritance of an ancient Almighty. Therefore, in terms of origin, she was the weakest.
Her soul hadn't been tempered a thousand times. Compared to Lan Qing, Lan Jue, and the Pharmacist, there was a significant gap.
Therefore, she was also the first to break down.
Ah Jue, I can't hold on any longer.
She silently thought to herself.
Lan Jue sensed it immediately. "Go, Qian Lin.
Wait for me over there. I'll be right there.
No matter where we are, we will never part. "
A faint smile appeared on Zhou Qianlin's face. That's right!
So long as he was here, death was not to be feared.
Rays of pale white light began to appear around Zhou Qianlin. They were cracks. The Queen of Heaven's dharma was the first to break down. Zhou Qianlin was now one with her dharma, and when it broke, her body would follow. She would leave this world forever.
Zhou Qianlin was prepared. She relaxed her mind, and Xuanyuan Shishi was silent. They were all focused on the Sword Formation. Whether or not it was completed, they would give it their all.
Just then, Qianlin felt a faint warmth spread through her limbs and into her body. At first it was weak, but then she felt it.
But, just as her body was about to crumble, the warmth grew stronger.
The increased warmth temporarily eased the collapse of her body, and even the pain of her soul tearing was slightly alleviated.
Instinctively, she opened her eyes and looked at Lan Jue in the distance.
Only then did she notice that countless white spots of light were coming towards her from all directions, fusing into her body.
Although the Immortal Eradication Sword Formation's devouring power was still very strong, and these spots of light were insignificant compared to the sword formation's energy requirements, there were enough of them, and they had an unusually devout faith. They withstood the Immortal Eradication Sword Formation's absorption, and slowly but surely began to heal the cracks on Zhou Qianlin's body.
This was, this was …
The power of faith.
It didn't take long for Qianlin to identify the source of the energy.
The appearance of the power of faith had pulled her back from the brink of collapse.
However, she was not excited. Instead, her beautiful eyes were filled with fear.
She could survive with the help of the power of faith, but what about Ah Jue?
He couldn't do it!
He wasn't like her. What would he do?
She quickly searched for Lan Jue. But to her surprise, Lan Jue was surrounded by spots of light. They were pale blue, and as they entered Lan Jue's body, they became one with him. She could sense that Lan Jue's condition had stabilized.
This …
Zhou Qianlin was stunned. What was going on?
Could it be …
Yes, the power of faith.
This was the power of faith that came from all of humanity!
When the audience saw the Bloodiron Khans standing in front of Lan Jue and the others, when they heard the Eastern Alliance commentator's impassioned invitation, they began to pray. For the four of them, for all of humanity.
This thick power of faith came from all of humanity.
Lan Jue, Lan Qing, Zhou Qianlin, the Pharmacist, the allied army, the Paragons, the mecha pilots, all of them.
They had never fought alone. They represented the future of humanity, the future of humanity. They were fighting to the death against the aliens!
The whole human race is their strong and powerful shield.
The first wave of faith came from Angel Planet, from the billions of people closest to them.
They prayed from the bottom of their hearts for the allied army, for Lan Jue, Lan Qing, Zhou Qianlin, and the Pharmacist.
They prayed that the Banishing Strategy would be completed.
This was the first time since the Banishing Blades had appeared that the entire human race had prayed for the First Killer of Heaven's Will to be completed.
Because of this, when the power of faith appeared, the First Killer Formation of the Heavenly Dao drew it over, not just into Qianlin's body, but into each and every one of them.
Divine armaments were sentient beings, and the Banishing Blades were the best of the best. The Prince of Heaven hoped to receive the power of faith in its purest form.
More than any other power, it could help the Banishing Strategy complete. It could even help it evolve to a higher level.
The four Sword Masters who controlled the Four Immortal Exterminating Swords were able to obtain the loyalty of the masses. Naturally, the Divine Sword was much more satisfied with them.
They automatically guided the power of faith to repair their bodies, and the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation also started to steadily and continuously improve, changing towards its final state.
When the Violet Prince saw Lan Jue and the others begin to glow with the power of faith, he knew something was wrong. The power of faith wasn't strong at first, but as time went on it grew stronger and stronger. The swords around Lan Jue and the others grew stronger, and the fires of their lives began to vanish.
What was even more frightening was that the auras of these four people were also increasing exponentially.
In just a short period of time, they were about to enter the Infinite level of magic power.
There was a faint layer of nine-colored light enveloping their bodies. The nine-colored light did not come from their bodies, but from the Celestial Slaying Sword Formation.
The primordial energy within the Strategy began to glow with the colors of nine different colors.
Inside, Monarch didn't make a sound. It didn't look like it was going to break free.
How could the Violet Prince not panic at this discovery?
If Monarch was dead, then he would be the only one left of the aliens. With so many powerful humans around, they wouldn't let him go.
The Violet Prince made his decision. His body flickered, and a plume of violet-gold light erupted from his chest. He was back to full power, and with a single punch he punched the Driver in front of him.
Although the Driver was protected by the Primordial Lightning, his bones crackled and blood sprayed from his nose and mouth. He was grievously injured.
The Violet Prince didn't hesitate. In a flash he was at Lan Jue's side, and his fist was aimed at her head.
No one had expected the Violet Prince to return to full strength.
Of the five Paragons surrounding him, the strongest was a Reflection of Heaven and Earth. No one could keep up with him in terms of speed.
By the time they reacted, the Violet Prince's fist was already upon Lan Jue's head.
It's over!
The Wine Master's vision went dark. All his efforts had been for naught!
But just as the Prince's fist was about to land on Lan Jue's head, there was a sudden burst of prismatic light. Lan Jue didn't even move. Instead his body became incorporeal.
The Violet Prince had used too much force, and in an instant he was thrown into the prismatic light. He burrowed into the Banishing Strategy in front of him.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
The Clockmaker was the first to come to her senses. "Everyone, pray for them. Pray that the Banishing Strategy will be completed.
Only when we are united will we have a chance to turn the tide. "
Everyone, please.
