Monarch and the Violet Prince perished in the face of the Banishing Strategy.
The red light in Lan Jue's eyes gradually receded. Because he had been the one to control the Banishing Strategy from the very beginning, he had become its controller.
Monarch and the Violet Prince were dead.
They were the last of the Raiders, the source of all Raiders.
With Monarch gone, the threat of the aliens was gone.
Lan Jue's face betrayed no trace of excitement. Monarch was dead, but they still had a series of problems to solve.
First and foremost, the biggest problem was how to retract the Immortal-slaying Sword Formation …
With Lan Jue and the others' strength, it was impossible to construct the Banishing Strategy. Therefore, they didn't even think about retracting the Banishing Strategy.
Later, with the arrival of the power of faith, the sword formation began to be successfully built and appeared in space very stably.
The terrifying power emitted by the sword formation had completely surpassed the state they had wanted to build it in the past.
The power of faith from the humans continued to pour in endlessly. The four Immortal Eradication Swords absorbed the purest energy without holding back, making the Immortal Eradication Sword Array even more perfect.
There was a flash of light, and Lan Jue and the others emerged from the four corners of the Strategy. However, their swords were no longer in their hands.
Lan Qing looked at him with a strange expression. "What do we do?"
Lan Jue smiled wryly. "How should I know?
Wine Master, please tell Admiral Kang Hui that Monarch is dead, and that we've killed all the aliens.
That should reduce the amount of faith we'll need.
Otherwise, if this goes on, I'm afraid we'll be able to set up the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation at its peak. "
The Wine Master looked at her suspiciously. "What's so bad about the Banishing Strategy?"
Lan Jue went on. "First of all, if the Banishing Strategy is complete, then unless you're strong enough to take it back, it'll remain in this region forever. It'll become a forbidden zone for all time."
The Wine Master asked. "How much power would it take to retract it?"
Lan Jue said, "According to our estimation, we have to at least reach the level of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. If one of us reaches that level, then we can take it back." When he said this, there was a hint of uncertainty in his tone.
Lan Qing smiled bitterly and said, "And it has to be you. You are the one in charge of the sword array."
The Wine Master sucked in a breath. "So you're saying that anyone who enters this formation will be reduced to ash in a matter of minutes?" Even Monarch had been killed without a sound, let alone anyone else.
Lan Jue: "That's not true. If the four of us were to carry it, it wouldn't be a problem in the sword array.
After all, in a sense, we are already a part of the Four Immortal Slaying Swords.
However, if we weren't here, I'm afraid that the situation you mentioned would occur.
Therefore, I don't recommend everyone to try it. "
The Wine Master's brows furrowed. "If it's only a small part of the sky that's sealed, then it shouldn't be a problem.
It's impossible for any of you to reach the level of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal!
If that's the case, then we'll have to lock down this part of the sky.
Are there any other drawbacks to its existence? "
Lan Jue: "Right now the Sword Array is under our control, but if we were to leave and let go of control, it would expand. As for how much, I'm guessing it would cover the entirety of Europa.
That said, it's not impossible for us to become Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. "
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of Europa, which wasn't too far away.
Monarch and the Violet Prince were dead, but Europa was the same as it had been. A faint golden light shimmered around it, and it was still an immortal realm. Immortal qi pulsed from its surface, and Lan Jue, Lan Qing, and the others could feel it.
Indeed, this was their second problem. What to do with this immortal realm created by the aliens?
"Let's not talk about that for now. There's something important we need to do." Li Ke's urgent voice rang out from beside them.
Lan Jue turned her head to look at him. "What is it, brother-in-law?"
After absorbing so much faith, Li Ke looked no different from a real human. The Pharmacist held his arm, a rare smile on her pretty face.
Li Ke, however, looked anxious. "Collect the soul fragments.
Collect the fragments of the Paragons' souls.
Paragons, in a sense, were like demigods in ancient times.
At this level, the soul became a part of the primordial spirit. Even in death, the primordial spirit wouldn't easily dissipate.
It's like the ancient Paragons. Even if they fell in battle against universal protogenia, the fragments of their souls still exist. Thousands of years later, they still affect us.
If we could collect the fragments of the Paragons' souls, we might be able to bring them back! "
Lan Jue's body shook as she listened to him. If that was the case, today's victory would be perfect.
"Brother-in-law, how do we collect the fragments?" Lan Jue asked hurriedly.
Li Ke explained. "You've all reached the Infinite, so you'll be able to sense it.
Only Paragons' souls will be able to sense it. "
"Alright!"
Lan Jue didn't dare hesitate. Lan Qing's handsome face was flushed with excitement.
According to Li Ke, if they could find these soul fragments, they might be able to revive Luo Xianni and the others!
Lan Jue closed his eyes and spread out his consciousness. He began to search the area carefully.
At this moment, his mind had calmed down slightly, and his perception of the outside world suddenly became a little different. Originally, in his mind, space should have been empty, but at this moment, there was something more to it.
In theory, most of space was a vacuum. There shouldn't be anything there.
However, once a person's consciousness reached a certain level, a trace of it would remain. Although it would vanish for a short period of time, undetectable by ordinary people or even high-tech devices, once a person's consciousness reached a certain level it could be clearly sensed.
Even now, Lan Jue and the others were shrouded in a nine-colored aura. It was the mark of the Banishing Strategy. The Banishing Strategy was known as the First Deadly Formation of the Heavenly Dao. Not even universal protogenia dared touch them.
Lan Jue's senses swept over them. The first thing he sensed was a powerful primordial spirit, but it wasn't human. It was the avatar they'd killed earlier.
The ripples of its primordial spirit felt a little strange. It was trying its best to gather in the center, as if it wanted to compress its own primordial spirit energy.
Lan Jue's heart skipped a beat. The first thing he thought of was that this avatar was made up of six avatars, all controlled by Monarch. A sliver of Monarch's will must have remained in the avatar.
Now that Monarch had been destroyed in the Banishing Strategy, the primordial spirit that remained outside was free to act as a separate entity.
Based on the way it was compressing itself, there was a chance it could reform or come back to life.
Lan Jue wasn't going to give it the chance to do so.
He raised his right hand, and a bolt of blue lightning instantly descended. When the blue lightning landed on the ball of Primordial Spirit, a faint purple light barrier enveloped the entire area. Specks of starlight flickered. It was the Boundless Star Domain.
As his cultivation increased, the power and control of the Boundless Starlight Domain increased exponentially.
Under the cover of the domain, Tiandu Divine Thunder suddenly erupted.
The Five Thunders Way was most effective against primordial spirits. Monarch's avatar didn't even have time to express its fear before it vanished into thin air.
Lan Jue had deployed the Boundless Starlight Domain to prevent the avatar from escaping. More importantly, it was to prevent the All-Heaven Lightning from harming the avatar's soul.
With Monarch's resurrection destroyed, Lan Jue breathed a sigh of relief. He turned his attention to an object floating in space.
A dark golden light flickered around it. Around it was a nascent spirit of equal strength. It was weaker than the avatar's, but its will was stronger. Bit by bit, it drilled into the dark golden object.
Lan Jue's body flickered. In a flash she was beside the dark golden object. She reached out and grabbed it.
"Qian Lin." Lan Jue called. Zhou Qianlin flew to his side.
In terms of damage, Lan Jue's Boundless Starlight Domain was powerful. But in terms of saving souls, what could be better than the Queen of Heaven's Domain, Zhou Qianlin?
This dark golden object was Jueti's weapon, the Ruyi Jingu Bang. The powerful spirit Lan Jue sensed must have come from Roxanne.
With her body gone, the soul was left with only instinct. And it was this instinct that urged her to enter the Ruyi Jingu Bang. She wanted to reunite with Jueti!
Zhou Qianlin reached out with her right hand. She had also reached the Infinite and could sense the fluctuations of the spirit.
She released her will, carefully protecting Roxanne's spirit. Then she sent it into the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
Once the spirit left the body, it would be suppressed by the laws of the universe. Then it would shatter into fragments, until it was nothing more than ash.
