And the most important thing was that at this moment, after attacking for so long, they had reached a critical moment of life and death. Not to mention killing this Arhat Heavenly Dipper, the people he brought back might not even be able to leave this place alive. Therefore, Tianye had already made up his mind to retreat from the current situation.
There was no other way. If they really had to sacrifice their lives, who knew how many casualties they would have to pay to keep this person here. This was completely inconsistent with their previous plan. In addition, there were also people from other Sects who had returned with them. Who knew if this group of people would have any other ideas. After all, everyone knew that only Tian Hua, who was left behind in their Sect, could bring this Arhat Heavenly Dipper here. If this news were to be known by others, it was very likely that they would turn around and leave.
"Junior Brothers, it seems that we can't escape unscathed. Everyone, bring out the courage to fight to the death. Arrange the Big Dipper Sword Formation. We will try our best to delay him. Send a message to the group of people from Moon God Palace and Holy Divine Temple. Let them quickly come and help. Only if our three Sects join forces can we possibly keep this person here. Otherwise, if he continues to act so recklessly, all of our plans will be a joke!"
As Tian Ye's voice fell, the crowd continued to echo. Then, without waiting for the Arhat Heavenly Dipper to respond, the sword formation was completed in an instant.
There was no other way. At this critical moment of life and death, in order to delay for as long as possible, no one dared to hold back. It was really because the Arhat Heavenly Dipper's combat power was too terrifying. If they couldn't rely on the sword formation to delay him and wait for reinforcements to arrive, everyone would die.
This could be seen from the fate of the three Junior Brothers who were killed in a face-to-face confrontation. In particular, the most important point was that everyone knew that if they couldn't restrict this Arhat Heavenly Dipper's space of movement, then all of their plans would just be empty talk.
As soon as the Big Dipper Sword Formation formed by seven people was formed, it successfully restricted this person's movements. And what made Tian Ye and the others feel relieved was that although this Big Dipper Arhat's fighting strength was still terrifying, and his attack power was even more astonishing, but in front of the Big Dipper Sword Formation, his bravery and ferocity allowed them to deal with it with more ease.
As time passed, they gradually gained the upper hand. Although they couldn't kill this person, it wasn't a problem for them to delay him. As time passed, everyone became more and more proficient. This was something that no one had expected before.
More importantly, they, including Tian Ye, only came to a sudden realization at this moment. Even though the Heavenly Dipper Old Ancestor's combat strength was astonishing, he only had room to display his strength in a one against many situation. If they formed a formation, they really didn't know what the outcome of the battle would be.
At the same time, Luo Xiu, who was in the spatial turbulence, sadly discovered that he had lost his way. Luo Xiu knew very well what this meant. Losing one's way in the void was simply an act of courting death. The various spatial storms in this void crack were simply too tiring for him to deal with.
Even though his whole body was enveloped by the Delimitation Compass, and the system in his mind had completely taken over the Heavenly Demon Avatar, it was inevitable that moving in this disorderly spatial turbulence would cause great harm to his Heavenly Demon Avatar. One could tell from the miserable appearance of the Heavenly Demon Avatar at this moment.
At this moment, Luo Xiu could only watch helplessly as a bystander. He watched as the system in his mind controlled his Heavenly Demon Avatar to dodge the void storms that came out of nowhere.
At this moment, Luo Xiu was very regretful. He hated himself very much now. He had been a little too careless and overconfident previously. As a result, he was now in a dangerous situation. He had simply dug his own grave.
For him, the price he had to pay for this adventure was far greater than he had imagined. Although Luo Xiu had been prepared for this, he was still a little dumbfounded when it really came down to it. How was this running away? It was simply courting death.
Feeling the emptiness in the Heavenly Demon Avatar, Luo Xiu shook his head helplessly. He controlled his body to frantically absorb the top-grade crystal in his hand. With the assistance of the crystal, he was barely able to provide the system with the energy to control the Heavenly Demon Battle. However, compared to the terrifying consumption, his replenishment was like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. He was barely able to maintain the balance between himself and the system.
However, what made Luo Xiu extremely depressed was that in this void, he had to maintain the power of the Delimitation Compass at all times, as well as maintain the sufficient energy in his body in order to deal with the dangers that could arise at any time and place.
This was because in the void, there were disorderly spatial turbulences passing by at any time and place. Every time he encountered such a situation, he would be exhausted to deal with it. Even if the system in his mind could help him, in this case, the effect was minimal.
At this moment, Luo Xiu's Heavenly Demon Avatar was covered with wriggling wounds. Due to the special nature of spatial energy, the recovery ability of the Heavenly Demon Avatar was affected. Now, it was a race against time. At this moment, Luo Xiu could clearly feel that the pressure from the void was constantly increasing.
Luo Xiu hurriedly changed direction and set off again. Fortunately, he had the system's energy intensity monitor, which could identify most of the spatial vortices for him at all times. This gave him a chance to catch his breath. Otherwise, relying only on his consciousness to sense the spatial vortices would be an absolutely suicidal act.
Moreover, in this void, his consciousness did not dare to leave his body at all, because if it left his body, it would be instantly destroyed by the terrifying spatial vortices. The omnipresent spatial force was the strongest and fatal nemesis of all souls.
Even some spatial turbulences appeared in his Heavenly Demon Avatar. Such a terrifying scene left Luo Xiu deeply speechless.
What made him feel even more depressed was that this situation became more and more common as he went deeper into the void. From time to time, spatial wind blades would directly penetrate the energy shield of the Delimitation Compass and attack his Heavenly Demon Avatar. These were even more common.
Many times, when he was flying forward, a piece of muscle on his Heavenly Demon Avatar's arm or thigh would suddenly disappear completely. Such a strange attack was impossible for him to guard against. Even though the Delimitation Compass had been activated to its maximum power, it could not prevent his body from being cut into pieces by the spatial turbulences at all times.
The void was full of danger. All of this made Luo Xiu not dare to be the slightest bit careless at this moment. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he might lose his life here. Although he had thought of many ways, without exception, they all required the support of a huge amount of power.
However, the sad thing was that the Heavenly Demon Avatar's cultivation base could not be restored in time because of his hasty escape. Even if he had time now, he did not have the conditions to speed up the recovery of his internal injuries, let alone restore his cultivation base. At this moment, Luo Xiu really felt like he was at the end of his rope.
Sensing that the Heavenly Demon Avatar was getting weaker and weaker, Luo Xiu knew that he could not hesitate any longer. If this continued, what awaited him was absolutely certain death. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and took out the copper cauldron filled with the power of faith from his storage space. Then, without saying anything, he directly poured the power of faith into the Heavenly Demon Avatar's body.
He had no choice. If he did not replenish the Heavenly Demon Avatar's energy consumption, what awaited him was absolutely a dead end. Even if this would replenish the power of the Soul Brand hidden in his Heavenly Demon Avatar, and it was very likely that it would develop with the help of the power of faith, compared to his own life, he could only take the risk to save his own life. As for other things, he could not care about them for the time being.
As soon as the power of faith was swallowed into Luo Xiu's stomach, a huge torrent of energy rushed straight to his mind. At this moment, his Primordial Spirit Avatar directly absorbed this terrifying power. Even the system in his mind underwent some changes due to the power of faith that Luo Xiu could not see clearly.
However, judging from the benefits that his Primordial Spirit Avatar received, Luo Xiu could not help but look a little pale. This was because he had already felt the Soul Brand hidden in his Heavenly Demon Avatar. However, at this moment, the Soul Brand, which was originally extremely dim, had become even stronger because of the power of faith. Luo Xiu knew that this was a method to quench one's thirst with poison.
However, in this void, if he did not solve the problem of his body being completely empty, other methods would not be reliable. He could only drink poison to quench his thirst and recover his strength first. Then, when he was safe, he would think of a way to remove the Soul Brand. After all, once he entered the Nanzhan Department Continent, he would have enough time to do these things.
Time passed slowly. Every time his Heavenly Demon Avatar's strength was exhausted, Luo Xiu would pour in a mouthful of the power of faith. Then, he would persist for a period of time before repeating the previous actions. Time passed slowly and quickly. Luo Xiu already did not know how long he had been traversing this endless void.
At this moment, he already felt numb. No matter how strong his willpower was, Luo Xiu still felt exhausted from this meaningless repetition. Even his spirit felt exhausted. If not for the power of faith supporting his body like hormones, Luo Xiu would have been exhausted long ago.
Even so, his current situation was still extremely miserable. Not to mention other things, just the excessive use of the power of faith had caused 80% of his Heavenly Demon Avatar to transform into another life form. If this continued, Luo Xiu did not dare to imagine whether his Heavenly Demon Avatar would still be under his control.
More importantly, the Soul Brand that was originally almost invisible in his body had strengthened countless times due to the constant nourishment of the power of faith during this period of time. At this moment, there were two terrifying Soul fluctuations in Luo Xiu's body. One was his Primordial Spirit Avatar and the other was the Soul fluctuation produced by the Soul Brand.
If it was in the real world, at this moment, Luo Xiu would be like a beacon. Even if he was a million miles away, the Heavenly Dipper Arhat would be able to instantly sense his specific location and directly control his Heavenly Demon Avatar through this Soul Brand.
Fortunately, they were in the Void of the universe at this moment. Luo Xiu, who was traveling through the Space Storm, could not help but feel somewhat fortunate. After he safely arrived at the Nanzhan Section Continent, he would have plenty of time to solve the problem of the Soul Brand in his Heavenly Demon Avatar. After all, he had no other way to solve the problem of the low energy consumption in his body.
Most importantly, in order to ensure that the power of the Delimitation Compass continued to be output, he had to overdraft the power of the Primordial Spirit in his body. Although the power of faith could replenish the consumption, it was also eroding the origin of his soul.
What made Luo Xiu feel incomparably fortunate was that his original soul was able to avoid the erosion of the power of faith due to the existence of the Primordial Purple Vapor. This allowed him to maintain his original heart. Otherwise, he would have become a Buddhist Cultivator long ago.
What made him feel even more depressed was that even with the support of the power of faith, he did not know how long these torturous days would last before he arrived at the Nanzhan Section Continent.
More importantly, the System in his mind hadn't given him a clear answer. This proved that the System wasn't completely confident in being able to teleport him into the Southern Viewing Department Continent. In between, it needed to correct the coordinates many times. The most important thing was that in the recent period of time, the System had actually been very silent. It was so silent that Luo Xiu felt that something wasn't right, so much so that he had a bad feeling.
"System, if my memory is not wrong, this is already the 3,684 day since we traveled through the Void. If we still can't find a way out, we will really be in trouble!
Are you hiding something from me?
Or are you saying that you are unable to lock onto the signal source of the spatial coordinates you left behind in the Nanzhan Section Continent? Is there no way for us to get there?
Could it be that we can only wander aimlessly in the Void? "
Unable to wait for a definite answer from the System, Luo Xiu became anxious. After drinking the power of faith for the 936th time, he finally could not suppress the anxiety in his heart and opened his mouth to ask.
There was no other way. Even though he had obtained quite a bit of power of faith, he could not withstand such consumption. For more than 3,000 days, he had been relying on the power of faith to support himself. Luo Xiu drank until he felt like vomiting blood. After drinking the power of faith countless times, he had already gotten used to it. The situation where his body's Qi was unstable at the beginning did not appear on his body anymore.
At this very moment, the power of faith was like a tamed bird. It circulated in his body and then directly transformed into the power of laws. At the same time, it was poured into the Delimitation Compass. Even if Luo Xiu did not deliberately control this process, it had already become a habit. At this very moment, Luo Xiu simply had the illusion that he had become a machine-like existence.
