The Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers prepare for battle, fortifying their formation and receiving an energy boost from the Holy Spirit. Meanwhile, human cultivators, including Li Yuanba, form their own Earth Evil Formation, advancing towards the altar. The humans launch the first attack with fire magic, showcasing various Fifth Grade Immortal Flames, but the Divine Soldiers counter with Holy Spirit energy transformed into water dragons. The clash has begun, with both sides probing each other's strengths.

"Sword cultivators, strike the three marked points!" Great Power Peng Run’s voice was heard.

Li Yuanba received the positions of the three points through the formation sent by Great Power Peng Run; the three points were in the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ battle array.

Upon seeing these positions, Li Yuanba knew that Great Power Peng Run must have extensively studied the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ battle formation.

The three points pointed out by Great Power Peng Run were exactly the weak points of the battle formation at this moment.

There were just three Sword Cultivation Great Powers, and Li Yuanba assigned one point to himself.

He did not do anything daring, as in such a large-scale battle, showing off rashly would not only affect the collaboration on his side but also make him a key target for the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ on the opposite side.

For now, he did not want to be noticed by the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’; he wanted to observe their true combat power before deciding on his course of action.

The ’Purple Cloud Sword’ shot out, and with the standard of a Middle Stage Great Power, he injected the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ into the ’Purple Cloud Sword’.

The ’Purple Cloud Sword’ passed through flames and mist, accurately striking one point of the battle formation.

The ’Chaos Sword Intent’ followed through into the battle formation’s energy shield, disrupting the balance of the energy shield.

The late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ noticed the trembling caused by the ’Chaos Sword Intent’ in the energy shield and suddenly intervened, delivering a surge of ’Holy Spirit’ energy into the battle formation, expelling the ’Chaos Sword Intent’.

Meanwhile, Li Yuanba felt a sharp gaze fixating on him; he saw the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ watching him.

The gaze of the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ carried no emotion, only a cold, lethal intent.

Li Yuanba felt helpless; he wanted to avoid being targeted by the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, but unexpectedly, his straightforward strike had caused the enemy to focus on him.

He did not realize how potent his ’Chaos Sword Intent’ was in disrupting the battle formation.

The ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ were far less powerful overall compared to human Great Powers. If not for the over two hundred half-step fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, they would hardly have been able to withstand the more than thirty human Great Powers.

It’s notable that the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ directly participating in the battle on the Divine Domain’s side numbered only ten; the differences at the fifth grade level were vast, relying entirely on the strategic collaboration of the half-step fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

Yet, Li Yuanba’s strike almost destroyed the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ battle formation shield.

"Li Yuanba’s sword intent is sharp, attack boldly and confidently!" Seeing the effect of Li Yuanba’s attack, Great Power Peng Run loudly praised him.

He was right in front of Li Yuanba and had certainly sensed the gaze of the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’.

He was confident in his ability to defend against all attacks from the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, which is why he encouraged Li Yuanba to attack boldly and confidently.

Li Yuanba was psychologically strong by nature, and with Great Power Peng Run openly declaring his support, he wielded his ’Purple Cloud Sword’ once more.

"Thunder skills to cover the attack, the rest attack in shifts, don’t give space for the enemy’s counterattack!" Great Power Peng Run issued orders once more.

There were two Thunder Cultivators present, using Thunder Skills unknown to Li Yuanba, not ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’.

However, the power of these thunder skills was no less than that of the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’, with one even surpassing it in power.

Li Yuanba understood that the Thunder Cultivation Technique Li Shiming was familiar with, the strongest one, was the ’Yuqing Thunder Scripture’, associated with the cultivation world’s foundation in Central State.

In order to access more top-tier Thunder Cultivation Techniques, solutions must be sought in the Land of Fallen Immortals.

He thought of the Immortal Alliance, confirming the necessity to complete tasks to exchange contribution points for top-tier Thunder Cultivation Techniques.

After reaching the Great Power Realm, changing cultivation techniques was unfeasible, but using other techniques as reference to perfect one’s own was possible.

Especially with the presence of IBMz15; as long as there were enough techniques as references, he could continually improve his own techniques.

The attacks from the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ battle formation also landed among the human cultivators.

The formation shield of human cultivators was continuously bombarded by energies transformed from ’Holy Spirit’ energy.

However, both sides knew each other well, and breaking through the other’s formation this way was incredibly difficult.

Moreover, at this moment, the impact of individual combat power was limited, unless Great Power Peng Run in his late stage fully unleashed his power.

Li Yuanba could also go all out, but his attack power didn’t match his defensive power.

If he attacked with all his strength, he would become the main target of the opponent’s attacks, which he would struggle to withstand.

As for relying on the protection of Great Power Peng Run, he never intended to place his safety in someone else’s hands.

Li Shiming was not only observing the battle through Li Yuanba and the fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’s perspectives but also watching through the treasure ’Mirror Flower Water Moon’.

Fortunately, there was no ground in the Land of Fallen Immortals; it was a complete void, making it impossible for the attacks of the Great Power level to damage the environment.

On the fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ side, the altar sensed every movement of the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ thanks to him.

He gathered more data about the ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ battle formation, recorded by IBMz15 for research purposes.

He realized that due to the threat posed by Li Yuanba’s ’Chaos Sword Intent’, the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ focused most of their attention on the battle formation, paying almost no attention to him.

He and another fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldier’ only needed to keep infusing ’Holy Spirit’ energy and prevent enemy assaults on the altar.

These two tasks required little time, as the infusion of ’Holy Spirit’ energy required rest, and defending against enemy assaults on the altar was impossible in the current situation.

He began researching the altar; the ’Holy Spirit’ energy within it gave him a sense of warmth.

This indicated that the ’Holy Spirit’ energy within the altar was actually absorbable by him.

This fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ body required ’Holy Spirit’ energy to enhance its power.

He tried extracting a bit of ’Holy Spirit’ energy from the altar; this bit was different from the ’Holy Spirit’ energy he had previously infused.

This bit of ’Holy Spirit’ energy was free of personal imprint, like ownerless energy.

Upon entering his body, it automatically transformed into his own ’Holy Spirit’ energy.

This discovery almost made him want to immediately extract more ’Holy Spirit’ energy, but he suppressed his greed, as the pressure from the nearby late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ was immense.

Another discovery was that the altar, perhaps due to the long-term infusion of ’Holy Spirit’ energy, was partially manageable by him.

However, the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ had higher authority, and any anomalies from the fifth-grade ’Holy Spirit’ would certainly be detected first by them.

As he observed, he sensed that the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ suddenly extracted a large amount of ’Holy Spirit’ energy.

This discovery startled him, aware that the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ would act.

On the battlefield, Li Yuanba swiftly moved to the side, his mastery of the formation shared by Li Shiming.

Though he moved impulsively, it did not cause any abnormal impact on the formation.

His movement followed the energy paths of the formation.

Just as he moved from his original position, a sudden earth-element spurt appeared where he once stood.

If he hadn’t dodged in advance, this earth-element spurt would have struck him.

This attack unleashed by the late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’ had the power to shatter his physical form.

The late stage fifth-grade ’Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’, leveraging their mastery of space rules, combined with the spatial confinement from the altar, could only be slightly resisted by him, using large amounts of ’Holy Spirit’ energy to unleash a deadly attack.
