Chapter 626 - 601: The Method to Break Through the Three Steps

Tang Feng evolved a River of Sword Magic that, although not on par with the true Magic River above The sky’s Vault, did not differ by too much. It spanned who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, directly separating heaven and earth and isolating the territory of the Dragon Alliance from the other territories of the Origin Continent. It isolated the twenty-five third-step Creator Realm powerhouses on the opposite bank of the Magic River.

"You think this will stop us? Naive, kill our way through."

Yuan Wanggu bellowed.

More than twenty third-step Creator Realm powerhouses charged toward the Magic River.

Clang!

The River of Sword Magic vibrated as if it stirred the entire world. An immeasurable amount of energy from heaven and earth converged toward the River of Sword Magic.

Not only that.

At this moment, a peculiar fluctuation emanated from the River of Sword Magic, instantly spreading throughout the entire Origin Continent.

Humming noises...

All over the Origin Continent, countless sword cries echoed.

Countless battle swords, at this moment, began to tremble as if responding to the River of Sword Magic.

Some ancient caves, secluded mountain peaks, battle swords buried deep underground – all ownerless swords broke out of their confines and tore through the void, then appeared over the River of Sword Magic and flew into its midst.

This enhanced the sword’s momentum within the River of Sword Magic, making it even more astonishing.

Not only that, but many of the owned battle swords also shook violently, trying to break free from their masters’ control.

"What’s happening? My battle sword is out of control."

"Damn it, hold still."

Many roared in anger.

In the end, only powerhouses above the Creator Realm could stabilize their own swords.

For those below the Creator Realm, their swords flew out one after another, heading for the River of Sword Magic.

For a time, the River of Sword Magic was filled with countless longswords.

The longswords, merging with the River of Sword Magic, unleashed a sky-reaching Sword Qi.

The twenty-some third-step Creator Realm powerhouses, as soon as they approached the River of Sword Magic, were attacked by countless Sword Qi. Even with their third-step capabilities, they found it difficult to get near the River of Sword Magic.

"Combine our strength and break through the River of Sword Magic. Even if Tang Feng is strong, he can’t possibly block the attacks of so many of us."

Yuan Wanggu bellowed. Suppressing his injuries, he took the lead, delivering the strongest blow.

Other third-step Creator Realm experts also made their move.

Twenty-five terrifying attacks converged, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth.

The River of Sword Magic shook, numerous battle swords within the Magic River converged to form a sword shield. At the same time, the River of Sword Magic seemed to resonate with other Magic Rivers, borrowing power to enhance itself and strengthen its defenses.

However, the combined attack of the twenty-five third-step Creator Realm powerhouses was too powerful. Their assault on the sword shield caused massive tremors, and the weaker swords continuously exploded into dust.

"We must also take action to support Tang Feng."

Ye Qing shouted, transforming into his heavenly dragon form, and plunged into the River of Sword Magic to deliver his strongest strike.

Ancestor of All Magics, Lu Ren, the metallic sphere, and others also took action simultaneously.

"Attack."

At this moment, Formation Ancestor, Lu Yan, Space-Time Spirit Mouse Paopao, Lu Shenhuang, Ten Thousand Gods, and other top members of the Dragon Alliance also arrived.

They too rushed into the River of Sword Magic, supporting Tang Feng with all their strength.

With the unified effort of the Dragon Alliance’s powerhouses, they finally blocked the attack of the twenty-five opposing powerhouses.

Unwilling to concede, the opposing side continued to attack but were ultimately still blocked.

After several unsuccessful attempts, the opposing forces spread out, some heading upstream and others downstream of the River of Sword Magic, seeking a breakthrough point.

But Tang Feng seemed omnipotent across the entire River of Sword Magic; anywhere along it, he could launch an attack, creating a formidable defense.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing, Ancestor of All Magics, Lu Ren, Formation Ancestor, and others spread out to snipe opposing experts in coordination with Tang Feng, keeping them outside the River of Sword Magic.

In this way, despite their superior numbers, the enemy was blocked by the River of Sword Magic and could not take a step across the boundary.

"The Dragon Alliance is treacherous and harbors sinister intentions. If you do not come to our aid swiftly, once we flatten the Dragon Alliance, our clan’s ancestors will emerge with grand rewards."

Yuan Wanggu roared, hoping to rally people from other forces to their side to jointly confront the Dragon Alliance.

"To adduce a crime where none exists is preposterous, claiming that the Dragon Alliance seeks to dominate the Origin is sheer nonsense. The Origin Dynasty’s move against the Dragon Alliance is simply to remove those who are different from themselves. My friends, remember, a burnt lip may cause the teeth to feel the chill. After eliminating our Dragon Alliance, the Origin Dynasty may turn their blades on other powers."

Ye Qing retorted.

This made many forces show hesitation.

"Nonsense! Our Origin Dynasty has never suppressed other powers; otherwise, how could we have allowed Nine Generations Heavenly Palace to rise?"

Yuan Wanggu coldly retorted, attempting to summon the Nine Generations Heavenly Palace to join the battle.

Nevertheless, the people of the Nine Generations Heavenly Palace eventually did not take action.

Although the Nine Generations Heavenly Palace did not take action, two other forces did and joined the side of the Origin Dynasty.

One was a True One Realm power native to the Origin Dynasty, and another from the boundless starry sky, like the Da Qi Dynasty; This power, too, bore a grudge against the Dragon Alliance.

As a result, the number of third-step Creator Realm members on the side of the Origin Dynasty increased to twenty-nine.

"Brother Tang, Brother Ye, we are here to assist you."

Five figures flew in, blocking some of the opposing experts for Tang Feng and Ye Qing.

"Many thanks."

Ye Qing was overjoyed.

Because these five people came from the forces of Yin Xiantian and the Desolate Heaven Cosmic Country.

The two sides had once again achieved balance.

After this, no other forces joined the fray.

Yuan Wanggu and the others had been attacking for most of the day, trying various methods, but the River of Sword Magic was as stable as Mount Tai. They couldn’t advance an inch and finally had to retreat to rest and discuss their strategy.

After resting for two days, they launched another attack, but ultimately, it was still a failure.

The two sides thus ended up in a standoff.

"Lu Yan, Paopao... Go back and rest, steady the morale. Leave this place to us," Ye Qing transmitted his voice to Lu Yan and the others, indicating that only those at the third step of Creator Realm were needed here, and those at the second step could return to rest and focus on Cultivation.

"Okay, I’ll leave it to you. I’ll go back to break through, and I will return soon to assist you," said the Time-space Spiritual Mouse Paopao. After speaking, it disappeared in a flash.

Then, Lu Yan and the rest of the beings at the second step of the Creator Realm took their leave.

Once back in Dragon Emperor City, Paopao, Wan Fa, and others began closing in, making an all-out effort to reach the third step of the Creator Realm.

Several days later, a terrifying presence spread across the skies above Dragon Emperor City.

"Someone has succeeded."

Lu Yan was surprised.

He sensed carefully and found that this presence came from the Time-space Spiritual Mouse Paopao; she had broken through the shackles leading to the third step of the Creator Realm and was undergoing a transformation.

"The Formation Ancestor made his breakthrough during the great battle, and this Elder Paopao also managed to break through within just a few days. Truly, the Dragon Alliance is a place where hidden dragons lie and geniuses abound," Lu Yan inwardly sighed.

"Why can’t the Saint Soldier’s Formula break through?"

Subsequently, Lu Yan considered his own cultivation issues.

These past few days, he had continuously used the Dao Book to refine the Immortal Corpse, hoping to enhance the Saint Soldier’s Formula to the eighteenth layer and possess a combat strength comparable to the third step of the Creator Realm.

The current situation was precarious, hanging by a thread. Although Tang Feng and the other strong beings at the third step of the Creator Realm cooperated to block the many powers led by the Origin Dynasty from crossing the River of Sword Magic,

Tang Feng was not a True One after all, and nobody knew how long he could hold out.

Once he could no longer withstand them, and the enemy forces came charging over, the entire Dragon Alliance would be in danger.

There wasn’t much time left for him; he had to improve quickly.

The second step of the Creator Realm was far from enough; he must attain at least the cultivation level of the third step to possess the strength to protect himself and his family.

But if he wished to attain the third step of the Creator Realm in a short time, advancing the Saint Soldier’s Formula was the quickest way.

In this battle, he had killed four Immortal Clan members at the second step of the Creator Realm and even the Snowfield Gray Wolf slain by Tang Feng was at the third step. With so many Immortal Clan powerhouses being refined by the Dao Book, there wasn’t the slightest sign of advancement in the Saint Soldier’s Formula.

"The body of the Snowfield Gray Wolf hasn’t been completely refined, but once it’s fully refined, let’s see if I can break through. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll have to think of another way," Lu Yan thought.

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed.

After the cultivation level of the Time-space Spiritual Mouse Paopao stabilized, she immediately left Dragon Emperor City and went to assist Tang Feng, Ye Qing, and others at the River of Sword Magic.

Aside from the Time-space Spiritual Mouse, there was no second person who had made a breakthrough during this time.

This was normal; the third step of Creator Realm was not easy to break through; otherwise, the various True One Realm Powers wouldn’t have so few members.

The Formation Ancestor and the Time-space Spiritual Mouse Paopao managed to break through one after another, probably because they had long reached the limit of breakthrough but had been suppressing it until now.

Even so, the addition of two beings at the third step of the Creator Realm in just a few days was miraculous.

During these days, the Dao Book had completely refined the body of the Snowfield Gray Wolf.

But there was no sign of the Saint Soldier’s Formula reaching its limit.

"To break through to the eighteenth layer and possess the strength of the third step of the Creator Realm is indeed not easy. One Immortal Corpse of the third step is far from enough; at least two are needed," Lu Yan felt helpless.

Where could he find another Immortal Corpse at the third step of the Creator Realm?

The entire Immortal Clan had only four at the third step.

The Saint Soldier’s Formula had to be put aside for now.

But if advancing the Saint Soldier’s Formula wasn’t an option, what other method was there to quickly rush to the third step of the Creator Realm?

Soul and Flesh Materialization?

His accumulation in the Tao Realm was already depleted, and now his Soul and Flesh Materialization was at sixty percent. To raise it to one hundred percent, he had to go step by step.

Even though he had fused twelve true patterns, making his rate of materialization far exceeds that of ordinary people, it would still need a long time and couldn’t be done overnight.

"If twelve true patterns aren’t enough, I’ll fuse even more. In theory, the more true patterns I merge with, the faster the materialization should happen. With my soul and body, I should be able to handle it," Lu Yan’s eyes showed a decisive glint as he ended his seclusion and went to the Heavenly Dragon Hall of the Dragon Alliance.

The Heavenly Dragon Hall was a place where treasures were kept. Disciples of the Dragon Alliance could exchange various treasures there.

For an entity as formidable as the Dragon Alliance, true patterns were naturally collected and stored.

With Lu Yan’s current cultivation level and status, getting some true patterns was an easily accomplished task, and no one would stop him.

He took away ten strands of true patterns from the Heavenly Dragon Hall in one go.
