The Galactic Imperial City was deathly silent.
Countless pairs of eyes were fixed on the void above, staring without blinking, their hearts leaping into their throats.
To face an immortal, what courage and dominance that took!
To witness this scene, they had no regrets, even in death!
A cracking sound echoed as spiderweb-like fissures appeared on the giant hand, which stretched over three thousand feet. These fissures then spread across the entire hand, which then exploded with a bang, turning into residual energy waves.
"What!"
"How is that possible!?"
The elders of the Burning Heaven Holy Land, standing behind their immortal powerhouse, were all dumbfounded as they watched the scene in the void.
Their ancestor's nearly full-powered strike had been broken!
Undeniably, at this moment, they realized they had completely underestimated the current Galactic Empire. However, their meticulously planned year-long scheme had far more trump cards than this.
No matter what, the Galactic Empire had to be destroyed today!
"This is somewhat interesting!"
The immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land's eyes flashed with sharp light, his fury instantly reaching its peak. "Burning Heaven Art - Sky Slaughter!!"
Rumble~~
As the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land spoke, in the next moment, a flaming giant hand, over three thousand feet tall, appeared in the void, its might even stronger than before.
It was like an apocalyptic attack, descending from the heavens. Before it even neared the ground, it was already pressing down on the powerful figures of the Imperial City, suffocating them and making it difficult to breathe.
"The Galactic Empire is indeed extraordinary!"
"However, those who offend my Burning Heaven Holy Land shall surely die!!"
The might of an immortal surged significantly once more. Even Ji Xuanyuan's face was filled with solemnity; clearly, this move put immense pressure on him.
"Immortal Slaying Sword Formation - Sever!!"
Ji Xuanyuan roared, and over a hundred ancestors simultaneously poured all their strength into the sword formation, which then transformed into a colossal sword, over two thousand feet long, in the void. "Kill!!"
Instantly, the two collided again. However, this time it was not as easy as before.
Immediately, Ji Xuanyuan coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Not just him, but all hundred Dao Ancestor powerhouses of the Ji clan also spat blood. Clearly, even with the amplification of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, they still couldn't bridge the gap with an immortal-level expert.
With a single strike from the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land, Ji Xuanyuan and his group were injured. Seeing this, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth. As expected, this formation, though powerful, still had its limits.
"What an unexpectedly heaven-defying formation."
"To force this immortal to this point, you all can be proud!"
The immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land glanced at Ji Xuanyuan and his followers, observing the weakened aura of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. "I want to see how many more blows you can withstand."
Flipping his right hand, the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land produced a high-grade immortal artifact, radiating an incredibly terrifying aura. "Let me show you my strength!"
"Burning Heaven Sword Codex - Move the Heavens!!"
With one move, the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land's might grew further. A colossal sword, over three thousand feet tall, carrying unparalleled energy, blasted towards the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. With the enhancement of immortal power, its might was even greater.
This celestial sword instantly descended above the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. Before Ji Xuanyuan and the others could gather their strength, it fiercely slashed down upon the formation.
"Defend!!"
In a moment of crisis, Ji Xuanyuan forcibly activated the defensive capabilities of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation to resist the attack of the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land.
BOOM!!!
The colossal sword, over three thousand feet long, struck instantly. The sound, like an apocalyptic lightning tribulation, exploded. Even with the protection of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the ground of the Galactic Imperial City groaned under the immense pressure, and spiderweb-like fissures spread far and wide.
Puff~
Puff puff puff~~
Ji Xuanyuan and the other ancestors spat blood again, their faces ashen. Clearly, their injuries were more severe than ever before, and even the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was on the verge of collapse.
"All Ancestors!!"
Ji Wutian and the numerous powerhouses of the Galactic Empire looked extremely solemn. Under a collapsing nest, no egg could remain intact. They did not believe that the Burning Heaven Holy Land would spare them after the formation was broken.
All of them were ancestors who had lived for tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years. They understood this point very well!
"Oh?"
Seeing that the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation had not yet been broken, the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land showed surprise in his eyes, followed by an even stronger killing intent. "What a formidable formation!"
"However, it ends here."
At this point, the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land intended to unleash the Burning Heaven Sword Codex again. However, when Ji Xuanyuan saw this, his eyes turned crimson, and veins bulged on his forehead.
"Burning Heaven Holy Land, you bully too much!"
"Even if my Ji clan dies, we will make you pay a price!"
Taking a deep breath, Ji Xuanyuan's eyes were filled with resolute determination. "All Ancestors, let us burn our lifespan together!!"
"Yes, Ancestor Xuanyuan!!"
As Ji Xuanyuan's voice fell, in the next moment, scarlet blood-red energy surged around him, instantly rushing towards the sky. However, closely following behind were Ji Changkong and numerous other ancestors, who did the same.
At this moment, over a hundred pillars of blood-red energy shot towards the sky, creating a scene of immense tragedy.
"No~"
"Burning lifespan, this is a forbidden technique of the Ji clan!"
As Ji Xuanyuan and the others began burning their lifespans, the previously dim Immortal Slaying Sword Formation instantly blazed with brilliant light. Not only that, but the entire formation bizarrely turned a blood-red color.
However, the aura emanating from it was even more terrifying than at the beginning!
"A forbidden technique!?"
The immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land's face turned slightly solemn as he looked at the scarlet Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. "Truly troublesome."
"As expected of an empire ranked among the top ten within the Hao Tian Immortal Kingdom. Such a trump card is truly surprising."
"It seems I must end this battle in the shortest possible time to avoid further complications."
With this thought, the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land flipped his right hand, and an immortal artifact appeared in his hand. As this artifact appeared, the surrounding energy began to boil.
A top-grade immortal artifact!
Indeed, the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land held the Spirit Gathering Banner, a top-grade immortal artifact!
"I never expected that my trip to the Galactic Empire would force me to use a top-grade immortal artifact. But it ends here!"
With a cold snort, the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land activated the Spirit Gathering Banner. Terrifying immortal power permeated the void, and instantly the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land's aura surged, reaching the peak of a first-tier immortal in an instant, and it continued to climb.
Ultimately, it forcefully reached the absolute peak of a first-tier immortal, just one step away from becoming a second-tier immortal!
It could be seen that, at this point, this was the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land's ultimate trump card!
"You are worthy of pride!!"
Then, the immortal ancestor of the Burning Heaven Holy Land unleashed his full-power strike. "Burning Heaven Sword Codex - Annihilation!!"
With a light shout, the entire void instantly boiled, and an unprecedented aura rose. Following this, a colossal sword, over five thousand feet long, permeated the void, and in an instant, it seemed to cut through space, slashing towards the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation controlled by Ji Xuanyuan.
As the battle reached this point, the powerful figures from all factions within the Imperial City were dumbfounded. They couldn't imagine that this was an attack that a human could unleash. Their gazes turned to the tragic sight of Ji Xuanyuan and the hundred Dao Ancestors. Would the ancestors of the Galactic Empire... be their opponents!?
