"Be patient," White Mist replied leisurely in response to the question from the Winged True Lord.
"The cards haven't been revealed yet, so just watch and see. You've already participated in the game."
Most powerful beings from other races have a slightly higher resistance to the collapse of the heavens than cultivators.
Otherwise, Taotie Zhenjun wouldn't have been so unrestrained when facing Tianqing's aura.
The Twin-Winged True Lord and Kan Shui did not stand idly by; they also unleashed their own supernatural powers to resist the intrusion of the Heavenly Inclined.
This is a passively triggered defense, with negligible causal relationship, but their presence relieved some pressure on the team.
Kan Shui could sense that leaving wouldn't be difficult at the moment, but the absence of the two of them would still cause some negative effects.
The impact won't be significant, but if they fail to save the day and someone takes their anger out on them, that would be bad.
So for now, the right thing to do is to persevere, watch the excitement while doing favors.
When things become unbearable, they will choose an opportunity to leave, and then no one will be able to say anything about it.
Although Xuan Zhi Shang is difficult to resist, it has one advantage—as long as one can assess the situation and leave in time, the consequences will not be too serious.
Isn't this what the general trend should be like?
While the momentum is overwhelming and unstoppable, if the hatred isn't too deep and one is sensible enough to run away quickly, one can generally get ashore safely.
“I know that too, I’m just asking,” Twin-Winged True Monarch chuckled dryly.
"But this Ring of Heavenly Inclination is really something. First it was endless twilight, and now it's endless gloom..."
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Kan Shui couldn't help but curse angrily, "Is this something you can just say... We're doomed!"
The next moment, the rate at which the grayness increased slightly, unlike the gradual increase before.
This can be interpreted as... Xuan Zhishang being slightly annoyed again.
The reason is easy to understand: the three Heavenly Rings do not exist in isolation.
They may not be closely connected to each other, but they are definitely connected in the same event of the collapse of the sky!
The key point is that the Twin-Winged True Lord's words were comparing the two Heavenly Rings, and Kan Shui intuitively felt that this was extremely dangerous!
As expected, Xuan Zhishang underwent a noticeable change, leaving Bai Wu speechless. "You bastard..."
The boost wasn't particularly strong, but this kind of ordeal... wasn't the kind of event that involved dramatic ups and downs, was it?
Luo Fu sensed it too, so she glanced at her cheap senior brother and asked, "Can you still hold on?"
"I feel like we can hold out for a while longer," Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed, "Well, let's be prepared for the worst."
The next moment, a faint gray light flashed before his figure, shooting towards the Dao Stele with incredible speed.
However, no matter how fast it was, almost everyone at the scene could see clearly that it was a small road marker projected onto the phantom.
"The true form..." True Monarch Shuang Chi was not surprised. Kan Shui had previously said that he had not yet revealed his trump card, and this was one of them.
There is no doubt that a projection is no match for the real person. And before this, Qu Zhenzun had never used the Dao Stele in its original form.
Therefore, his trump card had already been figured out by others – he hadn't even revealed his true strength yet, so he definitely still had plenty of resources left!
Fortunately, he was the one who was recognized as the one who saved the day, so even if others had doubts, they would not dare to ask.
Because many of the key points of the Heavenly Inclination are like heavenly secrets that cannot be clearly explained—once they are spoken, they become useless.
In short, since everyone can confirm that the person in question is reliable, then we should choose to trust them unconditionally.
However, at this moment, Qu Jianlei's face was ashen—once his true form was revealed, damage was inevitable!
Of course, he didn't need to overdraft his cave dwelling to create a passage, which greatly reduced his own energy consumption and gave him a certain degree of mobility.
However, if he had a choice, he would really prefer to... continue using the projection instead of summoning the true form of the Dao Monument!
The moment the illusory image was projected onto the main body of the Dao Stele, the massive Yunzi Stele's aura surged instantly!
The growth rate of the phantom was also increasing rapidly, and it was an explosive growth.
Two and a half billion kilometers, three billion kilometers, four billion kilometers... The phantom image is growing wildly!
"Holy crap..." Big-Headed Boy was dumbfounded. "Is it really that violent?"
Compared to Xuan Zhi Shang's steady and gradual improvement, the Dao Stele's reaction can be described as "furious".
Just like a husband who discovers a thief has broken into his home, he could only issue an angry warning through the speaker on the security camera!
Now, they've teleported straight home, so why not unleash their full power? What are they waiting for?
Of course, this might underestimate the potential danger posed by the thief, and such violent behavior could lead to a swift and decisive counterattack.
However, this does not mean that the Dao Stele lacks intelligence or is lacking in thought.
Rather, it is as a guardian of the lower-dimensional order that it is fulfilling its natural mission!
At this moment, Qu Jianlei sensed the Dao Stele's emotions—I don't care who you are, anyone who dares to harm the lower-dimensional order must die!
If you can't kill the opponent, then... just destroy it!
In short, the invasion and infiltration of Xuan Zhi Shang are methodical—perhaps this is how the rules were originally supposed to be.
However, the stele didn't consider so many factors; its instinctive decision was to faithfully perform its duties—of course, this may still be the rule.
As soon as the main body of the Yunzi Stele appeared, its illusory image expanded rapidly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
This pervasive gloom is putting immense pressure on everyone.
The feeling of wanting to resist but not knowing where to start is especially frustrating.
The endless twilight is at least tangible; it can be resisted, and cracks can be made.
But this endless gloom, which seemed to appear out of nowhere, caused little to no ripple in any response!
Yes, that adjective is really apt... a major trend!
Let me ask one person... no, a cultivator who wants to resist the tide of power, do you know where to begin?
It's not that people don't want to fight, it's that they simply don't know where to fight or what methods to use!
However, once the Dao Stele itself was activated, the situation instantly changed.
However, the young woman quickly spoke up, "Be careful... don't hold your tongue for too long!"
“That is the fate of the defenders,” the Möbius strip sighed softly.
She was, after all, a human cultivator who had been involved in various missions and was experienced. Her understanding of the specific details was even stronger than that of Taiyuan Hai.
The key point is that she understands one thing: "Xiao Qu cannot completely control the Dao Stele."
Even the Ancestral Witch misunderstood this part, but she was absolutely certain: "Protect it!"
"I really want to..." Qu Jianlei muttered softly, turning his head to look at Tong Zu—why not?
The big-headed boy glanced at him, looking completely innocent.
That's just not the time yet! Qu Jianlei didn't believe that a powerful cultivator at the Integration Realm would be so bored as to tease him.
The next moment, another change occurred, and the speed of the dark infiltration suddenly increased!
Song Yue'er's body swayed slightly, and the sub-formation formed by Jin Ge, Qing Kong, and Xi Wu was almost affected.
"Oh my god!" she exclaimed, trying to regain her composure while issuing a warning, "Beware of psychological attacks!"
The True Venerable Qingkong had already summoned a butterfly. The colorful butterfly fluttered its wings and said, "It's not a mental attack."
At this moment, Jin Ge is in the form of a large metal net, "a comprehensive suppression, and the speed has increased!"
But what good is the speed increase? The road monument is also growing at an alarming rate, exceeding 10 billion kilometers in less than half a day.
To Qu Jianlei's surprise, the Dao Stele accelerated while simultaneously scattering specks of its aura.
It just felt like... a bit of a waste of energy.
However, Qu Jianlei didn't need the other party to explain; he guessed the purpose of this operation—it was clearly to set up a suppression field!
As mentioned before, although the Yunzi Stele is powerful, its core is... biased towards a defensive stance!
Since there are no particularly effective offensive means other than overwhelming force, there is only one way to counterattack.
Expand your defensive perimeter ever larger, and keep expanding it!
Isn't this just like the Chinese land on Earth? It's not good at aggression, and in order to avoid being invaded, it can only keep expanding its defensive territory.
Until it expanded to the point where it could not be expanded any further, it forged an infinitely brilliant civilization!
The Dao Stele is the same; it is used to suppressing all kinds of anomalies, so it can only expand its defensive range as a means of attack!
This is also a steady and pragmatic approach – regardless of whether it has offensive capabilities, it is indeed a defensive posture.
Then something interesting happened: these two groups, both seeking stability, actually became agitated when they clashed!
Xuan Zhishang was originally quite unhurried, and even though there were occasional fluctuations, he generally won by leveraging momentum.
With the momentum in our hands, we have the world at our fingertips. There's no need to rush, is there?
However, after the Dao Stele's aura surged, the speed at which the darkness infiltrated also increased rapidly!
It seems to be saying: I'm used to overwhelming the opponent with momentum, but that doesn't mean I can't fight close-quarters combat!
As the darkness intensified, strange fluctuations appeared around the Dao Stele, and the area... kept expanding!
The pressure that the other members were experiencing was temporarily relieved.
The reason is simple: the conflict between these two forces has attracted too much hatred and... too much energy.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief: it was a rare chance to rest!
The tragedy of Xuan may not end so easily, but having a chance to catch one's breath is a good thing.
However, just as everyone was relaxing, Qu Jianlei glanced at Tong Zu again.
This time, he didn't say a single word.
But his eyes made it very clear: Senior, if you don't make a move soon... then what are you waiting for?
The Dao Stele's true form began to fight desperately, and its patience had been completely exhausted!
What he needs most is comrades-in-arms who can fight alongside him!
Seizing the best opportunity and having allies join the battle in time... that's certainly not a bad idea.
But those speculators who just want to sit back and watch their allies wear down their forces, then reap the benefits and maximize their own gains... well, forget about them.
Although Qu is only a minor True Venerable, his favors are not cheap!
To gain his favor, you have to be sincere; it's not something you can get by simply showing off your cultivation level.
The big-headed boy paused for a moment, and then... he actually laughed again.
