During the standoff with the enemy, Qin Yu quietly communicated with Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Daoist Duobao, and the others through Spiritual Sense.
"Golden Spirit, quickly have them rehearse the special divine abilities we prepared earlier once more. Make sure the disciples have mastered them, just in case. Duobao, how is the progress on refining the artifact that can exploit the loophole? It needs to be sped up," Qin Yu said with a grave expression.
Golden Spirit Holy Mother and Daoist Duobao immediately accepted their orders. Golden Spirit Holy Mother secretly gathered the elite disciples and had them rehearse the special divine abilities again in a concealed location, improving their coordination. Daoist Duobao personally oversaw the artifact-refining chamber, using powerful Magic Power to accelerate the fusion of spiritual materials so the artifact could take shape as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Qin Yu continued confronting the enemy at the front. Relying on his exceptional eloquence and formidable strength to intimidate them, he kept them from launching a rash attack. At the same time, he used the opportunity to observe their formations and methods of action, searching for weaknesses and further refining the Interception Sect's plans for dealing with the Investiture of the Gods Calamity. He knew that although this crisis was perilous, it was also an opportunity for the Interception Sect to grow and strike back. So long as they overcame this trial, the Interception Sect would surely seize the initiative in the Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
As time passed, the aura of the Investiture of the Gods Calamity grew increasingly intense, and forces from all sides converged upon the Investiture Platform. Qin Yu led the Jiejiao Disciples there with solemn expressions.
The Investiture Platform shone brilliantly, overflowing with the power of laws. The Heavenly Court, Chan Sect, and Western Sect had already gathered there, their gazes filled with vigilance and calculation toward the Interception Sect.
The investiture ceremony began. Rays of light shot from the Investiture of the Gods List, attempting to draw in everyone's souls. Seeing this, Qin Yu secretly signaled Daoist Duobao. Daoist Duobao swiftly took out the refined artifact. It emitted an unusual radiance that echoed the light of the Investiture of the Gods List.
Qin Yu circulated Chaos Power and activated the artifact, instantly triggering a loophole in the Investiture of the Gods List. The formerly orderly investiture laws fell into chaos at once. Light scattered wildly, and the Investiture Platform shook violently. Seizing the chance, the Jiejiao Disciples unleashed their special divine abilities and broke free from the Investiture of the Gods List's pull.
When the enemy saw that the Interception Sect had actually triggered a loophole in the Investiture of the Gods List and disrupted the investiture process, they were both shocked and furious. The Heavenly Court swiftly deployed the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, forming a powerful battle formation as they charged toward the Jiejiao Disciples. The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect also brought out their magic treasures, unleashing powerful attacks that poured down upon the Interception Sect like a torrential downpour. The Arhats and Bodhisattvas of the Western Sect released Buddhist light, attempting to purify the Jiejiao Disciples' power of resistance.
Although the Jiejiao Disciples possessed special divine abilities and magic treasures, the enemy was simply too powerful, and they gradually fell into danger. Golden Spirit Holy Mother wielded the Dragon Tiger Ruyi, desperately fending off the attacks, with several wounds already on her body. Wudang Holy Mother protected the injured disciples while using a sword formation to hold back the enemy's advance.
Watching his disciples struggle bitterly, Qin Yu grew anxious. The enemy had clearly prepared a contingency plan. After the Interception Sect triggered the loophole, they had swiftly adjusted their strategy and attempted to forcibly push forward the investiture plan. At this moment, the Interception Sect faced an unprecedented crisis. If they could not quickly devise a response, all their efforts would come to nothing.
Qin Yu's gaze flashed like lightning as he rapidly swept across the battlefield, his mind racing for a solution. He knew they had to end this quickly, or the casualties among the Jiejiao Disciples would only continue to rise.
Qin Yu shouted, and Chaos Power surged from his body, forming a powerful shield that temporarily blocked the enemy's attacks. While using a great divine ability to stabilize the loophole in the Investiture of the Gods List and prevent the enemy from repairing it, he transmitted his voice to Golden Spirit Holy Mother. "Golden Spirit, lead the elite disciples and focus your strength on the enemy's weak points. Break their encirclement!"
