"Let me go down and investigate this time?" He Caoqin volunteered, since he could activate the formation and held the formation disk in his hands. With his proficiency, reaching the fourth layer of space would pose no problem. Of course, he alone wouldn't be enough, so I looked toward Xijun and said, "Xijun, go down and investigate with him as well. I'll have the Heaven-Peering Mirror monitor your situation in real time."
"Yes, Big Brother!" After receiving a strand of Li Zixin's soul consciousness, Xijun immediately followed He Caoqin into the Heavenly Sword spacetime.
Sure enough, in the mirror behind Li Zixin, the scene of Xijun and He Caoqin rushing into Heavenly Sword City together appeared.
Meanwhile, Li Tianjian continued forcibly extracting the aura from the ancient battlefield. At present, it was equivalent to squeezing the aura out of a pocket, then weakening the ancient god's power to the limit—or simply forcing him to enter the Chaos and prove the Dao, becoming a member of the Investiture of the Gods. The amount of aura was therefore bound to be enormous. I had no idea whether it would accomplish the goal of Li Tianjian's plan.
The aura around the Heavenly Sword and inside Heavenly Sword City had already grown terrifyingly dense. Even I felt uncomfortable all over. After all, I was not truly an immortal at the Chaos realm yet. What I hadn't expected, however, was that the Annihilating God in my hand seemed perfectly at ease. Ever since it had become a place to store the aura of the Illusory Sword Heaven, I no longer needed to absorb the Illusory Sword Heaven's particles back into my body. Once they were stored inside the Annihilating God, no matter how the Illusory Sword Heaven churned, my Dao body wouldn't suffer any problems.
