That was right. The tens of millions of cultivators had attacked Ling Chou and Chu Ying not because they bore any deep-seated grudge against them. They simply wanted to obtain Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Saint-grade Heavenly Treasures, or even cultivation techniques and secret arts from the two. They also knew they couldn't drive them into a corner too quickly, because if the pair burned their Origin Bloodline Power, everything would turn to nothing, and they would get nothing at all.
So the best approach was to take things slowly—for example, use long-range archery techniques to grievously wound Ling Chou and Chu Ying, then force them to hand over their Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, or capture them outright and search their souls.
In an instant, energy arrows rained down from the sky, striking the fused Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation and Buddha Kingdom World Formation that Ling Chou and Chu Ying had set up. Ripples spread across them, as if raindrops were falling onto a lake, and the energy barrier shuddered with each impact.
Still, Ling Chou and Chu Ying had to be acknowledged for their high cultivation realms. Working together, they had influenced and controlled the Circulatory Universe, then set up the fused Myriad Sword Demon Extermination Grand Formation and Buddha Kingdom World Formation. With that, they had no trouble withstanding the first volley of archery techniques. In particular, the cultivators, afraid of killing the pair outright, were firing only energy arrows and not Merged Entity Arrows. Nearly all of them had refined arrowheads, so they could use Merged Entity Arrows too, but in their minds, those attacks were too powerful and might kill Ling Chou and Chu Ying outright. If that happened, they would get nothing, so naturally they weren't about to use those techniques just
