Resistance Faction Allied Army??
Lin Hui, Resistance Faction, had heard of the alliance before, but this so-called "alliance" was something he had never heard of before.
He glanced at the three women, including the Cold Night Matriarch. These three were the only truly Fusion Faction here. The Resistance Faction had appeared; if this woman hadn't fabricated her identity, it meant the three of them might be in danger.
"Senior Silent Stone Swallow?" Lin Hui withdrew his gaze and returned to the woman from the Stone Swallow Clan who had spoken.
"Indeed. You can simply call me You Yan." Silent Stone Swallow smiled. "The long years have been so boring. I haven't seen someone as interesting as you in a very, very long time... A person who occupies the position of leader of the Fusion Faction, yet is not a member of the Fusion Faction himself, and has many secrets, as if entangled in a huge and complicated web of cause and effect. You are not even at the seventh ring yet, and you are already involved in so many troubles. If you really reach the seventh ring... the Nine Heavens Gate alone will not be able to protect you."
"So, senior, you mean you can protect me?" Lin Hui asked rhetorically.
"Of course I can't either, but what you've learned is very interesting and has already attracted the attention of the important figures in my army. I can help you get introduced. I'm not afraid to tell you that this area is actually a buffer zone between our Resistance Faction and the forces of calamity. Apart from my Swallow Fort, almost all other forces have already been corrupted by calamity, including the God Clan Zhu Li and the Dragon Court Ancestral Dragon that you see." You Yan bluntly stated.
These words sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.
"Impossible! If the Ancestral Dragon had been corrupted long ago, it's impossible that there wouldn't have been any movement at all. With the Ancestral Dragon's strength, even the Source Disaster couldn't have corrupted it silently!" Zhuo Xinghai stood up excitedly to refute.
"He was corrupted, so it's impossible for it to happen silently. But, have you ever considered... that he might have embraced it voluntarily?" You Yan smiled and glanced at Zhuo Xinghai. Zhuo Xinghai opened his mouth, but the moment he opened it, he realized that if what You Yan said was true, then only by actively accepting and embracing the calamity's corruption could the corruption be made silent.
At this moment, You Yan pointed it out.
"You think you can slander my Dragon Court Ancestral Dragon by just saying a few words?! Ridiculous!" Zhuo Xinghai still had his own beliefs and convictions. Although he was rebellious and wanted to start a revolution, he still held a sliver of hope for the Remnant Heart Ancestral Dragon, believing that the Ancestral Dragon was simply asleep and unaware of many things, which was why he allowed the Dragon Court to become increasingly Decay.
But now, after You Yan exposed his lies on the spot, his faith has been completely shattered.
"You've already matched up, it seems you've gone through a lot of details. Then I don't need to elaborate." You Yan smiled slightly as she looked at Zhuo Xinghai's rapidly changing expression.
Her gaze returned to Lin Hui.
"How is it? Actually, I haven't been involved in things here. Most of the Resistance Faction behind me are busy fighting against the widespread encroachment of other calamities. This place is barely stable, so I haven't bothered with it for the time being. Even coming to see you now is something I've squeezed out of my busy schedule. I'll have to go back to help soon. If you agree, I can immediately help you settle everything here and take you to my Resistance Faction headquarters."
She paused for a moment and then smiled.
"Actually, the fact that you've been searching for a way out on your own shows that you know very well that continuing to follow the Nine Heavens Gate Sect will only lead to a hopeless situation like Seven Extinctions's, where you're just waiting to die."
"Then you have hope?" Lin Hui asked rhetorically.
"Our situation is alright now, at least we can hold on. As long as the Great Annihilation doesn't happen, and with the current Star Lord in charge, we can sustain ourselves for a few hundred million years," You Yan smiled. "But what about you? If you stay at the Nine Heavens Gate, how long can you hold out?"
"With my strength, joining you wouldn't make much of a difference, would it?" Lin Hui said in a deep voice. "It might be okay here, but in a real battle against calamities, I'm still far, far behind."
"What would alarm someone at a higher level isn't your current strength, but your potential!" You Yan nodded. "Think it over carefully. Once you leave the Nine Heavens Gate, you won't have to pretend to be Fusion Faction every day, and you won't have to worry about Seven Extinctions suddenly going crazy and crushing you. Fusion Faction permanently lose their senses; what's lost will never return. One day, he'll suddenly not recognize you and attack you. At that time..."
Lin Hui fell silent.
He knew that what You Yan said was indeed true, and it was the key factor that had been worrying him and was why he wanted to pull his teacher out of the Fusion Faction. And at this moment, the conditions You Yan offered could indeed solve his biggest hidden danger.
With the top-tier strength of You Yan's Seven Rings, there's no reason for them to fabricate such an easily exposed lie to deceive themselves.
Therefore,... what she said is most likely true.
The transformation of his own Source Disaster Energy attracted the attention of higher-level forces. Since the Immortal Fire could bring more danger and trouble, it naturally also attracted equal attention from others because it entered the vision of higher levels.
At that moment, a genuine wavering arose in his heart.
Wind Disaster, Nine Heavens Gate.
On a flat, round surface surrounded by mountain peaks.
Zhu Li slowly flew down, gently stood still, and looked up to examine this strange sect located in the midst of the Wind Disaster.
He had been here for ten minutes, but the owner of the place remained silent, seemingly unwilling to see him.
" Zhu Li, the commander-in-chief of the Endless Divine Clan, has come to pay a visit to True Lord of Seven Destructions. Please come out and have a talk with me." He spoke loudly through his voice.
Driven by immense Divine Power, the rolling sound waves reverberated across the entire Nine Heavens Gate.
The sound waves alone were enough to activate the Protective Array inside the Nine Heavens Gate. It began to hum and operate at Great Merit, transforming into a light blue barrier that appeared above the surrounding mountain peaks.
Swish!
Seven Extinctions, who had gained a lot of weight, sighed slowly, flew out of the Pill Hall, put his hands behind his back, and in an instant appeared on the central circular platform, landing more than ten meters away from Zhu Li, where he stood still.
"My silence already shows my attitude, doesn't it? Why did you deliberately speak up? Do you think I'm too old to wield a sword anymore?" Seven Extinctions sighed, his words sounding like a conversation between old friends, without any killing intent. However, the Wind Disaster Energy around him surged rapidly, condensing into crystal-clear blue longswords that circled, spun, and tumbled around the two of them.
In an instant, millions of countless Disaster Energy- infused flying swords appeared, almost completely enveloping the entire Nine Heavens Gate in a giant pale blue crystal cocoon of flying swords.
A surge of terrifying Disaster Energy, hundreds of times stronger than that of an ordinary seventh-ring cultivator, released its pressure and gathered on Zhu Li.
Zhu Li's expression hardened slightly.
This is why he's only visiting now. First, he hadn't fully absorbed and digested the power he had previously acquired, and his strength was still significantly weaker than Seven Extinctions's, so he wasn't confident. Second, Seven Extinctions rarely left Wind Disaster, and when he did, he would inevitably leave behind a seed for physical recovery at the Nine Heavens Gate. If they were to actually fight, aside from mutually depleting each other's knowledge, it wouldn't be of much use. Furthermore, this was Seven Extinctions's home turf... Here, his power could be easily replenished, while he would be completely isolated, falling into an absolute disadvantage.
Therefore, he was very reluctant to come. However, unless he could completely reach an agreement with the Nine Heavens Gate, he was unlikely to obtain the final certificate unless he forcibly seized it. In fact, his real purpose was also to avoid a complete break with the Nine Heavens Gate. As someone who later became a member of the Fusion Faction, he was well aware that the older generation of Fusion Faction had many flawed understandings, like candles flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment. This also led to their inexplicable stubbornness in many areas, because there were really not many things they could still hold onto.
In short, the older generation of the Fusion Faction, the more time passes, the more likely they are to lose their minds and fight you to the death. But Zhu Li, with a bright future ahead of him, has no intention of fighting to the death!
"I have come here with full sincerity to discuss this matter. The God King Authority Token is now being interfered with by your disciple, rendering it useless to you. I can offer sufficient benefits in exchange. Your intervention in our world is solely for one thing: cognition," Zhu Li said in a deep voice.
"I can give the entire human realm to your Nine Heavens Gate. Hundreds of planets, trillions of people, enough for you to form a self-sustaining cognitive harvesting system. In this way, you can completely use this to carry forward the Nine Heavens Gate! As long as you hand over Lin Hui and the God King Authority Token to me for disposal. How about it?" "Are you finished?" Seven Extinctions said calmly.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Li's expression changed slightly.
"It's time to get going!" Suddenly, blue light shone in Seven Extinctions's eyes, and countless points of light flowed and spun like the Milky Way.
In an instant, all the surrounding Wind Disaster flying swords trembled, adjusted their angles, and hurtled towards Zhu Li in the center.
boom!!!
Golden materialized Divine Power condensed into gloves on Zhu Li's hands, and she unleashed a barrage of punches like lightning to meet the surrounding rain of swords.
However, the home advantage was too great. In just a few seconds, all his divine Divine Power was completely disintegrated, and his entire body turned into countless particles that dissipated with the wind. His Divine Power and body were torn apart time and time again by countless flying swords.
" Seven Extinctions, you've got guts!! Since you've chosen to tear off the mask, let's see who laughs last!!" Zhu Li was truly enraged this time. He knew he had underestimated the importance of Lin Hui and the power certificate in Seven Extinctions ' eyes.
In the instant he was completely torn apart, he did not hesitate any longer and immediately declared war on Seven Extinctions.
"Fool, you know nothing, yet you think you're so clever." Seven Extinctions smiled contemptuously, looking at the surrounding sect's territory that had been smashed and shattered. With a wave of his hand, countless Disaster Energy gathered and materialized, directly repairing the damaged area as if it were new.
"If I wanted to, I could easily slaughter several worlds. If knowledge alone could rebuild the sect, I would have done it long ago..." Some things are not a matter of the crystallization of knowledge. Rather, it's that these old guys' own knowledge is no longer sufficient to awaken them from the depths of the ancient Wind Disaster.
In fact, even he himself didn't know how he recovered. One day, out of nowhere, he woke up from the depths of the Wind Disaster and found that he had regained some of his memories. Then, following a mysterious connection, he found the current Lin Hui.
Among his former fellow disciples and grand-disciples, those who reached a similar level, no matter how actively they spread their fame and let more people know and remember their names and experiences, there has never been another example like him.
From that moment on, he understood that Lin Hui was different.
