Beneath the gloomy sky, wind and thunder howled.
Mountains rose in the distance like natural Dao platforms.
Whether by the Alliance's design or not, a Martial Dao Venerable Lord sat cross-legged atop every mountain.
As they breathed, magnificent phenomena surrounded them, each distinct from the others-
Sword qi pierced the heavens, lightning flickered, or Buddhist auras swirled!
Spiritual energy stirred in response, and even the laws within ten thousand miles seemed to tremble for them!
These were Venerable Lords of the melding Dao realm.
This was the imposing might befitting cultivators of the third stage of the ascension realm!
Six Venerable Lords had now arrived, all representatives of the great transcendent powers of the Myriad Laws Celestial Domain.
Together with the three Venerable Lords already present from the Alliance,
the total number of Venerable Lords here had reached a chilling nine!
Amid them, even Chen Yu, a member of the Star Sea Alliance, could not help feeling anxious and short of breath.
Although the Alliance had sent three Venerable Lords to participate in the Celestial Domain Grand Formation,
he knew full well
that in actual combat, he was only at the sixth level of the melding Dao realm-the weakest of the three, and indeed of all nine present!
I only hope I won't become a burden when the time comes...
Chen Yu sighed inwardly, his fingers tightening slightly inside his sleeves.
Seemingly sensing his tension,
the long-bearded elder from the Alliance seated on a nearby mountain glanced over and said with a chuckle,
"Fellow Daoist Chen Yu, set your mind at ease."
"This battle may be perilous, but everyone here is a titan of their respective power. If the sky falls, we'll shoulder it together."
Chen Yu took a deep breath at those words and composed himself. He nodded slightly
