Inside the defensive formation, countless students gathered, some looking at the outside scenery with worry, others with anxiety.
No.
It can no longer be described as scenery.
A dense multitude of powerful beings occupied the outer sky, completely obscuring all clouds and radiance.
They appeared outside the Primordial Beginning Institute, piloting hundreds of flying ships, like a dark cloud looming overhead, their massive army pressing in.
Almost all the powerful figures from the Six Academies were here. They sensed the strength of the army outside and all frowned.
"This is truly... a formidable enemy!"
No one is without worries.
Needless to say, they were on high alert, because they were now in the midst of a formidable enemy.
Just one glance is enough to make one feel suffocated.
It wasn't that they were cowardly or afraid of trouble; it was simply that the enemy's lineup was far too terrifying!
The Primordial Slaying Alliance, a newly established and recently formed alliance, sent cultivators whose strength was in no way inferior to that of the Primordial Holy Heaven, which had accumulated over many years.
A quick scan with his Divine Sense revealed that among the cultivators from the Primordial Slaying Alliance, there were several hundred experts above the Thearch Realm, including many Great Emperor and Ancient Emperor.
What's most alarming isn't them, but the six people at the head of that fleet of airships.
None of the six concealed their faces; their expressions were indifferent, as if they didn't care about the outcome of the battle before them. But it was precisely because of this that one could feel their utter disregard for the Primordial Holy Heaven.
The aura emanating from them was virtually identical to that of the two vice-deans of the Primordial Holy Heaven, and the four Half-Saint powerhouses of the Heaven-Reaching Institute and the Primordial Beginning Institute!
It is clear that they are all powerful individuals at the Half-Saint level.
Half-Saint...
Looking across the Saint Heaven Realm, they are all at the very top of the pyramid.
Without the Saint Realm emerging, Half-Saint is invincible.
Within the Ten Great Saint Heavens, even Half-Saint can serve as a Vice Dean or Dean.
But these are the kinds of people who came, and there were six of them at once!
Even though the number of the Thearch Realm Primordial Slaying Alliance is slightly less than that of the Primordial Holy Heaven, the Primordial Holy Heaven still has its foundation. Even though some Holy Masters have betrayed it, the Holy Heaven is still the Holy Heaven, and it can still overwhelm the Primordial Slaying Alliance in terms of the number of the Thearch Realm.
However, the Primordial Slaying Alliance has two more Half-Saint than the Primordial Holy Heaven!
This is enough to make up for the lack of the Thearch Realm experts.
In a battle of this magnitude, top-tier experts at the Half-Saint level are the key to determining victory or defeat.
No wonder these six powerful figures had such an indescribable calm and composure on their faces.
Even ten Ancient Emperor might not be able to compare to a single Half-Saint!
Half-Saint is indeed that powerful!
The eyes of several high-ranking officials were filled with worry.
Even though there were rumors that the Primordial Slaying Alliance was composed of several remaining sects destroyed by the Primordial Holy Heaven, they did not expect that the Primordial Slaying Alliance's combat power would be so strong.
but...
If you think about it this way, then it seems quite normal.
After all, this is the result of those forces lying dormant for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years.
This is the day they have been waiting for, the day they have been working towards.
Looking at the dark, oppressive mass outside, resembling a dark cloud hanging over the heads of the Primordial Slaying Alliance experts, and the six Half-Saint standing at the forefront of the flying boat fleet, everyone in the Primordial Holy Heaven felt uneasy.
Almost involuntarily, everyone began to have doubts.
Can they really win this battle?
Or rather, is there really a chance to win?
With the enemy's massive army pressing in, even if the high-ranking officials of the Primordial Holy Heaven were apprehensive, they would not back down from battle at this critical moment.
Primordial Beginning Institute, several high-ranking members exchanged glances, then transformed into streaks of light and instantly appeared in mid-air.
These were the two vice-principals of the Primordial Holy Heaven, and the principals of the three inner academies.
Lin Xuan was among them, of course.
Such a momentous event requires the joint efforts of everyone in the Primordial Holy Heaven, and Lin Xuan certainly could not be absent.
Lin Xuan has now successfully broken through to the Thearch Realm.
However, his cultivation level was only at the Thearch Realm First Layer Peak.
Even so, his cultivation level was simply insufficient compared to the other Half-Saint among these peak experts, making him completely out of place.
Just looking at it, it seems to have lost more than one point in terms of momentum.
A peak-level Half-Saint- saint confronts another, while he alone is at the Emperor Thearch Realm, specifically the Thearch Realm First Layer —even at the peak of the first level, isn't that still the first level?
As he hovered in mid-air, almost everyone's gaze was focused on him. The six Half-Saint of the Primordial Slaying Alliance ignored everyone else and stared intently at Lin Xuan. One of the Half-Saint even couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Pfft!"
"Has your Primordial Holy Heaven fallen to such a state?"
"Even if there aren't many Half-Saint, they wouldn't use this piece of trash who just broke through to the first level of the Thearch Realm to fill the ranks, would they? Heh, I think that old geezer Bai Wuya is really senile... Oh, no, I almost forgot, that old bastard is already dead."
His tone was mocking and full of contempt. His disrespect for Bai Wuya made all the high-ranking members and students of Primordial Holy Heaven glare at him angrily, wishing they could devour him alive.
The headmaster of the Primordial Beginning Institute couldn't help but twitch his lips. After all, no matter what, what the other party said was indeed true...
"Hmph, no need for you to bother!" Bai Wushang said coldly, his voice devoid of any emotion.
The other senior executives pursed their lips, remaining silent.
They were quite eager to refute this Half-Saint Primordial Slaying Alliance.
But how could they possibly refute it?
The heads of the three inner courtyards, the heads of the Primordial Beginning Institute and the Heaven-Reaching Institute, are both Half-Saint, while Lin Xuan is the only one who is an Thearch Realm. Fortunately, he broke through in a time of crisis and is no longer Heavenly Venerable. Otherwise, they would have been ridiculed in no time!
The headmaster of Primordial Beginning Institute sighed deeply in his heart.
Don't tell others that they don't know what the old dean is thinking.
Even they, the "insiders," didn't know!
Now, being ridiculed for this very point makes them feel like they're swallowing a bitter pill, unable to express their grievances.
Looking at Lin Xuan, who was only at the Thearch Realm First Layer, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.
With such a low cultivation level, if a fight breaks out later, wouldn't a single Sword Qi be enough to kill him?
well...
Even if an Ancient Emperor at the Thearch Realm Ninth Stage Peak were to serve as the head of the Supreme Institute, it would be far better than Lin Xuan, who is only at the Thearch Realm First Layer!
No.
Before the battle even began, they were already at a significant disadvantage in terms of morale!
The head of the Primordial Beginning Institute was very Qi Ingestion, but there was nothing he could do.
Why is it that everyone else is Half-Saint, while they, the Primordial Holy Heaven, have sent someone at the Thearch Realm First Layer to fill the ranks?
To others, it might seem like they really can't afford to live...
