Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor-Chapter 1175: The Emergence of the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit

Xuanyin Hall!

At this moment, before the Xuanyin Cave in Xuanyin Hall, almost the elite leaders of the Tenglong Continent are gathered. Even those cultivators who have reached the peak of the Earth Bending Realm do not have the qualification to stand in the inner circle.

Due to the possible existence of a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit within Xuanyin Cave, after Master Xuan Yin, Xue Tianao, summoned the leaders of the other top three forces without success in breaking the seal, he called upon the leaders of the remaining thirteen major forces under the suggestion of Lu Yanji, the President of the Meridian Refining Master Association.

Standing at the forefront at this moment is none other than Lu Yanji, the President of the Meridian Refining Master Association, Xue Tianao the Xuanyin Palace Master, Wu Zhukong the Wuyan Palace Master, and Wei Duzheng the Chairman of Spirit Fighting Commerce.

These four have all reached the peak of the Lingyun Realm, and can be said to be the most formidable individuals on the Tenglong Continent.

Coupled with their vast forces behind them, even some of the old monsters at the same level as them dare not provoke them easily.

Among them, Lu Yanji is the oldest and the most powerful, thus the leadership is not in the hands of the host, Master Xuan Yin, but rather in those of the President, Lu Yanji.

As for those standing behind these four top experts, they are naturally the leaders of the thirteen major first-class forces. This might be the only time in hundreds of years that along the Tenglong Continent, all the leaders of various forces have gathered.

And all this is because of the possible existence of a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit inside Xuanyin Cave, which is equivalent to a human expert in the Heavenly Realm. Even Lu Yanji is not entirely a match.

Strange Spirits, unlike Vein Demons, have always been a major threat to humanity. If the Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit in Xuanyin Cave truly awakens, the consequences would be unimaginable, and the entire Tenglong Continent would fall into devastation.

In facing such a critical matter, all the leaders of the forces set aside their affairs and rushed to Xuanyin Hall, as such, even the most important matters must be postponed because this concerns the survival of the Human Clan.

After several months, all the leaders of the forces gradually arrived, and today is the day Lu Yanji decided to attempt breaking the seal anew, a decisive moment for success or failure.

Among these major forces, there may be grudges or irreconcilable differences, such as between Demons Mountain and Spirit Fighting Commerce, but with the imminent threat, these internal conflicts are temporarily suppressed.

"Everyone, have you remembered what I said earlier?"

Standing at the front, Lu Yanji's face is somewhat serious; he is well-versed in various subjects and has delved into some divided advance and joint attack arrays.

During these several months, he researched a method that could gather the power of numerous individuals, possibly breaking that strong seal in one fell swoop.

"Since there are no objections, let's start!"

Lu Yanji said in a deep voice, then quickly stepped forward, followed closely by Xue Tianao, Wu Zhukong, and Wei Duzheng, as well as the thirteen leaders of the major forces without any delay, positioned themselves, ready to proceed.

"Form the array, unite the power!"

Lu Yanji observed all directions, seeing everyone positioned correctly, then a voice resonated as he activated the differently-colored array flags, seemingly forming a vague connection with the people's positions.

Meanwhile, the Meridian Qi of numerous leaders surged, gathering through the array flags entirely behind Lu Yanji, awaiting a moment of eruption.

Such a collective force of Heavenly Rank experts would instantly kill Lu Yanji if used for an attack, but now he is merely guiding this power to attack the seal, fundamentally different from enduring an attack.

"Stars, converge!"

Another shout came from Lu Yanji, seeing him gesturing with both hands as if forming a virtual embrace, then the gathered force behind him fiercely struck his back.

As Lu Yanji changed his hand movements, the vast power of many Heavenly Rank experts, combined with his own strength, ultimately erupted ferociously from between his virtually embraced hands, striking hard onto the seal of Xuanyin Cave.

In Lu Yanji's view, even if inside the seventh layer of Xuanyin Cave is a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit, a strike from such a multitude of Heavenly Rank experts should break the seal, otherwise, the situation would indeed escalate.

This combined strike from numerous experts could definitely rival a Heavenly Realm expert, equivalent to the level of a Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit. If such cannot break it, it could only indicate that his previous speculation was entirely incorrect, and that it is not a Heavenly Spirit, but... a Holy Spirit!

Beyond Heavenly Demon is the Holy Demon, beyond Heavenly Spirit is naturally the Holy Spirit, equivalent to the alien spirit of a human Holy Rank Third Realm expert.

In the hands of such an alien spirit strong person, even with numerous Heavenly Rank cultivators gathered, even doubling their number, it would hardly be an opponent.

Bang!

As Lu Yanji's mind was racing with thoughts, the strike from numerous Heavenly Rank experts finally hit the seal of Xuanyin Cave, producing a resounding blast of energy wave.

Crack!

And just as everyone was anxiously awaiting, an audible cracking sound emerged from the strong seal, instantly turning the faces of numerous leaders from apprehension to joy.

"The seal is about to break!"

Wei Duzheng, Chairman of Spirit Fighting Commerce, exclaimed with excitement, then everyone saw that the cracks on the seal were multiplying.

Crash!

Finally, to everyone's astonishment, the formidable seal of Xuanyin Cave shattered with a thunderous sound, transforming into countless seal fragments that quickly dispersed into the air.

"Everyone, be careful!"

However, at this moment, Lu Yanji felt a sudden tightness in his chest and instinctively cried out. Immediately afterward, he sensed a tremendous force coming toward him, a force so violent and unbeatable that his expression changed dramatically.

Bam!

It was as if a blurred shadow flashed by; Lu Yanji's entire body was flung into the air, soaring over everyone's heads and smashing fiercely into a distant artificial hill, shattering it into pieces.

"What happened?"

The sudden turn of events greatly shocked everyone. Lu Yanji was known as a peak expert of the Lingyun Realm and was even acclaimed as the strongest on the Tenglong Continent, yet he couldn't withstand a single blow?

"Damn, it must be that Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit awakening!"

Xue Tianao reacted a bit faster, and seeing the tentacle retracting into Xuanyin Cave, he realized what might have happened. His words prompted everyone to instinctively take several steps back.

Swish!

Simultaneously, a large shadow flashed at the cave entrance of Xuanyin Cave. A massive creature appeared in front of everyone, causing them to unconsciously retreat more steps, their eyes filled with fear and caution.

Floating before the entrance of Xuanyin Cave was an enormous monster, resembling a ghost without an anchor, drifting with the wind and continuously changing shape. Its fierce aura, however, could not be hidden in any way.

At this moment, everyone finally saw the Strange Spirit's form clearly. It wasn't an incorporeal ghost but something special seemingly composed of liquid, with a faint sound of water accompanying its shifting form.

"Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit!"

The leaders of the forces present were all experts who reached the Heavenly Rank Third Realm, especially Xue Tianao and others who had attained the Lingyun Realm level. They could clearly sense the immense pressure this Strange Spirit exerted on them.

Such a strong presence that could suppress others with sheer momentum before even making a move must be at least one Great Rank higher. Coupled with the fact that Lu Yanji was sent flying with just one blow, no one doubted the Strange Spirit's Grade anymore.

"You human ants dare disturb my slumber. All of you deserve death!"

The Strange Spirit at the Heavenly Spirit Rank could already speak human language, and this Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit was no exception. Hearing the trace of anger in its voice made everyone's hearts tighten.

"Do not panic, everyone!"

At that moment, an aged figure stepped out, surprisingly the Meridian Refining Master Association President, Lu Yanji, who was previously sent flying. Hearing his voice, everyone felt reassured, like having taken a calming pill.

It seemed that although Lu Yanji was blasted away by one of the Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit's tentacles, he wasn't seriously injured. The human experts, led by him, were indeed not entirely without courage to battle that Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit.

"Does everyone remember the array positioning from before?"

Lu Yanji's expression was very solemn. From that single blow earlier, he realized the insurmountable gulf between himself and the Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit. No human expert present could be a match for it in a one-on-one fight.

Therefore, Lu Yanji could only take a dangerous gamble, hoping to gather everyone's strength once more to challenge the Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit. If they could kill it in one strike, it would prevent devastation across Tenglong Continent.

Swish, swish, swish!

The leaders of the forces were not children. Upon hearing Lu Yanji's words, they instantly knew his intentions and didn't dare to delay. After a flurry of movements, each person took their positions, vaguely forming a mystical array.

"Truly reckless!"

Seeing these human ants dare to resist, the Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit's form wobbled a few times. After a cold shout, a tentacle-like water column extended from it with incredible speed, targeting the forefront Lu Yanji.

"Gather Power!"

Seeing this, Lu Yanji shouted loudly. He had witnessed the power of the Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit just now and knew he couldn't withstand it alone, needing the combined strength of everyone.

The leaders of the forces did not delay. After a flurry of energy transmission, all power was infused into Lu Yanji's body, then transferred out by some method to clash with the Holy-Grade Heavenly Spirit's tentacle attack, producing a loud crash.

Boom!

Energy burst forth, causing some outer Xuanyin Hall Elders to feel a tightness in their chests. This was just the aftermath of both sides' clash, and even from this distance, it was so powerful that their faces turned pale.
