Chapter 1816: Immortal Weapons of War

While surrendered fourth realm cultivators still cultivated immortal dao, their mindsets and thoughts shifted in an entirely new direction after being trained by the chief worlds. They were here to destroy the Dragon Formula Academy, not to observe a battle between heavyweights.

Since Yun Lang hadn’t given the order to withdraw, they would not retreat.

Taking a moment to regroup, three hundred million cultivators surged forward once more. Apart from Nihil World Sovereigns and Void World Kings of the fourth realm, there were also many sequence experts from the chief worlds among them. Otherwise, just three hundred million fourth realm cultivators by themselves would never pose a sufficient threat to the Dragon Formula Academy.

There was only one Jian Bu’er and he was preoccupied with Yun Lang. On the other hand, this meant that Yun Lang was tied up with Jian Bu’er.

The Dragon Formula Academy was widely viewed as the third greatest academy in the fourth realm. They would have no problem handling an army of three hundred million if they didn’t have to face a powerhouse like Yun Lang as well.

Rumble—

The academy gates opened as hell battleships sailed out with great fanfare. Pillars of black light spewed from the mouths of their hell cannons and raced toward the army.

“Hell cannons huh? We’ve been waiting for you!” Eighteen tenth level and above sequence experts took to the sky a second before the cannons fired and assembled into a strange formation. A black curtain descended from above, surrounding the army when the cannons discharged.

Boom!

The pillars of black radiance dispersed as motes of black light when they hit the curtain.

“What is that?!” gaped the academy disciples on the hell battleships.

“Darkness Sudein, courtesy of Moran Xutong.” A young man wearing long black robes walked out of the crowd. He somehow emanated a dark aura; it’d been his furious roar that galvanized the army and sent them toward the Formula Academy again.

“Kill them.” He wasted no further time and simply repeated his exhortation. Three hundred million beings marched forward in unison.

The academy disciples on the ships despaired. Hell cannons were their final trump card, but True Nihil Homeland completely negated them with a single bizarre curtain!

These ships were only vessels to transport hell cannons—they weren’t the caliber of ship refined by Lu Yun. His ships could run roughshod over order itself. Thus, thirty-six ships were sunk in short order. Their furnaces detonated when the vessel was lost, ensuring that no treasure would fall into the enemy’s grasp.

……

“Darkness Sudein!” The overseer of the Dragon Formula Academy was the previous headmaster’s junior disciple—the Qilong Sovereign King. At seven levels of sequence, he was an incredible powerhouse. But to the outsiders, seven levels of sequence was nothing worthy of note.

“The spirit paper says that the Moran Clan commands the darkness and owns a world of dark dao sequence. They are one of the heavyweights in the chief worlds, but it also says that none of them have invaded our home. So what is this Moran Xutong doing here?” The Qilong Sovereign King paled.

“Cultivators of the chief worlds are ambitious wolves trying to destroy our homeland. I will never surrender, even on pain of death!” He grit his teeth. “If any of you would like to leave, you can leave or surrender at any time! The Dragon Formula Academy has never forced its disciples to do anything!”

“We would rather die than surrender!” yelled the disciples around him.

Formula Academies never demanded absolute loyalty or forced their disciples to stay. One could attend if they wished to learn new knowledge. One could promptly leave once they’d learned all that they wanted. No tuition was charged and students could earn various cultivation resources through completing missions.

This was unheard of in the fourth realm. Because of this, each academy was remarkably united and of one heart. Many disciples who’d attended the Dragon Formula Academy came back to their alma mater when they heard the Dragon Cluster was under attack. The strongest among them had set foot into sequence, but most of them were World Manifests.

In the chief worlds, World Manifest didn’t count as even a baby.

The immortal dao ruled over the fourth realm and everyone walked its path. The great dao’s own level, however, reached only the Hongmeng. The cultivation levels of the fourth realm were yet to change and they were still divided according to their old system.

The major difference was that cultivators no longer trained in “nothing”. Under the old system, people would eventually cultivate themselves out of existence if they didn’t set foot into sequence. These days, everyone cultivated the tangible immortal force.

With immortal dao traversing the realm, those of the same level were far stronger than their peers of the past. There’d even been some experiments conducted that showed a new Void World King could thrash the Nihil World Sovereigns of old.

“We won’t be dying today!” The Qilong Sovereign King suddenly thought of something. Jian Bu’er arriving to their aid meant that the Star Formula Academy had received their request for help and responded—it would be more than Jian Bu’er who came.

“Open the inner hall and bring out the Immortal Myriadpeak!” he roared.

Immortal Myriadpeak was formed out of dirt that the Immortal Myriadtree had once been rooted in. It was immortal soil that bore immortal dao—the great dao suffused each of its particles. It was also the foundation of all academies in the fourth realm.

After the supremes of the chief worlds besieged the Star Formula Academy two hundred and sixty years ago, all of the other academies in the fourth realm received a gift—an Immortal Myriadpeak. It could communicate with the Star Formula Academy, the academy at Mount Astronomia, and even the world of immortals.

The Dragon Formula Academy had requested help through the mountain. Jian Bu’er was here in response, but no one else seemed to be coming. The Qilong Sovereign King immediately understood the situation.

Jian Bu’er by himself couldn’t save them, but if too many reinforcements came, they would all be intercepted along the way. If the Star Formula Academy was to send help, it would arrive through the Immortal Myriadpeak. But the academy issued no official guidelines when it handed over the mountains, which tipped off the Qilong Sovereign King to an unpleasant possibility—there was a spy within his academy.

When the Immortal Myriadpeak appeared, rays of immortal light surrounded the academy. A white cannon slowly rose from the depths of the mountain, a treasure that the Dragon Formula Academy had never seen before. Plainly, the Star Formula Academy had sent it through the mountain.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

White flames blazed into existence over the snowy Immortal Myriadpeak, swallowing the cannon in a ten-thousandth of a breath. The mountain now seemed more like a massive furnace providing energy for the white cannon.

Everyone went pale as they considered the might of the cannon—it was far stronger than hell cannons. In fact, it was stronger than the main cannon on Lu Yun’s battleship!

Pure immortal force brewed inside—an immortal weapon of war.

The Dao King had created weapons of war back in the day to defeat enemies; this one had been hidden in the Immortal Myriadpeak all along. It wasn’t from the Star Formula Academy. All the latter had done was to activate the weapon the moment they received the distress call. The cannon would’ve showed itself before long if the Qilong Sovereign King hadn’t remembered the Immortal Myriadpeak.

BOOM!

A pillar of white light erupted from the massive cannon mouth and blasted the black curtain. Violent ripples shook the curtain that could withstand the hell cannons; it crumbled away after three breaths.
