It would be arduous to break this formidable formation, even with a peak Golden Core stage cultivator exerting their full power. Nascent Soul cultivators could maintain their attacks for a while, but not indefinitely. The formation masters of the Flying Immortal Sect, however, were somewhat lacking in expertise. Without centuries of continuous improvement, this protective sect formation might have been swiftly overwhelmed, even by peak Golden Core stage cultivators.

This purely defensive formation could have been highly effective, given more time for refinement. However, the proficiency of the formation masters had its limitations, and regardless of the enhancements, it remained insufficient against Nascent Soul cultivators. Surprisingly, the enigmatic Saintess of the Flying Immortal Sect remained in hiding, allowing her disciples to endure the relentless bombardment of the formation.

“There are many followers with the Saintess of the Silent Moon. It may not be realistic to expect her to deal with the formation. Master, I suggest I go out first to lure her,” Li Su proposed from within the Flying Immortal Sect after the demonic cultivators had been assaulting the formation for some time. Li Su secretly hoped the Saintess of the Silent Moon would attack the protective formation. In recent days, he has dedicated time to improve and fortify the formation to the best of his abilities.

Nevertheless, the foundation of this formation remained its weakness. No matter how much he strengthened it, it couldn’t rival a completely reconstructed formation, a task that would take years to achieve. A luxury Li Su didn’t possess.

If the Saintess of the Silent Moon were to intervene, the protective formation would inevitably crumble under her assault. However, it would also deplete a significant portion of her power. Most importantly, it would reveal her true strength to Li Su and the Sect Master. Yet, she remained astute, refraining from launching an attack. Among the demonic cultivators in her company, six were at the Golden Core stage, with the strongest likely at the peak. The power of the Demon Palace overshadowed that of the three major immortal sects combined by a substantial margin. These six Golden Core stage demonic cultivators and numerous Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were causing considerable strain on the protective formation through their relentless assaults. If this continued, the formation would eventually crumble. Therefore, it was highly improbable that the Saintess of the Silent Moon would personally engage in the formation.

The radiance of the Flying Immortal Sword filled the sky, turning it into a sea of flowing light as it unleashed relentless attacks. The peak Golden Core stage cultivator was overwhelmed and struggling to hold his ground. Not only was Li Su remarkably strong, but his Flying Immortal Sword was also a top-grade spiritual weapon typically wielded by Nascent Soul cultivators. The peak cultivator was finding it increasingly challenging to maintain his position.

“Quick, come and assist me!” Two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators rushed to aid their comrade. They launched a coordinated assault against Li Su but soon found themselves shocked. Li Su’s Green Cloud Mirror transformed into a circular light barrier, effectively shielding him from all their attacks, no matter how cunning or relentless. They couldn’t break through the formidable defense of the Green Cloud Mirror.

“Elder Li is incredibly powerful!” Voices of astonishment resounded within the Flying Immortal Sect as many disciples watched the battle outside. Li Su was not only holding his own against a Golden Core stage peak cultivator but was also managing to withstand the onslaught of two Golden Core stage demonic cultivators. In a one-on-three situation, Li Su was on the verge of making the Golden Core peak cultivator falter. Despite the peak cultivator’s array of treasures and secret techniques, he struggled to withstand Li Su’s attacks, especially the might of the top-grade Flying Immortal Sword.

Elder Huang and the other three Golden Core stage elders were forced into a defensive stance against three Golden Core stage demonic cultivators. One of these cultivators was even mightier than Elder Huang himself. These Demon Palace cultivators possessed magical treasures that suited their abilities perfectly, and their demonic techniques were potent. Given these circumstances, the four Flying Immortal Sect elders were already accomplishing a feat by holding their ground.

In the skies above the Flying Immortal Sect, the Sect Master observed the battle. Li Su’s strength did not surpass her expectations, as she knew he was a first-grade Golden Core cultivator equipped with a set of top-grade spiritual weapons and an exceptional defensive artifact. This defensive artifact could rival those used by Nascent Soul cultivators in the middle or later stages. Although a Golden Core cultivator couldn’t fully unleash its potential, since Li Su had personally crafted the artifact, he could extract even more power from it.

With a swift sound of air breaking, one of the Flying Immortal Swords had already pierced through the peak Golden Core stage demonic cultivator. “How can this be!” The peak Golden Core stage cultivator’s face turned pale, utterly bewildered by Li Su’s sudden breakthrough. He had just managed to hold his ground, but now, he couldn’t resist.
