# Chapter 2394: United Efforts
"All of them are at the Saint Realm. Although they aren't living beings, they must possess Saint Realm abilities. The entire ground is covered with them. How are we supposed to charge through?" Mu Kui's expression was grim. When they had been flying in the distance earlier, they discovered that this entire star was densely packed with powerful beings. Every few steps, there would be one. If they were surrounded and attacked by them, it would mean certain death.
"We managed to accumulate quite a bit of merit, so we were among the first to enter. But in the end, we're only Half-step Saints. Our combat power is limited. The airspace here is sealed, so we can't fly. It's very easy to get trapped in their encirclement. Once we're trapped, how can we break through?"
"This trial is too difficult. And this is only the first trial."
Difficult. Because this was a trial set by a god. How could it not be difficult?
"Everyone, summon your Sacred King weapons. Senior Demon Bull didn't say we couldn't use Sacred King weapons, which clearly means he knew how terrifying the difficulty of our trial would be. There's only one way for us to pass: kill all the way through, unimpeded, without stopping for even a moment. We have to keep killing until we reach the end of this star." Lin Feng spoke up. The others nodded slightly and summoned their Sacred King weapons. They knew Lin Feng was right. To get through, they had to kill all the way, without stopping until they reached the other side. Only then was it possible.
But killing all the way through without taking a single breath... just imagining that kind of difficulty made one's whole body go numb. It was too hard. Harder than reaching the heavens.
"There's no other choice. Everyone, gather together. Form a battle formation and kill our way through. With so many of us, we can split into several formations and take turns resting. Now, everyone state what they're good at: offense or defense." Mu Kui stepped forward. At this moment, they had to work together. If they charged in alone, it would be certain death. Only by joining forces would they have a chance.
"Let me start with myself. I cultivate the Wood element's fundamental power. I'm good at trapping enemies and can assist well in battle." Mu Kui spoke first.
"I'm skilled in illusion techniques. But since we need to break through, illusion techniques will probably be very limited."
"The main fundamental power I cultivate is the Water of the Five Elements. My defense is strong. People of the same realm will find it very hard to break through my Water Prison defense."
Everyone stated their abilities one by one. They were setting aside all differences for now and temporarily joining forces. They had to survive this calamity first.
"I'm strong in both offense and defense. I can take the lead in attacking." Ju Shenyan voluntarily took on the attack role. "But we can't keep fighting forever, so we'll need to rotate."
"Alright. I've comprehended the power of Fast and Slow. I can assist everyone in battle." Lin Feng also spoke up.
Everyone stated their abilities. Mu Kui looked at the crowd and said, "We have a total of forty-two experts. Let's split into two teams. One team of twenty-one people. When we advance, the first team will handle the forward mission. The second team will rest and provide light support. We'll rotate every day. The next day, the other team will take over the main offense and defense, while the others rest. If someone dies or loses combat effectiveness, they'll be replaced immediately."
"Alright. That's feasible."
"With a team of twenty-one, ten will attack in the front, eight will defend in the back, and three will provide support. Among the three support members, one should be good at control—like me. One should be able to influence the battle's left and right flanks—Mu Feng can take that role. And one should be good at rescue, with powerful life-type techniques. However, we only have one such person." Mu Kui said.
"I'm also skilled in life power. I can serve as one." Lin Feng said.
"That's great. I didn't expect you, Mu Feng, to be good at both Fast and Slow power and life power. That way, you can count as two people. We'll save one person, who can be added to the attack team. Now let's divide up." Mu Kui was likely a high-ranking figure in his own faction. His command was orderly and efficient. Soon, the teams were divided and fairly balanced.
All of this happened in a very short time. The crowd was split into Formation One and Formation Two. First, Formation One would handle the offense and defense mission, while Formation Two rested.
"Alright. Everyone, get on Nie Wang's Sacred King weapon warship. The members of Formation Two will rest in the ship's resting chamber, but don't relax too much. Be ready to take over at any time. Formation One, prepare to charge." Mu Kui led everyone. In this situation, having too many people would only cause chaos. So having one person in command was best. Moreover, Mu Kui himself was skilled in control power. He placed himself in Formation One, along with Lin Feng, to be in the middle of the warship, commanding and controlling the battlefield.
"Set out!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Everyone's expressions were solemn. The warship roared forward, charging into the star. Since they couldn't fly, the warship skimmed the ground. But its speed was still terrifying, like a beam of light, shuttling forward rapidly.
"We're getting close. This killing intent... it's strong." Everyone could feel the shocking killing intent. It was terrifying. Ahead, there were several figures.
"Attack!"
The first to strike was Ju Shenyan. His large hand reached out, stars gathered, light shone brilliantly, and he directly crushed a figure to pieces. At the same time, the attacks of the experts behind him all erupted, sweeping everything clean.
"Impressive. With so many Sacred King-level figures attacking at once, the offensive power is indeed strong." Lin Feng thought to himself. But the puppet figures ahead all turned to look in their direction, releasing powerful killing intent.
"Roar!" A terrifying soundwave came through the Dao, shaking everyone's eardrums continuously. Even their divine souls trembled slightly.
"Whoosh!" Several dozen blood-colored long spears shot toward them like lightning. A group of Sacred King-level puppet figures rushed forward from the front, just like real people. No one knew how they existed, but they were terrifying.
"Slow!" Lin Feng's mind moved slightly, and instantly, those blood-colored long spears slowed down. Arrows shot through the air, directly striking the spears and making them fall. It was one of their side's powerful Sacred King-level archers. His divine arrows could communicate with heaven and earth, capable of shooting down beings from millions of miles away. But he didn't dare act recklessly, worried that he might attract all the puppets here to intercept them. That would be disastrous. For now, they were just killing forward. The figures ahead didn't know about them yet, which was manageable. But once they did and all attacked them, it would be very tragic.
They killed as they advanced. The speed was very fast. In an instant, they killed those in front and left those behind. It was extremely intense.
"So far, we haven't encountered any real threats. I hope it stays this way." Mu Kui said.
"It won't be that simple. We just gathered, and our momentum is strong. With a single burst of energy, we can achieve this level. But who knows how vast this star is or how long it will take to cross it? This is a war of attrition." Lin Feng said. Mu Kui nodded. "Brother is right. It is indeed a difficult war of attrition. For now, there's no danger yet."
"Fortunately, we've united as one. If it were just one person or a few people charging in, it would be too terrifying." Nie Wang looked at the endless stream of powerful beings. They couldn't kill them all. Because Lin Feng was there, they had one extra person. So Mu Kui decided that Nie Wang wouldn't participate in the battle. He would focus entirely on piloting the Sacred King weapon warship, taking paths with fewer enemies, deliberately avoiding encirclements.
"Even so, this kind of consumption... no matter how strong someone is, they can't endure it for too long." Lin Feng said softly. That was why the people responsible for attacking had to keep rotating their attacks. The drain on their mind and energy was absolutely terrifying.
"So we rotate once a day to maintain sustained combat power." Mu Kui said. "Yu Lin uses nine giant blades at the same time. Each blade is more terrifying than the last. Even facing a Half-step Saint alone, it would be hard for them to block his crazy killing attacks."
"He is indeed formidable." Lin Feng nodded. Yu Lin was a middle-aged man who used nine blades. His combat power was very strong.
The warship advanced all the way, breaking through everything. It went smoothly, but the members of Formation One were also very tired.
"There are many powerful beings ahead. Should we take a detour?" Nie Wang asked.
"Kill through. There are only a few directly ahead." Someone replied.
"Alright." Nie Wang nodded. But just then, a rumbling, terrifying sound came. The earth suddenly churned. Heaven and earth turned upside down. The entire ground seemed to be flipped over.
"Someone skilled in Earth power. Be careful!"
Yu Lin's nine blades slashed out simultaneously. A rumbling, terrifying sound rang out. The stone walls that had risen up ahead were directly shattered. Dust and smoke billowed. The warship charged through instantly. But behind them, more stone walls blocked the way.
"Attack!" The experts on the battlefield who were good at breaking through all launched frenzied attacks. Above, a giant palm print came crashing down.
"Slow!" Lin Feng spat out a single word. Immediately, an arrow shot out. With a booming explosion, the void seal shattered. It was Liao Feng's Sacred King weapon bow.
In the distance, the Sacred King-level puppet figures on the ground rushed over frantically, making Mu Kui's heart pound.
"Fast, fast! We can't get bogged down!" Mu Kui shouted. At the same time, endless vines grew wildly from his body, covering the sky and the sun, binding toward the enemy.
"Not good! The warship is being flipped!" Just then, everyone felt their bodies about to turn over. Nie Wang couldn't control it. He felt a terrifying force from below.
"Thump! Thump!" Someone was frantically attacking the Sacred King weapon warship. But this warship was a mid-grade Sacred King weapon. Breaking it wasn't easy. However, the people on the warship were thrown off.
Above the void, a blood-colored giant hand reached down, heading straight for Lin Feng's position.
"This is bad. We're going to be trapped." Lin Feng's gaze contracted. Here, they absolutely couldn't get trapped.
"Imprison!" Lin Feng's pupils turned pitch black. Instantly, the figure above was trapped in a dark illusion. Then Lin Feng charged forward. Everything was in chaos now. They had to finish the battle quickly.
The Great Desolate Demon Halberd appeared in Lin Feng's hand. He stabbed fiercely at the stone wall in front, as fast as lightning. With a tearing sound, the stone wall exploded. On the other side, the Great Desolate Demon Halberd was stuck in someone's head.
"Maintain the formation!" Mu Kui was very anxious. His body had three heads and six arms, all made of towering ancient trees, wrapping around those puppets to clear the battlefield.
"Get on quickly!" Nie Wang shouted. He regained control of the warship and charged forward. Everyone jumped onto the warship one by one. Lin Feng's Great Desolate Demon Halberd swept everything before it. Then he leaped backward, landing on the warship. His pitch-black eyes swept over the figures ahead. Illusion, illusion! He unleashed his illusion techniques to the extreme, carving out a path.
"Whoosh!" The warship's speed was extremely fast. In an instant, it broke through a path.
"Wait for me!" A furious roar came from behind. One person was still trapped and hadn't made it onto the warship.
"Go! We can't wait!" Several people shouted coldly at the same time. Nie Wang felt a tremendous pressure, but he had no choice but to abandon him.
That person watched the warship disappear into the distance while he was overwhelmed by the powerful Saint Realm puppets. A look of despair appeared in his eyes. Being left behind meant certain death!
