Chapter 178 Collapse of the Primordial Unity Grand Formation Barrier
```
The space of the Three Realms was reconstructed by the Hong Jun Daoist Ancestor using supreme magical power after the heaven-opening epoch. Only the strength of a Heavenly Dao Saint could cause irreversible damage to the space of the Three Realms.
That is why the Daoist Ancestor decreed that Heavenly Dao Saints should not meddle in the conflicts of the Three Realms lightly, otherwise, Heavenly Dao would descend divine thunder as punishment to strike them down from their saintly position.
The collision between the Bull Demon King and Ran Deng Buddha earlier reached the destructive power of a half-step Saint, causing a spatial black hole. However, the space of the Three Realms has its own stability, and as long as it is not at the level of a Heavenly Dao Saint, the damage could self-repair; it just requires a bit of time.
Leng Xuan was very clear about this; what they needed to do now was to hold out during this period!
"Bull big brother, you forcefully used your origin power, and your injuries are not light. Quickly take an elixir pill and go to the Heaven-Piercing Tower to heal with Six-Eared, and leave the rest to me! As long as I, Leng Xuan, still draw breath, I will definitely protect Flower-Fruit Mountain for the boss!"
The situation of the Bull Demon King was even worse than Guanyin Bodhisattva and the others had expected. The backlash to his body after erupting with the destructive force of a half-step Saint in an instant using his true form as the Earth-Shaking Divine Bull was immense.
Had the Bull Demon King not been cultivating the Human Race's number one body refining technique, the Eight-Nine Profound Skill, other members of the Demon Clan would have disintegrated to dust as soon as the attack was launched.
The Bull Demon King didn't decline, nodded his head, and, mustering his strength, flew towards the Water Curtain Cave Heaven. Given his current condition, staying behind was not of much use; it would be better to go to the Heaven-Piercing Tower to heal like the Six-Eared Macaque, perhaps retaining a bit of strength for self-preservation.
"Hold on, the spatial black hole is already weakening and will soon disappear!"
Leng Xuan had been carefully observing the condition of the spatial black hole. The force of the black hole seemed to have reached its peak, violently distorting the barrier of the Primordial Unity Grand Formation with constant sizzling sounds, as if it was about to shatter at any moment. But there's a saying: what rises to its limit is bound to decline.
Now that it had reached its peak, it should weaken rapidly. Stay tuned for updates on My Virtual Library Empire
Indeed, after getting through the most difficult moment, the power of the spatial black hole quickly began to fade, retracting back to its origin. Leng Xuan breathed a huge sigh of relief, but his nerves immediately tensed up again, knowing that with the disappearance of the spatial black hole, Ran Deng Buddha and the others would soon continue their assault on Flower-Fruit Mountain!
Heavenly Court, within the Supreme Pure Heaven's Greenwave Palace.
"This Flower-Fruit Mountain really is full of exceptional talents. Apart from that monkey Sun Wukong, this Six-Eared Macaque and Bull Demon King also have extraordinary talent! Good, very good! Hmm, this little fox from the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Tribe is not bad either, her mastery of formations is already quite profound!"
Leader of Tongtian, clad in a white robe, was leaning casually on the lotus throne at the main seat of the grand hall. Not far in front of him floated a water mirror, which clearly showed the battle scene at Flower-Fruit Mountain.
However, unlike ordinary Water Mirror Techniques, the water mirror conjured by Leader of Tongtian was not affected by the energies from the battle at all, revealing everything in detail.
"Hmm?"
All of a sudden, Leader of Tongtian's expression changed dramatically as he waved his hand, and another water mirror appeared, showing the scene of Sun Wukong emerging from the spatial vortex entrance and exit at the Heavenly Dragon Valley.
Leader of Tongtian had specifically left a mark of his Divine Sense on Sun Wukong when he saved him last time, so he could sense Sun Wukong's situation at any time for tracking purposes.
Heavenly Dao Saints could calculate all things under the heavens, and usually, no such measures would be required. But Sun Wukong was different; Leader of Tongtian was completely unable to calculate Sun Wukong's situation through the Heavenly Dao and, finding him quite interesting, had no choice but to do this.
"This monkey sure has a fiery temper, not giving the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas any face at all!"
Watching the scene in the water mirror where Sun Wukong was grabbing the neck of the Western Sea Dragon King's Great Prince, Ao Mo'ang, to demand information, Leader of Tongtian couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
Then with a thought, his gaze withdrew from the water mirror, and he looked up towards the Sword Pool, a smile forming in his eyes, "Luo Bai, this lad, has finally made a breakthrough? It's just in time indeed!"
Whoosh!
As Leader of Tongtian's voice faded, a streak of sword light soared out from the Sword Pool, shooting towards the grand hall, materializing into a human form underneath Leader of Tongtian's lotus throne – it was Luo Bai.
At this moment, Luo Bai, although outwardly unchanged from before, had undergone a complete transformation in temperament. If the past Luo Bai was an unsheathed sharp sword radiating a fierce aura, then Luo Bai, who had broken through to the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm, was like a divine sword sheathed in its scabbard—ostensibly unremarkable at first glance.
However, upon closer observation, one could sense the astonishing sword intent hidden within his seemingly inconspicuous body.
The Purple Lightning Blue Glint Sword was carried on Luo Bai's back, not stored within him, yet not a whisper of sword qi leaked from the blade, clearly indicating that this divine sword had completely merged with Luo Bai. He could perfectly control it, containing all the sword qi within the blade, poised for the moment it was drawn to release its breathtaking edge!
"Master, your disciple has broken through to the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm. Can I now…"
```
"Go now! Wukong has already come out from the territory of the Heavenly Dragon Clan and should be heading to Flower-Fruit Mountain very soon. If you set out now, you can get there before him and lend a hand to Flower-Fruit Mountain!"
As soon as Luo Bai began to speak, the Leader of Tongtian guessed what he was about to ask and raised his hand to interrupt him.
"What's happened to Flower-Fruit Mountain?"
Luo Bai looked utterly confused; he had been cultivating and trying to break through his bottleneck in the Sword Pool, completely unaware of what had happened to Flower-Fruit Mountain. Now, hearing the Leader of Tongtian's words, he felt completely befuddled.
Without elaborating, the Leader of Tongtian simply extended a finger and pointed at Luo Bai, sending a speck of silver light from his fingertip that flew into Luo Bai's brow. Suddenly, Luo Bai understood the situation's cause and effect, and his expression darkened instantly.
"Master, your disciple will take his leave now!"
After a hasty bow to the Leader of Tongtian, Luo Bai stood up and transformed into a beam of sword light, shooting out from Greenwave Palace and heading toward the Heavenly Ladder. Flower-Fruit Mountain was facing a great catastrophe, and he needed to go there to help. Before his brother Wukong could return to Flower-Fruit Mountain, he absolutely had to prevent it from being breached!
Now a Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm Sword Immortal, Luo Bai's sword flight was even faster than the Somersault Cloud, only slightly slower than Wukong's Streaming Light Escape. He zipped through the Heavenly Court and headed straight for Flower-Fruit Mountain in Aolai Kingdom in the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent.
At this time, Sun Wukong was delayed by Mosquito Daoist, which allowed Luo Bai to arrive at Flower-Fruit Mountain when the spatial black hole in its territory had just dissipated.
Sun Wukong was still entangled with Mosquito Daoist, while Ran Deng Ancient Buddha and the Heavenly Army, as Leng Xuan had predicted, immediately launched an attack on Flower-Fruit Mountain the moment the black hole vanished.
The sky filled with attacks bombarded the barrier of the Primordial Unity Grand Formation, causing it to violently tremble. With over fifty thousand remaining, the assault on Flower-Fruit Mountain at this point had almost halved the Heavenly Army's numbers. Those who survived were either lucky or strong, but all without exception harbored deep hatred for Flower-Fruit Mountain.
Their attacks were thus relentless and without mercy.
On the Buddhist side, Ran Deng Buddha entered the fray himself, wielding the Qiankun Ruler to launch ferocious attacks on the Primordial Unity Grand Formation. His power exceeded that of the combined force of over fifty thousand Heavenly Soldiers, making the barrier shake with each strike, its light fading as if it would collapse at any moment.
Guanyin Bodhisattva sought out Nezha again, not attacking actively but preventing him from aiding Flower-Fruit Mountain, while Erlang God Yang Jian stood by Nezha's side, neither helping nor hindering—appearing as if he were just a spectator rather than one sent by the Jade Emperor to support the Heavenly Army.
However, at such a time, intensifying the attack on Flower-Fruit Mountain's barrier was the proper course, and so no one paid any mind to Erlang God Yang Jian.
As for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, previously injured by Nezha, was unable to recover in such a short period and could only float on a cloud, watching the scene unfold, waiting for Flower-Fruit Mountain to be breached.
The trembling of the Primordial Unity Grand Formation's barrier grew more and more violent, with its brilliance flickering unstably—it had reached its limit. Even with the support of Flower-Fruit Mountain's spiritual energy from the earth veins, the Primordial Unity Grand Formation still had limits.
The Heavenly Army's relentless assault, especially with Ran Deng Buddha's attacks, had overwhelmed the barrier's defensive capacity, and it was about to fail!
Crack!
A faint, crisp sound rang out amidst the roaring noises, piercingly clear and sharp. The expressions of Leng Xuan and the others darkened instantly, for the barrier of the Primordial Unity Grand Formation was breaking!
"Everyone, retreat inside Flower-Fruit Mountain!"
With the barrier being indefensible and continued defense only leading to more casualties, Leng Xuan gritted his teeth and unleashed the last bit of power from the Primordial Unity Grand Formation to temporarily withstand the external blows. He ordered the Demon Clan of Flower-Fruit Mountain to retreat.
Otherwise, the moment the barrier was shattered, all demons channeling energy into it would suffer a massive backlash.
All the demons of Flower-Fruit Mountain wore looks of unwillingness on their faces, but they could only obey the order to stop and retreat into the interior. With the barrier breached, the entire Flower-Fruit Mountain was exposed to the fangs of the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect.
They had no choice but to fall back and rely on the formations set up by Sun Wukong and Leng Xuan on the land to engage in street battles with the Heavenly Army.
"The barrier is breached! Charge in and completely eradicate these demons!"
"Kill! Leave none alive!"
"Let these demons understand what the might of Heaven is! Attack!"
Finally, the barrier of Flower-Fruit Mountain's Primordial Unity Grand Formation was broken. The Heavenly Soldiers yelled like mad, storming into Flower-Fruit Mountain.
