Eternal Cultivation of Alchemy - Chapter 1777

Chapter 1777 Sword Array

"He's getting stronger," Hannah messaged Alex directly using her Spiritual sense. "What do we do?"

Alex felt the sudden burst of Immortal Qi from the Emperor and teleported next to his sister, who quickly formed a water shield to protect the two of them.

He was protected from the might and the shockwave of the Immortal attack, something that was starting to look mundane the more he saw it being used.

It was still dangerous, but it simply didn't feel as grand anymore.

He looked far away where the group of nearly 500 strong soldiers had formed the Dragon Array for the Dragon Emperor.

"They keep adding to their numbers," Alex replied to Hannah. "Even though the teleportation formation is gone, more fighters are joining. The number is low for now, but something needs to change soon or we will lose."

Hannah's dark sword burned with bright firelight, as she gracefully swung her sword around. Bright flower petals blew out from her sword, twisting in the wind as though spinning in a horizontal spiral as they moved toward the Dragon Emperor.

When they reached the Dragon Emperor, they burst on his shield, causing multiple small, but strong bombardments that he had to protect himself from.

"The only good thing about the array seems to be that they can't improve the power of our Immortal Qi," Hannah said. "If his Immortal Qi had somehow gotten stronger, then I would've been in trouble right now."

Alex nodded. He was not yet sure if the lack of improvement to the Immortal Qi came from neither of them actually being in the Immortal realm, or if it was because the world they lived in did not allow for an Immortal to exist without hiding himself.

It could also have nothing to do with either of those and just be a flaw of the array where the cultivation base could not be improved beyond what the majority of the individuals had in the array.

"Should we go attack them then?" Hannah asked Alex.

"No," Alex said. "Their defense will be strong. And we can't afford to divert our attention anywhere except for him. Either we both leave, or neither of us do."Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Zhou Linfan was still being tied down far away, unable to come to help them.

Alex felt more and more powerful individuals enter his spiritual sense, meaning more and more soldiers were coming to help them.

The Dragon Emperor watched the hundred-plus swords fly in front of Alex, each gleaming with a Sword Aura of the strongest variety he had ever seen.

He frowned a little but welcomed the attack.

The swords spun around, blazing with Qi and aura, and flew directly toward the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor put up his shield and activated a golden barrier. The sword crashed into the shield, and the Dragon Emperor realized just how mistaken he was about the force behind the attack.

The barrier shook for a second, rippling as though ready to break. The Dragon Emperor instantly poured in some Immortal Qi to shield and barely stopped the attack from destroying it.

Even with the Immortal Qi, the Dragon Emperor could tell just how strong the attack had been, and it didn't look like it was stopping.

The sword array spun on top of the shield, drilling into the barrier that now held quite easily. However, having to constantly put up Immortal Qi to stop the sword wasn't something the Emperor wanted.

At the same time, Hannah moved to the side and started sending out a barrage of Ice spears at the Emperor again.

The Dragon Emperor moved his spear at once, empowering it with light lightning, and sent out an attack where the lightning bolt forked into dozens of different smaller lightning bolts, each one of which destroyed the many icicles while moving for Hannah.

Alex poured his intent into the attack and put some more power into the spinning swords while adding his Spiritual energy to the attack more and more.

The Dragon Emperor didn't notice it at first, but slowly he could feel his head start to grow somewhat cloudy, and his reflexes becoming slightly slower.

He instantly employed the Dao of Space Expansion to increase the distance between him and the attack and used the opportunity to escape.

"Swarm them!" he ordered at the same time and many of the free soldiers came for Alex and Hannah.

Alex and Hannah started fighting the new soldiers and quickly realized it was going to take a lot to go through these soldiers easily.

At that very moment, a long and loud ringing sound echoed throughout the battlefield, causing many of the people to look at what was making the sound.

"That..." one of the soldiers slowly spoke. "Is that the Newsboard?"
