Chapter 2430 - 2431: The Defensive Power of the Sky-Sealing Array! (Second Update)

Chapter 2430: Chapter 2431: The Defensive Power of the Sky-Sealing Array! (Second Update)

Many people had completely overlooked the existence of the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation; no one expected that at this critical moment, this Heaven-Locking Grand Formation would once again safeguard Earth.

Previously, because of Ye Qiu, all the Heaven-tier powerhouses on the Ancestral Land had taken action, but when the Heaven-Locking Formation appeared, even those Heaven-tier beings had no way around it and could only temporarily give up.

Nobody expected that this time, also because of Ye Qiu, the opponent drawn over would be even stronger—a legendary race like the Gods.

Even so, the Heaven-Locking Formation still blocked the Gods’ attack.

The scene before their eyes made the expressions of those God Race soldiers flicker; clearly they had not expected that the combined strike they had unleashed would not only fail to destroy Earth, but would actually be stopped by a single grand formation.

The God Race man in the lead said nothing, but the God Race soldiers behind him knew what to do. They each stepped forward, and the power gathered this time was even stronger—ten times more ferocious than before.

A gigantic pillar of energy once again shot toward Earth.

Yet when this power collided with the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation, it once again fizzled out.

Whoosh...

Now, seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other, each with a barely suppressed urge to laugh. These were Gods, for heaven’s sake! Such a terrifying strike, and they still couldn’t do anything to the Heaven-Locking Formation?

This wasn’t how it was supposed to go.

It should have smashed through in an instant, obliterating Earth—that would make sense.

It wasn’t just the Martial Artists of the Ancestral Land or those from other life-bearing planets in the universe who didn’t understand; even the God Race soldiers who had attacked all wore looks of confusion. They were no ordinary beings; each one could easily annihilate Heaven-tier experts. With strength like this, in numbers over a thousand, and unleashing a joint strike, how could they possibly fail to forcibly destroy a single formation?

Yet the fact was right in front of them—they truly had not managed to break through this Formation.

The brows of the God Race man in the lead furrowed slightly; he was clearly a little angry.

This time, every God Race soldier’s expression turned extremely solemn. They would not allow themselves to fail again.

When they once again condensed that light pillar, everyone who saw this scene couldn’t help but open their mouths wide.

This is...

The scene in front of them was truly terrifying. It wasn’t just visually horrifying; the aura it emitted, even knowing it was only a projected image, still made everyone’s scalps tingle and their hands and feet turn cold.

That dreadful pillar of light shot straight through heaven and earth, a full several thousand meters thick. Its appearance caused the surrounding void to collapse, and it couldn’t even repair itself.

Seeing this spectacle, even the Dao Lord beings in the distance couldn’t help but shudder inwardly. If that light pillar were to fall upon them, even with Dao Lord-level strength, they would likely perish.

"This level of power is already comparable to a Supreme’s attack, isn’t it?" an old Dao Lord muttered.

"So terrifying... so this is the legendary God Race?" a Dao Lord-level powerhouse from another life-bearing planet also murmured to himself.

At this moment, those watching here included many Martial Artists from the Ancestral Land, beings from the Machine Race, and even people from Atlantis. As for Martial Artists from various continents and such, their silhouettes were present as well. After sensing how terrifying this light pillar was, all of them felt a chill in their hearts.

Their understanding of the God Race deepened further. No wonder they could become legends, become myth, and even call themselves Gods. With strength like this, they were indeed almost impossible to resist.

The colossal pillar of light, carrying the momentum to destroy heaven and earth and annihilate all things, surged toward Earth, toward the Heaven-Locking Formation.

Boom!

The tremendous energy exploded in an instant.

Countless people’s expressions tightened; they all hurriedly unleashed their own means to fend off the shockwaves of this energy.

Swish, swish, swish.

Some people retreated; others immediately raised energy shields. Only a few top powerhouses remained motionless, quite confident in their ability to withstand the damage from the aftermath.

Right now everyone’s focus was on whether the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation was still there. As long as it broke, Earth would most likely be destroyed.

What was the result?

Everyone stared ahead; on the Ancestral Land, billions upon billions of Martial Artists watched the image projected in the sky overhead.

As the exploded energy gradually faded away, the instant everyone saw that Earth still sat quietly within the universe, heaven and earth fell completely silent.

No one spoke.

The Heaven-Locking Grand Formation hadn’t broken, and Earth was completely unharmed!

Not long after, exclamations of shock rang out one after another as everyone discussed how freakishly overpowered this Heaven-Locking Grand Formation was. That last strike would have had no problem killing a Dao Lord, yet it still couldn’t break a single Formation. This Formation was just too defiant of the heavens; they had never seen such a powerful Formation. Even the Mountain Protection Arrays of the great sects weren’t this terrifying.

But they had no idea that the current Heaven-Locking Grand Formation had been reinforced by Ye Qiu, modified by him and infused with many additional layers of defensive power, making it this solid. His purpose was precisely to prevent some people from targeting Earth while he was away, so he had increased the Formation’s defensive power severalfold.

It was obvious that the effect was tremendous; even the joint strike of the God Race soldiers had had its might nullified.

Everyone was shocked at just how monstrously strong the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation was. To use such a powerful Formation to protect a tiny planet like Earth—the one who set it up must have valued Earth far too highly.

Seeing this scene, the God Race man in the lead could no longer bear to watch. He swept his gaze over the God Race soldiers; all of them lowered their heads, feeling ashamed.

At this point they had already given it their all yet still could not damage the Formation; they were truly powerless.

The God Race man’s every move tugged at everyone’s hearts. One didn’t need to think to know that this God Race man was anything but weak; otherwise, he wouldn’t be the one leading a host of God Race soldiers.

The God Race man’s expression was cold and emotionless. He stared at the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation and casually pushed out a light palm.

This palm didn’t seem to carry any power at all; compared to that earlier, awe-inspiring light pillar that looked capable of destroying heaven and earth, it was far inferior—practically worlds apart. Yet after the God Race man unleashed this strike, the eyes of the many God Race soldiers behind him shone with belief.

They believed that the power of this strike from the God Race man would definitely be able to break the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation.

A white palm imprint landed upon the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation.

The Heaven-Locking Grand Formation erupted with intense radiance; it trembled and shuddered, the very void quaking along with it.

It’s working!

People noticed that as that palm imprint continued to vibrate, the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation shook more and more violently.

Only when that palm imprint faded away did the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation finally quiet down.

The grand formation hadn’t broken, but everyone could sense that it had grown weaker; more precisely, its defensive power had been reduced.

Swish.

The God Race man struck out with another palm, identical to the last one. From the look of it, he seemed to be exerting no effort at all as it once again slammed into the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation.

Everyone who saw this could almost tell that as long as the God Race man continued to strike without pause, this Heaven-Locking Grand Formation would eventually break.

Just as this palm was about to land on the Heaven-Locking Grand Formation again, two figures suddenly appeared in front of it. One of them extended a hand and flicked that palm imprint apart.

The God Race man’s brows knit together as he stared coldly at the figures that had suddenly appeared.
