A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 316 - 276: Mutual Destruction

At the instant Lu Qian occupied the Pole Star Position, spiritual energy surged turbulently within the Seven-Star Grand Array, and starlight shifted.

Beichen dwells at its place, with the Seven Stars of the Dipper revolving around it. Regardless of the changing seasons or passing years, they always point towards Beichen, like ministers serving their lord, like the lower serving the higher.

When the lord of Beichen is absent, the Seven Stars of the Dipper can move freely and interchange, but once Beichen assumes the throne, the Dipper must return to its positions, unable to move as they wish.

In an instant, the starlight of the Dipper that formerly protected the star positions transformed from a shield into a tight restraint, forcibly dragging up the cultivators of Sanshan County who were moving chaotically within the array.

Under Yuchi Hui’s unwilling gaze and the panicked cries of the Sanshan County cultivators, not to mention three Foundation Establishment cultivators, two hundred Qi Cultivation elites, even the two ten-foot-long floating ships of Sanshan County were forcibly lifted by an immeasurable force and firmly pressed onto the seven-star positions.

Merak, Alioth, Phecda, Megrez, Dubhe, Mizar, Alkaid, the seven stars returned to their positions, and the Big Dipper once again ignited into the shape of a ladle, its mouth pointing firmly at the brilliantly shining Pole Star.

The lord of Beichen, Yunshan Sect Leader, Lu Qian!

Since he was borrowing the power of the stars, he had to follow the rules of the stars, even if Yuchi Hui ground his teeth, he was helpless.

Taking advantage of the star positions being dragged and pulled by stellar power, the Shuangye Alliance army charged forward at full speed!

The entire army moved into the Pole Star Position and rearranged their formation.

Guh Niqiang and Yang Jiye were the first to stand by Lu Qian’s side, while Pan Qin and Duu Yeming maneuvered two Divine Ships to flank and guard Lu Qian forwardly.

Confronting Lu Qian directly in front were two ordinary floating ships.

The Shuangye Alliance formation had just been adjusted, and the seven stars were all back in place. Yuchi Hui stared intently at the array, issuing order after order.

It’s still in time, the seven star positions just can’t move freely, severely limiting their attack range and position, but the star power shield over the seven star positions remains, and the starlight barrier enveloping the grand array is still in place, as long as Lu Qian hasn’t truly broken the array, he can’t harm me in the slightest.

Given the current star map positions, the attack path of the hundred Qi Cultivation elites at the Alioth position is blocked by the floating ship at the Dubhe position, almost rendering them ineffective, and the elites at the handle end of the Dipper at the Alkaid position are too far to attack as well.

Only the two floating ships at the Dubhe and Mizar positions, along with the three Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Phecda, Megrez, and Dubhe positions, can use long-range attacks to strike the enemy.

But when he looked towards Lu Qian again, he found Lu Qian already seated in the air, eyes closed in concentration, with the Golden Silk Jade Scroll Array Map in his hands glowing brightly, causing his heart to skip a beat.

Lu Qian is an array cultivator, and he is finding a way to break the array!

"Stop him!"

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Phecda, Megrez, and Dubhe positions immediately took action, several diverse spiritual artifacts illuminating like meteors, striking towards Lu Qian.

Guh Niqiang and Yang Jiye moved, flashing onto the ordinary floating ship directly in front of Lu Qian, releasing the Bing Fire Divine Crow, and the Purple Qi Celestial Net swiftly whirled, intercepting those spiritual artifacts.

Even though these attacks were augmented with the Dao patterns of the three Foundation Establishment cultivators at the Phecda, Megrez, and Dubhe positions, Guh Niqiang’s cultivation was formidable, unleashing fierce cyan flames with a wave of her palm, while Yang Jiye’s methods were remarkable, instantly teleporting spiritual artifacts, targeting the ones that slipped through.

Unable to break the Star Power Shield, can’t it stop this level of attack?

Yuchi Hui, infuriated, cursed at the incompetents, wishing he could personally leap into battle. But as soon as he had the thought, his spiritual power slightly stirred, causing the poisonous flame suppressed by the Qilin Stepping on the Moon Seal to churn again, leaving him feeling stifled.

Earlier, when dragged by the star power, the charging of the two Sanshan County floating ships’ spiritual power cannons was interrupted, now they needed a little more time to recharge.

The four floating ships of the Yunshan Sect had already finished recharging but were holding back, waiting.

At this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on Lu Qian.

Could Lu Qian at the Pole Star Position successfully break the array?

In the center of the storm, Lu Qian remained utterly composed, burning Spirit Crystals for energy, extending the Five Elements Grand Array overlapping with the Big Dipper Grand Array, his Divine Sense spreading like a tide, sweeping across the array like a mirror or lake.

He once again deployed the Mirror Lake Secret Technique from the Wave Array Secret Manual, using an array to break an array.

Having accumulated successful experience from previously breaking the array at Ziluo Mountain, employing this technique again now was naturally well-practiced.

Within the Seven-Star Grand Array, rushing spiritual energies gathered, and grandiose star forces descended from the firmament, dazzlingly bright. All of the threads were mapped out in his mind, shimmering like bands of light.

Among the entangled spiritual power belts and star forces, seven central nodes were shining, places where power converged.

The seven critical nodes of the Seven-Star Grand Array had been found!

At this moment, the two Sanshan County floating ships at the Dubhe and Mizar positions finished charging and fired fiercely!

Dozens of spiritual power cannons roared forth, while the two ordinary floating ships of the Yunshan Sect stood silently like walls, steadfastly shielding Lu Qian.

Guh Niqiang, Yang Jiye, Pan Qin, and Duu Yeming, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators, flew into action, employing various techniques to intercept many of the spiritual light beams.

Even so, the remaining beams struck the two ordinary floating ships, causing significant damage.

The ships, already heavily damaged, were now shaking with the sound of continuous cannon fire, decks cracking, masts breaking, the hull extending with holes. Inside, the cultivators operating the floating ships lay dead and wounded, and the two ships were teetering on the brink, with fractures already on their keels.

One more round of bombardment, it was estimated, would completely destroy them.

Amidst the great anxiety of the Shuangye Alliance, Lu Qian gently swiped his hand across the Golden Silk Jade Scroll Array Map.

Dao Patterns, Five Elements!

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth — white, green, black, red, yellow — Five Elements Spiritual Qi surged turbulently, pouring chaotically into the seven nodes!

Moreover, the Five Elements Spiritual Qi was continuously rotating and transforming, mutually generating and overcoming.

Within the seven nodes, the previously tranquil spiritual energy and star force suddenly fell into chaos, colliding violently!

Every cultivator in Lingsha City heard a series of deep rumbles.

Under the grand star force’s embrace, the seven nodes didn’t explode, but in an instant became riddled with holes, with various spiritual forces tearing outward. The seven grand array nodes twisted and collapsed!

The brilliance of the Seven Stars Beidou Formation flickered one last time, and the next moment, the array was broken, the array realm dissipating, with all cultivators and floating ships within exposed to the cool night sky.

The Seven Stars Beidou Formation was defeated!

The star power shields covering the seven star positions abruptly vanished, and Lu Qian opened his eyes, shouting: "Open fire!"

The four Yunshan Sect floating ships that had endured till now erupted in retaliatory flames!

Amid the deafening sounds of cannon fire, hundreds of spiritual light beams struck the two Sanshan County floating ships.

The intense sounds of explosions and rupture mingled, flames soaring, large chunks of wood and metal components falling down.

The two enemy floating ships were severely damaged in an instant!
