In an instant, a thin membrane enveloped the warship. Though it looked fragile enough to break at a touch, the ice beasts could not shred its defenses no matter how fiercely they attacked. However, under the relentless gnawing of countless ice beasts, the membrane's glow was fading at a rapid pace.
Even ants could bring down an elephant. The warship might be of extraordinary grade, but it could not withstand the onslaught of so many ice beasts forever. Sooner or later, it would be destroyed.
Just then, more than a dozen pillars of pure white light suddenly shot out from somewhere within the warship, blasting toward a specific position.
Concerned for the warship's survival, Yang Kai wasted no time, continuously directing the disciples to adjust their aim.
More than a dozen pillars of light fired simultaneously. The sight was absolutely breathtaking.
In just ten breaths, the second Formation Eye was destroyed.
After another short while, the third Formation Eye fell as well!
The Myriad Cold Spirit-Sealing Formation that had been shrouding the inner city instantly ceased to function. The ice beasts, condensed from pure frigid energy, dissolved into motes of luminous light and vanished without a trace.
The crisis was resolved just like that — effortlessly.
But every single person was drenched in cold sweat.
A gust of wind swept in, scattering the dense cold energy. Without the frigid energy pouring in from the three Formation Eyes, the Myriad Cold Spirit-Sealing Formation was rendered useless. The entire inner city of the War Heaven Alliance gradually came into clear view, fully exposed before the eyes of the Lingxiao Sect.
"Ha! Old bastard Qu Zheng must be so furious he's coughing up blood!" Fei Zhi Tu laughed heartily. Back in the Emperor Fall Mountains, he had already steeled himself for death. Although Yang Kai had saved him afterward, his strength had dropped a minor tier as a result. His hatred for the War Heaven Alliance and the Thunder Terrace Sect ran bone deep.
Now, seeing that even the Myriad Cold Spirit-Sealing Formation could not do a thing against the Lingxiao Sect's warship, he naturally felt immensely gratified.
Qu Zheng was indeed beside himself with rage.
He never could have imagined that the formation the War Heaven Alliance had been so proud of would be broken apart so bewilderingly, without serving any purpose whatsoever.
Up to this point in the battle, the enemy had not even shown their faces. They simply stayed hidden inside the warship and used the crystal cannons to beat an entire Sect into utter helplessness.
Qu Zheng had never felt so powerless in his life.
"Engage the enemy! Spare no cost — even if you have to throw your lives away, destroy that warship!" Qu Zheng's furious roar pierced straight through the heavens.
With the formation gone, the War Heaven Alliance had no choice but to attack head-on. They could only rely on overwhelming numbers.
As long as the Lingxiao Sect lost that warship, the War Heaven Alliance could still turn the tide!
The order was relayed, and innumerable warriors charged out from their hiding spots, surging toward the warship with fierce determination.
To everyone's surprise, by the time the crowd had closed to within a hundred zhang of the warship, the jet-black vessel remained perfectly still, allowing the War Heaven Alliance warriors to surround it without so much as a twitch.
A sea of heads — several thousand at the very least — and every last one among them possessed strength no lower than the Saint Realm. This accounted for roughly eighty percent of the War Heaven Alliance's usable fighting force. The remaining warriors were simply too weak to play any meaningful role in a battle of this magnitude.
Surrounded by several thousand warriors, the warship looked like a ship lost at sea, adrift in a boundless ocean with no direction and no light in sight.
The War Heaven Alliance warriors cracked their knuckles and glared like tigers eyeing their prey.
The next moment, a brilliant five-colored radiance bloomed across the hull. The once jet-black warship was suddenly painted in vibrant hues, becoming dazzlingly colorful.
The five-colored glow instantly blanketed an area of a thousand zhang in every direction, and a profound, mysterious aura surged into the minds of every person present.
In an instant, quite a few warriors of lesser strength found their bodies rigid and their Saint Source power unresponsive. Screaming, they tumbled from the sky, as if both their bodies and their Saint Source were being restrained by some invisible force.
Even those slightly stronger, capable of resisting the binding effect, could not help but feel a wave of primal dread wash over their souls.
"The Glazed Divine Light! Impossible — that's actually the Glazed Divine Light!" A knowledgeable warrior screamed in horror on the spot.
As warriors of the Dark Star, they had all heard of the Glazed Divine Light.
But this technique was something only the Glazed Gate could cultivate, and across all of history, only one or two individuals at most had ever mastered it.
Now the Glazed Divine Light was blooming from the Lingxiao Sect's warship. From what they could see, the entire vessel appeared to have been forged from Phantasmo-Glazed Glass, its Glazed Divine Light unleashed in full!
Qian Tong and Fei Zhi Tu were also stunned, completely unable to fathom what was going on.
"Yang Kai, is that truly the Glazed Divine Light?" Qian Tong asked with a strange expression.
It was no wonder he couldn't believe it. The Glazed Gate guarded Phantasmo-Glazed Glass Mountain with extreme vigilance and had never allowed outsiders near. Even members of their own Sect lacked the qualifications to approach it if their strength was insufficient.
Where had Yang Kai gotten his hands on Phantasmo-Glazed Glass?
And to cover an entire warship with it — just how much Phantasmo-Glazed Glass would that require?
"Yes, it's the Glazed Divine Light, no mistake about it." Yang Kai nodded lightly, then grinned. "The Glazed Gate isn't the only ones who possess Phantasmo-Glazed Glass."
"Uh…" Qian Tong fell silent. Though he wanted to believe Yang Kai's words, as far as he knew, the only ones on the entire Dark Star who possessed Phantasmo-Glazed Glass were indeed the Glazed Gate.
Who could that transparent a lie possibly fool? The kid really did have connections that reached far and wide. Qian Tong had no idea when he'd managed to acquire the Phantasmo-Glazed Glass.
