n“I have made up my mind and will not withdraw, no matter what.” Left Bank Progenitor said with a solemn expression.

n“Make your move then.” The old demon became serious and gathered the light from all of Three Immortals to his fingertip.

nIt eventually turned into a pulsing ray. The entire process happened so quickly and effortlessly.

n“On guard!” Left Bank Progenitor’s expression soured after seeing this light ray.

nIn the next second, his aura erupted and a tsunami appeared again, ready to drown out the world.

nA massive and ancient gate emerged from the bottom of this tsunami to block in front of him. It was created from numerous turtle shells. The surface had the dao of the stars.

n“Profoundshell Divine Gate!” He roared and the gate exuded boundless light.

nOne could hear the cry of a black divine tortoise guarding there. The presence of this divine beast engulfed the area. When the two auras combined, the gate became unbreakable and able to stop any offense.

nIt appeared just in time to stop the pulse unaffected by time and space.

n“Boom!” Everything seemed to be exploding. Numerous cultivators were forced to the ground from the pressure.

nWhen they looked up, they saw the progenitor being blown away. His unbreakable gate was penetrated by the pulse.

nThe progenitor flew for a while before stabilizing. He then vomited a mouthful of blood.

n“Good!” The astonished crowd eventually shouted.

nMany became ecstatic - pushing back a progenitor with just one finger strike? This old man must be unbeatable.

n“I am lost in admiration for your power, Senior.” Left Bank said while wiping away the blood on his lips.

n“Can’t reach the apex, this is just the accumulation of power from the academy.” The tree demon calmly said.

nSure, this pulse came from the academy indeed. However, he was the only one qualified to control this power.

n“Oooo-” Left Bank then blew his battle horn.

nIn fact, the other progenitors have been watching the whole time. Thus, the three instantly ordered their battalions to fly towards the academy to answer Left Bank Progenitor’s call for reinforcement.

n“Shit, they’re meeting up.” The crowd became nervous.

nSirens could be heard all over the academy. Their members once again grouped up and entered a state of battle. Defense barriers emerged once more.

n“There’s no way the academy can handle this.” The world lamented with uncertainty.

n***

nMeanwhile, Tai Yinxi back in Sky Pass has been paying attention to the enemies at the fortress.

nThough they have yet to make a move, he still didn’t let down his guard. Another wave was definitely coming if these four battalions were to fail.

n

n

n“Commander, the immortal material is here.” A general came in to report this good news.

n“Hurry, let the elders fix this last brick!” Tai Yinxi excitedly said. This was the best news he heard so far since the dark invasion.

nIf they could fix this last brick, then maybe they would be able to stop the rest of the army from coming into Immortal Lineage.

nThus, as long as all the systems back there could work together to destroy these four battalions, they wouldn’t need to worry about dealing with any reinforcement.

n***

n“Rumble!” Space trembled from numerous explosions.

nIt didn’t take long before the other three battalions appeared above the academy. Though they were immensely far away, these ships led by progenitors could move at an insane speed.

nThe sheer number of ships blotted out the sky and instilled fear to those below. Fortunately, the academy was filled with the light right now so the atmosphere didn’t become as oppressive.

nEight Treasures, Cicada, and Bamboo Progenitor joined up with Left Bank Progenitor. They surrounded the tree demon in the center and sealed off any possible escape path.

nThese progenitorial auras ravaged the firmaments. All the living beings at the academy cowered in fear.

nJust think about it, one progenitor alone was frightening enough. Now, four of them were here.

nThe grand dao of the academy’s cultivators became suppressed. They were powerless to resist; this included the mighty ancestors.

nThe systems who wanted to help started thinking otherwise. Just the four progenitors were enough to kill all reinforcements. This was before taking into account the dark invaders from the ships.

n“Is there no hope?” Despair overwhelmed everyone. No one could come up with a way to overcome this dilemma.

n“With faith in our heart, let there be light!” Suddenly, an ancient ancestor from the academy roared.

nThe living beings here woke up from their despair and thought about this method.

n“With faith in our heart, let there be light!” All the mortals and cultivators, even the beasts with sentience started chanting.

nThis was an elementary chant of the light dao. It has been carved in this dao land; even a three-year-old knew this chant.

n“Buzz…” Strands of light emanated from the land and its inhabitants, culminating in a bright ocean.

nThis boundless power eventually entered the old tree demon like fledgling swallows returning to their nest.

nHe wasn’t the one absorbing the light from these entities. They actively chose to give their light in order to empower him since he was their only hope.

n“Rumble!” The light continued to flow into him.

nJust imagine, all of the living beings at the academy bathed in the light since their birth, possessing the power of this affinity. Now, all of this was flowing into the demon. This was quite a magnificent scene.
