Chapter 6899: Assault The grand momentum of Stygian could be activated but High Heaven Obliteration required life force and vitality. Mang was a visionary when creating this technique. In the absence of a celestial or even primordial immortal, the alliance could still use this formation to defeat a mightier foe. Sure enough, the situation was grim for them during Immortal Emperor Min Ren’s invasion. They faced not only Guardian but also other forces, the strongest of which being Golden World with its leader. Golden World’s primordial immortals summoned more immortals from various worlds. They all saw hope of destroying Devouring Alliance since Immortal Emperor Min Ren could handle Mang. They only wanted to watch at first but when the battle between the two took place in Mang’s source, they seized the opportunity. Spectators became combatants and marched to the battlefield to assist Guardian, culminating in a majestic coalition of eight major worlds. Zhao Dachui was decisive during the crisis, being the first to offer his life force and vitality to activate High Heaven Obliteration. Others followed his lead. The formation threatened Guardian Alliance enough to force a retreat. The coalition armies saw this and also left to avoid casualties. At the end of the crisis, Zhao Dachui released the staff and returned everyone’s vitality and life force. Today seemed to be a repeat and the opponent was the same - Guardian. However, Controller still felt that there was something off about offering their life to the staff. What if Guangmai didn’t return everything? The whole thing was predicated on trust. If Immortal Emperor Gu Chun had suggested this, the alliance would refuse him. However, Guangmai was a direct successor of Mang. Therefore, there were plenty of reasons to trust him, perhaps even more than Zhao Dachui in the past. Alas, he had offered his flesh and blood so it was too late for regret. “Very well. Now, since we are united, even when I die, my soul and flesh will belong to the alliance and strengthen it!” Guangmai shouted. The crowd was moved that a primordial immortal was willing to partake in this monumental event with them. The lofty goal was to build a new world for all using the heart. “We shall enter Golden Lamp now.” Guangmai sat on the throne again. “How should we proceed?” Controller asked. “Break it down first, every inch of the land outside, perhaps that will weaken the dao heart’s illumination.” Guangmai said. “It’s no use, we tried before.” Devouring Lord said. Starting from Mang’s generation, the alliance had tried numerous methods to no avail, unable to extinguish the dao heart. “Just push through in one go?” Immortal Devourer didn’t have experience in this regard. “Stronger cultivators are subjected to greater suppression. The progenitor had tried before.” Fire Immortal shook his head. “The suppression comes from the self. When illuminated by the dao heart, our heart devil will not be able to endure. If it shatters, then our own dao heart will become the shackles.” Guangmai said. “So what we once protected will bite us.” The immortals understood. They were once great beings with magnificent stories. They endured and struggled before reaching this realm. Unfortunately, they fell into the darkness and the heart devil swallowed their dao heart. When heart devils became weakened by the illumination, their dao heart would bite back immediately. This was the terror of the illumination. “Who first?” Everyone hesitated, not wanting to start a conflict between the current and past selves. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶 “There’s a way.” Guangmai told the hesitant crowd.
