In the City Lord’s Residence of Heavenly Dragon City, Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai were counting the experts in Heavenly Star Island .
Lan Shaobai took out a stack of vellum and looked at Mo Chen . “The tabulation is done . Excluding the Martial Sages and below, we have a total of two thousand quasi-Emperors, three hundred Minor Heavenly Martial Emperors, eighty Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors, twenty Sovereign Martial Emperors, and including the Primes, ten people on the level of Holy Masters . ”
“So few!” Mo Chen said, frowning .
Indeed, there were very few . Before the golden age arrived, this would have been all the forces of the entire Heavenly Starry Ocean .
However, after the arrival of the golden age, people continuously broke through to Martial Emperor . Several older-generation cultivators experienced a spurt of improvements, advancing further .
However, many quasi-Emperors died during the recent calamity, leaving only two thousand of them .
The Minor Heavenly and Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors taken together totaled less than four hundred people . As for Sovereign Martial Emperors, there were only twenty people .
Most of these people were from the three Immortal Holy Lands . Without including them, there would be even fewer .
The sudden appearance of the eighteen Immortal statues had been like eighteen Primes appearing . They possessed tremendous destructive power; describing that day as doomsday was no exaggeration .
Lan Shaobai nodded and said, “They are indeed rather few . The entire Heavenly Starry Ocean lost more than fifty percent of its peak combat prowess . Actually, had the Heavenly Starry Ocean been well organized, it would not have suffered such great losses .
“Unfortunately, the Heavenly Starry Ocean is like a group of dragons without a leader . We also do not know what happened in the Kunlun Continent . The Martial God Palace and Deity Dao Union did not send any reinforcements . The Treasure Master choose the timing very well . ”
Mo Chen corrected, “That was not a timing that the Treasure Master chose; that was a timing that he created himself .
Mo Chen believed that the Treasure Master had been waiting for this day and had planned for it for a long time already . If the Martial God Palace and the Deity Dao Union had been able to send reinforcements, the Heavenly Starry Ocean’s losses would not have been that much .
The Treasure Master had definitely known about the Azure Dragon Palace and included it in his plans .
Lan Shaobai smiled and said, “We don’t need to bother about this for now . There is a piece of good news . After many rounds of testing, the Worldly Absolute Dragon Formation can now block the attacks of the Immortal statues . ”
However, Mo Chen was not that optimistic . “That is under one condition: that the Immortal statues’ strength has not changed . ”
“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Just at this moment, footsteps pounded outside the City Lord’s Residence . A few Dragon’s Gate disciples rushed in and reported, “Things are bad . The Treasure Master’s Residence’s people are charging over . ”
Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai immediately stood up and flew out of the hall to look into the distance .
The two discovered the upper bodies of the Immortal statues at the limits of their vision . The statues showed lightless, cold eyes as if they were already very close .
In reality, there was still an enormous distance . It was just that these Immortal statues were too tall, looking like towering mountains clearly visible from fifty kilometers away .
“Prepare for battle, then . ”
Mo Chen appeared calm, having anticipated this long ago . The Treasure Master’s Residence would not leave things lying . The peace from earlier was just the calm before the storm, an even larger storm that was brewing .
However, there was also a shadow in her heart . The Treasure Master’s Residence’s arrival was somewhat too slow .
Under normal circumstances, after the Immortal statues were gathered back and repaired, the Treasure Master’s Residence should have charged over one day later . However, eight days had passed before the Treasure Master’s Residence made its move .
“To the city gates!”
Without much time to think, Mo Chen and Lan Shaobai called out before flying to the city walls .
Many experts had already rushed to the eastern city gates . When they saw the gigantic Immortal statues in the distance, they felt very worried .
Before this calamity, these people were either Sect Masters or Clan Heads of ancient Noble Clans . They had all been the rulers of their areas .
They could be called major characters of the Heavenly Starry Ocean . There was definitely no problem with them taking charge under normal circumstances .
However, even when banded together, none of them had any confidence when they looked at the Immortal statues .
“City Lords, will the Worldly Absolute Dragon Formation be able to block the attacks of these Immortal statues?”
The one who spoke had been the Clan Head of an ancient Noble Clan . He still held lingering fears of the attacks of the Immortal statues .
A physical body rivaling a Prime, swift and nimble speed, strong Magic Skills, and a vast body . Just one Immortal statue had destroyed his clan’s business, eradicated his entire clan .
“If the formation cannot block it, we should leave now . ”
The Heavenly Province Academy’s Vice Sect Master clearly was not confident . Back then, three of the Immortal Holy Lands—the Yinyang Paradise, the Heavenly Province Academy, and the Five Poison Sect—chose to fight the Immortal statues .

In the end, they missed out on the best time to leave . The casualties were shocking, causing them lingering fear until today .
“What is there to fear? The Azure Dragon King and three Primes are gathered here . I do not believe that we cannot take down these seventeen Immortal statues . Compared to passively defending, we might as well take the fight to them . ”
There were people who were very ambitious and very confident in Xiao Chen . However, they were in the minority .
Most people leaned towards defending . Defend when possible, retreat when defenses fall .
After all, most of these people had an emotional attachment to and interests in the Heavenly Starry Ocean . They could not just leave at the drop of a hat .
Mo Chen was somewhat helpless as to how to answer these questions . When strength reached a certain level, no matter how smart a scheme was, it would be useless .
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Three figures appeared . The Bright Moon Empress, the Myriad-Law Fiend Master, and the Cyclic Astral Lord came at the same time .
The Primes’ appearance boosted the confidence of the crowd on the wall a little . After all, these Primes had fought and held back several Immortal statues alone back then .
The Myriad-Law Fiend Master looked at the Immortal statues in confusion and said, “This again? Seventeen Immortal statues . With the three of us working together, we will be able to block this . If they want to use this to break us, the Treasure Master is expecting too much . ”
The Immortal statue was as strong as a Prime . However, in the end, it was not alive; in intelligence, it was not as flexible as Primes .
The three Primes working together would definitely be able to delay seventeen Immortal statues; at the very least, they would remain undefeated .
The Bright Moon Empress frowned slightly . “It is surely not that simple . Given the Treasure Master’s character, he will either not make a move or be very confident of victory the moment he does . There must be something different with the Immortal statues this time . ”
The Cyclic Astral Lord nodded and said, “That’s right . The Treasure Master is very crafty . He definitely came prepared . ”
The Cyclic Astral Lord could be said to have suffered greatly at the Treasure Master’s hands . Originally, he thought that even if the Treasure Master had any sinister plans, the three Primes could work together and use force to suppress him .
Before absolute strength, the Treasure Master would be helpless .
Unexpectedly, when the other party turned hostile, he used absolute strength to suppress the Primes into helplessness instead .
If Xiao Chen had not appeared and surpassed Prime, the consequences would have been dire .

When the others heard what the Cyclic Astral Lord said, they were incredulous .
“That can’t be . If they are so incredible, then why were they not used earlier?” someone who wanted to charge out and fight with the Immortal statues asked in disbelief .
As this person spoke, someone else suddenly cried out, “What’s that?”
The crowd looked over and saw a perfectly straight beam of light tearing through the clouds in the distance, heading for Heavenly Star Island .
The three Primes infused energy into their eyes . After they clearly saw it, their expressions changed . “It’s a sword!”
It was a glimmering, one-kilometer-long sword with an exquisite design . Even though it was one kilometer long, the glint of its edge remained clear .
Mo Chen reacted very quickly . She overlapped her hands, clamping on a formation plate . Then, she closed her eyes and rapidly formed hand seals .
Bright lights came from Mo Chen’s hands . Instantly, all the Dragon’s Gate disciples and the other cultivators at the formation nodes in the city sensed her summons .
They quickly sat down cross-legged, activating the nodes in their charge . Immediately, thousands of pillars of azure light soared up from Heavenly Dragon City .
The pillars of light gathered in the sky . Then, Mo Chen extended her arm . A light barrier descended, encasing the entire Heavenly Star Island .
“Dang!”
At this moment, the one-kilometer-long sword landed .
A loud sound echoed throughout the city . Heavenly Star Island shook intensely, inciting fear and horror in everyone’s heart .
“Chi! Chi!”
The sword stabbed into the light barrier, half its blade penetrating and hovering above the city gates, above everyone . The Worldly Absolute Dragon Formation that could block a Prime managed to hold back the might of this sword . However, the sword looked like it would soon force its way in completely, shocking everyone .
The Cyclic Astral Lord soared into the air . Thousands of stars fell around him before gathering in his palm .
Then, he attacked with all his might, shoving the sword out of the barrier . Blood leaked from his mouth .
After the Cyclic Astral Lord landed, he shouted, “Everyone, be careful . This is one of the Magic Treasures of the Immortal statues . They are all peak Immortal Equipment!”
Mo Chen did not dare to delay . Her hands continued forming hand seals at an even faster rate . The color of the azure light barrier slowly turned deeper and denser until dragon patterns appeared on the light barrier and gave off a loud dragon roar .
