Chapter 2044: Chapter 1068: Confrontation (Part 2)

Half of the ”Holy Spirit” energy was extracted, causing the altar’s surface to dim.

However, during the action process of the fifth-grade ”Holy Spirit,” it coincided with the sky’s late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” combating the meteorite, even a late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” didn’t notice his actions.

After the late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” shattered the meteorite, he landed back on the altar.

He immediately noticed the energy consumption within the altar, revealing a puzzled expression.

Li Shiming was already prepared, in case he was discovered, he would control the fifth-grade ”Holy Spirit” to attempt to escape.

Previously, he had no confidence in letting the fifth-grade ”Holy Spirit” escape, but now the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” was in combat with human Great Powers, the chances of escaping were considerably high.

Obviously, Li Shiming didn’t understand the uniqueness of the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier,” a late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” did not suspect the fifth-grade ”Holy Spirit” or other ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” of small actions.

The late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” pondered whether the energy he mobilized earlier caused an unusual energy depletion, otherwise, why would there be a significant reduction in ”Holy Spirit” energy within the altar.

As for whether an ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” would steal ”Holy Spirit” energy, it was an impossibility.

The altar held supreme sanctity in the minds of the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers,” none of them would privately extract ”Holy Spirit” energy from it.

The late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” couldn’t think much, as the battle was still ongoing.

After Peng Run Great Power unleashed a mighty strike, he didn’t proceed with an attack.

His full-strength strike served to convey to Li Yuanba that he had taken action for a previous incident.

The battle continued, but it appeared more like a standoff.

Human Great Powers and ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” mutually exhausted each other’s energy, the strong beings in both camps did not exert their full effort.

Li Yuanba restrained his attack power, adjusting the might of his ”Chaos Sword Intent” to a level that wouldn’t severely impact the energy shield of the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” battle formation, yet could disgust the opponent.

In such circumstances, the late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” did not launch an attack against Li Yuanba.

Li Shiming found it quite fascinating, once he extracted half of the ”Holy Spirit” energy into his body, the connection deepened between the fifth-grade ”Holy Spirit” and the altar.

Through the fifth-grade ”Holy Spirit,” he could perceive some conditions within the altar.

The altar was nurturing a formidable special energy, purer than the ”Holy Spirit” energy, and if defined, it resembled an upgraded version of the ”Holy Spirit” energy.

This special energy was scarce, growing extremely slowly.

Li Shiming sensed that the special energy was nurturing something.

The fight lasted several days, possibly due to the fifth-grade ”Holy Spirit” extracting a massive amount of energy from the altar, by the third day of battle, the late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” issued a command to disperse the fight.

Li Shiming could sense from the altar that its energy was at an extremely dangerous level.

If it decreased further, it would affect the altar’s operation.

Even so, the altar hadn’t drawn from the energy of the twelve ”Exotic Realm Spirit Crystals,” but instead continued to deplete the ”Holy Spirit” energy injected by previous fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers.”

The twelve fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” and one late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” took three days to accumulate ”Holy Spirit” energy on the altar, sufficient for just three days of consumption.

If not for the extraction by the fifth-grade ”Holy Spirit,” this ”Holy Spirit” energy could have sustained for two or three more days.

With an additional two or three days, it would nearly connect the altar with the Divine Domain.

Now even the late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” was helpless, for the altar to endure longer, he injected some of his ”Holy Spirit” energy into it.

But even so, it merely allowed the altar to endure for now.

Having the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” disperse for combat was an inevitable choice, for the remaining time to ensure the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” and human Great Powers engaged in a mixed battle to delay time.

The battle formation was indeed useful, but it demanded significant consumption.

Remaining stationary was a constraint for the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers.”

With advantages in speed, although unable to perform Space Movement, their more robust physique and the varied ”Holy Spirit” energy enabled them to wield greater power in mobility.

On the human Great Power side, most have utilized Cave Heaven Energy, without which they couldn’t have sustained several days of high-intensity consumption.

Observing the dispersion of the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers,” they also began engaging in selective combat.

The ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” reformed into smaller teams of ten half-step fifth-grade soldiers, forming smaller battle formations against the human Great Powers.

Collaborating and leveraging numerical advantage, they reentered a stalemate with the human Great Powers.

Neither the late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” nor Peng Run Great Power moved, the strongest on the battlefield exchanged glances, seemingly waiting for an opportune moment.

”Yuanba, join us?” Yi Yao Great Power proposed to Li Yuanba, having long been paired with Great Power Ding Feng.

”I’ll still fight solo, teaming up with you might disrupt your coordination!” Li Yuanba shook his head in refusal.

Yi Yao Great Power didn’t press, aware of Li Yuanba’s formidable strength.

So long as he didn’t face the late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier,” Li Yuanba could easily handle any ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers.”

Li Yuanba selected a team led by a fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” as his target, equivalent to facing two fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers.”

He exercised caution, avoiding an overly powerful display.

The late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” had yet to join the battle; once the late stage fifth-grade soldier clashed with Peng Run Great Power, that’s when he would fully engage.

Given the relative weakness of his opponents, he intentionally held back, making the fight seem lax.

He aimed carefully, attempting to unleash a beam of sword light.

This beam, intentionally or unintentionally, penetrated through the ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers’” battle formation, heading towards the altar.

The late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” didn’t impede this sword light, and Li Shiming, watching over another fifth-grade soldier stationed at the altar, noted he too had no intention to block.

The sword light struck the cloud beside the altar, and with each inch it traversed through the cloud, its power diminished.

The sword light hadn’t even traversed one-third of the cloud before dissipating within it.

Only then did Li Yuanba realize that even without the protection of ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers,” the altar’s defenses were exceptionally strong.

Directly attacking the altar seemed feasible only from the unguarded upper side.

But that direction was protected by the late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldiers” along with two fifth-grade soldiers, Li Yuanba wouldn’t deliberately show a desire to attack the altar.

After the chaos persisted for a while, Li Yuanba coasted through, pondering when this chaotic battle would conclude.

At that moment, both the late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” and Peng Run Great Power simultaneously moved; the late stage soldier flashed, unexpectedly performing Space Movement.

Executing Space Movement in a spatially restricted environment indicated the soldier’s exceptional command over spatial rules, despite the altar’s spatial constraints having a somewhat reduced impact.

The late stage fifth-grade ”Exotic Realm Divine Soldier” appeared near Peng Run Great Power, his longsword aimed for Peng Run.

Yellow light flickered around Peng Run Great Power, transforming his foothold into a castle.

From the castle, yellow stone arrows were launched, surrounding and assaulting the late stage fifth-grade soldier.

This was the Earth Element Great Power’s most troublesome capability, a castle entirely formed of Earth Element Energy materialized instantly, breaking through was no simple task.

Furthermore, within the castle, the Earth Element Great Power could launch extensive counterattacks without worrying about defense.
