853 The Second Part of The Plan
As soon as Wang Ju arrived, Yan Liling handed her several pills.
"We don't have much time," said the Alchemist, trying to hide her worry by appearing as calm as possible.
"Give me a few seconds, and I'll kill him with one hit," said Wang Ju.
"No need for that. We don't want the backlash to kill or injure you," explained Yan Liling. "You only need to heal and slowly grind him to death."
Wang Ju pondered for a moment before agreeing. Then, Yan Liling and Tie Gang handed control of the formation to her. The two proceeded to look at a spot in the Fire Dimension.
They stared at it for almost a minute, with each passing second increasing their worries. Finally, something changed. A red sphere manifested in that spot, and their eyes brightened.
An unknown smile of relief crept on Yan Liling's face as she yelled," Hurry up."
Tie Gang knew what she was referring to and acted swiftly. He used his Innate Ability and Technique to link his vitality to the members of the Slaughter and Undying Legion. Then, he also connected the red sphere to the link, providing it with enough life force.
"Soldier, eat your pills," yelled Yan Liling, and members of the legion began to act. While remaining in their formation, the group took pills from their space ring and swallowed them individually.
Immediately afterward, the vitality or life force inside their bodies increased by a thousand folds. Such an act should have increased their stamina and recovery ability; however, they soon noticed most of the vitality was flowing to one person.
These soldiers did not ask why and only executed their orders.
Meanwhile, Yan Liling watched with bated breath as the aura of the red sphere drastically increased. She observed every single fluctuation, not allowing any mistakes or outliers to occur.
"It's not enough," observed Tie Gang, making Yan Liling frown.
"We expected this since he would die to an Emperor blow. Luckily, the attack only contained the power of an Emperor and not the essence.'
Mortals killed by Emperors are affected by causality and cannot be easily revived–including using the power of Time. However, one of the weaknesses or flaws of the Ten Supremacy Foundation is that it only provides the strength of an Emperor and not the Immortal Essence of a higher-dimensional entity.
Yan Liling waved her hand to create a large formation with the red sphere at the center. She then waved her hand to place Healing and Vitality Immortal Pills as different Formation Nodes.
With this method, the effects of the pills will combine, creating a better effect than if they were all taken simultaneously.
Yan Liling was about to wait for the result when she thought of something. She gazed in the distance, her eyes penetrating countless layers of space; she saw a dimension full of Wood Energy.
'Excellent,' she thought as she waved her hand to create two more formations. The first one connected to the Wood Dimension and drew all the Wood Energy. The second formation converted Wood Energy into Vitality with unparalleled efficiency.
With all these efforts, the red sphere swiftly changed, morphing from its previous appearance to that of a humanoid. And over time, that humanoid changed to Li Jun's appearance.
"That was easier than I anticipated," were the first words of the mighty Slaughter God. And he was not talking nonsense. In the process of his revival, of going from a state of destruction to existence, he discovered a few of his atoms that were not completely obliterated by that attack.
So, he used them to accelerate his revival.
Li Jun instinctively raised his arm to catch the beauty that rushed in, a brilliant smile plastered on his face.
"I thought I would never see you again," muttered Yan Liling, trying to control her emotions and not cry on this occasion.
"The plan was perfect so that nothing would have happened," reassured Li Jun with a soothing voice as he gently caressed her back. "And if things go wrong, you would only need to become the next Di Tian."
"This is not funny." reproached Yan Liling.
"Yes, I was wrong. You would become the next Xu Shi…Ouch," Li Jun felt a sharp pain from his waist, sending a chill down his soul. It was then he remembered his wife's most potent attack method–using her nails to twist his skin.
"Alright, alright, I apologize. I won't make any more jokes."
"That's what I thought."
"On another note, it seems I've become more handsome," said Li Jun, playing with the many white hairs near his temple. The combination of red and white did enhance his charm, granting a layer of gentleness to his usual sharp and straight aura.
"Are you alright?"
"I only have less than 10,000 years of lifespan left," said Li Jun. "The good news is the situation is not as bad as Grandfather."
Yan Liling sighed in relief. If that were the case, Li Jun's situation should be healed with Elder Dan.
"By the way, you need to turn your hair back to red," Yan Liling suddenly announced.
"Uh, why? I look so handsome."
"Too handsome. We don't need you to be tempted and revert to your old ways."
Li Jun's mouth twitched, wondering what happened with world-defying trust between companions.
"Heherm."
The two married couples looked at the source of the sound.
"I'm sorry to break this happy reunion. But what is our next course of action? Do we leave the battlefield?" ????????????????????????????????.????????????
"No, we must stay," replied Li Jun, gazing at the cosmic layer where a battle that would forever be engraved in the annals of history was taking place.
"Especially Wang Ju," he continued. "If we could find a way to revert her to her prime state, she could be useful and become a variable."
After using her Emperor Attack, Wang Ju won't be able to do so again after 10 million years; in other words, she can use one attack in one generation. However, there are ways they could reduce the method and maybe, allow her to do it again in this battle by paying a certain price.
"In that case, let's go help and relieve her pressure. Do you want to capture that Shadow?" asked Tie Gang, who knew his boss had a soft spot for talent since he planned to traffic them to the upper dimension.
Although that lad seemed too loyal and might not fit the criteria for people chosen, there might be other ways around this issue.
"No. Since Wang Ju can become another variable with our help, he might have a similar method. So, he must be killed as soon as possible," replied Li Jun, who no longer wasted time and rushed over to help.
Meanwhile, Yan Liling stopped Tie Gang, who also wanted to help.
"Do you want to use these arrays to recondense your fleshly body?"
Tie Gang paused as he glanced at the formation, "No. I was hoping the big boss would condense a better body for me after he proves the Dao."
"That's fine," nodded Yan Liling, preparing to close the formations.
"Wait," suddenly said Tie Gang.
"Have you changed your mind?"
"No, I just had a brilliant idea," replied Tie Gang, and Yan Liling had a perplexed expression.
"Could you channel the power of one of these dimensions to allow me to refine my soul?" asked Tie Gang. "I feel this is my opportunity to go from Peak Gold to Peak Jade Quality."
"That's not a bad idea."
"You think so as well? I was thinking we could revert the Fire Dimension to its previous state. Then, I can use the Flame Energy to temper my soul," added Tie Gang.
"That's too inefficient. There is a Yang and Yin Dimension. We can channel the power in these places to temper your soul," commented Yan Liling. "No, with such immense energy, we can do many things with these two dimensions."
They can use the power of Yin and Yang to accelerate Wang Ju's recovery, Li Jun can increase some of his life spans while also tempering his body, and she can use their energy to refine a few essential pills.
"Let's rush the idea by the others first," said Yan Liling as they rushed over. Demonraise was fighting an asura created by the combination of the Slaughter Spear and the Legions' formation.
Upon observation, it's obvious he won't last long. And as expected, he soon could not last and died under a violent spear attack.
Wang Ju and Li Jun sighed in relief.
"What's wrong?" he asked as he saw the two approached. Yan Liling explained Tie Gang's idea to him.
"It's not a bad idea. However, the risks are also too high."
"The risks?" asked Tie Gang.
"Why do you think Heavenly Dao made the battlefield in such a manner?"
"A prepared battlefield for the clash of these two titans," answered Tie Gang immediately.
"Exactly. The Cosmic Star Layer won't hold them for long. And the other dimension is for when that happens."
Tie Gang sighed in awe as he remembered how the Cosmic Star's space was reinforced. But even then, it's not enough for those two.
"So, my plan is a no-go?"
"Not necessarily," Wang Ju inserted. "The layout of these extra dimensions is that they are stacked on each other. So, once the Cosmic Star Battlefield is eventually destroyed, they have to descend in an orderly manner."
"Is the Fire Dimension the first layer?" asked Li Jun.
"Yes, and the Yin Dimension is the last. So, we must wait there to ensure we don't get in their way. We can also execute Tie Gang's plan."
"In that case, let's hurry."

A battle for the ages had begun.
