Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 168 Re-entering the Wilderness
As soon as Lan Tian finished speaking, several groups of people swarmed forward, hoping to join the Spirit Hall's alliance and head to the Desolate Region together.

Several previous teams have disappeared without a trace, indicating that something terrible must have happened in the desolate region. It's unknown whether they are all still alive. For the time being, no sect or family has ventured into the desolate region alone. Everyone is waiting for a powerful leader to unite all forces and form an alliance to explore, challenge, and share the spoils of war in the desolate region.

The alliance between the Spirit Hall and the Yi family has given everyone hope. Only by joining forces can they safely and effectively explore the various resources of the wasteland and figure out exactly what happened.

Lan Tian and Yi Mengying formed an alliance by combining various forces that were willing to align with each other, and elected leaders for each group, organizing them into five groups. Each group was led by a leader of the five groups, and finally, Lan Tian and Yi Mengying jointly commanded and directed them, following the arrangements and orders of the two leaders.

Lan Tian and Yi Mengying were appointed as the leader and deputy leader, respectively, commanding this alliance. The first group was led by Hai Liang, who commanded the members of the Spirit Hall; the second group was led by Yi Landi, who commanded the members of the Yi family; the third group was led by Luo Xi, who commanded the members of the Luo, Xiao, Cao, and Qin families; the fourth group was led by Su Qi, who commanded the members of the Su, Yu, Tang, Wu, and Fang families; and the fifth group was led by Xiao Hua, who commanded the members of the remaining factions.

The alliance has been established, and preparations are in full swing. Everyone is busy procuring all the necessary weapons, equipment, and supplies. To better coordinate the team, Blue Sky convened a meeting with the group leaders to assess their strengths, gather information from all sides, and analyze how they will cooperate and support each other after entering the wasteland.

"The reason I've gathered everyone here today is to assess your strength levels so we can cooperate more effectively in the future. Let me start by describing my situation. I'm currently at the peak of the Level 2 Venerable realm. My main attribute skills are lightning and ice/fire, and I also have a special Dark Devouring skill."

Lan Tian addressed everyone. These words immediately stunned them. To have cultivated to the peak of the Second-Level Venerable Realm at such a young age—this was the number one person on the Blue Card Continent! And so many attribute skills—none of these had ever appeared on the Blue Card Continent before. This left Luo Xi, Su Qi, Xiao Hua, and Yilandi speechless! Wasn't this just an eccentric?! No wonder Zhao Qingyun took him as a disciple; he was now an elder of the Spirit Hall.

Next, Yi Mengying introduced herself. "My attribute skills are quite special. I can control my opponent for a short time. At the same time, I am currently at the peak of the third level of the Venerable Realm and have the Illusion skill attribute."

This one is even more formidable, able to control his opponent in a short time—a top-secret skill that defeats the enemy in one move.

Ilandi already possessed dual-attribute skills, controlling ice and fire. After entering the Venerable Realm, he reactivated his lightning skill, reaching the peak of the third level of the Venerable Realm.

Hai Liang is at the peak of the third level of the Venerable Realm, possesses dual Feng Shui attribute skills, and has rich combat experience. She is a powerful combat and defensive fighter.

Luo Xi is an elder of the Luo family. Compared to Lan Tian and the others, she is older and more experienced. She is a leader with explosive combat power and rich experience. She is currently at the peak of the third level of the Venerable Realm and has fire and earth attribute skills. She is an offensive powerhouse.

Su Qi, the head of the Su family, is a peer who rose to prominence alongside Zhao Qingyun and others. He has already cultivated to the level of a second-level Venerable, possessing dual wind and water attribute skills. He is a top-tier warrior on the Blue Card Continent, with explosive combat power.

Xiao Hua, an elder of the Church of Light, is also a top-tier offensive powerhouse on the Blue Card Continent, at the peak of the second-level Venerable Realm, possessing dual wind and fire attribute skills. Upon reaching the Venerable Realm, one has the opportunity to activate an attribute skill, so all Venerables possess dual attribute skills—this is a benefit of advancing in rank. However, it is relatively rare for someone to enter the Venerable Realm without activating a single attribute skill.

"Before everyone enters the wasteland, I need to practice the fusion skill with Ilandi, Luo Xi, and Xiao Hua. This is our last trump card, our means of survival."

Lan Tian told everyone that the fusion skill was taught to him by his master Zhao Qingyun. If they encounter a demon king-level demon beast this time, he can fight it and help them escape in a short time.

Over the next few days, Lan Tian, ​​Xiao Hua, Luo Xi, and Yilandi devoted themselves to cultivating and fusing the fire attribute skill—Flame of Fire. This was the most powerful fire phoenix fusion skill that Lan Tian had recently comprehended.

Guided by the fire attribute skills of the Phoenix in the blue sky, Yilandi, Luoxi, and Xiaohua all pushed their fire attribute skills to the limit, using all their strength to bring the four flames together and gradually form a powerful energy sphere. The flames crackled and the temperature rose higher and higher. The energy sphere gathered more and more, and in an instant, it merged together to form a powerful and dazzling fireball that floated in the air. The energy fluctuations were extremely intense, with the power to destroy the world.

If this energy sphere were to explode, its power would be astonishing, capable of instantly destroying everything and tearing apart spatial rifts. Currently, Lan Tian has cultivated to the peak of the second level of the Venerable Realm, possessing complete control over his attributes and skills. He can also freely control this Fire Fusion skill, releasing it thousands of miles into the sky where it dissipates without exploding nearby.

At the same time, Lan Tian also reviewed the Phoenix's World Fusion skill. Although Phoenix's World Fusion is not as powerful as Fire Flame, it is still a top-tier energy attack skill with wide-range destructive power after fusing with the cultivation of the Venerable Realm. It is an attack that even a peak level one Venerable Realm expert would find difficult to withstand.

After everything was prepared, Lan Tian led everyone back into the wilderness.

This time, entering the desolate region was very different from before. Before, with Master Zhao Qingyun protecting him, Lan Tian had no worries. This time, it was just him, Hai Liang, and Yi Mengying. He couldn't afford to lose them in the slightest. They were the women he couldn't abandon, the people he would risk his life to protect.

Lan Tian arranged for Hai Liang and himself to scout ahead, while Yi Mengying would bring up the rear. He was to be the first to bear any problems and ensure that neither of them would suffer any mishaps.

Along the way, we passed through the buffer zone without finding anything unusual or making any noise; everything seemed perfectly normal.

Once outside the buffer zone, Lan Tian and his group found nothing amiss. Due to the sheer number of people and groups entering and leaving the area, the wild beasts of the Desolate Region were nowhere to be seen; they had all fled. The hunting here was so fierce that the beasts dared not come here to forage. This was completely different from their first visit, which made Lan Tian uneasy. The excessive hunting would surely provoke the wrath of the Desolate Region's Demon King, sparking a counterattack. Peace would not be easily restored here; a battle with the Demon King was inevitable, and constant fighting was unavoidable.
