Chapter 934 Engaging In Defense

"Revered Ancestor, everything is ready!" Grand Elder Krax Alstreim reported as he sat over the skies in a cross-legged position.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim cast a look at him.

It was not just Grand Elder Krax Alstreim alone who sat, but there were seven other Grand Elders who sat along with him in a circular formation aligned in a vertical manner. Right in the middle of them was an empty space, but a flash of light blinded everyone before a formation core appeared.

All eight of the Grand Elders started to pour their Peak-Level Law Sea Stage essence energy into the core of the formation, and immense crimson gaseous appearance started to take form.

Davis looked at it and recognized that it should be an Emperor Grade Formation. However, was it enough to stop the incoming menace?

He felt increasingly excited, thinking that his horizons were about to be broadened!

======

A bloodied silhouette shot through the skies as she looked at the silhouette of a city. The land below her held rivers, lakes, mountains that thrived with magical beasts and humans. She closed her eyes to their foreseeable plight and shed a tear.

This woman was none other than Grand Elder Elise Alstreim.

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim rushed at the speed of eight hundred kilometers per second, her abundant flames leaving a trail in the skies as she fled for her life. She cast a look behind and saw that this immense creature was still on her trail.

Her face didn't possess any amount of fear as she soared through the air in a bid to escape the Aqua Flood Dragon, but there was nervousness and worry deep within her purple eyes.

'No matter what, I must secure this treasure for the family! Even if we can't use it, we can secretly trade it with the Falling Snow Sect or other powers that possess suitable treasures to exchange!' Extreme determination flashed in her eyes.

Initially, she tried to lose it somewhere else, but she could in no way compare to its speed. It was more like it was enjoying the hunt rather than seriously hunting her, but she could also feel that it was pissed off. She remembered the desiring gaze it cast at her when she took the treasure and escaped. She didn't know what it meant, but she sure would like to not learn of it either!

Her only hope of survival was the Grand Alstreim City! But it would also mean that she would be endangering her son, father, and every other people she cared about. She didn't even have time to inform them about this crisis when she escaped; neither did she initially plan to take this treasure in the first place!

It was all at the spur of the moment when she found the opportunity!

She felt like this rush that lasted for no more than a few minutes lasted for years.

Her eyelids were becoming increasingly heavy, and her gaze became blurry from the usage of twenty-five percent of her blood essence to escape. She was critically wounded by one of its initial attacks as well. She felt that she was nearing the limit!

However, she kept her eyes wide as she only concentrated on making it to the Grand Alstreim City!

Once she was near, her blurry eyes caught sight of the Ancestor, and her expression blossomed into a vague smile while also knowing that the defenses of the Grand Alstreim City might be ready, but this sensation of relief cost her badly as she was on the verge of fainting from the loss of blood essence.

She forcefully bit of the tip of her tongue to keep herself awake, and the sudden pain helped her pass the hurdle! In just a few seconds, just when she crossed a certain point, blinding red light flashed behind her, which made her look behind to see what had happened.

A volcanic projection appeared as it formed a defensive barrier over the entire northern side! The crimson walls were kind of transparent as they appeared to be crystallized.

*Roar!~*

The Aqua Flood Dragon that was right behind it didn't stop! With an angry bellow, it rammed right into the crimson barrier!

*Boom!~*

*Roar!~*

An explosion occurred as the Aqua Flood Dragon echoed a cry of pain and rebounded in the air from the impact!

*Rumble!~*

The crimson barrier trembled from the impact, but it didn't shatter at all. Instead, powerful flames danced at the point where the collision occurred, the crimson flames dancing around in the sky before it disappeared into nothingness as it entered the void.

Grand Elder Elise Alstreim looked behind the defensive barrier, successfully thwart the Aqua Flood Dragon from entering the Grand Alstreim City.

It was actually the first time she saw the Volcanic Crystal Wall Barrier Formation activate, but along with the presence of the Ancestor whom she never gave any kind of respect for, it gave her an immense sense of relief that she instantly fainted in mid-air, but her body was traveling with the same extreme speed following the momentum.

However, two arms gently wrapped around her and skillfully withstood the momentum of her speed with their chest, making her not get further injured.

Patriarch Eldric Alstreim held his mother as he looked at her bloodied body. His mouth was agape while his lips trembled as he looked at the shoulder that was split in half. Her shoulder bones were visible to the naked eye, making his eyes go red in anger and worry. However, he didn't waste time and instantly left the place to heal her in a more suitable place. No one stepped in front of him to stop him.

It didn't matter what had happened, but they must first make the Aqua Flood Dragon retreat, and for Patriarch Eldric Alstreim, his mother's health and survival was his first priority.

Ancestor Dian Alstreim looked at Patriarch Eldric Alstreim's leave before he turned to look at the Aqua Flood Dragon with a bit of arrogance in his eyes. Outside, he would have to flee if he met this arrogant dragon, but here, as long as the resources lasted, he could humiliate it with words all he wanted, but it would still be unable to injure him in the slightest.

However, that was not for the best.

The energy requirement of this High-Level Emperor Grade Defensive Formation, Volcanic Crystal Wall Barrier are Peak-Level Spirit Stones, and in the tens of thousands for each Ninth Stage Powerhouse's attack, it withstood. It just wasn't efficient and would quickly deplete their Peak-Level Spirit Stones reserves like drinking water!

"Stop!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim echoed as he passed through the barrier and stood alone outside like a human king, watching the Aqua Flood Dragon with wide eyes!

"Human!!!"

The two hundred and fifty-meter long Aqua Flood Dragon's eyes became red in anger as it opened its jaws, creating a wave of wind that picked up like a storm!

"Aqua Flood Dragon! This is the Alstreim Family's territory! Time and time again, you are provoking our power, so don't expect us to sit back and watch!" Ancestor Dian Alstreim coldly spoke before he waved his hand.

Blinding crimson light flashed again, and a wave of eight hazy tentacles formed before it took shape into grayish and crimson arms! The wrists extended, and the palms grew before five fingers spread out into eight blazing hands that encompassed the northern region!

It was not his power but the complete activation of the Eight Ashfall Arms Formation!
