Chapter 991: Chapter 991
In the void, Long Ge, who originally intended to strike, hesitated for a moment.
"The God Slaying Sword Formation... how is it possible? The Sword Realm was scattered by a True God, how did Tianxia obtain this sword formation?"
Long Ge was very confident in his own strength, but faced with this sword formation, which had once slain True Gods and was famous, he felt daunted.
Reason told Him that if He didn’t save the red-clothed figure, they would only be defeated by Tianxia one by one.
He suppressed his instinctive fear and acted.
Long Ge rushed out, his arm muscles piling up like rubber, and with a punch, two vortices that devoured all things condensed into shape.
He was going to kill the Sword Demon and the Priest outside the formation, thereby breaking the array without attacking it.
Boom, boom! Two gigantic fists fell from the heavens, shattering the vortices.
The Dragon King descended from the sky, his tower-like body standing like a city wall in front of Lu Chenzhou and the others.
"Long Ge, you have indeed escaped, what remains in the Great World is just an avatar, right?" The Dragon King’s eyes narrowed slightly.
According to the information, Long Ge was still in the Great World.
But before the battle, Lu Chenzhou divined with "Heaven’s Winning Half Son".
If Tianxia placed all its chips on the red-clothed figure, there would be a bloodbath instead.
This indicated that there were other dangers watching them in secret.
Lu Chenzhou speculated that Long Ge might have already escaped, but was pretending not to have left.
When the red-clothed figure attracted the firepower, Long Ge would seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Fresh chapters posted on ɴovelfire.net
Therefore, Lu Chenzhou had the Dragon King hide near the battlefield in advance to assist, and Kune Xu to guard Tianxia.
With this arrangement, whether Long Ge appeared in Mystic Sky or Tianxia, they could stall for time and adapt to the situation.
"Where is Kun Xu? Come out together." Long Ge said.
"I can hold my own against a Demon Lord, do I need anyone else just to contain you?" The Dragon King laughed lightly, "Watch closely how the red-clothed figure meets their end, for this will also be your fate... The God Slaying Sword Formation is your grave." Having witnessed the power of the sword formation, the Dragon King was full of confidence at this moment.
"No wonder Lu Chenzhou didn’t dare leave Tianxia for three years, he went to find the God Slaying Sword Formation..." Long Ge’s heart sank.
He vaguely remembered that the last of the Sword Immortal Hong seemed to have perished with Lagu in the Xia Realm.
Therefore, if they had launched an attack during those three years of Lu Chenzhou’s absence, they might have succeeded.
But they thought Tianxia was deliberately luring them into a trap, setting an ambush to annihilate them, so they avoided the Xia Realm and missed the opportunity.
Deception upon deception, the human heart is too dirty.
"Heavenly Blue Sky Fist!" The Dragon King leapt up, his fist like a star, descending mightily.
Long Ge was caught between a rock and a hard place, having no choice but to go all out.
These two were both physically powerful beings, and the shockwaves from their strikes shook the surrounding world.
Inside the Eastern Extreme Border Tower, members stationed in Mystic Sky watched all this, their hearts surging with emotion.
"It turns out to be the God Slaying Sword Formation... the legendary first killing formation, reappearing in the world."
"No wonder the Alliance Hierarch has been silent for years, unmoved even by the chaos caused by the red-clothed figure, he was preparing for the sword formation."
On the other side, the realm venerables of the Divine Race also sighed in relief.
"Luckily, we have not been abandoned."
"This fierce formation, in ancient times, slain a True God of the Divine Court."
The True God they mentioned was an Evil God named [Fierce Infant], who wantonly slaughtered mortals within the Heavenly Sword Sect’s territory, angering the Emperor Xuan, who then led the Four Great Sword Immortals to slay him. This incident became the catalyst for internal strife between the Divine Court and Qi Refiners, as well as the starting point of the Ancient Divine War. (Chapter 323)
The sword Qi of the God Slaying Sword Formation raged, four Daos attacking in turns, annihilating everything within into the most primitive dust particles.
This power was on par with the interior of a black hole.
The red-clothed figure had skills, but could not unleash them.
Death, was only a matter of time.
The gods of the stars were also silently observing.
"The God Slaying Sword Formation, where did they get it from?" The Blood God said solemnly, as it was something that could threaten True Gods.
"Lu Chenzhou vanished for years, probably for the sword formation, the red-clothed figure is defeated, and justly so," the Old Mother sighed.
"The red-clothed figure’s death is worthwhile, heavily damaging the Three Thousand Worlds and also lessening the aid we have to deal with in the future," said the Witch.
From beginning to end, He never held much expectation for these demigods, hence the great cost to let the Holy Lord descend early.
"The God Slaying Sword Formation might kill the Holy Lord... Does His descent still hold meaning? Let me descend," asked Lord Toad.
He was no ordinary True God, comparable to a Great God, and even the complete form of the God Slaying Sword Formation couldn’t kill Him.
"The array operators are too weak, and some swords are incomplete, kill me? Dream on," the Holy Lord countered.
"The God Slaying Sword Formation’s limit in this era is slaying demigods. In a short time, Tianxia cannot produce four Great Sword Immortals. Not everyone progresses as fast as Lu Chenzhou," the other Evil Gods were not overly concerned; True Gods who could be killed by mortals had long perished.
The great ravages of time, those True Gods who survived were no ordinary beings.
Even the weakest Holy Lord, in ancient times, was not someone the Four Emperors could slay.
"Holy Lord, as soon as you descend, kill Lu Chenzhou first before he ascends to immortality, it will be troublesome if he does," the Witch Master warned.
"Don’t worry, I will. To become immortal, one must undergo the bodily tribulation, and the shockwaves of this tribulation are no less than the collision of demigods. As long as it’s within the Three Thousand Worlds, we will sense it. So far, there has been no sign, which means Lu Chenzhou has not passed the Immortal Tribulation yet; generally, he must first ascend to Great Power before becoming immortal," the Holy Lord said.
Any tribulation must be passed either in the Three Thousand Worlds or the Great Wilderness.
So, it could also rule out the possibility of Lu Chenzhou undergoing tribulation in the Great Power Cave Heaven.
The gods could not imagine anyone surviving within a black hole and undergoing tribulation there.
The odds of such a possibility were less than one in a billion.
In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.
The presence of the Red-clothed became increasingly withered.
In the distance, Brother Long was extremely anxious, but the Dragon King clung to him like a leech on bones, giving him no chance.
Defeating Brother Long, the Dragon King couldn’t do it, just holding him back. It wasn’t a big issue.
"The Red-clothed is near death, use the strongest move," Lu Chenzhou commanded.
Upon hearing this, the Priest and the Sword Demon controlled the time and space sword moves respectively, forming a temporal vortex enveloping the Red-clothed.
The Red-clothed shrieked mournfully, "You will never kill me."
Bang! In the astonished eyes of everyone, the Red-clothed exploded violently, both the divine soul and body turning into a bloody light, soaring into the sky.
A blood-clothed fierce spirit descended, its aura instantly far surpassing an upper Demigod.
It attacked chaotically, forcibly tearing through the temporal vortex, heading towards Lu Chenzhou to kill.
Ten thousand ghosts wailed, demonic sounds piercing the ears, Lu Chenzhou dodged, leaving the array position, instantly storing the other three within his inner world.
He knew the Red-clothed couldn’t kill him, but he didn’t want to reveal his Immortal Body just yet; he reserved this move for the Demon Lord.
The Red-clothed escaped from the array, under the fixation of impending death, relentlessly pursuing Lu Chenzhou.
"Don’t confront it head-on, just escape, it won’t last long before it dies," the Dragon King transmitted his voice.
"Okay." Lu Chenzhou transformed into Wind Thunder Golden Peng, fully immersed in the "Chasing Light Chapter," weaving through the Ruins Sea.
The fierce spirit of the Red-clothed pursued relentlessly, driven by its fixation.
Until three days later, when the soul of the Red-clothed was depleted, and the divine power burned out, did it regain a hint of clarity.
"Being accompanied by billions to the grave, it’s worth it." It sneered, completely disintegrating, divine soul annihilated.
Lu Chenzhou gazed towards the Three Thousand Worlds; since the emergence of the Red-clothed, stirring a demonic chaos, it had affected at least a quarter of the worlds.
This is the terror of an upper Demigod; without comparable power, the destruction of the human world is but a thought.
Fortunately, most of the civilization’s fire seeds were preserved in Tianxia.
Self-detonation led to death, without even a soul to allow the Martial Arts Tree to absorb.
The Red-clothed’s filthy dao and his character were too mismatched.
He was now at the Eighth Rank of the Extreme Dao, only needing to find a suitable opportunity to comprehend and break through to the Ninth Rank, passing the great tribulation.
Within his inner world, the Sword Demon, Clam Fairy, and Priest revealed weary smiles.
"The upper Demigod was forced to suicide by us."
"Victory, Hierarch, it’s up to you now."
Lu Chenzhou said, "You all return to Tianxia to rest, leave Brother Long to me and the Dragon King."
The God Slaying Sword Formation required extreme consumption.
Apart from Lu Chenzhou, the other three burned their lifeforce essence to barely maintain it.
Next, they still need to deal with the Demon Lord, and the three of them need to recover well.
Lu Chenzhou collected the spoils left by the Red-clothed’s self-detonation and quickly rushed to the Dragon King’s battlefield.
Upon arrival, the Dragon King said, "Brother Long fled, the coward... truly disgracing an upper Demigod."
"No matter, pursue!" Lu Chenzhou summoned the Sky Patrol Hound.
"Forced the Red-clothed to self-detonate... Is the God Slaying Sword Formation truly so terrifying?"
Brother Long’s face was full of panic, desperately flying towards the Heavenly Disaster Demon Lord’s world in the Ruins Sea.
At this point, only by obtaining the Demon Lord’s protection could he save his life.
"Brother Long, take my punch!" The Dragon King suddenly appeared behind him, delivering a punch that engulfed Brother Long in shockwaves.
"You can’t kill me." Brother Long’s body bounced like a ball, absorbing the terrifying force, then sped up even more.
Whoosh! A streak of golden light rapidly closed in on Brother Long, surpassing him almost at the speed of light, then appearing in front of him to unleash a slash.
Seventy-two lotuses bloomed, and Brother Long couldn’t dodge, plunging headfirst into them.
After the horrific explosion, Brother Long’s form shattered, then instantly recovered, continuing to flee without engaging.
"He wants to join with the Demon Lord, we must kill him before that," said Lu Chenzhou.
"Try it; it’s very difficult," the Dragon King shook his head.
Brother Long’s devouring dao carved a new path, having refined his body into a black hole-like form capable of absorbing any force.
Defense power, not inferior to Yuji Dao.
The two of them exhausted their trump cards and gave it their all; the chase with Brother Long lasted a month.
Brother Long, like a dying old ox, dragged Lu Chenzhou and the Dragon King to the Catastrophe Forbidden Zone.
He saw hope for survival and laughed, "Demon Lord, save me, let’s join forces."
In the Catastrophe Forbidden Zone, the Demon Lord currently had only two chains left unbroken around him.
He stood silently in the shadows, behind him nine treasure soldiers, seven shattered, only the Green Profound Sword and Eight Directions Seal, both riddled with cracks.
He watched Brother Long arrive at the forbidden zone, came before Brother Long, extended his hand, and smiled, "Alright, let’s join forces."
Having said this, he grabbed Brother Long’s neck with a bulging veined hand, the bull’s mouth bizarrely opened, and the Power of Four Calamities erupted, swallowing Brother Long.
"Demon Lord... What are you doing?" Brother Long’s terrified voice echoed.
"Joining forces works better." The Demon Lord licked his lips, pounding his chest, and the struggling Brother Long seemingly fell into the abyss, silent.
