The Assault on the Sect Begins, a Formation Within a Formation!

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

The Supreme Qian Sect had been growing livelier by the day.

It wasn't because Yang Chen was coming, but because the Supreme Qian Sect's ordinary spiritual vein was about to be promoted to a profound-grade spiritual vein!

As everyone knew, the foremost requirement for an Upper Spirit Sect to become a Lower Profound Sect was a profound-grade spiritual vein.

The Supreme Qian Sect wasn't yet strong enough to become a Lower Profound Sect, but it was preparing for that day, laying the foundation first.

For such a momentous occasion, it had naturally invited quite a few sects to witness the event!

Yang Chen had chosen to come now because he wanted to slap Ye Suzhen and the Supreme Qian Sect viciously in the face before a crowd.

Li Daochen stood silently atop a mountain peak, watching the many factions arrive with a cold sneer to himself.

The Supreme Qian Sect was a top Upper Spirit Sect, and Ye Suzhen had friends far and wide, so plenty of people had come.

But Li Daochen knew that when Yang Chen came to kill, none of them would lift a finger. They would watch the Supreme Qian Sect's destruction with cold eyes.

The distribution of benefits among the Upper Spirit Sects was involved, and some factions hostile to the Supreme Qian Sect were also fanning the flames.

But the one who truly brought about this situation was Wei Qiong of the Night Ruins. He came from the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and was its master's illegitimate son. Though his cultivation talent was mediocre, he was exceptionally skilled at business. He should already have several merchant associations under him by now, with astonishing wealth.

It was this chubby little fellow, who looked harmless to man and beast, who formed alliances and brokered deals to make the many factions stand by with cold eyes!

The Supreme Qian Sect was already preparing to promote its spiritual vein, and Yang Chen would arrive soon.

Today, Ye Suzhen wore white robes over a black garment, giving her a composed and solemn appearance.

Under the guidance of the Supreme Qian Sect Master and Ye Suzhen, a vast force began pouring into the spiritual vein.

But just then—

"Ye Suzhen, I, Yang Chen, have come for our five-year appointment!" Yang Chen's cold voice rang out.

The many cultivators who didn't know what was happening were shocked.

Ye Suzhen's expression darkened slightly.

He really came!

Yang Chen wore black robes and had merely delicate features, yet he carried an indescribably overbearing and uninhibited air.

After a month of frenzied cultivation, Yang Chen had successfully opened all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints. He had also forcibly broken through the Heaven and Earth Shackles and advanced to the Divine Bridge Realm!

With steady steps, he ignored the many terrifying pressures and walked straight up to Ye Suzhen and the Supreme Qian Sect Master.

"Yang Chen, you could have come for me, but you shouldn't have come today of all days!" Ye Suzhen said coldly, angered for once.

"When you went to the Yang Clan back then, did you ever think about how I felt?" Yang Chen sneered. "I've come today to wipe away the—"

Boom!

Before he could finish, the Supreme Qian Sect Master unleashed his Dragon Gate Realm cultivation and struck out with a terrifying divine ability, aiming straight at Yang Chen in full view of everyone.

Yang Chen's breath caught.

Damn you!

I wasn't finished talking!

And you're an old bastard at the Dragon Gate Realm. What kind of skill does it take to bully me, a Divine Bridge cultivator?!

But at that very instant—

Boom!

A blood-red spear thrust out from beside Yang Chen like a dragon, heading straight for the Supreme Qian Sect Master.

Lin Jingfeng appeared, blood Sha surging into the sky as he shattered the Supreme Qian Sect Master's divine ability.

Compared with when he was at the Battle Sect, Lin Jingfeng had clearly grown much stronger. He should have reached the Half-Step Dragon Gate.

"No need for nonsense. Just fight!" Lin Jingfeng shouted.

"A bunch of greenhorns dare run wild in my Supreme Qian Sect? Don't even think about leaving here today!" the Supreme Qian Sect Master said coldly, then shouted, "Activate the Heaven and Earth Life-Seizing Formation!"

In an instant, the Supreme Qian Sect shook violently. Abundant Spiritual Qi surged forth, forming a curtain of light that enveloped every direction, while divine abilities gathered within.

As long as the formation had enough power, it could endlessly produce the Supreme Qian Sect's divine abilities!

Since they couldn't find anyone else to operate the grand formation on such short notice, they could only keep using the same people, even though they knew some had been charmed by Yun Mei'er.

But—

Each person had a talisman for calming the mind affixed to them, so they wouldn't be affected for a short time.

Yang Chen's expression soured. He hadn't expected the Supreme Qian Sect to go all out from the start, and he couldn't help but growl, "Do you really think I, Yang Chen, am a vegetarian?"

Boom, boom, boom...

A group of unfamiliar cultivators fought their way in, the weakest among them at the Divine Bridge Realm.

They began fighting the Supreme Qian Sect's cultivators.

Yang Chen, meanwhile, charged at Ye Suzhen.

"Back then, you thought yourself a proud daughter of heaven and made me break off our engagement without even showing your face! Today, I'll show you who's the true heaven's chosen!" Yang Chen shouted. Though he was only at the Divine Bridge First Layer, his strength was terrifying, and faint dragon scales appeared on his skin.

Yang Chen was circulating the Dragon Transformation Emperor Scripture!

His fleshly body was now like a dragon's, indestructible, and he launched a frenzied attack on Ye Suzhen.

Ye Suzhen was at the Divine Bridge Peak, but she wasn't particularly skilled at fighting. Besides, Yang Chen's foundation was far stronger than hers.

Because of that, the two were unexpectedly evenly matched, with Ye Suzhen even falling slightly behind.

"Do you see it now?!" Yang Chen shouted.

Ye Suzhen's face was cold, but she had to admit that Yang Chen was powerful.

Just then, Yang Chen's eyes abruptly turned cold.

Boom!

A figure appeared out of nowhere!

He was powerfully built, with a cold, hard face. His right shoulder was half-bared and marked with dragon and serpent patterns. Raising a hand, he struck at Ye Suzhen with a dragon-and-serpent divine ability.

The one who had ambushed her was Hua Yunye!

The attack rose like a dragon and serpent. Even though Ye Suzhen was on guard, she was still sent flying backward, coughing up blood.

Yang Chen pressed the advantage, a vicious look in his eyes. His right hand curled into a claw and reached straight for Ye Suzhen's eyes.

He really is going to gouge out my eyes! Ye Suzhen's face went deathly pale. Though she still had methods she hadn't used, there was no time for them now.

At that moment, Ye Suzhen finally understood why Li Daochen had told her to beware of the Night Ruins.

"The Supreme Profound Sacred Eye is mine!" Yang Chen's eyes blazed with desire.

But—

Boom!

A fist appeared, shattering stone and wood in every direction.

Li Daochen appeared in an instant, his punch twisting Yang Chen's fingers.

"Li Daochen!" Yang Chen growled, furious that he had stopped him from taking the Supreme Profound Sacred Eye, though he had also been waiting for him for a long time.

"Die!" Li Daochen shouted, raising his hand and unleashing the Great Sun White Dragon Sacred Fist.

"I'm fighting at full strength now. Do you think I'm still the same as before?" Yang Chen growled. Dragon features faintly emerged on his body, fierce and terrifying.

"I'll beat you all the same!" Li Daochen sneered. The two Holy Dragon Bones in his body erupted with power to reinforce his divine ability.

Boom... boom, boom, boom!

The white dragon roared, the great sun blazed at its zenith!

Li Daochen looked more like a massive dragon than Yang Chen did as he bore down on him!

For a moment, Yang Chen stumbled back again and again.

"How is that possible?!" Yang Chen cried.

He had opened all three hundred and sixty-five acupoints, possessed a heaven-defying foundation, and had even advanced to the Divine Bridge Realm. How could he lose to Li Daochen, who was still at the Spirit Foundation stage?

"That's the truth! So what if your realm is higher than mine? You're still no match for me!" Li Daochen shouted. As he fought Yang Chen, he also kept an eye on everything around him.

The Supreme Qian Sect had unleashed its full strength from the start, catching Yang Chen and his allies off guard. But as their plans unfolded, the Supreme Qian Sect lost its advantage.

Under Yun Mei'er's constant influence, the Heaven and Earth Life-Seizing Formation finally stopped working.

Considerable disturbances had also broken out elsewhere in the Supreme Qian Sect!

Just then—

Hua Yunye forced Ye Suzhen back and charged at him.

Li Daochen's eyes turned cold, and he shouted, "Explode!"

The already unstable Life-Seizing Formation exploded with a thunderous blast. The Five-Directions Heavenly Tribulation Formation rose in its wake, manifesting terrifying lightning overhead!

Yang Chen paused, then roared, "I've been waiting for you to unleash that move!"

Earlier, Yun Mei'er had grown wary when she saw Li Daochen stay inside the Life-Seizing Formation for three days.

So they had prepared to turn his own scheme against him!

At that moment, Yang Chen tore open a spiritual talisman. Ten streaks of black light shot out of it, heading straight for the Five-Directions Heavenly Tribulation Formation.

In an instant, the Heavenly Tribulation Formation was sealed, and the lightning that should have fallen froze in place.

"Formation-Sealing Spiritual Light can seal any grand formation for a hundred breaths. Didn't expect that, did you?" Yang Chen laughed, attacking Li Daochen from one side as Hua Yunye attacked from the other.

With the two of them joining forces, a hundred breaths was enough to kill Li Daochen!

But in the next instant—

The Five-Directions Heavenly Tribulation Formation also exploded with a thunderous blast, transforming into terrifying dragon-shaped chains.

These were the Dragon-Imprisoning Chains, a grand formation forged with a Demonic Dragon Bone at its core.

Beneath the Heaven and Earth Life-Seizing Formation and the Five-Directions Heavenly Tribulation Formation, there was yet another formation!

Drawing on the power of the first two formations, the Dragon-Imprisoning Chains were like a fiendish dragon breaking out of prison, raging without end.

One chain struck Hua Yunye and sent him flying, then slammed Yang Chen viciously into the ground!

He had lured Yun Mei'er into discovering him, making Yang Chen wary and prompting him to devise a countermeasure.

Then, the instant Yang Chen dealt with that killing move and let down his guard, a fatal blow would be waiting for him!

That was Li Daochen's plan!
