Silver Moon Descends Upon Heaven

Whoosh!

The silver moon flashed, and a beam of light almost solid in form shot straight toward Luo Chuan!

Wherever the beam passed, space churned and spiritual energy exploded.

"Silver Moon Descends Upon Heaven? Has Chu Yangping gone mad?!"

Elder Bai, who had rushed over from the imperial palace, turned pale with shock at the sight. He hurriedly took a jade seal from his robes.

The jade seal was the key to activating Jiuyao City's great protective formation!

As Elder Bai poured his vast spiritual power into it, the entirety of Jiuyao City instantly began to change.

A faint golden radiance shimmered across the surrounding city walls, while what sounded like a dragon's roar rose from within the imperial city.

A golden barrier condensed, enveloping the entire Jiuyao City within it.

However, the barrier formed somewhat too slowly and failed to completely cover the area where Luo Chuan stood.

By then, the beam had already reached Luo Chuan!

A gleeful look appeared in Chu Yunfei's eyes in the distance, and he almost burst into laughter.

You, a mere shopkeeper, think you can kill me? What a delusion!

In the end, didn't you still throw away your own life!

Yet when he saw what happened next, the expression on Chu Yunfei's face instantly froze, and his laughter caught in his throat.

Following his gaze, Luo Chuan had merely raised a single finger before him.

The beam instantly stopped in midair, as though an invisible heavenly chasm lay before it, preventing it from advancing even an inch!

One had to know that Chu Yangping possessed strength at the peak of Seeking the Way. Having unleashed Silver Moon Manor's supreme art, Silver Moon Descends Upon Heaven, even cultivators of the same realm would not dare receive it head-on!

Even though this was only a Divine Soul Projection, the Silver Moon Descends Upon Heaven he had unleashed still held several tenths of its power at his peak!

But now?

This young shopkeeper had actually blocked it without the slightest effort!

For a moment, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Chu Yunfei's heart.

Ding!

Luo Chuan flicked his finger, and a crisp ring resounded through the heavens.

What followed was a series of clear cracking sounds.

The beam was instantly covered in dense cracks, then shattered into countless motes of light that filled the sky, dreamlike beyond compare.

In midair, Chu Yangping watched Luo Chuan casually dissolve his attack below and frowned slightly.

At the instant Luo Chuan made his move, Chu Yangping had not sensed even the faintest trace of spiritual energy, which left him deeply puzzled.

Then, Chu Yangping shifted his gaze to the shop where Luo Chuan stood and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Could it be that this tiny shop contained some kind of enhancement formation?

Moreover, for a formation to empower someone enough to receive his attack so easily, its rank clearly could not be low.

For once, a trace of greed appeared in Chu Yangping's eyes.

"Destroy!"

A cold shout rang out, and the silver moon in the sky immediately blazed with silver light!

Several hundred beams condensed, carrying a heaven-destroying, earth-annihilating pressure as they hurtled toward Jiuyao City below!

"Manor Lord Chu, show mercy!"

Elder Bai's face went pale with alarm at the sight.

The city-protecting formation had yet to fully activate. If such an attack were to fall into the city, more than half of Jiuyao City would likely be reduced to ashes at once!

As they watched the anomaly in the sky, the residents of Jiuyao City trembled to the depths of their souls.

"Heavens! How could anyone possibly block an attack like this? Heaven is destroying us all!"

"I refuse to accept this! Why must people like us, ordinary folk without the strength to truss a chicken, be dragged into this?!"

"Heh... Is this the law among cultivators? The lives of the weak are no more than grass and weeds—nothing more..."

Yet Chu Yangping paid Elder Bai no heed. His Divine Soul Projection's eyes were filled with indifference.

In his eyes, what difference was there between the lives of these people throughout Jiuyao City and ants?
