The Great Sumeru Positive and Negative Nine Palaces Formation, said to withstand all arts and whose might no one had ever dared test, had actually been shattered by Yuan Tianyi through sheer force!
Was this the power of a true immortal of legend?!
Within the Kunlun Nine Layered Islands, the peerless astral energy released when the Great Sumeru Positive and Negative Nine Palaces Formation was forcibly broken, along with the power of the three World-Destroying Arts unleashed by Yuan Tianyi, swept wildly in every direction! Countless Kunlun disciples were instantly blasted by the boundless pressure until their Primordial Spirits were gravely damaged, blood spraying from their mouths.
Upon the nine-layered islands soaring ten thousand fathoms high, countless magnificent palaces and buildings were crushed into dust in an instant!
Even the places merely grazed by the scattered power saw walls collapse, trees uprooted, and Spirit Beasts howl in agony.
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, flames and lightning danced, and billions of tons of seawater were swept into the heavens before falling as torrential rain. Every raindrop was the size of a millstone. Kunlun, once like an immortal realm, had become a purgatory of the Yellow Springs!
"How dare you offend Kunlun!"
Kunlun had ruled the Daoist sects of the world for over a thousand years. Its masters of extraordinary cultivation were as numerous as the hairs of an ox. Almost the instant Yuan Tianyi unleashed the first Heavenly Sound Gui Water Divine Thunder, several people could no longer restrain themselves and shot into the sky!
A streak of seven-colored rainbow light, like a rainbow piercing the sun; ninety-one chilling black rays; and five streams of colored cloud-mist swept toward Yuan Tianyi together.
Buddhist fire, refined from the pure yang energy through the wondrous applications of the innate Kan and Li; Separation and Combination Divine Light, which could attack an enemy the moment the mind stirred!
Ninety-one Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon-Avoiding Divine Shuttles, shaped like weaving shuttles, forged from thousand-year deep-sea refined iron and tempered with ten-thousand-year cold ice—supremely icy and freezing one's Primordial Spirit before they even came close!
The Grand Unity Five Smoke Net, refined by gathering the spiritual energy of five-colored cloud essence through Five Elements restrictions, capable of changing size at will and unafraid of magical treasures or flying swords!
Kunlun's thousand-year prestige and its Daoist Arts, acknowledged as the finest under heaven, were naturally no empty boast. These three were all outstanding figures among Kunlun's current second-generation disciples, their cultivation no weaker than the heads of ordinary sects. They also worked together with great tacit understanding. The Separation and Combination Divine Light struck at a thought, swift as lightning and enough to catch an opponent utterly off guard. The Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon-Avoiding Divine Shuttles possessed astonishing might, their ninety-one divine shuttles changing in endless variations for the main attack, while the Grand Unity Five Smoke Net was a magical treasure of formidable defense.
Thus, although the three of them did not all directly unleash offensive spells or magical treasures, the power of their coordinated assault was several times greater than that of ordinary cultivators simultaneously releasing offensive spells and treasures.
The power of spells and magical treasures in battle often depended not only on the spells and treasures themselves, but also on whether they were used skillfully. Over the centuries, many cultivators of the inner elixir Dao who had reached the Heart Movement Stage had been defeated by cultivators whose cultivation had only reached the Fusion Stage. These three were clearly true masters, not pedantic cultivators who only knew how to cultivate and knew nothing of combat.
Yet the combined strike of these three had struck empty air!
When using spells and magical treasures in battle, one generally locked onto the opponent's position with Spiritual Sense, and the attack would arrive in the blink of an eye. The opponent could also release spells and treasures in response, but attacks very rarely missed.
How was that possible?!
All three had their Primordial Spirits jolt, because they discovered that the reason their attack had missed was that they had lost their senses of him. Yuan Tianyi's trace had vanished from their Spiritual Sense.
All methods returned to one, transforming into nothingness!
I am heaven, I am earth—this was the realm of nothingness Yuan Tianyi had spoken of to Luo Bei!
Yuan Tianyi took one step through the void, seeming to cross the boundaries of space and time. The Separation and Combination Divine Light, unleashed at a thought, and the Nine Heavens Ten Earths Demon-Avoiding Divine Shuttles that had flown toward him from all directions like black threads had already missed, falling behind him. A golden ray shot from Yuan Tianyi's hand and instantly blasted apart the seven-colored rainbow light conjured by the Grand Unity Five Smoke Net.
The three people struck head-on by the golden light were sent flying backward, crashing into the deep sea with a thunderous boom. Whether they lived or died was unknown.
With a mere gesture, he broke Kunlun's Great Sumeru Positive and Negative Nine Palaces Formation and crushed three great Kunlun masters! Only now did Yuan Tianyi truly reveal his strength!
"Yuan Tianyi, Sect Master of Luofu Sect?"
At that moment, upon the fifth ring island of Kunlun Ring Island's nine layers, stood the woman in purple palace attire, her face veiled in light gauze, who had descended into Luofu's miasma-filled valley that day as though embracing the moonlight filling the sky. The radiant light emitted by the twelve translucent pearls circling her body shielded both her and a little girl, who stared blankly at the sky and repeated those words amid the cries of alarm around her. The scattered power, flying rocks, and water droplets all turned to powder the moment they struck that radiance. Though the little girl with two tiny hair buns was young, she was exquisitely delicate, spiritual charm flowing from her features. Judging by her figure and the contours of her face, one could be certain that when she grew up, she too would possess beauty beyond compare and peerless grace, just like the woman in palace attire beside her, as though she were an immortal fairy. The girl held a tree branch in her hand, and several drawings had been traced in the sand before her. Yet those drawings seemed all identical, each depicting the same person: a ragged youth.
In truth, this girl often came to this beach to draw. Otherwise, the woman in palace attire beside her would not have found her at once and used a magical treasure to protect her.
But why did she always draw here, always drawing the same picture? Perhaps only she herself knew the true reason. Or perhaps, because she was so young, she simply did not wish to forget the appearance of the person in the drawing.
At this moment, Yuan Tianyi, standing proudly in the void above Kunlun like a demon god, would likewise be branded deep into the minds of every Kunlun disciple!
One man challenging Kunlun, the foremost sect under heaven, with a hundred thousand disciples!
The heaven-destroying, earth-ruining pressure pouring madly down from the void made the Primordial Spirits of the overwhelming majority of Kunlun disciples tremble so violently that they could not even wield their spells or magical treasures.
What overwhelming majesty!
"Splendid! Worthy indeed of the Sect Master of Luofu Sect!"
Under such pressure, even Kunlun disciples of profound cultivation whose hearts were resolute and whose Primordial Spirits remained unaffected felt fear arise within them, not daring to easily make an enemy of Yuan Tianyi. Yet the wild man in red robes before the Bone Scripture Banner on the third ring island, his face hidden behind a silver mask, instead let out earth-shaking laughter. "Hahahaha!"
With every burst of wild laughter, echoes like mountains collapsing and earth splitting answered him from the nine heavens!
His laughter alone had already stirred the thunder beyond the ninth heaven!
"What an arrogantly defiant Yuan Tianyi! Come, today we shall see whether you are stronger, or I am stronger! Haha! King Huang, go!"
And that was not all. Amid his earth-shaking laughter, the red-robed man patted the head of the strange beast crouching at his feet, its back marked with black and yellow patterns, then shot into the sky. The surging fluctuations of power pouring from his body instantly turned the entire sky black.
A point of black light shot from his hand. It appeared as a tiny black speck, yet in an instant it expanded without limit. Above and below Yuan Tianyi, across thousands of qing of sea and sky, black clouds instantly blanketed everything! The outward shape of those thousands of qing of black clouds was faintly that of a completely black pagoda spire, as though cast from iron. Its surface was densely covered with countless scripture inscriptions and images, the characters as tiny as ants and each picture no larger than a little fingernail, too minute to distinguish like micro-carvings.
Rumble! Rumble!
Within the black clouds, endless lightning and black-red streaks of flame poured down, growing ever denser. In the blink of an eye, fireballs as large as bushel baskets and meteors were mixed among them, crashing down together. Countless astral winds, some even condensed into solid forms, weaved through the storm. It seemed that every sound in the world had been drowned out by the roar of the flames, astral winds, and thunder!
Strands of black-red flame fell one after another. The instant they landed in the sea, the surface of the thousands of qing of water, already blackened, suddenly turned white!
Fish, shrimp, snakes, turtles... That abruptly spreading whiteness was the corpses of countless billions of living creatures in those waters!
And those billions of corpses that had turned the entire sea white were immediately reduced to flying ash amid the blazing flames and astral winds.
"World-Destroying Mara Banner!" On an island by the sea beyond the reach of the naked eye, several cultivators around a shattered pill furnace turned deathly pale.
The moment this red-robed man, arrogant to the extreme, made his move, he had directly unleashed the World-Destroying Mara Banner—a treasure that, once activated, could stir the sun, moon, and stars of the heavens, release poisonous stellar fire, blazing flames, nine-heaven thunder, and astral winds, and return everything within a thousand li to primordial chaos!
"General Luo!" Yuan Tianyi's voice still emerged coolly from the black-red poisonous fire filling the sky. The faint glow emitted by the crescent-shaped jade disc forced away all the poisonous fire and thunderous astral winds that would annihilate body and soul upon contact.
General Luo! This red-robed man wearing a silver mask was actually General Luo, one of the Ten Golden Immortals of Kunlun, said by cultivators throughout the world to possess the loftiest cultivation in Kunlun and to have reached the realm of immortality and indestructibility!
"You alone dare become my enemy?" Yet Yuan Tianyi stepped out of the black clouds and merely spoke those words in an even tone.
"Haha! Yuan Tianyi, you truly are even more... arrogant than I am!" Seeing Yuan Tianyi rush out, General Luo reached out and grabbed. Five pale, profound rays as thick as water barrels tore through the air and struck straight at Yuan Tianyi's head. Yuan Tianyi casually formed a hand seal, and dozens of golden lotuses the size of bowls bloomed from thin air. When they collided with the five pale, profound rays, both the pale light and the golden lotuses vanished. Yuan Tianyi's expression did not change, but General Luo's body trembled, and a faint muffled groan sounded beneath his mask.
In a single exchange, General Luo, arrogant to the extreme and seemingly dismissive even of heaven and earth, had apparently suffered a small loss.
"Yuan Tianyi's cultivation truly transcends the mortal world!"
For a moment, this thought flashed through the hearts of the highly ranked Kunlun figures watching the battle from the various ring islands!
"What powerful Empty Life Extinguishing Sea Glazed Art! It seems that I truly am no match for you alone!" After that muffled groan, General Luo's voice resounded throughout Kunlun as well.
Even General Luo himself admitted that he had suffered a small loss at Yuan Tianyi's hands in their first exchange! Yet General Luo's voice seemed even more arrogant and overbearing than before!
"Haha! Since that is the case, then I shall add another person!" Amid earth-shaking laughter, a stream of black qi surged from the crown of General Luo's head!
