The Uninvited Guest

With cultivators able to fly around freely, almost every immortal sect has its own Mountain Protecting Great Array to ensure the tranquility of its own mountain.

It can prevent unauthorized personnel from entering and exiting at will, and can also be used to defend against external enemies when necessary.

The Myriad Insect Valley also has Mountain Protecting Great Array, but it was built by an outside array cultivator, which doesn't quite fit the style of the Myriad Insect Valley. It is generally not activated unless it is absolutely necessary.

The moment the grand formation was activated, the once gloomy mountain gate of Myriad Insect Valley was suddenly showered with auspicious light, and tens of thousands of rainbow rays stretched across the mountain. The rainbow rays cooperated with each other to form an inverted circular barrier, enveloping the entire Myriad Insect Valley.

The air was filled with mist and clouds, creating a scene that could be described as ethereal and otherworldly.

This formation is visibly complex; if one doesn't understand formations, one can't break it by brute force alone.

As long as there is a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in charge of the array's core, and a certain number of mid-level cultivators to assist, it is enough to resist the invasion of an Integration stage expert.

Seeing that the formation was activating normally, before the cultivators of the Ten Myriad Insect Valley could even relax, they discovered that Lu Bai had no intention of stopping at all and rushed straight towards the formation barrier.

Their brazen behavior made the cultivators of the Myriad Insect Valley who were controlling the formation feel their hearts leap into their throats once again.

Lu Bai arrived at a position just one step away from the array barrier, and then actually reached out and touched it.

In an instant, both Mana powers became violent, attempting to erode the other in one fell swoop.

Like putting ice into a hot pan, the terrifying fluctuations distorted the space itself, and deep, dark cracks appeared along the edges.

This confrontation was filled with formidable destructive power. The mere overflow of magical Mana fluctuations was enough to make cultivators below the Golden Core stage unable to maintain their flight posture, falling one after another like dumplings being dropped into Second Company.

The cultivators of Myriad Insect Valley who were maintaining the formation were protected by the formation and were not affected by these fluctuations in Mana.

But just maintaining this stalemate was already exhausting them.

Ultimately, what is held for too long will eventually be lost; without someone to rotate the team, it simply cannot last long.

Most importantly, they were unsure whether this was Lu Bai's full strength, which left them completely uncertain.

If Lu Bai could hear their questions, he could give them a straightforward answer.

Of course not.

At this level, he's still a long way from giving it his all.

What is the concept of the Mahayana stage?

Once you survive the Lightning Tribulation and are baptized by immortal energy, you will be called an immortal.

There is nothing wrong with a cultivator in the Mahayana stage calling themselves a half-step immortal.

Lu Bai was well aware of just how vast his magical Mana was; it was only because of the Dao Injury to his Primordial Spirit Mana that he did not unleash it to its fullest extent.

To be honest, he's like a cracked porcelain faucet right now. If you turn the faucet all the way down at once, the immense water pressure could indeed break it.

However, adding water drop by drop will not have any effect.

His output efficiency was limited, but the overall quality remained the same.

It's no exaggeration to say that if it were only this level of Mana output, the output wouldn't even keep up with his replenishment, and the time he could sustain it would be measured in years.

By grinding it down like this, they'll eventually be able to break through the Mountain Protecting Great Array of Myriad Insect Valley.

However, Lu Bai was not satisfied with this.

He conducted a brief test and determined the maximum output power while ensuring his own safety.

"There's still room for manpower."

He calmed the flow of his Mana slightly, then placed his palm firmly on the array barrier. "Then shatter it."

Buzz~

A tidal wave of Mana surged forth from his palm in an instant.

Not to mention that this was already beyond the limit of the Mountain Protecting Great Array, the sudden increase in pressure left these cultivators from the Myriad Insect Valley with no chance to make amends.

The array barrier, constructed from countless rainbow rays, shattered into pieces on the spot, like a mirror thrown from a rooftop.

An immense, seemingly endless Mana surged forth, causing auspicious clouds to billow and peaks to collapse within the Myriad Insect Valley.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth resonated like an earthquake, or a tsunami. Just from this ever-spreading fluctuation of Mana, no one would doubt that the Myriad Insect Valley would survive such an attack. It was only a matter of time before it was razed to the ground.

The cultivators who originally came with Lu Bai to join in the fun just thought that they might be able to see powerful figures fighting, and it would be best if they could learn something from it. Even if they couldn't learn anything, they could still broaden their horizons.

But I never expected it to be such a shocking scene.

Those cultivators who had only heard of Lu Bai but had never witnessed him in action felt a chill run down their spines. Just how strong was this young powerhouse?

Several figures soared into the sky from the mountain gate of Myriad Insect Valley.

They are elders and renowned figures of the Myriad Insect Valley, all with Nascent Soul stage.

However, Lu Bai's performance made them understand why their Valley Master had run so fast.

"You brat! I'll fight you to the death!" A disheveled, rather wretched old man with bloodshot eyes charged straight at Lu Bai.

As a sect of immortals, even when faced with annihilation, many renowned figures would still choose to perish with their sect.

"Return."

A booming voice suddenly rang out.

The void behind the old man was suddenly torn open, and a large, golden, translucent hand reached out from the gap in the void, grabbed the old man, and took him away.

Then the void gradually began to close, and during this time, that deep sound once again came from the void.

"Lu Bai, is that it? You are indeed the most talented young man I have ever seen. It's a pity that too much rigidity leads to breakage. We will wait for you at the Qingwang Sect. Surely you don't want to see the sect that nurtured you wiped out, do you?"

Hearing these words, Lu Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Just as the void rift was about to close completely, he suddenly mobilized a massive torrent of Mana to crash into the void.

The Mana output expanded rapidly, like a rocket.

The void rift, which had already shrunk to only half a meter in diameter, was abruptly stopped from shrinking any further.

Lu Bai's smile grew even brighter, a smile that sent chills down one's spine, "Although I don't know who you are, when did I ever say you could leave?"

Before he finished speaking, he swiftly summoned the Immortal Dao Flower, using the chaotic Immortal Dao Flower and immortal charm emanating from it to stabilize his primordial Primordial Spirit.

As Lu Bai released more Mana, it was accompanied by profound Dao Patterns. These manifestations of the Great Dao rules were churning and surging, widening the void rift once again.

This is not a violent tearing apart, but a restoration based on the principles of Tao.

The cultivators who realized this were utterly horrified.

The Grand Elder of the Golden Scale Holy Land was immediately in a state of disbelief. Even though he could traverse the void with his physical body, he could never restore the void in this way.
