The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was shrouded in white mist, its killing intent blanketing the wilderness.
The disciples and living beings on both sides didn't dare approach, much less enter the formation.
All they could do was stare wide-eyed and wait for the final outcome!
Would the four Quasi-Saints defeat Luohu!?
Or would the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation kill the four Quasi-Saints!?
Everyone.
Could only wait!
Because the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
Was a place no man or beast could approach.
Whoever entered would die!
Li Xuan watched with rapt attention.
He naturally knew the eventual outcome of this great battle.
But knowing the outcome was one thing.
Watching it unfold was another!
This battle was every bit as intense as the later Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
The battle where Sect Master Tongtian fought four opponents was fierce enough to make even defeat honorable!
Five Quasi-Saints, each halfway to becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint, were fighting to the death.
It was terrifying beyond measure!
At a glance, within those four Void openings,
countless rays of light erupted in an instant!
Boundless killing intent, sword cries, and sword intent roared as space itself shattered!
At the same time.
The earth shook as well!
The aftershock soon reached Li Xuan.
Then it swept away toward the depths of the Primordial Wilderness!
Mount Sumeru rumbled as countless rocks crumbled!
The mountain was about to buckle under the power of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!
Luohu could no longer afford to worry about it.
He had to unleash the full might of the sword formation!
"Damn it... We need to get out of here, fast!"
At the sight of this, Li Xuan's heart gave a sudden jolt.
Without another word, he shot into the air and fled into the distance as a streak of light.
As for the Mystic Gate's living beings and the Demon Cult's followers,
perhaps a few clever ones knew to run.
But most were still waiting!
A dozen or so breaths later, Luohu suddenly roared, "You're all going to die!!"
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation could no longer contain its power!
Boom!!
The sky shattered!
The blue firmament split open, revealing a vast expanse of black Void!
Mount Sumeru exploded first!
Then the tremendous force swept in every direction!
Countless living beings wailed and shrieked before vanishing into dust!
Only those at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm or above
could flee with a roar, barely escaping being annihilated by the killing intent!
The western land rumbled without end.
With Mount Sumeru as its boundary, it slowly split open, forming a rift a million li wide and tens of millions of li long!
Countless streams of water flowed toward it.
This place would surely become an ocean someday.
This battle
had first split the Western Ox Continent from the Eastern Victory Divine Continent!
The aftershocks rumbled on for a while before gradually fading.
Mount Sumeru was gone.
Of the billion living beings from the Mystic Gate who had come to exterminate the Demon Cult,
only a little over a hundred thousand were left alive!
The Demon Cult's followers had also been battered by the indiscriminate attack.
Only a hundred or so helmsmen at the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm remained,
along with eight chief helmsmen at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm,
as well as the Four Generals Wufawutian, Wuqing, Wuxiang, and Wuxiang.
As for the other hundred or so helmsmen,
they had all been Grand Unity Golden Immortals.
But they had been too close to the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
They simply couldn't withstand its killing force.
Naturally, they were dead beyond a doubt.
Tragic! Tragic! Tragic!
Nearly every living being was scared out of their wits!
Just then, another streak of light flew in from the distance.
After dodging a round of aftershocks, someone had come back.
Li Xuan looked at the terrifying scene before him and clicked his tongue in amazement.
Good thing he had run fast...
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation had been broken.
Above, an endless expanse of Void stretched across the sky, as if a massive hole had been torn in the blue firmament.
Inside it, Luohu roared furiously.
The four Void openings no longer spewed white mist.
"I'll kill you all!!"
Luohu had unleashed the full killing power of all four swords. He would rather destroy the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation than let the four men live!
The four Void openings blazed with light, like four suns.
They revealed the desperate resistance and struggle of the four men within!
Then, a roar from Yin Yang rang out from one of the openings.
"Luohu!! Even if I die, I'll take you down with me!!"
Boom!!
As Yin Yang spoke, a boundless and terrifying force erupted from the opening!
The entire world trembled.
The earth sank beneath its force!
The Void opening instantly went dark.
Then it burst wide open!
The Immortal-Severing Sword hung suspended within.
Its tip slowly breathed out wisps of sword intent.
Its power had clearly weakened by more than ninety percent!
The Yin Yang Taiji Diagram shook violently.
A wisp of Heavenly Dao Primordial Violet Qi drifted slowly through the air!
As for Daoist Yin Yang?
He had vanished completely!
He had blown himself up!
A Quasi-Saint—and one halfway to becoming a Heavenly Dao Saint, at that!
He was far stronger than any Quasi-Saint in later generations!
The force of his self-destruction was beyond description!
The Immortal-Severing Sword Array Eye had been completely opened!
But the Immortal-Severing Sword was a supreme treasure and could not be destroyed.
So after swaying slightly, the sword gradually began to breathe out sword intent and killing intent again.
It seemed that after a while, the Immortal-Severing Array Eye would recover completely!
Still, Yin Yang's self-destruction had not been without effect.
The enormous force rebounded.
It made Luohu shudder from head to toe.
Blood flowed from the corners of his mouth and from his nostrils.
But Luohu roared savagely, "Good! Good! You think you can take me down with you!? Dream on!!"
"Luohu! You're doomed! I'll have your life! Aah!!"
Just then, another despairing roar came from a different Void opening.
Then came another tremendous boom!
The opening shattered in an instant, and the earth collapsed.
The massive rift widened further,
as a hurricane swept across the ground for thousands of li!
Daoist Qiankun had blown himself up too!
Luohu spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.
Blood flowed from his eyes and ears.
His whole body trembled uncontrollably!
Inside the Void opening, the Immortal-Trapping Sword hung suspended, shaking.
More than ninety percent of its sword intent had vanished.
At the same time, the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Cauldron suppressed the space within.
A wisp of Heavenly Dao Primordial Violet Qi drifted slowly through the air!
"Hahaha! Ahahahaha!"
Blood poured from Luohu's body without end, but his aura grew ever more frenzied!
He threw his head back and laughed wildly, then pointed with one hand. The Immortal-Severing Sword and the Immortal-Trapping Sword shook again.
They began rapidly releasing sword intent and killing intent, preparing to rebuild the formation's eye.
"Only you two bitches are left! Why don't you blow yourselves up too!?"
Luohu rebuilt the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation's eyes
while shouting at the two that remained.
"Rumble!"
At Luohu's words,
one of the formation's eyes began to rumble.
But it wasn't as terrifying as a self-destruction.
The Void opening suddenly blazed with light.
A Chaos Great Willow Tree, covered in wounds and cracks, flew straight out!
Willow Daoist had been forced to reveal his true form!
But Willow Daoist had managed to escape.
The Chaos Great Willow Tree let out a piercing cry. "A pity! What a pity!! The Heavenly Dao is unjust! It has let this fiend prevail!!"
With that, the Chaos Great Willow Tree rose into the air.
It headed straight for the Chaos beyond the Ninth Heaven!
Willow believed that Luohu was sure to win.
He might have escaped from the formation's eye,
but he had no choice except to flee!
So Willow fled straight into the Chaos.
He would never show himself in the Primordial Wilderness again.
Surely Luohu would never be able to find him.
From then on, one wisp of Heavenly Dao Primordial Violet Qi would be gone...
It was the one that had escaped...
Seeing this, Luohu laughed even harder!
He had victory in his grasp!
Of the four Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation eyes, the Immortal-Severing and Immortal-Trapping eyes were gradually recovering.
With no one suppressing the Immortal-Slaying eye, it began spewing out vast amounts of killing intent and sword intent.
Only Zhuxian remained, its light flickering. No one knew what had become of Hongjun inside.
"Hongjun, you little dog! If you beg me for mercy now and become my dog, I won't kill you! Hahahahaha!"
Luohu stared at the sole remaining eye of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, his voice brimming with arrogance.
But just then—
Laughter rang out again and again from the horizon.
Three streaks of escaping light shot toward them!
"They're here! They're here!"
Li Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up.
He shouted inwardly, Hongjun's Three Corpses! They're here! That bastard's about to turn the tables!
