The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was shrouded in white mist, its killing intent spilling across the wilderness.
Neither the disciples of the Mystic Gate nor those of the Demon Cult dared to approach, let alone enter the formation.
They could only stare wide-eyed, waiting for the final outcome!
Would the four Quasi-Saints triumph over Luohu!?
Or would the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation slay the four Quasi-Saints!?
Everyone.
Could only wait!
Because the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
Kept all living beings at bay.
Whoever entered, died!
Li Xuan also watched with rapt attention.
He naturally knew the final result of this great battle.
But knowing the outcome was one thing.
Watching the process was another!
This battle was in no way inferior to the later Investiture of the Gods Calamity.
That clash where Sect Master Tongtian fought one against four—though defeated, he won glory in his fierce struggle!
Five Quasi-Saints, half-step Heavenly Dao Saints, locked in slaughter.
It was utterly terrifying!
With a single glance, within those four Voids.
Infinite light erupted in an instant!
Boundless killing intent, sword cries, sword wills howled, and the void itself shattered!
At the same time.
The earth shook!
The tremors reached Li Xuan's location in an instant.
Then they spread deeper into the Primordial Wilderness!
Mount Sumeru rumbled, countless boulders collapsed!
This mountain could no longer withstand the might of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation!
Because Luohu could no longer spare it any thought.
He had to fully drive the formation's power!
"Damn it... get out of here!"
Seeing this, Li Xuan's heart leaped.
Without a second word, he soared into the air, transforming into a streak of fleeing light and flying into the distance.
As for the living beings of the Mystic Gate and the Demon Cult.
Perhaps a few clever ones knew to flee.
But most still waited!
After another dozen breaths, Luohu suddenly roared: "All of you must die!!"
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation could no longer contain its power!
Boom!!
The sky shattered!
The blue heavens split open into a vast black void!
Mount Sumeru exploded first!
Then the immense might swept in all directions!
Countless living beings wailed and screamed, then turned to ash!
Only those at the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and above.
Could roar and flee, barely escaping annihilation by the killing intent!
The western lands rumbled without cease.
With Mount Sumeru as the boundary, a rift slowly tore open—a million li wide, a billion li long!
Countless waters slowly converged.
This place would one day become an ocean.
This battle.
First, the Western Ox Continent and the Eastern Divine Continent were split apart!
The lingering echoes of the rumbling lasted for a good while before gradually dissipating.
Mount Sumeru was no more.
Of the billions of living beings the Mystic Gate had sent to exterminate the demons, only a few hundred thousand remained alive!
The Demon Cult's followers had also been struck by this indiscriminate attack, leaving only a hundred or so branch leaders at the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, eight supreme branch leaders at the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm, and the four generals: Wufawutian, Wuqing, and Wuxiang.
As for the other hundred-plus branch leaders, though they all possessed the strength of Primordial Unity Golden Immortals, because they were too close to the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, they simply couldn't withstand that killing force.
Naturally, they were dead beyond dead.
Tragic! Tragic! Tragic!
At this moment, nearly every living being was scared out of their wits!
But just then, another streak of escaping light flew over from afar.
After dodging a wave of the aftermath, that someone came back again.
Li Xuan gazed at the terrifying scene before him, clicking his tongue in amazement.
Good thing he had run fast...
The Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation was broken.
High in the sky, within the infinite void, the blue heavens seemed to have split open into a great hole.
Inside this hole, Luohu roared and howled in fury.
The four voids had already stopped spewing white mist.
"I want you all dead!!"
Luohu, fully unleashing the killing intent of the four swords, was willing to destroy the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation itself to make the four of them die!
The four voids blazed with radiant light, like four suns, revealing the desperate resistance and struggle of the four people within!
Then, from the first void, the roar of Yin Yang rang out.
"Luohu!! Even if I die, I'll take you with me to the grave!!"
Boom!!
With Yin Yang's words, an indescribably terrifying power suddenly erupted from within that void!
The entire world trembled.
Even the earth sank beneath it!
The void instantly went dark and extinguished!
Then it burst wide open!
Within, the Immortal-Severing Sword hung suspended in the air.
From its tip, strands of sword intent slowly seeped out, clearly weakened by more than ninety percent!
A Yin Yang Taiji Diagram fluttered unsteadily.
A strand of Heavenly Dao Primordial Violet Qi drifted gently!
As for Yin Yang Daoist?
He had already vanished!
He had actually self-destructed!
A Quasi-Saint, and one who was half a step into the Heavenly Dao Saint realm!
Far stronger than the Quasi-Saints of later ages!
The power of his self-destruction was beyond words!
The eye of the Immortal-Severing Sword formation was now fully open!
But the Immortal-Severing Sword itself was a supreme treasure, indestructible.
Thus, as it trembled slightly, it gradually began to emit sword intent and killing aura once more, bit by bit.
After a moment, the Immortal-Severing Array Eye would recover as if nothing had happened!
But Yin Yang's self-detonation naturally could not be without effect.
The immense backlash of power slammed back.
It directly made Luohu's entire body tremble.
Then, from the corners of his mouth and within his nostrils, blood began to flow outward.
Yet Luohu roared savagely: "Good death! Good death! You still wanted to drag me down with you!? Dream on!!"
"Luohu! You will surely die! I want your life! Ah!!"
It was at this moment that another despairing roar erupted from within another void.
Then, another boom!
That void instantly shattered, the earth collapsing.
That great fissure expanded even further.
A hurricane swept across the ground for millions of miles!
Qiankun Daoist, he too had self-detonated!
Luohu immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
His eyes and ears were all streaming with blood.
His entire body trembled without cease!
Within that void, the Immortal-Trapping Sword hung and quivered.
Its sword intent had diminished by more than ninety percent.
At the same time, a Heaven and Earth Qiankun Cauldron suppressed it from within.
A wisp of Heavenly Dao Primordial Violet Qi drifted slowly!
"Hahaha, ah hahahaha!"
Blood ceaselessly seeped from Luohu's entire body, but his aura grew ever more frenzied!
He looked up and laughed wildly, pointing a single finger, and the Immortal-Severing Sword and Immortal-Trapping Sword began to quiver again.
They rapidly spat out sword intent and killing intent, preparing to recast the array eyes.
"What about you two mangy dogs!? Why not self-detonate too!?"
As Luohu recast the Zhu Immortal Array Eyes, he shouted toward the two remaining array eyes.
"Boom rumble!"
Accompanying Luohu's words, one of the array eyes immediately emitted a series of rumbles.
But it was not as terrifying as a self-detonation.
The void suddenly blazed with light.
A Chaos Great Willow Tree, covered in wounds and cracks, flew straight out!
Willow Daoist had been forced into his true form!
But Willow Daoist had ultimately escaped.
The Chaos Great Willow Tree let out a piercing shriek: "A pity! A pity!! Heaven's Dao is unjust, letting the demon succeed!!"
With that, the Chaos Great Willow Tree soared into the sky.
Heading straight for the chaotic space above the nine heavens!
As Willow Daoist saw it, Luohu was surely going to win.
Though he could break free from the array eye, there was no other way but to flee!
Thus, Willow Daoist directly fled into the chaotic space, never again to appear in the Primordial Wilderness.
Surely Luohu could never find him.
From then on, one wisp of Heavenly Dao Primordial Violet Qi was lost...
That which is called the one that escapes...
Seeing this, Luohu laughed even more wildly!
He! Had victory in his grasp!
Of the four Zhu Immortal Array Eyes, the Immortal-Severing and Immortal-Trapping were gradually recovering.
As for the Immortal-Slaying, without suppression, it began to spew forth vast amounts of killing intent and sword intent.
Only the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation remained, its light flickering. Hongjun's fate within was unknown.
"Hongjun, you pup! If you beg for mercy now and become my dog, I'll spare your life! Hahahaha!"
Luohu stared at the sole remaining eye of the Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation, his voice dripping with arrogance.
But just then—
From the horizon, a burst of laughter rang out.
Three streaks of escaping light shot forth!
"They're here! They're here!"
Li Xuan's eyes suddenly blazed with light.
He thought to himself: Hongjun's Three Corpses! They've arrived! That bastard's about to turn the tables!
