Formation Mastery, Penglai Immortal Island

Rumble!!!

All of a sudden, deafening roars rang out one after another.

Within the Primordial Five-Element Grand Formation, five-colored divine radiance continuously transformed and circulated, the attacks it unleashed growing ever more violent.

The five indestructible divine lights crisscrossed and intertwined, turning into storms that filled the sky, like an enormous millstone of heaven and earth bent on grinding the two within into nothingness.

"Fifth Junior Brother, stand behind me and do not lose your composure!"

Duobao Daoist's expression was grave to the extreme. Faced with the might of such a world-destroying grand formation,

he knew he could no longer hold anything back.

Duobao Daoist's Daluo Golden Immortal mana surged wildly as he abruptly swept his sleeve.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

In the next moment, bursts of incomparably crisp sword cries suddenly rose, shattering the dead silence within the formation.

Visible to the naked eye, countless innate indestructible spiritual lights howled out from Duobao Daoist's sleeve and hovered in the air.

They densely interwove and gathered, forming a vast ocean of treasure light.

They were a full sixty-four immortal swords, ancient in style and emanating vast, pure auras!

The first four immortal swords had sword qi like dragons and dazzling divine light. They were all high-grade innate spiritual treasures.

Behind them, twenty mid-grade innate spiritual treasure swords connected heaven and earth, their talismans profound and wondrous.

Finally, forty low-grade innate spiritual treasure swords served as the formation's foundations, rapidly circulating and transforming throughout the four directions.

Sixty-four immortal swords: four high-grade, twenty mid-grade, and forty low-grade.

Under the command of Highest Pure mana, they instantly formed an exquisitely intricate sword formation at the nodes of space!

Boom!!!

As the sword formation took shape, countless sword qi transformed into torrents of indestructible defense.

They collided viciously with the crushing five-colored divine radiance.

Amid the savage five-element tides, they forcibly propped up a safe barrier spanning ten thousand zhang.

"Gasp! Senior Brother Duobao truly lives up to his name. He's absurdly wealthy!"

Witnessing this, Xuan Liu stood in a corner protected by the sword formation and secretly sucked in a breath of cold air.

An ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal of the Primordial World would already be considered blessed to possess one or two innate spiritual treasures.

Yet his own eldest senior brother had casually brought out sixty-four innate spiritual treasure swords of various grades.

He could even arrange them into a complete sword formation with its power fully unleashed.

The name Duobao truly was well deserved!

Such reserves, such wealth—he was truly at the level of a Primordial World tycoon.

However, the Primordial Five-Element Grand Formation had been naturally conceived from the origin of heaven and earth, endlessly regenerating.

It contained the principles of the rise and fall of the Great Dao. How could it be so easily resisted?

As the formation's power was further stimulated, green wood transformed into departing fire.

The departing fire then instantly evolved into the crushing weight of endless wu earth.

Through mutual generation and restraint, its power multiplied geometrically.

Rumble!

Dense impacts resounded as the sword formation Duobao Daoist had formed began to shake violently.

The Dao rhythms on the outermost forty low-grade innate spiritual treasure swords began to flicker and grow unstable.

The color gradually drained from Duobao Daoist's plump face, leaving it deathly pale.

To maintain the operation of the sixty-four immortal swords, the Daluo Golden Immortal mana within him was being consumed at an utterly terrifying rate.

His originally surging Daluo Golden Immortal mana was depleted by an enormous amount in merely a few moments.

The situation immediately became exceedingly perilous.

"This won't do. If I keep consuming my strength like this, I'm afraid I'll be drained to death." Duobao Daoist gritted his teeth, panic filling his heart.

At the critical moment when Duobao Daoist's mana was nearing exhaustion and he could no longer hold on,

Xuan Liu, who had been sitting cross-legged in the rear, had a lucid divine sense.

His gaze locked tightly onto the continuously circulating five-colored lines and patterns of law around them.

Then, a vast voice rang out once more from the deepest depths of Xuan Liu's sea of consciousness.

[Ding dong.]

[Detected that the host is observing the Primordial Five-Element Grand Formation at close range. You have directly witnessed the underlying logic of the mutual generation and restraint of heaven and earth's five elements.]

[Your innate cheat, heaven-defying comprehension, has been triggered.]

[You have entered the deepest state of unity between heaven and man.]

[You have attained enlightenment.]

[You have comprehended: Formation Mastery.]

Buzz!

As the notification fell silent in his mind, Xuan Liu felt his true spirit and thoughts stretch infinitely in an instant.

The five-colored divine radiance that had originally been obscure, violent, and utterly without pattern became exceptionally clear in his eyes.

Which node was life, which node was death, and when the laws alternated and evolved—he saw it all with perfect clarity.

At this moment, every formation beneath heaven and earth held no secrets from him.

His heaven-defying comprehension had actually allowed him to comprehend Formation Mastery.

With Formation Mastery, he should be able to locate the formation eye and break the Primordial Five-Element Grand Formation.

With that thought, Xuan Liu spread out his divine sense and searched for traces of the formation eye.

"Found it!"

Emerald light condensed in Xuan Liu's eyes. Seized by sudden inspiration, he shouted to Duobao Daoist ahead of him, "Eldest Senior Brother! Stop blindly clashing against the formation!"

"Quickly use your high-grade innate spiritual treasures to strike the quicksand at the northwest Zhen position!"

Duobao Daoist was barely holding on. Hearing this, his entire body shook.

He did not hesitate in the slightest. At this point, he could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.

Perhaps his Fifth Junior Brother, who had comprehended the wondrous methods of Highest Pure in an instant, was right.

Rather than dying miserably inside the Primordial Five-Element Grand Formation, he might as well stake everything on one attempt.

"Break for this Daoist!!!"

Duobao Daoist roared. The instant the quicksand emerged at the northwest Zhen position, he formed a sword with two fingers and stabbed fiercely forward.

The four high-grade innate spiritual treasure swords hovering at the four extremes erupted, their ten-thousand-zhang sword qi tearing through the void.

Bearing the supreme power of the Law of Destruction, they struck the formation eye with flawless precision.

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound rang out, and the formation eye instantly exploded.

Having lost its balance, the once-invincible Primordial Five-Element Grand Formation twisted wildly.

It collapsed inch by inch in the void above the sea before finally turning into countless rays of auspicious light and vanishing.

"Whew! Whew..."

With the formation broken, Duobao Daoist gathered the sixty-four immortal swords into his sleeve and let out a long breath.

Before he had time to say anything to Xuan Liu,

their gazes were simultaneously drawn tightly to the sight below.

As the Primordial Five-Element Grand Formation completely dissipated,

the dark gray sea below was forcibly split apart by an unparalleled mighty force.

As layers of sea mist scattered, an immense immortal island of unknown billions of miles, overflowing with immortal aura to the extreme,

rose from the deepest seabed with a thunderous roar, breaking through the waves and revealing itself.

Upon the island, hundreds of millions of rays of innate auspicious light descended.

The spiritual qi was already so dense that it had transformed into layers of mist, shrouding every corner of the land.

At the very center of the immortal island stood a thousand-zhang stone stele.

Two Great Dao divine runes, radiating dazzling mysterious light, visibly flickered upon it, their fluctuations spreading across the four seas.

Penglai!
