Breaking the Formation to Seize Treasure, an Assassination from the Shadows

The Primordial World was vast and boundless. As one of its more renowned divine mountains, Wuyi Mountain possessed an exceptionally exquisite and majestic environment.

The innate spiritual energy was so dense it was nearly liquid, with immortal herbs and spiritual roots growing freely everywhere.

Mountain ranges stretched on endlessly, clouds and rosy mists shrouded the peaks, and birds and beasts sang in chorus.

"So this is Wuyi Mountain!"

Looking at the sprawling mountains before him, Jing Chu could not help but subconsciously call out the name of this place.

His Primordial Spirit stirred slightly, and his divine sense spread outward, instantly covering hundreds of millions of li.

Within the range of his divine sense, not a blade of grass or a tree could escape Jing Chu's perception. Though no great senior power resided on Wuyi Mountain, it was not devoid of living beings.

It was not without living beings. Some weaker races had settled here because of Wuyi Mountain's special nature.

Their cultivation was not high, at most reaching the Longevity Golden Immortal realm.

Naturally, they posed no threat whatsoever to Jing Chu, so he could search Wuyi Mountain for the hidden Treasure-Dropping Copper Coin without concern.

Purification Divine Light radiated from Jing Chu's body as his fingers continuously formed calculations, attempting to locate the innate grand formation hidden upon Wuyi Mountain.

When a top-grade innate spiritual treasure was born, an innate grand formation would arise alongside it to protect it.

There had also been an innate grand formation on the island where Jing Chu had once been, guarding him before he took form.

After searching for a thousand years, he finally found it in a certain place on Wuyi Mountain.

This innate grand formation was hidden with extreme secrecy. Without sufficient fortune, it would be absolutely impossible to discover.

Fortunately, Jing Chu's fortune was quite extraordinary, ranking among the best even in the Primordial World.

"Purple Lightning Hammer, go!"

With a thought, the Purple Lightning Hammer flew from his spiritual platform and slammed heavily into the innate grand formation.

Purple mana waves brimming with an aura of destruction surged outward, and the innate grand formation immediately trembled violently.

Seeing that his attack was effective, Jing Chu immediately stopped holding back. The Purple Lightning Hammer carried boundless force intertwined with purple lightning as it descended again and again.

After more than a dozen strikes, the innate grand formation shattered at once.

Earth, fire, wind, and water spread outward continuously. Jing Chu himself was wrapped in immortal light, while Purification Divine Light spread out at once, enveloping everything that dispersed outward and ultimately purifying it into pure spiritual energy.

As long as one's strength was sufficient, the Purification Dao could purify all the myriad Daos of the heavens. It was an exceptionally remarkable Great Dao in the Primordial World.

Now, as earth, fire, wind, and water were illuminated by Jing Chu's divine light and purified into innate spiritual energy, this treasure land, which had remained hidden here since the birth of the Primordial World, was finally completely exposed upon the primordial land.

Once the innate grand formation was broken, the first thing revealed was a tea tree three to four thousand zhang tall.

"A high-grade innate spiritual root, the Wuyi Mountain Red Robe Tea Tree."

"It seems to possess the same wondrous effect as the Enlightenment Tea Tree, likewise helping cultivators comprehend the Dao. The only difference seems to be that this tea tree possesses an exceptional ability to gather spiritual energy."

Around the Wuyi Mountain Red Robe Tea Tree, the spiritual energy had completely liquefied. A casual breath alone was enough to save a hundred years of bitter cultivation.

"What an unexpected delight!"

Faced with such a spiritual root, Jing Chu was equally delighted. He immediately reached out, intending to store it within his sleeve.

But the moment he made a move, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

The Purple Lightning Hammer in his hand directly transformed into divine light and smashed toward his back.

Boom!

A tremendous roar, accompanied by endless purple lightning, filled this stretch of heaven and earth.

A figure was violently sent flying several thousand li, both hands severed as flesh and bone scattered through the air.

"A sneak attack from the shadows—is this the style of a Great Luo demon god from the Demon Court?"

Jing Chu's expression was displeased as he spoke in an extremely icy tone.

Taking advantage of this moment, he swept his sleeve and directly stored the Wuyi Mountain Red Robe Tea Tree within it.

At the same time, as Jing Chu stored the Wuyi Mountain Red Robe Tea Tree in his sleeve, a treasure light transformed into divine light and shot straight toward the distance.

Within that treasure light was a round copper coin with a square hole. Wings were attached to both sides of the coin, but most eye-catching of all were the Heavenly Dao patterns engraved upon it.

Seeing the treasure so close before him, Jing Chu's eyes lit up, and he immediately reached out to seize it in his hand.

For this was precisely the target of his journey: the top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Dropping Copper Coin!

"Stop!"

Seeing the treasure caught in Jing Chu's hand, the demon god who had been sent flying immediately flew into a rage. He took a fierce step forward, intending to stop him.

But an ordinary Great Luo posed little danger to the current Jing Chu.

Wrapped in irresistible force and purple lightning, the Purple Lightning Hammer once more smashed viciously into the demon god's body at terrifying speed.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The peerless force and purple thunder brimming with destruction directly pierced through the demon god's body. His face turned pale, and blood spurted continuously from his mouth like a fountain.

Every bone in his body was crushed to powder by that single blow, sending him flying hundreds of thousands of li.

The Treasure-Dropping Copper Coin clenched in Jing Chu's hand struggled with all its might to break free, but it was ultimately futile.

Yet the radiance of the top-grade innate spiritual treasure still bloomed, making the demon god sent flying burn with greed. He could not even be bothered to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"A top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Junior, this is not a fortuitous opportunity you should possess!"

"Hand over the treasure, and I can spare your life!"

"Otherwise, die!"

The demon god's body continuously expanded, gradually transforming from his Dao body into his true form.

The demon god's true form was actually a Nine-Headed Bird, incomparably enormous. Each of its nine heads flickered with an extraordinary aura of the Great Dao.

Violent Sha Qi continuously leaked from the Nine-Headed Bird's body, making it incomparably savage and ferocious. Its Sha Qi befouled the heavens and earth of the Primordial World, contaminating streams of innate spiritual energy nearby.

The Nine-Headed Bird was covered in black feathers and brimmed with savage Baleful Intent. With its wings spread, it stretched hundreds of thousands of zhang wide. Faced with such an enormous creature, an oppressive feeling naturally arose in one's heart.

"Die? With you?"

"Nothing but a Nine-Headed Bird that has only just entered Great Luo!"

"If you want to fight, then fight!"

Jing Chu's face was stern. Behind his Dao body, the pure Purifying World White Lotus blossomed at once.

Unlike the Nine-Headed Bird that spanned hundreds of thousands of zhang, the Purifying World White Lotus blooming behind Jing Chu was only around ten thousand meters in size, yet it radiated immense purifying power.

But as the Purifying World White Lotus blossomed, streams of Purifying World Divine Light shone outward, completely purifying the Sha Qi leaking from the Nine-Headed Bird's body.

At the same time, the merit Jing Chu had accumulated over the years by continuously helping the Primordial World purify Sha Qi caused the blooming Purifying World White Lotus to emit waves of pale golden light, making it appear even more sacred.

"What hateful light..."

Feeling the Purifying World Divine Light shining from behind Jing Chu, a look of disgust flashed through the Nine-Headed Bird's eyes. Dense killing intent rose within all eighteen of its pupils.

It could sense that the Sha Qi and savage Baleful Intent it had always been proud of were actually being restrained, even purified.

Since that was the case, the person before it had to die!
