The Might of Immortal Slaying, the Totem Cultivation Method

"Immortal-Slaying Formation Diagram!"

Chen Yang was instantly overjoyed and shouted inwardly.

At that moment, endless Sword Qi spread out.

The four killing swords surpassed all imagination. Boundless Killing Intent spread, sweeping up vast Killing Intent and turning the East Sea into an ocean of slaughter.

From within that extreme Killing Intent came a terrifying wave that swept toward Xihe's avatar.

"What... the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation? One person alone can manifest the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation? This..." Xihe found it unbelievable.

Yet the truth lay before her. The Slaying Immortals Sword Formation had taken shape, with endless Killing Intent converging and boundless murderous intent permeating the air.

With a ringing clang, Sword Qi howled as the sword formation spread!

In an instant, the entire Primordial World could sense a faint tremor in their hearts!

Many people noticed that something was wrong. They sensed the changes in the Killing Intent and felt the stirrings of the sword formation.

Kunlun, Yuxu Palace.

The disciples of the Exposition Sect vaguely sensed the interweaving Killing Intent.

Guangchengzi could not help but ask, "Master, it seems that between Heaven and Earth..."

Yuanshi wore a strange expression. Looking at Guangchengzi and the many other disciples, he flicked his sleeve. "Sigh... Tongtian truly has a fine grand-disciple..."

As he spoke, the Mystic Light Mirror appeared, displaying the scene at the Eastern Sea Coast.

Guangchengzi and the others saw the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation blotting out the heavens and covering the earth. The formation spanned ten thousand zhang, blotting out the sky and sun. The four killing swords that shot into the heavens had each grown to a thousand zhang, like heavenly pillars poised to envelop the East Sea.

"...Isn't that the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation? Chen Yang—how could it be him..."

Guangchengzi cried out in alarm.

At Shouyang Mountain, Laozi was likewise disturbed.

Naturally, Chen Yang knew nothing of any of this.

At this moment, Chen Yang could clearly feel just how fragile his physical body was.

Even though he had cultivated the Nine-Turn Profound Art to the seventh turn, he still found it difficult to bear the pressure of such a vast sword formation.

Had it not been for the pure energy Tongtian had sent to protect Chen Yang's body, Chen Yang would likely have shattered long ago.

Feeling his energy rapidly drain away, Chen Yang knew he could not delay any longer. Looking at Xihe's avatar in the distance, he sneered. "Xihe... it is time to send this avatar of yours on its way..."

As Chen Yang spoke, the sword formation descended, and endless Sword Qi swept forth.

In an instant, the sword formation devoured endless Killing Intent and boundless energy, transforming them into ultimate Sword Qi.

Endless killing intent surged within that Sword Qi, making the entire East Sea seem as though it had been wrapped in Killing Intent.

"Slash..."

In an instant, Chen Yang swung his arm, controlling the sword formation as it struck toward Xihe's avatar in the distance.

The scene created by that sweeping Sword Qi was utterly horrifying.

With one slash, it shook antiquity and the present.

Time and space were severed. Sword Qi stretched across hundreds of millions of li, as though it could slaughter its way from the East Sea into the West Sea.

Everything in its path became a sacrifice to the Sword Qi.

That single sword could destroy stars, wipe out the Demon Race, and seemed capable of annihilating everything.

Beneath that sword, Xihe's avatar could neither withstand it nor evade it. It was like a fate already locked in place; she could only become a sacrifice to the Sword Qi.

Xihe's expression changed, her features grave as she had no idea how to deal with it.

In the end, Xihe ignited her avatar and controlled the Moon Essence Wheel, turning it into a Lunar Star.

Once that star took shape, it also drew upon the stars in the firmament, condensing the transformations of the heavens.

At that moment, the Moon Essence Wheel truly seemed to have transformed into a Lunar Star.

But even so, what could it do?

Under the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation, the Lunar Star was instantly severed, and the star was destroyed in a flash.

Xihe's avatar did not even have time to transmit anything before she was utterly submerged by Sword Qi, incapable of putting up any resistance.

Yue Chan revealed a horrified expression as well. She had already sensed the aura of death and cried out, "Heavenly Empress... save me..."

Sadly, before her words could fade, Chen Yang flicked his sleeve, scattering Sword Qi that submerged Yue Chan.

Yue Chan was not even comparable to Xihe's avatar. How could she possibly withstand the Sword Qi? In the end, she was swallowed by Sword Qi and turned to ash.

Yue Chan's death did not stir the slightest ripple.

Chen Yang looked once more toward the Eastern Sea Coast and spotted a few members of the Demon Race. Immediately, endless Sword Qi flowed forth and obliterated them.

Chen Yang maintained the sword formation and bore its enormous burden, determined to slaughter every member of the Demon Race along the Eastern Sea Coast. Everywhere it passed, the Demon Race there was cut down by Sword Qi.

After a long while, not a trace of the Demon Race remained in the area.

Chen Yang gradually withdrew the Sword Qi. Staring coldly at the heavens, he said, "The Eastern Sea Coast is forbidden territory for the Demon Race. Whoever dares come will be killed. The enmity between humans and demons will one day make the Demon Race pay the price."

Chen Yang shouted, and the surging Sword Qi gradually dissipated.

Maintaining the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation consumed far too much. Chen Yang's physical body could barely endure the formation's pressure. Had Tongtian not given him energy to sustain it, his body would have collapsed long ago.

Moreover, beneath the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation, his mind had fused with the Four Immortal-Slaying Swords. That too was an ultimate test for his mind.

His ability to persist until now had come from his will and his hatred for the Demon Race. Now that he had dealt with so many enemies, Chen Yang dispersed the Sword Qi. Unable to hold on any longer, he fell unconscious once again.

When Chen Yang woke, he discovered that he was still within the Human Clan.

However, upon awakening, he saw his master Duobao, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Duobao's plump figure seemed even plumper than before. Looking at Chen Yang, he said, "You brat... you finally woke up. You truly dared to act recklessly..."

Hearing this, Chen Yang could not help but feel somewhat embarrassed. "Master... why are you here? Also, how long was I unconscious this time?"

"How long? You were unconscious for a full hundred years. Do you think the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation is so easy to control? Even with your grandmaster helping from behind the scenes, the burden brought by the sword formation is not something easily endured." Duobao spoke angrily. Looking at Chen Yang, he truly wanted to beat him up.

Chen Yang gave a sheepish smile and did not dare argue.

In the blink of an eye, ten thousand years passed.

Buzhou Region, a Wu Tribe settlement.

Ever since Chen Yang had arrived in the settlement, he had mostly remained in the library, reading and comprehending its ancient texts.

It had to be said that the texts stored in the Wu Tribe's library were absolutely beyond comparison with those in the libraries of the Three Sects. They included Eastern Sovereign's collections, the collections of the Dragon-Phoenix-Qilin Three Clans, and the insights of many Zixiao Guests.

[You have comprehended many treasures of knowledge. Combining them with your own profound accumulation, you have created the Totem Cultivation Method!]

Chen Yang received the information and found it roughly aligned with what he had created. "Not bad, not bad... The Totem Cultivation Method is a simplified version of 'Body-Forged Formation.' It takes the most basic visualization methods of the Primordial World and forms them into special formation patterns. Then, using special materials, those patterns are inscribed upon the human body. Simply put, it is still an art of talismans, using the surface of the human body as talisman paper to inscribe formation patterns and visualization methods.

"Afterward, the visualization tattoos inscribed upon the skin will draw in spiritual energy. Depending on the object being visualized, they will temper and strengthen the physical body. Over time, more tattoos can be inscribed to form a special totem. These totems are built from formation patterns one by one and possess special effects."

Chen Yang murmured as he pondered every aspect of the Totem System. In truth, the Totem System had originated from cultivation systems in certain ancient novels within Chen Yang's memories. In the end, he had perfected it by relying on visualization methods from the Primordial World, Body-Forged Formation, methods of faith, and more.

At this thought, Chen Yang could no longer wait to test it.

Several years later, Chen Yang was within the settlement, among the Human Clan. The humans living in the Wu Tribe settlement approved of Chen Yang's intentions. Though they had lived among the Wu Tribe for a long time, many still considered themselves members of the Human Clan. Furthermore, the cultivation methods practiced by the Human Clan were varied and diverse. After all, the Wu Tribe's body-tempering methods could be cultivated by human-Wu hybrids, but they were somewhat difficult for ordinary humans to cultivate.

Thus, when Chen Yang said that he had created a new system and needed members of the Human Clan to test it, they all agreed.

To this end, Chen Yang brought out numerous materials and inscribed the most basic formations. He first turned the visualization methods he had comprehended into formation patterns and inscribed them upon the bodies of the Human Clan.

The deities nurtured by the Five Elements within the body were inscribed upon human skin through special patterns, forming unique tattoos. As the tattoos took shape, the patterns and deities inscribed within them automatically drew in energy and fused it into the human body, tempering the flesh. Furthermore, those tattoos had necessarily been created through visualization methods. Thus, during cultivation, they would automatically visualize those methods as well, tempering the Primordial Spirit or comprehending the Dao charm within them.

As success came, Chen Yang inscribed even more things. Visualization objects containing the Dao charm of the Five Elements, stars containing the Three Talents, many spiritual treasures, certain human ancestors, and even particular divine beasts—Chen Yang inscribed them one by one.

After all, visualization methods were easy to create. So long as one comprehended the Dao charm of something, it could be inscribed. Thus, Chen Yang created countless visualization methods, transformed them into formation patterns, and turned them into tattoos for the Human Clan.

Over several thousand years of development, Chen Yang had both successes and failures.

The successes naturally saw members of the Human Clan grow swiftly. Step by step, they refined the formation patterns until they formed special tattoos and complete totems. As one totem developed, it meant that a second could be developed. Step by step, they inscribed an entire set of totems within their bodies, forming special formations.

The failures came when the tattoos inscribed were too powerful and the totems evolved were too terrifying. In the end, the human body could not bear them and exploded to death.

Many members of the Human Clan did not mind such sacrifices. Over the past thousands of years, in their pursuit of strength, the Human Clan had no idea how many had already perished. Now that they had hope, they were willing to sacrifice themselves.

Of course, Chen Yang did not only use the Human Clan for his experiments. He also tested them on human-Wu hybrids and the Wu Tribe.

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years passed.

Chen Yang had obtained the cultivation method of the Totem System. After much comprehension and refinement, he passed it on to the Human Clan. The Human Clan gradually began cultivating it, inscribing formation patterns, forming visualization methods, and then transforming them into totems.

As the Human Clan immersed themselves in cultivation, Chen Yang went to find a High Shaman.

Houyi asked with some confusion, "Brother Chen Yang... is this totem method you created really suitable for our Wu Tribe to cultivate? Can it speed up the strengthening of our Wu Tribe?"
