Chapter 50: Three Pure Ones Make Their Move, Buzhou Mountain Collapses
At this moment, Chen Yang's eyes were crimson, carried away by an endless, baleful killing intent as he shouted, "Kill, kill..."
Chen Yang roared, and the stars evolved in tandem.
In that instant, numerous demon emperors took flight and countless demon gods assumed their positions.
Between heaven and earth, the stars bloomed with divine light. That divine light transformed into chaos, and wherever it passed, all things were plunged into annihilation.
Endless stars condensed the vault of heaven, as if transforming into an astral chart. Within it, the sun and moon intertwined to form the firmament.
Star after star followed the Great Sun and Lunar Star, horrifyingly immense.
Yet an even more terrifying formation was about to unfold.
At that moment, Dijiang roared, "Brothers, evolve the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Primordial World was shocked.
Many cried out in alarm, "How is this possible? Houtu has evolved Reincarnation. How can the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation still be deployed?"
The entire Primordial World knew clearly that the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation relied on the Ancestor Shamans for its execution. With Houtu now missing, how could the formation be formed?
Numerous mighty figures looked on in doubt toward the Land of Reincarnation, where Houtu, having transformed into Pingxin, had not stepped forth.
Unexpectedly, the baleful qi of heaven and earth intertwined as special life-forms charged out from a series of peculiar banners.
Flags inscribed with the martial postures of the Wu Tribe bore the imprints of Dijiang, Zhu Jiuyin... and the auras of all twelve Ancestor Shamans, even including Houtu, who had already transformed into Reincarnation.
The banners devoured endless baleful qi, weaving together into a single, extraordinary standard.
That banner was carved with the likeness of Pangu, condensing boundless faith.
At some unknown moment, the faith intertwined with the baleful qi, seemingly truly awakening Pangu.
"Roar..."
The roar shook the heavens and the earth, causing the seas and mulberry fields of the Primordial World to fall into a state of stillness.
In that moment, a vast figure materialized, enveloping Dijiang and the others along with the fluttering banners, while drawing in the baleful qi of the Primordial World.
Baleful qi intertwined, vital energy poured in, and Pangu manifested.
He was the creator of the Primordial World and its evolver, standing now to fill the vault of heaven, blocking out the sun and moon in terrifying fashion.
His left foot trod upon the barren Western Land, while his right foot stepped upon the Eastern Land. What were Kunlun or Spirit Mountain? Mere ants beside the feet of this towering figure.
Even the soaring Mount Buzhou now appeared like a tiny sapling held in this figure's hand.
This was the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation, currently acknowledged as the strongest formation in the Primordial World. Now that the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation had manifested, the stars across the sky evolved to form an astral chart, casting divine light in all directions.
The two great formations stood in confrontation, and the entire Primordial World fell silent.
Yet amidst the intertwining of these two formations, the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation evolved by Chen Yang refused to lag behind.
Chen Yang's expression shifted, fraught with madness: "Man and sword as one! With my body, guide the four swords and melt them together into the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation: Chaos Killing Sword!"
At that moment, four killing swords resembling celestial pillars surrounded the formation and encircled Chen Yang, drawing in endless baleful qi.
Finally, as the formation evolved and the baleful qi condensed, the four killing swords vanished, replaced entirely by a single sword.
That sword appeared somewhat fractured, as though forcibly forged and patched together through sheer baleful qi. The Immortal-Slaying Divine Sword formed its tip, the Immortal-Execution Sword formed its body, the Immortal-Severing Sword formed its edge, and the Immortal-Trapping Sword formed its hilt. Chen Yang transformed into the formation map, fusing directly into the sword body.
In that instant, the heaven-piercing killing sword drew in the baleful qi of the battlefield, eclipsing the sky and growing to the size of Mount Buzhou.
This sword drifted through the Primordial World, piercing it from north to south, radiating a sword qi that struck fear into the heart of every living being.
Within the Primordial World, three ultimate formations evolved, leaving everyone dumbfounded. The Cosmic Star Formation intertwined the stars, forming an astral slaughter that blanketed the entire sky of the Primordial World.
The Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation constituted the True Body of Pangu, standing between heaven and earth with his feet planted on the eastern and western extramities of the Primordial World.
The Slaying Immortals Sword Formation merged to form a heaven-piercing Chaos Killing Sword that traversed the Primordial World from north to south.
The three great formations struck awe into the Primordial World and all living things.
Even the Three Pure Ones now wore expressions of astonishment.
Grand Pure One Laozi found it difficult to maintain his composure; he stood up and stared intently. "This, this... The Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation, the Cosmic Star Formation, the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation..."
"Master... Right now, three peerless formations are evolving within the Primordial World. The implications involved..." Xuandu began.
Laozi pondered quietly. "There are too many variables in this battle. Even I find it difficult to make a call at this juncture."
Laozi sighed in emotion, Yuanshi Tianzun remained silent, and Tongtian looked on in wonder.
In the Primordial World, upon the Wu-Demon battlefield.
Currently, three grand formations dominated the scene.
Chen Yang, having personally manifested the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation, felt extreme agony and strain despite the aid of the Primordial Pill.
Suddenly, however, Chen Yang felt a special energy surge into his body.
That energy smoothed away Chen Yang's injuries, allowing him to maintain perfect control over the formation.
Feeling the change, Chen Yang was somewhat baffled. "This is..."
"Chen Yang... Unleash the sword formation to your heart's content, and drive the Slaying Immortals Sword Formation to its absolute peak. Your grandmaster has your back," Tongtian's voice echoed, dropping straight into Chen Yang's consciousness.
Chen Yang's eyes widened in profound surprise.
"Do not be astonished. When fortunes are linked, many things become possible. Comprehend the sword formation well and match it against the Cosmic Star Formation," Tongtian spoke once more.
Hearing this, what could Chen Yang say except, "Many thanks, Grandmaster..."
"Do not thank me alone. Your Grandmaster Laozi, your Grandmaster Yuanshi... have also come to your aid," Tongtian said in a profound tone.
Chen Yang was dumbstruck. As it turned out, it was not just Tongtian lending a hand.
Even Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun had stepped forward.
Ultimately, the three streams of energy fused within Chen Yang's body, transforming into a unique power.
That special energy caused Chen Yang's aura to surge violently, filling his entire being with a profound Dao resonance as though he had caught a glimpse of an entirely different realm.
Chen Yang let out a skyward roar: "Roar... Chaos Sword Qi!"
With the assistance of the Three Pure Ones, the north-south-spanning Chaos Killing Sword spat forth rays of primal chaos sword radiance.
The mere aura radiating from those sword beams cleaved apart the Far North.
Under Chen Yang's manipulation, that heaven-piercing sword radiance slashed directly toward the Demon Race and the Cosmic Star Formation.
Sensing the peerless sword qi, Dijun also manipulated the Cosmic Star Formation, fusing yin and yang: "Gather, stars of the heavens! Yin and yang unite, Primal Chaos Divine Light!"
"...Boom..."
In that instant, the Primordial World was utterly shattered by the detonation of countless stars.
The roaring shockwaves echoed across past, present, and future.
That terrifying turbulence destroyed endless streams of time itself.
The entire Primordial World was caught in the fallout, and the Four Seas churned and hummed in sympathy.
The raging aftershocks swept across the Primordial World, ravaging the earth and causing countless lives to perish miserably.
Most terrifying of all was that across the vault of heaven, an endless number of members of the Demon Race fell.
They burst apart one by one, shattered one by one, forming mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
That roaring, that explosion, and those aftershocks persisted for a full several thousand years without entirely dissipating.
Such a spectacle left many mighty figures of the Primordial World dumbfounded. After all, the Demon Race had suffered a total rout, and the Wu Tribe appeared to have won. The Wu and Demon tribes were originally supposed to withdraw from the stage of history, but now...
While they were lost in thought, Pangu's True Body lunged toward the Demon Race in the sky: "Dijun, Taiyi... Hahaha, no one could have anticipated this outcome. It is time for you to die..."
As these words fell, Donghuang Taiyi roared to the heavens: "Wu Tribe... This battle is not over yet. Primal Chaos Bell, burn my origin! Kill for me..."
Amidst the roar, the Primal Chaos Bell expanded massively.
The Primal Chaos Bell shrouded heaven and earth, growing large enough to match Pangu's True Body, intending to suppress the giant.
"Hmph... To use the Father God's treasure against us is courting death..." Pangu's True Body struck out with a single punch imbued with violent divine might, slamming directly into the Primal Chaos Bell.
With a thunderous crash, the Primal Chaos Bell collided with Pangu's True Body. That tyrannical force and brutal aura instantly sent the Primal Chaos Bell flying.
What was the Primal Chaos Bell? It was an Innate Supreme Treasure.
It was one of three Innate Supreme Treasures formed from the shattering of the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe. In terms of sheer might and utility, the Primal Chaos Bell slightly surpassed the other two.
In particular, the Primal Chaos Bell could suppress time and space, possessing terrifying power. Now that it had been sent flying, Pangu's True Body followed up with a sweeping, vast punch. At that moment, time and space seemed to freeze. Finally, the blow hurtled toward a specific destination, bringing all motion to a halt.
Yet the Primal Chaos Bell, struck by the fist of Pangu's True Body, was sent hurtling directly toward Mount Buzhou.
"...Boom..."
The roar at that moment shook the Primordial World to its core. It felt as though the entire Primordial World quaked and hummed in unison.
In that instant, Mount Buzhou, which had stood proudly in the Primordial World for endless years, emitted a mournful cry and tilted over, collapsing.
"What... Mount Buzhou..." All living beings in the Primordial World were struck with terror.
Mount Buzhou had actually collapsed, shattered by a single punch from Pangu's True Body delivered via the Primal Chaos Bell.
At that moment, the Buzhou Region's earth broke apart, and countless dragon veins wailed as they fled in all directions, triggering mountain landslides and earth splits across the entire Primordial World.
The earth collapsed, the oceans boiled, and boundless Qi of Earth Sha surged out from the fissures in the ground.
Such a sudden and unexpected development left countless mighty figures of the Primordial World dumbfounded.
Simultaneously, the Heavenly Capital Divine Baleful Formation also disintegrated. The Pangu banner shattered instantly, and the Ancestor Shaman banners fractured as well, falling with mournful cries. The various Ancestor Shamans were equally stricken with shock, reeling from the backlash of the formation's collapse.
In the face of such circumstances and changes, no one could offer an explanation.
Even Donghuang Taiyi was no exception, a look of profound wonder crossing his face.
