All Laws Repelled! The Dumbfounded Demon Ancestor

Within the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, earth, wind, water, and fire raged. The earth, wind, water, and fire within were no simple acquired things.

The earth was Mystic Yellow Breath Soil from when chaos had first opened. A single grain of Breath Soil outweighed a mountain range and could serve as the foundation for refining Acquired Spirit Treasures. Millions of grains of Mystic Yellow Breath Soil raged within this formation; even a Great Firmament Golden Immortal's physical body would be punched full of holes upon contact!

The wind was the Nine Heavens Astral Wind from beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. If one were struck by this wind, even a Great Firmament Golden Immortal would have his three souls and seven spirits scattered. Once those three souls and seven spirits left the body, they would be obliterated in an instant!

The water was Three Lights Divine Water, formed by mixing the three kinds of Innate Divine Water: Sunlight Divine Water, Moonlight Divine Water, and Starlight Divine Water. Sunlight Divine Water could wear away blood, essence, bones, and flesh; Moonlight Divine Water could corrode the primordial spirit and soul; Starlight Divine Water could devour and dissolve true spirits and consciousness! The moment a Great Firmament Golden Immortal touched this water, his body and primordial spirit would be corroded, and he would perish here!

The fire was Lunar True Flame, an Innate True Flame as famous as Solar True Flame. Utmost in yin and softness, once it touched someone, it would burn away both body and primordial spirit, leaving him to suffer the agony of its flames forever!

Besides the earth, wind, water, and fire inherent to the formation, blood-soaked baleful energy filled the sword formation, while sword light crisscrossed through it. Though each streak of sword light had no physical form, every one possessed the power of a Lower-grade Innate Spirit Treasure! There were likely no fewer than a million such sword lights within this formation!

Li Yi sat atop the Twenty-Fourth-Grade Pure World Lotus Platform, which projected protective immortal light. His lotus platform was now an Innate defensive supreme treasure. Once activated, no law could break through it! The earth, wind, water, fire, and sword qi within the formation posed no threat to him.

Gazing at the formation beyond the lotus platform's protective immortal light, Li Yi soon deciphered some of its workings through his mastery of formations.

In this Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, the Immortal-Slaying Sword, Immortal Slaying Sword, Immortal Trapping Sword, and Immortal Extinction Sword served as the formation's eyes. So long as the four swords remained, the formation could not be broken. Even a Peak Quasi-Saint who entered it could not withstand the endless erosion of the sword lights and earth, wind, water, and fire. His magical power would eventually be exhausted.

But to break the formation, one first had to locate the formation eyes and remove the swords stationed there. Yet the four swords guarded the formation eyes, and their power was the greatest within the formation!

Moreover, removing a sword meant facing the counterattack of the one who had laid the sword formation. Even if one luckily removed a single sword, the other three would remain. The formation would still exist, and there would still be no way to contend with its creator!

Only by simultaneously removing the demonic swords at the four formation eyes in different directions could this formation be broken!

Having seen through the essence of the formation, Li Yi secretly marveled.

As expected of the Primordial World's foremost killing formation. No wonder it required all Four Saints to break it. If even one Saint were missing, one sword eye could not be destroyed, and the sword formation would endure. Even another Peak Quasi-Saint could never outlast Luohou, the formation's creator!

No sooner had that thought crossed Li Yi's mind than he heard an angry roar from the center of the sword formation.

"Qiankun, you thieving Daoist! You actually dared to deliver yourself to my door! Today shall be your death!"

At the center of the sword formation, Luohou looked toward Li Yi in the eastern sector of the formation, and fury surged through his heart.

When he had previously refined the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, he had sensed that the blood-soaked baleful energy of the three races had been stolen away. This had delayed the formation's emergence by several yuan epochs. To replenish its baleful energy, he had even personally entered the world and slaughtered several independent cultivators at the peak of the Great Firmament realm!

Though he had been unable to deduce the culprit behind it, he had already marked down this debt in his heart. He had planned to settle accounts with the mastermind after attaining Primordial Unity Great Firmament and comprehending the heavenly secrets!

Yet the instant Li Yi entered the formation, the Karma thread between them—one comparable to that between him and Hongjun, his rival on the path—immediately revealed Li Yi's identity to him!

He did not know what method this Heaven-Earth Daoist had used to conceal the Karma between them, but with such a thick Karma thread, there could be no other possibility. This man had to be the one who had taken one-third of the blood-soaked baleful energy from the Calamity Cycle he had planned!

In an instant, Luohou let out an enraged roar. Hatred filled his heart, and he could no longer be bothered with the other Daoists. With a flash, he rushed toward the eastern part of the sword formation where Li Yi was, intent on killing him there.

Within the sword formation, a faint smile appeared on Hongjun's face.

Though he did not know how this Heaven-Earth Daoist had offended Luohou, everything was proceeding according to his plan!

Looking at the earth, wind, water, and fire before him, Hongjun sent three streams of Spirit Treasure radiance flying out from behind him. They spread protective immortal light as they flew toward the eastern, southern, and western formation eyes, while he himself headed toward the northern formation eye.

He naturally did not possess Li Yi's skill in formations, but at this moment, he was the one responding to the calamity, and his Fortune under the Heavenly Dao had greatly increased. With the Fragment of the Creation Jade Butterfly, he had forcibly deduced the locations of all four formation eyes.

In the eastern part of the sword formation, Li Yi sat upon the white lotus, calmly observing the renowned Demon Ancestor Luohou before him.

Demon Ancestor Luohou appeared as a middle-aged Daoist. A Dao Diagram floated in the air behind him, while he held a black spear in his hand.

The entire spear was chaos-colored. Even from thousands of miles away within the formation, the blood-soaked, murderous aura emanating from its shaft still sent chills down one's spine.

As Li Yi observed Luohou, Luohou was likewise sizing him up. Looking at the lotus platform beneath Li Yi, a trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

"What an excellent Spirit Treasure!"

He also possessed a Twelfth-Grade Black Lotus of World Destruction. Baleful energy spilled from the black lotus, making it the complete opposite of the Pure World White Lotus beneath Li Yi.

The two should have restrained and countered one another, but Li Yi's Pure World White Lotus had already advanced into an Innate Supreme Treasure. It repelled all laws and was countless times more extraordinary than the World-Destroying Black Lotus.

Luohou did not waste words. Rather than closing in, he activated the sword formation, sending earth, wind, water, fire, and endless sword qi crashing toward Li Yi.

Yet the protective immortal light shining from Li Yi's lotus platform firmly blocked the earth, wind, water, fire, and sword qi outside its radiance.

Luohou's eyes widened, and he was somewhat dumbfounded.

"Impervious to all laws, innately invincible?"

Innate Supreme Treasures generally possessed exceptionally unique properties and effects. Take his God-Slaying Spear, for example—it could pierce anything! Any Spirit Treasure below the rank of an Innate Supreme Treasure, even a Supreme-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, would be punctured and drop in rank after being stabbed once. Against cultivators, it could directly annihilate the primordial spirit!

The lotus platform beneath this Heaven-Earth Daoist was precisely an Innate Supreme Treasure geared toward defense. Ordinarily, a Quasi-Saint would need immense magical power to withstand the sword formation, yet this Heaven-Earth Daoist's magical power expenditure was more than ten thousand times lower than in a normal battle! Worse still, this lotus platform was an Innate Supreme Treasure just like his God-Slaying Spear, so the spear's property of piercing all things could not take effect!

"You thieving Daoist, I'll deal with you later!"

Luohou made his decision in an instant. Turning to leave, he decided against killing Qiankun for now. He would have to wait until Qiankun's magical power was exhausted, and that would take far too long!

What he needed most now was time. If killing this Heaven-Earth Daoist delayed him too long and the other three removed the immortal swords, he would be placed at a disadvantage!

But since Luohou had personally delivered himself before Li Yi, how could Li Yi let such Merit slip away?

This was a conflict in the Demon Calamity and Daoist Calamity. The Heavenly Dao would certainly be watching this place. Whoever did more would receive a greater share of Merit afterward!

"I have already tested the Demon Ancestor's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation. Demon Ancestor, why not test my Twenty-Four Star Lodge Killing Formation as well!"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Ancestor was about to teleport away when, in the next moment, twenty-four Star Pearls suddenly emerged around Li Yi and enclosed him within them.

Boom!

Twenty-four blood-red stars, each ten thousand miles across, rose into the air and formed a small world of their own. Looking at the star killing formation in the sky, brimming with baleful power, Luohou ground his teeth in hatred.

Baleful power—this was the baleful power that Heaven-Earth Daoist had taken from him!

And now, that Heaven-Earth Daoist had refined it into a peerless killing formation to trap him!

Looking at the trapped Luohou, a smile appeared on Li Yi's face.

With no one guarding the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, this was the perfect opportunity for him to break the formation alone!
