284: Liu Ruyan strikes again
Destroying a thousand Core Formations with a single move is something even a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator can't achieve.
What kind of Great Divine Power is this!?
Besides the Core Formation Disciples from both sides at Azure Dragon Pass, there were also many Void Refining and above cultivators present.
But without exception, none of them could discern the depth of Jun Ao Zhi's move.
There were no fluctuations of Law, nor any fluctuations of magic power.
There was only simple Immortal and Demonic Qi.
Yet, precisely this Immortal and Demonic Qi, with a single move, annihilated a thousand Core Formations!
And these were Core Formations after they had gone berserk!
Furthermore, Jun Ao Zhi claimed his move was a Great Divine Power, and judging by the battle results, it certainly matched the power of a Great Divine Power.
It even ranked among the top-tier existences within Great Divine Powers.
Although this move only annihilated some Core Formations, the user, Jun Ao Zhi, was also a Core Formation cultivator!
However, with Jun Ao Zhi's magic power, how could he sustain the magic power consumption of a Great Divine Power?
Jun Ao Zhi's move had completely exceeded their comprehension.
Looking at the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance side, the arrogant laughter that had been heard earlier was no longer present.
Instead, serious expressions filled their faces.
Even Liu Ruyan, hidden in the shadows, was surprised by this.
In contrast, the Elders of the Tai Shang Sect had fluctuating expressions, turning green and then red.
It wasn't due to surprise, but purely from holding back.
Holding back laughter, that is.
They were the ones who had facilitated the Qingshan Sect's acquisition of this batch of Medicinal Pills, so they naturally knew the inside story.
What no one expected was how well Jun Ao Zhi could act, performing flawlessly and directly bluffing a group of powerful cultivators.
Gu Liangyuan also rubbed his forehead; indeed, no matter how much he grew, Jun Ao Zhi's show-off tendencies never changed.
He only hoped it wouldn't affect Liu Ruyan's move.
The reason Gu Liangyuan didn't let Song Xianer and the others directly break the formation, but rather had these five individuals go in alone, was to lure Liu Ruyan into acting.
He knew that the current Great Lu Princess had been taken over by Liu Ruyan through Possession, but others did not.
As long as Liu Ruyan, an existence beyond the Core Formation Realm, made a move against Song Xianer, he could seize this opportunity to capture everyone from the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance in one fell swoop!
Although Gu Liangyuan now possessed the strength to disregard the opinions of the world, having a legitimate reason was naturally the best option, especially since he operated within the Righteous Path circles.
After Jun Ao Zhi annihilated the enemies with one move, he flicked his sleeve, stood with his hands behind his back, and gazed upwards at a forty-five-degree angle, leaving only a side profile facing the Azure Dragon Pass.
Just then, a long gust of wind blew, causing his sleeves to flap loudly, further enhancing his demeanor as a Revered Master.
Jun Ao Zhi lowered his voice, speaking in a deep and powerful tone:
"The long wind blows outside Azure Dragon Pass..."
Mid-sentence, Oriental Heng triggered a passive skill and interjected:
"Slay a thousand enemies and the Dragon returns!"
Jun Ao Zhi slowly turned his head to look at Oriental Heng:
"My Junior Brother truly understands me!"
The two exchanged smiles, while Zai Xiyue silently took out the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and collected the remnants of these Core Formation souls into the banner.
Only then did everyone notice the seventh Disciple of Forget-Love Peak, who had always had little presence.
This is... a Ghost Cultivator?
Unexpectedly, Gu Liangyuan even possessed Ghost Cultivation methods.
Before they could express their surprise, Mo Chen below suddenly burst into laughter:
"Hahahahaha!"
"I've had an Epiphany!"
Hm?
Everyone's gaze simultaneously turned towards Mo Chen.
At this moment, Mo Chen's body glittered with bright light, and with a wave of his hand, a sharp sword appeared in his grasp.
As he brandished it, the sword moved like wind, light as a gentle breeze caressing the face, and swift as a howling gale.
As he continuously danced, a tornado rose from beneath Mo Chen's feet, supporting him as he stood high in the sky!
"This is..."
"Wind Sword Intent!"
Everyone was astonished!
The fourth Disciple, Jun Ao Zhi, comprehended a Great Divine Power on his own, slaying a thousand enemies with one move.
The third Disciple, Mo Chen, had an immediate Epiphany!
The seventh Disciple, Zai Xiyue, possessed a Ghost Cultivator body.
This... are these Forget-Love Peak Disciples!?
Everyone could predict that with such Aptitude, if they didn't perish prematurely, in a few thousand years, the world would surely belong to Forget-Love Peak!
Song Xianer's delicate brows furrowed slightly; she had come with the mission to lure the enemy, and couldn't let this continue.
But she couldn't appear too obvious, so she gave Oriental Heng, who was still relatively clear-headed, a meaningful look.
Oriental Heng immediately understood and spoke:
"I observe that the great formation of Azure Dragon Pass is nothing special, Senior Brother, why not pursue victory?"
Oriental Heng's words made Jun Ao Zhi realize that he had been too busy showing off and almost forgot the main objective.
Now, having come to his senses, he followed Oriental Heng's words:
"Junior Brother's words are correct."
As he spoke, the Demon Subduing Pestle in his hand shone brightly, and gripping the Demon Subduing Pestle, he charged directly towards the great formation.
Oriental Heng and the others followed closely, all entering the great formation.
In the air, the Qingshan Sect Master, who had been holding his breath, finally let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene:
"Although the Disciples of Forget-Love Peak possess extraordinary Aptitude, they also suffer from a common flaw among most Prodigies: arrogance and overconfidence."
"There are five of them, while we have an army of five hundred and fifty thousand, and the Hetu Grand Formation exists. They will ultimately pay the price for their arrogance."
The members of the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
It seemed as if they were comforting themselves, or perhaps they genuinely believed it.
Only they themselves knew what they truly thought in their hearts.
The other Elders of the Tai Shang Sect were unaware of Gu Liangyuan's specific arrangements. Except for the few Elders who knew that all five Disciples carried Mahayana Puppets, the others, seeing the five enter, cast looks of doubt and worry towards Gu Liangyuan.
Gu Liangyuan did not explain their doubts; instead, he spoke:
"Once there's a change, be ready to attack the Anti-Yuanyuan Alliance members at any time."
Although everyone didn't know why Gu Liangyuan made such arrangements, seeing his serious expression, not feigning it, they all nodded.
Down below, as the five entered the formation, the scenery before them instantly changed.
All around was emptiness, only endless darkness, and their Divine Sense could not reach its boundaries.
Their footing suddenly softened, not like stepping on solid ground, but rather like treading upon the Void Realm.
Turning their heads, they saw that the entrance had also transformed into nothingness.
Jun Ao Zhi's eyes flickered, turning one black and one white.
He tried to use his Immortal and Demonic Eyes to probe the formation's core, but it was futile.
Song Xianer's clear and cold voice rang out:
"The Hetu divides Yin and Yang; Yin is Earth, Yang is Heaven. The number of Heaven is twenty-five, the number of Earth is thirty."
"There are rumors that the numbers of the Hetu are the ultimate mysteries between Heaven and Earth. Throughout history, countless individuals have arranged formations based on the Hetu, but regardless of their size, the main point of these formations is evolution."
"Utilizing the changes of Heaven and Earth, they evolve into various scenarios; a highly skilled one can evolve into myriad small formations."
"Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, be careful."
No sooner had Song Xianer's voice faded than the scenery before them changed again, transforming into a vast ocean.
The five were submerged in the sea, dark clouds gathered overhead, and torrential rain poured down.
The five circulated their magic power, breaking free from the seawater and floating between Heaven and Earth.
Song Xianer's beautiful eyes grew serious:
"Heaven generates water, and Earth completes it."
"The first formation, the Heaven Water Formation."
As Song Xianer's voice fell, five flood Dragons suddenly surged from the seabed, opening their gaping mouths and lunging directly at the five.
With each of the five employing their respective methods, the five flood Dragons were successively slain.
Two colossal waves, one from the left and one from the right, followed closely behind, rushing towards the five.
Upon closer inspection, on top of each wave stood ten thousand elite soldiers.
That's right, elite soldiers.
These soldiers wore uniform armor, moved in unison, and were shrouded in Evil Qi.
It was clear at a glance that they had experienced battle and were definitely not comparable to armies temporarily formed by Sect Disciples.
Being from the Central Continent, Jun Ao Zhi recognized the origin of these armies at a glance:
"Indeed, just as Revered Master expected, it's the Great Lu's Demon-Slaying Army."
