“I’m Chu Hong of the Black Heaven Sect!”
“Prepare to face my wrath for trespassing into the Black Heaven Sect!!”
The Godly Phoenix Chu Hong said coldly. Despite sounding like a little girl who was about seven or eight years old, the strange bestial souls could sense the anger from her voice. Instinctively, this caused them to tremble even more.
After that, Chu Hong opened her mouth and spat out a golden fireball.
Its flames were incredibly terrifying.
Scorching heat emanated from the purest Fire-based Daoist Rhyme that surrounded the fireball. Everywhere it passed, the void burned until it distorted.
When the fireball landed on the groups of strange bestial souls, some of them were immediately burned to ashes before they could even roar.
“You animal, how dare you?!”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord’s expression changed. He decided he would capture the Godly Phoenix there and then.
After all, he was a Sage Ruler!
No matter how strong that Godly Phoenix was, it had yet reached the Sage realm, and hence it was not his match. He was extremely confident of catching her alive.
However, at that point.
Numerous swords suddenly appeared from the sea of clouds. Those swords were the ones that had scattered into the sea of clouds after the Black Heaven Sword Formation was broken.
As if these swords were controlled by an invisible force, they then formed into a sword formation that surrounded the Fairy boat with the Sage Rulers on board. Strong sword qi and Daoist Rhymes, akin to the passage of time, were everywhere in the air.
All the cultivators could sense that it was a sword formation far greater and terrifying than the Black Heaven Sword Formation!
The Four Seasons Sword Formation!
“D*mn it. Concealing a formation within a formation? How can Chu Kuangren achieve something like this? How can he control this sword formation despite not being here in person?”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord was puzzled. However, he could not afford to ponder any longer as the sword formation was heading towards him.
He raised his arm and urged his spiritual power to hold back against the sword formation before his frightening Sage Ruler power erupted. At the same time, he yelled towards the Fairy boat, “Stop hiding and come help me break this formation!”
The Four Seasons Sword Formation was so terrifying that even the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord could feel its pressure.
Two figures came out from the Fairy boat. They were the Lords of the Acheron Manor and the Sacred Palace of Death. Both of their eyes darkened when they saw the sword formation.
What made them feel grimmer was the clear and resounding dragon’s roar, which came from outside the sword formation and between the clouds.
The ferocious thousand-meter-long Cloud Dragon swooped down and destroyed every Fairy boat in its path!
Even a Sage could hardly defend themselves against its attack.
The Godly Phoenix was continuously launching fireballs from the side too. The dragon and phoenix worked together and mercilessly wiped out the cultivators from the great army.
Although the Graylord Sage, Solar and Lunar Sages also sent forth their attacks, they merely hindered the speed of their opponent’s killing spree by a little.
Just that Cloud Dragon alone was not something they could easily fend off.
As for the Sage Rulers, they were now held back by the sword formation.
“We must break through this formation quickly and defeat that Cloud Dragon. Otherwise, our men will all be killed off by that dragon and phoenix.”
The Acheron Manor Lord said with an extremely domineering Daoist Rhyme erupting from his body, intertwining and forming a great eye behind him.
It was an Emperor Technique, the Eye of Acheron!
A gray qi of death also surrounded the Sacred Death Palace Lord’s body. It swirled around him and then gathered at his fingertips.
Emperor Technique, Finger of Despair!
“Let’s do this.”
The Craggy Ocean Tower Lord raised his hand. Gathering surges of domineering Daoist Rhyme, he formed an incredibly ferocious wild beast’s shadow and unleashed it towards the sword formation.
The other two attacked at the same time.
A demonic light radiated from the Finger of Despair’s energy and Eye of Acheron!
The three Emperor Techniques, which contained the power of three Sage Rulers, struck out at the sword formation!
Within the sword formation, the Daoist Rhyme of the four seasons swirled. The power of natural phenomenon formed into a giant colorful sword before it slashed down at the incoming attacks.
It resulted in an earth-shattering explosion which rumbled the heavens and earth!
The various Daoist Rhymes collided, sending horrifying shockwaves everywhere that continuously hit the Four Season Sword Formation!
Under the might of those attacks, the sword formation eventually broke apart!
Numerous swords were scattered everywhere.
The shockwave that spread caused the surrounding cultivators to explode one by one.
Far away.
Inside Black Heaven Sect’s Longevity Hall.
Chu Kuangren opened his eyes a little and muttered, “Sure enough, using my mind power to control the sword formation is not as effective as using spiritual power.”
Both mental energy and spiritual power had their own advantages.
After all, most formation techniques were supposed to be controlled by spiritual power. Although Chu Kuangren could control it from afar using his mind power, it would be more effective for him to use his spiritual power. Otherwise, the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord and others would not have been able to break that formation that easily.
“Lil Red, retreat for now,” Chu Kuangren ordered Lil Red via telepathy.
Lil Red may be able to handle most of the Sages with her current strength, but she was still no match to those Sage Rulers who had already broken the sword formation.
“Alright.”
Not hungry for battle, Lil Red turned around and flew towards the Black Heaven Sect.
“There’s no way I’ll let you go that easily!”
Now that the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord had broken free from the sword formation, how could he allow the Godly Phoenix to flee? Hence, he immediately chased after her.
However, the Cloud Dragon suddenly roared. As if it had substance, the soundwaves and the power of the formation swept everywhere like a raging ocean.
Then, its claws reached out to attack the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord!
Its attack was so powerful that even a Sage Ruler like him was shell-shocked. He immediately channeled his spiritual power and unleashed a punch at the dragon.
An explosion instantly erupted in the void.
As the Craggy Ocean Tower Lord was forced back dozens of meters, he stared at the Cloud Dragon with a stern look in his eyes.
“This being’s strength is truly terrifying.”
He could feel his chest tightening with that move alone.
It was undoubtedly the strength of a top-tier Sage Ruler.
“Finger of Despair!”
“Eye of Acheron!”
The two great Emperor Techniques struck towards the Cloud Dragon once again.
The Cloud Dragon merely swung its tail and unleashed a terrifying power that immediately shattered the two Emperor Techniques. The two Sage Rulers were also sent flying.
“So powerful.”
“Sage Ruler Zhang Guang, are you guys going to stand and watch?”
The Acheron Manor Lord gazed towards the Fairy boat.
The Great Bottomless Chasm Dweller then stepped into the battle with a light blue pearl that radiated with a blue light in his hand.
“Step aside you two. I shall deal with this worm myself.”
The Great Chasm Dweller uttered coldly.
He then tossed the light blue pearl into the air.
In an instant, an incomparable surge of torrential force erupted into rays of blue light, and the sound of a crashing tsunami rang beside everyone’s ears.
The pearl, which was aimed toward Cloud Dragon, contained an immeasurable and vast surge of tidal energy.
The void shook as if it was about to crumble.
However, the Cloud Dragon roared again, causing the surrounding terrain to rumble.
Its claw reached out and struck the orb!
As soon as the two energies collided, everything within a thousand kilometers radius shook. Even the clouds in the sky were swept away as well. The cultivators could only stay on board their Fairy boats and try as hard as they could to maintain the Fairy boat’s defense formation, resisting the energy shockwaves from the impact.
“Die, worm!”
The Great Chasm Dweller yelled as he channeled his spiritual power into the pearl. Vast tidal energy surged violently before it rained on the Cloud Dragon’s body.
Since the Cloud Dragon’s body was formed by cloud mists, it blew up.
With that, the Cloud Dragon finally dispersed.
On the other hand, the vast tidal energy continued to rage towards the Black Heaven Sect. Wherever it went, none of the formation techniques could withstand it.
The surrounding mountain range and forests were soon submerged!
Just when the tidal energy was at the Black Heaven Sect’s entrance, about to crash into it, the surging torrential force suddenly halted.
That tidal surge stopped at the Black Heaven Sect’s mountain entrance and did not move after that.
“You want to fight with water? Here you go!”
A cold voice echoed from the depths of the Black Heaven Sect.
Right after those words dropped, that vast tidal energy immediately receded, changed its direction, and surged back towards where it came. Along the way, it picked up all the water from before and formed a terrifying tsunami!
The great cultivator-army looked incredibly tiny in the face of that incoming tsunami.
