Walking alone with a sword, slaying ghosts and gods

Chapter 502 The Five Elements Formation Suppresses the Seven Treasures, All Techniques Contend to Overcome One Man's Barrier (Seeking Rewards and Subscriptions!)

Inside the secluded and tranquil treasure hall of the immortal abode, the mysterious light from the dome rippled like water, reflecting the gushing spiritual spring in the center of the hall.

Above the spring, a gnarled vine, resembling an old dragon reaching out its claws, takes root on one side, its branches vigorous and its leaves like jade.

The vine shimmered with a seven-colored, shimmering light, but the most captivating feature was the seven magical gourds suspended atop the vine:

Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Seven gourds, each with its own unique and precious radiance, quietly absorb the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth within this immortal abode.

Red Gourd: Contains a wisp of "Primordial Yang Body Tempering Qi" which is refined and condensed from the essence of the body. When a body-refining cultivator obtains it, it is like forging gold in a raging fire, transforming him and breaking through the barriers of his physical body in an instant!

Orange Gourd: Conceals a "Wonderful Transformation Eye-Cleansing Qi" that can see through the smallest details and understand the three realms. When refined into the pupils, supernatural powers will arise spontaneously, and the ability to see through illusions and perceive the truth will be achieved in an instant!

Yellow gourd: It nourishes a life-giving "Marrow Cleansing Qi" that cleanses and purifies the body's foundation. It not only changes one's physical constitution and aptitude, turning the path of cultivation from bumpy to smooth, but also contains a vast vitality that can cure serious illnesses and heal injuries. Its wonderful uses are endless!

Green Gourd: It exudes a wisp of "innate fiery energy" that can scorch the heavens and boil the seas, and is extremely domineering. This is the essence of all fires, which can temper fire-based supernatural powers, turn mortal flames into true fire, and scorch mountains and boil seas with just a thought!
Green Gourd: Contains a "Primordial Mysterious Water Qi" that is both gentle and strong, and is formed from the origin of water. Obtaining it can forge a top-level water-type spiritual body, allowing one to control water as easily as one's own body!
The Blue Gourd contains a wisp of "Taiyi Condensed Void Qi," a substance capable of shifting between reality and illusion and condensing into countless grains of sand. It was this very wisp of profound energy that the Yu family ancestor obtained, refining it into "Heaven and Earth Shadowless Sand," a power capable of making one invisible and protecting oneself. With this, he traversed the world, escaping countless life-or-death calamities!
The Purple Gourd: Most mysterious and unpredictable, it flows with a wisp of ethereal and unfathomable "Void Creation Qi" that involves the mysteries of space and time. This Qi is neither offensive nor defensive, yet it involves the supreme and wondrous applications of the Great Dao of Space. After refining it, wondrous techniques arise spontaneously, and its supernatural powers are astonishing!
Seven treasures illuminate the world, brimming with celestial wonders.

Even with Lu Cheng's firm Dao heart, he was still somewhat dazzled and confused at this moment, finding it difficult to make a choice.

Every wisp of profound energy here is enough to attract the attention of Void Returning Realm experts. Now that they have gathered here, they are displaying the methods of the immortals from the Upper Realm!

The Golden Rainbow Fairy was pale and weak. She had just witnessed Lu Cheng easily defeat the Black Fiend Daoist, and the shock in her heart had not yet subsided.

At this moment, he managed to bow before Lu Cheng, his voice hoarse but firm as he pleaded:
“Fellow Daoist, with such a predestined connection to the immortal realm before me, Jin Hong dares not covet it. However, this journey into the abyss is solely for the sake of a close elder of my sect whose life hangs in the balance. He requires the ‘Sea Marrow Ice Lotus’ to strengthen his foundation and the ‘Heavenly One True Water Pearl’ to seize his soul in order to prolong his life… The Immortal Abode’s teleportation restriction is here; once I take one of these treasures, I must immediately teleport out of the Immortal Abode.”

"I know this request is quite abrupt, but I beg you, brother, to allow me to search for those two spiritual medicines again. You may take the Seven Treasures Gourd, brother. I only ask for the opportunity to obtain the medicine to save people! If I obtain the spiritual medicine, I am willing to give half of all my other gains! No, even seventy percent is fine, I only ask for your permission within a month."

These words created a rather subtle atmosphere in the hall.

With such a top-grade spiritual treasure right before their eyes, everyone would want to secure it and minimize any unforeseen circumstances. And right now, there are more than just one or two cultivators in this Sea Abyss Maze.

Yu Yili stood to the side, her beautiful eyes darting around. She knew she couldn't say anything and could only wait for Lu Cheng to make a decision.

Lu Cheng stood with his hands behind his back in front of the immortal vine, his gaze slowly sweeping over the seven spiritual treasure gourds, and his divine sense meticulously probing the flow of spiritual energy and the trajectory of the surrounding immortal restrictions.

The teleportation restriction mentioned by Yu Yi and Jin Hong does indeed exist, and it is obscure and complex, involving extremely advanced Taoist techniques that cannot be broken by one's own Taoist cultivation and magical power.

Which gourds should I choose?
The yellow gourd contains the marrow-cleansing energy of the I Ching, which is full of vitality and greatly beneficial to stabilizing one's foundation and repairing internal injuries.

The wonderful eye-cleansing properties of the orange gourd can enhance one's fiery eyesight and supernatural abilities.
If the innate fiery energy within the green gourd could be fused into one's own innate divine power, the Samadhi True Fire, it would likely be of great benefit.

If the Taiyi Condensed Void Qi within the Blue Gourd is refined into the Shadowless Sand of Heaven and Earth, it can make one disappear instantly even in the face of a Grandmaster of Returning to Void, greatly increasing the chance of escaping with one's life.

In an instant, he weighed the gains and losses, his mind racing.

Finally, Lu Cheng's gaze narrowed slightly as he glanced at Fairy Jin Hong's eyes, which were filled with pain yet still refused to give up, and then at the dazed and confused Black Demon Daoist.

He already had a plan in mind.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Hong is a man of great loyalty and righteousness, risking his life to save his sect's masters. His ambition is commendable. I will grant you a period of over a month. After one month, whether you have found the elixir or not, you must return here. If you fail to return by the deadline, you and I will become enemies." Lu Cheng's words were spoken in a calm tone, yet they carried a threatening undertone.

"Thank you very much, Brother Lu! Jin Hong will definitely search for the medicine at all costs and will never dare to delay your important business!" Jin Hong stood up, bowed, and said gratefully.

"Yu Yi, if you're interested, you can go with her. If not, you can stay here with me for a month."

After thinking about it, Yu Yi decided to go with Jin Hong.

Although the Golden Rainbow Fairy was seriously injured by the Black Fiend Daoist, her magical power was clearly extraordinary. Moreover, she even arrived here before me and Lord Lu, which shows that she also had some understanding of this Sea Abyss Maze. The Great Bright Palace's exploration of this place is even better than that of the Yu family.

Whether considering her confidence in succeeding or her future plans to revitalize the Yu family, this trip was well worth the risk.

Jin Hong swallowed a healing pill, mustered his strength, and together with Yu Yi, escaped from the main hall, quickly disappearing into the distant light and shadow.

Inside the hall, only Lu Cheng, the mad Black Demon Daoist, and the seven-colored immortal vine that exudes immortal energy remained.

"The immortal abode is full of opportunities. Let's see if you have the luck to achieve your wishes." After saying this, Lu Cheng spread his sleeves, and seventy-two array flags swirling with the essence of the five elements flew out in an instant.

Each array flag contains immense magical power that can cause reincarnation and death, and distort space; it is the unfathomable Five Elements Reincarnation Sky Array!
Through the Nine Li Cauldron, Lu Cheng can freely share items between the mortal realm and the immortal realm. Without this ability, he would not be able to become a merchant who profits from the price difference between the two realms.

However, within this immortal abode, Lu Cheng's Five Elements Grand Array dared not clash with the abode's energy, so it was arranged in a convoluted and awkward manner, and its power could not be fully unleashed.

After a long time, the seventy-two array flags finally followed the mysterious trajectory and were nailed into the void, instantly covering the entire hall and protecting the immortal vine and the Seven Treasures Gourd at its core.

In the blink of an eye, the Five Elements Reincarnation Grand Array had completely enveloped the Seven Treasures Palace, isolating it from the outside world.

From the outside, the chaotic and distorted space where the palace entrance was located was shrouded in an impenetrable star mist, and the colorful glow inside seemed to be separated by countless layers of water curtains, becoming distant, ethereal, and illusory.

"With the aid of this formation, as long as there aren't too many cultivators here, or their magical power and supernatural abilities don't reach the level of Saint Yang or Kong Ji, ordinary two or three Nascent Soul cultivators would find it difficult to withstand more than a few moves from me."

What Yu Yi could think of, Lu Cheng, the old monster who had transformed into a Nascent Soul cultivator, could naturally think of as well. Since Jin Hong's chances of success were not low, Lu Cheng did not mind staying here for a few more days to see if he had the opportunity to obtain more spiritual items from the Immortal Abode.

Inside the celestial palace's treasure hall, time lost its mortal measure.

The mysterious light flowing from the dome, like an ancient and tranquil river, silently illuminated the wondrous scene at the center of the hall:

The immortal vine, rooted in the spiritual spring and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, has seven spiritual treasure gourds on it that emit divine light, in shades of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple, with wisps of profound energy flowing around it, just like the seven points of Dao source essence condensed when the world was first created.

The aura they exuded was pure and powerful, drawing the wandering spiritual energy within the hall like rivers flowing into the sea, converging into the vines and nourishing the seven treasures in return.

One day, two days, three days passed. Just as the Five Elements Mist, which separated the inside from the outside, began to stabilize, the outside cultivators finally broke the silence of this place.

At first, two fleeting figures, like fish swimming against the current, struggled to break through the chaotic magnetic field and yin energy outside the treasure hall, revealing their forms in the distorted void.

One was shrouded in a black robe, his bone staff wreathed in black, malevolent energy; the other was a short, stout Taoist priest with five colorful, haphazardly arranged medicine gourds hanging from his waist.

"This is it! This is definitely the place, the Seven Treasures Gourd, imbued with celestial energy!"

Their eyes were filled with barely concealed greed as they stared intently at the seven radiant gourds on the immortal vine inside the hall.

The Five Elements Formation of Lu City could not block the spiritual energy and treasures of this place.

Moreover, some cultivators from Aurora Island or the Immortal Realm know about this place and send their disciples here to retrieve treasures every three thousand years.

It is said that a great secret is hidden inside the Seven Treasures Gourd. If one can gather and decipher it, even if a cultivator wants to ascend to immortality, it will no longer be so difficult.

For hundreds of thousands of years, it seems that no one has ever gathered all seven treasures of the gourd and cracked its secrets, but the gourd itself is already a great treasure.

"Hahaha! Truly a profound affinity with the immortals! Such a precious celestial treasure should not be allowed to remain unseen here!" The short, stout Taoist laughed loudly, slapping a black gourd at his waist. A stream of foul-smelling, filthy black water gushed out like a waterfall, corroding the void and causing it to hiss and wail, attempting to forcibly open a passage.

The man in black robes let out a fierce roar, and his bone staff transformed into a hundred-foot-long bone dragon, spewing out emerald phosphorescent ghost fire that was chilling and bone-corroding. Together with the black water, it attacked the five-colored light barrier at the edge of the Five Elements Grand Array set up by Lu Cheng.

Neither of them noticed Lu Cheng Daoist sitting cross-legged within the formation. They were also unfamiliar with this place and even thought that the restrictions here were a test for obtaining treasure.

Just as the black water and the ghost fire bone dragon touched the Five Elements Light Barrier.

"Noisy."

The clear, melodious sword cry did not originate from any magical artifact, but rather arose spontaneously from the void.

A flying sword that is almost invisible and intangible, as if it were condensed from the essence of the Milky Way falling from the heavens. Deep purple demonic lightning is hidden on the blade. It is pure, sharp, fast and ruthless!

laugh!laugh!
The filthy black water and the ferocious bone dragon were sliced ​​through by the sword light that appeared out of nowhere.

The black water evaporated and spilled away in an instant, the bone dragon shattered inch by inch, and the ghostly fire in its eyes was extinguished.

The five gourds at the short, stout Taoist's waist trembled violently, one of them cracking open with a "crack." His face turned deathly pale instantly, and he spat out a spurt of blood.

The man in black robes was struck as if his soul had been struck by a heavy blow. His bone staff shattered, and the backlash from the broken spell made him scream and roll around. He frantically crashed into the Five Elements Formation, and in the blink of an eye, he was caught in the Five Elements Mist and quickly disappeared.

"One sword can shatter all laws! Which senior is cultivating in seclusion here? This humble one will take his leave immediately."

Seeing his companion's fate of being utterly terrified, the short, stout Taoist dared not linger and hastily made a hand seal to escape.

However, the Five Elements Flying Sword left no trace, breaking through the void behind him and silently piercing his protective aura and the space between his eyebrows.

The greed and fear in the short, stout Taoist's eyes froze, and he fell straight down.

The core idea of ​​the sword technique "One Sword Breaks All Laws" is to abandon all fancy tricks and aids, cultivate the sword to its ultimate level, and with just one sword in hand, one can break through the constraints of all kinds of spells, supernatural powers, formations, and even rules in the world.

Lu Cheng had been sitting there for a long time, gathering his strength. When he suddenly struck with his sword, he broke the spells of two Nascent Soul cultivators in a single strike. He destroyed their magical intent and their Dao techniques, causing them to backfire. Naturally, he was able to kill them without any difficulty.

The sword appears without form, and returns to nothingness!
Inside the hall, the wisp of sword energy that had been swirling between Lu Cheng Daoist's fingers quietly disappeared. He remained seated cross-legged with his eyes closed.

The five great arrays of light around him remained unchanged, as if they had never been disturbed by the ripples.

Fourteen days later, three torrents of condensed, solidified, and perfectly integrated malevolent energy broke through the barrier, revealing three cultivators with different attire but strangely connected auras.

An old woman with white hair held a small, dusty gray banner, a middle-aged scholar held a nine-stringed zither, and a giant man with a bushy beard had a strong body covered in fierce heavy armor that shimmered with dark red light.

“Fellow Daoist, the most precious treasures belong to those with virtue. You arrived here first, so you may take one of the Seven Treasures Gourds. But to forcibly occupy this place is to disregard the people of the world.”

The old woman at the head of the group spoke loudly, but after the three waited for a moment, the Taoist priest inside the formation, with his sword across his lap, remained silent.

In that case, there's nothing left to discuss.

"Three Talents Lock the Spirit, Evil Returns to Ruins! Break!" The old woman shouted hoarsely, her gray banner waving as countless distorted, painful human faces appeared on its surface, emitting silent shrieks.

A strange fluctuation that directly shook the soul and corrupted spiritual energy spread out first, impacting the five elements light barrier in front of it.

"The Eight Sounds of Heavenly Dragon, the Sound of Killing with the Zither!" The scholar's ten fingers plucked the strings sharply. No one saw the strings vibrate, but instead, layers of invisible and intangible sound waves were stacked, tearing through the void and slicing towards the protective shield of the great formation. The sound was shrill and desolate.

"Let the three of us choose three spirit gourds, and we'll turn around and leave. Otherwise, we'll beat you to death right here today!" The burly man with a bushy beard roared angrily, his fists clashing together, producing a metallic clang. He charged forward like an ancient demonic elephant, his fists condensing into two giant, crimson-gold phantoms that, with the violent force to destroy mountains and valleys, followed the sonic wave and slammed into a point in the light barrier.

The three forces joined together: the divine banner disturbed the gods, the zither music sculpted forms, and the fist energy destroyed bodies. In an instant, they completed a triple strike on a single point. The power was not simply superimposed, but rather formed a resonance, causing the surrounding void to violently distort and collapse!

The Three Powers Fierce and Inauspicious Formation!

Lu Cheng finally made a move.

This time he did not use the Mysterious Heaven Divine Skill Five Elements Thunder Sword.

The Five Elements Thunder Sword is known for its speed and ruthlessness, but if the opponent has no obvious weaknesses, simply relying on speed and ruthlessness will not achieve the best results.

Lu Cheng took a step forward, and the five elements of illusory light beneath his feet suddenly lit up. He did not summon any magical treasures, but instead made a sword-like gesture with his right hand, slashing forward in a daze.

The Five Elements Flying Swords traversed and flowed within his body, transforming magical power into sword energy. At the same time, the power of the entire Five Elements Reincarnation Grand Array was also mobilized by this Taoist.

In an instant, five brilliant rays of light—red, blue, yellow, white, and black—burst forth from his fingertips. They did not scatter, but instead merged into one, transforming into a chaotic, hazy, and ever-flowing Five Elements Immortal Light!

Previously, this avatar was unable to unleash the Five Elements Immortal Light. Although their minds and souls were unified, the Daoist systems cultivated by their two physical bodies were independent. While the avatar also possessed the original body's understanding of the Five Elements Laws, it could not unleash its innate divine power, the Five Elements Immortal Light. However, after descending to the mortal realm this time and engaging in numerous bloody battles with the two demon gods, Sheng Yang and Kong Ji, and witnessing Kong Ji's Five-Colored Divine Light, Lu Cheng gained some insights.

Before the avatar returned to the upper realm, the original body fell into the fifth realm of the Xuan Tian Divine Art, and the Five Elements Thunder Transformation was injected into the avatar.

This time, however, he was able to unleash his innate divine power, the Five Elements Immortal Light.

This celestial light is the weight of the Earth element, the vitality of the Wood element, the sharpness of the Metal element, the resilience of the Water element, and the ferocity of the Fire element! The birth and death of the five elements are all contained within it.

Following the Taoist's hand gestures and sword movements, it swept down in one swift motion.

Boom!

The Five Elements Immortal Light, like a rainbow piercing the sun, directly collided with the surging torrent of three fierce evil forces!
Zila——!
The murderous aura that captivated the soul was instantly dissipated and dissolved by the ever-flowing Five Elements Immortal Light, much like dirty snow meeting the scorching sun. The small banner in the old woman's hand trembled violently, and the illusory human face on the banner wailed and dissipated.

Clang clang!
The invisible sonic blade collided with the Five Elements Immortal Light, producing a dense clang of metal against metal.

The light flowed and swirled, combining both strength and gentleness. The seemingly soft celestial light crushed and dissolved the sound waves containing terrifying cutting power! The nine-stringed zither snapped several times, and the strings broke! The scholar's face turned pale, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

Boom! !

The final illusory image of the Mountain-Breaking Divine Fist slammed into the very tip of the Five Elements Immortal Light. The light flowed and instantly transformed from the supple Gui Water Qi into the violent Bing Fire! The crimson-gold fiery fist aura and the crimson Burning World True Flame power collided fiercely and annihilated each other!
Rumble, rumble, rumble...

Almost everything in the world is born according to the Five Elements, therefore the Five-Colored Divine Light of Kongji can cleanse almost everything.

Even flying swords and spells with a higher level of magical power can be forcibly swept down. At the same level, even when facing multiple attacks from various directions, they can be swept down and neutralized invisibly, which is almost unbelievable.

However, after his battle with Kong Ji, Lu Cheng had gleaned some insights:
The Five-Colored Divine Light possesses unfathomable power. In the hands of Daoist Kongji, it can transfer and redirect the attacks of all magical treasures and spells. As long as the attack does not exceed its carrying capacity, it can be transferred and redirected to make the attack and destruction self-destruct and vanish into nothingness.

Although Lu Cheng had some insights, his Five Elements Immortal Light still couldn't reach the level of Kong Ji's Five Colors Divine Light. He could only try to shift the core of the four people's magical power explosion away from himself after brushing off the attacks of the three people in front of him.

Therefore, after the violent explosion, the old woman, the scholar, and the bearded giant were almost all impacted by the five-colored light, screaming and staggering back, which revealed the flaw!
puff!
Lu Cheng was almost unharmed in the previous clash, so his recovery was naturally much faster than the other three.

The Five Elements Flying Sword slashed through the air, breaking through numerous obstacles, and precisely pierced the golden-red light protecting the bearded giant's fists, penetrating his chest!

A not-so-large sword wound ran through his front and back.

Before the bearded giant could even let out a scream, his vital essence was instantly shattered by the incomparably domineering Five Elements Thunder Sword intent, and his massive body crashed to the ground.

"No!" The old woman and the scholar were terrified at the sight. The old woman tried to wave her small banner in a desperate resistance, but Lu Cheng's cold gaze swept over her, and he pressed his left hand down in the air.

hum!
Above the Five Elements Grand Array's light screen, the Xuanhuang light representing "Earth" suddenly intensified, transforming into a massive, heavy, ancient divine mountain-like phantom hand that crashed down!

puff!
The old woman, along with the banner, was smashed into the ground and turned into a pile of minced meat.

The remaining scholar was terrified and hastily formed a spell to escape. Lu Cheng slightly raised his right hand in a sword gesture, and the Five Elements Flying Sword, having already killed the bearded giant, struck first, ignoring his protective magic and robes, and pierced directly through his brow.

Three corpses lay scattered before the Five Elements Formation, silently telling the story of the fate of those who came to challenge them.

The Five Elements Flying Sword slowly entered Lu Cheng Daoist's body, and his Daoist aura flowed endlessly around him, becoming increasingly profound and unfathomable.
"The foundation of the Five Elements Dao in my physical body is insufficient. Without the assistance of this Five Elements Formation, the operation of the Five Elements Immortal Light is also obscure and unresponsive. Even if I manage to cultivate it, it can only be used as a temporary means to save my life and delay a few moves in an occasional crisis."

He cultivated himself while reflecting on his practice, and the days passed by in this way, one after another.

After the appearance and death of those three people, although there were still people spying on the treasure hall, no cultivators dared to come anymore.

After all, the old woman, the scholar, and the burly man were all quite powerful, but they couldn't withstand more than a few sword strikes from Lu Cheng. Such a record was truly terrifying!

However, cultivators are not beings who give up so easily.

The celestial vine shimmered with light, and the void creation energy on a certain purple gourd swirled and pulsed, seemingly growing larger than it had in the previous few days.

Finally, seven extremely powerful magical auras, one after the other, tore through the spatial barrier surrounding the treasure hall and descended fiercely!

Seven Nascent Soul cultivators! Daoist robes, monk's robes, demonic aura, demonic flames... each with a different aura, yet all possessing unparalleled and profound magical power.

They were clearly not traveling together on a whim, but had secretly agreed beforehand. Their current formation subtly corresponded to the positions of the Big Dipper, forming a solemn and grand "Seven Stars Refining Demon True Qi Formation".

The mastermind of the formation was a middle-aged Taoist priest clad in a star-patterned robe and wielding a seven-foot-long glass staff. His eyes were sharp as a hawk's, and he proclaimed in a loud voice:
"Fellow Daoists! The rare treasures of the Immortal Abode belong to those with the right destiny! This man has hoarded the seven treasures, obstructing our path to enlightenment. His crime deserves to be punished! Summon the True Qi of the Big Dipper and slay this fiend!"

"Attract stars!"

"Tian Shu Po Jun!"

"Tianxuan Slays the Demon!"

"Tianji vanquishes the demon!"...

The seven Nascent Soul cultivators roared in unison, each channeling their magical power and connecting their auras through the array, forming a bridge that communicated with the void.

Beyond the mystical light of the dome of the Immortal Abode's main hall, seven distant stars were indeed faintly drawn, projecting down seven thick, condensed, and dazzling beams of light containing the essence of starlight!
This beam of light pierced through the spatial barrier and, guided by the array, finally converged into a colossal "Big Dipper Divine Sword" that stretched across the void and was filled with starlight!
Before the divine sword even struck, the terrifying pressure caused the entire treasure hall to tremble. The five-colored light barrier of the Five Elements Reincarnation Grand Array twisted and deformed violently, emitting a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden!
Even someone as powerful as Lu Cheng felt an overwhelming pressure, his Taoist robe fluttering in the wind.

This attack has exceeded the limit of a single Nascent Soul cultivator and is approaching the magical power and divine abilities of a Void Return cultivator!
The Star Daoist's voice carried a hint of fervor and certainty: "Slay!" He made a hand gesture.

boom!
The Big Dipper Heavenly Divine Sword tore through space, carrying an absolute killing intent that could crush the universe and annihilate all laws, and slashed down at Lu Cheng Daoist at the core of the Five Elements Grand Array!
The sword light illuminated the faces of all the cultivators present, which were contorted with greed and excitement, and also reflected in Lu Cheng's deep, unfathomable eyes.

Just as the world-destroying starlight sword was only ten feet away from the light barrier, and a sinister smile had even appeared on Xinghe Daoren's face—

Lu Cheng made his move. This time, it was a shift from defense to offense!
Lu Cheng didn't dodge, but instead took a step forward! With this step, the Five Elements Formation beneath his feet instantly reversed!

The five-colored light suddenly became violent, no longer defensive, but transformed into an offensive vortex!
A terrifying suction force erupted from the center of the great formation, actively swallowing the tip of the seemingly invincible Big Dipper Heavenly Divine Sword into the formation!

The innate divine power of the Nascent Soul Realm is the Five Elements Immortal Light, which can transfer and shift all magical power, causing it to self-destruct and break down on its own.

This unexpected turn of events startled Xinghe and the other six.

"Blurring! Break!" The seven members of Xinghe Daoren were not easy to deal with, having cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. At this moment, they calmed their minds, unleashed their magic power, and instantly their minds were connected, each pouring their magic power into the other without reservation.

This made the power of that Starry Sky Divine Sword even more mighty and fierce!
The Five Elements Reincarnation Grand Formation evolved into a Five Elements Vortex, but it gradually became unable to withstand the power of the sword strike and would soon be broken through.

"Ah…"

A low, chilling laugh echoed through the hall, sending shivers down the spines of Xinghezi and the other six.

Behind Lu Cheng Dao Ren, without warning, a boundless, surging, and monstrous crimson sea of ​​blood suddenly unfolded!

The innate divine power of the Nascent Soul Realm is the Blood Talisman that connects to the Profound Aperture/Blood Talisman that connects to the Profound Qi. Through this innate divine power, Lu Cheng refined his physical body, which was an external avatar, into a Boundless Blood Sea Divine Sword!
The phantom of the divine sword floated on the sea surface, and then merged with the Taoist priest!

A terrifying aura, more ferocious and ancient than the Seven Star Killing Array, seemingly condensed with the resentment of countless ages of blood feuds, erupted and instantly filled the entire hall!
"Sea of ​​Calamity Devours Stars, Sever!"

Lu Cheng's eyes were icy cold, and behind him was a sea of ​​blood! He suddenly opened his arms and slammed them together against the huge starlight sword that had pierced into the formation!
Crash-! ! !
The Five Elements Flying Sword and the Boundless Blood Sea Divine Sword suddenly emitted a piercing, ear-piercing sword cry!
The entire sea of ​​blood suddenly surged, transforming into a crimson sword tide that swept across the heavens and earth, meeting the spine of the falling starlight sword!
The two flying swords, Five Elements and Blood Sea, each traced two graceful trajectories, as if cut out like rainbows.

boom! ! ! !

An indescribable explosion occurred.

At the core of the collision between sword light, starlight, and the sea of ​​blood, it instantly transformed into a place of ultimate destruction.

The dazzling starlight continuously attempted to resist, purify, and annihilate the Five Elements Sword Qi and the blood tide, while the Five Elements Sword Qi circulated endlessly, and the scarlet sea of ​​blood, carrying endless pollution and devouring power, frantically corroded, devoured, and eroded the power of the stars! The calamity energy and sword intent impacted the souls of the seven people connected by the formation!
sizzle...

Like a red-hot iron plunged into ice water, the sound was deafeningly loud. Under the corrosive force of the twin sword strikes, the Starlight Sword visibly crumbled and dimmed!

The starlight that formed the sword body was polluted, stripped away, and finally assimilated and devoured by the filthy calamity light!
"This is impossible!" Xinghe Daoist was the first to be affected, feeling an indescribable filthy evil energy and sword energy tribulation force rushing back through the array links!

He was in excruciating pain in his internal organs, and blackish-red blood was seeping from his seven orifices!

The six cultivators behind him who were forming an array were also struck as if by lightning. Their magical power instantly became stagnant, their souls were in excruciating pain, their faces were covered with strange blood patterns, and their auras plummeted.

With a snap, the once indestructible Big Dipper Divine Sword completely disintegrated under the onslaught of the Five Elements Sword Qi and the Blood Sea Sword Tide!

It turned into countless shattered streams of light, completely swallowed by the crimson sea of ​​blood!
"puff!"

The seven Nascent Soul cultivators coughed up blood simultaneously. The moment the formation collapsed, the backlash not only injured their internal organs and primordial spirits, but also eroded their source of magical power!

This terrifying twin sword strike shattered the formation and wounded the enemy!

However, at this moment, Lu Cheng Dao Ren's murderous intent had already been aroused and he could no longer control it.

The Five Elements Flying Swords, the Blood Sea Sword Tide has not yet subsided!
After the starlight shattered, the Five Elements Flying Sword and the all-consuming filthy blood light did not stop, transforming into seven incomparably condensed sword lights, faster than lightning, each carrying a soul-destroying and spirit-annihilating aura, locking onto the brows of the seven people respectively!
"Do not--!"

The shadow of death instantly loomed over the hearts of the seven Nascent Soul cultivators.

Some frantically urged their protective magic treasures, causing various colored lights to shine brightly; some attempted to tear through space to escape; and some even burned their life essence and lifespan to unleash forbidden secret techniques.

However, their movements were neither fast enough nor ruthless enough!
Five thunderous beasts roared and galloped faintly around the Five Elements Flying Sword, while the Boundless Blood Sea Divine Sword was further infused with Lu Cheng's own killing intent—

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!
Seven muffled, piercing sounds rang out almost simultaneously.

The seven fierce and imposing Nascent Soul cultivators all had a blood-soaked sword hole between their brows, their eyes instantly dimmed, and their primordial spirits were instantly corrupted and annihilated by the Five Elements Sword Intent and the Blood Calamity Foul Primordial Spirit Light in the sword energy!
The seven corpses fell limply to the ground, their scattered essence not yet dissipated before being swept away by the greedy Boundless Blood Sea Divine Sword, which devoured them as nourishment.

The sea of ​​blood slowly receded behind Lu Cheng, and the Boundless Blood Sea Divine Sword also returned to tranquility, as if it had never appeared. Only the lingering stench of blood and the chilling aura of calamity within the hall proved the battle that had just taken place.

Lu Cheng withdrew his hand and stood still. His aura was slightly disordered, but his eyes were sharper than lightning, and the sword aura emanating from him, tempered by fierce battles, was even more chilling and unfathomable.

Having consecutively killed more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators, none of them were ordinary. Even Lu Cheng needed time to calm the surging magical power within his body. He glanced at the Seven Treasures Gourd on the Immortal Vine, whose radiance was becoming increasingly warm and lustrous, and sat cross-legged in the formation, seemingly adjusting his breathing or comprehending the truth.

The hall returned to its quietude, with only the gurgling of the spiritual spring and the flowing of mysterious light.

The soft light from the dome shone quietly, as if all this tragedy was but a fleeting glimpse in the long river of time.

After the forty-seventh day, time within the Immortal Abode flowed by in alternations of slaughter and tranquility.

When the spatial barrier outside the hall was triggered again, the newcomer's aura was familiar yet weak. Lu Cheng opened his eyes, and the light from the Five Elements Grand Array quietly parted to create a passage.

Yu Yi helped the critically injured Fairy Jin Hong into the room. Jin Hong's face was ashen, her aura extremely weak, and her body was covered in blood, clearly indicating that she had encountered an unimaginably powerful enemy and a desperate situation.

She clutched a blue jade box tightly in her hand, refusing to let go even though she was seriously injured.

Yu Yi was also pale and weak, bearing the marks of battle, but in much better condition than Jin Hong.

“Senior Brother Lu…” When Jin Hong saw Lu Cheng, a hint of relief at being saved flashed in her eyes, but it was also filled with deep fear: “Fortunately… I have not failed in my mission… but…” Before she could finish speaking, her body swayed and she completely fainted.

Upon seeing this, Yu Yi hurriedly tried to explain, but Lu Cheng raised his hand to stop her, as he wasn't very interested in their experiences.

With a casual flick of his wrist, two streams of pure life-giving Five Elements magic power were injected into Yu Yi and Jin Hong's bodies, stabilizing their injuries.

After a short while, the guiding light of the immortals descended, and the treasure hall once again returned to its former tranquility.
