The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

"A magnificent array was erected with a wave of the hand?"

"No spirit stones, no magic tools, not even an array plate..."

"Did Chen Xuan really rely on the terrain and mountains, and take advantage of the power of heaven and earth, to set up a formation that could crush the sect's protective array?"

"How...how did he do that! Just how skilled has he become in the art of array formations?!"

The scene before them was beyond everyone's comprehension, and even more beyond Ye Li's imagination.

Her hands clenched tightly, then involuntarily loosened, then clenched again suddenly towards the large array, feeling her breathing quicken and her face flush slightly.

"Oh my god!"

"This world must be insane!"

"Can sword cultivators also erect a large formation?"

"So, sir, you're not just a swordsman; you're also knowledgeable in formations!"

Lin Xiaoman was startled and jumped around, speaking and leaping three feet high, flustered and disorganized.

A sword cultivator who doesn't understand the Dao of Formations is not a good teacher!

Others may struggle and die on the path of swordsmanship, yet they may make little progress throughout their lives.

Who would have thought that the Master also stands at the top of the array path, his strength is terrifying!

"Ye Li, what's the situation at Qingyang Mountain? Do we need reinforcements?"

An Changmin's inquiries kept coming through the communicator in his ear.

Ye Li glanced at the despairing Luo Xia Sect and said seriously, "Prefect, you need to hurry."

"I'm moving very fast, heading towards the capital. The report has just been submitted..."

No, that's not what I meant.

Ye Li's lips curled into a smile. "What I mean is, you need to hurry up. If you're too slow, you might not be able to snatch a single spirit stone."

The Luoxia Sect, which is known as the Immortal Sect, was the first major cultivation sect that Lingxiao came into contact with.

There must be so many amazing things inside, things they've never seen or even heard of before. Everyone's probably going to go crazy fighting over them.

"what?"

An Changmin felt like he had misheard, and he didn't even understand what Ye Li was saying.

Ye Li said solemnly again, "Prefect, the Luoxia Sect has been destroyed, and Lingxiao suffered no casualties."

! ! ! ! !

On the other end of the communication line, An Changmin was completely stunned, then filled with disbelief, "How did it break! How could it break! I just started my car!"

Ye Li said, "Sir, you alone have accomplished this; it is truly awe-inspiring."

then.

An Changmin let out a series of exclamations, his gasps so loud that Ye Li had to move the communicator away from her ear.

At this moment, the Luoxia Sect was already deathly silent.

Among the group, the few Golden Core elders who could barely maintain their senses immediately called out to Shen Luoxia, "Sect Master, now it's time..."

just.

When they came to their senses, they discovered that Sect Leader Shen Luoxia had long since lost her mind and was acting erratically, staring at Chen Xuan's figure and muttering incessantly.

"It's him... why is it him again...?"

Then, as Chen Xuan took a step towards her, she took a step back, using both her hands and feet.

When she had nowhere left to retreat, she collapsed to the ground with her hair disheveled, her eyes devoid of any light.

Of all those present, besides the Supreme Elder Yunxia Zhenren, she was the only one who personally witnessed the calamity that destroyed the sect.

On that day, the other sect members couldn't even react before their souls were scattered under the crushing force of the great formation.

"We can't just sit here and wait to die!"

"Taking advantage of the moment when the great formation has just been activated and weakened our defenses, let's fight to the death!"

The five Golden Core cultivators simultaneously erupted, burning their own Golden Core essence and exhausting their cultivation, causing their spiritual light to surge to its peak.

Crimson clouds, water ripples, array seals, and sword energy—four distinct Daoist auras of the Golden Elixir intertwined and soared into the sky.

Four powerful spiritual energies twisted into a thick pillar of light reaching the sky, forcefully holding up the surrounding void in an attempt to resist the supreme array force before them.

They did not seek victory, but only to force the enemy to retreat and gain a chance to escape.

The mountain wind howled, and the world was deathly silent.

Chen Xuan, standing outside the formation, remained motionless, his posture upright, his clothes unfurled.

He looked down at the five people with a calm gaze, showing neither anger nor joy, only indifference.

The next instant, his mind stirred slightly, and he gently activated the Azure Netherworld Mountain-Suppressing Heaven-Covering Array.

hum! ! !

The silent, dark array suddenly roared and trembled, and the endless array power that enveloped the entire mountain range, like an ancient mountain that had overturned the heavens, pressed down heavily.

This was not a violent, explosive impact, but rather an absolute force originating from the surrounding environment.

The four Golden Core elders turned deathly pale instantly, their bodies sank abruptly, and their knees buckled slightly involuntarily.

"Hold on! Hold on!!"

One person gritted his teeth and roared, blood gushing from his jaw, frantically urging his golden core essence. The spiritual light on his body surged again, but it was instantly crushed layer by layer by the dark formation.

They could clearly feel that their own Golden Core cultivation, which they were so proud of, was like a trickle against a mighty ocean in the face of the power of this great array of heaven and earth, ridiculously insignificant.

Every inch of array power that landed carried a terrifying force capable of crushing souls and shattering foundations.

The cracking sounds of bones being crushed came from the five people one after another, their protective spiritual light shattered layer by layer, and their physical meridians were torn and squeezed by an invisible force.

At first they could barely hold on, but in just a few breaths, boundless despair completely consumed their minds.

Their desperate resistance seemed utterly futile in the face of Chen Xuan's unwavering stillness.

Click!

The last layer of protective aura shattered completely.

The immense force of the massive formation crashed down on the five people.

At the same time, the sound of blood splattering rang out.

The five Golden Core elders were crushed and smashed to the ground at the mountain gate. Their meridians were broken, their Golden Core essence was cracked and damaged, their flesh was mangled, and they were barely breathing.

They still retained a sliver of consciousness, but could no longer muster any spiritual power. They didn't even have the strength to lift their hands, and their bodies were wracked with excruciating pain, their foundations nearly collapsing.

A desperate act of resistance is ultimately just a joke.

However, Shen Luoxia, who had been in a state of madness, suddenly regained her senses, her eyes bloodshot and filled with delusion as she stared intently at Chen Xuan:

"Even for you, in the current world, this is the highest power you can unleash; it can never surpass the Nascent Soul stage!"

"I want you dead! I want you dead right now! Blood for blood!"

Shen Luoxia let out a sharp shriek, her hands rapidly forming blood seals as she resolutely burned all of her golden core essence, sacrificing her own Dao foundation to activate the greatest reliance they had found in the modern world!

"Slumbering Canglan, guard my Xiashan! Dragon Lord, return!!"

A single cry, filled with tears of blood and souls, reverberated throughout the hundred-mile stretch of rivers and mountains!

Rumble!!!

The thousand-mile-long river surrounding the sect suddenly boiled and surged. The once gentle river surface turned into a raging torrent, with black water reaching the sky and giant waves crashing against the riverbank, causing the mountains and rivers to roar.

The bloodline aura, dormant for several years, suddenly awakened beneath the entire body of water, and a vast, violent, and terrifying pressure surged into the sky from the bottom of the abyss!

The river water burst open, black water surged, and a huge black shadow that blotted out the sky slowly rose from the river abyss.

This is the dragon they accidentally formed in modern times!

It is no ordinary dragon demon, but a half-step true dragon!

Its entire body was covered in jet-black scales, each one forged like the black iron of the heavens, gleaming with a cold and eerie light in the dim light.

A towering, slender body coiled around the river, its whiskers hanging down hundreds of feet. Its eyes, opening and closing, held the ancient dragon's gaze that looked down upon all demons and disdainfully surveyed cultivators.

Its head has grown half a layer of majestic dragon horns, and its scales have shed the thinness of those of jiao (a type of dragon), giving rise to the thick dragon patterns exclusive to true dragons.

A faint purple aura of true dragon surrounded him, his dragon might vast and powerful, suppressing the entire body of water.

After years of dormancy, it has long since shed its mortal form and accumulated perfect dragon marrow. It only needs to take the final step of passing the Great Transformation Dragon Thunder Tribulation to completely shed its dragon body and become a true dragon.

Lin Xiaoman, who was originally at the forefront, was directly overturned by the shockwave. Just as she was about to start cursing, she felt the dragon circling in the sky and immediately fell silent.

Ye Li's pupils also contracted sharply.

A dragon? A half-step true dragon?

"Shen Luoxia, you woke me up ahead of time, did you already have the Xuanpin Scarlet Python ready?"

The black dragon opened its mouth, its enormous eyes staring down.

"Report back to the Dragon Lord!"

"We had indeed successfully cultivated them, but at the last minute, someone else beat us to it!"

"Now, this group is going to destroy my sect and ruin our grand plan!"

Shen Luoxia's shrill scream shook the heavens and earth at that moment.
