He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 229 One Punch Kills (Third Update)

Inside the Nine Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Formation, Li Chuan used fierce fire to block the Profound Yin Divine Fiends surging from all directions, but he was unable to find a way to leave the formation.

He tried to fly out of the formation, but no matter which direction he flew in, he would always return to the starting point, as if he had encountered a maze.

He knew that there must be a trapping formation attached to this great formation, but he didn't know anything about formations. Although Li Qingfeng had studied formations in his memory, it was all very basic knowledge.

His basic knowledge of formations was insufficient to decipher this obviously advanced formation.

Therefore, he adopted the most primitive and effective method to break the formation.

The most basic trapping formation is the kind of illusion that confuses people's vision. More sophisticated ones can also confuse their hearing and senses. More advanced ones will use the five elements, space, or even some laws of heaven and earth.

But the essence of all this is to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

If the energy you unleash is powerful enough to affect the energy flow of the formation, then the formation will naturally break.

Therefore, a Foundation Establishment cultivator who is very proficient in formations may be able to set up a formation to trap a Core Formation cultivator, but he will never be able to set up a formation to trap a Nascent Soul cultivator, even if that Nascent Soul cultivator knows nothing about formations.

Because an attack launched casually by a Nascent Soul cultivator is powerful enough to destroy the energy flow of an array set up by a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It was from Li Qingfeng's memories that Li Chuan came up with a solution.

"Second Form Opens, Eight Gates Formation, Gate of Shock Opens!"

With a loud shout, he immediately activated the second form of his body on the spot, and also opened the seventh gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Shock, instantly unleashing the most powerful chakra energy.

After being injected with the perfect version of the Extremis Virus, his physical strength and chakra reserves without transforming into his second form were already similar to those after transforming. Now, when he transforms into his second form, his power is even more explosive.

Furthermore, he had already successfully cultivated the Eight Gates Formation to the seventh gate, the Gate of Shock. At this moment, the energy intensity of the burst was several times stronger than that of Kai.

More importantly, the Extremis virus's ability to heal the body means that he won't be like Kai, who can only have a brief burst of power and then has to lie down for a long time to recover afterwards.

Based on his previous tests, he could easily maintain this state for half an hour without any problems, and apart from feeling weak for a few hours afterward, there were basically no side effects.

"Daytime Tiger!"

This ultimate technique, which can only be used after opening the Gate of Shock using the Eight Gates Formation, had Li Chuan's body enveloped by a giant white tiger phantom.

He punched the ground, and instantly the earth cracked open. A powerful shockwave, like a gale, swept in all directions, repelling all the Xuan Yin Divine Fiends.

The powerful energy unleashed by the daytime tiger caused the entire Xuan Yin Grand Array to shake, revealing Elder Nan Tong of the Xuan Yin Sect and his disciples above.

With a sudden burst of power from his legs, Li Chuan transformed into a giant white tiger and soared into the sky, throwing a punch at Nan Tong.

At this moment, Nan Tong also realized that something was wrong, and quickly summoned his defensive magic weapon again to block the magnificent sedan chair in front of him.

However, this sedan chair, which could withstand the attacks of magic weapons from a peak Core Formation cultivator, was instantly shattered into pieces like paper when it encountered Li Chuan's fist, which was even larger than a clay pot.

"Die!"

After destroying the sedan chair, Li Chuan continued to punch Nan Tong without stopping.

"No!"

Nan Tong tried to use a magic spell to recall his Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Banner, but Li Chuan was too close and his fist was too fast. He was hit and exploded to death before he could even finish the spell.

Cultivators absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth year-round, so their physical bodies are naturally much stronger than those of ordinary people. However, unless a cultivator is a demon beast in human form or has cultivated a special technique, the physical body of an ordinary cultivator is definitely inferior to that of a magical artifact.

In his Day Tiger form, Li Chuan can directly shatter defensive magic treasures of a Core Formation Realm cultivator, so he can naturally blast apart the physical body of a Core Formation Realm cultivator.

"Five Elements Escape Technique, Fire."

The short demonic cultivator next to him was terrified when he saw his master being killed. He didn't dare to stay any longer and was about to use fire escape to escape when his body exploded before he could even finish half of the incantation.

"You got to run it once, but you think you can run it a second time?"

Li Chuan retracted his fist, deactivated the Eight Gates Formation, and landed back down.

In fact, once you reach the Core Formation stage, if you feel that you can no longer make any progress, you can choose to undergo self-disintegration and reincarnate, preserving a trace of your true spirit to start cultivating again in the next life.

But that requires a lot of preparation. It's not like Nan Tong, who was directly killed by Li Chuan and could then be reincarnated.

People like Nan Tong, who die just like ordinary people, without retaining their true spirit, will not have any memories after reincarnation. Whether they can enter the Daoist path again depends on fate.

As for that short demonic cultivator, there's no such thing as "disintegration" in the Foundation Establishment realm; once he dies, he's dead.

Therefore, Li Chuan's two punches can be considered a complete end to the evil Xuan Yin Sect master and disciple pair.

With Nan Tong dead, the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Banner lost its master and naturally lost all its abilities, reverting to its original form.

After landing, Li Chuan used a summoning spell to retrieve the Nine-Headed Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Banner, placing it in the small cloth bag at his waist, along with the Blood Fiend Banner and Blood Nails from the short cultivator.

He has personally experienced the Nine Heavens Magic Xuan Yin Banner and it is definitely a good magic weapon. He can use it after spending some time refining it.

Even if they can't unleash the full power of the Xuan Yin Sect elders, it would still be worth it to be able to unleash two or three-tenths of it.

Meanwhile, the Seven Sons of the Clouds had just cleaved the eight demonic soldiers into scrap metal with their swords and were preparing to come over to kill Elder Nan Tong of the Xuan Yin Sect and rescue their friends who might be from the righteous path who were trapped.

Suddenly, they saw Li Chuan, a muscular man wrapped in a white tiger phantom, rush out of the Nine Yin Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Formation, smash Nan Tong's defensive magic treasure with one punch, and kill Nan Tong and his disciple with two punches.

The scene was so breathtaking that all seven of them couldn't help but stop their sword-wielding techniques.

It should be noted that Elder Nan Tong of the Xuan Yin Sect is a renowned cultivator in the entire cultivation world, with a reputation no less than that of the Seven Masters of the Clouds, although he has no record of killing a Nascent Soul cultivator despite being above his cultivation level.

However, the fact that he managed to defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator and escape unscathed using the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Formation is already quite impressive.

Those cultivators who can reach the Nascent Soul stage are basically all sect leaders, and not just any small sects, but famous major sects. Emei is the number one sect of the righteous path.

Aside from the White-Browed True Man whose cultivation level is unknown, there is only one senior brother, Dan Chenzi, who is at the early stage of Earth Immortal, and three Nascent Soul stage cultivators: Li Yingqi and Chang Kong Wuji, who are at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and wield the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, and Duan Lei, who is at the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage and wields the Taiyi Dividing Light Sword.

The fact that the incredibly strong, unknown cultivator in front of them had single-handedly broken through the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Profound Yin Formation and instantly killed Nan Tong was astonishing.
