The Wuxi Sword was slowly being pulled out.
Seeing that even the tip of the sword was about to leave the Sword-Releasing Stone, Lord Chunning revealed a maniacal smile.
“Haha—— hahaha—— let me see how this world looks more wretched than my face!”
But at that moment, the Wuxi Sword suddenly trembled, causing Lord Chunning’s hands to bleed. It spun around and flew away.
At that instant, the Wuyi Sword Sea came crashing down!
Even in places far from Wuyi Jingtian, people could hear the roaring sword intent.
The common people ran frantically, shouting loudly.
“The sky is falling—— the sky is falling——”
Plants bent down, mountains seemed to bear a heavy burden, and river waters flowed as slowly as if frozen…
But the moment Shu Wuxi grabbed the Wuxi Sword, the sword sea reversed its flow, clouds churned, and transformed into a massive torrent.
Lu Xiaochan stood to the side on his sword, watching as Shu Wuxi stood at the edge, taking back the collapsing Wuyi Sword Sea!
With that magnificent force, Shu Wuxi released all his spiritual energy, seeming to merge with the sword sea, commanding all sword intent under heaven!
This grand spectacle of heaven and earth left Lu Xiaochan stunned for a long while.
“Lord Chunning, did you really think that taking my sword would release Chaos?”
Shu Wuxi looked at Lord Chunning with cold eyes.
Lu Xiaochan could barely recognize Lord Chunning’s spiritual energy – it was just a black mass, like a bottomless abyss.
Lord Chunning turned around. The black cloak on her body flew away with the wind, revealing her unparalleled beautiful face.
By this time, Ling Nianwu, Lord Miaochen Yuan, and others had arrived on their swords.
When Mo Qianqiu saw Lord Chunning, he sneered, “Why does this woman’s face seem even more detestable than it was a thousand years ago?”
Lord Chunning showed no fear at all and burst into laughter.
“Wonderful! This is wonderful! I’ve finally seen everyone I wanted to see! Now I won’t have to find you one by one!”
This wild and sinister voice didn’t belong to a woman at all.
Lu Xiaochan concentrated his spiritual energy in his eyes to observe carefully, and suddenly was shocked.
“She’s been possessed by a Demon Lord!”
“Demon Lord? Which Demon Lord?”
Mo Qianqiu thought to himself that back in Xiyuan, Demon Lords Luli and Miyi under the Evil God Chaos had been refined, so who was this one controlling Lord Chunning?
It didn’t matter who it was. Shu Wuxi, holding the Wuxi Sword, released all his spiritual energy. A sword formation shot directly at Lord Chunning, air rushed into it, emerging decisive and merciless – this was truly what it meant to swallow mountains and rivers!
Lu Xiaochan had thought this Heaven’s Palace Sword Formation would not only refine the Demon Lord Wangsha but also destroy Lord Chunning’s body. However, he hadn’t expected that the thousands of troops and horses from the Heaven’s Palace Sword Formation would all charge into Lord Chunning’s eyes.
Such a powerful sword formation, yet Shu Wuxi controlled it with incredible precision, not missing a single detail!
Demon Lord Wangsha was gradually stripped from Lord Chunning’s body by this powerful force. They watched as her restored face slowly returned to its horrifying appearance.
“It’s you! It’s you! I am like this today, all because of you—-” she looked at Mo Qianqiu, her hatred undiminished.
Lord Chunning’s body was inevitably being destroyed by Shu Wuxi’s sword formation, falling apart like flowing sand bit by bit, while Wangsha within her body viciously said, “Your obsession is just this little! What use is it!”
Lord Chunning had gone to great lengths to reach Mo Qianqiu’s front. Though her flesh was dispersing, she persistently reached out, trying to grab Mo Qianqiu’s throat.
“You are like this today because of yourself. What does it have to do with me?” Mo Qianqiu’s voice was indifferent and cold.
He gently blew a breath of air. Lord Chunning opened her eyes wide looking at Mo Qianqiu, suddenly realizing something and becoming extremely frightened, but it was all too late. She turned to dust and disappeared.
Everyone had thought Wangsha would flee in panic, but unexpectedly, he came before Shu Wuxi, swirled around once, and his evil spirit body took on Lu Xiaochan’s appearance, sometimes smiling, sometimes playful, perfectly mimicking him.
“Lord Yang Cang, you’ve stayed in this lonely place for thousands of years, watching the sun, moon, and stars cycle endlessly, like a thousand-year lake without life, until Lu Xiaochan came like a dragonfly touching water… You want to have him all to yourself, to spend forever with him, with no one else between you, isn’t this the perfect opportunity?”
Lu Xiaochan was greatly shocked – Wangsha was too bold, daring to provoke Shu Wuxi face to face?
“I, Lu Xiaochan, am right here! Who told you I’m unwilling to spend forever with him——”
Lu Xiaochan was so angry his core almost exploded. He swung his sword, immediately drawing out the Tailing Zhenyuan from his waist, and great waters entered the formation, rushing straight at Wangsha!
But Shu Wuxi calmly raised his eyes to look at Wangsha, as if looking at his former self.
“I already have him. For thousands and tens of thousands of years, there has never been anything between us.”
In that instant, the Tailing Clearance Spell in Shu Wuxi’s brow was triggered and released, pure and ethereal. Wangsha was blasted away and trapped in Lu Xiaochan’s sword formation, suffering greatly.
“As expected of Wangsha, the most troublesome Demon Lord under Evil God Chaos. We are all the highest cultivators in the immortal world, yet it still repeatedly provokes us!”
“It’s because it refined the thousand-year spiritual energy of the spirit vine ‘Thousand Li Chanjuan’… its evil energy greatly increased.” Lu Xiaochan tried to trap Wangsha in his formation.
At this time, Shu Wuxi was kneeling on one knee in the direction of the immortal tree “Fengtian”, head lowered, one hand supporting his sword, the other hand covering the ground. His spiritual energy penetrated beneath the crystal jade, seeming to detect something.
Lord Miaochen Yuan and Mo Qianqiu attacked simultaneously, their sword formations merging as one, but unexpectedly, they were blocked by Wangsha.
Shu Wuxi turned around, his gaze growing cold, and spoke in an extremely chilling voice, “You dare to think of releasing Chaos——”
Lu Xiaochan watched as Shu Wuxi’s spiritual energy was no longer contained, merging with the vast Wuyi Sword Sea as one. The sword sea surged, forming an overwhelming momentum, and the sword formation came down like a flood.
Shu Wuxi’s spiritual energy was like flowing clouds and waterfalls, immeasurable.
This was the first time Lu Xiaochan had seen the true Shu Wuxi – it seemed all descriptions became shallow in comparison.
Shu Wuxi’s sword formation locked Wangsha in place, spiritual pressure layering down, but from the bottom of Wuyi Jingtian, an evil and enormous force rose up, opened its mouth, and made a soul-shaking sound, swallowing Wangsha along with Shu Wuxi’s sword formation in one gulp.
Lu Xiaochan was dumbfounded. “What… what was that……”
“It’s Evil God Chaos!”
Lord Miaochen Yuan had fought with Chaos over a thousand years ago. She reacted extremely quickly, following with her Nirvana Formation, but this huge evil energy that could swallow Shu Wuxi’s sword formation naturally included hers as well.
At the same time, the immortal tree Fengtian that had been covering the peak of Wuyi Jingtian suddenly split open from its roots all the way up.
The sound of the splitting made everyone startled.
Lu Xiaochan was completely stunned. “That… that’s an immortal tree!”
The thick black evil energy turned into claws and tore apart “Fengtian”, and a golden eye appeared faintly.
Lu Xiaochan felt as if his soul could no longer stay in his body, until Shu Wuxi suddenly blocked in front of him.
“Don’t look——”
The strong spiritual pressure brought Lu Xiaochan back to his senses.
The Wuyi Sword Sea surged unstably, the sky suddenly grew dark, and shadows spread outward from Wuyi Jingtian.
“This is bad! We’ve all fallen into Wangsha’s trap!” Mo Qianqiu shouted.
“What trap?” Lu Xiaochan hadn’t understood yet, as Shu Wuxi pushed him backward with one hand.
The crack in the center of the immortal tree “Fengtian” grew larger and larger, and that golden eye became clearer and clearer.
Although Shu Wuxi was blocking in front of him, the evil energy from that eye was too strong. Even through Shu Wuxi’s thick elixir sea, Lu Xiaochan could still see it!
“The entire Wuyi Jingtian is in an evil formation! To activate this great formation, Wangsha sacrificed himself!”
With Lord Miaochen Yuan’s reminder, Lu Xiaochan finally understood that Wangsha’s absorption of the spirit vine’s thousand-year essence wasn’t for pulling out the Wuxi Sword, but to gain power to lay the evil formation and release Chaos from beneath the immortal tree “Fengtian”.
Now, they had all fallen into the evil formation, and Wangsha probably wanted to refine them all together to become Evil God Chaos’s power!
“Leave the formation eye immediately.”
Shu Wuxi didn’t hesitate to fight, decisively wrapped one arm around Lu Xiaochan’s waist, and rose on his sword.
Others also quickly flew away, having to use all their strength to leave the formation eye.
This evil formation formed a huge vortex. The immortal tree “Fengtian” completely split open, and the sound of it falling in all directions was deafening.
That eye that had been only half-closed suddenly opened completely. In an instant, as if time was flowing backward, Lu Xiaochan was pulled by an irresistible force, about to be sucked into that eye.
Shu Wuxi, in order to hold the formation, hadn’t completely escaped the evil formation. He grabbed Lu Xiaochan with one hand, and in that instant, the force almost tore both their arms and flesh apart!
The nine layered Linglong cold jade in Wuyi Jingtian also collapsed and disintegrated with it, as if these three thousand worlds would also be sucked in.
Shu Wuxi gripped his sword tightly and closed his eyes.
Lu Xiaochan watched as Shu Wuxi’s elixir sea energy whirled, and the Wuyi Sword Sea let out roaring thunderous sounds, instantly converging to form a giant sword, covered in lightning, with winds and clouds sweeping in!
Lord Miaochen Yuan shouted loudly, “It’s the ‘Question Heaven’ sword formation——”
When Mo Qianqiu and others heard this warning, they immediately flew away quickly.
They rose on their swords, trying to reach the peak of the “Question Heaven” sword formation.
“Will Xiaochan and Shu Wuxi be alright!” Mo Qianqiu asked.
“I don’t know——” Lord Miaochen Yuan answered.
“Then let’s go to the peak of the Question Heaven sword formation, use the four-direction sword formation to suppress this evil formation, and give Shu Wuxi a chance to escape with Xiaochan!”
Although Ling Nianwu was concerned about Lu Xiaochan, he knew that if they weren’t decisive now, the consequence would be mutual destruction.
“We only have three people, how can we use the four-direction sword formation to suppress it?” Mo Qianqiu shouted.
“Hasn’t Lord Lianyue arrived?” Ling Nianwu raised his chin.
They saw a silver light rapidly approaching from the north.
“Lianyue——form the formation——” Lord Miaochen Yuan had no time for reunion.
Lianyue barely avoided the gathering Question Heaven sword formation, the domineering sword energy brushing past him, making a ripping sound as half his robe was torn. Ye Linshuang almost fell from his arms, but Lianyue pressed him back.
“See, see! I told you we should have stayed in the Northern Sea! Even if the Wuyi Sword Sea fell, it couldn’t flood the entire Northern Sea——”
“Pa——” Lianyue’s face was struck with a red mark.
With experts stationed in all four directions, Lord Lianyue Yuan with the radiance of all things, Lord Miaochen Yuan with the temperature of sun and moon, Mo Qianqiu borrowing the souls of living beings, and Ling Nianwu directly taking the roaring sound of the Wuyi Sword Sea, the four-direction sword formation connected, creating an extremely magnificent spectacle.
All things seemed to sense the danger of life and death, lending their power to this formation.
Lu Xiaochan saw that Shu Wuxi was too close to the eye of the evil formation. He understood that once the Question Heaven sword formation fell, neither he nor Shu Wuxi could escape.
Meanwhile, countless hands reached out from that golden eye, climbing up Lu Xiaochan’s legs, gradually moving upward to wrap around him.
