The Mao Jiao Mountain battlefield.
Very little of the Five-colored Smoke Miasma remained. Di Cangsheng roared again and again, his vast power surging without end as he tore savagely through the grand formation. His colossal body, massive as a mountain range, continued to charge forward with terrifying ferocity.
"We can't stop it!"
"Another sub-formation has been ripped apart!"
"How many sub- formations do we have left?"
"Only the last one remains!"
"Hurry, set up sub-formations!"
"It won't work—the enemy's destruction is too violent. There simply isn't enough time!"
Chaos erupted within the Nine-Nine Chain Unending Formation. Many Central Continent Gu Immortals were stationed here, but under the suppression of the Five-colored Smoke Miasma, whether they were manipulating the grand formation or laying down sub-formations, they suffered backlash at every moment. The stronger the individual, the harder they worked, and the more devastating the backlash became.
Di Cangsheng was incomparably mighty. Relying on his own combat power alone, he could swiftly breach any sub-formation.
He was growing ever stronger.
The Five Regions' boundary walls were weakening further. The five great earth veins were gradually merging into one, and the deep chasm spreading toward the Imperial Emperor City was glaring proof of this phenomenon. The chasm had already extended into the heart of Central Continent, demonstrating that the convergence of the earth veins had reached its peak.
In both the Four Regions and Central Continent, the rapid spread of the new chasm had triggered countless tragedies—lives devastated, the people's suffering and outrage surging like a flood.
Di Cangsheng differed from most of the Great Ancient Legends. He was born from the fusion of earth vein power and the negative emotions of the human race.
Now that Central Continent's earth vein had expanded to encompass the earth veins of all Five Regions, Di Cangsheng's power had exploded fivefold. And as the negative emotions of humanity continued to surge and spiral—expanding from the people of Central Continent to the people of all Five Regions—Di Cangsheng's strength would soar yet again because of this!
Lord Dragon grew stronger because of the Dragon Imperial Honored Guest killer move.
But the speed at which Di Cangsheng grew stronger was even more terrifying than Lord Dragon's. Thus, even with the main forces of the Heavenly Court here, each deploying their utmost abilities and fighting with desperate resolve, they could not halt Di Cangsheng's advance.
The main forces of the Heavenly Court watched with eyes splitting from fury.
"We cannot let it advance any further."
"Even if it costs us our lives, we must stop it!"
"That cursed evil dragon."
"Everyone, stand back—let me block it!" Zhang Feixiong suddenly roared, transforming into a giant with the head of a bear and the body of a man, and charged forward with utter disregard for death.
Bam.
A muffled impact. He was ground directly into blood mist and flesh, his body destroyed, his Dao extinguished.
This Eighth Transformation transformation-path powerhouse had, at most, only slightly delayed Di Cangsheng for a moment.
"Zhang Feixiong…" The Immortals of the Heavenly Court could not help but feel tears welling in their eyes.
At the critical moment, the members of the Heavenly Court did not count the cost of sacrifice!
"Leave it to me." The next instant, Flesh Whip Immortal rushed forward. She transformed into the Ancient Walking Flesh Tree—this was her most powerful form.
Bam.
Another muffled impact. Flesh Whip Immortal was smashed into shattered remnants of limbs, blood raining in all directions.
"Flesh Whip Immortal!" the assembled immortals cried out in low voices.
When she was needed, she charged forward without hesitation. An august Eighth Transformation cultivator, a genius of her generation, all to buy merely a single breath of time.
Even the Southern Border immortals could not help but be moved.
What drove them?
It seemed… it had always been this way, from ancient times to the present. The Gu Immortals of the Heavenly Court were always like this.
The spirit they upheld had never waned, and had only grown ever brighter.
The Heavenly Court never lacked martyrs!
Though Yuan Shi had departed, his spirit would never die!
"What a pity. All your efforts are in vain." Wu Shuai sent out his will, and countless clones flew forth from the Dragon Palace.
The Pure Dream Seeker Truth Bodies!
These Dream Path clones surged forward as a vanguard, flying to the front of Di Cangsheng to launch a surprise attack on the last sub-formation.
"Watch me!" Under the expectant gazes of the assembled immortals, Feng Jinhuang stepped forward, her youthful face full of earnest solemnity.
Drawing on the power of the immortal formation, she activated the Immortal Killer Move: Dream Shatter.
Bam, bam, bam…
The Pure Dream Seeker Truth Bodies detonated one after another, transforming on the spot into swirling masses of dream that slowly diffused outward.
Immortal Killer Move—Pure Dream Seeker Truth Transformation!
Feng Jinhuang activated yet another technique.
The dreams restored from the self-detonations transformed once more into human figures, but this time they served Feng Jinhuang.
With Feng Jinhuang present, the Dream Path was no longer the Heavenly Court's weak point.
"Then how about this!" Before the Heavenly Court could even catch its breath, at the critical moment another massive formation was hurled out of the Dragon Palace.
Five Realms Great Limit Formation!
The Five-colored Smoke Miasma surged forth once more, spreading rapidly to cover the entire battlefield.
The eyes of the Heavenly Court's main forces turned red. Zhu Que'er shrieked, "Destroy it quickly!"
Xuan Kong Tongzi and Jun Shenguang had already rushed toward it.
"It's too late." From within the formation, Zhan Bu Du let out a triumphant shout.
He had finally lived up to expectations. At this critical moment, he had repaired and perfected the entire formation, and it could fight once more!
The Five-colored Smoke Miasma roiled and surged, enveloping the sub-formation.
Pfft, pfft, pfft.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals who were still setting up the formation were caught off guard. One after another they vomited blood; many collapsed on the spot, and some were killed instantly by the backlash.
Having fought to this point, they were already at the end of their rope. The Five Realms Great Limit Formation became their final death sentence.
As for the Gu Immortals operating the grand formation, they too were forced to ease their efforts, struggling all the while to endure the damage of the backlash.
Awoooo—!
Di Cangsheng seized the opportunity to surge forward once more, crashing directly through the very last sub-formation. The Nine-Nine Chain Unending Formation had finally… been broken!
The formation shattered, light and shadow dissipated, revealing the Mao Jiao Mountain that had been concealed within all along.
This mountain was small, utterly unremarkable—plain and ordinary in every way. Yet it cradled the Undefeated Blessed Land.
Across the slopes of Mao Jiao Mountain lay the main formation's Gu Immortals in heaps.
The shattering of the formation had dealt them another devastating blow. Almost no one on the field remained conscious.
Most of the Gu Immortals had already lost all signs of life. Only a scattered few remained in a dazed half-awareness. Even Feng Jinhuang, who had been most carefully protected, was deathly pale, collapsed on the ground without the slightest strength to stand or flee.
In this moment, she could only watch helplessly as Di Cangsheng charged toward her, utterly powerless, resigned to death.
Death loomed closer. The crushing sense of threat made Feng Jinhuang feel suffocated.
"Am I going to die?" In that instant, this young female Gu Master felt a wave of confusion.
"Protect Feng Jinhuang!"
"Get her out of here!"
"Never mind the Undefeated Blessed Land—the final success Dao marks have already been sent to the Heavenly Court."
The main forces of the Heavenly Court fought desperately to rally back, trying to rescue Feng Jinhuang.
"Don't even think about it!" The Southern Border Gu Immortals grinned savagely as they simultaneously exerted their power, doing everything they could to pin down the Heavenly Court immortals.
Wu Yong stirred the Boundless Wind, which howled forth—a colossal tornado pillar that stretched from earth to sky. The tremendous gale held back a large number of Heavenly Court immortals.
