Tearing through the void often produced void turbulence. Ordinary turbulence was manageable enough, but once the turbulence coalesced into a storm, things became far more difficult to handle.
The Ancient Seven Kill Formation had actually torn open the void within the formation itself, creating a void storm!
How could Jiang Chen not be shocked?
"This Ancient Danxiao Sect truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient sect. The depth of their formation arts, with so many variations — it absolutely surpasses every sect in the Myriad Image Territory. Even those first-rate sects might not compare."
Shocked as he was, Jiang Chen knew he absolutely could not let himself be swept away by the void storm.
He guessed that being carried off by the void storm probably wouldn't put his life in danger — he might simply be swept outside the formation. But since Jiang Chen had entered to break the formation, he would never allow himself to give up halfway!
He drove the Primordial Magnetic Gold Mountain continuously, and his Dharma Body grew steadily larger. The three-zhang golden body from before soon expanded to over ten zhang.
Jiang Chen raised both hands, and the Primordial Magnetic Gold Mountain transformed into a mass of golden light that crashed downward with devastating force.
BOOM!
The crack in the void was struck by the tremendous magnetic force and collapsed with a thunderous roar.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Several deafening explosions rang out in succession as the spatial cracks collapsed one by one, and the surroundings returned to a clear, bright sky.
With raw power crushing all clever techniques, Jiang Chen felt a tremendous sense of satisfaction.
"With increased strength, crushing everything through absolute power — it's way more satisfying than any flashy trick!" Jiang Chen discovered that after entering the Heavenly Origin Realm, his combat ability had improved dramatically. Especially after gradually bringing out the full potential of his various treasures, his combat power had practically multiplied. Now, although he was only at the eighth level of the Origin Realm, if he went head-to-head against someone like Wang Han at the first level of the Saint Realm, he would have at least a seventy to eighty percent chance of winning.
Thinking back to when Wang Han had ambushed him, Jiang Chen felt anger surge in his heart. Wang Han had flaunted his power and humiliated the disciples of Danqian Palace more than once. Now that Jiang Chen's strength had increased so dramatically, Wang Han was the first person he wanted to crush.
However, Jiang Chen did not let his thoughts wander too far. He knew he was still inside the Ancient Seven Kill Formation. He had only broken six formations — there should be one more killing formation left.
But judging by the clear sky and bright air, what could this final killing formation be?
Jiang Chen did not dare to let his guard down. He knew these formations could change in the blink of an eye. As long as the formation remained unbroken, he could never afford to be careless.
Jiang Chen focused his attention and spread his divine sense over several thousand meters around him.
Suddenly, Jiang Chen's Heavenly Eye Divine Pupil narrowed slightly as he spotted a cyan cloud drifting across the blue sky overhead.
"Hmm? What's that?"
In the span of a single thought, the cyan cloud suddenly tore apart, and a bolt of cyan lightning split across the sky, crashing down toward him.
"You've got to be kidding me — a Heavenly Thunder Killing Formation?" Jiang Chen was stunned.
He knew the Ancient Seven Kill Formation was formidable, but he hadn't expected it to be able to summon a lightning formation as well. What kind of monstrous genius had created this formation?
Although the absolute destructive level of this formation wasn't particularly high — the trial outweighed the killing itself — Jiang Chen couldn't help but marvel at the formation's capacity for transformation. One formation, seven kills — it truly lived up to its reputation!
However, the Thunder Kill Formation was the one Jiang Chen feared least. Setting aside the fact that he had refined the Golden Cicada Thundercloud Wood within his body, even without it, having fused with the Golden Cicada Bloodline made him immune to all poisons and impervious to all lightning. How could Jiang Chen possibly fear the Thunder Kill Formation? With the Golden Cicada Bloodline, the number of heavenly thunders capable of hurting him could be counted on one hand.
Jiang Chen smiled faintly, dismissed his Dharma Body, and let the cyan lightning strike him head-on.
CRACK!
The cyan lightning arc landed on Jiang Chen's body but felt no more significant than a single drop of rain, vanishing instantly.
Then, clouds of every color came swirling across the sky — cyan, purple, green, orange…
Lightning arcs in a rainbow of colors rained down upon him without cease.
Jiang Chen bathed in the barrage of lightning without so much as a reaction. Every arc that touched his body seemed to be swallowed by some invisible force, vanishing completely.
In the Ancient Seven Kill Formation, the Thunder Kill Formation was the grand finale — the most powerful and terrifying of all the killing formations. Yet for Jiang Chen, it had become the easiest one to overcome. His expression was as relaxed as if he were taking a casual stroll through a thunderstorm.
…
The lightning formation vanished, and every sight before his eyes dissolved into the void. A formation disc dropped once more into Jiang Chen's hand, and he found himself standing in the corridor again.
The Ancient Seven Kill Formation — successfully broken!
Jiang Chen turned the formation disc over in his hands, studying the engravings on its surface. It was clearly more refined and intricate than the Minor Formless Formation's disc.
"Tsk tsk, this formation disc really is extraordinary. It can even adjust the formation's difficulty level?"
Jiang Chen studied the formation disc carefully and discovered that it was remarkably advanced — capable of adjusting the difficulty of the formation.
"Oh, so the Ancient Seven Kill Formation I just broke through was only the simplest level simulated by this disc. There are two more higher difficulty levels?"
