Chapter 480: Slaying A Perfected Immortal!!!
Upon hearing the Immortal Evil Spirit’s words, the 15 Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits were overjoyed.
If they were to obtain the ownership of those chess pieces, they would definitely be able to avenge their humiliation.
The various Evil Spirits emitted an endless evil aura, making the numerous chess pieces vibrate and fly inside the formation.
The North Sea cultivators were astonished upon seeing such a scene.
If those Evil Spirits were to steal the supreme treasures, wouldn’t they be able to turn the tide?
Even Shen Tian might be in danger.
Everyone was worried as they did not know how Shen Tian would solve this crisis.
...
However, Shen Tian was still calm and composed. He even looked at them in a bantering manner.
He sneered and said, “Is it enough? I still have more!”
Shen Tian waved his hands, and instantly another few thousands of chess pieces flew toward them.
Those chess pieces shone brightly and suddenly shot toward the formation.
The numerous Evil Spirits were delighted and could not help but reveal their hideous smiles as they spoke.
“This kid must have a death wish.”
“Wait until I get my hands on these supreme treasures. I’ll definitely kill him!”
“Looks like we are going to make a killing this time!”
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits stretched out their hands to grab the chess pieces.
Shen Tian’s expression turned cold, and his hand seals changed.
“Heavenly Star Sealing Sword!”
Those chess pieces emitted a powerful aura that was extremely fearsome.
The endless dazzling star energy overflowed in all directions.
The ordinary-looking chess pieces suddenly transformed into countless astral swords that descended with crushing force!
The hundreds of astral swords pierced through the sky and shot toward the Evil Spirits like torrential rain, creating countless holes on the barrier.
“What?”
The Evil Spirits were astounded, and they hurriedly unleashed evil aura, wanting to create the defensive formation again.
However, it was all for naught in front of such a grade of supreme treasure.
Shortly after, the Evil Spirits’ defensive barrier was completely destroyed.
The endless tribulation lightning gathered and exploded the Evil Spirits’ evil aura.
Shen Tian naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, so he directly charged toward them.
The various avatars behind him emitted an immense aura, shaking the earth.
The 10 Lightning Beasts roared, and the Dragon-Phoenix Avatar soared through the sky...
Endless starlight energy spread and formed the starlight Grotto-Heaven with crushing force.
In an instant, the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits’ eyes were filled with fear and terror.
Shen Tian started fighting with the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits after he took out his Divine Sun Cauldron.
The fearsome aura surged throughout the sky and made the sun and moon pale in comparison.
“Uh... Ah!”
“No!”
A miserable howl resounded, causing one’s hair to stand on its end.
Shen Tian seemed heroic and invincible. He was like a peerless Immortal under the enhancement of the 3,000 Dao Tribulation, cleansing the world of evil.
Shortly after, numerous Evil Spirits were slaughtered—it was a shocking scene.
Some had been smashed into mincemeat by the Heavenly Divine Fist—their blood splattered thousands of miles and dyed the sky red.
Some were split into two by the sword, and blood gushed out—their corpses were scattered randomly.
There were even some who were directly burnt into ashes by the True Sun Fire. Their corpses and bones were completely destroyed, and their souls were wiped out.
The 15 originally formidable Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits, a fearsome group of experts that was enough to destroy 90% of the North Sea forces, were like ants in front of Shen Tian, unable to retaliate at all.
Blood was spilled under Shen Tian’s sword and gushed out like a long river, splashing in all directions.
Blood rained down and dyed North Sea red.
...
The 15 Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits were all slain in an instant.
The scene was terrifying. The seawater turned scarlet, and broken limbs were scattered everywhere.
The surrounding s.p.a.ce was in a state of devastation as countless holes had been formed, collapsing into ruins.
Even the powers of heaven and earth would temporarily be unable to restore it.
That battle was earth-shattering, where even heaven and earth were split.
However, Shen Tian was still indifferent as he stood in mid-air, bathing in the light of tribulation lightning.
Endless tribulation lightning struck Shen Tian, transforming into pure divine power that flowed through Shen Tian.
Shortly after, the 3,000 Dao Tribulation finished striking and the Heavenly Tribulation cloud gradually dispersed.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian finally appeared before everyone’s eyes.
He was emitting a powerful Sage aura, which surged throughout the whole place.
His body looked crystal clear as it shone brightly under endless divine light. It was as if there was infinite energy flowing out of him.
At that moment, Shen Tian broke through in the Golden Core Qi Refinement system and reached the stage of One Tribulation Sage.
However, the aura he emitted was even more fearsome than a Sub-Immortal, sending shivers down others’ spines.
...
That scene left everyone slack-jawed.
Ao Bing looked toward Shen Tian, who seemed just like a G.o.d and a demon, and smiled.
As expected of the man I’ve chosen. He’s indeed powerful.
At one side, Shen Aoxue’s heart fluttered.
Is this Father’s true strength?
He’s just too strong!
Father will be my future target that I will pursue.
I’ll definitely cultivate diligently when I return. I can’t disgrace Father!
Shen Aoxue revealed her determined eyes as she made up her mind.
Ao Wu was even more astounded, and he could not help but say, “Just where did Qi Shaoxuan go? Why hasn’t he come to help yet?
“If only I waited for a few more years and signed the contract with Brother Shen.
“It’s such a shame!”
“...”
The strength that Shen Tian had displayed astonished everyone.
Such heroic bearing and battle prowess had surpa.s.sed all prodigies of the past, and no one could even match up to him.
Now that he had transcended the tribulation and become a Sage, just to what extent and how frightening would his strength be?
No one dared to imagine!
...
The Immortal Evil Spirit’s eyes betrayed his astonishment.
Shen Tian’s talent and battle prowess were so shocking that even a Perfected Immortal was astounded. He had never seen such a fearsome prodigy before. It was unprecedented.
“Evil Spirits, leave this world temporarily.”
The Immortal Evil Spirit opened his mouth coldly and ordered the army to retreat.
Shen Tian’s battle prowess was just too formidable. Even 18 Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits were not his opponent and had died here.
If the remaining Evil Spirit members were to stay, they would only be looking for death.
The battle prowess Shen Tian showed struck fear in the Immortal Evil Spirit.
If it was not for the fact that he could not personally appear due to the wormhole being unstable, he would definitely kill Shen Tian there and then.
Shen Tian’s talent was just too terrifying.
If he was allowed to continue cultivating, he would definitely threaten the Evil Spirit race’s invasion.
The Immortal Evil Spirit had already decided to contact his race’s powerful beings once he returned to open the pa.s.sageway again and allow peerless powerful beings to descend.
He had to kill Shen Tian as soon as possible to prevent any future troubles.
...
The remaining three Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits hurriedly retreated upon receiving the Immortal Evil Spirit’s order.
They had already been frightened by Shen Tian’s battle prowess and did not dare to retaliate anymore.
If they continued to stay, they would definitely die.
The three Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits immediately gave up and dashed back into the wormhole, wanting to temporarily leave this world.
The other Evil Spirits had also retreated, and the land finally regained its peacefulness.
The powerful North Sea cultivators heaved a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that they had lasted until Shen Tian rushed here, or else this area would have become a complete wasteland.
The Evil Spirit race was so powerful that North Sea’s forces were no match for them.
Just in the short period that they had battled, the various North Sea races had suffered great losses. There were mountains of corpses.
It was a good thing that it had all ended.
It was all thanks to the Sacred Leader Shen Tian!
...
The Immortal Evil Spirit stood in the wormhole, and his eyes were crimson red, emitting an imposing aura.
His aura was dreadful and fearsome as he spoke in a sinister voice. “Kid, don’t be overly complacent.
“Our Evil Spirit army shall arrive again soon.
“By then, not only this land, but even the whole five regions shall become our Evil Spirit race’s pasture.
“Kid, enjoy the remaining time while you still can!
“I will kill you with my own hands, slice your tendons, your flesh, and your bones bit by bit until you take your last breath.
“Kekekeke!”
Even though they had lost, the Evil Spirit race’s determination toward invading the five regions could not be stopped.
The Immortal Evil Spirit wanted those people to live in endless fear.
“Let’s go!”
The Immortal Evil Spirit waved his hand and led the Evil Spirit race, preparing to retreat to the outer region.
However, just at that moment, Shen Tian’s cold and bantering voice resounded.
“Trying to leave? You think you can leave?”
Shen Tian waved his hand, and the Spherical Heaven Chessboard soared into the sky, through the clouds.
A huge chessboard appeared in the sky suddenly, shining upon the whole sky as it emitted endless divine energy.
Laws surrounded it, and chains of law wrapped around it, sealing the whole s.p.a.ce.
The formation stopped the numerous Evil Spirits that wanted to retreat to the outer realm.
The Immortal Evil Spirit frowned. “Kid, what do you want to do?”
“Naturally, it’s making you stay for tea.”
Shen Tian spoke indifferently as he took out the chess pieces.
The Immortal Evil Spirit narrowed his eyes and said in disdain, “What a joke. Do you really think you can stop me?
“If I want to leave, no one can stop me!”
Although the formation trapped him, the Immortal Evil Spirit did not mind at all.
As a Perfected Immortal, how was it possible that he would be concerned about a mere formation?
“Is that so? You could have a try!”
Shen Tian sneered as he shot the chess pieces.
The brilliant divine light pierced through the sky.
Those chess pieces were just like stars as they scattered through the sky, emitting a bright light.
In that instant, endless laws poured down like shooting stars.
The 36,000 chess pieces floated in the sky, forming a peerless formation that shook heaven and earth.
“This-this is?”
The Immortal Evil Spirit’s body trembled slightly as he suddenly felt a strange fear growing from within.
As the resplendent chess pieces filled up the sky and interweaved like the stars to form the Heavenly Cycle, a mighty power was emitted.
That power was so terrifying it sent shivers down his back.
“Impossible! How is there such a fearsome formation in this world!?” shouted the Immortal Evil Spirit. His evil aura burst out of his body and attacked the formation.
Bang!
A deafening sound echoed.
Although the Immortal Evil Spirit’s attack was formidable and could even turn the world upside down, it could not even cause a ripple on the formation.
“What?”
The Immortal Evil Spirit was dumbfounded. He kept on attacking like he was crazy, and even the whole heaven and earth shook with his attacks.
However, everything was to no avail!
The formation which Shen Tian had set up was the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
Each chess piece used the power of stars from the outer realm to form this peerless formation.
Unless one could crush all 36,000 stars in one go, the formation could not be broken.
Not to mention that the Immortal Evil Spirit was already heavily injured, and his battle prowess was greatly weakened. Even if he was at his peak condition, he did not have such a powerful strength.
It was, in the end, a peerless formation made by the Heavenly Cycle Dao Sutra and even created using the supreme artifact Spherical Heaven Chessboard.
Immortal King Hun Tian’s supreme artifact was not something a normal Perfected Immortal could break through!
The Immortal Evil Spirit started to panic as he vaguely felt that something was wrong. He could sense danger.
However, he still pretended to be calm as he scoffed.
“So what if you can trap me?
“Even if I stand here and let you attack me, you won’t be able to harm me at all.
“When the Evil Spirit army arrives, all of you will still die without a doubt.”
Although the Immortal Evil Spirit was surprised that Shen Tian could set up such a peerless formation to trap him, he did not think that Shen Tian could hurt him.
He was, in the end, a Perfected Immortal with outstanding strength.
Meanwhile, Shen Tian had just become a Sage, so no matter how peerless his battle prowess was, it was impossible to threaten a Perfected Immortal’s life.
The disparity between a Perfected Immortal and Sub-Immortal was like a wide chasm. Not to mention the difference between a Perfected Immortal and True Sage was like heaven and earth, completely unreachable.
The Immortal Evil Spirit was overconfident and conceited, so he continued provoking Shen Tian.
Shen Tian said in a bantering manner, “Then I’ll let you see the true power of this formation!
“Heavenly Cycle Star Formation, activate!”
Shen Tian changed hand seals, and a vast, mighty power was emitted from within him.
The entire sky transformed in the blink of an eye.
Countless chess pieces flashed explosively and started to change rapidly, causing immense starlight to fall down directly.
The resplendent divine radiance interwove and emitted a fearsome aura.
The whole heaven and earth trembled, letting out earth-shattering rumbling sounds and causing everyone’s heart to also quiver with it.
Afterward, endless starlight gathered and formed a huge astral beast that roared toward the sky.
It was a gold dragon that shone brightly with golden light as if it was coated with gold.
That golden Azure Dragon was the 28 Lunar Mansions’ Neck Azure Dragon.
It was humongous and covered the whole sky.
Endless starlight landed on it, and the aura it emitted became increasingly stronger.
Roar!
The Neck Azure Dragon roared toward the sky, shaking heaven and earth.
The power of starlight intimidated all living beings and erupted with an endless divine aura.
In that instant, all the Evil Spirits’ blood ran cold while their souls shivered as if they had plunged into h.e.l.l.
The s.p.a.ce was compressed as if countless stars collided, wanting to annihilate the world.
Bang!
That was the sound of flesh exploding, and it did not stop, causing one’s hair to stand on end.
The low-level Evil Spirits could not block such a power, so their bodies directly exploded, turning into a blood mist that dispersed.
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits’ faces also turned red as blood rushed toward their heads.
The Immortal Evil Spirit’s expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with endless panic. He discovered that he could not block that power at all, and all of his blood was trying to gush out of him.
The Immortal Evil Spirit’s strength was fearsome, so his reaction was not as obvious as the other Evil Spirits’. Nevertheless, he could not help but tremble.
This formation was too frightening—it could kill even a Perfected Immortal!
If he were to stay here, all of his power would be completely drained by that huge astral beast, and he would definitely die.
“No-no! Let me out!”
The Immortal Evil Spirit instantly turned crazy and started to attack with all his might.
However, even a Perfected immortal seemed tiny in front of the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation.
No matter how the Immortal Evil Spirit struggled, he could not damage the formation at all.
Completely absorbing the Immortal Evil Spirit was but just a matter of time.
...
The North Sea cultivators were all astounded.
Even two top cultivators like Ao Ye and Kun Xu were dumbfounded.
The two of them looked at the golden dragon, which was beside Shen Tian, in the sky and exclaimed inwardly*, In the 180 years we’ve not met, Shen Tian has increased his strength so much!?*
Looks like he’s about to kill an Immortal today!
Truly, the new generation surpa.s.ses the old!
This generation is destined to belong to him!
