Chapter 461: The Might of a True Immortal Realm Formation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Clan had never imagined he would witness such an incredible scene in his lifetime. This was simply unbelievable!
“Could this be…a formation?” The Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man trembled, turning his head stiffly to suppress his fear as he gazed at Su Chen and Ye Ruxue in the distance.
He found it unbelievable. Even with the aid of a supreme weapon like a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon, it would be difficult to withstand such pressure. Yet the two before him emerged unscathed, as if completely unaffected.
This was inconceivable and extremely unbelievable!
“Did you two do this?” the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man asked, teeth chattering.
Though extremely reluctant to believe his own thoughts, the truth lay plainly before him. Moreover, his intuition suggested all of this somehow involved Su Chen, or rather, the woman behind him!
After all, a Quasi-Saint Realm woman reaching this point was already odd. Without any trump cards, she could never have made it here. One had to know that even he, the white-haired elder, and Su Chen as Great Saint Realm experts had expended great effort just to arrive here. A Quasi-Saint Realm cultivator safely attaining this place was nothing short of a miracle.
“Fellow Daoist, you should go on your way peacefully; this is not your concern,” Su Chen said mildly. He repeated the same response given earlier by the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man to the white-haired elder.
“Impossible!” the middle-aged cried in disbelief. “You haven’t pa.s.sed the Sword Master’s test or obtained his inheritance – how could you control this formation left behind? Su Chen, what means did you employ?”
The Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man shot toward them in divine rays, seeking to capture Ye Ruxue and force her to reveal the incantation for manipulating the formation. One had to know this was a True Immortal Realm formation! Controlling it carried power rivaling a Great Emperor Realm powerhouse! If his clan gained mastery of it, restoring their peak status would be a matter of time. Once this formation was theirs, the Golden Crows would reign supreme among the demons again!
Yet he found only disappointment.
A strange sound echoed through the void as if something wept from a vast distance away. The mournful cry shook heaven and earth, wholly immobilizing the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man despite his struggles.
At that moment, numbness crept across his scalp as an icy chill emanated from his marrow before swiftly permeating his entire being. Even one so mighty felt the despairing grip of terror!
That strange sound wasn’t loud or shrill, yet it profoundly stirred the soul and evoked dread. At the horizon’s limit, an unfathomably vast black hurricane manifested, blanketing the firmament in an instant. Howling over the landscape, its pa.s.sage brought only death, even devouring the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.
The scene was far too horrifying for belief had one not witnessed it directly.
The Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man soundlessly pleaded, but couldn’t vocalize a single word. His golden eyes brimmed with appeal, yet it was futile. Helpless, he watched the black winds gradually engulf him completely.
In a mere breath, the hurricane had swept past. Where the Golden Crow Clan middle-aged ma once stood now held only a treasure wheel suspended quietly in midair. Its divine radiance had dimmed, displaying traces of erosion that made it seem weathered by the merciless pa.s.sage of eons. Even the Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon’s spirituality appeared grievously diminished, and turned strikingly lackl.u.s.ter.
“As expected of a True Immortal Realm formation!” marveled Su Chen. “Just one black gale can overwhelm even a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon…”
Reaching out, he drew the battered weapon over for closer inspection. While too distant earlier to discern clearly, up close it became apparent the Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon had sustained catastrophic degradation – not only in spiritual terms but materially as well. Once divine metal, the fundamental components verged on dropping an entire grade under corrosive a.s.sault.
In strict terms, this could no longer be considered a Quasi-Emperor Realm weapon; at best, it could only be regarded as a divine weapon of the saint king level, potentially even less powerful than some top-tier Great Saint Realm weapons.
“So terrifying, truly so terrifying. If a few more of these black hurricanes come, I’m afraid even Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouses, if they personally come here, would have to fall with regret!” Su Chen sighed as he looked at the scene before him.
The formation here had not fully revived yet. It was only a partial revival guided by Ye Ruxue. It was hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be if the entire immortal formation started operating at the same time! Likely every living thing contained herein would perish outright…
“An immortal formation’s might defies the ordinary, even for me initially…” Ye Ruxue had drifted to Su Chen’s side as she softly began to speak, lovely face clouded with emotion.
But before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly realized something and quickly stopped herself.
“Hehe…” Su Chen naturally heard the latter part of her sentence but pretended not to, smiling at her and saying, “At your age, even if you can only grasp and control part of the formation, it’s still commendable.”
Then, he walked forward, speaking as he went, “Let’s go! It’s time for us to explore and see what the inheritance left by the World-Transcending Sword Master is truly like. I’m very interested in this inheritance, wondering if it contains what I’m looking for..”
