Chapter 452: A True Immortal Realm Formation
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“This… The land of inheritance left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master has opened!” someone gazed at the white jade stairs and whispered softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, several beams of divine light shot up into the sky, rushing into one of the divine peaks along the white jade stairs.
These people had been waiting here for this moment after such a long time.
Immediately, everyone present began to take action. They transformed into beams of divine light and charged towards the divine peak.
“Fellow Daoists, let us make haste and set off as well,” said Su Chen as he looked at the white jade stairs before him, his eyes flickering before finally settling on the white-haired elder and the middle-aged man from the Golden Crow Clan.
After conversing for the past few days, the three of them had gradually become familiar with one another, to the point where the other two vaguely looked to Su Chen for guidance.
After all, none of them could discern Su Chen’s true cultivation level. This gave the illusion that Su Chen was the strongest among them.
In the world of cultivation, it had always been the case that the most accomplished took the lead. It would be reasonable for the other two to follow Su Chen’s direction.
The white-haired elder and the Golden Crow Clan’s middle-aged man exchanged glances. Then, they stood behind Su Chen and ascended the white jade stairs.
Very quickly, the three of them arrived at the first divine peak.
Glancing around, the surrounding clouds roiled while the divine peaks stretched as far as the eye could see, each comparable to a star with an aura of breathtaking majesty.
The distances between these peaks were vast beyond measure. It would be difficult for even a Nirvana Realm cultivator to traverse from one divine peak to another in their lifetime.
This elicited sighs of admiration at the generosity displayed by the
World-Transcending Sword Master all those years ago.
If they had not borne witness to this sight with their own eyes, no one would have dared believe the Sword Master was capable of such a monumental feat. The divine peaks before them were likely obtained by him condensing entire stars. To create such a phenomenon probably required siphoning the stars of an entire realm!
Even Su Chen was left dumbfounded. The World-Crossing Sword Master’s strength was probably greater than anyone could have imagined!
Su Chen’s gaze slowly panned across the surrounding divine peaks. He could clearly discern thick divine chains connecting each peak. The rest of the area was also covered in dangerous-looking formation patterns.
In other words, the trillions of divine peaks underfoot had coalesced into a ma.s.sive spell formation. If an ordinary person were to recklessly barge in, they would probably instantly transform into a cloud of blood mist.
According to Ye Ruxue’s prior warning, Su Chen understood this was no common Great Emperor Realm formation, but a genuine True Immortal Realm formation! A terrifying one that could slay even immortals! Even True Immortal Realm masters entering it would likely perish inside.
Although Ye Ruxue was well-versed in formations, she too remained trapped within. After all, no matter how formidable she may have been in her previous life, in this incarnation she was still far too weak. Even spotting flaws in certain formations, she lacked the strength to dispel them due to her inadequate cultivation level.
“Fellow Daoist Chen, which way should we go next?” asked the white-haired elder, surveying his surroundings but unable to glean any clues. Ultimately, he placed his hopes in Su Chen.
For the ancient myriad races, formations were more or less a luxury. That wasn’t to say no one among the ancient myriad races was proficient with them. However, compared to humans, formations were their weakness. After all, humans were far too intimate in their application of formations.
And presently, this supremely terrifying grand formation was no less than a life-or-death crisis for them. The slightest misstep could spell their eternal d.a.m.nation!
If not for the inheritance left behind by the World-Transcending Sword Master, they would never have ventured here under any circ.u.mstances.
“There is no need to worry,” said Su Chen with a smile. “To me, this minor formation is insignificant. Having extensively studied formations for many years, I will naturally ensure the two of you pa.s.s through unharmed.”
In truth…
His comprehension of formations was barely scratching the surface. However, Ye Ruxue had already traversed this formation once before. As long as he abided by her guidance, he should not encounter any danger.
“Oh?” Hearing Su Chen’s words prompted the white-haired elder and Golden Crow Clan middle-aged man to exchange glances, pleasant surprise flashing in each other’s eyes.
They did not expect to have chosen the right person so serendipitously. A Great Saint Realm formation master was a precious existence even among the ancient myriad races!
Yet, oddly enough… Neither had ever heard of this Fellow Daoist Chen Su before. This was quite unusual indeed.
No matter how they wracked their brains, the two of them simply could not make sense of it. However, for them, whether they understood or not was irrelevant. After all, most proficient in formations tended to be reclusive. If nothing unexpected occurred, this Fellow Daoist Chen Su should be of a similar mold. To continue dwelling on this would be indicative of their lack of trust in Fellow Daoist Chen Su.
Thinking of this, the two could not help but silently chastise themselves. Fellow Daoist Chen Su had displayed such righteousness, yet here they were, harboring such thoughts about him. They were simply being undutiful!
“Then we shall have to trouble Fellow Daoist Chen!” said the two, exchanging another glance before both cupping their fists deferentially.
“It’s no trouble.” Nodded Su Chen lightly as he led Chen Fan onwards. His gait seemed unhurried, but in truth every step spanned tens of thousands of miles, leaving afterimages in his wake.
As time elapsed, several more days pa.s.sed.
With the speed of three great saints and a saint, they had already traversed over tens of thousands of divine peaks.
Following Ye Ruxue’s directions, Su Chen rapidly approached the core region of the immortal formation. Fortunately, with the formation inactive along their path and Ye Ruxue’s guidance, their party managed to remain free of accidents.
The same could not be said of others. All along the way, they bore witness to several gruesome scenes.
At one point, a Saint King Realm master even perished not far from them. His entire body had been obliterated beyond recognition, presenting a horrific sight. It was truly difficult to believe this mangled corpse was once a Saint King Realm master…
Although presently inert, this ancient immortal grand formation nevertheless brimmed with unseen danger. Outwardly appearing devoid of risk, that did not mean one could go traipsing about recklessly. Inadvertently brushing against or treading upon any formation pattern would instantly reactivate that section of the great formation.
Let alone a saint king, even a quasi-emperor paying a personal visit would meet their demise!
