The Stars Beyond

Chapter 524: All-Spirit Subduing Heaven

In the Cloud Sea Mountain Range of the New World, six supreme treasures resonated together, forming a light mirror that truthfully reflected the ongoing battle in the depths of the universe.

The situation became awkward. Qi Tian was humiliated, he thought everything was over, believing he had subdued Wang Xuan and consumed his special heritage.

However, the situation on the battlefield was intense. He was surprisingly at a disadvantage. Everyone saw him being slashed by ten thousand swords until his body was covered in blood. Especially when he was almost split in half from his forehead to his abdomen by Jiang Qingyao's Purple Celestial Dao Sword. He nearly died.

"Interesting, a mortal who can fight against an immortal, this young man is extraordinary!" The evil spirit in the Pool of Life spoke up, deeply surprised by Wang Xuan.

"Well done, truly worthy of my attention!" The man of the shadow couple shouted loudly. He had been feeling frustrated just now and was almost bursting into flames, but now he felt much relieved.

No one had expected the situation on the battlefield to reverse. Qi Tian became very passive after he was trapped in a killing formation, experiencing numerous life and death crises. Especially now, as the killing formation operated at full power, even more ferocious than before, Wang Xuan controlled ten thousand swords and slashed at Qi Tian's main body.

In the universe, the aura of killing surged. This was a battle of life and death where only one side could survive. There were no other options available.

Wang Xuan firmly held the enlarged Life Essence Furnace, using it as the central formation platform. Then, he controlled the ten thousand swords and unleashed terrifying attacks upon Qi Tian.

At that moment, there was a sea of blades and Sword Qi filled the entire area. The scene was radiant like a starry river ignited.

Qi Tian's immortal aura weakened, staggering. His hair was stained with blood as he struggled to withstand the endless sword light. With a puff sound, his shoulder was struck by a red blade as he couldn't defend himself, and his scapula almost flew off.

"Purple Celestial Dao Sword!" shouted Jiang Qingyao as her spirit surged. She was also standing in a special place now, activating her celestial sword, coordinating with the Number One Killing Formation, evolving endless sword lights.

One after another, extremely terrifying purple lights flew out, hitting Qi Tian several times, making him bleed profusely. He had almost been slain by Jiang Qingyao! At that moment, Jiang Qingyao and Wang Xuan joined forces, controlling the Number One Killing Formation together. They unleashed its power to the fullest extent that was possible.

In the universe, there were blood-dripping black demon swords, crimson immortal slaying swords, the Yin Sword rumored to be forged in the Nine Netherworlds, and the Heavenly Sword that could illuminate all beings... It was endless, they all fell down in unison, intending to dismember Qi Tian.

This scene moved everyone watching the battle in the New World. This was a killing formation that could kill them too. Some of the peerless transcendents present were astonished.

"Qi Tian is being struck by the sword light even while holding the Ascension Banner. It's quite terrifying!" The founder of the Superlative Palace sighed. The newcomers in the real world were indeed not simple, they were truly formidable.

"The Number One Killing Formation in the Immortal Realm!" The Sword Lunatic's insight was keen. He immediately recognized what kind of formation it was and focused on the development of the situation on the battlefield.

In the depths of the universe, Qi Tian's mouth was full of blood foam, and his bones could be seen piercing out of his body. He used the Ascension Banner to resist, painstakingly perfecting his killing formation.

If Celestial Sword Maiden didn't destroy it, he would have arranged it long ago. He almost vomited blood when his opponent dismantled his formation and used his materials to supplement Wang Xuan's killing formation.

Especially after Wang Xuan’s killing formation was revived, it immediately began to destroy his various formation banners. Fortunately, the formation materials he prepared were still quite sufficient.

Moreover, the formations he laid down were carefully arranged, nested within each other. One set of formations was destroyed by those two individuals and was obviously unusable now. But now, another set was revived, and activated. With a thunderous sound, he stood in the center of his formation, controlling the Ascension Banner, using it as the central banner, to strangle those two individuals.

This was a confrontation of formations, a clash of supreme treasures, and a manifestation of personal strength. This area became a veritable hellish battlefield. Grand fluctuations, terrifying rules, constantly expanded in the icy void of the universe. Areas that were originally untouched were now swept by ripples of order.

In that area, meteorite clusters disintegrated in swathes. Even thousand feet-long meteorites were insignificant, crumbling and shattering in the ripples, completely pulverized.

In an instant, various creatures rose from Qi Tian's formation. True Dragons leaped, Immortal Birds hovered, and Golden Crows sang. The scene was quite astonishing.

In the blink of an eye, four black dragons and four red dragons soared up, rushing toward Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao. There were also nine golden crows crying out, carrying endless flames, aiming to destroy the Number One Killing Formation.

Not only that, there were also lions roaring, white peacocks soaring through the sky, legendary sacred beasts and divine birds, as well as the appearances of returning immortals standing in different areas. This was the All-Spirit Subduing Heaven Great Formation.

"The legendary number three killing formation!" exclaimed Jiang Qingyao, recognizing the formation. It was indeed very powerful, and the key was that Qi Tian was well-prepared. He used only the best materials for his formation.

Wang Xuan's Number One Killing Formation was a simplified version, and some of the precious materials and treasures were simply unavailable after the arrival of the mythical end of the world.

Fortunately, their formation contained the Life Essence Furnace and the Purple Celestial Dao Sword, two supreme divine objects. They effectively enhanced the power of the Number One Killing Formation.

The two large-scale killing formations collided, causing an earth-shattering explosion, with myriad spirits roaring, and countless sword lights radiating. The two sides fought decisively there.

"Control all the Dao under the heavens!" Wang Xuan shouted. He didn't care despite seeing that the opponent's formation had myriad immortals appearing, various holy beasts and divine birds roaring.

As the Number One Killing Formation, the formation could theoretically control various rules of the world and unleash the power of myriad rules. As long as there were past Wills of Scriptures, the abilities demonstrated by those myriad spirits, myriad fires, and myriad swords could all be manifested.

For a moment, the two formations were bright and dazzling, various bronze monuments, formation banners, and many more, trembled violently. They were rustling, and boundless killing intent swept through the starry sky.

Strange illusions of myriad immortals also appeared in the formation controlled by Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao. They naturally couldn't exert the true power of myriad immortals in the real world. However, this was the embodiment of the rules, and the destructive power was still considerable!

In the two killing formations, divine birds and fierce beasts confronted each other, myriad immortals fought, various powers of order emerged, and the flames of the Great Dao burned, as if returning to the most tragic battlefield of ancient times.

Both sides were going into madness from the killing. Constantly shaking the Life Essence Furnace, at the most intense moment, Wang Xuan even smashed the lid of the furnace towards Qi Tian.

The Ascension Banner shook violently, reflecting off the lid of the furnace. Even so, Qi Tian's entire arm was numb, with blood flowing down.

Meanwhile, Celestial Sword Maiden took advantage of the situation and wielded the Purple Celestial Dao Sword. With a slash, she almost beheaded Qi Tian. Unfortunately, it only cut open his throat, causing blood to spurt out.

Qi Tian was horrified. These two people had pushed him into a corner, almost killing him. This made his face darken. He believed that it shouldn't have come to this, because he still had the cultivation of an Earth Immortal in the real world.

Of course, he recognized that his opponent had set up the Number One Killing Formation, but it was rudimentary in materials and not fully completed. His killing formation could theoretically resist it.

"I've been too careful. I thought I didn't need to take risks with you lot. Now it seems that I lack the courage of the past. Come on, let's fight again!" Qi Tian shouted, his aura changed. Gone were the ethereal qualities and clear Dao rhyme. What remained was only endless sharp killing intent.

In an instant, around him, a hell-like battlefield appeared. Through the blessing and control of the Ascension Banner, his blood, his visions, and even his main body all began to attack.

"Do you think you’re the only one who dares to risk his own life? In a life and death crisis, who will cherish their life? Come on, your patriarch Wang is here. Let's confront each other head-on!" shouted Wang Xuan. He had Celestial Sword Maiden stand at the center of the formation platform, controlling the main body of the Life Essence Furnace, while he himself held the Purple Celestial Dao Sword in his right hand and the furnace lid in his left, stepping into the formation to challenge Qi Tian.

"Kill!" Both of them shouted.

Boundless killing intent swept through like a hurricane, raging there. The two of them fought fiercely, myriad immortals appeared, myriad spirits surged, banners and sword lights clashed, and the furnace lid fell. That area was about to explode.

The Number One Killing Formation was about to collapse, and the formation materials couldn't hold up. At the critical moment, Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao naturally did their best to unleash its power, striving to destroy the enemy. Even if they couldn't achieve it, they would destroy the opponent's formation.

Hum!

The killing formation shone brightly, and the entire space turned into a prison, becoming a chessboard with the lines of life and death crisscrossing. Being used by the killing formation, myriad immortals turned into banners. There were also forces of time condensing into blades, slashing towards Qi Tian and his formation.

The two killing formations burned, illuminating the area. Finally, they exploded. Wang Xuan and Celestial Sword Maiden both entered the Life Essence Furnace and were blasted out by the terrifying energy. The furnace roared and shook violently.

Although it wasn't handy, its defense was still unparalleled. It blocked various boiling hot energies and fragments of rules from harming them.

Qi Tian was in a miserable state. He used the Ascension Banner to open a light veil, but still got pierced through in the end. His flesh was covered in wounds, with blood everywhere. His chest was split open, and his beating heart was visible.

He was almost torn apart. It could only be said that the Earth Immortal was too strong in the mortal world, and with treasures in hand, he managed to save his own life. However, he was not unharmed and many of his wounds were exposed to the bones.

After a moment, the remaining fragments of rules dissipated, the ground was in a mess, and most of the celestial materials and treasures were shattered. Both killing formations were destroyed. There was silence there.

Qi Tian held the Ascension Banner in his hand, while his face was covered in blood. His handsome face looked somewhat ferocious. He said coldly, "I never thought I would be forced to this point by you!"

Wang Xuan and Celestial Sword Maiden were also in a bad state. Coming out of the furnace just now, they were hit by the force of the rules. The furnace roared and shook continuously while they hid in it. Of course, the impact they received was much weaker than Qi Tian's. Both of them were covered in blood. Coupled with their previous injuries, their current condition was not very good either.

"Kill!" shouted Qi Tian as he rushed over in a desperate stance. The Ascension Banner illuminated the space, integrating with him as if they were invincible, shuttling through the void, intending to kill the two of them.

A bloody battle erupted, blood spattered from the three of them from time to time. Obviously, Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao's cultivation was weaker than their opponent's, and the gap with the Earth Immortal was still significant, and they were seriously injured.

However, the two of them fought without retreat, making Qi Tian's heart jump. He had the advantage, but if the other side insisted on dragging him along, then it would be a tragedy.

He sighed inwardly and activated the two terrifying sword lights sealed in the Ascension Banner during the bloodbath. It was the condensation of supreme sword will, bursting out in an instant.

Meanwhile, he wielded the Ascension Banner, doing everything he could to lock onto Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao. He was trying to entangle them, preventing them from moving away from those two sword lights.

That was the supreme sword will of the Sword Lunatic. It could kill everything in its path. With the blessing of treasures, it was as if he was personally present. The moment was terrifying. Behind the two sword lights, the black figure of the Sword Lunatic even appeared!

Dang!　

The Life Essence Furnace, the Purple Celestial Dao Sword, the Ascension Banner, and the Sword Lunatic's sword lights clashed fiercely, bursting forth with dazzling light.

Puff! Puff!　

Wang Xuan and Jiang Qingyao defended themselves with treasures, but they were still pierced by some of the sword lights. Both of them were sent flying, in a very miserable state.

Wang Xuan was nearly cut in half at the waist, with his spine partially shattered, and his chest and abdomen were slashed open, with blood flowing continuously out of it. Celestial Sword Maiden was pierced by the sword light, and the terrifying sword will impacted her flesh violently. She trembled and was struggling to raise the Purple Celestial Dao Sword. She had suffered unprecedented heavy injuries.

Qi Tian's face darkened. Despite severely injuring his opponents, he lacked joy. Because, according to his agreement with the Sword Lunatic, by using Shang Yi's supreme sword will, he would have to pay a price after devouring Wang Xuan's essence. He allowed the Sword Lunatic to analyze him firsthand after devouring Wang Xuan.

He muttered to himself, "For three thousand years, I have been hiding, lurking for too long, and I have extinguished my former ferocity and fighting spirit. I have been too cautious. In fact, I could have defeated the two of them on my own, but today I relied on external forces. Now that this is over, I need to spend some time in seclusion to awaken my former self."

"Do you think it's over? Do you really think everything is going to end just like this?" asked Wang Xuan, swaying his body while using his hand to cover his wound and stop the bleeding.

He used a secret technique to close the wound, his body glowing as he did everything he could to recover. Then he turned around and looked at Jiang Qingyao, who was probably in worse condition than him.

"I'm fine, I can fight with you!" said Jiang Qingyao as she held the sword in both hands, her arms trembling lightly. The residual sword light from the Sword Lunatic pierced through her body again, causing her to stagger and bleed all over.

"You step back and hurry to rest and recover," Wang Xuan said to her. "I'll handle it myself. I have a way to suppress him. I can even blow him up!"

Since there was no turning back and no other choice, Wang Xuan would try to tear apart everything external of him that was decaying. He would break free from the cocoon in advance, and reverse everything.
