He joined forces with these Elders and Disciples to form the Hook Chen Great Formation, capable of defeating Song Tianfang.
“Changliu Disciples, form the Wan Jian Array!”
The White Immortal Emperor of Everlasting Immortal, leading Li Changye and other disciples of Changliu Mountain, formed the peerless Great Formation of the Changliu Sacred Land.
The Wan Jian Array, with the interweaving Sword Qi of ten thousand Elders and Disciples of Changliu Mountain, formed a peerless Sword Array, with endless Sword Qi roaming within the Array.
The forces of Yaochi, Guanghan Palace, Ancient Yun Family, Ancient Qian Family, and the Eternal Immortal Dynasty—all Elders and Disciples—formed their Arrays, nearly a hundred in operation, radiant and majestic.
Lin Xuantong, Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, Jiang Family Ancestor, Holy Mother of Yaochi, Everlasting Immortal, Li Heng—these long-renowned Divine King level masters acted alone, responsible for restraining Divine King level Ancient Demon Worms of the same tier.
“Here they come… How can there be so many Demonic Insects?”
Liu Yiyi and many female Disciples of Yaochi saw a massive swarm of Demonic Insects emerging from all directions of the Valley of Doom, darkening the sky, like a black ocean, and they couldn’t help but turn pale with goosebumps.
Looking around, there were all Ancient Demon Worms, chilling to the bone, with some female Disciples of Yaochi even feeling nauseated.
Not just the Disciples of Yaochi, but also the Elders and Disciples from Changliu Mountain, Guanghan Palace, Ancient Yun Family, Ancient Qian Family, and other forces similarly felt a chill on their backs.
The Valley of Doom was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
“Divine King Realm poisonous spiders!”
An Elder of Yaochi trembled in voice.
A colorful poisonous spider was seen tearing down mountains and forests, standing out conspicuously amidst the boundless sea of Demonic Insects.
This single poisonous spider, eight hundred zhang tall, appeared extremely fearsome, with six eyes staring intently at everyone.
A fiery red Ancient Ant King appeared atop a mountain; although only six zhang five chi tall, its presence was not weaker than that of the colorful poisonous spider.
Next to the Ancient Ant King were countless similarly red, but smaller—less than two zhang in size—fire ants, teeming and dense.
“Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider, Rock Fire Poison Ant, these infamous Ancient Demon Worms have even killed many Divine Kings and Immortal Emperors of the Human Race…”
Lin Xuantong had seen the archives of these Ancient Demon Worms; even in the Ancient Times, they were tyrants of their realm.
In addition to these Divine King level Ancient Demon Worms, more terrifying Demonic Insects kept appearing.
These Demonic Insects knew the human Cultivators who entered the Valley of Doom were not to be trifled with, so they drove their weaker kin forward to exhaust the human Cultivators.
The endless army of Demonic Insects advanced toward the Human Race Great Formations.
Lu Changsheng wielded the Hook Chen War Banner, slaughtering approaching Demonic Insects with the power of the stars.
In an instant, millions of Demonic Insects fell in swathes.
“No Elder or Disciple shall step half a pace from the Great Formation!”
Lu Changsheng knew that in this level of battle, any Elder or Disciple below the Divine King Realm who dared leave the Formation would be immediately devoured by the endless Demonic Insects, leaving no trace behind.
Moreover, there were Divine King Realm Ancient Demon Worms like Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spiders and Rock Fire Poison Ants skulking menacingly.
“Evil beasts, meet your end!”
In the Changliu Sacred Land, the White Immortal Emperor used the Wan Jian Array to slaughter the incessant stream of Demonic Insects.
The Sword Qi surged in all directions, any Demonic Insect nearing the Wan Jian Array was shredded by the fierce Sword Qi.
Disciples of Changliu Sacred Land dared not take half a step out of the Wan Jian Array.
The army of Demonic Insects from the Valley of Doom charged towards the Wan Jian Array like moths to a flame, like a stormy onslaught—if they dared leave the Wan Jian Array, they would be submerged by the terrifying swarm of insects.
“These Demonic Insects are also far too numerous.”
Li Changye, within the Wan Jian Array, manipulated hundreds of strands of Sword Qi with two fingers, continuously slaying Demonic Insects that approached the Array.
However, though the Wan Jian Array was grinding like a mill, slaughtering millions of Demonic Insects with each breath, compared to the endless Ancient Demon Worms of the Valley of Doom, it was still like a drop in the bucket.
The Formation of Guanghan Palace emitted chilling cold; any Ancient Demon Worm that approached it was immediately frozen, turning into icy clumps and shattering into fragments.
Nearly a hundred Human Race Formations held off the vast swarm of Ancient Demon Worms, with countless Demonic Insects falling.
However, the true Qi of the human Cultivators forming each Formation was rapidly depleting.
These Elders and Disciples were consuming Elixir Pills while desperately operating the Great Formation.
The breach of any Great Formation by the Ancient Demon Worms would lead to unimaginable consequences.
“We can’t keep this up; we must exterminate those Bug Kings to curb the advance of the Demonic Insects army.”
Lin Xuantong released a Golden Cauldron, which floated above his head radiating golden light, protecting his body. Then, he drew a Divine Sword and charged at the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider.
The Demonic Insects of the Valley of Doom, driven by the Devouring Demon Worm and various Bug Kings, could only be restrained by slaying these Bug Kings to dampen the insects’ momentum.
As Lin Xuantong took action, the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan, Jiang Family Ancestor, Mother of Yaochi, Liu Mufeng, the Everlasting Immortal, and other masters found their respective adversaries in an attempt to eradicate these Bug Kings.
From the deepest part of the Valley of Doom, the sound of earth-shattering combat echoed; the three Sword Maidens, the Golden Armor Heavenly General, the Old Sword Saint, and the Ancestor of the Ancient Yun Family had begun their major battle against the Devouring Demon Worm.
Lu Changsheng’s task was to maintain the Hook Chen Great Formation.
Consuming True Yang Limitless Pills, Lu Changsheng frenetically operated the Hook Chen Great Formation.
Like beans, the seventeenth-grade True Yang Limitless Pills were swallowed by Lu Changsheng to restore his depleted True Qi.
With Lu Changsheng at the helm, even under the relentless assault of endless Demonic Insects, the Hook Chen Great Formation’s power remained as potent as a sun, devouring a multitude of demonic insects.
“Junior Brother’s True Qi is astonishingly tremendous, isn’t it?”
Buyi Immortal Emperor, Fairy Shun Hua, Lin Qinghan, and the others were all stunned by Lu Changsheng’s “hardworking” performance.
Ordinarily, those who maintain the Great Formation fear quickly depleting their True Qi. Hence, the Elders and Disciples inside the Great Formation are smoothly channeling their True Qi. Nonetheless, Lu Changsheng keeps expending large quantities of True Qi that seems inexhaustible.
This is not just a portable battery pack; it’s a charging station!
Without the rules of the Heavenly Court prohibiting the use of Elixir Pills during sparring, Lu Changsheng, in possession of a vast amount of Immortal Pills and Talismans, could exert even mightier combat strength!
Yuexi led the Elders and Disciples of the Mysterious Lady Palace to form the Liuren Great Formation, full of spectacle and resplendence, slaying countless Demonic Insects.
She caught sight of the Hook Chen Great Formation controlled by Lu Changsheng and was surprised that its power was nearly on par with her Liuren Great Formation.
The Mysterious Lady Palace cultivators who constituted the Liuren Great Formation had a higher average Cultivation Level, yet the power of the two formations was closely matched.
This indicates that the one commanding the Formation, Lu Changsheng, possessed a far higher Cultivation Level than her.
Yuexi had actually overestimated Lu Changsheng’s Cultivation Level.
Without sparing any Immortal Pills or hesitating to use True Qi to drive the Great Formation, whereas Yuexi was not as extravagant in using Immortal Pills as Lu Changsheng was.
“It’s great, that Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider is no match for Dad.”
Lin Qinghan was within the Hook Chen Great Formation, collaborating with Lu Changsheng to propel the Formations. Seeing Lin Xuantong’s Divine Sword carving a bloody wound on the back of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider, she couldn’t suppress her excitement.
The back of the Five-Colored Ghost-Faced Spider bore ghost-like patterns, appearing quite terrifying, yet it was suppressed by Lin Xuantong.
Rock Fire Poison Ants spat out roaring fires, but they encountered the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace, Li Heng.
Li Heng’s Ice Seal Cultivation Technique countered the Earth Fire venom of Rock Fire Poison Ants. With one strike, Li Heng froze miles around, immobilizing billions of Demonic Insects.
Rock Fire Poison Ant’s tentacles were severed with one slash from Li Heng.
The situation looked very promising.
Suddenly, the ground beneath the Hook Chen Great Formation cracked, revealing spider web-like fissures.
A gigantic spider, vibrant with multiple colors and possessing six eyes, burrowed out from beneath the earth, spewing out black venom that flooded the Hook Chen Great Formation.
“Ah!”
Part of the venom, sharp as a sword, penetrated the Hook Chen Great Formation, hitting a section of the Immortal Emperor Elders and Loose Immortal Disciples.
“There’s another Ghost-faced Spider!”
The Elders and Disciples of Mount Taihua Sacred Land couldn’t help but despair.
The Demonic Insects from the Valley of Doom had developed intelligence, no lesser than the Human Race’s Cultivators, and some powerful Demonic Insects held their breath to lurk underground, striking unexpectedly.
A reddish-brown Demon Scorpion, with its venomous sting, pierced through the Liuren Great Formation of Mysterious Lady Palace and its poisonous tail swept across, resulting in numerous Mysterious Lady Palace Elders and Disciples falling.
