Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Even though many present had become saints, when faced with this might, they still could not help their hearts from racing and trembling with fear.
“It’s the Saint King Realm master by Fellow Daoist Su Chen’s side!11 said the Wang family patriarch, voice shaking as he looked upon the giant figure in the sky.
Others may not have known, but he did know a little. Not only had he seen Su Chen with his own eyes before, but he had also sensed up close some of Long Wu’s power. Although it was just a wisp, it left a deep impression on him.
Today, Long Wu did not conceal her cultivation at all. That monstrous power directly shocked countless people.
Clang!
Long Wu s body trembled, scattering down rays of divine light that instantly transformed into sword auras, arranged mysteriously like endless stars. “Roar!’1 A dragon’s roar sounded.
Tens of thousands of sword auras swept forth from the other side of the sky, passing through everyone. It was as if the Milky Way stretched across the heavens, white as far as the eye could see.
Everyone felt a sharp, cutting pain – this was merely the aftermath. If they had been the target of these sword auras, they had no doubt they would have died countless times upon contact.
“This…” The Wang family patriarch was extremely shocked.
Earlier, he had thought everyone could join forces to break this formation. After all, the formation was but an external object. On the surface, it could withstand a Great Saint Realm powerhouse’s attack, but under the combined efforts of their Saint Realm experts, it would still exert immense pressure on Dashang.
The formation might not shatter, but those within could be shaken to death. Moreover, keeping the formation running continuously consumed resources – it would cost a massive amount of spirit stones each day.
Dashang’s foundations were abundant enough to maintain the formation’s operation. A day or two was fine, but a year or two, even ten or twenty years, and they would not be able to support it.
Decades were nothing to old monsters like them who could live for tens of thousands of years. In their eyes, they could spend more time just sitting around idly.
But what they had not expected was that Su Chen did not want to waste any time at all. He had sent a Saint King Realm master to forcibly break Dashang’s formation right from the start.
Boom!
Accompanied by a loud sound, a shocking collision appeared before everyone’s eyes.
The commotion was massive. Countless divine patterns on Dashang’s protective formation flashed and then shattered. The ultimate divine power surged and roiled through the void.
It was as if the world had been turned upside down. Everything within tens of thousands of miles had been razed flat, nothing left behind. All who had traveled long distances did their utmost to resist the aftershock.
Within Dashang, countless people instantly turned into clouds of bloody mist. The entire imperial city was dyed red, like hell on earth, extremely miserable.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, a crack suddenly appeared in the originally impervious protection formation.
The crack was not big, only a few yards long. But in the eyes of countless people, it was as if the sky had collapsed.
“The…The formation… broke? How is this possible?”
On the city walls, a Dashang expert stared at the crack in the sky like a walking corpse, mumbling in disbelief.
Before the battle had even begun, they thought the various experts converging from all directions would not be able to break the formation at all. Ln the end, they would leave dejectedly.
But who could have imagined the formation would already be damaged at rhe very start? Just now, blocking that one strike of the Saint King Realm master had consumed tens of millions of spirit stones in the blink of an eye.
If this happened a few more times, even if the formation did not shatter, the entire foundation of Dashang would be depleted.
“We re doomed! ” At this moment, countless people lost all will to resist.
This formation was their greatest reliance. Now that it was broken, it was as if the entire Imperial City stood exposed before everyone without any defenses. Dashang alone could not withstand so many joint forces!
“Don’t panic!” At this moment, a black-robed figure silently appeared atop the city wall. He glanced at the void outside and sinisrerly said, “It’s just a small crack. It can be repaired in the blink of an eye!”
A Great-Saint-level formation could not be broken so easily. It was but a small crack – with the blink of an eye it could be restored to normal.
And just as he said, halfway through his words, half the yard-long crack had already recovered. After a few more breaths, it would likely be back to how it was.
This scene made many instantly breathe a sigh of relief. Although the Saint King Realm master’s strike had inflicted painful damage on Dashang, fortunately, the formation still stood. As long as the formation held, there was still a chance.
But in the next moment, hundreds of millions of sword auras descended again. The formation that was about to recover expanded dozens of times, turning into a thousands-yard-long crack.
Before it could recover this time, a dragon scale shot over from the sky and lodged itself onto the formation.
“What are you still waiting for?” Su Chen’s voice resounded throughout the world.
Hearing this, those outside instantly shuddered.
“Kill!” In but an instant… the soldiers who had been silent for a long time now emitted shocking killing intent.
As they roared, the world shook, mountains and rivers collapsed, as if countless volcanoes had erupted at once. Terrifying killing intent permeated every inch of the world.
With so many experts gathered, none could stop them. They were like ancient war gods revived, invincible, and sweeping all before them!
“Roar!’1 The Dasui dragon also roared at this moment.
In an instant, countless palaces within the Imperial City collapsed one after another. Beams of divine light shot out from its mouth, exuding a terrifying aura as they slashed through the crack.
In an instant, blood bloomed in a series of flowers. A huge area of the city wall was cleared in a flash.
The experts who had wanted to destroy the dragon scales all evaporated into clouds of blood, disappearing from the world. In the blood mists, one could even see the flesh of some creatures slowly writhing and condensing back into human shapes.
“Those are dark creatures! As Senior Su Chen said, Dashang has indeed colluded with the dark creatures!”
