372: The formation was broken, people were injured, and the Dao heart collapsed.
That tiny gray Sword Intent was like a spark igniting a powder keg!
"Pfft—!!!"
As that Grand Elder sprayed blood, the thousand-zhang-tall Taiyi Sword Spirit, which pressured heaven and earth, suddenly stiffened in its right arm!
Immediately after, the billions of Geng Metal Sword Qi composing its right arm began to dissipate wildly, like an uncontrolled torrent.
They turned into golden light filling the sky, collapsing into a disorganized mess!
One sword strike.
It crippled one of the Sword Spirit's arms!
This inconceivable scene was like an invisible slap delivered fiercely to Jian Wuya's face!
The frantic, hideous expression on his face instantly froze.
Replacing it was a volcano-like eruption of shock and incomprehension!
"Impossible!"
"How could you possibly see through the core of my Taiyi Sword Sect's sword Formation! This is absolutely impossible!"
Jian Wuya let out a hysterical roar.
His voice was filled with a ghost-seeing terror.
The Taiyi Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was the crystallization of hundreds of thousands of years of wisdom from the Taiyi Sword Sect.
Perfected by countless generations of ancestors, it was claimed to be flawless.
Its profound operation was something that only a Hedao Realm powerhouse could peer into!
How could a Spirit Transformation Realm junior find the Formation's flaw in just a few breaths!
However, Shen Yuanmo completely ignored his roar.
Responding to Jian Wuya was an even more thorough and cruel crushing!
For Shen Yuanmo, the moment the first flaw was found and crushed...
this battle was already over.
Deep within his eyes, countless golden runes, billions of times more complex than stars, circulated, deduced, and analyzed at an unprecedented speed!
Heaven-Defying Comprehension had long been pushed to its limit!
The seemingly seamless sword Formation was now, in his eyes, like a fishing net full of holes.
Every Formation node and every Law conflict point was clearly exposed in his vision!
"The second one is at the left knee; the Sword Intent is too rigid and prone to snapping."
Shen Yuanmo's mind stirred slightly.
He saw that within that node, an overly sharp will created slight friction with the overall harmony.
"The third one is at the back of the heart; there is a delay of one-ten-thousandth of an instant when recovering Qi."
It was a moment of transition where the power failed to connect completely.
"The fourth..."
Shen Yuanmo's gaze locked onto the Sword Spirit's waist and abdomen, where a Law power showed periodic fluctuations; there was an extremely tiny gap in the transition between peak and trough.
"The fifth..."
Finally, his gaze rested at the connection between the Sword Spirit's neck and chest.
That was the hub where five Origin powers converged, the point where their strengths were greatest but their intertwining was most complex.
Once broken, it would trigger a chain reaction.
Shen Yuanmo's figure had not moved an inch from beginning to end.
He just stood quietly in the Void Realm.
He hadn't even raised his hand.
Clang—!
The great evolution immortal slaying sword floating before him seemed to sense its master's will.
It let out an unprecedentedly joyful sword hum!
The sound was filled with the excitement of impending blood-drinking!
In the next instant!
Amidst the horrified gazes of Jian Wuya and all the Cultivators in the city!
Four gray Sword Intents, identical to the previous one and so dim they were nearly impossible to capture with Divine Sense, shot out from the tip of the great evolution immortal slaying sword!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
These four Sword Intents had no earth-shattering momentum.
Yet they sliced through the Void Realm at four completely different, yet equally tricky and eerie angles!
One bypassed the Sword Spirit's frontal defense, stabbing directly into the Law node at its left knee!
The Sword Intent there was like a snapping string, suddenly vibrating the moment the gray Sword Intent touched it!
Another pierced through layers of Sword Qi storms, pinning accurately into the vital point at the back of its heart!
That slight delay was now infinitely magnified; the Sword Intent was like a wedge, completely jamming it.
The other two were like ghosts, coming from two completely unpredictable angles.
They shot toward the other two core hubs at the Sword Spirit's waist and neck!
The Law power fluctuations at the waist were instantly disrupted by the gray Sword Intent, preventing it from completing a full cycle.
The intersection of the five Sword Intents at the neck was entered by the gray Sword Intent like a venomous snake, stirring up the internal balance.
All of this happened in a flash!
Extremely fast!
Extremely accurate!
Extremely ruthless!
The moment those four gray Sword Intents entered the body of the thousand-zhang Sword Spirit...
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
It was like a chain reaction of death!
In the other four positions of the sword Formation, including Jian Wuya, who was acting as the Formation eye and looking like a madman!
The bodies of the four Void Returning Great Experts simultaneously trembled violently, as if struck by Nine Heavens divine lightning!
Immediately after, four streams of golden blood, mixed with Life-bound Dao Source and shattered internal organs, sprayed wildly from their mouths as if it cost nothing!
The auras of the four men, like punctured balloons, instantly plummeted from the Void Return Realm to the very bottom!
Especially Jian Wuya; he not only had to bear the shattering of his own node but also the core backlash from the collapse of the entire sword Formation!
The mouthful of blood he spat out almost dyed his chest dark gold!
His chest heaved violently, and every breath brought heart-wrenching pain.
He felt his Dao Heart was like a mirror struck by a hammer, covered in cracks.
"No..."
Jian Wuya's eyes bulged.
The light in his eyes dimmed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He felt his Meridians being torn by violent Law power and felt the connection with the sword Formation snap instantly.
"Roar—!!!"
The thousand-zhang Taiyi Sword Spirit, having lost all power support, let out a final wail of unwillingness and pain in mid-air!
Its massive body, constructed from pure Law and Sword Qi, could no longer be maintained.
Hideous cracks, like spiderwebs, began to spread wildly across its body from the five nodes that had been struck!
Finally.
Under the gaze of countless dull, numb, and utterly shocked eyes inside and outside Tianfeng City...
this terrifying Sword Spirit, which had once slain Hedao Realm experts and awed the Eastern Region...
collapsed inch by inch with a thunderous boom!
The scene was like a divine statue that had stood for billions of years being smashed into powder by a single punch!
The massive body turned into a chaotic, violent torrent of Sword Qi, sweeping in all directions.
Then, under the correction of the Laws of Heaven and Earth, it slowly dissipated into nothingness.
The Taiyi Immortal Slaying Sword Formation was broken!
That infamously fierce Taiyi Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, which made countless Sects tremble with fear...
was completely dismantled from the inside by a Spirit Transformation Realm Cultivator in a way that defied everyone's imagination, almost as if he were playing.
As the sword Formation shattered, the five Sky-Piercing Sword Pillars that blocked the sky also let out a wail.
They turned into bits of light rain and vanished.
The sky returned to clarity.
But everyone's heart fell into a bottomless abyss.
"Gulp."
In the distance, Qing Xuzi swallowed with difficulty.
He felt his throat was so dry it seemed to be on fire.
His brain was a complete blank.
The killing Formation that could slay Hedao Realm experts was broken by Shen Yuanmo just like that?
He couldn't accept the reality before him, yet he had to.
Thump! Thump!
In the sky, five figures were like kites with broken strings, no longer able to maintain flight.
They fell powerlessly from the high sky toward the ground.
It was Jian Wuya and those four Grand Elders of the Taiyi Sword Sect!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Their heavy bodies crashed one after another into the mountain range outside Tianfeng City.
Kicking up five soaring plumes of dust, their impact caused several mountain peaks to collapse!
Five Void Returning Great Experts.
At this moment, they were like five dead dogs, discarded carelessly upon the earth!
Dead silence.
The entire world fell into a dead silence.
All the Divine Thoughts spying on this place were like chickens with their necks squeezed.
They dared not emit the slightest ripple, for fear of attracting the attention of that god-demon.
Amidst the dissipating rain of Sword Qi light...
a figure stepped out slowly.
Shen Yuanmo was clad in gray battle armor covered in profound patterns, holding an ancient longsword swirling with starlight.
His black hair danced lightly, and his face was calm.
The chaos myriad dao armor on him showed not a single trace of damage.
The great evolution immortal slaying sword in his hand emitted a clear sword hum.
Shen Yuanmo was like an invincible deity walking out of Chaos.
Surrounded by the aura of the beginning of myriad Daos, he looked down upon this mortal world that had just experienced a farce.
Shen Yuanmo's gaze indifferently swept across the messy mountain range below.
Finally, it landed on the disheveled and wretched figure struggling to crawl out of the rubble.
It was Jian Wuya.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Jian Wuya coughed violently.
With every cough, blood carrying golden divinity surged from his mouth.
His Sect Master's grand robe was already in tatters.
Blood was slowly seeping from all seven orifices.
He was in an extremely wretched state.
He raised his head with difficulty.
When he saw that unharmed figure floating in the air like a god...
the dignity of being the Taiyi Sword Sect's Sect Master!
the pride of being a Late Void Returning Stage powerhouse!
the glory of the Taiyi Sword Sect's hundreds of thousands of years!
were at this moment trampled fiercely underfoot by that young man in the most direct and cruel way.
"I..."
Jian Wuya opened his mouth.
He wanted to say something, but only a "he-he" sound of leaking air came out.
In his eyes, all the madness, anger, and killing intent faded away completely at this moment.
Replacing them were endless bewilderment, the hollowness of collapsed faith, and a fear that penetrated to the bone!
Defeated.
Defeated utterly and completely.
