188: Chapter 188 Physical Breakthrough! Even your tortoise shell isn't strong enough to withstand a smash!

In mid-air.

Su Yang tightly gripped the thunder god golden bone, which had grown as large as a pillar supporting the sky.

The muscles all over his body bulged high, stretching his windbreaker until it was on the verge of bursting.

Purple-gold Heavenly Demon Lightning and pure gold Pure Yang True Fire frantically entwined around the bone staff along his arms.

Without any buildup or fancy Move.

Su Yang’s waist and abdomen suddenly exerted force, and he swung the giant bone staff directly, smashing it down hard toward the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array below, which looked like an inverted sea bowl!

"Shatter for me!"

Boom—!!!

As the bone staff smashed down, the air was extremely compressed, directly letting out a series of deafening sonic booms.

Inside the Formation below.

The One-Eyed Elder looked at the giant bone staff smashing down, his eyes full of disdain.

The Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array gathered the spiritual power of tens of thousands of Shushan Disciples; its defensive power was arguably the best in the world.

Wanting to break the Formation purely with brute force? It was simply a pipe dream!

"Ignorant fool. Once the counter-shock force turns you into meat paste, I will go and clean up..."

Before the One-Eyed Elder could finish his sentence, his voice came to an abrupt halt.

Bang!!!

The golden-glowing thunder god bone staff smashed solidly against the dark-gold Formation light screen.

The moment the two made contact, it was as if the world had lost all sound.

Immediately following that.

A terrifying shockwave visible to the naked eye frantically spread in all directions, centered on the point of impact.

Several nearby floating peaks were hit by this shockwave; the mountains collapsed instantly, and countless giant rocks tumbled into the abyss.

Crack!

A crisp sound of shattering clearly reached the ears of every Shushan Disciple.

At the spot where the bone staff had struck.

The supposedly indestructible Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array actually dented inward!

The phantom stars flowing on the surface of the Formation instantly extinguished before the extreme Yang power of the thunder god golden bone, like snowflakes meeting a blazing sun.

Densely packed cracks, like a spider web, rapidly spread from the dent across the entire light screen.

"This... this is impossible!"

The One-Eyed Elder's eyes were about to pop out, his face full of disbelief.

"How could it crack?! Quick! All Disciples, stabilize the Formation core! Pour all your spiritual power into it!"

Sword Without Limit was also scared out of his wits, roaring frantically.

On the square below.

Tens of thousands of Shushan Disciples desperately pushed their internal spiritual power.

But it was too late.

Su Yang hovered in mid-air, feeling the resistance coming from his hands, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Quite sturdy."

"If one hammer isn't enough, then I'll give it another!"

Su Yang raised the thunder god golden bone again.

This time, he directly activated the limit of the Golden Core within his body; even his bones made a grinding sound as if they were overburdened.

"Eighty!"

Accompanied by a loud shout.

The bone staff, carrying power twice as terrifying as before, smashed once again onto the center of the cracks from earlier.

Rumble!!!

This time, the Formation could no longer withstand it.

Amidst a series of ear-piercing glass-shattering sounds, the entire dark-gold light screen completely shattered!

It turned into a sky full of light specks, dissipating between heaven and earth.

"Pfft—!"

"Ah!"

The Formation was forcibly smashed by violence, and the terrifying backlash instantly flooded back.

Below, tens of thousands of Shushan Disciples who were channeling spiritual power spat out a large mouthful of blood in unison.

Disciples with lower cultivation had their heart meridians shattered directly by the backlash, dying on the spot.

For a moment, blood flowed like a river across the entire Shushan Golden Peak, and cries of grief were heard everywhere.

Even the three Grand Elders hovering in mid-air let out muffled groans, with a trace of black blood overflowing from the corners of their mouths.

"Broken... it's broken?"

Sword Without Limit sat paralyzed at the entrance of the main hall, looking at the wounded soldiers all over the ground, his mind a complete blank.

Shushan's greatest trump card, the Mountain-Protecting Grand Formation capable of withstanding the attacks of Soul Transformation Stage old monsters.

It was knocked to pieces by just two strikes of a club?!

On the back of the Frost Giant Dragon.

The two Saintesses, Bai Li and Lin Lang, were also dumbstruck at this moment.

They were both descendants of top-tier forces in the cultivation world and naturally knew the weight of the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

Its defensive power was simply an unbreakable turtle shell.

But Su Yang hadn't even used a Spell; he had used physical means to smash the Formation to pieces!

"How strong... is Master's power exactly?" Lin Lang swallowed hard, suddenly feeling a bit fortunate.

Fortunate that she hadn't desperately fought Su Yang back at Yaochi.

Otherwise, Yaochi's fate would likely have been even more miserable than Shushan's is now.

In mid-air.

Su Yang shrunk the thunder god golden bone and shouldered it again.

He shook his somewhat numb right hand.

"Tsk, the counter-shock was quite large; my hand is even vibrating from the numbness."

Su Yang looked down at the people of Shushan who were acting as if facing a great enemy, his gaze contemptuous.

"Now, the turtle shell is gone."

"Do you have any last words? Say them quickly, I'm in a hurry."

"You brat! You seek death!!!"

The One-Eyed Elder wiped the black blood from his mouth, trembling with rage.

He had lived for over a thousand years, and this was the first time he had been pushed to such a state.

"Second Brother, Third Brother! Don't hold back anymore!"

The One-Eyed Elder turned to look at the Bald Elder and another Withered Elder beside him, a flash of madness in his eyes.

"This boy has a Saint-level physical body and a divine bone in hand. Ordinary Spells can't hurt him at all!"

"We strike together and use our Origin Sword Qi! Sever his Divine Soul directly!"

"Alright!"

The two Elders nodded together.

At this point, they had no way out.

Their Lifespan was already nearly dried up; if they couldn't kill Su Yang today, even if they weren't killed by others, they would pass away due to excessive consumption.

Buzz—!

The three half-step Soul Transformation old monsters bit their fingertips at the same time.

Three drops of golden Essence Blood, radiating thick vitality, flew from their fingertips and merged together in mid-air.

Immediately after, the three of them simultaneously performed extremely complex sword seals.

From the direction of Shushan's Sword Tomb, a series of shrill sword cries suddenly rang out.

Countless broken swords stuck in the Sword Tomb trembled frantically as if receiving some kind of call.

"Using our Lifespan as the lead!"

"We request the Ancestral Master's Sword Intent to descend!"

Boom!

The Essence Blood of the three men burned instantly.

A hundred-zhang-tall transparent sword shadow slowly condensed into shape above their heads.

As soon as this sword shadow appeared.

The surrounding space was directly sliced into black Void Realm cracks.

An extremely terrifying killing Aura locked onto Su Yang in mid-air.

"Interesting."

Su Yang looked at the hundred-zhang sword shadow taking shape; not only did he not dodge, but he even raised an eyebrow.

"Burning your Lifespan to summon your ancestor? Calling for parents when you can't win; the routines of you 'righteous sects' are truly all the same."

"Boss, do you need help?"

Mary stood on the dragon's back, the silver blade in her hand already itching for action.

"No need."

Su Yang waved his hand.

"You guys just stay up there and watch the show."

"While you're at it, clean up those small fry below who want to run away; don't let them make too much of a mess here."

After saying that, Su Yang leaped.

He jumped directly down from the dragon's back, which was several hundred meters high.

"Arrogant!"

Seeing that Su Yang actually dared to jump down alone to face their ultimate Move, the One-Eyed Elder was overjoyed.

"Slash!"

The three of them swung their arms simultaneously.

The hundred-zhang-tall transparent sword shadow above their heads, carrying world-destroying power, slashed fiercely toward Su Yang in mid-air.

Before the sword shadow even arrived, the terrifying Sword Qi had already plowed a bottomless trench into the bluestone slabs on the ground.

Su Yang was in mid-air with nowhere to leverage himself.

But he didn't need any leverage at all.

He gripped the thunder god golden bone with both hands and, facing the falling hundred-zhang sword shadow, struck directly from below with a fierce upward swing!

"Rise!"

Clang!!!

The golden bone staff and the transparent sword shadow collided once again.

The ear-piercing sound of clashing metal echoed through the clouds.

The three Elders had originally thought that even if this sword strike couldn't directly split Su Yang in half, it would at least severely wound his Divine Soul.

However.

The expected scene didn't happen at all.

Su Yang's falling body came to a sudden halt in mid-air.

The thunder god golden bone in his hand firmly blocked the hundred-zhang sword shadow.

Although the Sword Qi was constantly slicing at his skin, making an ear-piercing grinding sound, it couldn't even leave a single bloodstain.

"What kind of bullshit Ancestral Master's Sword Intent."

Su Yang grinned, revealing pearly-white teeth.

"So soft, it's not even worthy of giving me a massage!"

"Get... back!"

The muscles in Su Yang's arms expanded once more.

A dragon's roar, as if suppressed for a long time, came from within his Physical Body.

Boom!

A massive force, ten times more terrifying than before, erupted from the bone staff.

Crack!

Before this absolute power.

The hundred-zhang sword shadow that had gathered the Essence Blood of the three half-step Soul Transformation old monsters was actually bent from the middle!

Immediately following.

It let out a mournful cry and directly shattered into a sky of light rain!

"Pfft!!!"

Their ultimate Move was broken.

The three old monsters spat out blood simultaneously, their Auras instantly withering to the extreme, and they fell directly from mid-air, crashing heavily onto the steps of the Golden Peak's main hall.

"Impossible... absolutely impossible..."

The One-Eyed Elder lay on the ground, his bones shattered, looking despairingly at the slowly descending Su Yang.

"What exactly... is your cultivation level..."

Su Yang's feet landed on the ground without even stirring up a speck of dust.

Carrying the bone staff, he walked step by step to the One-Eyed Elder and looked down at him.

"What cultivation level?"

Su Yang sneered and stepped on the One-Eyed Elder's chest.

"Does dealing with a bunch of old, weak, and disabled people like you even require a cultivation level?"

"With just my strength alone, beating you is like beating a son."

He applied a little pressure with his foot.

Crack!

The One-Eyed Elder's chest bone collapsed directly, letting out a shrill scream.

"Speak."

Su Yang tapped the nearby floor tiles with the bone staff.

"Who gave you the courage to go to Qingqiu Mountain and besiege my wife?"

"Is it because you've lived long enough, or do you think I can't lift my blade anymore?"

While spitting blood, the One-Eyed Elder glared at Su Yang with gritted teeth.

"The winner takes all... kill me if you want!"

"My Shushan has been passed down for thousands of years... we will never bow our heads to a demon like you!"

"Quite a bit of backbone."

Su Yang curled his lip in disdain.

"Since you're unwilling to speak, I'll find someone else to speak."

Su Yang turned his gaze toward Sect Head Sword Without Limit, who was hiding behind a pillar of the main hall, trembling with fear.

"Sect Head Jian, why are you running?"

"Weren't you shouting quite happily back at Qingqiu Mountain?"

"Come out, let's have a good chat."

Caught by Su Yang's gaze, Sword Without Limit was scared out of his soul.

Even the three Grand Elders weren't a match for this monster in a single exchange; what was an injured Nascent Soul Stage like him?

"Su... Senior Su..."

Sword Without Limit scrambled out from behind the pillar and knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically.

"A misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"

"Besieging Qingqiu Mountain was not Shushan's idea!"

"It was Dragon Tiger Mountain! Yes! It was that old Taoist Zhang Zhengyang who egged us on!"

"He said there was a great treasure appearing at Qingqiu Mountain, and as long as we took down the Fox Clan, our two houses would split it!"

Hearing Sword Without Limit shift the blame without hesitation.

The One-Eyed Elder on the ground spat out another mouthful of old blood in rage.

"Sword Without Limit! You cowardly beast! You dare betray your fellow cultivators?!"

"Shut up!"

Su Yang kicked the One-Eyed Elder's head, knocking him out directly.

Afterward, Su Yang walked up to Sword Without Limit, crouched down, and looked at him with a smile.

"Dragon Tiger Mountain's idea?"

"Fine, I've noted this debt. Once I've leveled your Shushan, I will naturally go to Dragon Tiger Mountain to collect the interest."

"But for now..."

Su Yang pointed to the magnificent Shushan Golden Peak surrounding them.

"Since you dared to touch my wife, you must pay the price."

"Hand over the keys to Shushan's treasury."

"Then take your remaining people and get out of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains."

"From today on, the Shushan Sword Sect... is disbanded."

Hearing the word "disbanded."

Sword Without Limit suddenly looked up, his face full of disbelief.

"Senior Su... you want to destroy my Lineage?!"

"What? Unwilling?"

Su Yang stood up, and the thunder god golden bone smashed heavily onto the ground with a deafening boom.

"It's fine if you're unwilling."

"You can stay."

"However, you'll stay as corpses."
