345: Chapter 345 The Ancestor Turns to Ashes, the Ascension Array is Activated!

The main peak of the Kunlun Mountains, the summit of Yuxu Peak.

The wild wind howled, and the temperature dropped to dozens of degrees below zero.

Snow filled the sky, scraping past like blades.

Ye Yuqing and Liu Waner were tightly bound to cold stone pillars.

Both of their faces were pale, their lips purple, and their bodies shivered uncontrollably.

Da Hei was bound by nine golden lightning chains, its vines covered in charred wounds.

Every time the lightning flashed, Da Hei would let out a pained hiss, yet it still struggled desperately, trying to protect the two girls beside it.

Lei Yangzi stood by the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back.

His purple Daoist robes flapped loudly in the wind and snow.

A Disciple of the Celestial Masters Sect stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Old Ancestor, the time for one incense stick has passed. Su Yang has not appeared."

Lei Yangzi turned around, a thick murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Since he refuses to come, we will first use one woman to sacrifice to the Formation. Do it."

The Disciple holding a longsword took the order and approached Liu Waner step by step.

The longsword was raised, its blade pointed at the girl's throat.

Liu Waner closed her eyes in despair, a single tear sliding down from the corner of her eye.

At the very moment the longsword was about to strike.

A deafening sonic boom suddenly erupted from the sky.

The clouds were forcibly torn apart by a tyrannical force.

A dazzling golden stream of light descended from the heavens like a falling meteorite, smashing into the center of the plaza with an unstoppable momentum.

Boom!

The hard white marble plaza instantly shattered, rubble flying in all directions.

The Disciple holding the longsword was directly blown away by the powerful shockwave, falling heavily into the snow dozens of meters away, vomiting blood and losing consciousness on the spot.

The dust and smoke dissipated.

Su Yang stood in the center of the giant crater, his gaze cold.

Bai Li, Chu Ling, Mary, and Qin Xueji followed closely behind, landing steadily behind Su Yang. The four stunning beauties, each with her own unique charm, instantly became the focus of the entire scene.

"Boss!"

Seeing Su Yang, tears of excitement burst from the eyes of Ye Yuqing and Liu Waner.

Their tense nerves finally relaxed.

"Hiss—!"

Feeling Su Yang's aura, Da Hei's massive flower head jerked up. Ignoring the burning of the lightning chains, it frantically waved its broken vines and let out an excited hiss.

Su Yang looked at the pale faces of the two women, then glanced at the scars on Da Hei's body.

He didn't speak, but the Pure Yang True Qi within his body erupted like a volcano.

Golden flames jumped violently on the surface of his body, and the surrounding wind and snow were instantly evaporated by the high temperature.

Lei Yangzi sized up Su Yang, his tone arrogant.

"You've finally come. Hand over the ascension jade plate, and I will give you a quick death."

Su Yang strode out of the crater, ignoring Lei Yangzi's words.

He walked straight toward the Formation's light barrier that trapped Da Hei and the two women.

"Seeking death. The Nine Dragons God-Locking Formation can even trap a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator. You dare to approach it with your bare hands?"

Lei Yangzi sneered, his face full of disdain.

Su Yang arrived at the edge of the Formation.

The nine giant pillars in front were inscribed with Thunder Runes, emitting blinding electric light.

On the Formation's light barrier, lightning snakes slithered, emitting an aura of destruction.

Su Yang raised his right hand.

Dazzling golden Pure Yang True Fire quickly enveloped his fist.

Without any fancy movements, he smashed his fist directly onto the Formation's light barrier.

Boom!

The golden fist glow and the purple lightning collided violently. A deafening roar echoed through the clouds.

The Formation's light barrier shook violently, ripples appearing on its surface.

The power of lightning spread along Su Yang's arm, attempting to drill into his Meridians.

"Begone!"

Su Yang shouted thunderously.

The Pure Yang True Fire instantly flared up, burning the spreading lightning to nothing.

The power in his fist increased once more.

Crack!

The indestructible light barrier was actually smashed with a clear crack by this single punch.

The mockery on Lei Yangzi's face instantly froze. His eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.

How is this possible!

Shaking the grand Formation with bare hands?

Lei Yangzi's hands quickly formed seals, and the True Qi in his body poured frantically into the Formation.

The Thunder Runes on the giant pillars glowed brightly.

The nine thick lightning chains abandoned Da Hei, and like nine furious flood dragons, they all lunged toward Su Yang to strangle him.

Su Yang's left hand grabbed at the Void Realm, and the asura blood blade appeared out of thin air.

On the deep purple blade, blue lightning and golden flames slithered.

Su Yang gripped the hilt with both hands and slashed down fiercely toward the nine lightning chains.

"Break!"

A blood-colored blade glow dozens of meters long whistled out.

The blade glow, carrying a terrifying power capable of severing a galaxy, crashed directly into the lightning chains.

Bang bang bang!

Continuous explosions rang out.

In front of the asura blood blade, the lightning chains were like fragile dead wood, cut into countless pieces with unstoppable force.

The severed lightning dissipated in mid-air.

The momentum of the blade glow remained undiminished as it slashed fiercely at the crack in the Formation's light barrier.

Boom!!!

The Nine Dragons God-Locking Formation completely collapsed.

The nine giant pillars covered in runes all exploded, turning into a pile of ruins.

The backlash of the Formation knocked dozens of surrounding Celestial Masters Sect Disciples to the ground, vomiting blood.

Su Yang put away his long blade and walked to the stone pillars. With a casual pull, the ropes binding Ye Yuqing and Liu Waner snapped inch by inch.

"Boss..."

Ye Yuqing's whole body was trembling, her voice weak.

Su Yang took off his coat and draped it over Ye Yuqing. He turned to look at Bai Li behind him.

"Take care of them."

Bai Li nodded, her nine snowy-white fox tails unfolding to protect the two women and Da Hei in the center.

A gentle demonic power was injected into their bodies, dispersing the severe cold and pain.

Su Yang turned around to face Lei Yangzi. In his deep eyes, killing intent boiled as if it were substantial.

"Old dog, you've lived long enough."

Lei Yangzi's face was ashen.

The grand Formation he had painstakingly arranged had actually been forcibly broken by the opponent in just two moves.

He finally realized that the strength of the young man before him was unfathomable.

"Arrogant! I am the Old Ancestor of the Celestial Masters Sect, having cultivated for centuries. How could I fear a green youth like you!"

Lei Yangzi drew the lightning-glowing longsword from his back.

The longsword let out a crisp chime, its blade entwined with blinding white lightning.

"Heavenly Thunder Transformation! Thunder Dragon Roar!"

The lightning on the longsword transformed into two thunder dragons with bared fangs and brandished claws, lunging at Su Yang from the left and right with a deafening roar.

Su Yang's expression didn't change as he clenched both fists and punched out simultaneously.

The golden Pure Yang True Fire transformed into two giant flaming fists, smashing directly into the heads of the thunder dragons.

Bang bang! With two loud explosions, the thunder dragons were instantly blown apart, dissipating into a sky full of purple electric light.

Seeing this, Lei Yangzi's face turned ashen. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the longsword.

The longsword instantly turned blood-red, and the power of lightning surged several times over.

"Heavenly Thunder Righteous Law, Evil Extermination!"

Lei Yangzi stepped in a celestial pattern and swung the longsword. Dark clouds instantly covered the sky, and thunder rolled.

Hundreds of lightning bolts as thick as arms descended from the sky, converging on the longsword.

Lei Yangzi himself seemed to have become a god controlling lightning.

"Die!"

Lei Yangzi slashed out with his sword.

A massive Thunder Sword Qi a hundred meters long, carrying a pressure that could destroy heaven and earth, smashed down fiercely toward the top of Su Yang's head.

Everywhere the Sword Qi passed, the air exploded, and the snow on the mountain instantly melted.

Chu Ling and Mary's expressions changed slightly, and they were about to step forward to help.

"All of you, stay where you are."

Su Yang shouted loudly.

He did not retreat, nor did he take out the asura blood blade.

He directly raised his right hand and grabbed the hundred-meter-long Thunder Sword Qi.

"He's crazy! He's actually using his bare hand to catch the Heavenly Thunder Sword Qi!" an Elder of the Celestial Masters Sect exclaimed.

Bang!

Su Yang's palm firmly grabbed the Thunder Sword Qi. Blinding lightning instantly swallowed him whole.

The violent power of lightning frantically destroyed everything around it, blasting a bottomless crater into the ground.

"Hahahaha! Overestimating yourself! Turn to ash under my heavenly thunder!" Lei Yangzi laughed loudly.

However, Lei Yangzi's laughter was soon caught in his throat.

The lightning gradually dissipated.

Su Yang was still standing in the same spot.

His right hand firmly gripped the tip of the Thunder Sword Qi, without a single scar on his body.

Pure Yang True Fire burned quietly on the surface of his body, isolating all the power of lightning.

"This lightning is so soft, it's like a tickle."

A smile played on the corner of Su Yang's mouth, and his right hand suddenly exerted force.

Crack!

The hundred-meter-long Thunder Sword Qi was actually crushed to pieces by Su Yang's bare hand!

Countless tiny electric sparks dissipated in the air.

Lei Yangzi was affected by the backlash, his body jolted violently, and he retreated several steps, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His eyes were full of horror, finally understanding what kind of monster he had provoked.

Escape! He must escape!

Only one thought remained in Lei Yangzi's mind. He turned into a streak of lightning, wanting to sprint down the mountain.

"Want to leave? Have you asked my fist?"

Su Yang's legs bent slightly, and his whole person appeared directly in front of Lei Yangzi as if teleporting.

He threw a punch.

The golden fist, with unstoppable power, smashed fiercely into Lei Yangzi's chest.

Boom!

Every rib in Lei Yangzi's chest snapped. His entire chest cavity caved in.

He screamed as he flew backward, crashing heavily onto a broken stone pillar.

Su Yang walked forward slowly, looking down at the agonizingly struggling Lei Yangzi.

"Old dog, if you dare to touch my people, you must be prepared for your Divine Soul to be completely extinguished."

Su Yang raised his foot and stepped heavily on Lei Yangzi's face. The golden Pure Yang True Fire instantly intensified its burning.

"Please... let me go..."

Lei Yangzi's voice grew weaker and weaker, finally turning into a pile of white ash in the flames.

Not even a trace of his soul remained.

The entire scene was dead silent.

Hundreds of surrounding Celestial Masters Sect Disciples knelt on the ground one after another, their bodies trembling, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Su Yang turned around, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

"Hand over all your storage Magical Artifacts and cripple your own cultivation. Scram down the mountain. If you miss even one item, you die."

The Disciples felt as if they had been granted a great amnesty. Although they would lose their cultivation, it was better than losing their lives.

Everyone unfastened their Storage Pouches and placed them on the ground. Then, gritting their teeth, they struck their own lower abdomen Dantian with a palm.

Pfft!

The sound of vomiting blood rose in unison. The Disciples who had lost their cultivation supported each other, crawling and stumbling as they fled down the mountain.

Qin Xueji immediately stepped forward and gathered all the spoils on the ground.

As a competent housekeeper, she was very skilled at collecting wealth.

"Boss, the cleanup is complete."

Su Yang nodded and walked toward Da Hei and the two women.

Bai Li's demonic power had already dispersed the cold air within Ye Yuqing and Liu Waner, and their complexions had returned to a healthy rosy color.

"Boss, we made you worry." Ye Yuqing lowered her head, feeling somewhat self-reproachful.

"It's good that you're okay." Su Yang patted her on the shoulder.

Da Hei's injuries were somewhat severe.

Green sap was still seeping out from the charred wounds on its vines.

Su Yang took out a handful of Medicinal Pills emitting a dense wood-attribute Spiritual Qi from his storage space and threw them directly into Da Hei's flower head.

"Eat them and recover well."

Da Hei let out an excited hiss.

As the pills entered its stomach, the wounds on its body healed rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Not only that, after absorbing the pure Spiritual Qi, Da Hei's body grew another size larger, and the metal scales on its vines became harder and shinier.

"The trouble has been cleared up. Now it's time for the real business."

Su Yang raised his right hand, and the complete ascension jade plate appeared in his palm.

The jade plate emitted a soft white light. The needle spun frantically before pointing steadily toward the very top of Yuxu Peak.

"Let's go and see the true entrance to this Ascension Grand Formation."

Su Yang led the way toward the summit. The five women followed closely behind.

The wind and snow at the summit were even more violent.

But Su Yang's Pure Yang True Fire formed a warm shield, completely isolating them from the wind and snow.

Everyone arrived at the highest point.

It was a flat ice field. There were no buildings around, only the howling wild wind.

"This is the place."

Su Yang tossed the ascension jade plate into the air.

The jade plate hovered in the air, erupting with a blinding light.

The light transformed into a pillar of light that reached the heavens, piercing straight into the clouds.

Rumble!

The entire Kunlun Mountains began to vibrate violently.

The snow on the ice field was pushed away by a powerful force, revealing a massive black altar beneath.

The surface of the altar was covered in complex ancient runes.

Under the illumination of the light pillar, the runes lit up with golden light one by one.

Immediately after, the space in the center of the altar began to distort. A massive spatial tunnel slowly took shape.

The interior of the tunnel emitted a sacred and ancient aura.

Faint sounds of celestial music could be heard coming from within.

"The Ascension Grand Formation has opened!"

Chu Ling's eyes lit up, her voice tinged with excitement.

Mary flapped her wings and leaned toward the edge of the tunnel to look inside.

It was pitch black inside; apart from the white light, nothing could be seen.

"Boss, are we going in?" Mary turned back and asked.

"Of course. Since the door is open, it would be a wasted trip if we didn't go in and take a look."

Su Yang put away the ascension jade plate and strode to the entrance of the tunnel.

Bai Li walked to Su Yang's side, her expression serious.

This tunnel led to an unknown Domain, which might hide a great Opportunity or harbor fatal dangers.

"Husband, let's go together."

Bai Li took Su Yang's hand.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Su Yang squeezed Bai Li's hand in return and stepped into the spatial tunnel with the women without hesitation.
