The Five Demons Devouring Heaven Formation was renowned and famous, shaking the cultivation world, but it was not without its weaknesses.
Some grandmasters of the formation arts could break it with time and effort, and even more so, in its simplified version.
But.
Who was Liu Chengxue?
The third disciple of the Da Luo Sword Sect!
A sword cultivator, with no knowledge beyond swordsmanship—alchemy, weapon forging, formation arts, and so on—were almost entirely beyond her.
Yet, it was precisely this person who managed to break through the Five Demons Devouring Heaven Formation, reaching its core without a single scratch!
This time, she had truly broken the formation!
This was not a brute-force destruction, but rather a deep understanding of the formation, using its weaknesses to slip in. Her knowledge of formations must have surpassed that of the formation's creator!
"As Senior said, your formation has too many flaws!"
Liu Chengxue's voice was cold.
Every formation has its shortcomings.
However, few could find these flaws before the killing intent of the formation struck. Even if they did, whether they could break through was another matter.
Liu Chengxue was only able to do so calmly because of Li Yun's reminder.
"Senior?"
Du Qianshang felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit.
He hadn't given it much thought earlier.
Now, after careful consideration, he suddenly understood.
Behind Liu Chengxue, there must be a grandmaster of formation arts. Even without entering the formation, merely observing it from the outside was enough to pinpoint its fatal flaw.
Such sharp insight...
It was utterly unfathomable!
"Who exactly is the 'Senior' Liu Chengxue mentioned? Why are they doing this?"
Du Qianshang's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
Having lost his greatest trump card, panic flooded his heart.
"You should be on your way!"
Liu Chengxue didn't answer. With a swing of her sword,
the sword light surged like a rainbow.
Heaven and Earth lost their color.
It became a tangible ripple, akin to a great Dao rune, sweeping in all directions.
"You dare?!"
Du Qianshang quickly retreated, his voice harsh as he shouted, "My master is on his way here, when he arrives, you will die!"
"You can still leave now; it's not too late!"
"Your master, huh?"
Liu Chengxue was neither surprised nor angry, speaking lightly, "No wonder Senior told me we only had two hours. I was confused earlier, but now I understand—it's because your master is coming."
"What?!"
Du Qianshang was in complete disarray.
Who exactly was this 'Senior'?
Damn it.
Had everything been set up for me from the start?
"Chi!"
Another sword strike slashed through the air, and with a crisp sound, blood splattered from Du Qianshang. He was already no match for Liu Chengxue, or else he wouldn't have been chased over eight thousand miles. Now, with the formation's protection gone,
his defeat came faster than expected.
"Double Sun Burning Wind!"
Liu Chengxue stood unmoving in mid-air, her sword gleaming brighter as it traced an intricate arc.
"Boom!"
Two blazing suns slowly rose, unleashing thousands of sword lights, like twin suns hanging high in the sky.
"Slash!"
Liu Chengxue uttered a soft command, her sword guiding the twin suns forward, like a female war goddess surveying the world, sending the two great suns crashing down from the heavens.
The intense heat exploded, unstoppable!
"No!"
Du Qianshang cried out in despair.
The reason he was gravely injured before was due to this move.
Now, in his wounded state, facing it again, he had no power to resist.
Du Qianshang raised a black flag, and it expanded in the wind, covering a radius of several dozen meters, attempting to block the twin suns. But the moment the two suns made contact,
it was as if ice met the blazing sun. The two black flags were instantly melted into nothingness.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion engulfed everything.
Du Qianshang didn't even have time to scream before turning into nothingness.
"Whoo—!"
Liu Chengxue let out a long breath, her face pale as paper. The recent strike had drained her energy, but her eyes were full of vitality.
Everything had gone exactly as Senior had said.
She looked up at the sky.
At this moment, she could already sense a great sense of impending danger rapidly closing in from the distant sky. It was a cultivator's instinct, even though the source of the danger hadn't arrived yet.
But it already made her feel as if she were falling into an icy pit.
"That was fast!"
Liu Chengxue's heart was shaken.
If she turned back towards the Da Luo Sword Sect, she would undoubtedly be intercepted by Du Qianshang's master halfway.
How could a young cultivator like her outrun someone from the older generation?
Even if she notified her elders now, she doubted she could hold on long enough for them to save her.
The only way now was to return to Great Wasteland City!
Thinking of that mysterious Senior,
Liu Chengxue gained some confidence.
The strength of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower Master must far exceed Du Qianshang's master, but her only uncertainty was whether Senior would protect her.
"Let's head to Great Wasteland City first."
Liu Chengxue murmured to herself.
Even if Senior didn't protect her, with them around, Du Qianshang's master would likely not dare to act recklessly in Great Wasteland City.
With her decision made,
Liu Chengxue wasted no time and headed straight for Great Wasteland City.
...
Fifteen minutes later,
above an unnamed valley.
The void distorted.
A terrifying aura, like a rising tide, spread and enveloped the heavens.
"Step! Step! Step!"
An old man in black robes, his face youthful and hair white, thin and tall, with hands behind his back, walked step by step from the void. Each step spanned thousands of miles.
He had just been tens of thousands of miles away, but after a few steps, he was already above the valley.
The old man's expression was as cold as water. His gaze swept over the valley below, and a suffocatingly terrifying wave of energy pierced through the void. In a hundred-mile radius, the land sank, and mountains collapsed.
It was a scene of world-ending destruction.
"Boom!"
The old man stood still, but his presence suppressed the heavens, causing the entire void to buckle under the pressure, emitting terrifying sounds.
"Who is it?!"
His hoarse voice sounded like two wooden planks rubbing together, sending chills down one's spine.
It was enough to make anyone shudder in fear.
