Chapter 259: Formation Complete! Troops March on the Eight Wastes!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Within the Chaotian Palace, Lu Qingyang’s carving knife danced.
The immortal-white carving knife transformed into a brilliant white streak in his hand.
It tore through the air around Jiangxin’s body, flying without pause.
Immediately after, engravings covered in all manner of runes peeled off the immortal-white carving knife, drifting toward Jiangxin’s body.
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~~”
A terrifying fluctuation swept outward.
In an instant, it covered a radius of several li.
At this moment, every servant Puppet within the Chaotian Palace that possessed calculation ability sensed this terrifying aura.
One by one, they stopped their work and raised their heads to look.
And Lu Qingyang was also gazing at his masterpiece.
Amid the immortal-white carving knife’s flight.
The knife in his hand suddenly became thin black lines in a single instant!
Those thin black lines, like living things, began to squirm, and finally merged into Jiangxin’s body.
In this moment, Lu Qingyang seemed to be standing in darkness, seeing nothing at all.
But before him, a massive black hole emerged from nothing.
The black hole radiated an indescribably terrifying suction force.
The engravings carved into Jiangxin’s body were drawn by this suction, rapidly merging into it.
In the mere blink of an eye.
Those engravings had vanished without a trace.
At the same time, streams of black mist began to spread.
On Jiangxin’s body, shrouded in black mist, runes began to reveal themselves one after another.
And under Lu Qingyang’s gaze.
These runes gradually transformed into a massive “藏” character!
Above the “藏” character, invisible ripples trembled without end.
“Hum~~~”
Suddenly!
A soft cry, and in that instant, the “藏” character burst forth with an indescribable fluctuation.
The strength of that fluctuation was simply horrifying!
For a time.
Lu Qingyang felt a sharp pain in his mind.
His consciousness seemed to receive an impact, and his entire body swayed.
Fortunately, he steadied himself in time.
“Damned! Almost blew up the formation!”
Anger appeared on Lu Qingyang’s face.
He hadn’t expected the Immortal Realm’s Heaven-Concealing Grand Formation to be so perilous!
Even less had he expected it to be this formidable!
He had nearly blown up the formation!
After all, this formation had consumed no small portion of his wealth.
There were several Immortal-grade spiritual objects alone.
If it had truly blown up, he probably would have perished instantly!
At this moment, Lu Qingyang stirred his thoughts.
The spiritual power within his body surged instantly.
A layer of golden light, heavy as a mountain, emerged from his body.
Wrapping around him.
In this moment, he felt an incomparably comfortable, tranquil, and warm aura.
In this moment, the ripples flooding into his mind vanished at once.
And the frequency of his heartbeat returned to normal.
Seeing this.
Lu Qingyang finally let out a breath of relief.
But his heart remained full of dread and worry.
Because he understood very well.
The near-explosion just now was no coincidence.
It was that this formation’s power was too immense, and with his current cultivation, he still could not fully control it.
If he continued, the risk of blowing up the formation would only grow greater!
But if he were to give up now, Lu Qingyang was absolutely unwilling.
So with a stir of his mind, Immortal Artifacts were released in an instant.
These were all low-grade Immortal Artifacts he had obtained in the Simulation.
“Success or failure hinges on this one move.”
Lu Qingyang gritted his teeth.
He resolved to burn his boats.
In the next moment, he tossed those Immortal Artifacts into the immortal-white carving knife.
Immediately after.
The immortal-white carving knife flew up again, hovering above Jiangxin’s head.
“Go!”
In the next moment, Lu Qingyang formed hand seals with both hands.
The immortal-white carving knife suddenly shot out beams of piercing white light.
The beams flew straight toward every part of the Heaven-Concealing Grand Formation on Jiangxin’s body.
In the next moment, those Immortal Artifacts also released their Immortal Might.
Reinforcing the immortal-white carving knife.
Allowing that immortal-white carving knife to carve more steadily upon Jiangxin’s body.
Time silently slipped away as it flowed.
Until waves of violent rumbling rang out.
Above the Chaotian Palace, a massive “藏” character appeared out of nowhere.
And in the instant the “藏” character appeared.
The entire Chaotian Palace trembled slightly along with it.
“Boom!”
With a thunderous roar.
The “藏” character exploded completely!
The seals blanketing the sky also collapsed in this moment.
Endless black smoke surged in from all directions, rapidly spreading through the entire Chaotian Palace.
The black smoke was so dense it was almost suffocating!
This was the power of the grand formation!
This was the most critical step of the Heaven-Concealing Grand Formation!
And the key to whether Lu Qingyang could succeed.
“Merge for me!!”
“Raise the formation!”
Lu Qingyang roared.
In this moment, his vast and mighty spiritual power poured out in a torrent.
Like rolling rivers, it condensed and shrank the black smoke above the Chaotian Palace.
Then channeled it all into the “藏” character on Jiangxin’s body!
Finally, after who knew how long.
Everything calmed down.
The various radiances on Jiangxin’s body had vanished.
The previous anomalies had all completely disappeared!
As if nothing had ever happened.
Only the palm-sized “藏” character on its body bore witness to everything that had just occurred.
It was a character radiating a faint green glow, pitch-black throughout, emitting waves of bewildering aura.
Beyond its eerie aura and pitch-black color, the character had nothing flashy about it.
“Hum~~~”
In the next moment, Jiangxin emitted a humming sound, as if adapting to the character’s presence.
“Success!”
“Hahahaha!!!”
Seeing this, Lu Qingyang could not help but laugh.
The Heaven-Concealing Grand Formation was complete. He had taken the right step once again.
And this step was undeniably a most critical one!
Next, as long as the Chaotian Sect completely controlled the Central Region, the final moment would not be far off!
Lu Qingyang drew a deep breath.
He turned his gaze to Jiangxin.
“Jiangxin, how is it? Do you feel anything?”
“Beep beep, Mas… Master, I feel a little strange.”
“It’s as if with a stir of my thoughts, I could conceal the entire world in an instant.”
Jiangxin’s words were astonishing!
These words greatly shocked Lu Qingyang.
After all, by rights, the Heaven-Concealing Grand Formation should not possess such power.
At most, it could blind the Heavenly Dao. How could it conceal the entire world?
Could it be because I added too much extra material?
With that thought, a trace of confusion flashed across his face.
But no matter how one looked at it, this was a good thing.
At this thought, Lu Qingyang spoke.
“No matter. Perhaps the grand formation’s power has simply increased.”
“For now, your most urgent priority is to supervise the entire sect and increase the pace of controlling the Central Region!”
“Remember! Our time is very limited!”
Lu Qingyang spoke word by word, his tone solemn.
Hearing Lu Qingyang’s words.
Jiangxin also reined in its playful demeanor.
And it was from this day onward that the entire Chaotian Sect shed its usual manner, like a tiger descending the mountain, its armies marching to the eight wilds!
Devouring the four seas.
Squad after squad of elite disciples, coordinating with thousands of Puppet Armor and all manner of Puppets, appeared in the major sect cities throughout the Central Region…
