Chapter 309: Breaking the Formation!
Time flowed on, and the years passed in a blur.
In the blink of an eye, nearly three hundred years had passed since Lu Qingyang awakened.
The Dao Path of the Chaotian Realm was dissipating faster and faster.
He could faintly sense the signs of its weakening.
Because even his own cultivation was growing more and more scattered.
A few years ago, Lu Qingyang had gone to see Li Zhao one last time.
From his mouth, he learned that he had not seen a cultivator for a very long time.
It was as if the title of “cultivator” was on the verge of vanishing from the Chaotian Realm.
Mortals could no longer easily see the rainbow arcs of flying swords that occasionally streaked across the horizon.
And during these three hundred years, Lu Qingyang had never stopped delving into Puppet Armor Refinement.
At this moment, within the cave residence he had carved out.
A puppet armor roughly a thousand meters tall stood silently.
“Tier-Eleven Puppet Armor…”
“With full firepower, it’s enough to fight a Human Immortal to a standstill!”
Looking at this puppet armor, Lu Qingyang’s eyes shone.
He had already pushed it to the absolute limit, yet he was still not satisfied.
After all, if he wanted to defeat Wan Tianchou, he would need at least a Tier-Thirteen Puppet Armor for it to even be possible!
And all that he had gained from his simulations over the years had been used to manufacture puppet armor.
He believed that in no more than a hundred years, he would be able to research and produce a Tier-Thirteen Puppet Armor!
“Whoosh!”
He reached out and grasped at the air.
In an instant, countless spiritual materials were once again tossed out from his Storage Ring.
His movements flowed like drifting clouds and flowing water.
In the span of a few breaths, he had refined these spiritual materials.
One puppet armor component after another was melted, cast, and forged.
Gradually, a massive formation diagram formed before him.
“Rise!”
He let out a low shout, and his palms suddenly slammed together.
In an instant.
A majestic power exploded with a thunderous boom.
The entire cave residence shook violently, as if it were about to collapse.
And as that terrifying power poured in, another enormous black puppet, vast as a mountain, slowly rose.
It stood a thousand meters tall, its entire body cast from refined iron, glinting with cold metallic light.
Its whole body was densely covered in Runes.
Every part of it radiated an aura of hardness and sharpness.
It was like a flawless work of art.
“Still a bit short…”
Lu Qingyang’s brow furrowed slightly.
This time, although the creation had succeeded, it had not reached the ideal realm in his heart.
But he also knew that what he needed was not merely an ordinary Tier-Twelve Puppet, but an existence that could match Wan Tianchou.
The power of a Tier-Thirteen Puppet far surpassed a Tier-Twelve. For the current Lu Qingyang, it was still too far out of reach.
“Time… it’s still time…”
Lu Qingyang sighed softly, collected his thoughts, and walked out of the cave residence.
Over these years, he had already learned where Jiangxin was slumbering.
He had even gone to see it once.
But he had not awakened Jiangxin.
Because only if Jiangxin continued to slumber would he have a chance to defeat Wan Tianchou!
It was just that a Tier-Thirteen Puppet Armor was not so easy to refine.
He could not even break through to a Tier-Twelve Puppet Armor.
And in the days that followed, aside from refining puppet armor, Lu Qingyang roamed throughout the Hundred Fragments Domain.
It seemed he was searching for something.
Time passed once more.
Soon, it came to the five hundredth year since Lu Qingyang had awakened.
On this day, outside the cave residence he had carved out.
Lu Qingyang sat quietly.
His eyes were closed in concentration, and a faint silver-white mist radiated from his body.
His face had also become hazy, impossible to see clearly.
His body was even more like a phantom.
In a trance, it gave one an extremely unreal feeling.
But upon closer inspection, one could see that the mist was composed of countless tiny Runes.
These Runes were abstruse and obscure, like ancient seal script, containing a rhythm that defied explanation.
And when Lu Qingyang opened his eyes.
A dazzling silver radiance that seized the soul shot out.
In that instant, the entire space seemed to twist and distort.
“Buzz—”
He raised his right arm and viciously slashed at the void.
At once, a world-shaking sword cry rang out!
Immediately after, a strange fluctuation surged from his entire body!
“Over fifteen hundred years… you must have waited a long time as well.”
Lu Qingyang murmured to himself. As he spoke, shackles and restraints actually began to slowly open from his body!
That’s right, he was unraveling the formation!
What he was unraveling was the Heaven-Concealing Grand Formation on his body!
As the Runes around him surged, this formation that had concealed him for fifteen hundred years was finally broken open.
Crack!
Silver radiance flickered around his body, and those chains and talismans instantly shattered.
Immediately after, a layer of pale golden light materialized, enveloping his body.
Countless memories surfaced from the depths of his mind.
A mighty aura unique to Lu Qingyang soared into the heavens!
He opened his eyes, and two beams of divine light shot forth, as if they would pierce through the nine layers of heaven!
“Wan Tianchou!”
“Come fight!”
Lu Qingyang suddenly rose.
He roared at the heavens, his voice shaking the vastness!
In this moment, his pupils transformed into brilliant Golden Pupils, and a powerful killing intent soared into the sky!
Rumble!
The heavens trembled, wind and thunder cried out in unison.
And in truth, there was no need for Lu Qingyang to speak.
At the moment the Heaven-Concealing Grand Formation shattered.
In the distant Jing River Realm, within the Myriad Spirit Sect.
Wan Tianchou’s life-bound Immortal Treasure, the Firmament Divine Chain, began to vibrate.
At the same time, an illusory scroll slowly unfurled above his head!
Within the scroll, Lu Qingyang’s figure was clearly revealed!
“It’s him!”
“You’ve finally appeared!”
Wan Tianchou’s gaze abruptly contracted.
Monstrous waves surged in his heart. He could not believe this was real!
Lu Qingyang actually dared to show himself!
Wan Tianchou simply could not believe it!
But the next moment, he was ecstatic!
“Haha, you really didn’t die!”
Wan Tianchou laughed at the heavens, his smile mad to the extreme.
“Since you didn’t die, I will make you beg for life without being able to live, and beg for death without being able to die!”
His laughter carried ferocity and venom, bordering on madness!
Over these years, he had gone to the Chaotian Realm twice, costing him his entire fortune.
His disciples and followers had all been disbanded.
If not for the Chaotian Realm’s Dao Path being severed, he would absolutely not have left.
He would have remained stationed there the entire time.
For over a thousand years, he had thought of nothing but finding Lu Qingyang.
And then grinding his bones to ash.
But Lu Qingyang had vanished too cleanly. There was simply no trace to follow.
And now, Lu Qingyang had finally appeared!
At this moment, Lu Qingyang had already recovered his original appearance. He looked to be only in his twenties, handsome and refined.
But in the next instant, Wan Tianchou was suddenly stunned.
He seemed somewhat hesitant.
Why would this brat suddenly appear?
Could he have some method?
Perhaps it was specially prepared to lure me out…
As this thought surfaced.
Wan Tianchou instantly became incomparably vigilant.
If he capsized in a ditch, the loss would be enormous!
Thinking of this, his gaze grew colder and colder, fixed deadly on Lu Qingyang’s portrait.
It seemed he wanted to see through to the truth.
And after a long while, Wan Tianchou’s expression finally turned savage once more!
Because on the scroll, Lu Qingyang’s displayed cultivation was only Great Vehicle!
“Hahahaha, no matter what tricks you have, a Great Vehicle cultivation is nothing but an ant, a waste!”
“This time, I’m going to crush you!”
“Make you wish you were dead!”
Wan Tianchou’s face twisted, fury burning.
The next moment, without a shred of hesitation, he took out his final foundation and transmitted it toward the Chaotian Realm.
At the same time, the many True Immortals of the Myriad Spirit Sect stationed in the Chaotian Realm also rushed at full speed toward Lu Qingyang’s location…
