Chapter 14 The array formation displays its power in the battle against Duanmu Ji!
The ancestor of the Temple of War's expression changed, and he quickly cupped his hands in greeting. His gaze fell on the old man's clothes, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Senior... you're one of the city lords of Seven Plum City, a Nascent Soul stage senior?"
Upon hearing this, many Nascent Soul cultivators exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
The City of Seven Plum Blossoms.
The old man in the green robe in front of me is actually one of the city lords of the Seven Plum Cities in the Demon Sea.
When did the Fire Burning Alliance offend such a powerful figure?
Duanmu Ji's gaze swept over the crowd, his face expressionless: "I'll say it one last time, get out of the way."
The members of the Fire Burning Alliance exchanged glances, their faces grim.
The Nascent Soul stage is an existence they simply cannot contend with.
The gap between the Nascent Soul stage and the Deity Transformation stage is not just a small realm, but an insurmountable chasm.
Even if all of them attacked together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat the opponent with just one hand.
It's impossible to do it.
The progenitor of the Temple of War gritted his teeth, about to make way.
suddenly!
boom!!!
A deafening clap of thunder suddenly exploded!
The sky instantly darkened, with rolling dark clouds and flashes of lightning resembling silver snakes weaving through the clouds.
The lightning grew denser and more intense, illuminating the entire world with flickering light, as if the end of the world had arrived.
A voice came from afar, unhurried yet clearly reaching the ears of everyone present.
"The Eight Extremes Demon Lord? The City Lord of Seven Plum Blossoms? What an imposing figure!"
Everyone looked over in response.
A figure was seen walking slowly from a distance, seemingly stepping on empty air.
With each step he took, lightning crackled beneath his feet, producing a deep, booming sound like the beating of a war drum, shaking the very soul.
The lightning surrounded him, making him appear as if he were a thunder god descending to earth.
"Chu Yuan?"
Lan Ruo recognized the figure and her expression changed drastically. She quickly transmitted her voice, "Chu Yuan, be careful! This senior is at the Nascent Soul stage; you cannot fight him head-on!"
Chu Yuan remained expressionless and continued walking forward without stopping.
The lightning around him grew increasingly intense, crackling and enveloping him in a curtain of light woven from lightning.
"Nascent Soul stage?"
His lips curled slightly upward, his gaze falling on the old man in the blue robe, his tone calm yet carrying an extreme chill.
"What a pity, if you had come a few days earlier, I wouldn't be your match. But now..."
He paused, a flash of crimson lightning appearing in his eyes.
"If you don't give me an explanation, then stay here!"
Duanmu Ji's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Chu Yuan. After a moment, he suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, his laughter filled with sarcasm.
"Hahahaha! I thought it was someone important, but you're just a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, yet you dare to spout such nonsense! You? Watch me tear your soul apart and torture you mercilessly!"
Before he finished speaking, Duanmu Ji raised his hand and waved it, unleashing a terrifying pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator that swept over Chu Yuan.
The pressure was so strong, it was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them. An ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator would probably not even be able to stand up after such an attack.
A cold glint flashed in Chu Yuan's eyes, and he raised his hand and waved.
The Four Symbols Array Plate spun out from his sleeve and hovered in front of him, its four-colored light shining brightly, illuminating the entire world.
The four spirit stones on the array plate lit up simultaneously, and four colors of light—blue, white, red, and black—soared into the sky like four pillars of light piercing the clouds.
"Four Symbols Grand Formation, activate!!"
boom!!!
The array plate trembled violently, and four-colored light spread out in all directions from Chu Yuan as the center, instantly covering the area within a radius of dozens of miles.
The azure light transformed into an azure dragon, the white light into a white tiger, the red light into a vermilion bird, and the black light into a black tortoise. Four hundred-foot-tall phantoms appeared simultaneously from four directions, accompanied by the roar of a dragon, the howl of a tiger, the chirping of a bird, and the breath of a tortoise. The four sounds resounded together, shaking the heavens and the earth.
The four illusory figures each exuded a terrifying aura comparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.
But this is not enough.
Chu Yuan formed hand seals, his eyes flashing with a mixture of lightning and bloodlust, and uttered a low shout: "Gather!"
Four illusory figures flew towards Chu Yuan simultaneously. The power of the four symbols—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—converged and merged in mid-air, transforming into a four-colored pillar of light that descended from the sky and poured directly into Chu Yuan's body.
Chu Yuan shuddered, his robes fluttering wildly, his long hair dancing wildly in the raging spiritual energy.
His aura began to rise steadily.
Mid-Nascent Soul Stage, Late-Nascent Soul Stage, Nascent Soul Perfection Stage!!
That insurmountable barrier, which countless cultivators could not cross even after a lifetime of effort, shattered under the impact of the power of the Four Symbols.
Early stage of Nascent Soul realm!!!
Chu Yuan slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with intertwined lightning and four-colored light. He looked like a god descending to earth, radiating a terrifying pressure that could change the very fabric of the world.
Duanmu Ji's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, "What! What kind of formation is this? It can actually raise your cultivation to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm!!"
Chu Yuan didn't explain at all.
A flash of bloodlust appeared in his eyes, and the crimson lightning that had been lurking in his sea of consciousness suddenly erupted, transforming into a streak of blood-red lightning that shot out from between his brows.
The lightning was incredibly fast, so fast that even a Nascent Soul cultivator's divine sense couldn't catch it; it struck its target the instant it was released.
"die!"
boom!!
The crimson lightning ignored all defenses, piercing straight into Duanmu Ji's brow and penetrating the depths of his consciousness.
"Forehead!"
Duanmu Ji let out a muffled groan, his body suddenly stiffening.
In that instant, he felt as if his primordial spirit had been pierced by a red-hot iron dagger. Intense pain exploded from the depths of his consciousness, like a thunderbolt striking him, almost tearing his consciousness to shreds.
Blood gushed from all seven orifices at the same time, and the withered figure staggered backward in the sky, retreating hundreds of feet before barely managing to regain his balance.
His hands moved swiftly, forming hand seals, and streams of pure spiritual energy surged into his sea of consciousness, forcefully suppressing the rampant intent. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"This is... a death curse!"
Duanmu Ji stared intently at Chu Yuan, his voice trembling slightly.
"You can even use death curses!"
Chu Yuan's eyes were indifferent, and his face showed disdain.
"ignorance."
Death Curse?
It's just a superficial imitation of extreme conditions.
Extreme Realm specializes in attacking the soul, ignoring all defenses, and is specifically designed to counter all primordial spirits.
If his cultivation level hadn't been only at the early Nascent Soul stage, that attack would have been enough to kill Duanmu Ji on the spot.
Even so, this strike was enough.
This transformation of the Extreme Realm is more than a hundred times stronger than before.
Even when facing an enemy of a higher level, it is enough to pose a deadly threat.
At this moment, Duanmu Ji's primordial spirit was already severely injured; if he were to eat a few more times...
Chu Yuan gave the other party no chance to breathe, and waved his hand.
Behind them, lightning exploded in the void, and a thousand-foot-long lightning dragon instantly took shape.
The dragon was formed entirely of lightning, its body a deep blue with crimson eyes, and arcs of electricity cascading down its body like a waterfall, crackling deafeningly.
Chu Yuan changed his hand seal!
A layer of crimson lightning coiled around it!
"roar!!!"
Chu Yuan's voice was cold.
Upon seeing this, Duanmu's expression changed drastically.
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment!"
Duanmu Ji quickly raised his hand.
"Why should we come to this! Fellow Daoist, you know that when Nascent Soul stage experts clash, the heavens and earth collapse, which would be of no benefit to either of us. Why don't we stop here and talk things over?"
