Chapter 1223: The Shock of Witnessing Holy Dynasty
The sinister-looking youth chuckled and said, “Just a nobody. However, if you wish to visit our Holy Dynasty of Great Qi, I can introduce you.”
Sun Luyuan pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and replied, “In that case, I will trouble you, little friend.”
The sinister-looking youth, Ou Shangtian, revealed a meaningful smile.
“Hold on tight.”
With a cold shout, his figure instantly closed in and placed a hand on Sun Luyuan’s shoulder.
Sun Luyuan only felt his vision blur. In the next moment, he found himself in the endless void.
Ou Shangtian was already speeding ahead to lead the way.
Sun Luyuan hurriedly followed.
“This young man’s flying speed is truly fast.” Sun Luyuan thought in secret alarm.
The faint, colorful and brilliant glow emanating around his body made Sun Luyuan feel a greedy desire similar to the one he had when facing the Spirit of Heaven and Earth in the past.
Originally confident about this trip, Sun Luyuan’s state of mind was now somewhat disturbed. After flying aimlessly in the void for a while, a magnificent scene hidden like scenery beneath the water surface suddenly appeared ahead.
A massive sphere of light, its interior details impossible to discern.
Around the light sphere, numerous stars revolved, sparkling brilliantly.
Each star seemed to be a Cave-Heaven world.
Even from a great distance, Sun Luyuan was deeply shaken by the sight before him.
“Is this the small world of Great Qi?”
“Where could there be such a large small world?!”
While Sun Luyuan felt immense shock in his heart, he suddenly came back to his senses.
The young man who had been leading the way had disappeared without a trace at some point!
“Senior Hundred Flowers, I caught a Dao Integration cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance. He was sneaking around, clearly up to no good…”
He vaguely heard the young man’s voice coming from an unknown direction.
“Wait!”
Sun Luyuan felt uneasy and was about to shout an explanation.
In the next moment, the scene before his eyes changed abruptly.
The previous vast world and Cave-Heavens vanished. What suddenly appeared before him was a magnificent palace shaped like a spire.
His body had been shrunk dozens of times, like an ant.
Every step in front of the palace looked like a mountain peak.
The majestic and enormous structures filled his vision, causing Sun Luyuan’s breathing to momentarily stop.
What he found even harder to understand was that all his cultivation had somehow completely disappeared.
He was now exactly like an ordinary mortal.
“An illusion?”
Sun Luyuan held his breath and concentrated, trying to clear all distracting thoughts from his mind.
After a long time, his emotions calmed and he opened his eyes again.
The scene before him remained the same magnificent palace, without the slightest change.
Furthermore…
Sun Luyuan discovered with some alarm that his body seemed to have become even smaller.
“Is this… a formation?”
This thought flashed through Sun Luyuan’s mind. He quickly took out Ji Hongdao’s formation-breaking disc once more.
Sure enough, the formation-breaking disc emitted a strong white light.
It flashed continuously as it automatically deduced and worked to break the formation before him.
Just as Sun Luyuan waited full of hope, the flashing frequency of the formation-breaking disc grew faster and faster.
Finally, it could no longer endure. As if reaching its limit, cracks appeared across its surface.
Then it exploded with a boom, leaving nothing behind.
Sun Luyuan stood there in a daze.
When he borrowed this formation-breaking disc, Ji Hongdao had never mentioned that such a situation could occur.
However, Sun Luyuan quickly came to his senses.
It was because this formation was far too complex, well beyond the range that the formation-breaking disc could handle.
“In that case, I can only try to break it with brute force.”
He waited a little longer. Apart from him, no other changes appeared within the formation.
Sun Luyuan took a deep breath. A dark red phantom floated out above his head.
The strongest method of a Dao Integration cultivator came from the Spirit of Heaven and Earth he had refined.
The Spirit of Heaven and Earth that Sun Luyuan had refined back then was named [Blood Shadow].
The instant the Blood Shadow appeared, Sun Luyuan’s body seemed to dissolve under its influence. It melted away strangely, leaving only a layer of skin.
Then it completely merged into the blood color.
Like gurgling flowing water, it moved against the steps, surging rapidly upward along the tall stairs of the formation.
Wherever the blood water flowed, the ground corroded with a hissing sound and left behind scorched traces.
But soon, the palace steps were restored.
The speed of the blood water’s flow grew faster and faster, gradually turning into a streak of red light. It no longer needed to climb along the stairs but shot straight toward the highest point of the palace.
However, the palace itself also underwent corresponding changes.
The stairs increased endlessly on their own, continuously extending in both directions with no end in sight.
Just as the two sides reached a stalemate, the wildly advancing red shadow suddenly burst apart.
It transformed into a sky full of blood rain. Using the dispersing force of the explosion, it no longer stubbornly climbed upward but instead fled in different directions across the space.
Those drops of blood water were instead like extremely scorching lava, capable of burning even space itself.
Wherever they scattered, holes appeared one after another in the formation space.
The towering palace scene trembled slightly.
As the phantom gradually shattered, the blood water that Sun Luyuan had transformed into slowly disappeared through these holes.
“I escaped!”
Sun Luyuan felt wild joy in his heart.
Killing intent surged within him as he prepared to settle accounts with the sinister youth who had led the way earlier. But the voice that reached his ears made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
“It was actually broken?”
“Master is going to punish me now. I worked hard on it for more than half a year, yet I couldn’t even trap a mere Dao Integration cultivator…”
The extremely annoyed tone of the sinister youth did not sound fake.
“What does this mean? Was that terrifying formation just now arranged by that youth? Not the protective grand formation of the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi?”
Sun Luyuan strongly suspected that he had misheard.
“What does ‘worked hard for more than half a year’ mean? Could it be that he is still a beginner? A formation that even the formation-breaking disc could not find flaws in after deducing to its limit is the result of just half a year of his work?”
Sun Luyuan stood there stunned.
“Your formation is actually quite good. It is just that your strength is still too low. When he fully unleashed that blood fire, I estimate that even a Dao Integration cultivator from the Xuanhuang Realm would not be able to withstand it head-on. It is only natural that your formation could not endure it.”
“Focus on your cultivation. In the Xuanhuang Realm, realm still reigns supreme. Strange beasts, strange abilities, and formations are all merely supplementary.”
A gentle female voice sounded beside the youth.
“Understood, Senior Hundred Flowers.” The youth responded somewhat dejectedly.
Amid the shining golden light, Sun Luyuan sensed that he had been locked onto by a gaze.
The aura coming from the other party made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
“This is…”
“A Longevity Immortal cultivator?”
Sun Luyuan’s mind went completely blank.
He had never expected that, right after arriving at the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi, he would immediately encounter a Longevity Immortal Heavenly Sovereign.
“Hundred Flowers? What kind of Dao is that? Why have I never heard of it before?”
“You are from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance? What is your purpose in coming to our Holy Dynasty?” Daoist Hundred Flowers asked calmly.
Invisible golden light had already enveloped Sun Luyuan.
With just a single thought from her, this Dao Integration cultivator from the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance could be turned into colored glass and easily crushed.
After all, so much source power essence had not been consumed for nothing.
