Protect Our Clan Leader

“Anye, hehe~~ this is way stronger than that loushizi Sword Array of yours, isn’t it?” Sacred Supreme of a Thousand Formations stroked his beard, looking smug. “You’d better just follow me and properly learn Large Formation Path; that’s the real broad and bright road~”

“I don’t think Sword Arrays are bad at all. If I gather more Immortal Swords to form a Sword Array, the combat power is also very fierce,” Wang Anye said. “I can even use a Sacred Sword as the core of the Sword Array, then dealing with True Immortal Realm experts would be easy. These large Formations are powerful, sure, but after one big strike the charge‑up time is way too long, and they’re not mobile.”

Sacred Supreme of a Thousand Formations was momentarily at a loss for words.

In the past few years, Wang Anye had already advanced to the Transcendent Void Realm, and his Bloodline had shed its skin into the state of an eleven‑layer Pure Yuan Immortal Body, already comparable to an ordinary True Immortal Realm.

If he got seven or eight, or ten Immortal Swords, then added a hundred or so Dao-level Items to form a Sword Array, a True Immortal really would have to take a detour when they saw him.

If he then got a Sacred Sword as the core of the Sword Array… the power would be downright unimaginable. Whether for group fights or one‑on‑one duels, it would be terrifying.

Can the Wang family afford a Sacred Sword? Most likely they can…

“Master, I get it now.” One of Thousand Formations’ core True Immortal Disciples sighed faintly. “It’s not that the Sword Array Path isn’t strong, it’s just that you have to be rich. The richer you are, the stronger it gets! For a rich guy doing sword array dual cultivation, killing enemies across realms is a piece of cake.”

“Senior Brother is right. If I had as much money as Young Master Anye, I’d also cultivate the Sword Array Path…” A Disciple in the Transcendent Void Realm also sighed with emotion. “Large Formation Path sounds impressive, but in the end we’re just brick‑moving laborers. How could that compare to the world’s best style of Ten Thousand Swords unleashing and killing enemies across realms? This really is poor ghosts building grand Formations for others, while rich young lords play with Sword Arrays~”

This sentence did indeed lay bare the awkwardness of Formation Cultivators. Poor Formation Cultivators can only drift around doing odd jobs: today helping someone repair and maintain a Mountain Protection Array, tomorrow taking some big Formation project. The pay looks hefty, but stripped bare, they’re still just working for others.

Wang Anye, on the other hand, was different. With a wealthy family foundation and abundant resources, why would he need to dig so deep into the Dao of grand Formations? Even if he did study the Formation Path and reached the level of Sacred Supreme of a Thousand Formations, leading a team to build a Super space teleportation formation in a hundred years—so what?

The entire Transfer Array project cost more than a hundred Chaos Spirit Stones, but over ninety percent of that was material costs. Only eight or nine Chaos Spirit Stones were paid out to them, the Array Masters, as compensation, and after deducting over a hundred years of daily expenses, it still had to be shared by the whole team.

Most importantly of all, projects on the level of a Super space teleportation formation aren’t something you can just take whenever you feel like it.

Jobs of this scale are basically either led by a Divine Dynasty or led by a Dao Palace; ordinary forces like a Sacred Dynasty or a Heavenly Abode simply can’t afford to build them.

But Divine Dynasties and Dao Palaces have their own Sacred Supreme Formation teams, okay? Even if these guys get involved, they’re just there to assist in the construction.

To put it bluntly, most of the time Sacred Supreme of a Thousand Formations’ team is doing scattered small jobs, and only occasionally do they snag a fat, juicy project.

Hearing his Disciples’ spineless words, Sacred Supreme of a Thousand Formations’ old face flushed red as he scolded, “What nonsense are you all spouting? Large Formation Path naturally has the advantages of Large Formation Path.”

He paused for a moment. No matter how reluctant he was, he still sighed and muttered, “But for a rich young lord like this brat Anye, cultivating the Sword Array Path does indeed give him a personal edge.”

Speaking of this, Sacred Supreme of a Thousand Formations was actually somewhat helpless.

These days, it’s really not easy to find young people with outstanding Formation Talent and Cultivation Talent. Wang Anye was absolutely the first one he’d encountered in so many years.

Unfortunately, the heir to his legacy whom he valued so highly just happened to be a rich young master with deep pockets.

Let’s not mention how depressed Sacred Supreme of a Thousand Formations felt in his heart.

This group of Formation Cultivators hid leisurely within the space fold, chatting away. Outside the space fold, however, the Asura Demon Lord’s mood had already hit rock bottom.

“We’ve been tricked!” Its ferocious face was dark, and its roar shook the entire Demonic Palace. “Activate the backup shield, withdraw the army immediately, withdraw! We’ve been tricked—withdraw at once!”

The Demon Lord’s flagship naturally couldn’t have only one set of shields.

With a single order from the Asura Demon Lord, the backup shield was quickly activated. Under the efforts of the Demonic Clan elites, the rolling Demonic Palace was stabilized once again and laboriously turned around to retreat backward.

Right now the Hyperspace vortex hadn’t fully closed yet. As long as they sped up and traversed back along the reverse direction, there was still a chance to survive.

But under the Wang family’s leadership, the Divine Martial World had been planning this operation for a very, very long time. How could they really let prey already in hand slip away?

Just as the Asura Demon Palace began its retreat—

At the structural node of space near the Hyperspace vortex, three huge, jet‑black spheres faintly revealed their outlines.

They adjusted their positions slightly, then detonated with a thunderous roar.

“Boom, boom, boom!”

The violent explosions blew apart the key nodes of the Super Space Corridor, and at the same time caused the internal structure of the Hyperspace vortex—formed by the Formation’s powerful twisting of space—to collapse.

It was like a spring stretched to the extreme suddenly snapping.

In that instant—

The Hyperspace vortex crumbled like the sky falling and the earth splitting.

The vast Energy composing the Hyperspace vortex was detonated in an instant like an ammunition depot. A violent Space Storm swept out, the Shock Wave carrying space shards in a ring, spreading in all directions.

The Asura Demon Palace, which had been charging at high speed toward the Space Vortex, bore the brunt. It was flung away like a soccer ball, its backup shield shattering in an instant. The entire Demonic Palace warped violently and nearly fell apart under the terrifying power of the blast.
