Chapter 1672
"Good, very good!" The golden-robed youth's voice was icy cold. "In the star field under the jurisdiction of my Nine Nether Holy Land, the Chaos Nest, which opens only once every ten thousand years, has always been the first place entered by disciples of my Holy Land! How could any party not know this rule? You young demon races dare to break this rule; you have a death wish!"
He clearly regarded Lin Yuqiong and her brother as part of the group that attacked from the shadows, and felt that the dignity of the sacred place had been trampled into the mud. The murderous intent in his eyes almost solidified into a tangible form.
Chen Xuan didn't take the threat seriously at all. Seeing that the remaining Nascent Soul Realm and Void Reversal Realm cultivators who were chasing Lin Yuqiong and her brother were still making moves, he moved his fingertips again—another purple arrow tore through the void, faster than before, and the pressure of the Great Dao wrapped in the arrow almost collapsed the surrounding space!
"Pfft!"
Before the five could even scream, they were pierced by arrows and instantly turned to ashes.
The arrows continued their relentless barrage, still hurtling towards the golden-clad youth!
"You're courting death!" The golden-clad youth thrust out two fingers, the golden light at his fingertips increasing several times over, resembling two blades capable of slaying immortals.
"when!"
The crisp sound made the void hum. Although he caught the arrow, his originally steady figure was shaken back half a step!
The violent energy surged into his body through his fingertips, and the golden-robed youth's throat moved slightly as his blood and qi surged—among his peers, there were very few who could force him to retreat!
"How is this possible?" the silver-clad youth exclaimed in shock. "There's such a figure among the rogue cultivators? He forced my elder brother back with a single arrow? Could he be a reclusive archer? But which archer at the Nascent Soul Reversal Realm isn't renowned throughout the star field?"
The girl in the black dress also lost her nonchalance, her beautiful eyes fixed on the direction from which the arrow came, her fingertips secretly gripping the jade pendant at her waist, her divine sense already spread out.
The remaining cultivators who had been chasing Lin Yuqiong and her brother were now pale as ghosts, retreating in a panic—but they were too late.
Chen Xuan originally wanted to use this incident to establish his authority, and these clowns had come to him of their own accord, so how could he let them go? Moreover, Lin Yuqiong had said before that most of the quasi-saints and saints who participated in the Chaos Nest training were mortal enemies of Qilin City and intended to take their place.
What difference does it make whether we kill them now or later in Qilin City? On the contrary, we can use this opportunity to intimidate all sides!
Just as the dozen or so people were about to retreat to the vicinity of the three golden-robed youths, a loud shout rang out from afar: "Great formation, activate!"
“Boom—”
Before the sound subsided, three huge, staggered light shields suddenly lit up, like three inverted domes, instantly locking the dozen or so people inside!
"Everyone," Chen Xuan's voice suddenly turned sharp, resounding directly in everyone's hearts, "This path was opened by my Sacred Annihilation Sect. To pass this test, each of you must leave behind ten million catties of Origin Liquid! Just now, you thirty-odd people were arrogant and deserved to be killed—the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, remember this in your next life!"
His divine sense already covered 40,000 miles, and his voice transmission was like thunder, instantly causing the faces of the cultivators present to change drastically!
What they feared was not just the triple immortal-level array, but also the terrifying power to extend divine sense to such a wide area!
The cultivators within the formation were terrified, hastily pulling out their most treasured talismans and one-time-use magic weapons, and frantically bombarded the light barrier. However, this triple formation was the foundation of Chen Xuan's Great Dao, refined to its ultimate level. Even with its full power unleashed, the light barrier remained unmoved, and the shockwave caused their hands to crack.
Those cultivators outside the formation who hadn't dared to make a move were all still shaken, secretly relieved—thankfully they hadn't acted impulsively!
“Swoosh—”
Another purple arrow pierced the air, so fast that it left only a blur. Its shriek was like the grim reaper's laughter. Even more strangely, the arrow itself made a flexible turn in mid-air!
"Puff puff!"
With a series of muffled thuds, all thirteen people trapped in the formation were pierced through, and none survived!
Three arrows annihilated more than thirty people from the Holy City and Quasi-Holy City who were at the Nascent Soul Realm and the Void Reversal Realm!
In the void, the magical treasures and storage bags they left behind floated down and were all collected by the ugly fox woman who had been following Lin Yuqiong.
"If you want to pass the Chaos Barrier, bring me ten million catties of Origin Liquid." Chen Xuan's voice returned to its cold tone, carrying an undeniable pressure. "Of course, you can also try to break through the formation—but if you do, you will become mortal enemies!"
Under the chilling effect of the brutal killing, not a single young cultivator outside the formation dared to utter a sound; they all gasped in shock, their eyes darting around.
Many successors of holy cities and quasi-holy cities frequently looked at the golden-robed youth—this pressure was clearly directed at the Nine Nether Holy Land!
According to the rules, the Nine Nether Holy Land should have entered the Divine Nest first and set up a checkpoint at Chaos Pass to collect tolls. But this time, not only did someone beat them to it, but they were also threatened by someone setting up a checkpoint. Many people were secretly suppressing their laughter, wanting to see how the three core disciples of the Nine Nether Holy Land would deal with this.
"Brother, this man is quite capable; we must be careful," the silver-clad youth whispered.
"Hmph, daring to disregard my Nine Nether Holy Land, you're doomed!" The golden-robed youth snorted coldly, took a step forward, and stood directly in front of the triple array's light barrier.
His eyes snapped open, his dark pupils instantly turning golden, two beams of golden light seemingly capable of tearing through the void and piercing into the distance: "Fellow Daoist in the shadows, daring to commit such a great act in the Nine Netherworld Realm, do you dare to state your name and Daoist title?"
Chen Xuan's laughter echoed, his divine sense transmitting a vast and powerful message that resounded in all directions: "I, the one who destroyed the Holy Sect, am the number one master of the Nine Heavens!"
This title was far too arrogant, and the cultivators present were immediately in an uproar—having traversed the nebula for hundreds of years, they had never seen any junior dare to use such a title; it was as if "courting death" was written all over their faces!
"The Annihilation Sect? Never heard of it... They actually allow their disciples to use that name?" The crowd murmured to themselves.
The golden-robed youth frowned deeply: "Fellow Daoist Jiuxiao, regardless of our past grievances, today's events have made reconciliation between our two families irreconcilable!" He swept his gaze across the grand formation, his tone arrogant, "You can perfectly control a triple-layered immortal-level formation; your talent in formations is quite good. But formations cannot trap those outside. Breaking this formation is as easy as turning my hand!"
With that, he flipped his hand and took out a blood-red shuttle. The shuttle was covered with ferocious divine patterns, and an aura of destruction emanated from it: "This is the 'Formation-Breaking Shuttle,' a top-grade Immortal-rank weapon! My master obtained it on the Immortal King battlefield!"
He stared into the depths of the void, his voice icy: "If you know what's good for you, come out yourself! Otherwise, after I break the formation, I will capture your soul and suppress it in the Nine Netherworld Yin Wind Valley, making you suffer the torment of the Yin winds corroding your soul day and night!"
Chen Xuan merely smiled faintly, his voice full of disdain: "Oh? So confident? Then let's try."
