Divine Brilliance

A sharp metal energy shot out. It flashed across instantly and slashed his face.

Outside of the hall, a ball of fire exploded and smashed one of the cornices in the east.

Zong Shou wasn’t shocked, he was delighted instead. A smile appeared on his face.

It really was fire! Who knew that there was metal hidden within the fire…

Although he didn’t succeed, he had solved this ray of Nine Glory Light!

No matter how it changed later on, it wouldn’t move too far away from its foundations.

The tribulation was all interconnected, so breaking this ray would make it much easier to break the remaining ones!

This originally totally perfect cycle had a flaw.

Just at this moment, Zong Shou heard a cheer spread out from dozens of miles away!

“Guys! That demon obviously can’t take it anymore and doesn’t have extra energy. If we aren’t going to attack now, then what are we waiting for?”

Zong Shou was stunned and totally speechless.

At this time, only five cycles of the Nine Glory Xuankong Cycle of Reincarnation Tribulation had passed. With which eye did this person see that he had no more energy. Just because a corner of this Spirit Locking Hall was blown up?

In an instant, the people were all pumped up. Dozens of miles away, numerous rays of light charged over toward the platform.

Spiritual Light shook, the Heaven Escaping Energy Circling Formation was also activated.

Dozens of cracks formed, spreading through Heaven and Earth. It sliced the dozens of miles of space into many different pieces.

Heaven and Earth spun, waves of Spiritual Light struck outside of the Formation Altar. Instantly, the formation absorbed it and teleported. All the absorbed internal energy and spells were all gathered together and released at the southeast corner.

It pretty much swept out the cultivators within the entire 5 miles, turning them into blood mist, apart from a few Spirit Realm Experts who were barely able to escape.

There were a total of 200 Cultivators who were turned directly into a blood mist. There were two Grade-9 Experts who weren’t able to run.

The tragic state caused the dozens of surrounding miles to become totally silent.

However, just moments later, the light shone even brighter.

However, most of the cultivators including Spirit Realm Experts were blocked outside of the formation.

Only a small portion who attacked especially ferociously could charge in. However, they were often instantly teleported.

They would either appear in front of the army formation and were drowned by giant crossbows or they would appear under the knives of the Blood Cloud Cavalry.

Or they would appear on those other platforms and be drowned by dozens and hundreds of spells.

They all were instantly killed the moment they showed their faces, none were spared.

In a short 10 breaths, there were hundreds and thousands of Cultivators who were buried in this formation.

“What a formation! What a Kong Rui!”

Zong Shou praised. This formation was laid out by Kong Rui and he orchestrated everything. It didn’t just purely block, but consisted of both attack and defense. At every moment, it was reducing the strength of the people who were attacking.

It was like a meat grinder was spinning, crushing the people who charged in into minced meat.

Zong Shou found it weird. With their strength, the Taoist Faction should have been able to see through the ability of this formation. There was no way that they didn’t know that he had made some progress in solving his tribulation.

It was a joke to say that he was out of strength.

His thoughts shifted and in just a moment he understood something.

They were using these people as cannon fodder?

Thinking about it this way, Zong Shou gathered his Spiritual Energy into his eyes. He passed through dozens of miles of space, only to see an elegant looking girl coldly standing there.

There were numerous Spirit Realm Cultivators who were standing solemnly by her side.

It was that female Taoist, Qingming, who escaped from his sword that day!

At this moment, the girl also felt something. She also gathered Soul Power in her eyes and exchanged glances with him. Her lips rose up with slight disdain, filled with a cold mocking intent.

The hatred and grievance within was about to turn physical and was also filled with happiness.

Zong Shou broke into a laugh, thinking to himself that Zigui, who died in his hands, was her lover? Why did she hate him so much?

Seemingly sensing something, this Taoist, the caretaker Head of the Daoling Vast Habitat became anxious…

At this moment, 50 miles around the platform, a bright light shone. Several sharp sword intents charged upward.

There were actually a full 49 True Martial Swordsmen standing all around in 7 True Martial Seven Part Formations. These 7 were interconnected, forming a true formation.

Those threads of sharp Sword Energy spread through the sky. They sliced about and spread all over, charging to the outside of the formation.

The Sword Energy would flash and disappear, bit by bit, destroying and breaking apart the restrictions on the formation.

Zong Shou’s heart jolted. He took a close look and understood.

He noticed that these 49 weren’t Quasi-Spirit Realm True Martial Swordsmen.

Roughly 20 of them were true Spirit Realm. Their cultivation levels were higher and the weapons in their hands weren’t ordinary.

However, they weren’t as familiar with this formation as those real True Martial Swordsmen. The Dao that they cultivated in wasn’t a perfect match with it either.

They were meshed up haphazardly, although they were strong, there were many weaknesses to it.

As expected, the seven formations were like a hot knife through butter at the start, they seemed magnificent and strong, for a moment. However, that Sword Energy slowly halted.

The Heaven Escaping Energy Cycle Formation started to fight back. Those restrictions were recovering as quickly as they were falling apart.

Zong Shou scoffed, casually tossing upward, throwing his Nameless Sword off the platform.

It spun and landed, pinning right on the empty space in front of the platform!

The sword was covered in a shaking red light, which attracted the Yin Soul Energy from all around.

If one could look down from the sky, one could see that all the vital energy of the dead was being gathered beneath the platform like they had a mind of their own.

Following this, he stopped worrying about the situation outside. Zong Shou casually took out a Grade-4 Magical Sword, merging the One Origin Soul Sword into it. Instantly, it rose the Grade-7 Sword to the Upper Magical Artifacts level, mentally connecting it to him.

Then, it formed many heavy layers of sword veils that tangled together with the nine balls of white light.

He couldn’t directly prevent the Nine Glory Tribulation Light from descending on him. He could only slash sword by sword, using the power of the Grand Path to delay.

To probe and to try to solve it.

He would occasionally gain something, slashing out to try to destroy its foundation.

He had no sense of the flow of time, fully focused until another three cycles passed.

A joyous intent appeared on his brow.

As expected, Heaven and Earth had a fixed number of disasters and blessings. Disasters and blessings were connected with one another and blessings might be hidden within disasters, there was never an exception.

If the Heavens took away something, they would definitely give you something back of equal value.

Although the first calamity was strong, so strong that it made one feel despair, if he continued to break it and try to comprehend the laws hidden within, his cultivation would rise greatly.

As long as he turned it around, he would learn the Grand Dao…

At this moment, four hours had passed, he found it tougher and tougher to wave the sword.

He often needed to use 80% of his strength to shatter the light.

However, he felt unwilling to solve this Nine Glory Tribulation Light.

The more time passed, the more Daos he was able to comprehend.

Luckily, the energy and Spiritual Power in his body were continuously increasing and he still had a lot of time.

However, just at this moment, a loud explosion erupted from the sky above.

Those restrictions that couldn’t be broken suddenly had a huge hole right through them. A green shadow entered.

The Cultivators outside cheered once more.

“It is Qingming! The formation has been broken!”

“The formation is lacking, the demon will definitely die! Fellow cultivators, let’s work harder!”

Kong Yao’s brow constricted, her hand was holding onto the silver spear as she stood outside the hall.

The Nine Glory Light targetted Zong Shou and didn’t affect her at all.

The moment that Qingming entered the formation, he flashed several times. He avoided the teleportation of the formation, but surprisingly didn’t attack the main platform.

He chose the platform that Kong Rui was on, his body sped right to the core of it.

At this moment, Zong Shou was finally distracted, but his eyes were still filled with cold, mocking intent.

Late Spirit Realm? Not strong enough!

With just a thought, one of the Cloud Flame Flying Knives in front of him flew up, turning into a Silver Knife Light and breaking into the sky. It instantly covered 100,000 feet.

When the traveling shadow arrived on the sub-platform, the Silver Knife Light also shot over.

A loud clamor spread out from outside of the formation.

“Unparalleled Formation Breaking, Ancient Spirit Breaking Shuttle, really worth his name!”

“Qingming! That place seems like the core area of the formation?”

“Kong Rui controlled the formation today and killed close to 10,000, we can’t let him live!”

He couldn’t worry about the shuttle anymore, his body flashed as he tried to dodge constantly.

However, he still wasn’t able to dodge. With a flash of the silver light, it pierced his brow.

A blood flower exploded out, his body fell and his soul shattered. There were no signs of life from his body.

The voices around became silent once more. Everyone’s eyes focused on the breach of the formation.

Two people had charged in before the formation was about to be patched up.

Then, there were cheers of surprise that rang out around the sky.

“Fenghua, using Talisman Techniques to suppress the world 600 years ago!”

“It is Moying! That demon actually went in too!”

“Working together from the inside and the outside, it will definitely work this time…”

The voice stopped, only to see two streaks of Silver Light shoot out from the Heaven Reaching Platform.

It was extremely bright and eye-catching while also being really beautiful! In the air they drew two beautiful arcs that disappeared with a flash. Then, it stabbed into the brows of the two of them! Moying didn’t even have time to split into his Demon Shadow.

Blood spurted out, his body fell and soul scattered.

The entire space was silent once more, until a furious shout boomed from the south.

“How arrogant!”

As these words were shouted out, numerous wooden vines shot up from the ground.
