Chapter 1312 A terrifying sword-based killing formation, Chen Yang is in grave danger.
However, the suppression of his cultivation level did not pose a significant threat to Chen Yang, as his Yuan Dan was already in a sealed state, and the amount of true essence he could utilize within his body was limited.
In the battle just now, he mainly used the power of his physical body.
His Xuanhuang Dao Body, which is at the half-complete stage, has its most fundamental physical power unsuppressed here.
Bang bang bang!
Chen Yang moved forward step by step, each step cautious, extending his divine sense as far as possible to sense the dangers around him and try to break the killing formation on the ground.
Chen Yang had a hunch that Jian Chen was hidden somewhere in this dense fog killing formation, perhaps even staring at him with wide eyes, like a predator in the dark night, waiting for its chance to strike.
As a true disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, Jian Chen would likely find the Cloud Mist Killing Array of this old place transparent to him.
It's like this is a minefield. Chen Yang doesn't know where the mines are buried, so he has to be extremely careful. Otherwise, one wrong step could lead to utter ruin.
If it were a divine realm killing formation, he could still put up a fight, but a golden core killing formation set up by a Nascent Soul expert was dangerous enough for him. Even with his Xuanhuang Dao Body at the half-step Great Perfection stage, he would not dare to risk his life easily.
Therefore, he had to be careful with every step he took and try his best to break the formation.
Jian Chen, on the other hand, had a clear understanding of the entire killing formation, knowing exactly where it was safe and where it was dangerous.
That's completely unfair!
However, has there ever been true fairness in this world?
Chen Yang summoned the Purple-Gold Dragon Scale Armor, applying a layer of protection to his physical body.
The Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain magic weapon was also taken out, hovering above his head, emitting beams of Yuan Magnetic Divine Light to add another layer of protection to his physical body.
With the Golden Sacred Body, which was halfway to completion, pushed to its limit, its essence, energy, and spirit also reached their peak.
The Sun, Moon, and Stars Greatsword should naturally be carried in hand, so that it can be used for both offense and defense.
To speed up the process of breaking the formation, Chen Yang summoned the Earth Vein Dragon and sent it into the Earth Vein below.
This Heaven-Suppressing and Earth-Enhancing Formation can only operate by drawing upon the continuous power of the earth's veins.
Therefore, when the ley line dragon rushes into the ley line, it's like cheating, greatly accelerating the speed at which he breaks through the formation.
Furthermore, if the ley line dragon severs the connection between the ley lines and the formation, the formation may even cease to function.
Of course, it all depends on how powerful the ley line dragon is and whether it has the ability to do so.
Clang!
Suddenly, the void behind Chen Yang twisted, and a long sword thrust straight at him. A purple sword light shot out from the tip of the sword, like a purple lightning bolt, rushing towards Chen Yang's back, extremely sharp.
"You little beast, I didn't expect you to actually manage to get in. Now that you're in, it saves me the trouble of going to the Immortal Sect to call for reinforcements to kill you. This killing formation will become your burial ground." Jian Chen's voice came from the shadows, cold and sinister.
Click!
Chen Yang turned around and swung his sword, accurately striking the purple sword light and shattering it into pieces.
"It's useless. You can dodge one sword, but can you dodge a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand swords? I am a true disciple of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. In this sword-wielding killing formation, I am the master. Today, I will surely kill you!" Jian Chen said arrogantly.
"You talk too much nonsense. You're not qualified to kill me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang threw a punch, following the sound.
boom!
This punch caused the sky to collapse and the earth to crack, and ghosts to wail and gods to howl.
A golden fist imprint, accompanied by raging flames, shot out like a comet, leaving a long trail of golden light.
"You dare to fight back? You really don't know what's good for you."
Enraged, Jian Chen swung his Purple Ying Divine Weapon and cleaved Chen Yang's fist imprint in two with a single strike.
Boom!
The punch, though seemingly harmless, unleashed a deafening roar, as if a sword had struck a cannonball. It even unleashed a terrifying shockwave of fire, causing large cracks to spread across the ground.
This fiery shockwave swept wildly within the sword-dao killing formation, reviving numerous Dao array patterns engraved on the ground. It stirred up a chaotic aura around the sword dust, with the killing intent of Geng metal and the cloud-like, sword-like gales...
The once calm cloud and mist killing formation suddenly became violent, with endless clouds and mist churning up and turning into cloud and mist storms and great cloud and mist dragons.
Even though Jian Chen was familiar with this killing formation, he was caught off guard and ended up covered in dust and several bloody scratches on his body.
Of course, Chen Yang wasn't having an easy time either. He also had Dao array patterns reviving around him, trying to kill him. However, he was armed to the teeth with the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain magic treasure on his head and wearing the Purple-Gold Dragon Scale Battle Armor. He wasn't as disheveled as Jian Jianchen.
"You brat, you deserve to die! You managed to trick me before you died. This will be your final revenge." Jian Chen said viciously, his hatred for Chen Yang running deep in his bones.
He couldn't wait a moment longer; he had to kill Chen Yang now.
"Activate the killing formation! Kill this brat!" Jian Chen shouted.
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard, causing the earth to tremble violently.
Immediately afterwards, he plunged the Purple Ying Divine Weapon in his hand into the earth, all the way down to the hilt.
Then, an incredibly terrifying scene unfolded: the entire land shrouded in mist was ablaze with color as countless killing patterns intertwined and lashed out at Chen Yang.
These killing array patterns, created by Nascent Soul cultivators, are imprinted on the earth and possess immense power, capable of killing Golden Core cultivators.
Chen Yang gasped, activating his Flowing Cloud Steps to dodge the barrage of attacks.
"Huh, you actually managed to dodge?"
Seeing Chen Yang's agile movements as he dodged the attacks, Jian Chen couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
You must understand that the ground at this moment is like a minefield, densely packed with countless mines. If you step on any one of them, you could be blown to pieces.
However, Chen Yang's footsteps seemed to vanish, weaving left and right, managing to avoid every single killing array pattern. It was as if he had broken through this cloud-shrouded killing array.
But this is obviously impossible.
Jian Chen felt it was more of a coincidence.
He never imagined that Chen Yang wasn't fighting alone; there was a small earth vein dragon underground. It was the earth vein dragon that helped him break the formation, allowing him to nimbly evade the attacks.
Chi Chi Chi!
One after another, powerful Gengjin sword energies soared into the sky, each as thick as a water bucket. They no longer charged directly at Chen Yang, but intertwined in the high sky to form a colossal sword that shook the heavens and slashed at Chen Yang like a celestial sword.
The destructive power of this sword strike was terrifying, rivaling that of a Nascent Soul cultivator's attack.
"It's useless. Even if you break through this killing formation, its power is in my hands. I can kill you like a chicken! You can't escape. You will die today without a doubt," Jian Chen said coldly.
The authority over this killing formation is none other than the greatsword in his hand, the Purple Ying Divine Weapon.
He can control the killing formation here and attack Chen Yang.
This land is incredibly ancient. Countless ages ago, it was the domain of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. The endless killing array patterns it inscribed there seem to have all surfaced at this moment, imprinted in the void like symbols of gods and demons, mysterious and unpredictable. The aura of death is overwhelming, giving one the feeling of being in hell.
What's terrifying is that these killing array patterns can be combined.
At this moment, Jian Chen condensed the endless killing array patterns into a greatsword.
The greatsword was a thousand feet long, soaring straight into the sky like a mountain, as if it were held in the hand of a Nascent Soul cultivator, and it was slashing fiercely at Chen Yang.
This sword strike was incredibly powerful, even more terrifying than the divine mark of the Great Dao that Jian Chen unleashed with the Purple Ying Sword. It was like a celestial sword slashing down, directly matching the attack of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
In an instant, Chen Yang's back was soaked with sweat. He felt a great terror, as if he were facing a Nascent Soul level expert.
Clang!
A sword beam a thousand feet long cleaved the sky in an instant, its light so dazzling that it was impossible to look directly at it.
At this moment, Chen Yang was once again in the midst of a killing formation, his magical power was imprisoned. If it were an ordinary person, they would most likely perish, because the speed of the sword light was too fast and it would be difficult to dodge.
However, Chen Yang activated his Flowing Cloud Stepping Technique and dodged it once again.
His footsteps vanished, perfectly avoiding all the killing array patterns.
"Interesting. It seems you've actually cracked the killing array here. It looks like your mortal world has already discovered this Shu Mountain secret realm," Jian Chen said.
He noticed that Chen Yang was very familiar with the killing array patterns here, hence his statement.
Little did they know, all of this was thanks to the earth vein dragon.
The earth vein dragon is helping Chen Yang break the formation underground.
If Chen Yang were to break the formation on the ground, the speed would be far slower.
Moreover, Chen Yang discovered that this killing formation was indeed drawing upon the earth's energy, using it as a source of power to activate the killing formation and transform it into unparalleled offensive power, much like a Nascent Soul expert in battle, with inexhaustible and tireless power.
There isn't just one underground ley line, but many.
It was clearly a powerful individual from the Shu Mountain Sword Sect who had imprisoned several dragon veins from other places.
As the number one sword sect in the world, it's perfectly understandable that they would imprison several dragon veins to create a blessed land. It's not a difficult task for them at all.
Since this killing formation uses the underground dragon vein as its power source and can operate for thousands of years without stopping, it is much easier to break.
Of course, it was easy for Chen Yang to break through, because he had a small earth vein dragon body, and this body was very powerful. It had even survived the lightning tribulation and had a trace of a true dragon's aura on its body.
For others, this would be even more difficult.
All that's needed is for the earth vein dragons to destroy or sever these underground dragon veins, and the killing formation will stop operating on its own.
"Old man, have you had enough sleep? Go down and help the Earth Vein Dragon, help me break the formation." Chen Yang took out the Changbai Mountain ginseng from his spatial ring and gave it orders.
The old man was still fast asleep, completely oblivious to Chen Yang's life or death.
"Who dares to disturb the old ginseng's rest?"
The old ginseng from Changbai Mountain seemed to have a bad temper when it woke up, and said very angrily.
Chen Yang showed no mercy and threw him directly into the killing formation.
"Ah ah ah..."
The old ginseng from Changbai Mountain let out a miserable cry and jumped high into the air.
Clang clang!
Several beams of killing intent slashed towards it.
As expected, the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain had also trained. It dodged left and right in the air and successfully avoided the killing intent. After landing on the ground, it plunged into the ground.
This old Changbai Mountain ginseng is like the local earth god; with its help, the earth vein dragon will definitely break through the formation, and the efficiency will be greatly improved.
Clang clang!
More killing array patterns revived, condensing into more sword beams, each a thousand feet long, with unparalleled attack power, all slashing down towards Chen Yang.
If it were a single, towering sword beam, Chen Yang could handle it. But now, with dozens of thousand-foot-long swords slashing down at the same time, with all sorts of horizontal and vertical cuts, Chen Yang was finding it very difficult.
As the saying goes, even a novice can defeat a master.
Moreover, each of these sword beams is a thousand feet long and possesses unparalleled attack power, capable of slaying Golden Core cultivators.
when!
Chen Yang slashed at a thousand-foot-long sword beam with the force of his Sun, Moon and Stars Greatsword, but the Greatsword flew sideways with a mournful cry, and bloody marks appeared on Chen Yang's large hand. In particular, the tiger's mouth was even cracked open.
Boom!
Another earth-shattering roar erupted as the Yuan Magnetic Divine Mountain magic treasure above Chen Yang's head was cleaved away, its dazzling Yuan Magnetic Divine Light suddenly dimming.
Pfft!
Then another thousand-foot-long sword beam slashed down. Chen Yang couldn't completely dodge it; the sword beam grazed past him, sending him flying. His purple-gold dragon scale armor was also cleaved in two, revealing a bloodstain beneath the tear.
Jian Chen unleashed his full power, pushing the power of the sword formation to its limit.
In an instant, Chen Yang found himself in an extremely dangerous situation.
"Boy, I told you, you couldn't escape. This killing formation was personally set up by a Nascent Soul elder of my Shu Mountain Sword Sect countless years ago. Even though countless years have passed and the formation's destructive power has weakened, killing a Divine Realm cultivator like you is as easy as killing a chicken. Now, let's end it." Jian Chen sneered, confident that he had Chen Yang firmly under his control.
Seeing Chen Yang being cleaved away, he quickly took control of the killing formation, condensing even more killing light, and slashed towards Chen Yang.
Dozens more sword beams, each a thousand feet long and resembling celestial swords, were unleashed, almost impenetrable, slashing down at Chen Yang on the ground with the force to shatter the heavens.
Each sword beam was almost as powerful as a Nascent Soul strike. How terrifying would the power be if dozens of sword beams fell together?
This time, Chen Yang was unable to dodge and was instantly engulfed by dozens of descending sword beams, completely covering him.
Dang Dang Dang!
A sound like the clanging of iron could be heard, which was probably the sound of the sword light striking Chen Yang.
"This kid's physical body is indeed powerful. Even under such sword light, he was not defeated in one blow, and even made a sound like steel clashing."
"However, it's no use in persisting, because the power of the formation is inexhaustible."
"You can hold out for a while, but can you hold out for a whole day and night? I can grind you down to death even if I use a formation."
Jian Chen wore an arrogant expression, striking a victorious pose.
Boom boom boom!
Under Jian Chen's control, more sword beams surged forth, each one like a shooting star, shining brightly with silver light, eventually forming almost a silver waterfall.
