Chapter 254: His Strongest Domain

He's here!

While the whole battlefield was shocked by Lu Xun's strength, Lu Xun had already attacked again.

Corrupt Heart Poison Barrier!

A Six Realms demonic cultivator, without a word, released a large expanse of poisonous mist, enveloping them.

This poisonous mist is extremely terrifying; if a Six Realms cultivator dares to enter, their entire strength will be corroded.

They even permeated space, effectively blocking some spatial techniques.

Lu Xun sensed the threat and did not rashly approach.

Burn it!

His method is very simple.

Burn with Southern Ming Separation Fire.

Southern Ming Separation Fire counters all heretical ways.

Then, seeing Southern Ming Separation Fire appear, that expanse of poisonous mist was quickly scorched to nothing.

Hurry up!

The Six Realms demonic cultivator who released the poisonous mist panicked.

Nine Nether Demon Barrier!

Another Six Realms demonic cultivator fiercely slapped the Myriad Soul Banner.

Boom!

The Myriad Soul Banner shuddered violently, and countless demonic qi burst forth.

The next second, the Myriad Soul Banner disappeared from Lu Xun's field of view.

Along with its disappearance, the two Six Realms demonic cultivators also vanished.

Rumble!

At the same time, rumbling sounds continued throughout the Nine Nether Annihilation Grand Formation.

Oh my god...

In Rong Cheng, those who had just escaped from the Demonic Vine looked up and were all terrified.

Because a huge human face appeared in the sky.

That face looked exactly like the Six Realms demonic cultivator who was commanding the Myriad Soul Banner.

His face was full of cruelty, as if he were a god looking down upon all of Rong Cheng.

His gaze swept over Lu Xun, revealing a hint of a victor's smile.

As if saying, "No matter how talented you are."

Victory still belongs to us!

Die.

He suddenly opened his mouth and sucked at an area.

Ah...

The hundreds of thousands of people in that area instantly felt a tremendous suction.

This suction was too great; even cultivators of the First or Second Realm could not withstand it.

What it sucked was not the body.

But the soul!

Then, seeing as he sucked, countless souls were directly drawn out and flew up to the sky.

Not good!

The Rong Cheng President's face darkened.

The joy Lu Xun had just felt from killing two Six Realms cultivators vanished completely.

What he feared most had happened.

That is the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation itself.

It is the demonic formation itself that is the greatest reliance of these several Six Realms cultivators this time.

Otherwise, even at the Yao Xing invasion pass, with four Six Realms cultivators, how could they dare to undertake such a huge endeavor?

Given the East's current overall strength, even if the situation were even more dire, a Seventh Realm cultivator could still be dispatched.

After all, Rong Cheng has a population of over ten million.

Now, the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation has been fully activated; thus the remaining two Six Realms demonic cultivators can, through this grand formation, harvest all the souls of Rong Cheng's over ten million people.

By then, the power of the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation will further increase.

Even if they ultimately cannot defeat Lu Xun and the President, those over ten million people of Rong Cheng are still doomed.

In fact, if the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation cannot be broken, letting it continue like this will be troublesome even for Six Realms cultivators in the end.

This grand formation initially absorbs souls, but eventually it will become a furnace.

This furnace is capable of refining the bodies of Rong Cheng's over ten million people into pellets of Human Pellet.

Consuming one of these Human Pellets provides great nourishment.

The more one eats, the more terrifying the Heavenly Tribulation encountered on Lan Xing becomes.

Heavenly Tribulation mainly targets Immortal Cultivators.

It exists from the Fifth Realm onward.

But this tribulation, though called a tribulation, is actually just a test of the Heavenly Dao.

The cultivation of Immortal Cultivators is not as comprehensive as that of Martial Cultivators, yet the power they wield in every gesture is extraordinarily terrifying.

Therefore, Heavenly Tribulation is needed to temper them.

If one is a martial cultivator, only after reaching the Ninth Realm does one face the three calamities of heaven, earth, and man.

If one is a demon cultivator, that tribulation is not a test but a means to torment them to death.

These demon cultivators originally planned to pull off this job and then defect to the demon race, with no intention of staying long on Lan Xing.

Naturally, they had no scruples.

Boom~

The Southern Ming Separation Fire burned to where the Myriad Soul Banner had been, yet found nothing.

After the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation was fully activated, the Myriad Soul Banner and those two Six Realms demon cultivators were no longer in the same space as them.

Without breaking the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation, Lu Xun couldn't find them even if he used spatial means.

President, what should we do?

Commander Wang had no ideas.

First rescue the people, hold out until reinforcements arrive.

After the President said that, he instinctively looked toward Lu Xun, wanting to hear Lu Xun's opinion.

You go rescue the people; I'll break the formation!

Lu Xun said in a deep voice.

Lu Xun wants to break the formation?

The President wanted to say that the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation is at least a seventh-grade formation.

Formations are different from spirit talismans and such.

A seventh-grade spirit talisman can basically only be used against Six Realms cultivators; it poses some threat to Seven Realms cultivators, but the threat is not great.

For example, an attack-oriented seventh-grade spirit talisman is equivalent only to a full-strength strike from a Seven Realms cultivator.

As fellow Seven Realms cultivators, could they not block another Seven Realms cultivator's strike?

Formations, however, are different.

A seventh-grade formation can completely render a Seven Realms cultivator powerless.

To forcibly break it, one needs an Eight Realms cultivator.

Even an Eight Realms cultivator might not be able to break it in a single blow; it may take several strikes to break the formation.

If it's a Seven Realms cultivator, it's not impossible to break, but it would take time and likely require using many trump cards.

The power of spirit talismans diminishes downward.

But the power of formations increases upward!

So, Lu Xun's words made the President instantly doubtful.

Lu Xun's cultivation progress being this formidable is one thing.

Could it be that he also understands formations?

But this is at least a seventh-grade formation; even if Lu Xun knows a bit about formations, he probably can't handle it.

Although that's the case, the President still swallowed his doubts.

Good!

After responding, the President led many cultivators rushing toward the area where souls were being sucked.

Lu Xun's strength is itself a pleasant surprise.

If so, then let Lu Xun give it a try; it's not too late.

Soon, the President arrived at that area.

Block it!

Some attacked the giant face in the sky, while others employed techniques or martial arts to press down the souls that had been sucked away.

But even the President's attacks could do nothing to that huge face in the sky.

He could only exert himself fully, using his piercing true intent to forcibly block the suction emanating from the face.

This move is effective; it can indeed save some people.

But still, over a hundred thousand people's souls were sucked away by the face.

Hah!

On the Myriad Soul Banner, the Six Realms demon cultivator gave a cold chuckle, turned his face slightly, and opened his mouth to suck at another area dozens of li away.

President, over there!

Commander Wang pointed toward the other side.

Damn it!

The President felt it was troublesome; he moved his body and rushed over quickly.

A distance of several dozen kilometers, even for a Six Realms cultivator, still requires some time to cover.

Not good!

Save me~

Everyone come over!

The Chu family.

The Chu elder violently shook his true qi, protecting Murong Yan and Chu Yuping within his true qi range.

Seeing this, others crowded toward the Chu elder.

Because the area where that giant face was sucking souls happened to be their side.

The suction emitted from that face is extremely terrifying; cultivators below the Four Realms find it very hard to resist.

A Four Realms master can still forcefully hold out, and can also use true qi and true intent to prop up an area.

This area is too small, only able to shelter a few people.

Old Master Chu's first choice was Murong Yan and Chu Yuping.

"All of you get lost, you dead girl..."

Wang Qunyun, cursing, pushed through the crowd, trying to get close to Old Master Chu.

But at this time, even the Chu family's servants wouldn't let her.

What's more, the servants' souls had already left, their bodies gone limp.

"Ah... save me, Yuqiang, save me... Old Master Chu, save me..."

Then, a huge suction force came over.

Wang Qunyun's soul was directly sucked away.

Although she and Chu Yuqiang were powerful in the Chu family, her strength was actually inferior to Murong Yan's.

She is still only at the peak of the Second Realm, hasn't broken through to the Third Realm.

The only thing is, her belly is more promising than Murong Yan's, having borne several sons.

Her soul frantically cried for help, but to no avail; it was sucked straight up into the sky, into the human face.

As for the Chu Yuqiang she called for, he too was like a mud bodhisattva crossing the river—unable to protect himself, desperately resisting the suction there.

Then the President finally arrived, waving his long spear, letting his spear intent explode in all directions.

The other three Fifth Realm leaders likewise went all out, blocking the face's suction.

"Let's see how long you can hold out."

The Six Realms demonic cultivator didn't care, immediately moved to a place dozens of li away, opened his mouth and sucked.

Each suck, he could draw away at least a hundred thousand souls.

Even though Rong Cheng has over ten million people, it can't withstand the torment.

At that moment, in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner beneath his feet, the souls sucked in were packed together, struggling painfully inside.

Both sides of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were twisted human faces.

Another Six Realms demonic cultivator's gaze fell on Lu Xun.

After they disappeared, Lu Xun flew around Rong Cheng like a headless fly.

He knew Lu Xun was trying to find a way to break the formation.

"With just you, you want to break the Nine Abysses Annihilation Formation?"

The Six Realms demonic cultivator sneered.

"Xiao Jin, go!"

As his laughter faded, Lu Xun suddenly threw the Golden Toad, pointing at a skyscraper.

"Ribbit!"

The Golden Toad leapt there and sucked hard at the skyscraper.

The people hidden inside the building were directly sucked out by it.

After spitting those people onto the ground, the Golden Toad jumped high, then performed an inverted fall, crashing into the skyscraper.

"Ribbit~"

As it was about to land, its tongue shot out, smashing the skyscraper from top to bottom into countless fragments.

Not only did it become fragments, but the underground of the skyscraper was also struck by its tongue, creating a huge pit tens of meters deep.

"Ribbit~"

The Golden Toad's second strike came, making the pit even deeper.

"Boom~"

Inside, a violent explosion occurred, and countless demonic energy burst out.

"Rumble~"

The entire Nine Abysses Annihilation Formation trembled violently, and the faces in the sky became somewhat unstable.

"Not good!"

The two Six Realms demonic cultivators' faces simultaneously changed dramatically.

Lu Xun actually found one of their hidden formation bases.

This formation base was extremely hidden, located deep underground beneath a hundred-meter building.

Lu Xun, however, accurately found it.

"Didn't expect that, huh?"

A hint of a pleased curve quietly blossomed at the corner of Lu Xun's mouth.

This Nine Abysses Annihilation Formation is indeed formidable.

But who made formation techniques exactly Lu Xun's strongest field?

He is, after all, a Seventh-Rank Formation Master.

In the way of formations, he even surpasses his cultivation realm.

With the Nine Abysses Annihilation Formation operating at full power, finding its formation base is no simple task.
