Chapter 255: One Cannot Escape, Eyes Popping in Shock
It's just luck, Bai Lao Guai, what are you panicking about? One formation base is no big deal.
The Six Realms demon cultivator on the Myriad Soul Banner remains calm.
He is still frantically absorbing the souls in Rong Cheng.
Another Six Realms demon cultivator, namely Bai Lao Guai, forced himself to calm down.
There's no choice but to stay calm.
Lu Xun is too terrifying; he dare not go out to fight Lu Xun.
Even though his strength is mid Six Realms, Lu Xun actually killed two Six Realms cultivators, which really frightened him.
Six Realms cultivators aren't that easy to kill.
In Lu Xun's hands, it's as easy as chopping vegetables.
How can we fight this?
Fang Lao Guai, we need to be faster.
He urged.
I know.
Fang Lao Guai said.
He is the strongest among the four Six Realms demon cultivators, with cultivation at late Six Realms.
This Myriad Soul Banner actually doesn't belong to him; it belongs to the demon cultivator who tried to possess Lu Xun.
Only because his cultivation is the strongest did that demon cultivator hand over the Myriad Soul Banner for him to preside over.
Fang Lao Guai began to frantically absorb the souls in Rong Cheng even more intensely.
Bai Lao Guai kept his attention on Lu Xun the whole time.
Oh no, he's heading toward another formation base again!
Immediately, he panicked.
The place Lu Xun went to turned out to be another hidden formation base.
This formation base is located at the bottom of a park's lake, and its support for the Nine Abyss Annihilation Array is conducted through the earth veins.
These demon cultivators have operated in Rong Cheng for many years, hiding the formation bases in places that are clearly visible yet hard to notice.
That formation base is so hidden; he couldn't possibly have found it—it was just a coincidence.
Fang Lao Guai was actually a little panicked, but he forced himself to stay calm and comforted his companions.
As soon as his words fell, they saw Lu Xun raise his hand and unleash a huge number of fireballs.
Boom—boom—boom—boom—boom~
The fireballs fell, blowing the park sky-high.
In a short time, the park completely disappeared, turning into a bottomless pit.
Boom~
More fireballs fell, blasting the hidden underground formation base into countless fragments.
The second formation base was destroyed, and the Nine Abyss Annihilation Array trembled again.
For such a grand array, there are many formation bases, but if too many are destroyed, even without destroying the array core, the grand array won't last long.
Oh no!
The two Six Realms demon cultivators both felt a "thump" in their hearts.
Ribbit~
At the same time, elsewhere, Xiao Jin, after sucking the people out of a building, then delivered a downward tongue strike that shattered the building.
Immediately after, Xiao Jin's tongue struck repeatedly, and before landing, it forcibly punched a deep pit into the ground.
The formation base hidden below was destroyed again.
How did he find it!!!
Now, the two Six Realms demon cultivators are no longer calm.
One is more panicked than the other.
Let's flee now; there's still time.
Bai Lao Guai had thoughts of retreating.
Now outside, Seven Realms beings have mostly come; if we go out now we can't escape. Damn it, the Demon Race isn't exerting any effort—we can only force open the Nine Abyss Passage and go to the Demon Race's hiding place.
Fang Lao Guai said in a deep voice.
The Demon Race did not participate in their operation this time.
For those demon cultivators who want to join the Demon Race, the Demon Race naturally holds a welcoming attitude.
But before these demon cultivators enter the Demon Star, the Demon Race requires them to accomplish some tasks, and while they are doing those tasks, the Demon Race will not cooperate with them.
This amounts to a kind of test.
Only those with ability are qualified to join the Demon Race.
After they finish their tasks, they can go meet the powerful ones of the Demon Race hidden on Lan Xing, then return to the Demon Star through a spatial rift.
Such a spatial rift can only stay open for a limited time each time it is opened; it cannot be kept open permanently.
It requires two Spirit Stars to be within the Ancient Road Node, not too far apart, in order to open.
At the same time, an anchor point is also needed.
That is, there are Demon Race people on this side cooperating.
Now, seeing Lu Xun consecutively destroy three formation bases, if this continues the Nine Abyss Annihilation Array won't hold much longer, and those two Six Realms demon cultivators both want to leave.
After Fang Lao Guai's words fell, he continued absorbing souls on one hand while casting hand signs with the other, aiming to open the Nine Abyss Passage via the Nine Abyss Annihilation Array to enter the Demon Race's hiding place.
Their losses this time are enormous.
However, from their perspective, the gain was not bad.
In a short time, they obtained several hundred thousand souls.
If things went smoothly, before fleeing they could obtain a million souls.
Although the harvest was much smaller than expected, just being able to survive was the biggest gain.
Who let them encounter Lu Xun, a completely unreasonable monster.
"Boom!"
Another formation base was destroyed by Lu Xun.
This was the fourth one.
While Lu Xun destroyed this formation base, the Golden Toad also destroyed a new formation base on the other side.
After five formation bases were destroyed, the power of the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation further weakened.
The function of these formation bases is mainly to provide energy to the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation.
"Hurry up!"
Fang Lao Guai was extremely anxious.
"How come we're here?"
On the other side, Lu Xun flew above the Heroes' Mausoleum.
His brows furrowed.
These demonic cultivators actually hid a formation base underground in the Heroes' Split Mausoleum.
The scale of this formation base is not small.
This is the place he has come to every year since he was young.
His parents are also buried here.
Having Lu Xun destroy this place, he felt somewhat reluctant.
"Enough!"
Lu Xun turned and left.
After destroying five formation bases, it was enough.
He quickly flew toward the location of the formation eye.
"He's here, he's here!"
Fang Lao Guai was panicking.
A venerable Six Realms expert, yet he panicked like a child.
No wonder, look, even Bai Lao Guai beside him is also flustered.
"What's there to fear, he can't get in anyway."
Bai Lao Guai comforted.
In the midst of speaking, Lu Xun had already approached.
"Break it for me!"
He drew his sword and slashed.
"Boom~"
While attacking with sword qi, Lu Xun also released Phoenix True Flame and Southern Ming Separation Fire.
The two flames intertwined, forming a huge Taiji Diagram that frenziedly burned around the location of the formation eye.
That terrifying temperature caused the surrounding buildings to melt one after another.
The yin chill that the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation had brought to the entire Rong Cheng was completely dispelled thereby.
"Extinction-level Sword Intent!"
"God's Left Hand!"
"Thunder God's Wrath!"
"Dimensional Slash!"
Lu Xun's attack instantly reached saturation.
All means were employed.
No way, the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation is a bit too formidable; only a saturation-style attack can cause it to show a flaw.
The principle is simple.
The function of these several formation bases is to provide energy support to the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation.
After these formation bases were destroyed in succession, Lu Xun's attack power instantly exploded, preventing the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation from replenishing its energy in time.
Originally, several formation bases were there, equivalent to the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation having several pipelines simultaneously supplying energy.
Now, with a few fewer, it might not be able to keep up with replenishment.
One water pipe supplying water versus six water pipes supplying water—can they be the same?
Even if this doesn't break it, Lu Xun still has other methods.
He still has an eighth-grade attack talisman in his hand, enough to shake the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation.
Just a single shake is enough.
With his attainments in formation arts, he can take advantage of the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation's brief flaw to enter the location of the formation eye.
By then, it will be the doom of those two Six Realms demonic cultivators.
Then one could see that, after Lu Xun's wave of eruption, the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation violently trembled.
Especially Lu Xun's Dimensional Slash inflicted massive damage on the location of the formation eye.
"Now is the time!"
Lu Xun spotted the flaw, shifted his form, and appeared before the two Six Realms demon cultivators.
"He's here!"
"Not good!"
The two Six Realms demon cultivators were greatly alarmed.
"Die!"
White Old Monster released an extremely terrifying vengeful spirit.
This vengeful spirit's strength reached the peak of the Six Realms; ordinary Six Realms cultivators are no match for it.
Besides the Six Realms vengeful spirit, a large number of vengeful spirits from the Myriad Soul Banner were also released.
These vengeful spirits shrieked as they rushed toward Lu Xun.
Fang Old Monster, meanwhile, immediately released a swarm of demon cicadas.
"Blood Shadow Escape!"
White Old Monster activated an escape technique, directly exiting the formation's eye, hoping to use the vengeful spirits and demon cicadas to buy time to flee.
Fang Old Monster was also fleeing.
Lu Xun's expression unchanged, he used a spell to immobilize the peak Six Realms vengeful spirit, then raised the Southern Ming Separation Fire, encircling it.
Immediately after, he boldly pursued and attacked.
The immobilization spell was again cast by Lu Xun.
"It's over."
Fang Old Monster was immobilized.
"Blood-Burning Devil Technique!"
He immediately activated a Blood-Burning Devil Technique, but it was too late.
A sky-filling attack engulfed him.
Another Six Realms demon cultivator was slain.
"Yin Demon Phantom Form!"
Having used Blood Shadow Escape, White Old Monster, in alarm, split into several illusory forms that were hard to distinguish as real or fake, each fleeing in different directions.
"Don't let him get away!"
The President noticed the commotion here and rushed over to help.
He never expected that Lu Xun would actually break the Nine Nether Annihilation Formation.
No, it's not that he broke the formation; rather, he found a way to enter the formation's eye and solve the problem at its source.
This naturally made the President overjoyed.
Originally, this was a major dereliction of duty on his part.
If the tens of thousands of people in Rong Cheng were really killed, even if he survived, his life would be ruined.
Just this guilt alone would make him uneasy for the rest of his life.
As a result, thanks to Lu Xun, the situation was completely turned around.
If we could capture all these demon cultivators in one sweep, it would be a great achievement.
Of course, this credit surely belongs to Lu Xun.
But being able to save the hundreds of thousands of people in Rong Cheng means he need not feel guilty for life; to him, that is naturally a great joy.
"Ahhh, when did you set up this formation!"
"Guess!"
On the other side.
Even White Old Monster using the Yin Demon Phantom Form couldn't escape.
The Yin Demon Phantom Form is a very powerful secret technique.
When deployed, it can split into several phantom forms.
The impressive part is that, as long as the phantom forms stay within a hundred li of each other, his true body can switch between them at any time.
If it exceeds a hundred li, he would surely have escaped.
This life-saving secret technique gave White Old Monster enough confidence to flee.
But who would have thought that Lu Xun had actually set up a formation in the surroundings beforehand.
He had no idea when Lu Xun had placed it.
This formation is also quite simple—just a trapping formation.
Since Lu Xun lacked powerful formation tools, breaking this trapping formation is actually not difficult for him.
But it still requires time.
Lu Xun had already pursued and was eliminating his phantom forms one by one.
Soon he was reduced to only his true body.
"Soul-Devouring Devil Sound!"
White Old Monster wanted to fight desperately.
"Hmph!"
Lu Xun's will was as firm as iron, and he directly shattered it.
"Soul-Burning Grand Method!"
White Old Monster intended to use a secret technique to fight for his life.
At the same time, he threw out several demon talismans.
Their trump cards are actually few, but some demonic sect secret techniques are quite potent.
But his plan came to nothing; after Lu Xun countered his many methods, he decisively used the Immobilizing Spell, giving him a swift end.
Ah...
In the flames of the Southern Ming Separation Fire, Bai Lao Guai's Nascent Soul was burned to ashes.
Thus, none of the four Six Realms demonic cultivators who had emerged this time could escape; they were all slain by Lu Xun.
"All killed!"
In the distance, the President of Rong Cheng, who had rushed over, took a deep breath.
Beside him, Chief Wang and the others stared wide-eyed, their eyes nearly popping out.
The situation just now was too perilous, the battle fierce, and they had no mind to be shocked.
Only after the crisis was basically resolved did they realize what had actually happened.
Six Realms!
Four Six Realms cultivators, and Lu Xun single-handedly dealt with all of them.
Heaven!
Even the President, who is well-informed and experienced and has seen countless geniuses, was deeply shaken at this moment.
