Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

Blinding blood light illuminated all eight directions, dyeing the vault of heaven red; within the blood light, Huangpu Wushuang's figure resembled a twisted demon, waving tens of thousands of blood-drenched tentacles that entwined heaven and earth and lashed out at the spirit beasts in all four directions.

The spirit beasts roared, endless divine abilities pouring down like a storm, layer upon layer sweeping toward Huangpu Wushuang and colliding with those boundless blood-colored tentacles.

Boom—!

Storms stood like a forest; flames and floods descended alike, heavenly winds rolled vines that tangled and lingered, encircling and killing Huangpu Wushuang within the blood light, yet they collapsed beneath the nearly endless blood-colored tentacles.

The Dao patterns Huangpu Wushuang had comprehended were inherently rare and strange; whether blood Dao patterns, bone Dao patterns, or flesh Dao patterns, all were connected to his own body, and the Formation Dao he cultivated also differed from that of ordinary cultivators.

His formations took root in himself, using his own body as the foundation, permeating his flesh and blood; thus the formations resonated with his mind and intent, possessed spirituality, and in a certain sense the formations were an extension of his life.

Therefore the two complemented each other, and Huangpu Wushuang's physical strength had already reached an inconceivable degree under the amplification of the three Dao patterns; under such circumstances, sacrificing his own blood to trigger a formation eruption produced combat power that was astonishing, even surpassing Huangpu Dongming who possessed five Dao patterns.

However, although this move possessed peerless might, for Huangpu Wushuang it was also a move that injured his origin; one could say it killed a thousand enemies at the cost of eight hundred losses to himself.

But at this moment Huangpu Wushuang had no other choice; it was only because the pressure Yu Zhangsheng gave him was too intense that he deployed his strongest posture without the slightest hesitation — even if he could not kill Yu Zhangsheng, he sought to break the enemy and escape.

Five spirit beasts, plus the Five Elements Primordial Dao Patterns, in this Wu Dao Jie — aside from some veteran beings — Yu Zhangsheng could indeed run rampant.

But one must admit, facing Huangpu Wushuang who was now erupting with full power, even at the cost of injuring his origin, even Yu Zhangsheng had to treat him with gravity.

Thus he raised his brows slightly; Yu Zhangsheng looked at Huangpu Wushuang at the very center of the storm, his gaze flickering, and muttered softly: "A strange cultivator of the Formation Dao… this self-harming method — how long can you sustain it? Since that's the case, I'll add another layer of fire for you."

"The Formation Dao — although I am not skilled in it, I am not completely ignorant either…"

Yu Zhangsheng finished speaking, exhaled a deep breath of turbid Qi, abruptly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again a sharp light flashed in his pupils; his fingers shifted rapidly, casting one strange Dao Wen after another that enveloped the spirit beasts in the four directions.

"Spirit Beast… Five Extremes Array!"

Dao Wen became an ocean; as they enveloped the spirit beasts they reflected each other's radiance, erupting with boundless light; instantly the power of the Five Elements was drawn forth, linking with one another, forming a self-sustaining cycle, their might even more astonishing — like five sky-supporting giant beasts disturbing the void.

Instantly towering flames rushed straight into the clouds, the world-destroying flood surged even more violently, all-covering wood transformed into a heaven-net-earth-snare, the ceaseless wind grew even more violent, and the Purple Spirit Imperial Sword also trembled lightly at this moment; the sword chant sound pierced gold and split stone, dense sword Qi turned into a long rainbow, dazzling and eye-catching.

The formation, just as Yu Zhangsheng said, he was not proficient in; the only one he had mastered was merely the Spirit Beast Four Extremes Array; calling it a formation, it was actually more a divine ability of coordinated joint attack among spirit beasts.

Yet it also shared a subtle similarity with formations; and originally it was only the Spirit Beast Four Extremes Array, but with the inscription of the Five Elements Primordial Dao Patterns, Yu Zhangsheng's comprehension of the Five Elements had reached an astonishing level.

Thus, the original Spirit Beast Four Extremes Array, under Yu Zhangsheng's experimentation, for the first time transformed from Four Extremes into Five Extremes; the added extreme was naturally the Purple Spirit Imperial.

Although the Purple Spirit Imperial now served as the sword spirit of his Purple Spirit Imperial Sword, its essence as a spirit beast had not changed; moreover, some of its characteristics had been amplified and enhanced; held in Yu Zhangsheng's hand, it was perfectly suited as the array eye.

"It's just a pity… I don't have an Earth-attribute spirit beast, nor have I comprehended Earth-attribute Dao patterns… but it doesn't matter; what I have now is enough — it's just that the Golden-Winged Great Peng extreme appears somewhat weak by comparison…"

Yu Zhangsheng pondered inwardly, looking down at the four spirit beasts that had formed Four Extremes to encircle and kill Huangpu Wushuang, and nodded slightly.

Cai Xing Deer, Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon, Golden-Winged Great Peng, and Xuan Turtle occupied the four cardinal directions — east, west, south, north — and as they resonated with the Purple Spirit Imperial Sword in his hand, invisible Qi mechanisms linked them together; fifteen spirit beasts with distinct auras yet blended into one mass, striking the eight directions of heaven and earth; under their entanglement, five sky-piercing storms raged, and with the infusion of the Five Elements Primordial Dao Patterns their power rose another level — only the Golden-Winged Great Peng's side was slightly weaker.

And this was not the end; watching Yu Zhangsheng raise his brows again, his fingers shifting, he gently exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi; four beams of light shot from his fingertips, one merging into the Purple Spirit Imperial Sword and landing on the foreheads of Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon, Cai Xing Deer, and Xuan Turtle, forming brands.

"Five Elements Beast Law — Metal!"

"Five Elements Beast Law — Wood!"

"Five Elements Beast Law — Water!"

"Five Elements Beast Law — Fire!"

The Five Elements Beast Law was originally a technique Yu Zhangsheng obtained while still in the Qi Refining realm; it was a type of divine ability that amplified spirit beasts. Later, as the several strange beasts' realms rose, this law's amplification effect became unsatisfactory, unable to keep up with the version, so Yu Zhangsheng gradually forgot it.

But now, with the inscription of the Five Elements Primordial Dao Patterns, empowered by the Five Elements Dao Patterns and his deepened insight into the Five Elements, this law saw the light of day again, shedding its mortal body and exchanging its bones.

Thus, the several spirit beasts already at the peak of momentum all trembled at once; the power of heaven and earth and spiritual Qi surged in frantically once more, turning into all-covering storms that howled forth.

Wind and thunder assailed the ears; it seemed the might of world-destruction erupted at this moment — flames churned, floods scoured the land, violent winds roared while heaven-net-earth-snare enveloped heaven and earth, countless sword Qi sharp edges slashed the sky… a scene of apocalyptic natural disaster.

One could say that although this was within the Wu Dao Jie, the power erupted by these spirit beasts at this moment was indeed worthy of being called a small-scale natural disaster.

And the core of this natural disaster was Huangpu Wushuang.

At this moment Huangpu Wushuang's complexion was pale to the extreme; he swayed as if about to collapse, unable to conceal the weakness and exhaustion on his face; with every move he made, his ferocity retreated three parts compared to before.

"This guy — does he really intend to force me onto a dead end!"

"I am the Qingzhou Imperial Prince; all my life I have not been inferior to anyone; there is no reason I would lose to a person from a declined Wuzhou sect!"

Huangpu Wushuang felt bitter in his heart; gritting his teeth, the sky-full of blood-colored tentacles protected his body; amid destruction they collapsed, and amid collapse they regrew once more, cycling repeatedly; for a time he barely managed to endure.

And the price was Huangpu Wushuang's even weaker body; it was unknown how many mouthfuls of heart-blood he had sprayed into the void; his originally robust frame had actually withered in this short span; all his Qi, blood, and vitality… were being crazily consumed, fusing into the formation patterns to block the spirit beasts' endless attacks. Boom boom boom!!

Before long, Huangpu Dongming — already at the end of his strength — could not hold on under the endless onslaught; his withered body shook violently, and with the final spray of essence blood, the stun sensation in his eyes instantly turned into a great wave that completely submerged him.

"Crack crack…"

Countless tentacle formation patterns turned to flying ash; the next moment, the sky-full of attacks descended, and this time Huangpu Wushuang had no power to resist; a intense life-and-death crisis materialized at this moment; the Purple Spirit Imperial Sword trembled, and after a brief gathering of power, unleashed its final strike; instantly a sky-piercing, earth-penetrating giant long rainbow howled as it slammed into Huangpu Wushuang.

The sword Qi long rainbow carried endless sharpness; wherever it passed, space itself seemed to be torn; accompanied by waves of the fire sea, wind blades, and vines, they all locked onto Huangpu Wushuang, leaving him nowhere to dodge.

"Hua!!"

Space rippled; a ring-shaped cloud expanded in all directions; boundless shockwaves erupted; the Dao Guan already riddled with holes was instantly completely overturned; the sense of life-and-death crisis also reached its peak in Huangpu Wushuang's heart at this moment.

Huangpu Wushuang was horrified; his pupils violently dilated, watching the attack draw nearer and nearer; in panic he unleashed various divine abilities… however, they were all shattered by the rampaging sword light, unable to block even a thread, and were ruthlessly slashed onto Huangpu Wushuang's body! "Sizzle sizzle!!"

Fresh blood gushed out at this moment; boundless red light spread with Huangpu Wushuang at the center; one blood-colored true-stable tentacle after another twisted and collapsed, emitting silent roars, appearing incomparably eerie.

Sword light swept across, flames raged; ultimately this final resistance was merely a joke; killing intent took shape at this moment! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!

"Aaaaaah!!!!"

"Yu Zhangsheng!! You killed me, my Eldest Brother won't let you off, Yu Zhangsheng, you won't die a good death either!!"

Flesh and blood flew; Huangpu Wushuang let out a miserable roar from his mouth, voice hysterical, tone filled with madness and deep fear; in his already dust-covered eyes were endless resentment and despair.

Only this roar that had reached the extreme of misery grew smaller and smaller as Huangpu Wushuang's body blurred, and finally ceased completely.

Huangpu Wushuang's end needs no further elaboration; as the storm dispersed, Huangpu Wushuang's aura vanished completely; this ever-arrogant Seventh Prince, in the end, followed in Huangpu Dongming's footsteps.

"Huu…"

Seeing this, Yu Zhangsheng plopped down on the ground, wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead, and then the corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile.

"Huangpu Wushuang... this gets interesting. As for that Eldest Prince Huangpu Yuanji you mentioned, if he doesn't know what's good for him, he'll soon go down to keep you company."

Yu Zhangsheng chuckled lightly, glanced at Huangpu Wushuang's already blurry and unrecognizable broken corpse, and with a wave of his sleeve, both Huangpu Dongming's Storage Bag and their Storage Bags were simultaneously collected by Yu Zhangsheng.

"Wonder what these two princes' net worth will be like?"

Yu Zhangsheng licked his lips, hehe'd with a smile, but didn't rush to open the Storage Bags for a close look; both Storage Bags had corresponding Divine Sense Forbidden Restrictions, and in the Wu Dao Jie, Yu Zhangsheng's Divine Sense was also sealed, so naturally they couldn't be opened at this moment.

"However, just the two heads on their shoulders are enough for me to use."

Yu Zhangsheng hehe'd with a smile, his gaze bright; a single prince's Military Merit value wasn't low, and besides eliminating two such great scourges, it also made Yu Zhangsheng's mood involuntarily become even more pleasant.

After suppressing these messy thoughts, Yu Zhangsheng shook his head, then looked at his several Spirit Beasts.

Among the several Spirit Beasts, except for the Golden-Winged Great Peng, the remaining few were almost all still at peak state; in this Wu Dao Jie, with some Origin Dao Pattern blessings, Heaven and Earth Power surged in at all times, so for this group of Spirit Beasts, this battle's consumption wasn't great, merely mental Fatigue.

And this Fatigue, under these Spirit Beasts' continuous absorption of Dao resonance, slowly recovered to its original state, spirits a hundredfold! 【Feed Success Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon large amount of Dao resonance, Chi Lian Purgatory Dragon all aspects gain enhancement, gain Essence Points 10000!】

【Feed Success Cai Xing Deer large amount of Dao resonance, Cai Xing Deer all aspects gain enhancement, gain Essence Points 10000!】

【Feed Success Golden-Winged Great Peng large amount of Dao resonance, Golden-Winged Great Peng gains all aspects enhancement, gain Essence 10000!】

Pleasant Essence Points crediting sounds kept ringing out; at this moment the surrounding earth, pitted and hollowed with not a single intact spot, simultaneously had Dao Dao strange Dao Patterns jumping and floating.

The great battle between Yu Zhangsheng and the Huangpu brothers also dragged in a large number of Wuxu City living beings; merely the previous residual might's tremors were far beyond what they could resist, moreover Yu Zhangsheng also had no intention of letting them go, intentionally controlling the Battlefield to unfold among the crowds.

Thus, one Wuxu City living being after another died in succession, exploding the Origin Dao Patterns within their bodies, transforming into Yu Zhangsheng's Spirit Beasts' nutrients and Essence Points, crazily being absorbed.

As for Huangpu Wushuang and Huangpu Dongming's corpses, they also ultimately turned to ashes in the flames; they were like Yu Zhangsheng, true Wai Jie living beings, not this World's life, so dying naturally wouldn't explode Dao Patterns.

As for the Dao Patterns they themselves comprehended and engraved, they also simultaneously collapsed at the moment of their death; Body Dies Dao Vanishes, is precisely this.

"Next step, after the Five Elements Dao Patterns are engraved, it will be the Wind Dao Pattern..."

The several Spirit Beasts were like whales sucking water; along with the Dao resonance continuously being absorbed, Essence Points also once again rose with the tide; Yu Zhangsheng's mood was delighted, he glanced at the Golden-Winged Great Peng, and pondered in his heart.

Killing still bloomed, bleeding still sacrificed; the battle belonging to Han Cheng and Chen Wencai continued, the two continuously colliding and striking at the top of Tian Qiong, heaven-shaking muffled sounds resounded unceasingly, as if Muffled Thunder rolling, carrying Heaven and Earth Power, roaring continuously.

And below, in Wuxu City, the god of death descended upon the world, waving death's scythe; large swaths of living beings fell one after another; for a moment, wails and cries of terror became this city's final note, blood flowed into rivers, only one Dao Pattern after another burst open, like twinkling Xing Chen above the blood river, Shining, and then swallowed into the mouths by Yu Zhangsheng's several Spirit Beasts.
