Chapter 271: The Dizu Huangzun Emerges, the World Trembles in Fear

Zhongyuan Continent, on the border of the Central Region, the circular valley leading to the Difu.

The Dizu Huangzun's army, stretching beyond sight, tightly surrounded the entire valley, with countless Array Patterns—using Heavenly Soldiers as the smallest unit—linking together to form medium-sized Array Patterns.

These medium-sized Array Patterns were also nested within one another, combining into large-scale Array Patterns.

Finally, all the large-scale Array Patterns were connected in series, forming eight super-large-scale formations.

The Imperial Tutor and seven Saint Lord-level entities were positioned at various points around the valley entrance, their Qi connected to form an eight-in-one formation, combined with the million-strong army behind each of them.

Everyone held weapons, and a cold, murderous aura whistled across the plains surrounding the valley.

Outside this ring of super-large-scale joint formations, which resembled a Bagua, tens of thousands of rays of immortal light rose up.

Each ray of immortal light represented a True Immortal-level expert, among whom there were no fewer than thirty Saint Lord-level entities.

All of them were Saint Lords from within the Central Region who were on good terms with the Dizu Huangzun, or were simply vassal immortal sects.

More than thirty End Realm Saint Lords, along with over three hundred Half-step Saint Lord-level entities, each stood within a small Array Pattern, surrounded by multiple True Immortals channeling energy.

A total of three hundred and sixty-five formations were located at various points on the plains, resonating faintly with the star patterns in the night sky.

Further away, outside the Central Region, the Xianjun and Saint Lords of the four great regions were all watching this place.

There was no helping it; the Dizu Huangzun's move this time was too massive, shocking everyone.

It was also the first time they had truly realized just how deep the foundation of the Dizu Huangzun was, as the sole hegemon of the Central Region for a million years.

At this moment, everyone was watching this place nervously; they naturally recognized that valley, as it was the passage to the Difu, known as Earth Valley.

What exactly could make the Dizu Huangzun act in such a way?

Mobilizing so much manpower and material resources, it could almost be called a war of national survival; was the Dizu Huangzun truly not afraid of declining because of this? And with such a grand formation, why was the Dizu Huangzun not seen? At the Guanxing Tai of Linglong Daotu, Linglong Xianjun changed into a Dao robe and performed a divination, but only saw a mass of fog.

Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a rare trace of worry appeared in her eyes.

The Zhoutian Xingdou Formation and the Fuxi Bagua Formation were both Heavenly Formations that only an Array Dao Sect Saint could deploy.

Although the two great formations laid out by the Dizu Huangzun at this moment were at most semi-finished products due to the lack of an Array Dao Sect Saint to control them.

But likewise, when an Array Dao Sect Saint deployed Heavenly Formations of this level, they did not have so many immortal-path existences serving as expendable materials.

With her realm as an Array Dao Sect Saint, she could naturally see that although the two great formations were not yet activated, merely maintaining them was a massive drain.

What exactly was the Dizu Huangzun willing to pay such a price for? Whoosh~~~ Moonlight descended like a silver river, turning into a vortex as it flowed past Linglong Xianjun.

"Linglong, are you going? I have already set up the Moon Born Jade Cinnamon Array within the sect."

Taiyin Xianjun's cold voice spread out, the surrounding space shattering, then being frozen by cold Yin Qi.

"You have already condensed the Immortal King Body?" Linglong Xianjun asked.

"I am only a hair's breadth away; the Immortal King Body is not so easily condensed."

Taiyin Xianjun's voice came from the vortex; after finishing, she seemed to realize something, paused for a moment, and then continued speaking.

"Go or not? The Dizu Huangzun has set up such a grand formation at Earth Valley; I don't know what kind of monster that level of formation is meant to deal with. If it fails, no one on the entire continent will be spared."

Hearing this, Linglong Xianjun did not speak, but performed the divination again; a drop of her heart-blood fell onto the compass, and her eyes were swallowed by endless Nether Qi.

"Puff!"

A mouthful of immortal blood sprayed out, her figure staggered slightly, and she struggled to steady herself.

"What is going on? What are you doing?!" Taiyin Xianjun's cold voice came out, yet it carried a hint of worry.

Linglong Xianjun took out an immortal pill and swallowed it, adjusting her breath for a moment, "I am fine. Let's go! Meet at Lotus Mountain! Bring the Star Core, I will help you condense the Immortal King Body!"

"Good! I will wait for you!"

The silver vortex dissipated; Linglong Xianjun put down the compass, and as soon as she turned, she couldn't help but spray another mouthful of blood, only stabilizing after swallowing several immortal pills.

Walking out of the Star Gazing Pavilion, Yuanyang Shengzhu had been waiting for a long time, "Master, the Linglong Daluo Array has locked onto Earth Valley."

"Good, do not act for now, wait for my command."

Having said that, Linglong Xianjun did not linger and flew directly away from Linglong Daotu.

Luotian Pavilion

"Dao Lord, the Luo Tian Nine Derivations Array and the Xingluo Yitian Formation have been fully deployed." Nong Yan Dao Soil "Valley Master, the Medicine King Venerable has been awakened and can set out at any time!"

At Earth Valley, the Imperial Tutor held the Slaughter Spirit Sword and suddenly opened his eyes.

"It's here!"

As soon as the words fell, a seven-colored immortal light pierced through the vortex, dyeing the night sky in seven colors.

The Imperial Tutor's face showed shock, "It is His Majesty's aura! No! Seven-colored immortal light! It is an Immortal King! His Majesty has attained the Dao of an Immortal King!"

The shocked voice spread in all directions, and all the soldiers guarding here showed fanaticism.

"Wind! Wind! Great Wind!"

The sonorous roar shook the heavens and earth, and everyone watching this place stood frozen in place.

On Lotus Mountain, Taiyin Xianjun, who was sitting cross-legged on the summit, suddenly took a deep breath, almost interrupting the process of condensing the Immortal King Body.

"Calm your Qi!" Linglong Xianjun scolded, pressing down with six-colored divine light in her hand to soothe Taiyin Xianjun's aura.

"Linglong! Xiong Laosi has become an Immortal King! An Immortal King!" Taiyin Xianjun said in shock.

That was an Immortal King! How many years had it been since an Immortal King had appeared!

"Didn't he used to be unable to beat you? How is he faster than you?"

"Shut up! Hurry and condense the Immortal King Body! The Dizu Huangzun has not become an Immortal King!" Linglong Xianjun was somewhat angry and anxious.

Taiyin Xianjun gave a start, not daring to say more, and concentrated on condensing the Immortal King Body with all her might.

At Earth Valley, the Imperial Tutor and others were about to welcome the Dizu Huangzun.

The next moment, a figure crashed through the valley vortex, shattering the clouds above Earth Valley in the blink of an eye, drawing a beautiful seven-colored rainbow in the night sky.

Before the Imperial Tutor and the others could react, a terrifying, rotting giant hand reached out from the valley vortex, grabbing toward the flying Dizu Huangzun.

"Not good! Quickly! Fuxi Bagua Formation! Xun Wind!"

The Imperial Tutor raised his sword, cyan airflow surged, swirling into a giant hand that pressed down from above, colliding with that rotting giant hand.

Hum~~~ A harsh, piercing hum rippled outward, and a layer of protective cover rose above the eight great arrays, trembling as if it were about to shatter at any moment.

Dishi's expression changed abruptly, "An Immortal King-level existence! Separation Fire Cover!"

The sword edge shifted, and the crimson flames transformed into nine dragon shapes, circling as they suppressed downward.

Bang! Another giant rotting hand broke through the Valley vortex, waving fiercely and directly overturning the Li Fire Cover.

"Qiankun Change, Li-Zhen!"

Dishi shouted loudly, and the Slaughter Spirit Sword in his hand shattered in an instant; a dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the Separation Fire Cover and carrying the raging Separation Fire as it killed toward the rotting giant hand.

Boom—! The violent lightning smashed into the giant hand, instantly blasting the rotting flesh into fly ash, while the crimson Li Fire landed on the giant hand, the tyrannical flames scorching the White Bone.

Woo~~~ A horn sound of unknown origin rang out; the five fingers of the White Bone giant hand opened and closed, dispersing all the Li Fire, and continued to reach toward the place where Dizu Huangzun had fallen.

"Pfft—!"

Dishi spat out a mouthful of blood, looking in disbelief at the pair of giant hands rising up.

Is, is this the power of an Immortal King?

As those giant hands extended, a disheveled, rotting head also rose from the Valley vortex.

The terrifying pressure descended like the might of heaven, causing everyone to feel fear in their hearts.

"Big Brother! Eight Directions Absolute Annihilation Sword!"

An old general clad in battle armor roared from across from him.

Dishi suddenly snapped back to his senses, pointing his fingers to form a sword; in an instant, his energy connected with the eight great arrays, and heaven-shocking sword intent burst forth, causing Dishi's legs to be snapped directly by the pressure.

This sword strike was the desperate blow of eight million soldiers! Dong! Just as his sword strike was about to fall, the Valley vortex was shattered with a bang.

A massive white-gold palm carrying terrifying Nether Qi reached out, directly grabbing hold of that rotting head, its terrifying power dragging it backward.
