Chapter 471: Ancient Killing Formation, Activation

Even though only one remains, the pressure on Shouzheng is actually greater than when we faced five people before!

Because Wu Wang is a true giant of body cultivation, his attacks are massive and open, purely breaking finesse with force, which most suppresses Shouzheng's style that relies on laws and formations.

The battle erupts again!

Yaochi Holy Lord and Thunder Emperor Ancestor turned into two streams of light, one left and one right, flanking Gu Yuan's clone, attempting to seal that drop of Yuan Du in the safest way.

The Supreme Immortal King, Demon Lord, and Buddha Lord fought together with Ba Zhang Lao, battling so fiercely that heaven and earth shattered and day and night lost their light.

The entire Di Wu Ceng turned completely into a battlefield of deities fighting like a carnage arena.

And at the center of this chaos.

The corner of Gu Yuan's true self's mouth slowly curved into a triumphant smile.

In his sea of knowledge, all information about Songtian Hall has been fully digested by him.

That bronze Compass has already formed the deepest connection with his divine soul.

"Done."

He gently uttered two words.

From this moment on, this shattered Ancient Celestial Court ruin, together with all the treasures within that he hasn't yet acquired for free, will be completely claimed by Gu.

However, before that, he must find a way to leave.

"Then, before making a run for it, let's pull off one more big job."

Gu Yuan's true self lifted his head, gazing at the eight giant-level beings battling fiercely in the sky, a flash of madness passing through his eyes.

A thought flickered in his mind.

The divine soul linked to Songtian Hall's control hub issued a command.

"Songtian Hall, from the first to the fourth layer, all unactivated... Ancient Killing Formations, activate fully!"

"Target: lock onto those seven guys in the sky!"

"Give them a little extra flair!"

Boom—boom—boom—!!!

The moment Gu Yuan's true self gave the order, the entire Songtian Hall ruins, from the first to the fourth layer, began to shake violently.

This shaking is no longer the passive tremor caused by the giants' clash, but an active awakening filled with a destructive aura!

On the first layer, the land that Gu Yuan had plundered clean and turned into a desert, the once-dim ancient array patterns suddenly burst forth with glaring blood‑red light.

Countless killing runes shot up from the ground, intertwining in midair to form a blood‑red sky canopy spanning tens of thousands of miles.

Below the canopy, countless golden sword auras, forged from pure Geng metal killing qi, materialized out of nowhere, their tips all pointing toward the Di Wu Ceng spatial fissure!

Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect Slaying Immortal Formation, activate!

On the second layer, at the original site of the hollowed ten‑thousand‑foot white jade stele, the void twisted, and an ancient Thunder God illusory shadow, ten thousand feet tall and wielding a world‑splitting axe, slowly coalesced.

His eyes were two rotating thunder vortices, surrounded by chaotic divine thunder capable of erasing true immortals!

All‑Heaven Divine Thunder World‑Ending Formation, activate!

On the third layer, in the training ground where the sixteen Tongtian vines stand, sixteen illusory shadows of Heavenly Court heroic spirits reappeared.

But this time, they no longer fought individually; their auras linked, forming an incomprehensibly profound battle array in midair.

Sixteen Celestial Gang Execution God Formation, activate!

On the fourth layer, the original site of the Transmission Hall that Gu Yuan had packed away, and the base of the Geng Metal Immortal Abyss stripped of its celestial marrow, both lit up with two completely different glows.

One side was the Shadow of the Azure Dragon, the other the Form of the Vermilion Bird!

They resonated from afar with the White Tiger Secret Key taken earlier by Gu Yuan's clone, and the Black Tortoise Secret Key obtained by Wind Spirit Rhythm!

Four Symbols Lethal Great Formation, activate!

These four Ancient Killing Formations were the Ancient Celestial Court's final trump cards for guarding the core area, each possessing terrifying power capable of threatening the giant Immortal Kings.

They had lain dormant for countless eras, long forgotten by the world.

But now, under the will of Songtian Hall's new master Gu Yuan, they awaken together, directing their cold, ruthless killing intent toward the seven giant Shouzheng leaders in the Heavenly Dome!

"Not good! There's an ambush!"

Above the Heavenly Dome, the Supreme Immortal King, locked in a grapple with Ba Zhang Lao, was the first to sense something amiss.

His divine thought, comparable to the Heavenly Dao, instantly perceived four distinct lethal threats emanating from below.

"It's a leftover move from the Celestial Court! This world is attacking us!"

Thunder Emperor Ancestor let out a startled, angry roar; he could feel the second‑layer awakening All‑Heaven Divine Thunder World‑Ending Formation, sharing the same origin as his own thunder arts, yet its destructive power was older and purer than his.

"What's happening?! Isn't Songtian Hall already on the verge of collapse? How does it still wield such terrifying power?!" Yaochi Holy Lord's voice was filled with panic.

Ba Zhang Lao and Shouzheng also showed a drastic change in expression.

"New master! Did you do this?!" Shouzheng shouted in shock.

Although he handed the control hub to Gu Yuan, he hadn't expected Gu Yuan to activate all these bottom‑drawer Killing Formations, which even he could not easily trigger, in such a short time!

Ba Zhang Lao's heart roiled with a storm of astonishment.

He stared fixedly at the Gu Yuan clone below, holding the Yuan Du, his face blank, astonished inside.

"This kid... also hid such tactics?!"

He subconsciously thought all this was a trick made by Gu Yuan's clone.

The Gu Yuan clone, cooperating perfectly, looked up at the four formation shadows projected from the lower space, his face showing just the right mix of shock and anger.

"Who? Who's stealing my opportunity?! Who's snatching my Songtian Hall?!"

He looked up to the sky and let out an unwilling roar, a voice full of the resentment of having his peach plucked away.

This roar instantly left the seven giants in the sky stunned.

Wasn't it him who did it?

Then who was it?!

Could it be that, within this Sending Heaven Hall, aside from them, aside from the lost souls of the Celestial Court, aside from the madmen of Zang Tian Ge, there lies hidden…… a fourth faction?!

One who, from beginning to end, toyed with everyone in the palm of his hand, only revealing his fangs at the final moment…… the Ultimate Fisherman?!

This thought made the seven titan immortal kings all feel a sudden chill.

However, Gu Yuan did not give them much time to think.

Kill!

His icy will, through the control hub, was transmitted to the cores of the four killing formations.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four heaven‑shaking, earth‑rumbling booms simultaneously echoed from the lower four levels of the Sending Heaven Hall.

Myriad Geng‑metal sword qi transformed into a golden torrent piercing heaven and earth, surging upward from the first level!

That ten‑thousand‑zhang thunder deity wielded a heaven‑opening giant axe, carrying world‑destroying lightning, and burst forth from the second level!

A battle formation of sixteen Celestial Court heroic spirits transformed into an invincible silver spear, piercing the void from the third level!

The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise — the illusory forms of the Four Sacred Beasts — roared as they surged up from the fourth level, evolving into a domain capable of annihilating heaven and earth!

Four attacks terrifying enough to annihilate a star domain, at the same moment crossing spatial barriers and slamming with pinpoint accuracy into the seven titans locked in melee atop the fifth level, Heavenly Dome.
