Chapter 282: Formation Master, the God‑Slaying Demon‑Butcher Formation!

Shi Hu's body instantly fell from midair, smashing violently into the ground.

The impact literally gouged a huge deep pit out of the hard ground.

At that moment, Tian Ming's complexion darkened instantly.

He stared fixedly at Su Yu standing atop the peak, a faint shadow flickering in his brows.

"Su Yu…"

Tian Ming murmured, then a wave of jealousy spread across his face.

"Snort, this Su Yu actually managed to defeat Shi Hu, and he only possesses the Great Perfection of the Flying Heaven Realm; if he breaks through the Transcendent Realm, wouldn't he be comparable to late‑stage Star Ancestor Masters?"

One Sequence inhaled sharply, exclaiming in shock.

"I think it's very possible, and did you notice that Su Yu's Martial Technique seems to be a seventh‑level Martial Technique?"

Seventh‑level Martial Technique!

All the Sequences felt a sinking in their hearts.

The concept of a seventh‑level Martial Technique is that even as Sequences, without making huge contributions to the Qianlong Academy, they cannot obtain one.

Even a Bright Moon Grand Master might not possess a seventh‑level Martial Technique.

This shows how rare seventh‑level Martial Techniques are, and how terrifying their power.

"That's not right; ordinary seventh‑level Martial Techniques don't grant such terrifying augmentation. It must be a seventh‑level pinnacle Martial Technique—after all, a disciple of the Slay Dragon King, who could wield such a fearsome technique."

"Tsk tsk tsk, a seventh‑level pinnacle Martial Technique—Shi Hu's defeat is not undeserved!"

A Sequence smacked his lips, laughing as he said.

"However, don't forget. Su Yu's opponent is not just Shi Hu!"

"This Tian Ming fellow, though only at mid‑stage Star Ancestor Master level, is strong enough in combat power to match some late‑stage Star Ancestor Masters; I doubt Su Yu can win this battle!"

As those words fell, many Sequences flashed a knowing smile.

As Sequences, they naturally know their own strength, especially Tian Ming, who is the Ninth Sequence; although his realm is comparable to Shi Hu and Gu Yun.

But among the Heavenly Proud, realms cannot be the standard for measuring combat power!

Especially Tian Ming, who can suppress an entire Shi Hu!

Shi Hu fell to the ground, unable to struggle up for a long time.

Under the suppression of the Six‑fold Thunder Demon Slash, even Shi Hu's terrifying flesh suffered severe injuries.

After all, with a 64‑fold power boost, Su Yu's strength can rival the top mid‑stage Star Ancestor Masters.

Su Yu stood quietly atop the peak, the Blood‑Eater Demon Blade in his hand flashing with black blade aura, its sharp, domineering aura spanning heaven and earth.

As if it were about to cleave the entire space.

Su Yu's gaze fell on Tian Ming, a slight curl at the corner of his mouth.

Su Yu seemed to understand that even as a Sequence, one cannot firmly stand his ground without revealing some power.

This time the greed was sparked by the Energy Ore Vein; who knows what will happen later.

After all, Shi Hu and Tian Ming are only the Tenth and Ninth.

Behind them stand eight even more terrifying monsters.

To eliminate future trouble forever, Su Yu intends not to hold back.

Yet at the same time, a slight urgency rose in Su Yu's heart.

These Sequences have been students at the Qianlong Academy for several years; after countless resources accumulated, their cultivation far surpasses Su Yu's.

Facing someone like Shi Hu, Su Yu might be able to suppress him relying on his Great Perfection of the Flying Heaven Realm.

But later, if he faces late‑stage Star Ancestor Masters, or even the Heavenly Proud of the Bright Moon Grand Master,

Su Yu's current cultivation would then seem insufficient.

"Looks like we need to prepare to break through the Transcendent Realm!"

Su Yu murmured.

Breaking through the Transcendent Realm, Su Yu isn't too worried.

The Transcendent Realm is a process of converting Spiritual Qi into Grandmaster's Power; with enough resources, the conversion is easy.

The hardest part is the advancement of the soul‑spirit power.

However, relying on the Chaos Grind Disc Technique, Su Yu's soul‑spirit power has already advanced, so for him the Transcendent Realm is merely a matter of time and resources.

And now…

Su Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Tian Ming's slightly shadowed complexion.

"Let's deal with him together."

Tian Ming stood in place, idly twirling a jade stone in his hand, head lowered, his thoughts unknown.

After a moment, Tian Ming slowly lifted his head, a trace of gloom flashing in his eyes.

"After all, I'm still a disciple of the Slay Dragon King; with merely the Great Perfection of the Flying Heaven Realm, I can unleash such terrifying power, but…"

Tian Ming slowly walked toward Su Yu's Eleventh Peak.

With each step, an extremely potent wave radiated from Tian Ming, instantly spreading outward.

"However, I'm not a waste like Shi Hu; if you think that after defeating Shi Hu you can logically defeat me…"

"Then you would be gravely mistaken!"

Tian Ming's mouth twisted into a ferocious grin.

"I've said it: this peak today is mine!"

As the words fell, a terrifying aura burst from Tian Ming, streams of mighty Grandmaster's Power coiling around him like ferocious pythons.

Moreover, a tide‑like surge of soul‑spirit power centered on Tian Ming instantly spread.

The mid‑stage cultivation of a Star Ancestor Master was fully unleashed at that moment.

"Hiss! Look at Tian Ming's cultivation fluctuation—it's actually about to reach late Star Core; I'm afraid it won't be long before Tian Ming can assault late Star Core, and by then our positions will be perilous!"

"The aura bursting from Tian Ming caused some other Sequences to involuntarily change their expressions slightly, a solemn color appearing on their faces."

"Although Tian Ming is ranked ninth, most of the Sequences before him have only late Star Core cultivation."

"Within Qianlong Academy, only two people have cultivation reaching the Bright Moon Realm!"

"That is, the First Sequence and the Second Sequence of Qianlong!"

"The others are nothing more than late Star Core."

"Tian Ming's cultivation made this group feel a sense of impending danger."

"However, facing such a terrifying Tian Ming, Su Yu still stood quietly on the peak, as if unaware of anything."

"Tian Ming slowly arrived at the foot of Eleventh Peak and took a deep breath."

"His face showed an expression of intoxication."

"\"I have to say, the energy here is incredibly rich; if I could cultivate here, I would definitely break through within half a month! \""

"Tian Ming's face showed an expression of enjoyment."

"Afterward, Tian Ming slowly looked toward Su Yu on the peak and gave a slight smile."

"\"So... get down! \""

"Tian Ming let out a low roar, and an extremely terrifying palm, condensed from Grandmaster's Power, coalesced, wrapped in violent might."

"Intending to directly pull Su Yu down."

"This palm is entirely condensed from Tian Ming's Grandmaster's Power, not a Martial Technique."

"Yet even so, in terms of might, it has already surpassed Shi Hu's Dragon Fist from before."

"\"Hiss, Tian Ming has hidden himself so deeply; if it weren't for Su Yu's appearance this time, we wouldn't have known Tian Ming hid himself this deeply! \""

"Some Sequences, looking at Tian Ming's simple palm, showed a solemn expression."

"\"Yeah, I have to say, we still need to thank Su Yu. Although this battle, Su Yu will definitely lose, haha! \""

"Furthermore, some Sequences opened their mouths laughing."

"Boom—!!"

"A massive energy palm print coalesced between heaven and earth, then slammed toward Su Yu."

"Su Yu stood still in place, swinging his blade."

"\"Fivefold Thunder Demon Slash! \""

"Blade qi swept across the sky, instantly severing the palm print."

"Su Yu said lightly."

"\"If that's all you've got, then I'll take the title of Ninth Sequence! \""

"Such a casual tone concealed a sense of arrogance."

"Tian Ming gave a slight smile."

"\"As expected, I still can't underestimate you. \""

"\"As the Ninth Sequence of Qianlong Academy, do you know what my trump card is? \""

"Su Yu's eyebrows twitched slightly: \"Oh? What is it? \""

"Tian Ming no longer concealed it; surging aura continually emanated from his body."

"\"The two jade stones in my hand are my trump card, but since becoming a Sequence, no one has ever made me use the jade stones in my hand. \""

"\"Especially for those with lower cultivation than mine, you are the first. \""

"\"My jade stones: one released can suppress everyone of the same realm. \""

"\"Two released can kill enemies across realms! \""

"\"Today, you being able to make me use this also counts as you, Su Yu, having skill! \""

"Tian Ming said with a chuckle."

"Instantly, a jade stone was thrown out by Tian Ming."

"The jade stone, under the sunlight, shimmered with the luster of white jade."

"The next moment, the jade stone instantly disintegrated."

"Countless dense, tiny tadpole-like black inscriptions surged out instantly from the disintegrating jade stone."

"They directly enveloped the entire peak."

"A mysterious fluctuation spread throughout heaven and earth."

"\"This is... a formation! \""

"Some Sequences said in a deep voice."

"\"When Tian Ming walked the Inheritance Path earlier, although he didn't receive the First Principal's legacy, he did obtain some legacies from our Qianlong Academy seniors; however, we never knew what legacy Tian Ming had obtained. \""

"\"Now it seems he may have received the legacy of a formation master. \""

"Instantly, many Sequences' faces turned solemn."

"Formation Masters, an occupation from ancient times, can construct countless formations with a mere gesture."

"They can exterminate all things, and also nurture living beings."

"Su Yu's brows furrowed slightly as he gazed at the dense black inscriptions, sensing a hint of danger from within."

"As the inscriptions completely enveloped the entire peak, Tian Ming's mouth corners twitched upward; he formed seals with both hands, then suddenly pressed them into the void."

"\"First Layer Formation, Slay Gods and Demons Formation! \""

"A low shout echoed between heaven and earth."

"Suddenly, the shadows of ancient gods and demons seemed to appear between heaven and earth."

"Releasing supreme might!"
