Chapter 1335: with translation of chapter title

Everyone, hear my command, form the sword formation!

The voice fell, like thunder.

Numerous Lofty Heavens Sword Sect disciples began shifting constantly in the void; heaven and earth were like a chessboard, and they became the pieces, continually transforming; the spirit swords in their hands burst forth with the tremendous sound of a downpour.

"Hiss!"

Strands of sword qi shot up to the heavens, and on the Above the Void appeared a complex and obscure sword formation diagram.

Xiao Yue covered her mouth and exclaimed, "It's actually the Seven Stars Sword Formation!"

The Seven Stars Sword Formation is, within the Lofty Heavens Sword Sect, an extremely lethal sword formation; once unleashed, it can produce the phenomenon of Seven Stars Conjoined in heaven and earth, utterly terrifying!

Who would have thought they formed this formation just to deal with Yang Tianming alone!

Soon, many disciples seemed to turn into specks of starlight, faintly appearing on the Above the Void as the phenomenon of Seven Stars Conjoined.

This is exactly the Seven Stars Sword Formation!

Seven Stars Conjoined can unleash an extremely terrifying strike from the Lofty Heavens Sword Art!

Yang Tianming stood firm on the Above the Void, not retreating violently; instead, the spirit art in his hand shifted, continually driving the Ancient Pagoda.

"Boom!"

The Ancient Pagoda rose and fell above his head, its aura growing ever more archaic, surging with tremendous killing intent that likewise swept toward Elder Fang and the others.

Mighty momentum reaches the heavens, forcibly shaking the sword formation!

Elder Fang, situated at the core of the sword formation, had the vast stellar power on his body burning fiercely; this Seven Stars Sword Formation consumes greatly, so they can only activate two attacks!

He looked down, his voice filled with killing intent: "Yang Tianming, to die beneath the Seven Stars Sword Formation is no injustice; in this heaven and earth, too many wish you dead!"

Saying that, he swept his long sleeve, and the Seven Stars Sword Formation began to erupt with supreme killing intent.

"Hiss!"

Innumerable sword qi fell like a downpour upon Yang Tianming, as if ten thousand swords were unleashed; sword intent surged between heaven and earth, vast and mighty.

"Die!"

Elder Fang settled the matter with a single utterance, speaking a single word.

Seeing this, on the Observing Mystery Star, many powerful figures had their hearts leap to their throats, shouting, "Yang Tianming! Retreat quickly!"

And the Yang clan's people felt their scalps go numb.

Yang Tianming must not die!

He is the heaven of the Yang clan; if he dies, all the glory of the Yang clan will vanish.

Yet Yang Tianming ignored the cries, letting out a great roar as fierce flames ignited upon his body.

Burning lifespan!

His hair floated up, like a madman's, his eyes turned blood‑red, and he roared, "With my lifespan, I open the Great Prison! Little Pagoda, suppress them!"

In an instant, the Little Pagoda began frantically drawing the terrifying power from Yang Tianming's body; its body trembled incessantly, the Divine Light upon it blazing ever fiercer, erupting with a force that could overturn the seas, directly enveloping the heaven and earth where the Seven Stars Sword Formation stood.

The Little Pagoda was like a gluttonous maw, directly swallowing this portion of heaven and earth.

Heaven‑Earth Prison!

Terrifying as the Seven Stars Sword Formation was, it too was devoured!

Devour Heaven, Rend Earth!

"Hiss!"

The dense sword qi unleashed by the Lofty Heavens Sword Sect disciples, as well as the sword qi slashed down by the Seven Stars Sword Formation, were all devoured by the Little Pagoda, and the formation collapsed instantly.

Their bodies uncontrollably drifted toward the Little Pagoda, the spirit swords in their hands flying free and forming a torrent that rushed toward it.

This Little Pagoda intends to devour them as well!

Everyone became utterly horrified.

"Elder Fang, what is happening?"

"Save me! Save me……"

"What kind of heaven‑defying ancient treasure is this Little Pagoda?"

Elder Fang strode onto the Above the Void, dark light flickering on his body, as several nine‑turn gu worms and ten‑turn gu worms flew out, seeking to anchor his body firmly in the void to resist this terrifying suction!

But it was useless!

Yang Tianming's Little Pagoda can devour this portion of heaven and earth, let alone a mere fourth‑star Dao Lord!

Watching Lofty Heavens Sword Sect disciples one by one being dragged into the Little Pagoda's space, Elder Fang's eyes nearly burst, and he snarled, "Damn it! Yang Tianming obtained this ancient supreme treasure—how can it be so terrifying? I cannot accept it, I cannot accept it……"

But no matter how he struggled, he was eventually sucked into the Little Pagoda.

"Boom—! Boom—!"

The Little Pagoda's body sealed, swelling enormously like an overstuffed big fat person, from within came a crackling sound, as if it were refining those Lofty Heavens Sword Sect people.

After several breaths, the Little Pagoda flashed with dark light, shrank, and fell back before Yang Xuan, attaching to his waist and hovering there.

The Little Pagoda transmitted a voice: "Yang Tianming, I need time to refine; I will fall silent for now."

Yang Tianming nodded.

"Puff!"

In the next instant, Yang Tianming suddenly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, his body becoming extremely weak, staggering, nearly falling from the Above the Void.

Activating the Little Pagoda's terrifying killing move just now consumed too much!

He burned nearly ten thousand years of his lifespan!

This killing move stems from the Little Pagoda's internal terrifying Devouring Dao, forming a self‑contained "Great Prison" capable of devouring heaven and earth; just now, by paying the price of his lifespan, he dragged all the Lofty Heavens Sword Sect foes into the Great Prison to be refined.

"Yang Tianming! Are you alright?"

On the Observing Mystery Star, the great defensive formation shut down abruptly, and many powerful figures asked with worried faces.

Yang Tianming hastily waved his hand, "I'm fine."

He took out a bottle of wound-healing medicine, poured it all into his mouth, sat cross-legged on the spot, and began to heal.

The crowd watched from afar, not disturbing Yang Tianming.

"Interesting."

Chen Zhangsheng suddenly stroked his chin, staring intently at Yang Tianming.

Xiao Yue glanced at Chen Zhangsheng, not understanding the profundity in his words, and said angrily, "Of course it's interesting! Yang Tianming is a famous figure of the Cangyun Star Sea; the ancient inheritance he obtained, it is said, when cultivated to its peak, can make one the supreme power invincible in the Yaochi Star Domain!"

Ji Fuyao's beautiful eyes flickered, "Yaochi Star Domain?"

Xiao Yue explained, "Fuyao, the Yingzhao Star we are on, including the Xuanguan Star where we are now, are all within the Cangyun Star Sea. It is said that the shape of the Cangyun Star Sea, when viewed from afar, resembles a cloud."

"And the Cangyun Star Sea is merely one of the many star seas of the Yaochi Star Domain! The Yaochi Star Domain is said to be boundlessly vast; the power of my Changsheng Sect that governs it, the Yaochi Imperial Dynasty, is a hegemonic force among them."

Ji Fuyao's eyes rippled slightly, feeling somewhat shocked.

One must know that this butterfly world is far vaster than the World Tree; merely the Cangyun Star Sea is comparable to a star domain of the World Tree in size, let alone the Yaochi Star Domain!

At this moment, Xiao Yue stuck out her tongue, "But I am only a one-star Dao Jun realm cultivator, and I have never left the Cangyun Star Sea. Most of the time I cultivate on Yingzhao Star. However, I do know a major matter concerning Yang Tianming: he is the fiancé of Chi Yao Xianzi of the Yaochi Imperial Dynasty!"
