Chapter 194: with translation of chapter title

Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation, open!

In a thunderous boom, within a radius of nearly a thousand li centered on the main hall of the Tianluo Palace, endless brilliant formation patterns surged up from deep within the earth, shooting toward the firmament above; mysterious lines condensed into countless pillars of light, sealing off this realm.

Radiant divine splendor pierced the earth, thick and dense; the Tianluo mountain range was directly illuminated, like a great sun over the earth, continuously, and mysterious Dao patterns continuously unfurled.

Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Wind, Water, Fire, Mountain, Marsh!

Layer upon layer of formation patterns, like ripples, centered on the Tianluo mountain range, gathered the momentum of heaven and earth, and began to reveal killing intent.

Any and all living beings within a thousand-li radius felt a powerful suppression!

In an instant, the people of Tianluo Prefecture all cried out in alarm.

"When did the Tianluo Palace actually lay down such a terrifying formation!"

Many of the strong warriors watching the battle felt as if mired in a swamp, their speed to traverse the void continually slowing.

Everyone was terrified beyond measure!

What kind of formation is this?

Even Emperor-realm experts were suppressed!

On the ground, the cultivators of the Tianluo Palace emitted streams of black qi from their bodies; their meridians were burning, as the formation continually siphoned their inner strength!

The might of the Heaven-Reaching Grand Formation was unstoppable, completely locking onto the power of all living beings.

Above the Void, even a three-star Great Emperor was sealed!

Numerous low-star Great Emperors cursed aloud.

Damned Duan Hunsheng, he even factored them into his calculations!

They had merely come to watch the battle, yet they too were to be imprisoned by this Heaven-Reaching Grand Formation and have their strength siphoned!

Someone pointed at the many emperors of the Tianluo Palace; they had already been drained into husks, looking horribly terrifying.

The crowd shouted, "Run fast! Duan Hunsheng this bastard has gone mad! Even the emperors of the Tianluo Palace are to be sacrificed, and we too will be devoured by this all-encompassing formation!"

Above the firmament, numerous spirit ships flashed with brilliant divine radiance, shooting outward.

"Boom boom boom!"

Tianluo Prefecture fell into great chaos!

A gray-robed old man, his face icy cold, perceived the subtlety within; he slowly opened his mouth, his voice like a great bell, echoing through the void.

"Duan Hunsheng actually laid down such a vicious Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation in Tianluo Prefecture! Nine Heavens Devouring Heaven will stir the momentum of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers, turning Tianluo Prefecture into a terrifying true dragon blood-soaked terrain!"

"Run! If we don't leave now, this true dragon blood-soaked 'momentum' will devour us all!"

The voice fell!

All the strong ones in Tianluo Prefecture were stunned!

True dragon blood-soaked terrain!

Is this not something that only exists in ancient lost perilous lands, or perhaps in a few forbidden zones of Nan Huang?

This must be the work of the Severance Extinction Sect!

Someone cried out in alarm, "Quick look, Tianluo Prefecture's thousand-li domain, nine earth dragons rise up, nine dragons guard and lift up the Tianluo mountain range!"

Everyone fled while watching this terrifying scene.

This is Duan Hunsheng's handiwork, seizing the creation of heaven and earth, producing changes in heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers, forcibly condensing the momentum of mountains and rivers to boost his own power!

Soon.

Several hidden experts from the alien races, demon tribe, and human nine-star Great Emperors took action, bringing many cultivators out of the formation's range.

These supremely powerful emperors had grim faces, "Just how strong is this white-robed emperor? He actually forced Duan Hunsheng to play his ultimate trump card!"

Everyone's scalp went numb.

No one expected this white-robed emperor to be so terrifying!

And at this moment.

In the subterranean world, Duan Hunsheng's skull had already taken the form of the Extinction Old Man, like a mountain peak, looking down on Lu Xuan, he spoke lightly.

"I didn't expect a few nine-star Great Emperors to intervene; otherwise I could have drawn more power from living beings! But dealing with you, this is enough!"

Lu Xuan wore an expression of calm ease, shielding Ji Fuyao and the members of the Ye clan behind him, and said lightly, "Extinction Old Man, is this your limit? Or are you just too weak!"

Duan Hunsheng's skull had white hair drifting about, now become as thick and stiff as a bronze pillar; the Extinction Old Man laughed harshly.

"My limit? You're wrong! I only need to exert a little force, and that is the limit of this very heaven and earth! This is not my limit, it is the limit of this heaven and earth…… cackle cackle cackle!"

Lu Xuan snorted in derision.

Given that the heavenly-earthly transformation has not yet been activated, the power the Extinction Old Man can summon can only approach half-step Sovereign infinitely close, yet it still falls within the realm of a nine-star Great Emperor.

Lu Xuan sat calmly, speaking lightly, "Go ahead and make your move. I am invincible; do as you wish!"

Upon these words, the Extinction Old Man gave a cold snort, directly activating the power of the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation, deriving endless killing intent, and bombarding toward Lu Xuan.

Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven, the true dragon blood-soaked terrain having been fully condensed, a terrifying, peerless power like a mountain torrent surged forward to crush Lu Xuan.

A nine-star Great Emperor, overwhelming with momentum!

Behind Lu Xuan, Ji Fuyao and the members of the Ye clan turned pallid, having never seen such terrifying power!

In the span of a breath, the Extinction Old Man had already derived myriad supreme killing forces, and the subterranean world appeared with countless terrifying phenomena.

In the east, an endless fire domain condensed, the power of Heaven-Burning and Sea-Boiling refined the earth; the regulatory power of this small world began to churn, and the small world was on the verge of collapse!

In the west, a Heaven-Reaching azure mist sword river surged, towering sword qi transformed into a long dragon, dense sword qi falling like endless withered leaves rustling down, condensing into an endless river rolling onward.

In the south, a terrifying phantom of a chain condensed……

Lu Xuan lightly shook his head, "Too weak! Borrowing the power of the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation, is this all you've got?"

Saying this, he directly activated the Heaven-Burning Decision, the Wilderness Heaven Secret, the Great Dao Classic, and the Non-Action Classic!

An incredibly profound qi mechanism exhaled, Lu Xuan's white robe billowed; four strands of Dao Resonance simultaneously rose upon his body, his body radiated brilliant light, the four forces—rigid and overbearing, Heaven-Burning and Sea-Boiling, darkly harmonizing with heaven and earth, and non-action non-desire—reached a state of utterly perfect balance.

At this moment, Lu Xuan was like a deity descending to the mortal realm!

Ji Fuyao's starry eyes flickered, she was utterly shocked — she couldn't even comprehend the aura on her master's body!

Even Chen Zhangsheng furrowed his brows — four kinds of heaven-reaching powers, completely different forces, actually appeared on the master's body.

He simply couldn't do it!

Chen Zhangsheng was shocked — is this the true "Grand Dao Unification"?

At that moment, Lu Xuan pointed his left hand to heaven, his right hand to earth, transcendent and unworldly, he directly unleashed his ultimate strike.

This strike had long since transcended any particular technique, reaching the state where formlessness defeats form!

Like a falling sun, Lu Xuan's attack arrived in an instant!

Boom!

An immensely dull sound echoed continuously through the void, the power of the Extinction Old Man kept dissipating before Lu Xuan, and his once invincible Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven momentum was completely crushed.

Endless Fire Realm — shattered!

Azure Abyss Sword River — shattered!

Terrifying Chains — shattered!

……

Pfft!

The Extinction Old Man's skull spewed a mouthful of black blood, was blasted thousands of zhang away, slammed heavily onto the ground, his skull began to shrink continuously, eventually reverting to the form of a Duanhun Sheng, leaving only a wisp of the Extinction Old Man's Nine-Star Emperor Realm divine sense attached to it.

Boom!

The underground world kept collapsing, the surface split with endless fissures, immeasurably deep!

The remnants of the Extinction Old Man's Nine-Star Emperor Realm Dao Resonance littered the ground, but all had been destroyed by Lu Xuan's power; now they were like a thousand-year centipede cut into tens of thousands of segments, clinging to life on the ground, soon to scatter across heaven and earth.

Lu Xuan's strike not only shattered the Extinction Old Man's lethal force, it also scattered his vital energy within, simultaneously shattered the Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven formation, and directly severed the momentum of the True Dragon's Blood-Soaked Mountains and Rivers.

Extinction Old Man — defeated in an instant!

He stared at Lu Xuan, utterly shocked — "How is this possible? You unleashed half-step Sovereign power; why hasn't Heaven's Dao erased you?!"
