Chapter 22: Formation Annihilates True Immortal

Time flew by swiftly.

In the Wasteland Age World, after the Immortal Fate Assembly, time had already passed over ten years in the blink of an eye.

These over ten years were a turning decade for the Great Summer World.

From calm to wind and clouds rising.

The frequency and scale of battles among cultivators have greatly increased, fallen loose immortals are commonplace, and there are even rumors that a True Immortal elder died in the strife.

Regarding these, whether it was Zhou Yu's true self in seclusion within the Zhou Clan or his second primordial spirit in seclusion at Heibai Xuegong, he had heard of them.

He also knew that the Uninterrupted Gate had truly begun to exert its power in the Great Summer World.

However, Zhou Yu had no mind to manage too much; he simply secluded himself in accelerated time.

This day—

In the Zhou Clan, Zhou Yu suddenly opened his eyes; with a wave of his hand, a turtle-shell dharma treasure instantly appeared before him.

"Master." The apparition of the Wind Void True Immortal appeared; he said somewhat anxiously:

"Master, I can no longer suppress your affairs; the higher-ups have taken notice of you and demand we produce results within a month."

"Is that so?" Zhou Yu frowned slightly; he had anticipated this day, but didn't expect it to come so soon.

However, after the Wind Void True Immortal's explanation, he still understood it quickly.

Given the realm he displayed in the Vast Yang Grand World initially, he himself is an existence that cannot be ignored, his importance practically comparable to that of a true True Immortal.

Moreover, the Uninterrupted Gate has recently taken note that he is Ji Ning's master.

Back then, Ji Ning was first in the Immortal Fate Assembly and mysteriously disappeared; in the eyes of the Uninterrupted Gate, at least a True God True Immortal secretly acted to take him away, and it might even have been a True God Dao Ancestor.

Under these circumstances, Ji Ning's importance rose sharply; as his master, Zhou Yu naturally attracted even more attention.

Nowadays, the Uninterrupted Gate stirs up wind and rain everywhere in the Great Summer World, recruiting manpower.

As a figure of considerable weight, with a "handle" still in the Uninterrupted Gate's hands, it is indeed too conspicuous that he has not yet decided which side to join.

"However, dragging it out this long is enough." Zhou Yu felt calm inside.

After cultivating over ten thousand years under time acceleration, his space-time power has reached the third level.

This level of space-time power is terrifying, almost not weaker than a normal fourth-level power.

The key is that Zhou Yu's life-preserving ability has greatly increased; even if an ordinary True God True Immortal attacked him while he stood there letting them strike, they could not hit him.

"I've just been focusing on space-time power these years; my formation arts have hardly progressed at all." Zhou Yu shook his head inwardly.

There's no way around it; space-time power has the detailed treatise "True Explanation of Space-Time" guiding him, so his progress is naturally fast.

But formation arts have no guidance at all; figuring them out from scratch is horribly inefficient, so Zhou Yu simply didn't devote much thought to them, with both his true self and second primordial spirit focusing entirely on space-time power.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to reach this point in such a short time.

And not long after the Wind Void True Immortal delivered the message, people from the Uninterrupted Gate arrived quickly.

The visitor turned out to be an acquaintance of Zhou Yu, the old-man-appearing True Immortal who had jointly besieged the Fire Cloud True Immortal back then; Zhou Yu remembered his dao name as "Zhu Mu".

"Six Harmony Dao Friend, no, should be Qian Yu Dao Friend—long time no see." The Bamboo Wood True Immortal stood above the Zhou Clan, looking wistful at that moment.

"I'd rather not see you." Zhou Yu shook his head: "Why are you forcing me?"

"Huh? Dao Friend, what do you mean?" the Bamboo Wood True Immortal said:

"Could it be that the Wind Void True Immortal fed you nonsense? Actually, joining us poses no harm to you."

"We can help you reincarnate, even help you pass the tribulation to become an immortal; all you need to do is stand on our side."

"Given the current state of the world, can you still not see clearly?"

Upon hearing that, Zhou Yu nodded; the Bamboo Wood True Immortal's words were not bad—nowadays in the Great Summer World, one must either side with the Uninterrupted Gate or with the Summer Emperor, there is no second option.

The two great camps will soon erupt in a true great decisive battle; even if the outcome remains unchanged, the Red Bright Realm's realm war will erupt in the Great Summer World, which would be truly terrifying.

"I don't want to make a choice now; I intend to keep waiting and see." Zhou Yu said.

"You've also cultivated over three million years; why are you so naive? Do you think it's possible?" The Bamboo Wood True Immortal's face darkened somewhat as he shouted:

"You keep obstructing; I see you simply want to stand against us. If so, then don't blame us for being impolite—you should know full well that not only you, but even a True Immortal, if we wish, killing him would not be too difficult."

"Moreover, do we even need to act to deal with you? Don't forget what happened in the Vast Yang Grand World!"

"If that's the case, then there's nothing to be done." Zhou Yu shook his head.

He did not attempt to use the Heart Control Secret Technique; one, using it repeatedly would also be a burden on him; two, those now noticing him are higher-ups of the Uninterrupted Gate, and dealing with a Bamboo Wood True Immortal would be useless.

"What do you intend to do?"

At this moment, the Bamboo Wood True Immortal's heart suddenly became wary.

"Rise!"

Zhou Yu pointed his hand to the sky; in an instant—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sky over half of East Sea Commandery darkened.

The boundless heavenly and earthly force of the entire East Sea Commandery condensed at an inconceivable speed.

"Is this a formation? How could it be?" the Bamboo Wood True Immortal's heart was shocked beyond measure.

He knew Zhou Yu excelled in formation arts; before coming, he naturally probed carefully, confirming there was no ambush before daring to negotiate with Zhou Yu.

But now, suddenly an endless heavenly and earthly force gathered—clearly the manifestation of a formation being activated.

"I laid this formation using the heavenly and earthly momentum of East Sea Commandery as the foundation; could you detect it?" Zhou Yu's face remained calm; to kill him, the Bamboo Wood True Immortal, he needed only a finger.

But Zhou Yu temporarily did not wish to reveal his space-time power, so he first used formations to oppose the enemy.

Boom!

The Bamboo Wood True Immortal instantly unleashed a dharma treasure; his internal mana exploded, and a towering sacred tree ten thousand li high swiftly grew behind him.

The Bamboo Wood True Immortal, his strength is very strong, absolutely a top-tier True Immortal; as soon as he acts, it is extraordinary.

But, the Bamboo Wood Heavenly Immortal only felt his heart pounding at this moment, he had no thought of lingering, and after executing one move he immediately used an escape technique to flee.

"Destroy!"

Zhou Yu commanded the heavenly and earthly force condensed to its limit, and in an instant countless terrifying sword lights formed and rained down from the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sky‑supporting giant tree summoned by the Bamboo‑Wood Heavenly Immortal could not withstand such an attack at all; the terrifying sword light that covered the sky and earth submerged him in the blink of an eye.

Bamboo‑Wood Heavenly Immortal, dead!

"This time I've truly made my mark; whether it's the Hell's Gate Sect or the Xia Emperor, they will truly notice me," Zhou Yu thought to himself.

However, before Zhou Yu could think too much, he suddenly gave a slight start.

"Can I simulate again?" Zhou Yu wondered in surprise; it seemed that killing this Bamboo‑Wood Heavenly Immortal had just gathered enough primal energy.
