Chapter 323: Severe Blow to Yang Mei the Great Immortal, Once Again Breaking the Execution Immortal Sword Formation!

At this moment, Yang Mei's heart was overwhelmed by surging waves of shock, unable to calm down.

This voice, he was too familiar with it.

This was exactly Chen Ku's.

Moreover, the blazing divine radiance before him also carried the terrifying aura of the third style of the Opening Heaven Three Styles.

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Yang Mei had this thought arise.

Chen Ku had previously, along with that space, been utterly burned to nothingness by the karmic fire, ceasing to exist.

How could he possibly be resurrected from the ground?!

Yang Mei could not believe what he saw before his eyes.

But no matter how shocked and horrified he was.

Finally!

Chen Ku's figure once again manifested from within Chaos.

His Daoist robe fluttered, his eyes bright and piercing, shooting forth cold lightning, an indescribable chill and sternness.

And Yang Mei clearly noticed that at this moment, every inch of Chen Ku's flesh and blood radiated dazzling light.

Chaos aura condensed, and even the lingering Chaos killing qi rose upward.

"Chaos Body?!"

Yang Mei's pupils suddenly contracted, and he was utterly enlightened in his heart.

Indeed!

As you know, Chen Ku had previously already condensed into a Chaos Body.

This physique was not merely simple indestructibility.

More importantly, it could achieve the immortality and indestructibility of a Primordial Sage.

Especially since he had previously been within Chaos, where boundless Chaos aura surrounded him, available for Chen Ku to draw upon.

Thus, although it seemed he had been burned to nothingness by the spatial karmic fire and ceased to exist,

With the aid of the Chaos Body, Chen Ku was able to be reborn once again.

This method was even more mysterious and wondrous than the Twelve Billion Nine Hundred and Sixty Million Blood God Sons of the Old Ancestor of the Nether River.

But now, having finally understood everything, it was already too late.

Chen Ku reappeared, and upon arrival, he directly unleashed the terrifying divine power of the third style of the Opening Heaven Three Styles once more.

Its speed was astonishing, its momentum vast, giving Yang Mei not even a moment to react.

Slice!

This chi, like cutting through rotten wood, directly pierced through Yang Mei's fleshly body.

In an instant, torrents of blood rain exploded outward, pouring into the cosmos, dyeing vast expanses of void red.

Immediately after, Yang Mei's figure, like an arrow released from a bow, shot forth violently.

He continued to spit blood in large mouthfuls, and wherever he passed, one great star after another was shattered with a boom, breaking apart and scattering.

For Yang Mei, this was yet another severe blow.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Mei's aura suddenly weakened by thirty to forty percent, listless and lethargic, his eyes dim.

Yang Mei was both startled and angry, and could not help but repeatedly utter painful groans.

Yet, despite such severe injury, he did not lose his reason due to anger.

"Damn it!"

"This brat is actually so hard to kill!"

"For now, avoiding his edge is best!"

Yang Mei directly made this decision in his heart.

He knew that, no matter how unwilling he was, he was now no match for Chen Ku.

With this thought, he immediately borrowed momentum to turn his body and headed toward the deeper reaches of Chaos.

And behind him, Chen Ku's face was cold and stern, killing intent intense.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Wielding the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in his hand, streaks of calamity light spread across billions upon billions of miles, falling into the depths of Chaos.

With his own power, he stirred the boundless Chaos universe.

This scene was vast and magnificent, spectacular beyond compare.

Under such a sweeping killing intent, in the dark, several more cries of Yang Mei, desperately suppressing his pain, were transmitted.

However, as a space demon god, his mastery over space was extremely profound.

Thus, in a moment, Yang Mei's figure, stumbling, completely vanished from sight.

Amidst immense shock, he even dared not turn his head back once.

Watching Yang Mei completely disappear, Chen Ku then withdrew his offensive.

His gaze remained cold and stern, but he did not continue to attack.

Nothing else!

Chen Ku also clearly understood that wanting to completely kill Yang Mei was also not so easy.

On the other side.

Outside the Chaos Realm, it had long been a scene of utter silence.

Chen Ku's reappearance left everyone utterly stunned, filled with disbelief.

Even Jieyin, Zhunti, and the other Four Saints who had previously gone berserk with killing intent were now dazed and stunned, their expressions shifting.

And Yangmei Daxian, who had been aggressively pursuing him, fled in panic—this was shocking beyond belief, unprecedented in ancient times.

After a long while!

Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others finally came to their senses.

"Disciple... you're not dead?!"

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful!"

Jieyin finally believed what he saw before him, unable to help but look up to the sky and laugh loudly, overwhelmed with emotion.

He even felt a sense of joy so intense it brought tears to his eyes.

Zhunti, Hongyun, and others likewise had faces filled with excitement, ecstatic beyond measure.

"My grand-nephew is safe and sound—truly a great fortune, a great fortune!"

"Haha, I knew it—Daoist friend Chen Ku could never have fallen so easily."

Instantly, the cheers and laughter of Jieyin, Zhunti, and others completely drowned out everything else.

In response, Chen Ku gave a faint smile, gesturing for Jieyin, Zhunti, and others not to worry.

Immediately afterward, his expression darkened.

"Alas, suffering, suffering..."

"The sneak attack by Taishang and Yuanshi, the two saints, was truly without warning, leaving me completely unprepared."

"How... should I repay these two?!"

Chen Ku sighed and spoke these words.

Before his words had even faded, his gaze turned toward Laozi and Yuanshi, and his former composure was gone.

In its place came a blazing, knife-like radiance that shot forth, making heads tingle and bodies go cold.

Upon hearing this, Laozi and Yuanshi's faces turned extremely grim.

At this moment, their hearts held only the same thought as Yangmei's.

This brat is too hard to kill!

Earlier, they had disregarded their status and launched a sneak attack, already losing face.

Unexpectedly, in the end, Chen Ku remained completely unharmed.

This made the situation even more awkward.

Laozi and Yuanshi remained silent, unable to respond.

Moreover, Chen Ku had no intention of hearing their response.

As his words fell, Chen Ku's body moved swiftly.

The Tathagata Divine Palm erupted again—he hesitated not, launching another assault.

This time, it was the Five Saints of Buddhism versus the Three Purities in furious battle.

Without doubt, the situation had completely turned into a one-sided crushing dominance.

With the Five Saints joining forces, the Three Purities were forced back step by step, their faces dark as iron, their breath suppressed utterly.

Especially Laozi and Yuanshi—they groaned repeatedly.

There's no other way!

This time, every move Chen Ku made deliberately targeted Laozi and Yuanshi for a beating.

One divine ability after another poured forth without restraint, flooding Laozi and Yuanshi's bodies.

Muffled explosions burst forth, deafeningly loud!

Laozi and Yuanshi could no longer endure, retreating step by step, their faces flushed red—clearly, their internal energy had boiled over, driven to an astonishingly terrifying state.

At the same time, Jieyin, Zhunti, and others acted in perfect unison.

They merely blocked and neutralized the attacks of Laozi, Yuanshi, and others, leaving them for Chen Ku to discipline.

Boom!

Another palm descended, heavenly radiance flooding into Laozi's body like a thunderclap exploding.

Pfft......

Laozi could bear it no longer, spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

The saint's blood was crimson and extraordinary, carrying vast, unparalleled energy that annihilated endless space.

Laozi's eyes nearly burst from their sockets, gnashing his teeth, his expression twisted into a ferocity never seen before.

"Third brother, when will you unleash the Immortal Execution Sword Formation? What are you waiting for?!"

He suddenly roared.

Now, only by reactivating the Immortal Execution Sword Formation might there be a chance to resist the might of the Buddhist saints.

On the other side.

In fact, there's no need for Laozi to shout in anger.

Seeing his elder brother so severely wounded, Tongtian had long since been furious, his hair standing on end, hatred and rage intertwined.

"Do not harm the Elder Brother Taishang!"

Tongtian glared at Chen Ku, shouting with immense voice, roaring across the heavens, making those who heard it feel their hair stand on end and their bones turn to ice.

"Even a common man's anger makes blood spatter five steps!"

"A saint's anger is even worse—corpses pile up by the millions, a horror beyond words!"

Immediately afterward, a familiar scene reappeared.

Tongtian swept his wide sleeve, and four immortal swords rose once more, soaring through the Chaos universe, spreading vast rivers of blood-light, shocking to behold.

"Chen Ku... do you truly believe my Zhuxian Sword Formation cannot deal with you?!"

Tongtian's words were cold and stern, grand and solemn.

As the words fell, it was as if spoken words became law.

Boom—!

Only to see the Zhuxian Sword Formation rumble into operation.

Immediately, amidst the boundless blood radiance, there rose up one after another profound, obscure, ineffable, and sinister aura.

Seeing this, Jieyin and Zhunti's expressions changed.

"Not good!"

"Tongtian is going to reenact Earth, Water, Fire, Wind!"

"The four primordial elements converging—this is the true power of the Zhuxian Sword Formation; one must not be careless in the slightest!"

Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others immediately exclaimed, having understood Tongtian's intent.

Reenacting Earth, Water, Fire, Wind—this is an extremely terrifying method.

After all, the so-called primordial four elements each carry the destructive power to annihilate all things and shatter the heavens.

Indeed!

Just as Jieyin and Zhunti had said.

The Zhuxian Sword Formation erupted with unprecedented mighty divine power.

Stirred by the formation's aura, billions of Chaos stars utterly rioted.

The Milky Way surged, stars collided, and the roaring sound was enough to shatter eardrums.

This scene was even more terrifying than the prior demon court's deployment of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Formation.

Moreover, vast torrents of Chaos dust gathered, like rolling dark clouds, obscuring the sky and blotting out the sun, swallowing all starlight.

Water and fire intertwined, their auras entwining as they came to strangle and slaughter.

Everything seemed like the end of the world, indescribably terrifying.

All beings grimaced, secretly clicking their tongues.

This is the true profound mystery of "only the Four Saints can break it."

As the formation loomed high, it was about to envelop Chen Ku and the others entirely.

Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others stepped forward, preparing to join Chen Ku in breaking the formation.

However, at this moment Chen Ku did something astonishing.

He pushed out with one palm; gentle mana bore Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others entirely outside the formation.

Thereafter, Chen Ku, alone, leapt up and directly entered the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

Countless beings erupted in an uproar, shock and regret intertwined.

What does this mean?!

Does Chen Ku intend to rely solely on his own strength to forcibly break the Zhuxian Sword Formation?!

Only the Four Saints can break it!

Is he insisting on defying the understanding of all beings?!

Jieyin was equally astonished.

"Disciple, do not!"

Yet his cry had already become useless.

At this moment, Chen Ku stood within the Zhuxian Sword Formation, his form twisting and maneuvering, already wandering without cease.

He did so naturally, possessing ample confidence.

Previously, his choice to flee was not due to fear of the Zhuxian Sword Formation's might.

On the contrary, he had already comprehended the formation's operational method.

Therefore, although the surrounding scene was horrifying beyond compare, seeming capable of annihilating everything,

Chen Ku's eyes were sharp and cold, like lightning, carefully scrutinizing every trajectory of the Zhuxian Sword Formation's operation.

An exceptionally clear pattern also gradually formed in his sea of consciousness.

What if they reenact Earth, Water, Fire, Wind?!

Know that myriad changes do not depart from their essence!

Thus, this Zhuxian Sword Formation ultimately cannot escape its most fundamental operational method.

Indeed!

After a moment, Chen Ku's eyes brightened slightly.

He had already discerned the mystery of this formation.

Without hesitation, Chen Ku immediately formed hand seals, beginning to evolve various profound, obscure, and meaningless Dao arts.

This was to pacify this endless Earth, Water, Fire, Wind.

Under Chen Ku's hand seals, the original dull roars like ancient feral beasts gradually dissipated into nothingness.

The power of water and fire was extinguished, no longer existing.

Even the boundless sword intent, as vast as smoke and waves, was purified by the flood of Buddhist and Daoist golden light.

This scene left Jieyin, Zhunti, and the others utterly dazed.

"How... how is this possible?!"

"Could it be that the so-called Zhuxian Sword Formation can be broken by a single person, with no trace of the legendary invincible might?!"

"Such a miraculous method—I, in my daze, feel that Tongtian is not the master of the sword formation; rather, Chen Ku, my disciple's nephew, is."

"One person, suppressing the might of the Zhuxian Sword Formation—such power, my palace has never heard of."

The myriad sages gasped in astonishment, unable to believe it.

Even Nüwa, at this moment, wore an expression of deep emotion.

Upon reflection, even if the Four Sages joined forces, perhaps they could not achieve Chen Ku's leisurely stroll through the courtyard, calm and untroubled.

This is the importance of comprehending the origin of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation.

On the other side, Tongtian and the others were also stunned speechless.

"How could that brat break the formation so easily?!"

"Junior Brother, did you perhaps hold back, not pushing this formation to its utmost power?!"

Laozi Yuanshi was utterly bewildered, questioning Tongtian.

But at this moment, Tongtian's face was solemn and reverent.

He did not turn his head, responding in a deep voice:

"The power of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation has already been elevated to its utmost!"

This single sentence left Laozi Yuanshi utterly dumbfounded.

Even at its peak strength, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation could do nothing against Chen Ku?!

How are we supposed to play this?!

Before the Three Purities could continue pondering further.

Finally!

At this moment, the Zhu Xian Sword Formation could be said to be in utter disarray, shattered beyond repair.

Chen Ku hesitated no longer, brandishing the Hongmeng Liang Tian Chi once more.

With one strike, all the formation's trajectories were thrown into complete chaos.

The Zhu Xian Sword Formation shattered completely, countless strands of sword intent sinking into the depths of Chaos, with no divine might remaining.

Thereafter, Chen Ku's assault showed no diminution, as he fiercely struck Tongtian's form.

This strike was sufficient to destroy a sage's Dao body, shaking their very soul.

Yet, at this very moment, Tongtian's sage Dao fruit manifested, pouring down heavenly radiance that enveloped him.

Under the protection of this sage Dao fruit, Tongtian's physical form revealed an unprecedented resilience.

He withstood a blow from the Hongmeng Liang Tian Chi unscathed.

Seeing this, Chen Ku's expression froze, then his brows furrowed slightly.

Sages are truly indestructible and immortal, as expected!
