Chapter 39: The Terrifying Bahuang Demon-Subduing Formation

At the central axis of Donghuang Star, a white pillar of light shot skyward and merged with the white pillar of light at the center of the Forbidden Grounds.

Seven similar pillars of light converged from different directions onto the central pillar.

Hum!

The entire Bahuang Star trembled violently, and a milky-white membrane of light appeared, shrouding the area fifty zhang ahead of the warship.

Over a dozen Kulu Zong powerhouses changed color at the same instant, a sudden, extremely ominous feeling rising in their hearts.

Ming Lengye turned pale with shock: "Stop the ship!"

He sensed a terrifying force of rules from the white membrane, and panic welled up in his heart.

But it was already too late!

The warship's speed was blindingly fast; in the blink of an eye it slammed into the membrane.

Boom!

A dull thud.

The defensive talisman array on the warship's surface had only just activated when it instantly shattered apart.

Crash!

The warship, racing at high speed, was like a wooden boat smashing into a hard boulder—instantly splintering into pieces!

The dozen-plus Kulu Zong powerhouses had no time to react and likewise slammed into the white membrane, letting out piercing, wretched screams.

Streams of fresh blood spurted from their mouths.

Their bodies, striking the white membrane, met with a tremendous rebound force; their five viscera and six bowels were all injured by the shock.

Once they came to their senses, they took out pills one after another to heal their wounds.

Only Ming Lengye reacted quickly, sacrificing a pitch-black skull to block in front and thereby escaping harm from the rebound force.

The over a thousand Kulu Zong disciples inside the warship, at the instant the warship shattered, were hurled by inertia into the white membrane.

Pfft pfft pfft~

Bloom after bloom of vivid blood-flowers unfurled, like budding roses bursting open, painting a brilliant stroke across the white membrane.

Accompanied by one after another of wretched, piercing screams.

Not one of the thousand Kulu Zong disciples survived; their bodies exploded one after another into clouds of blood mist.

"Ah!"

Ming Lengye let out a long, agonized howl, crying in terror: "It has no offensive power, but its defense is invincible—this is the Bahuang Demon-Subduing Formation!"

"That old thing Bahuang tricked us into charging in, then activated the Bahuang Demon-Subduing Formation to plot against us!"

At this moment, the first thing he thought was—

Bahuang Laozu had deliberately killed Ming Tianqi and the two Xuanming Elders, luring him here to invade the Bahuang Star Domain.

Once the warship was racing at full speed, he activated the Bahuang Demon-Subduing Formation, using the formation's defensive rebound force to grievously wound Kulu Zong.

Ming Lengye would never have imagined that the true mastermind behind all of this was Lu Tianyu, not Bahuang Laozu.

Swish!

A white-haired figure suddenly appeared within the light screen, smiling as he looked at Ming Lengye:

"Oh ho! Sect Leader Ming, you're still alive—you've really surprised me!"

"All your men are dead; you being alive has no meaning whatsoever. I think you'd better hurry up and kill yourself to atone, hahahaha!"

Bahuang Laozu laughed, dancing about like a child.

He had lived for over ten thousand years, and this moment was the happiest of his entire life.

Bahuang Star had always survived in the cracks, tightly locked in the middle by the four great star domains; even when coughing he had to cover his mouth, not daring to be loud.

As the only Void-Treading Stage ancestor, he was the most aggrieved of all, spat at and cursed as a waste, an old turtle!

Today he could finally hold his head high—how could he not be overjoyed!

At this moment, he truly regarded Lu Tianyu as his own master.

"Y-you're Bahuang Laozu?"

"Could it be..."

Ming Lengye's body trembled as he looked at the young man in a blue robe, utterly bewildered.

Although he had never met Bahuang Laozu, he had still seen his portrait—an old man well past eighty.

What was going on?

The ancestor had just said that Bahuang Laozu's body had shattered and only his divine soul remained—could it be a possession?

"Hahaha!"

Bahuang Laozu laughed heartily: "This Ancestor looks so young because this Ancestor has advanced to the Great Vehicle Stage!"

"Otherwise, how could this Ancestor possibly have the ability to seal the Forbidden Abyss?"

He glanced down at Ming Lengye with utter contempt: "Immediately cripple your own cultivation, go back and inform your Black Demon Ancestor to come to Bahuang and offer a humble apology!"

"Otherwise I will march on Kulu Zong and slaughter every last one of you!"

Bahuang Laozu's current body was still Lu Qingyan's body.

All those words just now were scripted by Lu Tianyu.

"Ah!"

"Could it be you've advanced to the Great Vehicle Stage?"

Ming Lengye was scared out of his wits, turned tail and fled, vanishing in a flash to a point a hundred zhang away.

The dozen-plus Kulu Zong elders were no exception, scurrying away like rabbits in mad panic!

"Hahaha!"

Bahuang Laozu laughed out loud: "This Ancestor too has his day of holding his head high!"

At this moment, inside the Bahuang Demon-Subduing Formation.

A figure shrouded in black mist was firmly bound by eight white chains.

No matter how desperately this shadow struggled, it could not break free.

"Ahhhh!"

"Bahuang, you old bastard! You actually set a trap to trap me — if you have the guts, release me and fight me face to face!"

This person was none other than one of the two Ancestors of Kulu Zong — Black Bone Ancestor.

Before being bound by the chains, he had been relentlessly pursuing Bahuang Laozu's Clone Realm, thoroughly enjoying himself.

It was only after being bound by the chains that he realized he had been tricked.

He had been toyed with by Bahuang Laozu the whole time, and once the Ancestor had played with him enough, he was immediately restrained.

"Old thing, do you dare to release me!"

"If you don't release me, you're a turtle bastard!"

Knowing struggling was useless, Black Bone Ancestor stopped struggling and looked to his side.

He was shocked to discover that on a flying boat, beside Bahuang Laozu, who wore a wooden, blank expression, stood a young man, staring at him with an icy gaze.

The stare made his whole body bristle.

Black Bone Ancestor cursed furiously: "What are you, anyway? Get lost!"

"Tell Bahuang Laozu to come out — I want to talk to him!"

He had only cursed twice when he sensed something was wrong: "You — who are you!"

This young man appeared to have no cultivation whatsoever, yet his piercing gaze seemed capable of piercing through his body and seeing him through completely.

This person was no simple matter!

Moreover, Bahuang Laozu seemed extremely respectful toward this young man.

He stood half a step behind, like a servant following his master.

Lu Tianyu said coldly: "Bahuang Laozu, slap his mouth twenty times for me — this person's mouth is too filthy!"

Black Bone Ancestor flew into a rage upon hearing this: "Slap my mouth? What do you take yourself for!"

"Get lost..."

He had only spoken half the words when he could speak no more, letting out a hellish scream.

Boom!

A large golden pancake flashing with golden light slammed onto his face, dazing him.

It didn't stop — the large golden pancake smacked his face again and again.

Puff puff puff~

Black Bone Ancestor spat out several mouthfuls of black fresh blood, and in his rage fainted on the spot.

As one of the two Ancestors of Kulu Zong, when had he ever suffered such grievance!

He had been slapped in the face by Bahuang Laozu's life-bound treasure, and was bound with no power to resist whatsoever.

Bahuang Laozu's Clone Realm did not stop, continuing to drive the large golden pancake to slap Black Bone Ancestor's black-mist-shrouded face.

The black mist covering Black Bone Ancestor's body dispersed, revealing a horrifying skeleton-like body.
