Chapter 1479: Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation
Below, dozens of top-tier Saint realm experts from Blade Prison Realm and Violet Abyss Realm watched the Golden Step Dragon Carriage flip and fall down, their expressions cold and grim, killing intent blazing in their eyes.
Fang Yi harbored the deepest resentment. Before the Golden Step Dragon Carriage even crashed down, he mobilized the power of Baiwei Star, and a beam of light shot out from between his brows.
The other Saints also condensed their Sacred Arts, striking at the Golden Step Dragon Carriage from all directions.
Suddenly, the space trembled slightly, rippling outward in circles.
“Whoosh—”
The Golden Step Dragon Carriage fell into the ripples of space and vanished, all their Sacred Arts striking empty air.
“Come out!”
Dongliu Sword Venerable’s Saint Qi surged rapidly within his body. Gripping his sword with both hands, he thrust it into the ground. Instantly, countless butterfly shadows flew out from the sword’s body, shaking the Golden Step Dragon Carriage out of the spatial rift.
The Golden Step Dragon Carriage had already shifted over a hundred zhang away, once again bursting with dazzling golden light. Nine dragon souls charged out from inside the war chariot, unleashing a mighty dragon might as they galloped forward.
Severely injured Han Qiu and Mad Demon quickly rushed into the carriage.
“What now? With Yue Kong blocking the way ahead like a terrifying figure, and dozens of top-tier Saint experts chasing from behind, escaping today seems nearly impossible. How about we all burn our Saint Blood, stay and fight to turn the world upside down? Even if we die in battle, wouldn’t it be a glorious blaze?”
Mad Demon’s face was deathly pale, but his eyes remained wild.
Mo Yin’s gaze fixed on Zhang Ruochen, asking, “Should we use the Great Space Teleportation directly?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “The spatial structure of the ninety-nine Sacred Mountains is different from the outside world. It’s not only stable but also chaotic, making long-distance Great Space Teleportation extremely difficult.”
“Moreover, Dongliu Sword Venerable has cultivated a very powerful sword technique that can cause space to vibrate in a strange rhythm. With my current mastery of space, I can barely suppress that rhythm. Once he unleashes that sword technique, I’ll have to abandon the spatial teleportation.”
Behind them, Fang Yi shot a white beam that struck the Golden Step Dragon Carriage, causing the outer layer of Saint power light mist to explode with a loud bang. The entire carriage shook as if it might tip over.
Then, one powerful Sacred Artifact after another slammed into it. Zhang Ruochen scattered a large handful of defensive talismans, barely managing to block the attacks.
The situation was extremely critical. Once surrounded, they would have no choice but to burn their Saint Blood and fight to the death.
“Let’s all inject our Saint Qi into the Golden Step Dragon Carriage together and activate its Dual Radiance Perfection power.”
Zhang Ruochen opened all one hundred and forty-four acupoints on his body, surging out vast amounts of Saint Qi. Mo Yin, Han Qiu, A Le, and Mad Demon also released their Saint Qi to the maximum, pouring it into the Golden Step Dragon Carriage.
The inscriptions within the carriage began to emerge one after another, the aura growing stronger. The golden light became so intense it was blinding to the Saints’ eyes. Ten thousand five hundred patterns… ten thousand six thousand…
…
Eighteen thousand patterns.
…
The bodies of the five all emitted rumbling sounds as Saint Qi flowed through their meridians and Saint veins like great rivers.
Under their full-force activation, more and more inscriptions awakened, eventually barely surpassing twenty thousand patterns.
“Boom!”
A second ring of Saint power light mist appeared around the Golden Step Dragon Carriage, its aura surging dramatically. Even the sound of the wheels turning shook the eardrums of the Saints present, leaving their vision dark and blurred.
Yue Kong, blocking the front of the Golden Step Dragon Carriage, also showed a change in expression, no longer as composed as before.
“Roar!”
Yue Kong clenched his fists, flames erupting from all one hundred and forty-four acupoints. He stomped his beast leg hard on the ground and charged at the Golden Step Dragon Carriage once more.
The ground beneath his feet collapsed into a large crater.
A Saint King who had achieved sainthood through physical cultivation, unleashing his full attack power, could shatter even an iron mountain, let alone a war chariot.
Yet this time, the collision sent Yue Kong flying backward.
“Boom!”
The Golden Step Dragon Carriage smashed a huge hole into the Sacred Mountain, causing large amounts of rock and earth to collapse.
After breaking out of the Sacred Mountain, the people inside the Golden Step Dragon Carriage couldn’t help but show joy, as if escaping from hell back to the mortal world, an immensely thrilling feeling.
Activating the Dual Radiance Perfection power of the Golden Step Dragon Carriage had indeed unleashed unparalleled strength, but it also consumed a tremendous amount of their Saint Qi. They quickly took out pills to restore their Saint Qi and swallowed them.
The pills exploded in their stomachs, transforming into thick Saint Qi that merged into their meridians and Saint veins.
But before they could fully recover their Saint power, the Golden Step Dragon Carriage’s speed suddenly plummeted, as if it had driven into a swamp, becoming almost impossible to move.
“Not good.”
Zhang Ruochen sensed powerful Saint Qi fluctuations coming from all directions, an overwhelming number that seemed to freeze the entire space.
The density of Saint Qi fluctuations was so high that it suppressed the Golden Step Dragon Carriage to a halt.
From all around the Golden Step Dragon Carriage, figures of Saints emerged, some human-shaped, some beast-shaped, forming a super grand formation.
“Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation.”
Mad Demon gasped, “This is it. Even if we fight to the death, we probably won’t make a splash.”
Zhang Ruochen and the others had spent more than half an hour in the underground cave. It was no surprise that the Saints of Blade Prison Realm and Violet Abyss Realm had set up the Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation outside the Sacred Mountain. Even if Zhang Ruochen and his group had killed the thousand-plus Saints trapped in the spatial maze, it wouldn’t have changed the outcome. With half an hour being such a long time, the Saints in the Sacred Mountain would surely have noticed—they weren’t fools.
It could only be said that the attraction of the Rule Imperial Artifact was too great, causing Zhang Ruochen and his group to stay too long in the underground cave, putting themselves in such danger.
With the power of the Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation, even if they activated the Dual Radiance Perfection power of the Golden Step Dragon Carriage again, they couldn’t break out.
The Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation was indeed extremely powerful. Even an old Saint King trapped inside would be suppressed and killed. With their cultivation levels, breaking the formation from within was nearly impossible.
Zhang Ruochen had anticipated such a scenario but still resolutely chose to seize the Rule Imperial Artifact because he possessed a Divine Artifact.
That was why he remained calmer than anyone else.
Fang Yi, Dongliu Sword Venerable, Yue Kong, and a host of other top experts arrived at the edge of the Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation.
Fang Yi clasped his hands behind his back, finally showing a smile on his face. “The Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation can suppress space. How do you plan to escape today?”
Zhang Ruochen didn’t act immediately.
Because just now, a telepathic message had echoed in his mind. A powerful ally had already arrived at Wujin Sacred Mountain.
Breaking the Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation from within was difficult, but from outside, it was much easier.
“Let’s fight it out!”
Han Qiu’s eyes turned pitch black, surging with vast evil energy, as if she had become a female death god.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed her arm, then looked toward Fang Yi’s position, revealing a smile. “I’ve decided not to escape.”
Fang Yi said, “Since you’ve given up on escaping, hand over the Rule Imperial Artifact. If you cooperate obediently, this Realm Son might consider leaving you all intact.”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Buddha Emperor Relic and held it in his palm. “Not escaping because I plan to die together with all of you.”
Zhang Ruochen’s other hand shot a stream of Saint Qi into the Buddha Emperor Relic, causing its light to surge and emit a destructive aura.
“What is he doing? Is Zhang Ruochen trying to detonate the relic and destroy this entire area?”
“That’s… a Buddha Saint’s relic. If it detonates, all of us might be buried with him.”
“Does Zhang Ruochen have the secret technique to detonate a Great Saint’s relic?”
The Saints of Blade Prison Realm and Violet Abyss Realm were all shaken, clearly terrified. They didn’t doubt that Zhang Ruochen would actually detonate the Great Saint relic—after all, if death was certain either way, he might as well take his enemies with him.
Fang Yi’s expression changed slightly. “Zhang Ruochen, have you lost your mind? Detonating a Great Saint’s relic isn’t that easy. I don’t believe you can actually do it.”
“You don’t believe me?”
Zhang Ruochen gave a cold smile, then summoned Purifying Divine Flame and pressed it toward the Buddha Emperor Relic.
A Great Saint relic was extremely stable, requiring powerful Saint Qi to detonate—something a Saint could hardly achieve.
But seeing Zhang Ruochen summon Purifying Divine Flame, the Saints present sensed trouble. They didn’t know if Purifying Divine Flame could detonate the Great Saint relic, but it certainly had a chance.
Who dared to gamble?
If the tens of thousands of Saints from Blade Prison Realm and Violet Abyss Realm all died here, it would cripple both worlds.
Fang Yi knew that Zhang Ruochen didn’t truly intend to detonate the relic; it was more of a threat to seek a way out.
The Saints within the Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation were already panicking, all wanting to get as far away from Zhang Ruochen as possible, unwilling to die with him.
Because of this mindset, the formation’s power grew weaker and weaker.
Fang Yi also bore immense pressure. After consulting with Dongliu Sword Venerable, he gritted his teeth and said, “Hand over the Rule Imperial Artifact, and I’ll let you leave.”
“Fine! Come and take it. I’ll give it to you.” Zhang Ruochen agreed very readily.
Fang Yi stared intently at Zhang Ruochen, feeling that he couldn’t possibly give up the Rule Imperial Artifact so easily—there must be another motive.
Dongliu Sword Venerable said in a low voice, “Zhang Ruochen might be trying to capture you and use you as a hostage to escape. I’ll go into the formation with Yue Kong. No matter what tricks he has, we can handle them.”
“Alright.”
Fang Yi nodded.
Then, Fang Yi gave an order for the Saints controlling the formation to open a gap.
Just as Fang Yi, Dongliu Sword Venerable, and Yue Kong stepped into the Ten Thousand Saints Grand Formation, the southern sky surged with countless specks of light, like a rain of light crashing into the formation, scattering the Saints in disarray.
Each speck of light was a character.
All the characters gathered together into an ocean of words, at the center of which floated an ancient sacred book.
