Chapter 2042: The Radiant Divine Scripture
Seeing Zhou Yu arrive, Mo Sheng's eyes flickered with a few strange lights before he immediately went to meet him.
"Zhou Yu, you've finally come!"
As he spoke, Mo Sheng's gaze was sizing up the Azure Heaven Sacred Dragon that Zhou Yu was leading, feeling a stir of shock in his heart.
This Azure Heaven Sacred Dragon was a primordial ancient breed, its bloodline far more powerful than that of most dragon clans. More importantly, the aura it emitted was even stronger than that of an average Lintao Realm expert.
For Zhou Yu to be able to subdue such a powerful Azure Heaven Sacred Dragon was truly astonishing.
Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said, "I was slightly delayed capturing this beast, but it seems I haven't arrived too late."
Hearing this, a flicker of displeasure flashed in Mo Sheng's eyes. He could clearly hear the implication in Zhou Yu's words—he was belittling them.
"Outside the Blood God Sect, there are three ninth-rank formations with a supreme sacred artifact as the formation's eye. Zhou Yu, do you have a way to break them?" Mo Sheng asked calmly.
Since Zhou Yu thought they were useless and couldn't breach the Blood God Sect, Mo Sheng wanted to see what abilities Zhou Yu actually had.
Zhou Yu casually glanced at the Blood God Sect's protective grand formation, then flipped his hand to produce a rhomboid gemstone of a dark green color. It was engraved with many complex and profound secret patterns, enough to make even a top-tier nine-step Saint King dizzy if they stared too long.
"While capturing this beast, I happened to obtain this Formation-Suppressing Stone. It's a good chance to test its power," Zhou Yu said.
A strange look appeared in Mo Sheng's eyes as he stared intently at the dark green gemstone Zhou Yu had taken out. "There's a Formation Earth Master inside the Blood God Sect personally controlling the three ninth-rank formations. Can this Formation-Suppressing Stone hold them down?"
"We'll find out by trying," Zhou Yu said calmly, but anyone could hear the confidence in his words.
As he spoke, Zhou Yu casually sent the Formation-Suppressing Stone flying, activating it with his own sacred Qi.
Immediately, the surface of the Formation-Suppressing Stone lit up with numerous complex secret patterns, intertwining and shifting unpredictably, as it pressed down directly on the Blood God Sect's protective grand formation.
"Not good, it's a Formation-Suppressing Stone."
Seeing the Formation-Suppressing Stone descend, Xiao Hei's expression changed drastically.
No one understood the Formation-Suppressing Stone better than a formation master. This object was crafted by a Formation Earth Master, extremely difficult to produce, requiring not only exceptional formation mastery but also special materials.
The Formation-Suppressing Stone had only one function: to suppress formation patterns, weakening the formation's power or even rendering it completely ineffective.
For anything below a ninth-rank formation, the Formation-Suppressing Stone would immediately nullify it.
If two Formation Earth Masters of comparable skill dueled, the one with a Formation-Suppressing Stone would undoubtedly hold a massive advantage.
"Boom, rumble."
As the power of the Formation-Suppressing Stone was released, the three ninth-rank formations began to tremble violently.
In an instant, some of the formation patterns dimmed, creating significant flaws in the constructed formations.
"What a great opportunity."
Mo Sheng's eyes gleamed with light, and without hesitation, he activated the Nether Sun Divine Wheel to launch an attack.
This time, the Nether Sun Divine Wheel transformed directly into a gray sun, plummeting rapidly from the sky.
"Boom."
The barrier formed by the three ninth-rank formations only held for a moment before collapsing quickly.
Xiao Hei reacted extremely fast. The moment he sensed the formation's collapse, he immediately took the Mountain-Hiding Demon Mirror and fled, retreating at top speed into Infant Lord Peak.
"Zhang Ruochen, we're in big trouble. Zhou Yu has shown up and brought a Formation-Suppressing Stone. I'm afraid even Infant Lord Peak's defenses won't hold," Xiao Hei said anxiously.
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen's brow furrowed slightly. "With your skills, can't you deal with that Formation-Suppressing Stone?"
"That Formation-Suppressing Stone is no ordinary thing. It easily suppressed the three ninth-rank formations I repaired. If I'm not mistaken, it was likely made by the Land and Sea King. My current formation mastery has only just recovered to the level of a Mountain and River Lord. Dealing with that stone is no easy task," Xiao Hei said gravely.
So-called Mountain and River Lords and Land and Sea Kings both belonged to the ranks of Formation Earth Masters, but at different levels, the power of the formations they set up varied dramatically.
Legend had it that the most powerful Formation Earth Masters could rival top-tier Great Saints.
Becoming a Formation Earth Master at the Saint King realm usually only reached the level of a Mountain and River Lord, and often just barely, not particularly profound.
Hearing Xiao Hei's words, everyone present wore grim expressions. They were truly trapped in a perilous situation.
Outside the Blood God Sect, the many experts of the Black Demon Realm were extremely excited. The protective grand formation was broken, and nothing could stop their advance.
"Finish this quickly. Leave no one alive except the heir of the Thousand Bone Female Emperor," Mo Sheng ordered coldly.
"Swish."
In an instant, the many experts of the Black Demon Realm swooped down and entered the Blood God Sect.
By now, the entire Blood God Sect had sunk deep underground, hundreds of zhang below the surface.
Mo Sheng activated the Nether Sun Divine Wheel, releasing vast divine power to seal off all escape routes from the Blood God Sect.
The reason for this was undoubtedly to prevent Zhang Ruochen from escaping.
With so many Heavenly Demon Stone Inscription originals on Zhang Ruochen, letting him get away would mean all their efforts were in vain.
Seeing the Black Demon Realm cultivators spring into action, Zhou Yu didn't hesitate either. Leading the Azure Heaven Sacred Dragon, he also entered the Blood God Sect.
"Ah, what's happening? Why is my life essence rapidly draining?"
Suddenly, a terrified voice rang out.
A three-step Saint King of the Black Demon Realm wore a look of horror as he rapidly aged, his skin wrinkling and his temples turning white.
Following that, several more Black Demon Realm Saint Kings experienced the same phenomenon.
This situation spread like a plague, affecting not only ordinary Saint King realm experts but even nine-step Saint King realm experts.
"Boom."
In the chaos, a space rift about a zhang wide suddenly appeared, severing a five-step Saint King's body in half, with the upper half swallowed by the rift.
Then, a patch of space suddenly collapsed, sweeping up two nearby Black Demon Realm Saint Kings.
"Everyone, don't make any rash moves. Damn it, Zhang Ruochen set up time formations and space formations in advance within the Blood God Sect," Mo Sheng shouted, his face turning extremely dark.
Instantly, all the Black Demon Realm cultivators calmed down, warily watching their surroundings and refraining from any sudden actions.
Zhou Yu's expression remained indifferent. "In the face of absolute power, these petty tricks are nothing but a joke."
With that, Zhou Yu extended a hand, and a brilliant sacred light appeared in his palm, dazzling like a small sun.
The sacred light flew out, expanding rapidly like a rising sun, illuminating the entire Blood God Sect brightly.
The next moment, the sacred light shattered, scattering into countless specks of light that slowly dissipated.
On Infant Lord Peak, Zhang Ruochen's expression grew extremely solemn as he watched Zhou Yu from a distance.
Using the time formations and space formations he had set up in advance, Zhang Ruochen could clearly sense Zhou Yu's power.
This person's methods were simply unimaginable. Without causing any destruction, he had effortlessly destroyed all the time and space formations Zhang Ruochen had set up.
"What a formidable mastery of the Way of Light. The light rules Zhou Yu has cultivated must number far more than a hundred thousand," Zhang Ruochen thought with deep shock.
Zhou Yu was a Light Controller, nurtured with full effort by the great powers of the Radiant Divine Temple, and had received extraordinary opportunities. He was truly a proud son of heaven.
Not only Zhang Ruochen, but all the experts of the Black Demon Realm were also astonished. Even Mo Sheng's eyes showed a hint of seriousness.
Mo Sheng was extremely proud, especially after activating the Nether Sun Divine Wheel, his arrogance had grown even stronger, believing himself no weaker than Zhou Yu.
But seeing Zhou Yu's display now gave Mo Sheng a feeling of unfathomable depth.
With the time and space formations gone, some of the Black Demon Realm experts were saved, but others had already perished.
However, even those who were saved were mostly severely depleted of energy, and recovery would not be easy.
Zhou Yu turned his gaze to Infant Lord Peak, meeting Zhang Ruochen's eyes from afar, and said calmly, "Zhang Ruochen, come with me to the Paradise Realm, and you might still have a way to live."
In Zhou Yu's view, Zhang Ruochen harbored many secrets. If they could be unearthed, it would be more valuable than simply killing him.
Of course, if Zhang Ruochen refused to cooperate, Zhou Yu wouldn't hesitate to eliminate him personally.
Either way, the Paradise Realm would never allow the threat of Zhang Ruochen to continue existing.
Zhang Ruochen sneered coldly. "The Paradise Realm must already hate me to the bone, wishing to grind my bones to dust. And you say you'll give me a way to live? Do you take me for a fool?"
"Moreover, the Paradise Realm has no right to control whether I, Zhang Ruochen, live or die."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu didn't get angry. He shook his head slightly. "Zhang Ruochen, I've already given you a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it. Very well, then I'll take your life!"
With a wave of his hand, the Formation-Suppressing Stone flew out, heading straight for Infant Lord Peak.
At the same time, Zhou Yu produced a sacred scripture radiating divine light, covered in countless light rules and emitting a strong aura of divine power.
"The Radiant Divine Scripture."
Mo Sheng's heart stirred.
This scripture was left behind by a god who cultivated the Way of Light, containing countless light-attribute sacred arts. As long as one's cultivation was sufficient, activating it would unleash a continuous stream of powerful light sacred arts.
Clearly, Zhou Yu intended to personally break through Infant Lord Peak's defenses and then kill Zhang Ruochen.
The Formation-Suppressing Stone revived, instantly suppressing some of the divine patterns on Infant Lord Peak.
This created a vulnerability in Infant Lord Peak's defenses, which were no longer impregnable.
Zhou Yu slowly opened the Radiant Divine Scripture, and a beam of light sacred radiance flew out, transforming into a Radiant Sacred Sword that slashed toward Infant Lord Peak like lightning.
Then, another beam of sacred light flew out, turning into a Radiant Divine Thunder, emitting an extremely terrifying aura of destruction.
"Boom."
Infant Lord Peak's defenses rapidly collapsed, unable to withstand Zhou Yu's attacks.
