Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 619 - 593: Destroying the Formation_1

BOOM!

The moment the Great Dao closed its eyes, the firmament of the Primitive Continent lost all its luster, turning an ashen gray. No sunlight could be seen, suffusing everyone with a sense of oppression.

Suffocating!

Terror!

Despair...

Complex emotions spread through countless Martial Artists, their hearts restless. The higher their cultivation, the more pronounced the negative emotions they manifested. Some powerful Emperors even felt abandoned by Heaven and rejected by the Dao. They looked terrified, their bodies trembling, and their souls shivering uncontrollably.

What has happened?

At this moment, all living beings were filled with doubt.

"The Dao power is disappearing! It seems the Great Dao is condensing a physical body!"

"Soon! We will know its true identity soon. If it’s really ’Him,’ then the forgotten secret should also come to light!"

In the Universal Heaven Observatory of the Qin Saint’s Court, the Old Blind Man, standing under an ancient tree, opened his eyelids. He revealed a pair of eyes infused with multicolored light, gazing towards the Middle Region and muttering to himself. His aged face was full of expectation.

What was he waiting for?

「」

The world is my chessboard, and I am the chess player!

In the palace’s drill grounds, Gui Guzi’s eyes were slightly closed as he descended into a profound state of enlightenment. Centered on him, the heavens and earth within a thousand zhang transformed into a chessboard. Between its nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, it seemed to contain the universe. It was as if two invisible hands were dropping countless black and white chess pieces, each brimming with murderous intent and a solemn, killing atmosphere.

The white pieces were swords!

The black pieces were knives!

The clash of chess strategies was like a battle between sword and knife, a life-or-death struggle. One by one, chess pieces made a grand entrance, only to make a somber exit. It perfectly demonstrated the life of a chess piece—if one couldn’t become a chess player, they would ultimately be abandoned.

And he, Gui Guzi, would become that chess player!

"Demi Immortal Realm, break!"

After an unknown amount of time, Gui Guzi suddenly opened his eyes. His left eye was black, and his right was white. Imbued with the intent of the chessboard’s gridlines, his gaze was profound and sharp, as if he could see through all the secrets of a person’s heart.

BOOM!

Immediately afterward, a terrifying suction spread from his body, devouring all the Spiritual Energy of the Eastern Ancient Domain until none remained. Strands of immortal power drifted high in the sky.

「」

Is he about to break through?

On the battlefield of life and death, Qin Wudao leaped from the ground, transforming into a golden ray of light. He temporarily left the battlefield, turned his head towards the East Border, and revealed a faint smile. Just moments ago, ’Universal Heaven’ had relayed Gui Guzi’s breakthrough to him.

In that case, this battle can be declared over!

Qin Wudao whispered, his gaze cold as ice, gleaming with a chilling light. After Guo Jia, Li Bai, Wang Yangming, and others entered the battle, the alliance of civil and military officials had already gained an absolute advantage.

Both Guo Jia and Huo Qubing were capable of destroying a puppet. But they didn’t do so. This was because the Qin Saint’s Court did not yet have a Demi Immortal presiding over it. Relying solely on Qin Wudao, even if they destroyed the puppets, they would still be unable to breach the Eternal Temple. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Therefore, everyone was waiting for an opportunity.

And now, the time had come!

"Kill!" Qin Wudao roared, imperial light shining brightly in his eyes. Dao power manifested, and he injected all his strength into the Xuanyuan Sword.

BOOM!

The battle sword tore through the air!

The entire world turned golden. A colossal Sword Qi, brilliant as the sun, illuminated the cosmos. Carrying an unparalleled, world-destroying edge, it split heaven and earth, cleaving a Chaos Great Emperor Realm puppet in two. The ease with which he did this made it seem like he was cutting tofu.

For a moment, everyone was aghast!

’Catastrophe’ was dumbfounded!

Emperor Hun Tian’s mouth hung agape, his gaze vacant!

Countless Martial Artists observing the battle from hiding swallowed hard, in utter disbelief!

A single strike!

It cut down the puppet that even Demi Immortal experts couldn’t handle!

"Suppress!"

As everyone was lost in shock, another deep, reverberating voice echoed across the battlefield, shaking heaven and earth.

Dozens of li away, Guo Jia’s black hair flew wildly. He moved as if leisurely strolling through a garden, yet he traversed the battlefield. With a wave of his hands, countless fragments of stone floated into the air, coalescing into a colossal mountain that suppressed a puppet.

"ROAR!"

Crushed beneath the mountain, the puppet writhed madly. Yet, regardless of how much strength it exerted, the colossal mountain on its body remained immovable.

"Watch me smash your metal head into smithereens!"

At this moment, Li Yuanba, carrying the Rumble Drum Golden Hammer, strode forward. Purple electric arcs flickered around his body, CRACKLING as they tore through the Void, as if the God of Thunder had descended. Perhaps due to the prolonged battle, his demonic visage was filled with dense Evil Qi, making him appear extremely ferocious. Arriving before the puppet, he lifted his twin hammers high above his head and smashed them down with a force of billions of catties.

BOOM!

A piercing collision rang out.

The puppet’s head was instantly flattened. The terrifying force even penetrated through the puppet, deep into the ground, ripping open a chasm dozens of li long and immeasurably deep.

"Chaos Azure Lotus Sword, Slash!"

On a more distant part of the battlefield, Li Bai stood upon the Yellow River current manifested by his sword. He took a sip of wine, hung the gourd on his waist, drew his three-foot azure sword, and, in a drunken haze, stabbed forward. This sword, in terms of power or the commotion it caused, was incomparable to his previous Yellow River Sword.

Its only exceptional feature was the azure sword lotus that bloomed!

Like a novice Swordsman who had just glimpsed the Sword Dao!

But it was this very commonplace, ordinary sword strike that easily pierced the puppet.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Subsequently, three more explosions sounded. Dong Zhongshu, Wang Yangming, and Wang Xizhi also successfully destroyed the puppets they were battling.

In the blink of an eye, six of the eight imposing, heaven-defying Great Emperor Realm puppets from the Eight-Gui Array were destroyed, leaving only two barely clinging on.

"Slash!"

"Exterminate!"

Soon after, the final two puppets were also destroyed by Han Xin and Huo Qubing.

With the puppets lost, the flaws in the Eight-Gui Array were completely exposed, evident even to Martial Artists who knew nothing of formations.

"Shatter!" Qin Wudao whispered, unleashing another wave of Sword Qi.

BANG!

A deafening crash resounded.

This massive formation, spanning ten thousand li, shattered into myriad pieces, dissolving into innumerable specks of light in the sky. With the formation’s destruction, the eight colossal mountains that had stood for millennia also collapsed instantly, sending rubble flying and scattering dust everywhere.

"Hiss! They actually succeeded!"

"To overcome the strong with the weak, the combat prowess of the Qin Dynasty’s officials is truly terrifying!"

"I wonder if the Eternal Temple has any trump cards left. If not, I’m afraid this battle will end in victory for the Qin Saint’s Court!"

"Don’t speak too soon. The Demi Immortal battle hasn’t even begun..."

All the onlooking Martial Artists were buzzing with discussion.

"Master, what should we do now?" Emperor Hun Tian, hovering anxiously in midair, hastily asked via spiritual transmission.

If Qin Wudao were allowed to break the Eight-Gui Array, the Qin Saint’s Court’s forces would advance directly to the Endless Cliff. With no natural barriers left to defend, they would lose all room for maneuver.

’Catastrophe’ frowned. Should they fight or not?

At this moment, a white pillar of light surged skyward from the eastern lands. A vast wave of immortal power spread out, instantly sweeping across the entire continent and causing countless people to feel immense pressure.

"’Catastrophe’s’ expression changed dramatically. "Demi Immortal! Someone from the Qin Saint’s Court has broken through to the Semi-Immortal Realm!" Without hesitation, he roared, "Battle!"
