Chapter 1923 Suppression, Chaos!
"At that time..."
He can freely utilize the cultivators of this world to assist his cultivation.
To help your spiritual treasure advance and return to its peak as soon as possible.
Even surpassing the peak.
Moreover, there is no treasure in this world that can threaten him!
He had already taken back the countless creatures of the Purgatory Clan, making them one of his trump cards;
The Black Tiger Shark Clan was merely a temporary bargaining chip for him to collect resources and use temporarily; it was completely insignificant.
Moreover, he has already broken through to the Void Refinement Realm, so even if the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan is wiped out, it won't affect his emotions in the slightest.
It will not threaten his safety.
Therefore, Sha Minghong was not worried at all that dragging things out would be disadvantageous to him.
On the contrary, they wished the standoff could last longer so that Cheng Buzheng's fundamental laws could be completely exhausted.
Before he could think any further...
The vast, boundless blue sky river, carrying the majestic fluctuations of laws, traversed the void and pressed down upon him.
The deep blue river surged, containing a power to destroy everything.
Wherever it passed, the void froze and the laws trembled.
It was as if they wanted to freeze and crush him completely.
Seeing this scene,
Sha Minghong dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Although he had recovered to the Void Refinement Realm and possessed profound foundations, Cheng Buzheng was by no means weak.
In particular, Cheng Buzheng's understanding of the laws has broken through to the Law Rune Realm.
With the added power of the [Heaven and Earth Reversal Heavenly River Formation], its strength should not be underestimated.
therefore,
In order to protect himself, he immediately unleashed the [Purgatory Annihilation Millstone] again, activating it with all his might to resist the suppression of the Azure Sky River.
Unless, of course, Sha Minghong is willing to use the very essence of the laws, risking a drop in his cultivation level, to break the formation with all his might.
otherwise!
He could only be trapped within the [Heaven and Earth Reversal Heavenly River Formation], forced into a passive defensive posture.
Waiting for the moment when Cheng Buzheng's fundamental laws are completely exhausted!
Just as Shark Minghong was completely transferred into the [Heaven and Earth Reversal Heavenly River Array], and Cheng Buzheng's avatar successfully transferred control of the array to his main body...
Outside the great formation,
Cheng Buzheng's avatar, standing in the void, nodded slightly towards a certain direction of the great formation.
It seemed to be sending a signal to someone.
Or perhaps they are confirming something.
Then,
He lightly touched the air with his feet, a faint chaotic light emanating from his body. In an instant, his figure transformed into a stream of light and vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace.
Only the vast and boundless blue sky river remained, stretching across the void, continuing to suppress Shark Minghong within the great formation.
······
The story has two sides.
Just as Cheng Buzheng's avatar, in pursuit of Shark Minghong, transformed into a rainbow of light and vanished into the horizon...
Within Zhenhai Immortal City, countless anxious and fearful people surged into the streets.
As if an invisible hand had pressed the pause button, everyone froze for a moment.
The deathly silence lasted only a moment.
Then,
The clamor of discussions, exclamations, and speculations, like a disturbed beehive, exploded in every street and every building of the city, converging into a sea of buzzing sound.
In a teahouse in the eastern part of the city.
A streak of light that had been hurtling forward suddenly came to a halt, revealing a pure white, exquisitely designed flying boat that hovered in mid-air.
On the flying boat, two figures stood side by side, their Nascent Soul Realm auras as deep and vast as the sea, causing the cultivators below to turn their heads and give way.
Among them, the middle-aged cultivator, dressed in a magnificent gold-plated battle robe and with a dignified face, had a furrowed brow.
His gaze was fixed on the almost invisible trail of light on the distant horizon, and he spoke hesitantly:
"That rainbow light just now..."
Its aura was vast and majestic, with a hidden, towering wave accompanying it.
Judging from its direction and imposing presence, could it be the guild master's dharma body?
Beside him, an elderly man dressed in a simple gray robe, with an even more composed demeanor, slowly nodded, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his cloudy eyes:
"Nine times out of ten."
That magnificent surge of energy was undeniable.
"So that's how it is..."
The middle-aged man in the gilded battle robe lowered his voice, his tone filled with disbelief.
"The guild leader...didn't perish in the previous attack?"
"Yes, very likely."
The gray-robed old man stroked his long beard and replied,
"Furthermore, judging from the direction and urgency in which the guild leader's avatar fled, he must have locked onto the attacker's trail."
That's why they didn't hesitate to traverse the entire sky, relentlessly pursuing and killing him.
"Makes sense!"
The middle-aged Nascent Soul True Monarch's expression grew increasingly solemn; his gilded battle robe fluttered and rustled even without wind.
"Since the chairman is present and has already taken action, the situation may not have collapsed to this extent."
"So...should we still evacuate according to the original plan?"
The gray-robed old man remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping across the still chaotic street below.
He then looked again at the shockingly huge crater at the headquarters of the Cultivator Association in the distance, and slowly shook his head:
"Although the guild leader has appeared, the powerful enemy was able to shatter a corner of the Immortal City, forcing the guild leader's avatar to personally take action to pursue them. Their strength must be terrifying."
At this moment, the Immortal City's defenses are weak, making it its most chaotic and vulnerable time.
In case of any unforeseen circumstances, or if the attacker has a backup plan...
Staying here is too risky.
He paused, then spoke with absolute certainty:
Just in case, let's leave this place of trouble first!
It's not too late to come back after the chairman returns and the situation settles down.
Anyway, our foundation and businesses are all in this city, so even if we can't run away, we can't hide.
Right now, avoiding direct confrontation is the best strategy.
"What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist!"
The last trace of hesitation in the eyes of the middle-aged Nascent Soul True Monarch vanished, and he nodded emphatically.
"go!"
As soon as the words fell...
The white jade flying boat flashed with light, then without hesitation, transformed into a streak of light and sped off towards the outskirts of the city.
It quickly disappeared into the clouds on the horizon.
at the same time,
In the southwest of Zhenhai Immortal City, there is a narrow and crowded street.
Two young cultivators were swept forward by the crowd. Although their Foundation Establishment realm aura was not top-tier, it was still quite remarkable.
suddenly,
The two stopped simultaneously, broke away from the crowd, and slipped into the shadows under the eaves of a building.
The young man on the left, dressed in a cloud-white robe and with a gentle face, quickly glanced at the still noisy and surging crowd, which had paused slightly due to the disappearance of the rainbow light above.
His lips moved slightly, and a condensed telepathic message was quietly transmitted to the black-robed youth beside him:
"Brother!"
Judging from this situation, the evil star that caused the city's collapse seems to have been lured away, and the immortal city is temporarily safe.
"Should we... still sneak out of the city as originally planned?"
Upon hearing this,
The black-robed youth, with a cold expression and a sharp glint in his eyes, remained silent for a few moments.
A calmer, even slightly fervent, voice transmission rang out:
"No, the plan has changed."
“Brother Yun, think about it carefully.”
The headquarters of the Cultivator Association was completely obliterated by that earth-shattering formation, and of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul experts who remained, less than one in ten survived.
Now, even the chairman personally chased after them out of the city for a life-or-death battle.
What else is there in this majestic Sea-Suppressing Immortal City, perched atop the endless sea?
He spoke faster, with an barely suppressed excitement:
"The order has collapsed, and the strong are in a vacuum!"
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us brothers.
Do not,
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Those shops and warehouses that are usually protected by multiple arrays and overseen by high-level cultivators...
Now it's like a shelled clam, plump and tempting!
"As long as luck isn't too bad, if we manage to sneak into a few places amidst the chaos, let alone the resources you and I need to break through to the Golden Core Realm..."
Even if it's a gamble, it's not impossible to obtain the resources for the Nascent Soul stage!
At worst, we could gather enough rare and precious materials to push our cultivation to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.
It's by no means difficult!
The black-robed youth suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed intently on the white-robed youth who looked utterly shocked:
"Should we seize this fleeting opportunity and strive for a bright future?"
Or should I, like those mediocre people outside, drift with the tide, flee the city, and continue living a precarious life, risking my life for a few spirit stones?
"Brother Yun, make your choice!"
To fight or to retreat?
Hearing this,
The young man in the white robe felt a flush rise to his face, and his breathing became heavier.
The hesitation and fear in his eyes lasted only a moment before being completely replaced by a ruthless and resolute determination, as if he had already decided to burn his boats.
On the path of cultivation, one slow step leads to another slow step after another.
Such an opportunity may only come once in a lifetime!
"Fight!"
He practically spat out the word through gritted teeth, his eyes turning as fierce as a hungry wolf.
"Without a fortuitous encounter, given our aptitude and resources, reaching the peak of Foundation Establishment is merely a pipe dream."
The Golden Elixir is even more unattainable!
The opportunity is right in front of me; if I don't seize it now, I will regret it for the rest of my life!
"Even if I die and my soul perishes, I will have no regrets?"
The young man in the black robe pressed him for answers.
"I will never regret it!"
The white-robed youth, Murong Yun, spoke with unwavering resolve, each word carrying immense weight.
"it is good!
"Truly worthy of being a member of the Murong family!"
The young man in black robes (Murong Feng) patted his cousin (Murong Yun) heavily on the shoulder, his eyes flashing with approval and determination.
"In that case, there's no time to lose!"
This street is mostly lined with small shops owned by small families and independent practitioners.
"We have limited resources; we can't waste our time here."
Murong Yun nodded immediately, but then frowned and transmitted his voice:
“What my cousin said is absolutely right.”
But the real fat sheep, such as large merchant alliances like the [Treasure Pagoda] and the [Myriad Laws Pavilion], are too far away from here.
By the time we get there, we probably won't even have a sip of soup left.
Besides, the streets are currently overcrowded, and using stealth would attract too much attention, making travel too slow.
You're right.
A calculating glint flashed in Murong Feng's eyes.
"But don't forget, the 'Baichuan Lane' we are in now is only three streets away from the 'Baiyi Street' in the west of the city!"
Those who can establish themselves and open shops on Baiyi Street are all masters or grandmasters who have cultivated the various arts of immortal cultivation to a high level.
His wealth far exceeds that of ordinary shops!
His voice was lower, yet more alluring:
"The sudden change in the Immortal City meant that even if they evacuated, the most precious treasures and materials they could take with them were the ones they had taken with them."
Besides,
Storage bags have limited space.
Those vast quantities of supplies, though of slightly lower value but still invaluable to us, they certainly won't be able to take much with them!
"As long as we're quick enough, we can break through the protective formations of one or two shops, go in, and loot them..."
"With this, we might be able to gather most of what we need to form our core!"
With this remark,
Murong Yun's breath hitched, his eyes brimming with greed and urgency.
"My cousin's insight is brilliant!"
Without further ado, let's head over there!
If we're too late, someone else might beat us to it!
"rest assured."
A cold smile curved at the corner of Murong Feng's lips.
"Those who can open shops on Baiyi Street must have at least a third-tier protective formation."
An ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, without special methods to break the formation, might not be able to break it in one or two hours.
However, we are different.
Murong Yun was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized what was going on and excitedly transmitted his voice:
"Brother, are you referring to... the [Restriction-Breaking Talisman] we obtained in that ancient cultivator's abode last time?"
"Not bad!"
Murong Feng nodded emphatically, his hand already subtly resting on a specially made storage pouch at his waist.
"That fourth-tier [Minor Barrier-Breaking Talisman] is specifically designed to break all kinds of third-tier and lower formations and restrictions. It is extremely powerful and was prepared for this very opportunity!"
With it, we don't need a futile assault; we can go straight into the treasure vault!
The two looked at each other and saw the flame burning in each other's eyes.
"go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Murong Feng and Murong Yun moved swiftly.
Like two ghostly shadows, they no longer surged towards the city gate with the main current, but instead moved against the now sparser crowd.
Using their familiarity with the terrain, they moved swiftly through the alleys and under the eaves, their target the place that represented wealth and opportunity—
Baiyi Street!
Similar scenarios...
Throughout the vast Zhenhai Immortal City, it was like water droplets thrown into boiling oil, constantly exploding and unfolding.
The crowds that had initially surged towards the city gate paused and hesitated for a moment...
Most continued to surge out of the city.
But there is always a small group of people who, like sharks that have smelled blood, quietly break away from the mainstream.
They acted alone or in small groups, tacitly concealing their presence, changing direction, and greedily casting their gazes toward the shops and buildings on both sides of the street, their doors tightly shut and their array of light curtains flickering dimly.
Upon closer inspection...
Ninety-nine percent of these cultivators who dared to go against the tide and harbored ulterior motives were below the Golden Core realm.
They may have been stuck in a bottleneck for many years.
Or perhaps they came from a poor family with limited resources.
This "golden opportunity" presented by the collapse of order ignited the long-suppressed fire of greed and adventure in their hearts.
The few Golden Core cultivators who remained, with equally gleaming eyes, mostly had aged faces and were surrounded by a faint aura of decline.
Obviously.
Their lifespans were nearing their end, and the path ahead was almost completely cut off.
This sudden chaos was no longer a crisis for them.
Instead, it is a last-ditch effort to seize that slim chance of forming a Nascent Soul, or a "heaven-sent opportunity" to acquire resources for future generations!
Even if it means death and the loss of one's spiritual essence, it is better than sitting idly in a cave waiting to die.
confusion!
It spread rapidly throughout the Immortal City like a plague.
At first, it was just sporadic probing, attacking some small shops that seemed to have weak defenses.
As the first array's light barrier shattered under the bombardment of several magical artifacts, and as the first wave of cultivators rushed into the shop in ecstasy to loot...
The last shackles of order seemed to have been completely broken.
"boom!"
"Snap—!"
"The formation has been broken! Charge in!"
"Get out of my way! The treasure here is mine!"
"ah--!
"You despicable scoundrel, how dare you launch a sneak attack!"
……
A dazzling array of magical light erupted everywhere, accompanied by the ear-piercing screech of colliding magical artifacts, angry roars, shrill screams, and triumphant laughter...
Various voices intertwined,
Accompanied by an increasingly strong stench of blood and chaotic, turbulent fluctuations of spiritual energy,
