Chapter 411 - Aren’t You Guys Coming In, The Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation’s
Chapter 411: Aren’t You Guys Coming In, The Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation’s Strangeness
Multiple surges of energy erupted at once!
The tremendous force from the impact caused the Black Heaven Sword Formation to rumble violently. Together, the sword qi, solar and lunar energy, and the Sage Ruler Weapons’ energy erupted and spread across the land as a horrifying shockwave.
The ones to bear the full blow of that incoming shockwaves were the Graylord Sage, as well as Solar and Lunar Sages. That burst of energy immediately blasted them off their feet.
Even Great Sages like them suffered serious injuries.
Spit…
The Graylord Sage spewed a mouthful of blood as he was blown a few hundred meters away.
Meanwhile, both Solar and Lunar Sages crashed into a nearby mountain.
Although the Heavenly Emperor Sage Li did not suffer major injuries, multiple cracks appeared on the Sage Ruler Weapon that he used to attack the sword formation…
The other Sages were injured as well.
The same could be said for the Sages who did not attack the sword formation, too.
“We did it!”
A Sage from the Linghu clan cheered.
The sword formation, which heavily absorbed all the Great Sages’ powerful attacks, was finally destroyed. Countless swords fell from the sky and into the clouds beneath.
The layer of sword qi surrounding the Black Heaven Sect was broken!
“Great!”
“Is this what the so-called Black Heaven Sword Formation can offer? Now that this sword formation has been destroyed, let’s see how they can defend against our attacks.”
The Sages in the coalition army said cheerfully.
However, they could not help but frown a little.
The Black Heaven Sword Formation was broken through, but the thick layer of clouds and mist surrounding the sect were still unaffected.
The Black Heaven Sect remained hidden among the clouds and mists, and it was nowhere to be seen.
There were neither traces of movement nor any attacks from the Black Heaven Sect disciples.
Clang…
At that moment, guqin music echoed through the clouds and mists.
The Sages’ expression dropped.
After all, they knew that guqin music was among Chu Kuangren’s well-known offensive techniques. It was so powerful that it put the Heaven Chord Sect, which specialized in guqin Daoist Techniques, to shame.
“Watch out for his guqin music.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve come prepared.”
One of the Sages from the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands then took out a gigantic black rock with a smooth surface and Daoist Rhymes swirling around it.
“This is a Sound Absorbing ore! I specially prepared it to deal with Chu Kuangrens guqin music. This ore can absorb the energy in the sound waves and greatly reduce the power of Chu Kuangren’s guqin music,” that Sage said proudly.
“Awesome.”
“Ha, well done! Let’s see how Chu Kuangren will react, then.”
The crowd of Sages and the millions of soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Chu Kuangren’s guqin music attacks were no joke. It could kill anyone below the level of a Great Sage, so Sages were not in the clear either.
If he were to exert the full power of that attack, it would even wipe out at least one-third of a great army that had millions of elite infantry.
The guqin music continued to echo in the cloud mists.
Its melody was majestic and beautifully fascinating.
Despite that, everyone eventually noticed that something was off.
The guqin music was not lethal at all!
Even the effect of the Sound Absorption ore failed to trigger because the power of that guqin music was insufficient to activate it.
Besides its pleasant melody, that guqin music was just like any other one out there.
“What’s going on?”
“What is Chu Kuangren up to this time?!”
“Why is this guqin music not lethal at all?”
Just as everyone was puzzled, the guqin music suddenly stopped.
“Everyone, the song has already ended. Aren’t you guys going to come in?”
Chu Kuangren’s voice came from within the clouds mists.
It was as if they could hear a smile in his voice.
That single tune had scared the million-cultivator army so much that they dared not move. This made Graylord Sage, Solar and Lunar Sages, and the other Sages’ faces turned grim.
“Chu Kuangren, stop fooling around.”
“That’s right. Why don’t you come and fight us right now?”
“Heh…”
Amidst the cloud mist, Chu Kuangren chuckled.
Nothing happened after that.
“Everyone, let’s order some men to scout a path ahead first.”
Graylord Sage said after some careful thought. Following that, he selected ten thousand men from the coalition army and appointed a Sage as their leader to scout a path ahead.
The ten thousand fully-armed men entered the cloud mists while using a communication compass to maintain communication with the rest of the people.
However, screams were soon heard from the communication compass.
“S-stay away!”
“I-I cannot move.”
Numerous screams came bouts after bouts through the communication compass.
Graylord Sage’s expression changed.
“What’s the matter? Situation report, now!”
“We’ve been ambushed…”
That was the last thing they heard from the communication compass.
Everything returned to silence right after.
No matter how Graylord Sage attempted to call out, the ten thousand cultivators and the Sage were all wiped out within a few seconds after the first scream was heard!
“D*mn it. What the h*ll is hidden inside this cloud mist?!”
Graylord Sage and others silently cursed.
Everyone looked at the cloud mists with immense horror. To them, it was as if the harmless cloud mists had transformed into a terrifying beast.
“That Black Heaven Sword Formation is not Chu Kuangren’s secret weapon it seems. I’m afraid it’s this cloud mist instead. D*mn, what the hell is this?”
Everyone was a bit helpless by then.
At least the sword formation earlier was visible.
Yet with this cloud mist, they knew nothing. That fact alone made the cloud mists seem even more frightening than anything else.
Some guessed that the cloud mists were part of a certain formation technique, and they even brought formation technique experts to take a look. However, it was no use.
After all, the Astonishing Cloud of Seas Formation was an Emperor-grade formation, which was an extremely uncommon formation technique. Without the formation blueprints, the Formation Masters in Firmament Star these days would not be able to understand the inner workings of this formation technique, let alone break through it.
“Send someone in again!” Graylord Sage gritted his teeth and ordered.
This time, he sent in another thirty thousand men and three Sages. They even used a Vision Transmitting Rock to keep in contact the whole time. That rock was used to transmit the vision of what was happening inside the cloud mists, allowing the people outside to observe what was happening live.
A light display screen appeared before the whole army.
On it was the situation within the cloud mists.
The three Sages could be seen leading thirty thousand men into the cloud mists. In the beginning, the surroundings inside were ordinary-looking mountains and forests. There was nothing strange about the situation.
Despite this, everyone did not dare to rush in impatiently.
The moment they arrived at a vast mountain valley, everyone including the Sages suddenly stopped walking. A look of horror washed over their faces.
“We can’t move? Why can’t we move?”
“What the hell is going on?!”
Thousands of cultivators stood still in the valley, unable to move.
Only the Sages could move but with much difficulty.
At that moment, a rumbling noise came from the end of the valley as a giant boulder rolled down towards them.
Surges of Daoist Rhymes were swirling around that boulder, and it contained a horrifying wave of energy. In fact, it was not a real boulder but a materialization from some sort of spiritual qi.
“It’s heading towards us. Get out of the way!”
“We can’t even move!”
Thousands of cultivators let out terror-filled shrieks repeated continuously.
Due to the Sages’ strength, the three of them were able to struggle and break free from the restraints of that mysterious energy within the valley, dodging the boulder.
However, the remaining cultivators were not that lucky.
Wherever the boulder rolled through, screams continued.
One by one, the cultivators were all crushed into a pile of flesh.
The thirty thousand cultivators were all wiped out within a few seconds!
The remaining three Sages gulped as they witnessed that scene in horror. After that, they looked at each other before they decided to leave the area as fast as they could.
Yet, just when they were about to leave, countless surges of sword qi suddenly shot out from the surrounding cloud mists and had them trapped where they stood.
A terrifying sword shadow then came crashing down upon them. Its turbulent and domineering Daoist Rhyme instantly locked onto the whole area that the three Sages were in, killing them instantly as it fell!
