Chapter 262

“What the heck… is that?”

Daoist Shouren, at the Heaven and Earth Realm, suddenly raised a hand to shield his eyes.

It was too blinding.

Nine suns were blazing with scorching light.

The ground cracked, the void warped, and rivers evaporated.

The suns were interconnected, and at that moment, countless premium Spirit Stones turned to dust.

All the formation bases were burning.

The vast Dao patterns were being refined in the void, creating the most terrifying sight in this world.

“What is that…”

It wasn’t just Daoist Shouren who had this question; many who were watching the battle couldn’t help but wonder the same.

Though they voiced their concerns, deep inside, they already knew the answer.

That was… death!

They watched countless streams of light rush towards the nine terrifying suns.

Too many faces were filled with horror.

“No!”

“Don’t go!”

“You can’t go!”

“Ancestor, wake up! You can’t go!”

“How could there be such a terrifying formation? Why is there such a horrific formation? Isn’t the Thousand Blade Sect’s formation the Vengeful Sword Array? What’s this formation?”

“It’s him, it’s Lu Ye! Lu Ye set up this formation in such a short time; Ancestor, don’t go!”

But the terrified shouts never reached the ears of those people.

Even if they did, they wouldn’t stop.

It was too enticing, far too enticing.

This time, Lu Ye didn’t let this group shatter his physical body.

Because activating the Nine Suns Burning World Array required some time, and its power was terrifying. He worried that if he wasn’t careful, he might turn to ashes himself.

If Lu Ye didn’t take risks, one could only imagine how intense the killing intent was.

When the first beam of light rushed into the formation, the nine suns suddenly began to spin, forming a massive ring that surrounded the first figure. In the next moment, the blinding white light in the center of the nine suns almost forced everyone to close their eyes.

It was too bright.

A pair of blood-red eyes cried out torrents of tears.

Some even went blind immediately.

But nothing could stop their enthusiasm.

They surged forward, like moths to a flame.

One figure entered, illuminated by the white light, turning into a black shadow, which then transformed to flying ash.

The Emperor’s Banner couldn’t wait any longer and rushed in.

The power of this formation was too terrifying; even souls could turn to ash under this appalling heat. It had to absorb souls quickly.

“Ding ding ding…”

Countless grain-sized space stones fell onto the ground; the gems on the rings and settings turned to dust.

Only the space stones remained.

These things were incredibly hard, like grains of sand, each about the size of a grain of rice, or even smaller.

Some folks came up with wild ideas, thinking if space stones were so tough, could they make a shield from them?

The answer is no!

Because each space stone is a distinct grain; you simply can’t cut or connect them.

A shield wouldn’t work.

However, some people used space stones as projectiles. As long as the force was powerful enough, paired with the indestructible quality of space stones, the lethality was quite terrifying.

Lu Ye could actually do that.

What a splendid firework display!

With a burst of flames, countless strong people turned to ash.

But this scene still couldn’t compare to the one when he wiped out the Demon Clan.

Those nine suns were even larger and hotter than actual sun stars.

In the cosmic starry sky, countless people witnessed those nine burning celestial bodies.

Now that was spectacular.

However, Lu Ye was more than satisfied. Creating such a formation under these limited conditions was quite an achievement!

“Don’t go in! Don’t go in!”

“Ancestor, don’t go in!”

“Senior Brother! Senior Sister!”

“Father!”

“Elder!”

“Don’t go in!”

The Fourth Heaven was filled with wails at this moment.

So many people had bloodshot eyes, tears rolling down their cheeks as they shouted out.

They were filled with hatred!

They hated their friends and family, hated their descendants and elders for choosing to go kill Lu Ye; why didn’t they stop them?

They hated!

They hated Lu Ye for being so ruthless and powerful; they could hardly imagine that a person in the Celestial Realm could accomplish such a feat!

They hated!

They hated their own powerlessness, hating that they could only watch as those near them marched to their deaths!

But no need to worry.

Because their hatred might only be temporary; perhaps before long, they would reunite in the Emperor’s Banner, and then it would be a scene of family joy again.

The premise being they were strong enough.

Because if they weren’t strong enough, their souls would become nourishment fed to the two main souls.

Glub glub…

Glub glub… glub glub… uh…

The Emperor’s Banner glowed with purple energy, streams rushing out.

Chu Ling and Jiang Die’s souls emerged, directly starting to devour souls to help the Emperor’s Banner relieve the pressure.

So many!

So powerful!

The Emperor’s Banner emitted blinding purple light; it was beginning to evolve.

It had no choice; it couldn’t contain it anymore!

Glub glub…

Since Cangmang Mountain wasn’t particularly far away, numerous strong people—regardless of the Heaven and Earth Realm, Reincarnation Realm, or Realm of Domain—followed closely.

Although the nine suns quickly dimmed, they still burned all the strong people to ashes before finally extinguishing.

Lu Ye picked up all the space stones from the ground, glanced at the frowning, plumper-than-usual Chu Ling and Jiang Die, and finally held the persistently swirling purple energy of the Emperor’s Banner in his hands.

“Master, Master, steady now, don’t… don’t shake me… glub glub…”

A childish voice echoed in Lu Ye’s mind.

Oh, can the artifact spirit talk?

Master sounds so nice! Unlike that dog system, which always calls me Host and won’t even say Master.

Don’t worry, Master will definitely raise you plump and chubby.

His figure transformed into a streak of light and quickly vanished.

The world fell silent.

The terrain here had evaporated into a glass-like state due to the horrifying high temperature; the entire ground had turned into a gigantic sheet of glass.

The air was distorted.

Space trembled.

Terrifying heat radiated in all directions, and it seemed the temperature of the entire Fourth Heaven began to rise.

This time, the Northern Cold Lands might get a little warmer.

After Lu Ye completely left, Daoist Shouren’s figure appeared here.

Looking at the ground and the sky, Daoist Shouren was filled with helplessness, but he had to admit that amidst his despair, there was a slight, twisted sense of joy…

He didn’t immediately adjust his mindset.

It’s fine, just relax a bit; that’s good too.

They’re all dead.

He had saved six sects; that was quite commendable. What should he do next?
