Within a single sword technique, Chu Kuangren destroyed the Yinyang Lightning and Great Earthen Prison Formation altogether.
He then slowly paced towards the Primeval Daoist Gem.
The Formation Daoist immediately barked, "Activate the offensive formation!"
The Great Earthen Prison was meant to entrap a person. However, the Formation Daoist still had an offensive formation prepared. That was his true trump card!
The Formation Daoist hurled a formation compass into the air.
The cultivators atop the stone pillar let out a low grunt, followed by a series of offensive spiritual power attacks.
However, it was not Chu Kuangren whom they were targeting but the formation compass.
As their spiritual powers were injected into the formation compass, it formed a massive spiritual power whirlpool that unleashed a chilling ripple of energy. With that, everything within thousands of kilometers shook.
"Oh, is this a formation that's created from your combined spiritual powers? Now that's interesting."
Chu Kuangren grinned.
"Attack!"
The Formation Daoist yelled. The formation compass abruptly unleashed a ray of terrifying spiritual powers towards Chu Kuangren.
With a clang, the Self Descendant Sword unsheathed itself.
A stream of sword rays struck through the attack, and the impact caused the water in the Ancient Daoist Lake to crash around violently.
"Everyone, do your best to unleash the Beckoning Celestial Punishment Formation!"
The Formation Daoist roared.
The cultivators let out a loud battle roar, unleashing a boundless stream of spiritual powers into the formation compass.
The formation compass shone mythically with bright runes before summoning an enormous golden pillar that rose toward Chu Kuangren.
It was a terrifying attack as it combined the power of more than one thousand sky-prides at the scene.
In the face of such a display of power, Chu Kuangren finally showed signs of taking this battle seriously. "I'll show you what true power looks like."
Chu Kuangren channeled his spiritual powers to merge the powers of all three Daoist Physiques at once, which manifested into an enormous Divine Ferocious Avatar!
The Divine Ferocious Avatar shrieked furiously as it launched its fist towards the enormous spiritual power pillar.
Instantly, the mountains began to crumble.
The impact was like the tide, blowing the surrounding clouds wave after wave and cleared the skies throughout the realm.
While the spiritual power pillar and the Divine Ferocious Avatar were still fighting it out, a new form of majestic Daoist Rhymes appeared around Chu Kuangren.
It was the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes!
The glorious emergence of the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes shook everyone at the scene, and they felt a numbing sensation over their scalp.
With the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes' support, the power of the Divine Ferocious Avatar grew multifold!
The frightening power from the Divine Ferocious Avatar's fist shattered the light pillar before downing the floating formation compass.
"That's not good. We need to increase our power!"
The Formation Daoist was horrified. At that moment, he could feel his heart racing.
A single person could hold himself off so well against all the sky-prides at the scene.
In fact, he had even managed to outshine them.
Such power made the Formation Daoist fearful.
If it were not for all of the sky-prides here, the Formation Daoist would not dare to face Chu Kuangren in a solo battle even with a much better mega formation.
Chu Kuangren's combat strength had reached an incomprehensible state.
"Fiery Dragon Phoenix Saber!"
Atop a stone pillar not far away, Bai Hongyu retrieved her Emperor's Weapon!
With the help from her Emperor's Weapon, her spiritual powers became much more powerful.
The rest of the sky-prides had resorted to all sorts of measures to enhance their spiritual powers as well. Some of them revealed their Boundary Emperor's Weapon, some swallowed a handful of medicinal pills, whereas some relied on their secret techniques…
As a more majestic form of spiritual powers injected into the formation compass, it unleashed a spiritual power pillar that was even more glorious than before.
The frightening amount of energy caused the Divine Ferocious Avatar to shudder violently as the power of Chu Kuangren's Three Great Daoist Physiques began to show signs of crumbling. As such, the Divine Ferocious Avatar was forced to retreat.
That scene made many sky-prides excited.
"We've made progress!"
"We can win! We can definitely win this fight!"
The Formation Daoist, Wang Quan, Bai Hongyu, and others were overjoyed.
On a distant peak, Nangong Huang, Murong Xuan, and the others were watching the battle on the Ancient Daoist Lake. When they saw the Divine Ferocious avatar about to fall, they got nervous.
"This is not good. It looks like our Sect Leader is about to get defeated."
"Holy hell, these b*stards have surely gone the extra mile to defeat our Sect Leader by preparing such a formation."
"We can't let this go on any longer. Murong Xuan, let's go and help."
Shang Qingxue said as she became restless.
At that instance, Lan Yu leaped toward them to stop them from advancing. "Master has said that we're only allowed to watch and not interfere."
Chi Yue could not help but frown. "Brother Chu is in great danger. How can you stay so calm? Aren't you worried at all?"
Even Chi Yue, a person who had always looked indifferent from the outside, was having trouble sitting still. Yet, Lan Yu had managed to remain calm since the beginning.
"Danger?" Lan Yu sneered. "This motley crowd still has a long way to go before they're capable of putting Master in danger."
Lan Yu had stood by Chu Kuangren the longest. In fact, she had almost always been by Chu Kuangren's side ever since the beginning of his cultivation journey.
She knew that this was not a threatening situation for Chu Kuangren at all.
At the Ancient Daoist Lake.
It seemed like Chu Kuangren's Divine Ferocious Avatar could not hold itself any longer.
However, Chu Kuangren was undisturbed. In fact, he was even smiling away. "Is this your absolute limit? If it is, you're way too unprepared to fight me!"
Chu Kuangren leaped forward with a burst of magnificent aura and unleashed the glorious power of his Seven Supreme Foundation Levels. A stream of Emperor qi flowed out of his spiritual mound and fused with his Divine Ferocious Avatar.
Emperor qi was the source of an Emperor's power!
Even if it was just one stream, the Divine Ferocious Avatar's power was multiplied by several folds, and an overwhelming Emperor's Aura erupted!
In a raging roar, the Divine Ferocious Altar unleashed yet another fist qi!
With the combination of Chu Kuangren's Daoist Physiques' energy and the Heavenly Punishment Daoist Rhymes, Emperor qi power shattered the spiritual qi pillar in a split second and slammed onto the formation compass.
With a deafening explosion, the formation compass broke into pieces!
The sky-prides who were relentlessly injecting their spiritual powers suffered from massive amounts of backlash and sustained grave injuries.
Even strong outlawed sky-prides like Wang Quan and Bai Hongyu helplessly spat mouthfuls of blood.
Those who were weaker had their flesh and bones ripped apart as they exploded into clouds of blood mist!
In a short instance, blood mists were blooming, like a garden of roses, above dozens of stone pillars.
Up to a thousand sky-prides were either left injured or dead. It was a devastating scene.
Chu Kuangren stood in his place, his white clothes pristine as it was while the Divine Ferocious Avatar stood majestically behind him.
Those who survived were terrified at the scene.
"Emperor qi! He's capable of cultivating a stream of Emperor qi!"
"D*mn it. He has managed to do so without becoming an Emperor! His combat strength is indeed frightening."
"He's too strong!"
"We've lost the battle again…"
Wang Quan, Bai Hongyu, and the outlawed sky-prides were gravely disappointed.
The combined forces of a thousand sky-prides had failed to defeat Chu Kuangren. Nay, it did not even manage to scratch him.
What a drastic difference in abilities.
It was at this moment that many sky-prides' Daoist cores were destroyed by Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren's name would now be associated with a lifetime's worth of trauma for them.
"All of you are too weak. Even after you've combined your energies, I've still managed to outshine all of you… in a single attack!"
Chu Kuangren said calmly.
In the distance, Leng Ningyu and Chi Yue were dumbfounded.
After such a crushing defeat, the remaining survivors still had to endure a gruesome mockery.
At the thought of that, they could only stare at the survivors in pity.
