Asura Mad Emperor

At this moment, countless pale cyan brilliance rose from the city walls, soaring upwards, and gradually converging in the sky to form a giant cyan sword.

Qinchuan's expression turned grim, and with a cold snort, he said, "Hmph, just been waiting for you."

During his conversation with Yu Chouwu, Qinchuan had been cautious, using his Innate Pupils to scout the surroundings and discover that the Chou Family was imprisoned in the Northern Desolate City.

At that time, he had already found that there was a Great Formation hidden within this city.

This Sword Array was known as the Divine Annihilating Sword Formation, also called the God-Slaying Sword Formation.

It was a Sword Array created by the mighty ones of the Underworld during the great war between the Divine Realm and the Underworld in ancient times, aimed against the powers of the Divine Realm.

In the past, when Ling'er died, Qinchuan sought to retrieve her True Spirit and thus broke into the Underworld, fighting against many great powers there. No one in the Underworld could match Qinchuan, and it was only by activating this God-Slaying Sword Formation that they halted his steps.

Therefore, Qinchuan was all too familiar with this Sword Array.

Afterward, nobody knew how this Sword Array had spread out from the Underworld.

The Northern Desolate City had indeed set up the God-Slaying Sword Formation, but it was a simplified version of the Array.

The original God-Slaying Sword Formation, once activated, would gather the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth from ten thousand miles around and condense 9,999 golden God-Slaying Swords within the Formation. With a thousand God-Slaying Swords unleashed, the heavens and the earth would change color.

The God-Slaying Sword Formation arranged by the Sun Family not only formed cyan swords instead of golden ones but also only formed a single sword, which couldn't pose a threat to Qinchuan at all.

But the other people in the Northern Desolate City, who had never seen such a force, dared not continue spectating and scattered far away, hiding outside the city walls and watching from a distance to see how Qinchuan would resolve this calamity.

And many had already sentenced Qinchuan to death in their hearts!

"Below the Killing Formation, no one can survive! This kid is doomed!"

Qinchuan's gaze penetrated the empty streets and alleys, reaching the end of the street where the City Lord's Mansion stood.

The City Lord's Mansion was glowing with golden light, clearly where the eye of the God-Slaying Sword Formation was located. With his ability, he could disperse the eye of the Formation within ten breaths, and then the Formation would break without attacking.

However, he had Chou Wu at his side and must not be disturbed, so he had no intention of dispersing the eye of the Formation.

"It seems the lesson just now did not make you learn, Formations are useless against me! A single punch can break your Military Formation, and a single move can break your God-Slaying Sword Formation!"

The crowd shook their heads; they had all witnessed Qinchuan's prowess and had no doubt about his talent.

However, this Great Formation was far from comparable to the Military Formation; even with the Peak of the Nine Layers Meridian Opening cultivation level, it was exceedingly difficult to survive in the Formation, let alone break it with a single move.

Qinchuan smirked, and then the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone and the Spring and Autumn Brush emerged from around him.

"Master, you finally let me out!"

Qinchuan had previously kept the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone and the Spring and Autumn Brush within Black Lotus, much to the distress of the two little ones, who now clamored in unison the moment they saw the light of day.

The two Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts were even circling around Qinchuan, with a look of grievance, "Master, you can't lock us up in that little dark room again!"

But in the next moment, the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone and the Spring and Autumn Brush saw the situation around them and were immediately frightened.

Both artifacts had evolved from stationery treasures and were Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts not suited for combat. However, aside from these two little ones, the only handy Dao Artifact Qinchuan had was the Divine Cauldron beneath the Prison Mountain drunkard.

However, the Divine Cauldron was excessively flamboyant, and Qinchuan usually did not use it casually.

The Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone, seeing the Sharp Sword hanging overhead, immediately started yelling, "Oh my god, Master, this place is terrifying! I want to go back to the little dark room!"

As it spoke, the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone tried to burrow into Qinchuan's embrace, but it couldn't enter Qinchuan's Black Lotus on its own initiative. The Spring and Autumn Brush also trembled next to Qinchuan's arm, too afraid to move.

Qinchuan's face darkened, and he said with a hand on his forehead, "You two have completely lost face for me."

Then he grabbed the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone, indifferent to its cries, and tossed it above Chou Wu's head.

"After all, it is a Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact, this damaged formation shouldn't be able to harm you, protect him well, and consider it a great achievement," he said.

Despite its fear, the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone, upon hearing this, still trembled as it protected above Chou Wu's head.

The onlookers, though far from the center, still recognized the Heavenly Metamorphosis Inkstone and the Spring and Autumn Brush when Qinchuan pulled them out.

"Look, those are Supreme Dao Artifacts! And there are two of them!"

At that moment, the same thought occurred to everyone, "Could it be, he really can break through...?"

But someone with keen eyes immediately noticed something was wrong and spoke up to remind everyone, "No, the Dao and Qi are not yet perfected, these are only two Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts."

The people who had just kindled a glimmer of hope all shook their heads in disappointment.

"What a pity, if they were two Supreme Dao Artifacts, perhaps he could really break the formation; but with Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts, it's difficult!"

Qinchuan held the Spring and Autumn Brush and glanced disdainfully at the God-Slaying Sword above his head.

"Break!"

The Spring and Autumn Brush seemed to feel Qinchuan's brimming intent to battle as well and stood mighty and fearless, with Dao and Qi surging forth from its tip.

The condensed God-Slaying Sword also seemed to sense the strong fighting spirit emanating from Qinchuan, as its blade shone brightly and unleashed waves of Sword Intent, locking onto Qinchuan.

The God-Slaying Sword whistled down, stabbing towards Qinchuan.

Qinchuan swung his great hand, and the Dao and Qi generated by the Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact followed his will, converging into a single point from the sky and directly assaulting the God-Slaying Sword.

"Bang!"

When the two collided, neither could overcome the other, and the confrontation between the sword and the brush reached a deadlock.

"Hmph, it seems I've underestimated you!"

The God-Slaying Sword turned out to be even stronger than Qinchuan had anticipated, but he remained undaunted, releasing a trace of the Great Emperor's Divine Soul from his sea of consciousness, infusing it into the Spring and Autumn Brush.

"Suppress!"

With the immense power of the Asura Great Emperor, the God-Slaying Sword was immediately shaken by the Spring and Autumn Brush, and the originally condensed blade became somewhat dispersed under this force, its blue body turning slightly transparent.

"What?"

"The Divine Sword is about to disperse!"

"What kind of demon is this? Breaking the formation with mere physical strength in the Meridian Opening Realm! Even with a Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifact, this is too heaven-defying..."

Seeing that the Great Formation was about to collapse, Qinchuan allowed no respite for the enemy and wielded the Spring and Autumn Brush once more.

Sun Hu, controlling the formation from within, saw Qinchuan repel the God-Slaying Sword with a single move. He was already stunned and didn't even have time to react to Qinchuan's swinging brush before the God-Slaying Sword was scattered by Qinchuan's strike.

The Great Formation was forcibly broken by brute force, and the gloomy skies once again cleared.

The City Lord's Mansion, which had served as the core of the formation, suffered massive repercussions and exploded into a burst of fireworks.

Sun Hu was also shaken out, tracing an arc in mid-air, but quite inappropriately he landed right in front of Qinchuan.

Qinchuan looked down disdainfully at the incapacitated Sun Hu lying on the ground, his eyes cold.

Upon seeing this, Sun Hu trembled violently and stammered, "Don't... don't... don't kill me, I am from the Sun Family of the Ancient Kingdom of Great Yan, the Sun Family is an Ancient Family, you can't kill me, you..."

"What does being from an Ancient Family matter, in the end you are nothing but a mere ant," Qinchuan replied.

Having said that, Qinchuan was about to strike down on Sun Hu's Heavenly Spirit Cover with his palm.

Just at this moment, a furious roar came from outside the city, "How dare you!"
