Chapter 256: Suppressing Yu Ning
Yaochi Holy Land had existed for over ten thousand years.The holy land had produced many powerful figures and left behind various formidable techniques.
One of them was a formation known as—the Juexian Grand Array.From the na alone, you could guess its power: even immortals would be dood inside.Of course, in reality it wasn’t that terrifying,but within the Void Fusion Realm, it was definitely one of the most potent and targeted arrays in existence.
“Sword Pavilion Patriarch, let’s see where you run to this ti!”
Real Person Yu Ning gazed down through the clouds, smiling as she watched the figure below.The Juexian Grand Array had massive coverage, combining entrapnt, suppression, and slaughter in one.It had eighteen formation cores that were hidden and interconnected.
She had poured everything into the setup—no resource spared.It was more than enough to deal with a Void Fusion Stage Five opponent like the Sword Pavilion Patriarch.He absolutely couldn’t break out in a short ti.
And as ti passed, the array’s power would steadily grow—until it completely annihilated its target in body and soul.
She could already imagine the Sword Pavilion Patriarch kneeling before her, begging for rcy.Don’t think that scene was rare—those ancient Void Fusion monsters had all lived a long ti,and the longer they lived, the more they clung to life.Once they realized death was near, fear would always follow.
Inside the array, Chen Huaian held his sword in his right hand, brow furrowed in thought.
He originally intended to fly straight up and yank the enemy out of the sky—but this array was actually anti-air?!
Not only that, it had fused the surrounding space into a solid plate.Even tearing a hole in space to escape was impossible.
The one who set this up clearly ca prepared—specifically targeting Void Fusion Realm abilities.Which ant… the enemy had to be from one of the Three Great Holy Lands.
If that was the case, then the only option was to break the array.
Just like fixing a TV, step one was always brute force.So he casually swung a sword at the formation.
BOOM—!
Sword intent surged like a tide, and a silver-white sword curtain hundreds of feet wide slamd into the array.But all it did was make a few ripples—the formation didn’t even flinch.
Chen Huaian smacked his lips and was about to use a stronger sword technique—
When a shrill, sinister laugh echoed from above.
“Sword Pavilion Patriarch, stop wasting your energy~”
Chen Huaian looked up and saw a faint figure of a Yaochi female cultivator half-visible in the clouds.He couldn’t get a read on her through the array,but if she dared to show up, she had to be in the Void Fusion Realm too.
The fact that she didn’t dare face him head-on and relied on a formation ant she was weaker.
That ant—she could be killed.
Chen Huaian instantly slapped a ntal label on her: “Killable.”
“This is the Juexian Grand Array of our Yaochi Holy Land. You’ll never break it from the inside.Even attacking from outside would require at least three Void Fusion Stage Nine elders working together,using a formation to counter a formation.
Your only chance is to destroy all eighteen formation cores.But can you… even find them?”
As she smugly cackled,Chen Huaian glanced at his minimap—one large red ring, inside it eighteen smaller red circles.
So those little rings were the formation cores, huh?
“Thanks for the tip!” Chen Huaian cupped his hands politely toward Yu Ning.
Ah, such a sincere and honest world, this Cangyun Realm.If this were the real world,a rival wouldn’t say a single word before trying to screw you over.So would let you die without even knowing how.
Chen Huaian added another tag to Yu Ning’s profile: “Killable” “Really Helpful.”
The array had now fully activated, starting with realm suppression.He could already feel his cultivation being pushed down, regressing step by step—but he didn’t panic.
He calmly strolled toward one of the small red circles on the map,spread out his spiritual sense, closed his eyes, and began sensing his surroundings.
“He found a formation core?!”
Yu Ning’s mind short-circuited—then she shook her head.“No way! That had to be pure dumb luck!”
The Juexian Grand Array covered a massive area, but the cores were tiny and unevenly scattered.Seeing him standing over one now, she figured it had to be coincidence.
“Hmph, scaring myself for nothing~” Yu Ning patted her chest, trying to relax—
But in the very next second,SLASH—!
Chen Huaian swung his sword down toward the ground.
Yu Ning’s unfinished words turned into a panicked scream:“AH! He found the core? How is that possible?!”
“Could it be… the Sword Pavilion Patriarch isn’t just a sword genius but also a formation master?!”
“Whatever. Good thing I planned for backup.”Yu Ning was now extrely grateful she hadn’t cut corners while building the array.Had she gone with a budget version, one of the cores would’ve been destroyed just now.
She had no doubt about the destructive power behind that swing.
Inside the array, Chen Huaian frowned slightly.His last strike had missed the actual core.
The mont he attacked, the core had shifted locations.
“Interesting. No wonder this is called the Juexian Array.The grand array contains smaller arrays.The cores aren’t just hidden—they move automatically when under threat…”
Chen Huaian smirked.If it had been anyone else in the Void Fusion Realm, they’d probably have fallen for the Yaochi witch’s trap.But he wasn’t just anyone.
Even now, with his power suppressed from Stage Five to Stage Three,it was more than enough to deal with eighteen formation cores.
The Green Lotus Sword Manual had twelve distinct techniques,each with its own style—so mighty like a prison, so overwhelmingly forceful, so shattering all defenses, others faster than the eye.
The Tenth Form – Moon Rises Over Tianshan condensed sword intent into moonlight,blanketing an entire area with relentless, seamless sword strikes.
Even in the late Nascent Soul stage, that technique had leveled the gates of Qingyun Sect.
Now at Void Fusion Stage Three, Chen Huaian raised two fingers like a sword and pointed skyward.
CLANG—!
A sword cry thundered through the air.
Behind him, moonlight rose from the ground.
“The moon rises over Tianshan, amid the sea of clouds and mist!”
As the ethereal chant echoed out,Yu Ning gradually lost sight of his figure.
That black robe, once stark against the pale moonlight,now lted into the lonely glow.
Yu Ning couldn’t tell if the chant ca from his mouth,from the heavens,or right beside her ear—or even inside her mind.
All she could see…was a single sword light, growing thicker and more intense within the moonlight.
Soone was dancing with a sword inside the moon.Then suddenly—the sword intent surged!
“Not good!!”The strike wasn’t aid at Yu Ning—but she knew sothing was wrong.
A boundless killing intent had engulfed the entire array.
What poured down wasn’t just moonlight—it was sword qi.
Under Chen Huaian’s control, the sword qi targeted all 18 formation cores.Each ti a core shifted, a blade of moonlight followed it.
How powerful was Moon Rises Over Tianshan at the Void Fusion level?Last ti, it had left a forest of sword holes in the main hall of Qingxuan Sect.
Now, sword qi rained down like falling teors, each trailing glowing tails.Like shattered stars crashing to earth.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!Explosions echoed.Crater after crater ford, each interconnected.The ground beneath the array began to cave in.
Forget 18 formation cores.Even 108 of them wouldn’t survive this.
The Juexian Grand Array—shattered!
Yu Ning turned to run,tearing open space and using the fastest speed she had ever mustered to flee toward Yaochi Holy Land.
But the very next second—
A hand grabbed the top of her skull.
In the other hand,that person was still holding a leftover spirit crystal—he even had ti to loot the rest of the array’s materials.
“Running already?”
Chen Huaian clutched Yu Ning’s head, his smile growing colder.
“Did I… give you permission to run?”
With the final word,the veins in his hand bulged—
And dragged her straight down from the sky.
BOOM—!
Her skull smashed into the earth, the impact exploding outward.
Blood mist blood in the moonlight.Bone fragnts flew with dirt.His black robe was now dotted with red along the hem.
In the rising dust,Chen Huaian rose slowly, stepping off the cracked ground.
His blood-soaked fingers clenched tight—and Yu Ning’s soul was ground to dust in his palm.
“Pfft. What kind of trash dares bark in front of ?”
With a flick of his hand,the blood was evaporated.
He slashed open a void in front of him—and streaked toward the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
