Chapter 614: Contending for the Tripod

“Shatter…”

Su Ye murmured.

A trillion tons of seawater shimmered with an icy silver light!

Monarch of Calamity!

Erosion Flow Skill!

Before mastering the Netherworld Skill and the Life and Death Skill, Su Ye’s most formidable ability had been to use his old god bloodline to resonate with the sea, wielding the Might of Calamity in human form!

CRACK.

The Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation let out a mournful cry.

No matter how powerful an Array, at its core, it was still just an arrangement of runes that borrowed the immense power of heaven and earth. The only differences between them lay in the proportion of power borrowed and the efficiency of its conversion.

However, what it now faced was the true, unadulterated might of heaven and earth!

How could it possibly resist?

The next moment.

The Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation finally reached its limit. The pure white shield exploded with a deafening BOOM, shattering into countless white specks of light that scattered in every direction!

WHOOM!

Trillions of tons of seawater descended from the sky, pouring down upon Luofu State!

Houses, farmland, cities, mountains… before the endless sea, they were all as fragile as toy blocks!

As for living beings, they were no more than ants. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators who had forged a Dao Foundation could not fly away. Faced with the ocean’s violent spiritual nature and the power of the Erosion Flow Skill, they could only cling to nearby debris, drifting along with the current!

Luofu State was submerged!

“This kind of power…” Qixia held her breath, not daring to even blink.

Gazing at the apocalyptic tsunami, she subconsciously imagined Profound Light Cave’s main gate in its place, wondering if it could withstand the blow…

“Impossible!”

“There’s no way we could defend against it!”

Qixia shook her head like a rattle drum.

It took her only 0.1 seconds to reach a conclusion.

‘If even the Jade Void Sword Sect’s Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation couldn’t hold, how could Profound Light Cave’s gate Array, which is far inferior, possibly stand a chance?!’

“What… what a spectacle…”

“With this move alone, this Yehai is powerful enough to run rampant across Yaoguang…”

The spectating Nascent Soul cultivators thought with a chill in their hearts.

Overturning heaven and earth, moving mountains and draining seas, commanding the world’s great power with a single thought—even Nascent Soul True Monarchs had to feel a sense of awe!

“The Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation is broken. Now, let’s see what the Jade Void Sword Sect will do…”

“Could this Yehai really destroy the Jade Void Sword Sect all by himself?”

Before this, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs had been skeptical. But now, even the one who had the most faith in the Jade Void Sword Sect felt their conviction waver as they considered the possibility.

…

Luofu State.

Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain.

If Luofu State was the heart of the Jade Void Sword Sect, then Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain was the heart of Luofu State!

Qianji Hall, the Dharma Transmission Pavilion, the Sword Mound, the Law Enforcement Hall… a series of core buildings were all established on this mountain!

RUMBLE!

The rolling torrent submerged the lands of Luofu State, carrying with it tens of millions of tons of housing debris, rocks, and trees… surging toward Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain!

DONG!

The sound of a bronze bell rang out.

“Quickly, quickly!”

“All disciples, attention! This is an emergency!”

“All disciples currently on Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain, cease all work immediately and proceed to the nearest Array node… The locations of the Array nodes have been marked on your Merit Jade Scroll!”

The sect’s directors and deacons were sweating profusely, working themselves off their feet. They urgently summoned disciples from seclusion, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, and other tasks to face the monstrous waves!

Numerous disciples flew at top speed toward the Array nodes to provide support!

Even the Sword Sect Nascent Souls took action, working to stabilize the Array!

A moment later.

HUMMM.

A curtain of light rose over Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain. This was the Jade Void Sword Sect headquarters’ second line of defense, after the Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation.

The range and power of this Array could not compare to the Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation; it was merely a backup measure.

It was only because the Tai Xu Nine Heavens Formation had withstood the most ferocious wave of the tsunami’s assault that this thin curtain of light was able to protect Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain.

SPLASH.

The waves surged, and Luofu State was transformed into a boundless ocean.

In the blink of an eye, only the single peak of Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain remained of the entire state, standing tall above the surface of the sea!

「Qianji Hall.」

Hu Guang’s face was ashen. The losses from Luofu State being swallowed by the tsunami were simply incalculable. Not even during the Reversed Moon War had the Jade Void Sword Sect suffered such a devastating blow!

“That bastard! How dare he… I’m going to kill him!” Murderous intent flared in the eyes of the Sixth Peak Master, Chixiao, who had the appearance of a burly man.

“Don’t be rash.” Xuanming raised a hand to stop him. This was not a projection, but his true self.

With Su Ye issuing a public challenge, he had naturally returned to Luofu State to face the powerful enemy.

“Fu Nanzi, how much longer can Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain’s Array hold?”

“A few days, perhaps. But I don’t recommend we rely on the Array to turtle up. Based on analysis of past cases, I suspect Su Ye’s Magical Power consumption for manipulating the sea is extremely low, whereas our sect cannot say the same for maintaining the Array.”

Fu Nanzi shook his head.

Hu Guang spoke, “Execute contingency plan three. We Nascent Soul Grand Cultivators will join forces, deploy the Beidou Cangjie Sword Array, and slay Yehai in one fell swoop!”

“I agree,” Chixiao said immediately.

“Hmm… That could work.”

…

The water and sky merged into one, shimmering an icy silver.

Luofu State was submerged beneath the sea, transformed into a waterlogged kingdom!

Su Ye stood at the bow of the Ghostly Flood Dragon, his gaze filled with emotion as he looked down upon Luofu State. “Hmm, not bad. With so many pavilions and eaves dotting the landscape, it’s like a rock garden. In the future, this will surely be a world-renowned vista, even surpassing Penglai!”

Just then.

From within Ten Thousand Peaks Mountain, seven formidable auras of Magical Power suddenly erupted!

They flew over at extreme speed, positioning themselves in seven different directions to completely surround Su Ye and the Ghostly Flood Dragon!
