Chapter 224 Suppression
Zhang Yuhe stood on the city wall, fully activating the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation.
He integrated all three Supreme Laws into the sword formation.
The boundless Sword Qi, like a life-claiming sickle, rapidly reaped the lives of the Chaos Beasts.
Those lowest-tier One-Star Chaos Beasts couldn't even withstand a single round of sword light.
They were instantly sliced into ashes.
Except for a translucent crystal core left at the scene, nothing else remained.
As for the other Chaos Beasts, they weren't much better off.
Whether they were Two-Star, Six-Star, or even mutated Six-Star Chaos Beasts,
under Zhang Yuhe's sword formation,
there was not much difference.
All of them were suppressed to the point where they couldn't move at all.
The only difference was that the lower the Level of the Chaos Beast, the faster it died.
Meanwhile, those higher-grade Chaos Beasts could only live slightly longer.
But the ultimate result was bound to be the same.
That was death.
Except for those Chaos Beasts above Seven-Star, which could remain unaffected by the sword formation,
none of the other Chaos Beasts could hope to survive.
Seeing this situation,
both the present Cultivators and the Chaos Beasts were completely dumbfounded.
Zhang Yuhe suddenly erupted with terrifying strength, instantly reversing the situation.
As long as the sword formation could be maintained for a little longer,
the millions of Chaos Beasts here would probably be completely wiped out by him.
Such losses, even for Mingsha Ridge,
were something they absolutely could not bear.
Breaking away from the battle group, two Seven-Star Chaos Beasts quickly rushed toward the edge of the sword formation.
Swinging the weapons in their hands, they wanted to shatter the light barrier of the sword formation.
Only by breaking the sword formation could those low-tier Chaos Beasts be rescued.
"Hmph."
Seeing this situation,
Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
He quickly soared into the air and pounced toward the two Seven-Star Chaos Beasts.
He couldn't let these Seven-Star Chaos Beasts attack the light barrier of the sword formation with full force.
Although the Nine Heavens Primordial Chaos Sword Formation was a perfect Divine Ability that combined both offense and defense,
the range currently deployed by the sword formation was simply a bit too large.
Expanding the range was tantamount to disguisedly weakening the offensive and defensive capabilities of the sword formation.
In its current state, the sword formation was very easily broken through.
Let alone Seven-Star Chaos Beasts, even Six-Star Chaos Beasts could potentially breach the sword formation from the outside.
Therefore, right from the very beginning,
Zhang Yuhe simply enveloped all the Chaos Beasts within the sword formation.
In this way,
there was no need to worry about any Chaos Beasts attacking the sword formation from the outside.
As for the Chaos Beasts inside the sword formation,
there was no need to worry about them either.
Chaos Beasts below Six-Star were all suppressed and imprisoned by the sword formation.
As for Chaos Beasts above Seven-Star,
there was no help for it.
No matter what tricks he thought of, it was impossible to control and imprison Seven-Star Chaos Beasts.
He could only rely on his temporarily boosted strength to go toe-to-toe directly with the Seven-Star Chaos Beasts.
Besides, he wasn't alone.
Didn't the Nangong Immortal Clan still have three Taiyi Immortal Lords?
He believed
that Nangong Tianming and the other two could hold back most of the high-grade Chaos Beasts.
Even if there were any omissions, they would still be within his tolerable range.
Zhang Yuhe's figure flashed, and he quickly appeared behind a Seven-Star Chaos Beast.
He waved the long staff in his hand.
The Nine Heavens Flying Spirit Staff radiated a terrifying coercive might, fiercely smashing down toward the Seven-Star Chaos Beast.
That Seven-Star Chaos Beast felt its body suddenly stall.
It immediately let out a heaven-shaking roar.
At the same time, seven-colored light continuously flickered across its body.
This peculiar light was precisely the innate Divine Ability of the Chaos Beasts.
It was also the fundamental reason why Chaos Beasts could be immune to the Divine Abilities and Laws of Cultivators.
As the seven-colored light flashed past, this Seven-Star Chaos Beast immediately regained its freedom of movement.
However, the sky-full of golden staff shadows had already fiercely smashed toward it.
Rumble...
Along with a loud noise spreading out,
this Seven-Star Chaos Beast was smashed flying thousands of li away by Zhang Yuhe with a single staff strike.
Just as he was preparing to continue pursuing that Chaos Beast,
another Seven-Star Chaos Beast had quietly appeared behind him at this moment.
The Chaos Beast swung a mountain-splitting giant axe and fiercely chopped down.
"Hmph."
Zhang Yuhe snorted coldly.
Seeing him slightly step with his left foot, his figure rapidly melted into the the void, instantly vanishing from sight.
Having lost its target, the Chaos Beast's ferocious axe strike chopped directly into empty space.
Zhang Yuhe manifested his figure from behind the Chaos Beast.
The sky-full of golden staff shadows fiercely smashed down toward the Chaos Beast.
Relying on the Galaxy Wandering Dragon Movement Technique and Law of Space, he easily played the two Seven-Star Chaos Beasts in the palm of his hand.
Moreover, because his strength at this moment had already been elevated to Great Perfection Golden Immortal,
the Nine Heavens Flying Spirit Staff in his hand could now unleash super-strong might.
Although he couldn't completely suppress and imprison these two Seven-Star Chaos Beasts,
heavily injuring and sending them flying was still something he could achieve.
As long as he could land a few more hits,
he estimated that he could beat these two Seven-Star Chaos Beasts to death.
Seeing Zhang Yuhe display great Divine Might and suppress two Seven-Star Chaos Beasts while fighting them with Golden Immortal cultivation,
all the Cultivators at the scene shouted excitedly.
In the South Sea Immortal Realm, Prodigies capable of leaping Levels to challenge Chaos Beasts hadn't been seen for a very long time.
Furthermore,
Zhang Yuhe wasn't simply challenging across Levels.
He first used an explosive Divine Ability to temporarily elevate his cultivation to Great Perfection Golden Immortal.
Then, he used a sword formation Divine Ability to suppress and imprison all the low-tier Chaos Beasts.
Under such circumstances,
he was still able to free up his hands and easily suppress two Seven-Star Chaos Beasts.
What kind of prodigy was this? Everyone completely dared not imagine it.
In contrast to the excited cheers of the Cultivators,
the Chaos Beasts at the scene wore expressions of shock and disbelief.
How could there be such a strong Golden Immortal Cultivator?
They completely couldn't understand it.
Seeing a large number of Chaos Beasts being sliced into ashes by the formless Sword Qi,
Sha Motian couldn't help but become extremely anxious.
It continuously let out heaven-shaking wild roars, wanting to rush over and finish off Zhang Yuhe.
But how could Nangong Tianming beside it possibly let it have its way?
Although on the side of the Chaos Beasts, a special mutated Chaos Beast had appeared,
possessing a strange companion tumbling bucket that naturally restrained the Immortal Extermination Cannon.
As long as the High-Grade Immortal-Extermination Cannon on the Immortal Battleship fired,
the opponent would use the tumbling bucket to meet it head-on.
That strange tumbling bucket could absorb and dissipate the might of the High-Grade Immortal-Extermination Cannon into nothingness every single time.
However, Nangong Tianming had roamed the Immortal Realm for hundreds of millions of years; naturally, he didn't rely solely on those three High-Grade Immortal-Extermination Cannons.
As an old monster who had lived for hundreds of millions of years,
Nangong Tianming's own strength was already terrifying.
He activated a jade-plate-shaped Immortal Artifact, firmly holding back the surrounding Chaos Beasts.
Whenever any Chaos Beast wanted to break away and leave,
the jade plate Immortal Artifact would shoot out a beam of light to pull the Chaos Beast back.
Facing over a dozen Grand Unity Realm Chaos Beasts all by himself simultaneously,
among which there was also one Nine-Star and two Eight-Star Chaos Beasts,
despite this,
Nangong Tianming's face still bore no trace of fear.
Judging from the situation, he was even the one who had the upper hand.
The dozen-plus Chaos Beasts were actually being suppressed and beaten by him all along.
Nangong Tianming pinned down the Chaos Beasts with the jade plate Immortal Artifact,
while simultaneously continuously forming hand seals with his hands.
Various high-might Divine Abilities continuously blasted toward the Chaos Beasts in front of him.
Although it was said that
Chaos Beasts could be immune to most Divine Abilities and Law damage from Cultivators,
that also depended on who was casting the Divine Ability.
With Nangong Tianming's cultivation,
every time he unleashed a Divine Ability, apart from Sha Motian,
none of the other Chaos Beasts dared to take it head-on at all.
They could only leap and dodge one after another.
As a Grand Unity Immortal of Great Perfection, Nangong Tianming was only half a step away from stepping into the Grand Luo Realm.
Even Chaos Beasts wouldn't dare to look down on such a figure.
It was precisely because of this
that Sha Motian was determined to root out Heavenly Palace City.
Otherwise,
once Nangong Tianming broke through to the Grand Luo Realm,
that would be the end of Mingsha Ridge.
Whenever a mighty figure was born among Cultivators, they would expand their territory on the Chaos Continent.
And Mingsha Ridge was close to Heavenly Palace City,
making it inevitably the expansion target of the Nangong Immortal Clan.
