Chapter 937: Seventy-Two Hell Formation. What Makes You Think I Used My Full Strength?
~~~
Inside Bai Manor, Chu Kuangren unleashed a surge of powerful sword gi using his Descendant Self Sword and slashed the golden net into pieces. The floor was blanketed with slash marks.
A dozen Bai clan members were lying in their own puddle of blood, screaming in pain.
Bai clan Forefather's face sank when he saw the scene. "I can't believe the Heavenly Golden Silk Net has failed to capture this man!"
"Into the formation!" Bai clan Forefather shouted.
All of a sudden, all seventy-two hidden Bai clan Daoist Celestials rose up to the sky. Countless Daoist patterns swirled in the air and formed seventy-two vertices, with powerful ripples spreading outwards.
"Oh? A combined formation with seventy-two Daoist Celestials? Seems powerful," Chu Kuangren said with a grin.
"Hmph! Chu Kuangren! This is the Bai clan's true power — Seventy-two Hell Formation! This formation can allow us to unleash our full powers. Even though you can slay a Pseudo Immortal, you are no match for this formation!" Bai clan Forefather bellowed.
The formation was the Bai clan's strongest ace card.
He knew Chu Kuangren was powerful enough to slay even a Pseudo Immortal. That was why he held back at Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm. Instead, he sent a message back to the Bai clan to summon all the Davists Celestials and had them prepare the Heavenly Golden Silk Net and the Seventy-Two Hell
Formation. All preparations were done so they could focus their powers on Chu Kuangren.
"With the combined power of all seventy-two Davist Celestials, today will be the day you die!"
"Only weaklings rely on numbers and combined strength. A powerful person can break through anything with a single blow. Besides, not even seven hundred of you ugly bastards can match my power, let alone seventy-two," Chu Kuangren said with a laugh.
Then, the source energy in him started to swirl and radiate brightly.
"Outrageous!*
'The Bai clan Forefather bellowed and then channeled the energy in the formation, All seventy-two vertices had endless Emperor qi gushing out from them, and combined with the Daoist patterns, they converged to form an enormous golden hand so huge that it could cover the sky. It was coming down at
Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren raised his sword to strike.
Like crashing tidal waves, the sword qi collided with the enormous golden hand. As a result, the whole manor trembled, and ripples spread through the void.
After the clash, the ground around Chu Kuangren sank tens of meters into the ground and cracks spread out like a spider web.
The whole Bai Manor was almost destroyed.
One thing worth noting was that the Bai Manor's structure and land were enforced by Daoist patterns, which made them extraordinarily rigid. Not even a Daoist Celestial could inflict heavy damage to any of the structures.
However, that clash ruined more than half of the manor. The ground even sank deep into the ground, which was proof of how powerful the collision was.
On a universal scale, the force was enough to destroy several planets at once.
The huge commotion attracted the attention of all the elites in Ancient Sparrow City. Emperor Thoughts rushed over as they tried to take a look at what was happening in Bai Manor.
'When they saw the desolate state that the Bai clan was in, they gasped and gulped in astonishment.
"Holy sh*t! Who's causing so much trouble at Bai Manor?"
"Wait, look at the vertices in the air. This… Can it be the rumored formation, the strongest attack of the Bai clan — Seventy-two Hell Formation?"
"Holy moly, Seventy-two Hell Formation? Gasp. Isn't that the legendary peerless Immortal formation? How does the Bai clan possess it?"
"Bai clan's Seventy-two Hell Formation is just a simplified version of the original. There's a huge difference compared to the original, but it's enough to turn heads. There are seventy-two Daoist Celestial casting this formation together. Who in the hell made the Bai clan pull out this formation?"
The cultivators in Ancient Sparrow City were shocked.
Awhile later, they noticed Chu Kuangren, who was confronting the whole Bai clan. Everyone was incredibly shocked.
"This is the foreigner whom the Bai clan Forefather protected upon arrival. Why are they fighting?"
"Hah. I just knew the Bai clan wouldn't run a charity. Something on this foreigner must've caught their eyes."
"What the hell? Seven source energies with different attributes? Where did this monster come from? A King Immortal Progeny?"
As the cultivators were communicating through Emperor Thought, they were in awe to sense the energies from Chu Kuangren.
Back in Bai Manor, after the sword qi and enormous golden hand collided, the floor three meters away from Chu Kuangren was badly destroyed. However, the floor within those three meters remained intact as if it was an inviolable domain.
Lil Fox stayed close to him the entire time. She bore in mind his advice and was no more than a step away from him.
"Chu Kuangren, I'm surprised you can withstand the attack from the Hell Formation, but I have to tell you that the attack just now is not our best. That was not the full strength of the Seventy-two Hell Formation!" Bai clan Forefather scoffed.
"Alright, that was not your full strength, but what makes you think that was my full strength?" Chu Kuangren chuckled.
In the next second, Emperor qi began to surge on his body. Then, two streams of light flew out and revealed two Dao Proclamation Seals!
'With the appearance of the Dao Proclamation Seals, Chu Kuangren's combat strength rose to a whole new level. He grunted, and the Grand Avatar appeared behind him, with thousands of golden sword qi swirling in its palm, forming a gold sword shadow that struck out.
Imperial Monarch Sword Art, Cosmic Universal Conquest!
In the face of the sword attack, which had been boosted by the source energy and Dao Proclamation Seals, the Bai clan Forefather's expression changed, and his body trembled.
"You have more hidden powers?!" the Bai clan Forefather cried out strangely.
Then, he channeled the power of the hell formations to its limit and threw a powerful punch at the golden sword shadow.
'The energy from all seventy-two Bai clan elites erupted and clashed with Chu Kuangren's golden sword shadow.
Following a deafening explosion, the entire manor almost leveled to the ground. The terrifying shockwave burst in all directions, swallowing both Chu Kuangren and all the Daoist Celestials who cast the formation.
Chu Kuangren pulled Lil Fox behind him before his Emperor qi and mind power converged into a shield that blocked the shockwave.
As for the shockwave that slipped through his shield, he managed to block them with his powerful body.
On the other hand, Bai clan Forefather and the others did not possess Chu Kuangren's abilities. Under the impact, the powerful shockwave shook the entire formation, and another loud bang later, the whole formation crumbled.
The Bai clan Forefather and the others suffered the repulsion and were sent flying backward. Those with a weaker cultivation level exploded into a cloud of bloody mist on the spot.
"Impossible!"
"How powerful is he exactly?!"
The Bai clan Forefather was in disbelief as he stared at Chu Kuangren, who was unscathed. Fear rose in his heart. If that continued, the Bai clan would be wiped out.
"No! The Bai clan can't end with me!" The look on the Bai clan Forefather's face changed, and he shouted in a direction further away, "City Lord, this is the man who killed the Young Lord. What are you waiting for?!"
He could sense the City Lord and his troops nearby.
"This is between you and the foreigner. My son can wait after you settle your score with him," Ancient Sparrow City Lord said coldly.
He had decided to sit it out and only jump into the battle to reap the harvest once both sides were injured.
"Tt seems like the foreigner is at an advantage. Perhaps I can use him to eliminate the Bai clan. After that, I'll come in and kill him myself to avenge my son!" Ancient Sparrow City Lord mumbled coldly.
'The Bai clan Forefather's heart sank when he heard the City Lord. Seeing that Chu Kuangren was coming closer, he clenched his teeth and shouted, "My Lord, this man here possessed many treasures from the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm. Kill him, and the treasures will be yours!
"We, the Bai clan, will assist you, and we hereby pledge our loyalty to you. We will also offer all our properties and treasures to you!"
The Bai clan Forefather's words shocked everyone observing the battle..
