Chapter 2624 - Slashing Down Thirty-Three Blazing Suns

Inside the formation was a world manifested of divine flame. Everywhere you looked, everything was on fire. Waves of flame swept forth like fierce gales, churning seas, or coursing waterfalls.

The flames were permeated with an air of Eternity, and they could have easily reduced even False Eternals to ash.

The moment Su Yi was trapped, he sensed the formation’s terrifying strength. It didn’t just affect his body; even his heart and soul felt searing pain, as if they were burning away.

“Activate!” His robes billowed, and his withdrawn cultivation base erupted.

Kaboom!

Heaven and earth shook, and the countless divine flames were forced back. They couldn’t get within one hundred feet of Su Yi!

A circle of inscrutable, mysterious sword intent revolved around his tall, upright figure in a self-perpetuating cycle with neither beginning nor end.

It created a unique domain. Within its bounds, Su Yi seemed all but invincible!

He wasn’t relying on any sort of external power, nor was he playing any tricks. Rather, this was a manifestation of Su Yi’s strength!

“Break!” Su Yi walked through the sky, sleeves billowing as countless streaks of sword qi wooshed forth like an avalanche.

Wherever the sword qi passed, it flew like a dragon, breaking through the storm of divine flames, cleaving through the blazing currents, and severing the fiery waterfalls to create a path!

The entire formation shook violently.

Startled cries arose from outside its bounds, and the higher-ups gathered on Heavenbreaker Peak watched in disbelief.

This formation could destroy everyone beneath the Eternal Level. Even False Eternals would have been instantly reduced to ash.

But Su Yi hadn’t just blocked it. He was even trying to break free!

Just how heaven-defying is he?

The other combatants had only just thought this when someone bellowed. “Gather energy within the formation and adapt!”

The speaker was Taishu Gong. He was directing the twenty-four False Eternals controlling this unparalleled killing formation.

“Got it!” The others voiced their assent.

The formation rumbled, boomed, and transformed. As the divine flames swept across heaven and earth, countless flaming stars rose. All of them shot at Su Yi, blocking his path.

He was under a terrifying onslaught from all sides.

Boom!

Every time a star exploded, it produced incomparably terrifying destructive power, forcing Su Yi back.

The stars descended relentlessly, exploding one after another. Soon, Su Yi was completely covered in a flood of destructive power.

Taishu Gong smiled.

Senior Yu Chiyang was right. With this formation in play, it doesn’t matter how strong Su Yi is. He hasn’t yet achieved Eternity, so the formation can surely suppress him!

The Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation had three transformations. Each represented a different supreme killing power.

This was its first transformation, the Star Transformation. It created countless flaming stars brimming with destructive power!

“By the time this attack is over, Su Yi will be badly injured, assuming he’s even still alive!” someone said with conviction.

“It’s true. No one beneath the Eternal level could possibly block this formation!” someone else chimed in.

The formation was just too terrifying. Even these prominent experts were startled.

“Forgive my poor manners, but if Su Yi were so easily slain, he’d have died a long time ago,” Gu Huaxian said out of nowhere. “Whatever you do, don’t get complacent. Be on guard against a sudden counterattack.”

“Hah. You needn’t be concerned, Fellow Daoist. We naturally won’t underestimate Su Yi, but as you can see, he’s already trapped, like a beast in a cage. He won’t be able to last much longer,” someone said calmly. He was fully confident in the formation.

Gu Huaxian’s brow furrowed, but just as she was about to say something...

Boom!

The formation shook violently.

Countless divine flames swept outward, starting from the area around Su Yi, then dispersed.

Su Yi, meanwhile, came back into view.

He now seemed completely different from before.

When he arrived, he seemed as simple and unassuming as an ordinary mortal, but now, he was swathed in glittering golden sword light as resplendent as the sun. Even his blue robes flowed with a coursing river of sword intent.

From a distance, it was as if they weren’t looking at a person, but rather, a sword.

An unparalleled sword sharp enough to dazzle the ages!

Even separated by a formation, the moment Su Yi came into view, the experts outside it couldn’t help but narrow their eyes. All of them felt stinging pain in their retinas, and all of them looked stricken.

That still wasn’t enough to suppress Su Yi!?

Boom!

The formation shook, and the twenty-four False Eternals circulating it felt the impact. They staggered on their feet, their blood and qi churning. They too looked stricken.

Gu Huaxian had been just about to jeer at the two old-timers who’d just insisted that the formation had successfully suppressed Su Yi, only for the sheer shock of it all to leave her at a loss for words.

“Gather your power and manifest supreme Yang!” roared Taishu Gong.

Boom!

Within the Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation, thirty-three blazing suns rose into the air, all of them shining with endless light.

The formation’s power immediately soared!

Within moments, the crowd watched as thirty-three suns descended upon Su Yi.

The experts controlling the formation inwardly sighed in relief. As high as their cultivations were, powering this formation was extremely taxing to their cultivation bases. Many of them looked noticeably paler than before.

Still, when they saw that Su Yi had been completely suppressed, they couldn’t help but feel gleeful.

“I refuse to believe that these thirty-three blazing suns won’t be enough to destroy you!” said Taishu Gong, his gaze utterly cold.

This was the second transformation of the Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation, the Divine Sun Transformation. It was far stronger than the Star Transformation.

However, it was even more taxing to the people controlling the formation.

Everyone working to control the formation was a False Eternal, but now, even they were starting to feel exhausted.

No one beneath this level could possibly have powered this formation!

𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Kaboom!

The blazing suns hung high in the air, forming a barrier that prevented Su Yi from moving. His defensive Dao Light was under terrifying pressure, on the verge of burning away completely.

The little girl suddenly spoke. "Jiao Mu, bring your people into the formation. You needn’t fight him at close quarters. Just attack him from afar to do some damage and distract him!”

“Got it!” Jiao Mu instantly agreed, then led eight Half-Step Eternals into the formation.

The group stood in the distance, unleashing the treasures and abilities they kept in reserve to whale on Su Yi from afar.

Some of these divine abilities targeted the soul, others, the flesh. Despite the distance, their power was utterly terrifying.

All of them knew that, under ordinary circumstances, their attacks could never have so much as scratched Su Yi.

But it was different now. Su Yi was suppressed, unable to move a muscle. All he could do was bitterly hold on. Besides, all they needed to do was distract him.

So long as they distracted him, he would no longer be able to withstand the pressure of the thirty-three blazing suns. He’d be completely suppressed!

Kaboom!

Jiao Mu and the others launched their attacks at Su Yi.

The onlookers watched with bated breath and rapt attention.

But then, something unexpected happened.

The suppressed Su Yi suddenly laughed and, as everyone watched in horror, stretched and rose to his full height.

Boom!

A sword whooshed forth in a perfectly straight line. Wherever it passed, it pierced a blazing sun, producing a massive explosion.

Within moments, that sword pieced and broke through thirty-three suns. It was like the legendary archer, Houyi, shooting down the suns!

Unstoppable force!

The sight was unquestionably far too shocking. Who could have imagined that the thoroughly suppressed Su Yi would turn around and deal such a forceful, terrifying blow?

Kaboom!

The pierced suns exploded. The aftershock alone was enough to stave off all of the attacks aimed at Su Yi.

As divine flames swept outward, Jiao Mu and his subordinates’ expressions shifted.

“This is bad. Hurry up and retreat!” Jiao Mu turned to flee, but he was one step too late.

Su Yi barely moved. He just stood in place, raised his hand, and tapped.

The sword piercing the firmament brought with it unstoppable sword light, and it was swathed in the searing divine flames. Their power fully enveloped Jiao Mu and his companions, instantly dispersing their souls. Not one of them escaped! They didn’t even have time to scream.

Just like that, a group of Half-Step Eternals was burnt to ash.

The onlookers were shocked and furious, their expressions unsightly. This turnaround was completely outside their expectations, and it had all happened far too quickly.

It was to the point that the thirty-three suns were destroyed before the twenty-four False Eternals controlling the formation could even react.

By the time their allies knew what was happening, Jiao Mu and the others had already been reduced to ash.

“He... He obviously has yet to step into Eternity, so why is he so unreasonably strong?” someone said with disbelief, his face ashen.

The Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation could supposedly kill anyone yet to achieve Eternity, yet it seemed entirely ineffective against Su Yi.

“I never once thought a formation alone would be enough to defeat Su Yi,” the little girl said calmly.

No matter how strong a formation was, it was ultimately just an external object. Were it possible to kill Su Yi with treasures alone, why would they have bothered rallying such a massive army or preparing so many hidden cards?

The little girl’s comment carried hidden barbs that deeply provoked Taishu Gong. He roared, “Gather your powers of the Grand Dao and manifest the Transformation of the Soul!”

He was obviously furious.

The twenty-four False Eternals controlling the formation gnashed their teeth and went all out.

Their cultivation bases burned, and even the formation disks in their hands seemed to catch ablaze, rumbling and buzzing without end. Their faces paled with obvious exertion.

Meanwhile, the killing formation transformed once more. Countless mysterious, resplendent Eternal markings surged forth, falling like rain, then gathering together.

In the end, the markings manifested nine golden crows. Every crow’s body was covered in flowing divine flames. Their ferocious auras filled the heavens!

This was the third and final transformation of the Ten Thousand Refinements Golden Crow Formation, the Golden Crow Transformation.

It was also the strongest attack the formation could unleash!
