Demon Slaying, Gaining 60 Years of Cultivation From the Start-Chapter 1490 - 352 Gu Chen VS Seven Star Destruction Formation
Chapter 1490: Chapter 352 Gu Chen VS Seven Star Destruction Formation
With a thunderous boom, the sky jolted and the earth trembled, dust stirred wildly as a ten-thousand-zhang radiance pierced into the heavens, dazzling to the extreme.
Accompanied by a scream, a copious amount of fresh blood splattered, and one of the six experts’ body was torn, nearly turned into a mass of bloody mud!
It was Golden Roc Clan’s semi-supreme Jin Hong, who narrowly escaped death.
"Uh?"
Gu Chen frowned, somewhat displeased, not expecting that after one strike, Jin Hong would somehow not be utterly dead.
What treasure blocked his attack? A sacred artifact?
At this moment, Gu Chen’s gaze shifted, a sense of crisis rising in his heart as he looked towards Shen Ziyan and the others in the distance.
A brilliant orb of light hung in the air, its surface inscribed with threads of runes flowing about, elucidating the essence of heaven and earth, the mysteries of its laws.
"A formation array?" Gu Chen’s gaze was sharp, piercing through to its reality, discovering that it was indeed a formation array, scattered with points like stars that seemed to twinkle constantly, exceedingly extraordinary.
"The so-called Seven Star Destruction Formation?" He keenly captured this detail.
The formation array hung in the air, casting a soft starlight that protected Shen Ziyan and the group of six. Otherwise, Gu Chen’s recent attack would have not only injured Jin Hong.
"Brother Jin, how do you feel?" Shen Ziyan and the others hurriedly turned their attention to Jin Hong.
The Seven Star Destruction Formation required seven people and seven sacred artifacts to establish, and now with one person down, if Jin Hong suffered another misfortune, the remaining five of them, even if they were to set up the formation, likely couldn’t hold off Gu Chen.
It had to be said that being half a step from supreme was indeed extraordinary, life force exceptionally tenacious. With the aid of various sacred medicines, Jin Hong quickly regrew his body, though his complexion turned a bit pale.
Moreover, there was a hint of fear hidden deep in his eyes, just moments ago he was almost obliterated by Gu Chen’s punch.
"Set up the formation!"
At that moment, Shen Ziyan shouted coldly, looking up at the array floating in mid-air.
This was the fundamental strength of the immortal-level sect, Ten Thousand Stars Palace, especially crucial, second only to their sect’s prized ancestral artifact—the Dao Weapon!
"Everyone, I am here too!" Suddenly, a robust voice rang out, a tall man arrived at the scene.
"Du Kui, why did you only arrive now!" Jin Hong saw his late arrival and immediately showed anger.
Du Kui replied soberly, "I apologize, everyone, I was just caught up in enlightenment and nearly lost track of time."
"Is that... Du Kui from the hidden sect, Holding Mountain Gate?" The Ascension Realm cultivators and semi-supreme experts nearby flashed a glance, recognizing his identity.
"Gu Chen, do you recognize me?" At this point, Du Kui turned around, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked towards Gu Chen.
Gu Chen remained silent; he knew during the Great Battle of the Ten Thousand Tribes, he had made many enemies, slaughtering numerous prodigies, but it was not possible for him to recognize every sect.
Seeing Gu Chen’s indifference, Du Kui couldn’t help but snort coldly.
"Don’t waste words with him, today, let’s send this little beast to hell!" Lu Yu of Lan Yue Lake stepped forward, glaring at Gu Chen with resentment, a vast patch of blood on his chest.
To form the Seven Star Destruction Formation, Jin Hong and the others had found another two people—Lu Yu and Du Kui.
Both of them bore grudges against Gu Chen, and it was almost as if they hit it off instantly.
"Seven Star Destruction Formation, activate!" Shen Ziyan bellowed, hastily powering up the formation, imprinting several hand signs that infused into the dazzlingly radiant array in mid-air.
"What, is it really the Seven Star Destruction Formation?!" Some semi-supreme experts from top sects in the distance suddenly changed expression upon hearing these words.
Yet, many others were baffled by this formation.
Immediately, someone spoke up, explaining what exactly the Seven Star Destruction Formation was.
"The heritage of the immortal-level sect, Ten Thousand Stars Palace, which had previously slain countless strong adversaries with this formation?!" The bigshots of the Ascension Realm exclaimed in shock.
"A formation array set up by seven semi-supreme experts, complemented by seven sacred artifacts—below the Primordial Realm, all would have no chance of surviving!"
"Moreover, that formation array is the crux of the Seven Star Destruction Formation, nearly on par with a Dao Weapon—a supreme treasure!"
The bigshots were overwhelmed with shock, their faces filled with utter astonishment—they hadn’t imagined that the master of Ten Thousand Stars Palace would prepare such a contingency plan, even willing to utilize one of their foundational resources.
"If it is lost, won’t Ten Thousand Stars Palace go mad?" murmured an Ascension Realm cultivator.
A semi-supreme expert glanced at him and said, "Once the Seven Star Destruction Formation is activated, regardless of who faces it here, their fate is but one character—death. No doubt about it, not even the exceptional Gu Chen will escape it."
"And as for the foundation of an immortal-level sect, under the vast heavens, how many would dare to seize it?"
Hearing this, the crowd nodded, agreeing that from any perspective, there was no reason for the Seven Star Destruction Formation’s array to be misplaced.
"Now Gu Chen is in trouble. We thought he had a firm grip on victory, but who would’ve expected Shen Ziyan and the others to have such a trump card? Is a peerless genius like him to fall before our eyes?"
For a moment, everyone couldn’t help but express their myriad emotions, the battle described as full of twists and turns, but now it seemed to be drawing to a close.
At this point on the battlefield, along with Shen Ziyan’s loud shout, the formation array in mid-air burst with blinding light, stretched across heaven and earth, stars shining everywhere.
Simultaneously, they threw their hands out, and the seven sacred artifacts, radiating immense fluctuations, rose into the air, circling the center of the Seven Star Destruction Formation in the void and aligning together.
