Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Between heaven and earth, within the grand formation.

The violent airflow stirred the bodies of all living beings, causing them to lose control of their flying swords and fall from the sky.

These people quickly stabilized themselves using the "Empty Dance Technique" to prevent themselves from falling to their deaths. However, no one checked if they were injured. Instead, their gazes immediately turned towards the direction of Qian Jue Peak.

The massive shockwaves generated by the bombardment gradually dissipated, revealing the destructive power caused by the "Extinguish Immortal Cannon" in front of everyone.

Then, they realized that the cannon didn't hit the enormous blood-colored silhouette surrounded by the sky, but rather Qian Jue Peak beneath their feet!

Everyone took a deep breath.

Is this the true power of the "Extinguish Immortal Cannon"?

Qian Jue Peak, which should have been protected by the sect's mountain guarding formation, now had a large hole several hundred zhang in diameter. A beam of thick white light shone through this hole, illuminating a corner of the market.

Following that, Qian Jue Peak collapsed like a stack of blocks, and the magnificent buildings on the peak crumbled like paper, accompanied by falling rocks and dust.

At the same time, countless enormous tree roots, resembling coiling dragons, were discovered hidden within the rocks.

The once towering demonic tree quickly withered, and something seemed to be repeatedly expanding within its trunk. Countless streams of crimson golden light shot out from the trunk, piercing through the heavens and earth.

"Boom~"

The demonic tree exploded, and a disheveled figure swiftly darted out. It was none other than Wei Qianqiu, wielding the Asura Blood Blade.

"Chu Xianxiong, you ruined my Soul Formation and destroyed my longevity. I will perish together with you all!"

Wei Qianqiu's robe was completely destroyed, making him look like a beggar. His originally dignified face was now twisted, glaring fiercely at Chu Xianxiong in the distance.

As they looked at the former Vice Sect Master of Purple Cloud Sect, everyone felt a lightness in their bodies, and their forcibly absorbed spiritual energy began to return to normal.

The red color in the sky was disappearing, revealing its original appearance.

This entire Qian Jue Peak was the location of the "Bloodthirsty Demon Array" and the "Inverted Five Elements Formation." With this cannon shot, the formation was instantly broken.

Following that, the people in the market suddenly felt a lightness under their feet.

The "Forbidden Air Formation" set up underground in the market had lost its effect.

Some Independent Cultivators who still had a breath of life immediately noticed this and quickly mounted their flying swords, scattering like headless flies outside the range of the grand formation.

Their only thought was to escape from this place, even if it meant becoming the feces of the demonic beasts.

Vermilion Bird Mountain and the members of the Five Great Sects naturally didn't need to escape. There was no need.

The question of why Chu Xianxiong didn't attack Wei Qianqiu but instead attacked Qian Jue Peak was also answered.

So that's how it is!

Wei Qianqiu, who was hovering under the calamity clouds, was not actually there. It was just an illusion to deceive everyone. His true body had long been hidden within the trunk of the demonic tree.

No wonder he was so confident in the face of the "Extinguish Immortal Cannon."

The "Extinguish Immortal Cannon" had tremendous power, but it came with a flaw.

It couldn't be fired continuously, and the interval between shots was too long. After one shot, someone had to enter the rear formation of the cannon and remove the scrapped spirit stones from the array nodes, then refill them with new spirit stones, without the slightest error.

Wei Qianqiu had already calculated everything. During this time, he had already withstood the Ninefold Thunder Tribulation and advanced to the Soul Formation stage.

With the Sixth Stage Empty Void-level Asura Blood Blade in hand, even if he faced the "Extinguish Immortal Cannon" again, he had great confidence in taking this blow.

All the previous arrangements were aimed at refining the cultivators here, achieving Soul Formation, and increasing their lifespan by another three thousand years.

On the other hand, whether it was the "Spiritual Ascension Shadow," the seemingly ready to transcend tribulation silhouette under the calamity clouds, or the demonic tree's spreading demonic energy...

All of these created the illusion that his true body was within the illusion, achieving the goal of luring the enemy.

"The meticulousness of this person's thoughts is unparalleled in this lifetime!"

Chu Xianxiong and the others admired in their hearts.

If Lin Xiu knew about all this, he could express it in just two words.

Deceiving the cannon!

But at this moment, Lin Xiu was not in the mood for it.

The destruction caused by the "Immortal Annihilation Cannon" was immense. Although he had blocked most of the power with the "Profound Heaven Sealing Immortal Circle," he still suffered significant internal injuries.

"This broken thing dares to call itself 'space,' it's really worthless!"

Lin Xiu's nose and mouth were bleeding, and the other two women also had pale faces.

However, he soon realized that after the huge shock, the feeling of surging blood seemed to disappear.

"What happened outside?"

After secretly releasing a strand of spiritual awareness, he saw a scene of various people fleeing in all directions like flowing arrows. The originally blood-red space had returned to clarity.

The formation was broken!

But Wei Qianqiu was severely injured but not dead. A great battle would surely erupt soon.

He quickly threw the dim "Sealing Immortal Circle" into the Jiao Pearl and carried it as he ran out.

Originally, he was very close to the eastern edge of the market, and it only took him half a stick of incense to escape the range covered by the formation.

Soon after, he stood on a mountainside, looking back at the distant Thousand Despair Peak site where a strong spiritual energy fluctuation erupted. He knew that Wei Qianqiu had already started fighting with the other party.

However, a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Why didn't he see any disciples of Thousand Despair Peak from beginning to end?

Were they all sacrificed by him?

But the thought quickly passed.

What does it have to do with him?

He surveyed the surroundings and it seemed that none of the cultivators flying in the sky noticed him.

He took out the white jade flying boat, flicked his hand, and immediately transformed it into a size of two zhang before jumping on it.

"Finally escaped!"

After sighing, he piloted the flying boat, turning into a shooting star, heading straight for the northeast of the Thousand Despair Mountains.

Several Foundation Building Independent Cultivators who were traveling together looked at Lin Xiu speeding past them, their eyes shining as if they had encountered a savior.

"Fellow Daoist, can we hitch a ride? We'll pay whatever price you ask!"

"Get lost!"

The flying boat wagged its tail dismissively, quickly leaving the several people behind.

The Foundation Building cultivator was itching with hatred, but when he looked at the green defensive formation outside the flying boat, he had to give up the idea of killing and robbing.

How could they rob it when the flying boat could withstand a third-level demonic beast? They were not Gold Core experts.

But speaking of which, if they were Gold Core experts, they would have run away with their own strength.

At this moment, several second-level eagle demons seemed to have discovered them. With golden wings, they flew over at high speed, and several Foundation Building Independent Cultivators were caught in a bitter battle.

And such scenes were constantly playing out in the Thousand Despair Mountains.

The number of people who could fly out of this mountain range alive would probably be astonishingly small.

Lin Xiu also encountered countless attacks from demonic beasts.

But under the powerful defense of the third-level flying boat, the demonic beasts either exploded and died upon impact or avoided its edge, not daring to approach at all.

He was not idle either. As he flew over the Thousand Despair Mountains, he unexpectedly found seven or eight second-level demonic cores in his pocket, which was a pleasant surprise.

However, just as he was feeling pleased and grateful for escaping, he suddenly became startled.

In the far distance, a fleet of flying boats was flying towards him in a grand manner. Judging from the scale, it was probably not smaller than the Vermilion Bird Mountain's cultivator army.

Damn, did Thousand Despair Peak violate any heavenly rules?

Why did the Northern Demon Nation's army appear here?
