Chapter 2877: Breaking the Formation

Rumbling thunder echoed through the heavens and earth. Tens of thousands of golden lightning bolts streaked across the sky, powerfully striking down towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan below.

At the same time, ten Void-refining cultivators each took out a small, gleaming golden mirror. Tiny golden electric arcs pulsed on the surface of each mirror, exuding a violent aura. Every golden mirror was a low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure.

These were Qianlei Mirrors, crafted primarily from Qianlei Crystals.

As guardians of the Qianlei Crystal ore vein, it was natural for them to possess treasures refined from Qianlei Crystals.

They infused their magical power into the Qianlei Mirrors. The ten mirrors successively lit up with dazzling golden light, each emitting a thick beam of golden lightning. The ten beams converged, forming a golden lightning pillar over ten zhang in diameter, resembling a massive golden lightning sword, sweeping directly towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

The sea churned violently. Hundreds of water-spout tornadoes, each a hundred zhang in diameter, surged skyward, blocking the descending golden lightning. The golden lightning pillar, with overwhelming force, continuously shattered dozens of these water-spout tornadoes.

Then, a colossal wave over a thousand zhang high rose from the sea, carrying immense power. It crashed into the golden lightning pillar, shattering it into fragments and sending rolling shockwaves through the air.

The zither music grew increasingly rapid and sorrowful, as if weeping and lamenting.

Bian Lei's expression turned grim. He changed his incantation once more.

Deafening thunder roared from high above. A massive golden thundercloud appeared in the sky, churning and boiling like agitated water, with countless golden lightning snakes visible coiling within.

Large numbers of golden lightning snakes coalesced, transforming into a thick-waisted golden lightning python. Golden light burst from its body, and it elongated into a golden lightning flood dragon over a thousand zhang long, its entire form enveloped in countless golden electric arcs.

The golden lightning flood dragon swooped downwards, heading straight for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Bian Lei's divine sense fully extended, but he was unable to pinpoint Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan's true location.

He flicked his right hand, and six streaks of golden light shot out. These were six shimmering golden flying knives, each a low-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure.

After the golden flying knives ignited with blinding golden light, they merged into one, forming a golden greatblade about a zhang in length. The surface of the greatblade was covered in countless golden electric arcs.

The golden greatblade transformed into a golden rainbow, shooting straight towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan. A piercing roar resonated through the void in its wake.

Simultaneously, a huge phantom of a purple mink appeared above Bian Lei's head, more than half of its body shimmering with spiritual light, appearing almost corporeal.

Wang Changsheng raised his hands high. The sea churned violently, and a blue giant over a thousand zhang tall emerged from the water—the Kui Water Guardian.

Dazzling blue light emanated from several parts of the Kui Water Guardian's body, its facial features indistinct.

It moved its arms, and a barrage of blue fist shadows flew out, striking the golden lightning flood dragon. The flood dragon let out a tragic wail and exploded.

A blinding mass of golden lightning erupted, engulfing an area of over ten li and enveloping the Kui Water Guardian.

After a moment, the lightning dispersed, and the Kui Water Guardian emerged unharmed.

A loud whooshing sound rent the air as a golden rainbow shot forth.

The Kui Water Guardian stepped forward and unleashed a powerful punch with its right fist.

With a dull thud, the golden rainbow flew backward, transforming mid-flight into six shimmering golden flying knives.

Empowered by eighteen Sea-Calming Orbs, the Kui Water Guardian's divine abilities greatly increased.

A strange beast roar echoed, and a purple sound wave swept forth, instantly reaching its front.

The Kui Water Guardian's body distorted and deformed, seeming on the verge of collapsing at any moment.

After its body blazed with blue light, it moved its fists, shattering the purple sound wave.

Two streaks of yellow light shot forth, aimed directly at the Kui Water Guardian.

According to intelligence, the purple mink clan's Dharma Idols possessed petrification abilities, capable of petrifying human cultivators' treasures, so direct resistance was not advisable.

Wang Changsheng was already prepared. A colossal wave several hundred zhang high rose from the sea, crashing towards the two yellow lights.

With a thunderous roar, the two yellow lights were split and dispersed by the dense seawater.

Bian Lei frowned deeply, thinking, "True Monarch Taihao is truly formidable!" Just as he considered other tactics, Wang Changsheng summoned his Dharma Idol.

Bian Lei was astonished to see that Wang Changsheng's Dharma Idol was seven-tenths condensed.

His own Dharma Idol was only six-tenths condensed, showing a notable gap compared to Wang Changsheng's.

Wang Changsheng slammed his right fist towards the void. The humanoid phantom mimicked his action, and the sea churned violently. A ten-thousand-zhang-tall blue water mountain appeared out of thin air on the sea surface, rapidly crashing towards the silver light screen.

Since the enemy possessed petrification abilities, he dared not use physical treasures for attack, only able to control the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to strike his foe.

The Qianlei Mirrors in the hands of the ten Void-refining cultivators blazed with dazzling spiritual light, each emitting a thick golden lightning beam. They converged, forming a massive golden lightning pillar that easily shattered the blue water mountain.

The zither music grew more impassioned, evoking the sensation of a thousand armies clashing in battle.

Bian Lei's expression became increasingly displeased, and an inexplicable sense of irritation welled up within him.

He seemed to sense something and flickered his body, as three thick golden lightning beams shot forth, striking his previous position.

With a deafening roar, a large crater was formed in the ground.

"What are you doing!" Bian Lei exclaimed in shock and reprimanded them.

Three of the Void-refining cultivators had ferocious expressions and wild eyes, while five others seemed dazed, sometimes giggling foolishly, sometimes acting frantically, as if driven mad.

They had all fallen under an illusion, trapped in an illusory realm from which they could not escape.

The three Void-refining cultivators attacked Bian Lei. Bian Lei frowned, about to capture them; after all, they were his clansmen, and he was reluctant to kill them.

He had never imagined that Heavenly Zither Immortal's sound-based attack would be so potent, causing his clansmen to fall into an illusion so quickly.

Just then, the bodies of the three Void-refining cultivators began to swell rapidly.

"Oh no!" Bian Lei cried out in alarm, and spiritual light blazed from his body.

With thunderous roars, three blinding masses of spiritual light erupted within the silver light screen. The ground shook violently, and dust billowed.

The zither music grew more urgent, and the sea churned violently, raising colossal waves.

After a while, the dust settled. The five Void-refining cultivators, one after another, activated their Qianlei Mirrors, attacking Bian Lei, while the remaining two Void-refining cultivators' eyes also became dull, their expressions dazed.

Bian Lei's expression darkened. While casting spells to defend, he also conjured a small, purple-glowing pagoda. He imbued it with an incantation, and the purple pagoda instantly expanded, spewing forth a cloud of purple mist that enveloped three Void-refining cultivators, drawing them into the gigantic purple pagoda.

A deafening roar resounded. The silver light screen twisted and deformed, shaking violently, as a colossal, misty blue hand struck its surface.

Fine cracks appeared on the array disc in Bian Lei's hand, filling him with alarm.

At the same time, a blue giant over a thousand zhang tall stood before the silver light screen. Its arms blazed with blinding blue light as it struck the screen.

Just as Bian Lei was about to cast a spell to defend, a man's roaring shout, echoing through heaven and earth, resonated incessantly in his ears.

Bian Lei felt his sea of consciousness tearing apart, his head throbbing intensely, unable to even stand steadily.

Seizing this opportunity, the blue giant's arms smashed onto the silver light screen, producing dull thuds. Two massive dents appeared in the screen.

With a flash of golden light, a shimmering golden mini-mountain appeared out of thin air, exuding astonishing spiritual energy.

This was Jintan Mountain, a mid-grade Heaven-reaching Spirit Treasure, a Buddhist artifact, and a heavy-type treasure obtained from Chen Le.

After glowing with dazzling golden light, the mini-mountain instantly expanded to several hundred zhang tall, crashing down upon the silver light screen.

Following a massive impact, the silver light screen twisted and deformed, its spiritual light dimming.

The blue giant's palms, each adorned with nine Sea-Calming Orbs, blazed with greatly intensified blue light. The silver light screen shattered.

With the eighteen Sea-Calming Orbs and Jintan Mountain, the formation was successfully broken. Of course, Bian Lei was affected by the Soul-Subduing Roar and failed to infuse enough magical power in time; otherwise, Wang Changsheng would not have broken the seventh-tier formation so easily.
