The Flame Sun Alliance's patriarch stepped forward steadily, each step a hammer striking at everyone's heartstrings. His imposing presence radiated like a surging wave. His cold eyes swept across Shen Liefeng like a sharp blade, his tone thick with disdain: "Shen Liefeng, normally you're so arrogant, but now you're just crying and wailing. You're a disgrace to our Flame Sun Alliance!" He slowly turned, his gaze piercing Yu Kai and Liu Ling like a sword, his expression complex and unreadable. He had been in seclusion for a long time, single-mindedly striving for a breakthrough. He wouldn't have emerged easily unless the situation was dire. Furthermore, Yu Kai's status was special, and he didn't want to engage him lightly.
Yu Kai met the gaze of the Yanyang Alliance patriarch fearlessly, his eyes as resolute as steel, his head held high, as if declaring his fearlessness to heaven and earth. Meanwhile, Liu Ling, filled with fear, cowered behind Yu Kai, her small hands clutching tightly at the hem of his shirt. Deep worry etched her features, her slightly trembling body betraying her innermost terror.
The Yan Yang Alliance's patriarch remained silent for a long time, seemingly weighing the pros and cons in his mind. Finally, a cold snort shattered the silence: "Yu Kai, as the Holy Prince appointed by Heaven, how dare you act recklessly on the territory of our Yan Yang Alliance, murdering our Young Leader, injuring our disciples and elders, and even stealing our foundational formation!" As the words fell, murderous intent surged from his body, transforming into an invisible storm that crushed Yu Kai like a tidal wave.
Yu Kai's Devouring Laws circulated frantically, like a glutton devouring the heavens, devouring the overwhelming murderous intent without a trace. Then, he passed the Nine Suns Burning Heaven Formation he had captured to the Formation Devourer. The Formation Devourer's mouth watered at the sight of the nine softly glowing orbs Yu Kai offered. It knew this was the essence of the formation, imbued with boundless power.
The Formation Devourer wasn't shy either. It opened its maw wide and devoured the nine small light balls, one at a time, in the blink of an eye. Then, completely ignoring the rage-filled, sinister expression of the Yanyang Alliance Patriarch, it climbed directly onto Yu Kai's shoulder and began to absorb them with great relish. The people around gasped at the sight, whispering among themselves, speculating about the origins of this demonic beast, which had been able to devour such a powerful formation base.
Liu Ling was equally astonished, secretly marveling at the fact that this Formation Devourer was anything but ordinary. Her gaze fixed on its six-winged, snake-like form, she mentally compared it to the various demonic beasts she knew.
The Yanyang Alliance's patriarch's expression darkened. Yu Kai's disregard for him utterly enraged him. A chariot-shaped blade suddenly materialized in his hand. Its edges were sharp as sawteeth, each serration gleaming with a chilling light. The serrations shone like flames, as if poised to burst into flames and unleash destructive power. The crowds in the distance, observing this, fled in terror. They all knew that True Man Chixiao was enraged. This chariot was his renowned weapon—the Nine Sun Wheel. Forged from crimson meteorite, its surface radiated a cool metallic sheen, and faint golden runes swirled across it. These runes glowed faintly as the wheel spun, resembling nine golden dragons slithering across it, a mysterious and powerful sight.
The wheel whirred out, like a flaming meteor, and slammed down towards Yu Kai. Instantly, nine golden dragons soared from the wheel, instantly growing immensely larger and lunging at Yu Kai with bared fangs and claws. Their roars shook the earth, their might terrifying. Wherever they passed, the surrounding buildings crumbled like playing cards. Countless weaker cultivators were crushed to dust by the dragons' might, emitting mournful howls.
"Senior, please help me take care of Miss Liu. I'll go kill him!" Yu Kai said to the Formation Devouring Beast, staring intently at the nine-headed golden dragon that was charging at him. He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, but seeing these innocent people being killed, he couldn't bear it and rushed out resolutely.
"Go, I will take good care of her!" The six wings of the Array-Devouring Beast flapped rapidly, and at the same time, a spiritual power wrapped Liu Ling like a soft gauze, and quickly retreated backwards.
"Senior, will Yu Kai be okay?" Liu Ling looked at Yu Kai who rushed forward and asked the Formation-Devouring Beast with a trembling voice.
"Don't worry, this kid's formidable!" The Formation Devourer stopped in the distance and gently landed on Liu Ling's shoulder. Its single eye warily gazed across the void, the sudden appearance of the donkey and the old monk instantly putting it on guard. Outwardly, it appeared calm, but inwardly, a sense of trepidation loomed within its soul sea, ready to deploy any emergency.
"Master, the snake demon is there. Do you want me to capture it?" The donkey spoke in human language, with a hint of eagerness in his tone.
"Don't go. The Yin-Yang Fish Inkstone just warned you that this demon has a trick up its sleeve. If you act rashly, you'll likely suffer a great loss. Let's wait and see. Perhaps Yu Kai is truly the one who can save the world from disaster." The old monk said this, then turned his gaze to Yu Kai. His sword intent surged, his energy swirling like a galaxy, pinning the Nine Dragons down. His sword beams shone brightly, piercing through each golden dragon like a meteor chasing the moon.
"This is the Moon Spirit Holy Sword, Chu Yuelan's sword!" The old monk obviously recognized the sword, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Is this the boy who founded the Moon Spirit Holy Land back then? Is this his successor?" The donkey's mind also emerged with the young man who was bullied by it in the past, and asked in confusion.
"I don't know. But looking at this sword move, it seems to have the sword intent of Tongtian Zhuxian!" The old monk muttered in a low voice, "I haven't heard that Tongtian has accepted new disciples!"
"How could he dare to accept it? During the Conferred Gods War, some of his disciples died, some defected, and there were thousands of immortals who came to pay homage, but in the end, only a few were left." The donkey said with emotion.
At that moment, two powerful auras swept towards them like angry dragons. Yu Kai frowned slightly, and without hesitation, he poured all his spiritual energy into the Moon Spirit Sacred Sword like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. Then, he swung the sword with all his might. The powerful sword light flashed like a rainbow piercing the sun, streaking across the sky. The nine-headed golden dragon's eyes flashed with fear, and it tried to escape, but it was too late.
Nine dragon heads flew away like kites with their strings cut. The Nine Sun Wheels behind them suddenly cracked as if struck by lightning, leaving a web of cracks. True Man Chi Xiao, struck by a powerful backlash, spurted out a mouthful of blood, his body uncontrollably falling back through the air. The Yan Yang Alliance below, observing this, were horrified and cried out in unison, "Ancestor!" If their ancestor met with any misfortune, the Yan Yang Alliance would undoubtedly face disastrous consequences.
However, Yu Kai had no intention of letting him go. He slashed out another sword beam as fast as lightning. The sword beam was extremely sharp, like a scythe of the god of death, and slashed towards Chi Xiao fiercely.
Chi Xiao quickly steadied himself, knowing that if he couldn't block the blow, he would surely perish. Without hesitation, he activated the Nine Yang Wheel with all his might. The cracked Nine Yang Wheel was instantly engulfed in blazing flames, like a dying fire beast, desperately charging towards Yu Kai's sword.
With a resounding boom, the very world seemed to tremble. Yu Kai's sword was momentarily halted, but the Nine Sun Wheel exploded in mid-air. Countless wrecks of the wheel flew like cannonballs, blasting massive holes through Xuanyang Tiancheng. The earth rumbled, the deafening sound threatening to tear the world apart.
