Chapter 515: I’ll Open Your Eyes
The clear skies were instantly plunged into a darkness reminiscent of an eternal night.?It enveloped the heavens and blotted out the skies!
The terrifying runes manifested of the restriction’s power were like a surging sea of black lightning. They gathered in the skies above Nine Tripod City, and as they churned, they produced deafening booms.
“The… The Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation!” Startled cries rang out. The entire city was shaken.
How many years had it been? This matchless killing formation had existed since antiquity, but it had been thousands of years since it last circulated. Yet now, the formation revealed its divine majesty in the skies of Nine Tripod City once more.
“The current Xia Emperor sure has guts!” Zeng Pu gasped, visibly stunned.
“And here I thought the Great Xia’s imperial family was afraid of the Huan Family. Who’d have thought that they’d attack without so much as a greeting….? Ruthless!” Gu Cangning’s eyes widened. This scene surprised him too.
No negotiations, no rebuke, not even a greeting. He just directly activated the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Suppression. This was unquestionably the strongest statement they could have made in the face of the demonic Huan Family!
All of the various major powers and monsters of the ancient era realized this, and all of them felt shaken.
How terrifying and ancient of a faction was the Demonic Huan Family?
Yet now that their Thousand Demon Treasure Ship had invaded the capital’s airspace, they immediately received the firmest response the imperial family could have given!
The vast majority of the onlookers hadn’t anticipated this.
Rumble!
The formation’s power churned, and a sea of black lightning raged overhead.
This destructive aura stimulated the woman in the phoenix-patterned robe. The look on her beautiful face shifted, and she couldn’t help but blurt, “Young Master, hurry up and retreat!”
The beautifully handsome, purple-haired young man’s expression shifted erratically too, but his eyes shone with madness and ferocity. “Retreat? Impossible! I’m actually rather eager to see whether or not the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation can really destroy us!”
This was the decision of a madman; it seemed he didn’t fear death at all.
But this was how the Huan Family conducted its affairs. Heavenly Demon True Blood flowed through their veins. When they lost it, they didn’t fear death in the slightest.
Boom!
Suddenly, a wave formed of black lightning rose up, as if intent on blanketing the sky. It slammed ruthlessly into the Thousand Demon Treasure Ship.
It was as if a deity were dancing in the skies, waving about a whip of pure lightning!
That terrifying destructive power made countless cultivators’ hearts quiver in terror, and their expressions filled with astonishment.
Bzzz!
The Thousand Demon Treasure Ship’s surroundings burst with misty light—the ship’s defensive formation. It had eighteen layers in total.
Bang!!!
However, in the face of the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation, the defensive formation amounted to little more than a paper shell. It instantly burst apart, scattering a furious rain of light, which spread out and dispersed.
The thousand-foot-long treasure ship spun like a top, shaking violently in midair. The hull was firm enough to block the full-force attack of a Spirit Dao cultivator, yet now, numerous startling cracks had appeared on its surface.
The purple-haired youth and the woman in a phoenix-patterned robe staggered and almost fell.
An alarmed cry emanated from the cabin: “Young Master, if things go on like this, the Thousand Demon Treasure Ship will break!”
The purple-haired young man’s expression was unsightly, and his eyes were bloodshot. He bellowed, “Aunt Wen, take out the Black Demon Blue Sun Umbrella! I refuse to believe it can’t block the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation’s power!”
The woman took a deep breath, but just as she was about to take action, a cold, indifferent voice emanated from the blood-colored jade pendant hanging from the purple-haired young man’s neck.
“You only just arrived in Nine Tripod City, you little shithead, yet you’ve already been forced to use the Black Demon Blue Sun Umbrella? Are you?trying?to bring shame upon your ancestors!?”
The purple-haired young man stiffened, and the woman in the phoenix robe was visibly shaken.
It was then that the power of the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation descended upon them once more, forming a raging sea of black lightning. It was even more terrifying than before.
“Watch closely, you worthless wretch!” That cold, indifferent voice rang out once more. An enormous blood-colored hand suddenly shot into the air, bringing with it monstrous and demonic crimson flames.
Boom!!!
Beneath countless disbelieving gazes, the blood-colored hand slapped the sea of black lightning into pieces. Dark electricity receded like waters at low tide.
“This…”
“What terrifying power!”
“There’s undoubtedly a terrifying existence protecting the Thousand Demon Treasure Ship!”
Startled cries rang out throughout the city.
In just one palm strike, this mysterious expert had disintegrated the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier’s attack. This made even the Spiritual Manifestation Experts’ hearts quiver in terror.
“Wonderful! And here I thought that since all that remained of you was your primordial spirit, you might just keel over on a moment’s notice. Who’d have thought you were still this strong…? You’re as fierce as ever, Great Uncle!” The purple-haired youth clucked his tongue and exclaimed.
However, his lady companion’s eyes revealed deep-seated dread.
She was well aware that the purple-haired youth’s “Great Uncle” was a frenzied and depraved old madman!
The cold voice within the crimson jade pendant rang out once more. “Fuck! If you don’t know how to flatter someone properly, just don’t flatter them, you little shit!”
Rumble!
As they conversed, the power of the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier surged into the air once more, as if it were boiling over. Another massive tidal wave of black lightning swept toward the Thousand Demon Treasure Ship on all sides.
Such power was terrifying beyond limit!
“Come on! Let’s charge right into Mount Heavenbristle and ask the old timers of the Xia Family who gave them the gall to stand in our way!” That voice rang out from within the crimson jade pendant. The speaker sounded calm, but his words were full of monstrous, domineering fire.
The Thousand Demon Treasure Ship shrank until it was just ninety feet long. Then, an illusory, blood-colored figure shot into the air, supported the treasure ship on his shoulders, and continued, taking big strides.
Watching from the ground, it was as if the blood-colored silhouette of a demonic god were soaring through the skies, a treasure ship on his shoulders. The terrifying demonic flames emanating from him left countless onlookers dumbstruck and tongue-tied.
Boom!
Suddenly, that crimson silhouette swung his fist, shattering the incoming power of the formation. Sparks fell like rain as the blood-red projection continued ahead.
Everyone could see that the power of the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation was helpless against that crimson silhouette.
“Terrifying! Which ancestor of the Demonic Huan Family is that?”
“They really live up to their reputation as the ancient era’s top demonic faction of demonic cultivators…”
Nine Tripod City was in uproar. That blood-colored figure’s heinous demonic majesty left everyone who saw it shaken to the core.
Azurecloud Court.
“A Spiritual Integration Realm cultivator’s primordial spirit!” The middle-aged man’s expression had already darkened.
Over in his wicker chair, Su Yi furrowed his brow. “Although the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation is damaged and its power is no longer what it once was, its remaining power is still incomparably extraordinary. Weng Jiu’s control of it… It’s so bad that it’s almost painful to watch…”
The middle-aged man was stunned. “Fellow Daoist, you think there’s a problem with how Ol’ Jiu’s circulating the formation ?”
“It’s not just ‘a problem,’” said Su Yi. He couldn’t help but rub his forehead. “He’s completely wasting its power.”
He felt much as if he’d just seen a little kid randomly waving a peerless divine sword about without the slightest technique, effectively making a mockery of it.
The middle-aged man’s expression went slightly rigid, and he seemed to have a bit of a guilty conscience. “Were?I to circulate?the formation instead, I could unleash close to forty percent of its power. I expect that wouldn’t be enough to destroy the Huan Family’s Spiritual Integration Realm primordial spirit either, but it could surely hold him back.”
“Just forty percent? That’s all?” Su Yi looked flabbergasted. Then, he sighed. “Having you control it is really… unfair to the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation.
The middle-aged man in simple cloth robes rubbed his nose and grimaced, but he couldn’t be bothered to respond to Su Yi’s jibes. Instead, he said, “Fellow Daoist, if you were controlling the formation…”
“Want to see?” asked Su Yi.
The middle-aged man didn’t so much as pause to think. “I do!”
“You sure? You’ll owe me a favor,” said Su Yi.
The middle-aged man straightforwardly agreed.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t have stopped this, but he was curious. Under Su Yi’s control, just how much power could the Nine Tripod Suppression Barrier Formation unleash?
Only then did Su Yi rise from his wicker chair and stretch lazily. “Sometimes, seeing good things get desecrated is hard to bear. This time, I’ll… I’ll open your eyes.”
Before his voice even finished echoing through the air, he took to the skies.
Rumble! Boom!
Beneath the dome of heaven, one wave of black lightning after another dispersed as the crimson silhouette continued charging ahead.
The crimson silhouette had already carried the Thousand Demon Treasure Ship to the center of the city, and he wasn’t far from Mount Heavenbristle, the home of the Great Xia’s imperial family!
When they saw this, the city’s cultivators were astonished. They all couldn’t help but wonder the same thing:?Don’t tell me the Great Xia’s imperial family is about to suffer a massive setback at the hands of the Huan Family?
If they really let the Huan Family break their rules and reach Mount Heavenbristle, it’ll leave their reputation in shambles!
“Hahaha, wait until I reach Mount Heavenbristle! I’ll be sure to ask the ol’ Xia Emperor just how this felt!” The purple-haired young man burst into laughter, wanton pride all over his face!
“Coward! We put in all this effort; how can we simply make him suffer? If he doesn’t offer up some good stuff to appease me, I’ll throw Mount Heavenbristle into uproar!” the blood-colored projection said coldly.
“Great Uncle, you’re still the most domineering of all!” the purple-haired young man laughed and complimented him.
It was then that a strange rhythm rang out.
They then watched as a ten-thousand-foot tripod shot into the distant skies. It was formed entirely out of the inscrutable power of the formation. Lightning surged around the tripod, a rain of light poured down, and runes flickered.
Boom!
When the tripod appeared over Nine Tripod City, a suffocating, murderous aura suddenly filled the air.
Those watching from below felt a chill course through them, and their hair stood on end. Indescribable terror and dread arose within their hearts.
“Watch this.” Su Yi stood before one of the city’s divine tripods, then casually tapped its surface.
Beneath Weng Jiu’s utterly flabbergasted gaze, the ten-thousand-foot tripod soared into the air, bearing down on the sky and descending upon that crimson projection.
Before even drawing near, the massive tripod’s energy fluctuations swept forth like an avalanche, enveloping that crimson silhouette on all sides. There was nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!
“Hm?” The crimson projection suddenly stopped; he sensed a threat and immediately swung his fist to meet it head-on.
However, a moment later, a deafening boom rang out. That crimson silhouette staggered back, almost as if he were drunk. The impact pushed him over a hundred feet back, and he almost fell from the sky!
