The cooperation of the Absolute Saber and the Mountain and River Axe; if even that could not detain Ling Han, then something would be wrong.
“Humph!” Ma Duo Bao’s cold humph was heard from the skies. “For the sake of ———, I will spare your life, scram!”
The Third Killing Formation could not help but sneer. What a big boast, to actually dare tell him to scram! He raised his head to look upwards. Initially, his expression was one of disapproval, but immediately, his expression changed drastically. Though the masses could not see his expression, they could clearly see his entire body was trembling.
“You, you are…” he exclaimed in shock as if he had experienced a scare. His tone was filled with indescribable terror.
“Are you getting lost or not?” Ma Duo Bao rebuked harshly.
“Yes! Yes!” The Third Killing Formation did not even dare say another word. He actually just turned around and left, and in an instant, he had disappeared without a trace.
This…!
That was the Third Killing Formation that could kill even Shattering Void Tier, something formed by nature. How could it be that he would be scared off by just a single word?
Could it be that Ma Duo Bao had another identity? The Third Killing Formation had recognized him, then had been scared off and fled.
“Humph, you still dare to lose focus when you are exchanging blows with us?” Wu Gaoyuan and his group smirked coldly, and they all made their moves.
Hong!
Instantly, Ma Duo Bao was drowned in endless light. In this kind of highly intense battle, how could he split his attention?
Wu Gaoyuan and his group all smiled. Though the Third Killing Formation had been scared off, if they could kill Ma Duo Bao, or at least inflict a serious injury on him, it would be absolutely worth it.
As the brilliance dissipated, Ma Duo Bao stood there proudly, without even a scratch. If one had to insist, then there were a few places on his imperial robes that had been torn, which proved that he had indeed suffered the barrage of attacks just now. However, his body had not been wounded.
“What!?” Wu Gaoyuan and the others exclaimed in shock.
What was going on here? They all had battle prowess of eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier. If their attack landed solidly, so what if the other had battle prowess of twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier? He would still be severely wounded, or even killed directly.
“You, your physique…” Zuo Qifang came to realize. “It has reached the toughness of Level Ten precious metal!”
Pu!
Everyone choked in astonishment. Previously, that terrifying physique of Ling Han’s had already given them a psychological fear. Furthermore, Ling Han only had a monstrous physique, whereas his battle prowess was completely negligible.
But what about now? Ma Duo Bao’s battle prowess was already on top of everyone here, and adding this kind of powerful defense to the mix, how were they supposed to continue fighting?
Wu Gaoyuan and his group all swallowed with difficulty. This was the first time that they felt that they had completely lost control of the situation in this war. This Ma Duo Bao could completely match the alternative dragon from years ago. His battle prowess was invincible, and his defenses were unbreakable. Even if Immortals descended, what could they do against him?
Thankfully, Shattering Void Tier elites still had a limited lifespan. Time was the strongest weapon. I couldn’t kill you, but I could trap you in the prison of this Realm until your death.
Ma Duo Bao smiled calmly, and countered, “Without this bit of ability, what use is there to speak of splitting open the skies?”
Shua , his aura was spiking crazily, killing intent surging forth. Even Wu Gaoyuan and the others felt a chill run down their backs, goosebumps covering their whole bodies. They felt that he could kill them just by raising his hand.
Chapter 835 - First Killing Formation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Humans, how could they be so powerful until such an extent?
Eighteen Stars of Shattering Void Tier, this was practically already the ultimate battle prowess of this tier, and there were actually as many as seven people who had attained it. By joining forces, they could definitely rival someone with Twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier, so why did they still feel trepidation?
Could it be that Ma Duo Bao’s battle prowess surpassed that of twenty Stars?
“Impossible!”
Wu Gaoyuan and others shook their heads; they absolutely could not believe that one could surpass the battle prowess limit of twenty Stars. Even the descendants of divine beasts and sages could rarely achieve the battle prowess of twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier, let alone surpass it.
“We must get rid of him today! Otherwise, given the boost of power of the nation, he will only become stronger!” Zuo Qifang said.
“Attack!” Xiao Miaoyan screamed, brandishing a long blood-red sword. She then made a cut at her eyebrows; her forehead broke open, and a drop of crimson blood rushed forth, as thick and viscous as if it had crystallized.
The moment this drop of blood appeared, heaven and earth were moved; black clouds began to roll, with blazing white lighting looming in the background.
This drop of blood was just too powerful. It was strong to the point of almost exceeding the limit of this realm, which resulted in the reaction of heaven and earth.
“Immortal Blood!” Ma Duo Bao was finally showing a cautious expression.
The Immortals really didn’t just send five people down, but also sent personal artifacts! Although a drop of blood couldn’t represent the Immortals at all, could one imagine the power of Immortal’s blood in this Lower Realm?
Xiao Miaoyan began mumbling something; it was unknown what she was mumbling about. At this moment, this drop of Immortal’s blood was transformed into a sudden rain that splashed on her long sword. Suddenly, this sword exuded an endless brilliance; its power could even suppress that of the Mountain And River Axe.
Just a single drop of Immortal’s blood could boost the sword’s power to an extent where it could at least rival the real Mountain and River Axe. It was really too terrifying.
It was the same for Zuo Qifang and the others. They each took out a drop of Immortal’s blood and smeared it on their own Spirit Tools. In an instant, their auras became more terrifying by several times, just as if they had taken on the body of Immortals.
Now, the battle prowess of these five people would have reached Twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier; each one of them wouldn’t be any inferior to Ma Duo Bao.
“Die!”
The five people joined forces, with each of them launching powerful attacks. The five Spirit Tools unleashed their power that surged upwards, causing a great number of stars to fall.
How could this be blocked?
With the power of the five being twenty Stars of Shattering Void Tier, even a physique of Level Ten precious metal would still be slashed apart! Could Ma Duo Bao also have the terrifying healing ability like Ling Han?
Everything would end!
Ma Duo Bao had a solemn expression; strong as he might be, he didn’t dare to look lightly upon the battle prowess of twenty Stars of Shattering Voir Tier, not to mention when his opponents were as many as five! He held out his finger, and gently tapped chest, saying, “Release!”
Weng!
In an instant, endless killing intent began circulating; while his body was emitting white light, one could clearly see that his exposed skin was covered with glowing patterns—ancient, thick, and imposing.
What was even more astonishing was the killing intent. The sight of these patterns could make a person’s heart feel fear and flesh shiver. People with lower cultivation level would immediately be blinded at first sight.
Martial intent?
No, these were patterns of a formation!
Ling Han had seen Yin Hong brand formation patterns on her own body. This was very practical; using her own bod
y as a formation, the power of the patterns could be activated anytime for attack or defense. Yet, these formation patterns on Ma Duo Bao… it seemed as if he was born with them!
So much so that Ling Han doubted that that anyone could reproduce these patterns. This was because they were extremely uncomfortable to the eyes just by looking at them, and this was when he had activated the Eye of Truth and was circulating Sword Heart at the same time.
Would ordinary Shattering Void Tier cultivators dare to stare at it? Yet, if one didn’t even dare to look at it, how could one reproduce these patterns? Being so complex, how could they be mastered if one had not studied them meticulously for decades, or even centuries?
Born with these patterns? Damn, then he would be the same as the Third Killing Formation!
It was no wonder that he had shown mercy to the Third Killing Formation previously and his manner of speaking was odd. It was no wonder that the Third Killing Formation was so emotionally moved; it was because they were “similar” and recognized each other.
But, the Third Killing Formation was actually scared off by a single word from Ma Duo Bao. What did this mean?
“The world’s… First Killing Formation!” The five people including Zuo Qifang all halted their attacks simultaneously, while their faces revealed expressions of horror.
Ma Duo Bao was unexpectedly a natural formation in human form, and the First Killing Formation at that!
Legend had it that the First Killing Formation could slaughter Immortals. How could the group of five including Zuo Qifang not be afraid? They had yet to become Immortals.
Ling Han finally understood. It was no wonder that when Ma Duo Bao had gotten on top of the Martial Stone, he had left behind “number one” as his name; this was not just his pride, but also his real name.
The world’s First Killing Formation.
Ma Duo Bao dealt out a blow, and hong , endless killing intent circulated, and the entire realm became shrouded. Everywhere the white light swept past, space was forcefully torn open, and endless energy flowed through in disorder; its impact was incomparably terrifying.
This was his true strength, the world’s First Killing Formation that could slaughter Immortals!
The group of five including Zou Qifang were forced to stand together into a corner; they joined forces to confront the attack. So what if the strongest Spirit Tools in the world joined forces? They were still suppressed; they could barely defend themselves.
Pu, pu, pu, blood was splashing out from their bodies, and they became heavily injured in an instant.
This made the five great sects and Thousand Corpse Sect lose hope. The world’s First Killing Formation… it would kill whatever stood in its path, be it Gods or Buddha. In this small realm, it was absolutely invincible. Otherwise, would it be crowned as the “number one”?
Hong!
At this moment, something weird happened. Coming out from the crevice in space Ma Duo Bao had torn open was the bow of a ship!
Since the crevice in space was not very big, only a tiny bit of the bow of the ship came out. However, this tiny bit was enough to make everyone weak in the knees, causing them to neatly fall from the sky.
No one was an exception; it was the same for the group of five including Zou Qifang, the Eighteen-eyed Corpse Kings, and even Ma Duo Bao.
Peng, peng, peng , more than a hundred Shattering Void Tier cultivators had fallen from the sky like dumplings, and every one of them had fallen down pitifully. They were in an incomparably miserable state.
This scene was actually a bit funny since no one expected Shattering Void Tier cultivators could also become like this, but no one was able to laugh at this moment. Instead, their expressions revealed unsurpassed horror.
Everyone knew that the Void was the most dangerous place in the world. If one was to land within it, even the physique of Level Ten precious metal would be quickly torn into pieces. Yet, it was indeed too difficult to open up the Void. This could only be done by Shattering Void Tier cultivators, thereby opening up a channel to enter into the Immortal realm.
Yet, shattering the Void was an absolutely dangerous matter; one could easily fall to death. Even if there weren’t any ambush from the Great Formation put up by the five great sects, the maximum number of cultivators of the Shattering Void Tier who could successfully shatter the Void was only half.
But an entire ship was coming out through the Void!
This was like a myth. What materials could resist the destructive power of the Void?
In that moment, everyone had lost any intention of fighting. They were only left with feelings of shock and puzzlement.
This ship… what did it represent?
Hong, hong, hong , the bow of the ship gently struck the crevice in space. It obviously didn’t seem heavy, but after each impact, the heavens were shaken. Even cultivators of the Shattering Void Tier couldn’t help but vomit blood as this impact seemed to have directly hit their hearts.
Black Tower vibrated gently inside him. Ling Han remained nonchalant as if nothing happened; so did Hu Niu. This little girl was similarly very strange.
Chapter 836 - The Huge Ship That Came Out the Void
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hong!
Finally, after the impact from striking at the crevice more than a dozen times, the bow of the ship appeared completely. The entire hull of the ship followed suit, sliding through the opening due to the pull of gravity, and came crashing down to the ground.
Peng , the bow of the ship hit a mountain peak, and the latter easily collapsed. The Great Protective Formation was practically useless; that shield of light barrier immediately crumbled into innumerable fragments upon impact, scattered into an infinite distance.
The lofty mountain collapsed as if it were made of sand and stones, which would completely disintegrate with just a single touch. Once the bow hit the ground, the entire ship swerved downwards loudly, and landed on the ground with a deafening bang. The ship lay flat on the ground, appearing as if it was sailing.
The ship was extremely long and tall; its length was nearly one kilometer, while its height was more than 170 meters. From a distance, it looked like a small mountain. The ship’s entire hull was dark green in color, and mainly made of wood, yet it was impossible to ascertain which tree species the wood belonged to.
A ship made of wood was capable of resisting the powerful pressure and tearing force of the Void?
How could this be acceptable!
It was unknown how many years the ship had existed within the Void. The flag placed at the bow of the ship was completely destroyed, leaving only the bare flagpole. Aside from that, there were several holes in the ship’s hull, which appeared to be caused by external bombardment.
If the ship had been bombarded within the Void, then that would be acceptable. However, if the ship had already been bombarded before entering the Void, then that would indeed be extremely scary.
Whose strength was so powerful to have caused such damage to the ship that even the Void couldn’t do anything to, and what kind of destructive power could have achieved this?
The latter possibility was more likely; given that the Void could blast holes in the hull of the ship, how could it just blast a few holes? It would have certainly destroyed the entire ship.
The big ship lay there quietly. Although it caused a stir when it appeared, it was now extremely quiet. The hull was originally shining, but its luster now appeared somewhat dim. It looked ordinary—those who didn’t know the truth would have thought that a terrible tsunami had brought this ship here from the sea.
The pressure had weakened a lot; although it still made people somewhat uncomfortable, there was no longer that agonizing feeling that made people vomit blood.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes were burning.
Since this ship could pass through the Void without being destroyed, it was precisely a treasure in and of itself! If the ship could be dismantled and its ma
terials used for refining, there was no knowing how many high-grade Spirit Tools could be made from it. Moreover, with the hull already being so precious, if there was something inside it, then what kind of treasure would that be?
What use was there to continue fighting!
Everyone rushed towards the big ship. They wanted to leap onto the deck and enter the ship through the cabin doors, but soon discovered that they simply couldn’t make it onto the deck.
It was merely a height of 170 meters or so, yet it was like an insurmountable mountain—no matter how high they jumped or flew, they were always lacking a little bit. They had no way of landing on the top of the ship.
The same was true for Shattering Void Tier cultivators.
This made them even more certain that this was truly a treasure, a treasure that would transcend everything. Even in the Immortal Realm, it would be something that everyone would fight tooth and nail for.
If the deck couldn’t be reached, then weren’t there some holes in the ship’s hull?
Someone gave it a try, and proceeded to enter smoothly. This made others excited, and they quickly followed suit.
Should there be any godly artefact inside the ship, it might immediately turn the tide of the battle.
“Your Majesty!” The Eight Kings simultaneously looked at Ma Duo Bao.
“Let’s go in to take a look!” Ma Duo Bao nodded. He tried to block the five great sects and Thousand Corpse Sect from entering, but his power immediately disappeared as soon as he approached the big ship.
Now, everyone’s battle prowess was no longer important. The important point was that this ship could change everything!
“Tanned brother, what about you?” Ma Duo Bao turned around to ask Ling Han.
“I will go in by myself.” Ling Han nodded.
“Good!” Mad Duo Bao left the thousand elite troops behind. Leading the Eight Kings, he entered through one of the holes in the ship’s hull.
Ling Han brought out Zhu Xuan Er, Rabbit, and Gold-seeking Rat from the Black Tower, and recounted to them what had happened earlier.
