Chapter 161 If I can’t kill him now, can’t I just break through?

“Hahaha, excellent, excellent!”

“So that’s it, so that’s it!”

“Li Xuanfeng, so this was your plan!”

“On the surface, you feigned cooperation with the Myriad Formations King, tricking him into giving you his Legacy and erasing his mark, but in reality, your heart leaned more towards my side!”

“Very good, your choice is correct!”

“I understand you. You want both the Myriad Formations King’s Legacy and my Soul secret technique; you don’t want to lose either!”

“Giving them the Myriad Formations King’s Legacy in exchange for their Family’s protection is a very correct approach!”

“I’m in a very good mood, so I’ve decided to teach you the Soul secret technique, but you must first help me break open the Formation from the inside!”

The Soul Devourer King’s excited voice echoed.

“Old man, what are you so excited about?”

Li Xuanfeng glanced at him indifferently.

“What do you mean?”

The Soul Devourer King’s smile vanished instantly.

“If your Soul secret technique was really that powerful, why would you have been trapped here for so long?”

“Stop struggling to break the Formation; just wait for me to come and kill you!”

Li Xuanfeng’s words were like a bucket of cold water poured directly over the Soul Devourer King.

“Li True Disciple, you should still refine the Formation core. Only then can we slay the Soul Devourer King!”

Mingyue Xue waved her jade hand, and the Formation seal flew back in front of Li Xuanfeng.

The originally despairing Myriad Formations King’s eyes lit up with hope.

It didn’t matter whether Li Xuanfeng wanted the other things in the Legacy; as long as he refined the Formation core and controlled the Star River Grand Formation, the outcome would be the same!

Seeing this scene, the Soul Devourer King’s heart sank.

It’s over!

He rejoiced too soon!

He was probably going to experience extreme joy turning into sorrow!

The Formation core of a King-tier Formation was not that easy to refine; it required a long time.

Before Li Xuanfeng could completely refine it, he might not be able to successfully break through the Formation.

However, Li Xuanfeng’s next words made the Soul Devourer King freeze, and everyone present was completely stunned.

“How can something that has already been given away be taken back?!”

Li Xuanfeng flicked his finger, and the Formation seal floated back in front of the Mingyue sisters.

Everyone was bewildered again.

Even the Mingyue sisters were full of surprise.

Li Xuanfeng was indeed a Prodigy, indeed powerful, capable of easily instantly killing those invincible below the King tier.

But the Soul Devourer King was not invincible below the King tier!

He was a genuine King Realm expert!

Even though he was only a remnant Soul now, he was still in the King Realm!

He still retained a lot of power; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so difficult for the Myriad Formations King to suppress him.

Without the power of a King-tier Formation, even Li Xuanfeng couldn’t kill him!

There was a qualitative gap between a King and a non-King, which no one had been able to bridge with Cultivation alone!

It wasn’t hard to see from the previous battle that Li Xuanfeng couldn’t fully revive a King-tier Dao weapon, so it was impossible for him to slay the Soul Devourer King!

“Without the Star River Grand Formation, you can’t kill him!”

The Myriad Formations King finally couldn’t hold back.

“Why would I need the power of a Formation to kill him?”

Li Xuanfeng’s tone was calm.

“He is a true King Realm. If my current remnant Soul is less than one-tenth of my Peak complete Soul!”

“Then he still has at least four-tenths or even five-tenths of his Soul integrity!”

“Even if you can instantly kill those invincible below the King tier, you are definitely not his opponent. Only by mobilizing at least thirty percent of the King-tier Formation’s power can you suppress and kill him!”

The Myriad Formations King’s expression was very solemn.

At that time, his remnant Soul integrity was similar to the Soul Devourer King’s, but after several struggles, with one diminishing and the other growing, the gap had long become enormous.

If he hadn’t engraved a complete Formation in his remnant Soul in advance, the Soul Devourer King would have torn him to shreds long ago.

Even so, his Formation was still tottering and wouldn’t last much longer.

“If I can’t kill him now, why not just Breakthrough?”

Li Xuanfeng’s expression remained calm.

The Myriad Formations King fell silent.

Breakthrough?

Did he want to Breakthrough by leveraging the Legacy anointment?

But what then?

Even if Li Xuanfeng broke through twice more, he might not possess the strength to suppress and kill the Soul Devourer King!

The Soul Devourer King was not some Life and Death Realm Peak, nor was he invincible below the King tier; he was a genuine King Realm!

A King Realm whose strength was greatly weakened because he only had a remnant Soul left!

Even so, he was not comparable to any Life and Death Realm Cultivator, even if that person was Li Xuanfeng!

As the Soul Devourer King’s old rival, only the Myriad Formations King knew how terrifying he was.

At his Peak, the Soul Devourer King was an outstanding figure even among King Realm experts, rarely encountering a worthy opponent!

For Li Xuanfeng to kill him, using a King-tier Formation was the safest option.

“Alas~”

A myriad of thoughts passed through his mind, finally turning into a long sigh.

He knew that a Prodigy like Li Xuanfeng had had too smooth a journey, just like Zhang Yan before him, never experiencing failure, and thus was incredibly confident in himself.

Arrogant and stubborn!

Once such a person made a decision, he couldn’t be persuaded by a few words from him.

Only when he hit a wall himself would he turn back!

“Forget it!”

The Myriad Formations King looked up at the sky, closed his eyes, completely disappointed and completely disheartened.

This time, the Soul Devourer King behaved very quietly.

Li Xuanfeng had messed with his mindset several times already, and he didn’t want to show any more emotion before successfully breaking through the Formation.

However, he was actually very excited inside.

Li Xuanfeng’s choice was exactly what he wanted!

Moreover, the Myriad Formations King had completely lost his fighting spirit. Originally, it would have taken him a lot of time to break through the Formation.

Now, that time could be greatly shortened.

The Soul Devourer King held his breath and continued to assault the Formation.

He just waited for the moment he broke out of the Formation, when he would definitely “thank” Li Xuanfeng properly!

Seeing the Myriad Formations King’s utterly disappointed and dispirited look, Li Xuanfeng didn’t explain much.

“First, seize the time to receive the Legacy anointment. Refining the other things later is not too late!”

Li Xuanfeng looked at the Mingyue sisters.

“Okay!”

The two of them originally wanted to refine the Formation core first, but hearing Li Xuanfeng say this, they could only nod.

The sisters quickly distributed the Legacy.

Only then did the System prompt sound.

“Ding! Mingyue Qing obtained the King-tier High Grade Formation Star River Formation seal. One hundredfold return, you obtained the King-tier Ultimate Peak Formation Star Dou Formation seal!”

“Ding! Mingyue Qing obtained the King-tier High Grade Formation Master memory rune. One hundredfold return, you obtained the King-tier Ultimate Peak Formation Master memory rune!”

“Ding! Mingyue Xue obtained the King-tier High Grade Formation Master comprehension rune. One hundredfold return, you obtained the King-tier Ultimate Peak Formation Master comprehension rune!”

“Ding! Mingyue Xue obtained…”

All the Legacy items were returned to Li Xuanfeng one by one.

Among them, the most precious were still the Formation seal, memory rune, and comprehension rune.

“While they are receiving the Legacy anointment, I will first refine the Formation seal of this Star Dou Grand Formation!”

Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.

Then he directly took out the Town Mountain Pagoda and stepped into it.

The Myriad Formations King, who was already utterly disappointed, felt his heart turn to ashes after seeing this scene.

Although he was disappointed just now, he hadn’t completely despaired.

After all, Li Xuanfeng said he could kill the Soul Devourer King after breaking through.

Even if the Myriad Formations King didn’t believe it, he still held a tiny, faint glimmer of hope for such a unique Prodigy.

But what exactly was Li Xuanfeng doing?

Was he not going to accept the Legacy anointment?

Such pure and refined energy, tempered by the Formation for thousands of years, he didn’t want it?

He gave it all to those two sisters?

Then how would he Breakthrough?

For a moment, the Myriad Formations King only felt himself being swallowed by despair.

In contrast, the Soul Devourer King, who was constantly attacking the Formation, was ecstatic inside!
