Chapter 94: All-Out Attack
Qianjing, the power center of the Great Yuan Dynasty, had withstood three thousand years of wind and rain and magical reinforcement. Its walls were over a hundred zhang high, built from a mixture of North Sea sinking iron and third-grade Green Gold Rock.
The surface of the wall was densely carved with countless defensive runes for light-avoidance, dust-avoidance, and fire-avoidance.
Under the sunlight, the entire wall refracted a nearly cold, blue-black metallic luster, resembling a black iron Dragon lying on the earth.
At this moment, this giant Dragon was tightly protected by a thick layer of golden light shield.
The fifth-grade defensive formation, the "Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Formation".
This was the foundation of the Great Yuan Dynasty's founding.
When the formation was active, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a hundred miles would be forcibly drained, condensing nine layers of terrifying golden thunder pools above the city walls.
Inside the thunder pools, bucket-thick Profound Thunder shuttled like swimming Dragons, emitting a pressure capable of destroying everything.
On the city wall, the remaining thirty thousand Imperial Guard all had pale faces, but still gripped their runic spears tightly.
The Great Yuan Dynasty Emperor Qianyuanzi, surrounded by several Golden Core attendants, stood trembling on the Qianqing Gate tower, gazing at the overwhelming black army outside the city.
Outside the city, the coalition camp.
The sound of war drums had ceased, replaced by a suffocating silence.
Tens of thousands of Divine Sword Sect Disciples and over seventy thousand Jianghu Loose Cultivator spontaneously divided into several huge square formations.
They looked at the towering city walls and the golden thunder dancing across the sky.
Although there was an instinctive fear of the fifth-grade formation in their eyes, when their gazes fell on the dark figure at the very front, all fear turned into fanatical Battle Intent.
Chu Chang stood in the air in a black robe.
Behind him, fourteen Heavenly Demon Puppets hung in mid-air like iron-cast statues. Sect Master Lin Wuwen stood in the front row, the dark golden demon armor on his body still stained with the blood of the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain Elder from yesterday, emitting a pungent bloody smell and Death Qi.
"Supreme Deacon, the fifth-grade formation is no ordinary thing."
The Divine Sword Sect Leader came to Chu Chang's side on a Flying Sword, his expression grave: "This formation is connected to the Spiritual Vein beneath Qianjing. Without a way to break the formation, even if several Purple Mansion Cultivators attacked together for three days and nights, it would be difficult to shake it in the slightest. Moreover, this Profound Thunder is extremely destructive; ordinary Magic Treasure shatters upon contact."
"Connected to the Spiritual Vein, you say?"
Chu Chang's expression was cold, and the rusty duanchen ancient sword in his right hand let out a low sword hum.
He slowly closed his eyes, and his extremely vast Divine Sense poured out like mercury, instantly piercing through the void ahead and plunging straight into the underground of Qianjing.
After advancing to the Peak of the Void Realm, his perception of the Laws of Heaven and Earth had reached a mysterious and profound Realm. Vaguely, he felt that deep beneath Qianjing, not only was there a huge second-grade Spiritual Vein continuously supplying energy to the formation, but there was also an ancient, vicissitudinous, and sharp sword Dao aura, lurking under the cover of the formation.
That was the ruins of an ancient Sword Immortal sealed by the royal family.
"Found it."
Chu Chang suddenly opened his eyes, and two black and white Taiji demon lights flashed in his eyes.
"Bingshen, Gengyin, Jiamu, these three formation points. Divine Sword Sect, take orders, use the main cannons of the warships to bombard these three areas of the void. The rest of the Loose Cultivators, follow me to break the city!"
"We obey the Supreme's decree!"
With Chu Chang's order, the silence was instantly torn apart.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The nine huge main warships of the Divine Sword Sect simultaneously bloomed with dazzling light. Driven by a large number of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, the "Profound Crystal Divine Cannons" at the front of the warships condensed destructive light waves with a diameter of several zhang.
The next moment, nine thick, five-colored Spiritual Qi light beams tore through the air, carrying sharp whistling sounds, and fiercely bombarded the three directions pointed out by Chu Chang.
Rumble!
The Spiritual Qi light beams collided with the outermost layer of the golden thunder pool in mid-air, erupting with an earth-shaking roar.
The light produced in that instant caused the entire sky to lose its color. Endless thunderfire and turbulent Spiritual Qi raged in the air, turning into violent air waves that instantly turned the vegetation within several miles into powder.
"Damn it! How could they see through the formation points so quickly?!"
On the city wall, the royal Great Elder responsible for controlling the formation had a pale face, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the Formation Plate.
Although the fifth-grade formation blocked this wave of bombardment, the underground formation bases at the formation points already had cracks, and the originally round and flawless golden light shield rippled violently.
"Change formation! Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, smash this group of rebels for me!"
Qianyuanzi roared almost hysterically.
"Boom crack!"
Seemingly in response to the emperor's anger, the golden thunder pool above Qianjing rioted completely.
Dozens of bucket-thick golden Profound Thunders, carrying the destructive aura of the Heavenly Tribulation, descended from the sky, densely striking towards the Divine Sword Sect's warships and the Loose Cultivator square formations below.
The violent thunder twisted the void, and where the thunder power passed, even the air was ignited.
"Ah!"
Dozens of Loose Cultivators who couldn't dodge in time were swept by a scattered bolt of lightning. Before they could even scream, they were instantly charred along with their Magic Treasures and vanished with the wind.
"Raise defenses!"
The Golden Core old monsters among the Loose Cultivators hurriedly brought out their proudest defensive Magic Treasures. For a time, colorful defensive light shields were propped up above the coalition forces. But the power of the Profound Thunder was too great; with every collision, a large number of Magic Treasures were damaged, and many Loose Cultivators vomited blood, their expressions listless.
Just as the coalition's formation was showing signs of panic.
"Hmph."
A cold snort exploded in everyone's ears like a great bell, instantly suppressing the thunderous sounds in the sky.
Chu Chang moved.
His figure was like lightning, rushing straight up into the sky against the golden Profound Thunder falling from the sky.
"Is he crazy? He dares to physically resist the Nine Heavens Profound Thunder?!" The Great Yuan Dynasty generals on the city wall exclaimed.
However, the next scene made everyone unforgettable for the rest of their lives.
Chu Chang stood still in the void, and the duanchen ancient sword in his right hand drew a mysterious trajectory in front of him, and the Chaos True Essence and the power of Yin and Yang in his body erupted simultaneously.
"[Chaos Universe, All Thunder Return to Source!]"
A huge black and white Taiji diagram unfolded behind Chu Chang, instantly turning into a thousand zhang in size, spanning between heaven and earth. The Taiji diagram rotated slowly, and a faint gray Chaos Qi flowed within it.
Boom boom boom!
Dozens of destructive golden Profound Thunders smashed fiercely onto the Taiji diagram, but the explosion imagined did not happen.
On the contrary, the moment those violent Profound Thunders touched the Taiji diagram, they seemed to be attracted by some kind of fatal force, and began to spin crazily along the trajectory of the Yin and Yang fish.
Black and white light flickered, and the golden thunder that was originally full of destructive aura was continuously decomposed and assimilated by the Chaos Qi, and finally turned into pure Spiritual Qi, feeding back into the Taiji diagram.
"This… what kind of evil art is this?!" The Great Yuan Dynasty Emperor Qianyuanzi collapsed completely on the ground.
"Go."
Chu Chang pushed with one hand.
The thousand-zhang thunderfire Taiji diagram, assimilated by the Chaos Qi and even more powerful, smashed fiercely towards the Great Yuan Dynasty's national protection light shield with the terrifying power of moving mountains and filling seas.
Boom!
This was a devastating blow.
The moment the Taiji diagram hit the golden light shield, the entire Qianjing trembled violently. Countless city bricks made of North Sea sinking iron disintegrated under this huge force, and the tall city walls began to collapse in pieces.
"Crack…"
A crisp shattering sound spread throughout the field.
In the desperate eyes of all the Great Yuan Dynasty soldiers and civilians, the "Nine Heavens Profound Thunder Formation" that had guarded Qianjing for a thousand years shattered inch by inch under the bombardment of the Taiji diagram, turning into golden fragments that dissipated in the sky.
"The formation is broken!"
"Charge! Kill all the Great Yuan dogs!"
Outside the city, the silent coalition erupted with earth-shaking roars.
"Heavenly Demon Puppets, clear the way."
Chu Chang stood in the void, pointing his sword at the towering city gate.
Whoosh!
Lin Wuwen and the other fourteen Heavenly Demon Puppets turned into fourteen black lightning bolts, directly tearing through the rolling dust and smoke, and slammed fiercely onto the thick city gate of Qianjing.
Boom!
The Qianjing city gate, weighing ten thousand jin and made of profound iron, was smashed into a huge hole by Lin Wuwen's punch, and then collapsed under the erosion of the Heavenly Demon Evil Qi.
The formation was broken, and the city gate was destroyed.
The last line of defense of the Great Yuan Dynasty was completely torn apart at this moment.
"Kill!"
Like a tidal wave, the Jianghu Loose Cultivators and Divine Sword Sect Disciples, with red eyes, yelled and rushed through the collapsed gap in the city wall, killing their way into Qianjing.
The thirty thousand Great Yuan Dynasty remnants on the city wall completely lost their fighting spirit at this moment. Watching those fourteen Heavenly Demon Puppets rampaging in the army formation like gods of slaughter, madly harvesting lives, they threw away their weapons and knelt to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, go! Quickly retreat into the inner city Forbidden Land!"
The Great Elder pulled up the dispirited Qianyuanzi and, escorted by several death soldiers, fled in embarrassment towards the Forbidden Land deep in the imperial palace.
On the city wall, blood flowed like a river.
The Loose Cultivators were frantically harvesting wealth and lives, and the entire Qianjing fell into endless war and Chaos.
Chu Chang stepped into the city, walking through the void.
He ignored the killing and Chaos around him, his eyes fixed from beginning to end on the ancestral temple Forbidden Land deep in the imperial palace.
There, an aura so powerful that the entire void began to tremble was rising crazily.
"Purple Mansion Realm, huh…"
Chu Chang gripped the duanchen ancient sword, a cold smile curling on the corner of his mouth.
"Finally coming out."
