Chapter 215 - Bodily Path, Fiendgod! (2/2)
”!” A vast majority of heavenly cultivators amongst the group flinched, taking a step backwards subconsciously and felt their hearts turn cold. The only ones that took no action were obvious, they were the cream of the crop such as Yun Baili, the auburn-haired girl, Hei Long, and the black-hooded figure. They stood stably. Their eyes radiating various emotions such as pride and battle intent.
This was notably so for Yun Baili. His bright gaze suffused with a tinge of madness and killing intent.
Yan Zaizen felt some respect for those who didn't step back at his momentum. Despite this, it didn't stop him from taunting them further, ”Weren't you deciding how to deal with me? What happened to all that zest and zeal? Or did I make you wet yourselves?” Chuckling in amusement, he took another step forward. However, his words caused the young generation cultivators, who stood at a high-standing amongst juniors, to feel their pride being personally attacked.
None of them revealed fearful gazes any longer. Their gazes shifted towards anger and killing intent.
”Haha!” The auburn-haired woman, Bing He, coldly laughed. The mere thought of Yan Zaizen insulting her left a putrid taste in her mouth. Amongst the many people here, she had immense pride in herself and her group. She turned towards Hei Long, ”Apologies, I'll take the first move. Excuse me for my rudeness,” with that, she performed a handseal.
When Yan Zaizen saw this handseal, he felt his soul tremble suddenly. It was an odd sensation, as if it was being assaulted but not. It was very distinct, and the environment hadn't changed but it was as if what he saw was illusory.
”Careful! She's a soul cultivator, you're under an illusory soul art!” Pinaka voice advised. As she was directly linked to Yan Zaizen's soul, she could sense irregularities that occur within.
”Illusory soul art?” Yan Zaizen was startled. He recalled the Asura Phantom Realm. During that time, the moon in that realm held an illusory formation that projected falseness. As a soul cultivator himself, he was interested in how that was done. The unfortunate part left him crestfallen; the Anime Syndicate did not have such profound arts. Even Pinaka didn't understand conventional soul path illusory arts or methods. If she did, she couldn't actually use them.
Before he could respond, he felt space shift suddenly and an unusual surging pressure enveloped his body. The pressure wasn't overly strong, something he could resist, but it made him feel sluggish and disorientated.
”Hmph!” Coldly snorting, Yan Zaizen aurora astral star erupted with soul energy. This soul energy, at eruption, shattered some invisible binding that seemed to have latched onto his soul. The surrounding area suddenly shifted in his perception.
”What?!” Confused, Yan Zaizen found himself surrounded by eight mountain-sized, grey coffins. Each coffin emanated ripples of profound soul energy and vital energy. They were interconnected, establishing a small space with him at the center. He could feel his body and soul under pressure, fortunately, his soul cultivation base and physique was far too strong to be subjected to any disadvantage.
”This is a formation array!” Pinaka exclaimed. Just as Pinaka was about to go in-depth, the coffins ripples started to surge like oceanic waves, pummeling Yan Zaizen's body and soul ferociously. His body twitched slightly but nothing else. His soul absorbed all soul energy ripples that touched it, as if it was a never-ending black hole that seemed to wish to consume, devour, and exceed all existence!
”A fourth-grade heavenly formation?” Yan Zaizen calmly analyzed. Even without Pinaka's explanation, he could conclude this himself, after all, he did study for thousands of years. Formations, arrays, alchemy, and armament creation, he knew the very basics. These coffins were array flags. They surrounded the target and emitted soul and vital energy to pressure both the soul and body.
Each array flag was being handled by a heavenly cultivator. He suspected that this formation wasn't actually a fourth-grade heavenly formation, but just a small part of a much larger formation. Alas, this method would be effective on any fourth-floor Heavenly Genesis cultivator and likely weaken fifth-floors, but to Yan Zaizen?
This was a tickle.
”ROAR!!” With a thunderous shout, Yan Zaizen stomped his feet causing space itself to tremble. This shocked Yan Zaizen a little. He intended to collapse the surrounding space, disrupting the formation, but space had been stabilized to a much higher degree than normal. It was only a second later that he came to an enlightened realization, the spatial formation they activated must've stabilized the spatial void, causing it to be much harder to shift within or collapse.
”Alright, this is how I like it!” With an amused chuckle, his body erupted with his Mortal Dao. It was as if a sovereign had ascended, releasing tyrannical ferocity unmatched and ice-cold decisiveness that could cause even the most sinister of monsters hearts to turn cold.
”Let's see if these coffins are as sturdy as they are big! Haha!” Yan Zaizen liked this, in his thousands of years of cultivation, he rarely could let loose and experience true combat. Seeing the myriad of methods used by experts against him, he was filled with an unmeasurable amount of expectation.
With a kick-off dash, his body shifted like a shadow. The pressure emanating from the grey coffins couldn't hinder his movements in a single step. With a raised Sky Shatter, he faced one of the grey-coffins and smashed heavily in a downward arc. The coffin couldn't withstand a millisecond of force as it shattered like glass. From the hammer head of Sky Shatter, an invisible ripple emerged and engulfed the entirety of the coffin.
Pieces of its existence erupted outwards from the point of impact, but these pieces didn't simply fly off, they disintegrated into dust.
A hellish scream resounded filled with endless pain as a heavenly cultivator, male, and at the second-floor, appeared from behind the coffin in retreat. His heavenly shrine was igniting, his eyes filled with profound heavenly might, but his face wasn't one filled with decisiveness but one of unimaginable horror.
As he peddled backward, the ripple that surged from Sky Shatter touched his body. The first to come in contact with it was his fingers. They disintegrated like dust in a calm gust of wind. The young man felt his mind numb at the sight and couldn't stop screaming. He could feel his physical body shatter from a cellular level, and even though he tried to fight it off with his true-essence, it couldn't delay the disintegration
The others watched him with widened gazes, some even stepped back, and a few took a step forward, but nothing more. Initially, they were thinking about stepping in to save this man, forcing him to owe them a favor in the future, but what happened left them all bewildered and lost.
The ripple was simply too fast and seemed to be honing onto the man's existence regardless of how much he attempted to maneuver. It started with fingers, then hand, then arm, then torso, then everything. It vanished like dust in the wind.
Yan Zaizen watched this and felt deeply startled. Sky Shatter was marvelous, this he knew, but was it this marvelous?
