Chapter 352 - Complete Chaos (1/2)

Xiao Chen’s mouth curved to form a sneer. He continued gathering the vital force of the world. Chanyu Zheng had a bad omen and immediately yelled, “Stop him!” He didn’t have the luxury of worrying about the surging of the force above. He leaped, transformed into a drawn-out light, and charged at Xiao Chen. However, the twin forces of Immortals and Devils mercilessly sent him crashing to the ground.

No flying swords or magic treasures could approach Xiao Chen. Even the strongest Immortal’s Sword would turn into scrap iron once it got close to him. Suddenly, a loud explosion shattered the air. The sky finally rained down bolts of dazzling lightning on Xiao Chen.

“Heavenly Punishment!” many cried out in surprise.

Chanyu Zheng stared at the lightning rapidly falling from the sky as if he finally found hope at the end of the tunnel. However, when the bolts of lightning were ten feet away from the top of Xiao Chen’s head, they were sucked into a spectral cloud floating on the western horizon.

“What?!” Everyone turned pale with fright. Never had they seen such a strange scene! How could someone redirect Heavenly Punishment?

Xiao Chen’s long, messy hair danced wildly in the wind. He cackled like a madman. “This time, heaven is on my side, not yours!” he yelled, loosening his grip. A thunderous clanging sound reverberated, so loud that the world seemed to shake alongside it. An overwhelming force, capable of destroying heaven and earth, surged toward the Immortals’ League.

“DON’T!” Chanyu Zheng’s eyes were so wide that the corners of his eyes were threatening to split. However, the rumbling explosion hit everyone’s eardrums so hard that they nearly shatter. The entire eastern city district shuddered from the force. Even with defensive formation guarding the small hill that the League was located on, the whole place nevertheless collapsed in a split second. Thousands of white jade steps were reduced to dust, alongside the League’s public square, palace halls, and buildings.

In just minutes, nearly half of the eastern city district was shrouded in smoke and dust. Everyone watched in horror as the hill continued to collapse, and rumbling explosions rang incessantly in their ears. Those inside the Immortals’ League started fleeing for their lives. Many of them had died upon impact. Xiao Chen was still gasping when he once again tapped the zither’s string with his finger. The colorful lights once again gathered.

“Xiao Chen! Stop! Stop! You can go now! No one will stop you! You can go!” Chanyu Zheng nearly suffered a mental breakdown when he saw Xiao Chen once again plucking the zither’s strings.

“Heh! Why didn’t you stop when you people are trying to kill me? It’s too late now!” he yelled and once again plucked the string. This time, he aimed at a large island floating overhead the League. The island was about the size of the hill.

There were numerous floating islands above Tianyuan City, with most used to support the defensive formation. After taking the zither’s hit, the island lost control and fell on the Island like a crumbling mountain.

“No—” Chanyu Zheng’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his panic finally taking over his heart. He coughed up a mouthful of blood. This time, he had hurt his life source.

“Rumble…”

The ear-splitting crash reverberated throughout the world. The island had utterly crushed the Immortals’ League. The ground was still quaking, and smoke and dust lingered for a long, long time.

The independent cultivators were dumbfounded. A youngster had destroyed the high and mighty Immortals’ League. This was surely an event meant for the historical records. Even a thousand years later, people would still mention how a little devil ruined the almighty Immortals’ League…

“He’s a Heavenly Scourge—”

A heart-rendering cry ripped through the air. Chanyu Zheng’s wizened face was wet with tears. He hastily turned to the four Wardens beside him. “Go and see if the Spirit Energy Grand Formation is intact! GO! HURRY!” He flicked his sleeves and ushered them four in the direction of the Immortals’ League.

Then, he looked at the eastern horizon and cupped his hands in salute. Tears streaming down his face, he said, “Chief, if the Spiritual Meridian loses its defense today, I’ll take my own life to atone for my offense!” He turned around to look at Xiao Chen and said through gritted teeth, “Xiao Chen! Do you know how big of a mistake you’ve made?!”

Xiao Chen put away his zither with a sneer. “Tsk. Are you blaming me for that? I can’t worry about that when I’m about to get killed.” He had no idea what the so-called formation guarding the Spiritual Meridian was. Even if he used the zither to kill a portion of the cultivators here, he wouldn’t be able to run anyway. He might as well destroy the League. He didn’t expect the Fuxi Zither to be this powerful.

“You shameful thing! I swear I’ll kill you today!”

Xiao Chen landed on the ground and spread his hands with a shrug, looking indifferent. “Do whatever you want.”

“You… You… Pfff!” Chanyu Zheng pointed to him, trembling. He was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood. Suddenly, a panicked voice came from the north, crying, “Report!” A golden light fell in front of him and turned into a white-clothed youngster.

The flustered-looking youngster hastily said, “Bad news, Elder! The Spirit Energy Grand Formation in the northern city district has inexplicably lost its function!” Only after finishing his sentence did he notice the once-hovering island crushing the League under it. He was instantly stupefied.

“Speak…” Chanyu Zheng suddenly felt the world around him spin. Then, another panicked voice came from the south, saying, “Report! Bad news, Elder! The Spirit Energy Grand Formation in the southern city district has ceased to function! So many Devil’s sects followers have burst into the city!”

“Report—Bad news! A big number of Devil’s sects followers have occupied the western city district… The Spiritual Meridian… Spiritual Meridian…”

“Report…”

In just moments, countless envoys came from all directions, all bringing an urgent message. Xiao Chen rubbed his head. Had he truly made a huge mistake this time? By now, the Devil Qi on him had mostly dissipated, and his pupils had regained its natural color. However, his face was turning paler and paler. No matter how great the wounds on his body were, none produced even a drop of blood.

Yet another envoy ran over and hastily said, “Report—A big number of Devil’s sect followers are charging in! The Spiritual Meridian in the northern city district has lost its protection!”
