Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1062: Nine-Star Demon-Slaying Formation

"Ha! Such grand craftsmanship!"

Upon observing the nine colossal members of the Immortal Stone Tribe wielding an immense stone sword, Ye Yun's countenance immediately turned frigid.

The Immortal Stone Tribe was a prominent entity among the Five Great Heavenly Demon Clans during the preceding era.

This clan is renowned for its extraordinary might, avowing immortality and indestructibility.

Even upon their demise, it is said that the Immortal Stone Tribe will inevitably resurrect.

The Immortal Divine Silkworm once imparted that the most effective method to counter the Immortal Stone Tribe is through sealing and suppression.

This approach ensures that as long as the original form remains intact, no duplicates will emerge.

Behind the scenes—

Someone had strategically positioned nine members of the Immortal Stone Tribe at the depths of Blood Abyss Lake, each having attained the Tenth Layer of the God King Realm.

Truly a formidable display of power!

Earlier, Ye Yun had surveyed Blood Abyss Lake but detected no anomalies.

The Immortal Stone Tribe evidently possesses profound concealment techniques, capable of transforming their bodies into mountain rocks, rendering them indistinguishable from ordinary stone, which is why Ye Yun found no traces.

These nine formidable members of the Immortal Stone Tribe had likely been lying dormant within Blood Abyss Lake for an extensive duration.

"Could this arrangement have been laid out long ago?"

Ye Yun's brow furrowed slightly.

This deadly trap was clearly not intended for him but for the Goddess of Ancient.

When Nangong Jade descended into this meager world of Blood Abyss Lake from a distant realm, her unique seven-colored aura had inadvertently activated the nine Immortal Stone Tribe members concealed beneath the lake.

Just moments ago, during his discourse with Nangong Jade.

The nine Immortal Stone Tribe members commenced their revival.

They have now successfully awakened, emerging from the lake, assuming nine distinct positions, and coalescing into a fearsome sword formation.

Ye Yun's fingers twitched subtly, poised to intervene the very next instant.

Nangong Jade's actual cultivation base is merely at the Sixth Layer of the God Venerate Realm, and even in unison, the God King Realm experts of the Calamity Blood Crocodile Clan would be no match for these nine Immortal Stone Tribe members.

Only his intervention could possibly salvage the dire predicament.

"These are the Immortal Stone Tribe!"

Nangong Jade's composed voice suddenly resonated in Ye Yun's ears.

This young woman had also recognized the lineage of the Immortal Stone Tribe.

"Goddess, these accursed beings had long since prepared a fallback plan!"

A youth within the God King Realm clenched his fists, teeth grinding as he uttered a curse.

Instantly, all eyes turned towards the Goddess of Ancient, and they subsequently transformed, revealing their true forms.

In their Calamity Blood Crocodile form, they could unleash their utmost might.

"You must be a renegade of the spirits!"

The sole individual who had not undergone transformation was the man clad in blood-red robes; he spun around, fixing a furious gaze upon Ye Yun, and bellowed indignantly.

"Who claims I am a renegade? Are you utterly... blind?"

Ye Yun responded with a chilling chuckle.

He deliberately drew a Silver Sword, holding it inverted in his grasp.

This particular sword was not the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

Previously, in the Demon World, when Ye Yun's cultivation base was at the Third Layer of the God-Honored Realm, he had utilized the Heaven-Slaying Sword to vanquish seven Star Demon Kings at the half-step God Emperor Realm.

Now, at the Eighth Layer of the Divine Venerable Realm, his power had surged exponentially, empowering him to confront the formidable sword array established by these nine Immortal Stone Tribe members without resorting to the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

"You!"

The man in the blood-red robes, incensed, was on the verge of charging forward.

"Do not act rashly!"

Nangong Jade extended a hand, her jade-like appendage halting the impetuous man in the blood-red robes.

Her face, akin to fine jade, turned cold as she fixed her gaze upon the nine Immortal Stone Tribe members, her hands clasped before her chest, continuously weaving intricate hand seals.

In the expanse above.

The multi-hued vortex commenced its slow rotation.

When the nine stone figures materialized, the seven-colored vortex had been obstructed by immense force, causing its spin to cease.

Nangong Jade initiated its rotation once more.

"Seize this opportunity; flee with me to the best of your abilities!"

Nangong Jade commanded.

Despite the extreme urgency of the circumstances, her demeanor betrayed no hint of panic, remaining composed, her voice devoid of warmth.

"Attempting to escape?"

One of the Immortal Stone Tribe members' eyes flashed with icy lethal intent as they abruptly raised the colossal stone sword, directing its point towards the seven-colored vortex.

Concurrently, the other eight Immortal Stone Tribe members also lifted their swords.

Nine blades converged, pointing in the same direction.

In that very void, nine stellar points abruptly emerged, radiating light and unleashing an overwhelming force that instantly stifled the seven-colored vortex.

The rotational velocity of the seven-colored vortex rapidly came to a standstill.

"This is... the Nine-star Exorcism Sword Formation!"

Nangong Jade's countenance shifted dramatically as she instantly recognized the sword array upon noticing the nine star points. This enigmatic sword formation, it is said, traces its origins back to the previous era. Possessing the profound heritage and extensive knowledge befitting the Goddess of the Ancients, Nangong Jade could identify it. During ancient times, when the Ancient Clan launched its invasion of the Divine Land, this specific formation was conspicuously absent from the conflicts between the two factions. Little did anyone anticipate that the legendary Nine-star Demon Killing Formation would manifest within Blood Abyss Lake, with the express intent of personally eradicating her. "It appears this elaborate trap was prepared countless millennia ago..." Nangong Jade commented, her voice laced with a frigid tone. Despite confronting such a shockingly lethal setup, she displayed no discernible panic. Her own life or death seemed to hold little sway over her demeanor. "Goddess of the Ancients, you malevolent offender who has lingered within the Divine Land for eons, your end has arrived today!" a stone effigy from the Immortal Stone Tribe bellowed in fury. Whoosh! The nine members of the Immortal Stone Tribe simultaneously heaved their colossal stone swords, unleashing the formidable Nine-star Exorcism Sword Formation. This sword array ensnared Blood Abyss Lake, rendering it an impenetrable fortress. As the nine swords commenced their movement, the very fabric of the void seemed to halt. High above, the nine star points blazed with increasing intensity. Nine beams of sword light, originating from as many distinct directions, surged forth, carrying with them a destructive, world-ending power. "Protect the Goddess!" the man garbed in blood robes roared, ascending into the heavens and assuming the colossal form of the true blood alligator. Suspended in mid-air, its gaze icy, enveloped by a tempest of blood-colored light, it fiercely engaged the nine sword lights. Its true form, though vast, appeared minuscule in comparison to even a single sword light. "Step back; leave this to me." a calm voice suddenly resonated beside the Calamity Blood Crocodile King. Subsequently, an immense force impelled it, driving the blood alligator's true form downward. "What..." The Calamity Blood Crocodile King craned its neck, its gaze fixed upon the familiar white-robed figure wielding a silver sword as they charged skyward. The diminutive figure seemed utterly insignificant against the backdrop of the nine massive sword lights, comparable to a mere ant. "He—is he intending to aid me?" Nangong Jade inhaled sharply, her pupils contracting as she stared in disbelief at that silhouette. At this pivotal moment, she experienced an absurd sensation welling up within her heart. This resolute figure in white seemed to have materialized in her dreams before, evoking a peculiar sense of recognition. Ye Yun positioned himself in the void, confronting the nine awe-inspiring sword lights entirely on his own. His expression serene and his breathing even, he held his sword before his chest, initiating the Binary Sword Chant. In the Sword of Life Realm, no worldly object could breach its defense. Instantly, the world's momentum shifted, the balance pivoting upon that solitary sword. The nine sword lights hurtled closer at breakneck speed! Each sword light stretched for tens of thousands of feet, exuding overwhelming power and towering might. The sword lights shrieked as they descended upon Ye Yun. Or more precisely, upon the silver sword held before his chest!
