Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield Chapter 891 Chapter 363: The Slaying Immortal Sword Formation Shocks the Heavenly Court! The Daqin Xuanjia Army as the Vanguard into the Immortal Rea...

The Investiture of the Gods, a supreme treasure forged by the very essence of heaven and earth, truly stands as a divine tome.

Within its pages lie the profound power of the Heavenly Dao and its immutable rules.

Empowered by this sacred artifact, Wang Lingguan's divine body was swiftly remade, and he was summoned back to the Polestar Palace.

"Your Majesty, this humble minister greets you," Wang Lingguan offered, his voice laced with respect.

He found himself devoid of immortal power; his divine body, despite being reformed, now held only the strength of a Golden Immortal.

His prowess had undeniably suffered a significant decline.

"Who precisely in the Mortal World?"

"And what was their level of cultivation?" Hao Tian's voice was a cold interrogation.

"Reporting to Your Majesty,"

Wang Lingguan replied. "Upon venturing into the Mortal World, I surveyed with my divine sense. The most powerful entity there was but a Golden Immortal, with several others at the Immortal Realm."

"Beyond them, only a few were still cultivating and had not yet reached the Immortal Realm."

"However... the Mortal World does not primarily pursue the path of immortality; they practice an entirely different cultivation method," Wang Lingguan stated, his tone deferential.

"A different cultivation method?" Hao Tian's brow furrowed with skepticism.

"Given your strength, which was at the peak of what the Mortal World could offer, who was it that vanquished you? Was it a powerful individual practicing this divergent cultivation technique?" Hao Tian pressed for more details.

"Yes, it was,"

Wang Lingguan confirmed, a wry smile touching his lips.

Despite his defeat,

no trace of animosity towards Zhao Feng was evident in his demeanor.

The Heavenly Court's directive was to subdue Qin; their fundamental opposition made them natural adversaries.

In the crucible of battle, it was a matter of life and death.

To lose was to concede that his skills had been outmatched.

"Ten thousand heavenly soldiers, a thousand Heavenly Immortal generals, one hundred Golden Immortal generals, and yourself, a Taiyin Golden Immortal.

"How could he possibly annihilate your entire force so swiftly?"

"Could he be a Daluo?"

Hao Tian's gaze fixed upon Wang Lingguan, his voice chilling.

"It was a formation."

"He wielded an incredibly potent Killing Aura Sword Formation."

"This sword formation enveloped all ten thousand of my heavenly soldiers and generals, relentlessly striking them down."

"His immortal power seemed bottomless, continuously fueling the sword formation to execute my troops."

"Even when I unleashed the full might of my Demon Suppressing Sword, I could not shatter this formidable formation," Wang Lingguan explained, his voice heavy with the memory.

"Furthermore... this sword formation bears a striking resemblance to a Saint's sword formation documented within our Heavenly Court's archives, featuring four swords. The formation itself blankets the void, exuding an ominous, corrosive qi," Wang Lingguan confessed, his expression deeply troubled.

Within the confines of that Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, Wang Lingguan felt as though he were trapped in the deepest abyss of purgatory.

The descent of the four sword energies upon him left him utterly incapable of defense or counterattack.

The searing agony of divine annihilation was a sensation he would not soon forget.

Had his true spirit not merged with the Investiture of the Gods, receiving the safeguard of the Heavenly Dao, and had the Investiture of the Gods not reshaped his divine body, his soul might have faced utter annihilation.

"Four swords? Corrosive qi? A sword formation?"

Hao Tian's eyes shot open wide, an immediate recollection surfacing in his mind.

He remembered a figure whose sword qi pierced the heavens, who once stood alone against the Four Saints.

The cataclysmic aftermath of that ancient battle had shattered the Primordial Era, ultimately giving rise to the Four Great Continents.

It was Saint Tongtian!

One of the esteemed Three Pure Ones.

A venerable Saint from ages past.

Wielding the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, akin to the legendary Innate Treasures, it was recognized as the paramount killing array beneath the heavens. Only a Saint could possibly erect such a formation, one that even the combined might of the Four Saints could not break.

The event of the Divine Enthronement had sent shockwaves through the very fabric of the cosmos.

The casualties incurred during that monumental conflict numbered beyond measure, stretching into the countless millions.

"Could this individual in the Mortal World have inherited Tongtian's legacy? Perhaps even obtained the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation?" Hao Tian mused aloud, a new suspicion dawning.

Aside from this.

No other explanation seemed plausible.

The Slaying Immortal Sword Formation was a force that commanded absolute respect.

It was renowned as the foremost killing array in existence.

The greater the power wielded by its operator, the more devastating its output.

Upon grasping the nature of the formation, Hao Tian instantly understood the swift and utter annihilation of the ten thousand heavenly soldiers dispatched to the lower realm – it was entirely attributable to the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.

This celestial killing array, so long as its wielder possessed sufficient spiritual energy, was effectively inexhaustible. Not ten thousand troops, but even a million would have met their doom.

And to perish within this sword formation meant complete divine obliteration, leaving no possibility for reincarnation.

The reason why the souls of those fallen heavenly soldiers were unable to reincarnate was also revealed; it was all due to the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation.

"The Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, how could the foremost killing array beneath the heavens appear in the Mortal World?"

"Back then, after Tongtian's defeat, he was confined to Outer Heaven and later vanished along with the other Saints."

"Furthermore, wasn't the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation already distributed among the Chan Sect disciples after his defeat?" "How did it end up in the Mortal World?"

"Could it be that the Chan Sect is operating behind the scenes in the Mortal World?"

"Impossible."

"Now that the Saints are missing, the Chan Sect has lost its strongest backing; how would they dare to stand against me?"

Hao Tian's mind raced with thoughts.

The Slaying Immortal Sword Formation!

The preeminent killing array under heaven—a name that inspired dread.

The peak of individual strength in the Mortal World could only ascend to the Taiyin Golden Immortal realm. In the face of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, this level of power was woefully insufficient. It signified that no matter how many heavenly soldiers and generals he deployed, or how many True Gods descended to the lower realm, the inevitable outcome would be total annihilation.

Confronted by the might of the Slaying Immortal Sword Formation, Hao Tian experienced a profound sense of helplessness.

Within the Mortal World, the Heavenly Court's full might could not be exerted.

"Your Majesty."

"That individual is wielding the sword formation with mana that seems utterly inexhaustible."

"This is one contributing factor to the decimation of our Heavenly Court's army."

"Ordinarily, deploying such a grand formation would consume immense mana. Yet, he has sustained it for over an hour, a feat even my immortal power could not achieve," Wang Lingguan added.

"What level of strength does he possess?" Hao Tian inquired, his expression grave.

"He does not cultivate the Immortal Path; I cannot discern his true power, but he wields numerous powers of laws, extremely peculiar," Wang Lingguan responded.

"Your Majesty."

"The Mortal World is extraordinarily enigmatic under these circumstances."

"I propose that no further troops be dispatched there until we have thoroughly uncovered the intricacies of the Mortal World," Li Jing stepped forward to suggest.
