“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The Extinguish Heaven and Annihilate Earth Array conjured thunderfire, leaving no escape in all directions.

In the Formation, atop Purple Cloud Mountain, sat a Taoist man.

In his hands, he held a banner, both pole and fabric were scarlet red.

But it was seen that the Taoist man sat unshaken atop the summit, casually wielding the red banner with grandeur and ease.

As he flaunted the banner, heavenly thunder poured, earthly fire stirred, above there was the roaring of thunder, and below the flames raged fiercely.

People from all sides, trapped within the Formation, had no way of retreat.

Facing the calamity of Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire, with life and death hanging in the balance, they could only fend for themselves like the proverbially resourceful Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

However, aside from Jing Yue, the Nascent Soul, the rest of the Supreme Elders from the Three Sects could only protect themselves, unable to care for their accompanying disciples.

“Heavens and stars, Big Dipper guide home!”

Li Longpeng bellowed, tossing out six Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifacts, which combined with his life-bonded Magical Treasure to form the Array of the Big Dipper. This Formation barely deflected the brunt of the thunderfire onslaught.

Even so, the few behind him were still in mortal peril.

They were not Supreme Elders, lacking top-grade Magical Treasures and robust Mana, merely at the initial stage of Golden Core. Even if they exhausted all their tricks, what could it amount to?

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

With a series of thunderous blasts, many Pseudo Cores were turned to dust.

If Li Longpeng struggled so, there was even less need to discuss Zhang Zhiqi and Chen Fenghua, who could only block half of the thunderfire, the rest falling upon the bodies of their disciples.

In an instant, the Pseudo Cores from the Three Sects were left in disarray, the majority obliterated by the Termination Array’s fury of thunderfire.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Damn it!”

Upon witnessing this, the three of them felt both the pain of loss and panic.

Although these Pseudo Core cultivators were meant to be cannon fodder, even cannon fodder had their value.

To fall to ashes without achieving anything, how could they not grieve?

More importantly, once these cannon fodder perished, how much longer could they themselves hold out?

“This Formation is extremely dangerous, we must not linger!”

“Prohibition Breaking Talisman!”

In this moment of life and death, Li Longpeng couldn’t spare any thought for caution. With the Big Dipper Array built from Magical Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts weathering the storm of thunderfire, he barely found a Node of the Formation, into which he launched the third-tier Prohibition Breaking Talisman gifted by Jing Yue.

“Boom!”

As the Prohibition Breaking Talisman was activated, it exploded with a loud bang.

In a flash, Array patterns flickered, Yuan Spirits were thrown into disarray, a multitude of Talismans were shattered, and the might of thunderfire was reduced by thirty percent.

This was the effect of breaking the prohibition!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Destruction has always been simpler than construction, and Prohibition Breaking Talismans tapped exactly into this principle. No matter how exquisite or stable a Formation, as long as the tier is matched, it will be impacted by the talisman, weakening the might of the Formation, and potentially breaking it apart.

Some high-tier Prohibition Breaking Talismans, to enhance their “breaking” effect, would also consist of some extremely rare Heavenly and Earth treasures, causing chaos in Yin and Yang, inverting the Five Elements, disrupting the principles of heaven and earth, affecting the order of space and time.

Although the Three Sects’ Prohibition Breaking Talismans in hand were not among these, they were still of fine quality, containing the intricate essence of the Array of the Big Dipper, and ordinary formations stood little chance against them.

Against this move, there was no other method but to alter the Formation, mend the ruptures, and then continue the fierce battle with formidable foes.

Thus, the Prohibition Breaking Talisman was an exceedingly effective means of breaking Formations. In theory, as long as the tier of the talismans was high enough and the quantity sufficient, all Formations could be forcibly breached.

This “Extinguish Heaven and Annihilate Earth Formation” seemed no exception.

With a single talisman from Li Longpeng, the Extinguish Heaven and Annihilate Earth’s might of thunderfire was reduced by thirty percent.

“Good!”

Seeing this, Chen Fenghua followed suit, igniting his Prohibition Breaking Talisman gifted by Jing Yue.

“Boom!”

The Prohibition Breaking Talisman was activated, shattering with a loud explosion, countless Array patterns and Talismans disintegrated.

Although he was not a Formation Master and had not located the foundation nodes of the Formation like Li Longpeng, the power of the Prohibition Breaking Talisman alone was enough to impact the Formation and reduce the might of thunderfire by another twenty percent.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

From thirty to fifty, over half of the Formation’s power was abated.

The group that had been teetering on the brink of catastrophe, barely holding on, now found their footing steadied.

“Good!”

Seeing this, Zhang Zhiqi hesitated no more. Protected by the Green Jade Spirit Armor, he was about to ignite his Prohibition Breaking Talisman.

However…

“Rumble!”

A peal of thunder exploded within his sea of consciousness.

Zhang Zhiqi’s complexion changed, his body shuddered, and soon his facial features twisted in horror as blood spurted from his seven orifices.

“Moo!!!”

Within the sea of consciousness, mountains moved in upon him, and the Green Bull descended from the sky, pulling the plow.

With one plow, the Green Jade Armor shattered.

With another plow, the cultivator’s soul shattered.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Ah!!!”

A scream of agony pierced the air.

Zhang Zhiqi’s crown burst open, his disheveled hair flew wildly as blood erupted from his seven orifices, vital energy scattering from within him, he plummeted down from the cloud.

The Plough-Head Curse, within two days the seven arrows ensure a destined death!

Zhang Zhiqi—dead!

“Brother Zhang!”

“Supreme Elder!”

“Not good!”

“Quick!!”

Seeing this scene, everyone reacted differently.

Fortunately, from behind, a fortunate surviving Golden Core from the Green Jade Sect seized the opportunity, flew forward, caught the body of Zhang Zhiqi, and that crucial Prohibition Breaking Talisman.

In this moment of dire life and death, no words were needed.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The person immediately spurred his Mana and ignited the Prohibition Breaking Talisman in mid-air.

“Boom!”

The Prohibition Breaking Talisman activated, roaring forth into the void, shattering patterns of the Array.

“Rumble!”

Purple Cloud shook, the Formation quivered, and the power of Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire was once again reduced.

Seventy percent of its might was now gone!

Even for a Golden Core’s ultimate Formation, once seventy percent of its power was depleted, it no longer posed much of a threat.

The situation reversed abruptly!

“Supreme Elder!”

“Brother Zhang!”

“Die, you villain!”

Seeing Zhang Zhiqi fall, his death as tragic as it was sudden, both Li Longpeng and Chen Fenghua were needless to say, shocked and angered. Spurring their magic artifacts, they headed to strike at Purple Cloud’s summit.

However…

At the peak of Purple Cloud, the Taoist man sat.

The red banner waved, the ultimate Formation crumbled.

One could see the Taoist man seated steadily atop the mountain, his scarlet banner flourishing, and the damaged Formation immediately transformed.

“Rumble!”

In an instant, the menace of Thunder and Fire roared into being once again.
