Chapter 1174: Chapter 1170: Golden Sword

As the array began to operate, they gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Not only did the twelve of them vanish, but so did the golden statue.

The mountaintop became empty and desolate, void of anything.

Huang Zhengyang looked at Chu Zhiyuan, ”Mr. Chu, what’s next?”

Chu Zhiyuan replied, ”Can I enter the array now?”

”There’s no problem.”

”Then I’ll go take a look inside.”

”Please do.”

Chu Zhiyuan effortlessly drifted into the array like a wisp of smoke, disappearing from sight.

Huang Zhengyang raised his eyebrows.

This revealed the depth of his abilities.

This was the Inverted Qiankun Miao Xun Formation.

Once the array was activated, it isolated the inside and outside — both within and beyond the array, all appeared as void.

It was nearly impossible to enter the array or escape from it.

Chu Zhiyuan slipped in like that, clearly indicating the array could not confine him.

This was far beyond the reach of ordinary masters.

Even the Nine Transitions Venerable of the Heavenly Sword Sect didn’t possess such capability.

This Mr. Chu was unfathomable, with abilities far surpassing his Realm.

Upon entering the array, Chu Zhiyuan let out a sigh of relief.

Previously, his Super Sense could see the operation of this array, leading him to some disappointment.

Thinking that if it couldn’t fool his Super Sense, it probably couldn’t hide the Evil Venerable Statue, making it impossible to obscure.

However, after entering the array, he found his Super Sense was actually obscured, unable to spread out.

Indeed, it was a rare illusion array in the world, with such astonishing power.

Suddenly, he felt a mysterious sense of security, then turned to gaze at the statue.

Leaping gracefully, he lightly traced the statue’s brow, penetrating downward.

In the Jade Sea and Sky within the Lao Gong Acupoint, several clouds drifted.

One of these clouds was the abnormal power from the earlier Evil Venerable Statue.

And a new cloud was the abnormal power contained in the golden statue just now.

This time, he didn’t transport the original cloud but the new one.

The abnormal power circulating in the Shadowless Divine Sword was no longer from the original Evil Venerable Statue.

But the new abnormal power.

The new abnormal power made the absorption speed of the power within the statue faster, instantly devouring it into the Lao Gong Acupoint.

The statue no longer contained abnormal power, and the aura of the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree immediately surged within.

Now, he didn’t have to mobilize the aura of the Demon Suppression Divine Palace, directly summoning it from the Lao Gong Acupoint.

The Lao Gong Acupoint had already accumulated enough aura from the Demon Suppressing Divine Tree for him to summon at will.

The fine line drawn by the sword tip shimmered with golden light, then cracked, spreading rapidly.

Countless webs extended across the entire statue.

Then the statue turned into a pile of rubble.

Chu Zhiyuan’s expression was solemn as he stared at these stones, mobilizing the abnormal power within the Lao Gong Acupoint to circulate among them.

He kept Insight active, constantly eyeing these small stones.

As soon as they exhibited abnormal power, he would immediately use his abnormal power to engulf them, integrating them into his own.

But no abnormal power emerged from the small stones.

Unlike before, no soft light was emitted.

He looked up at the sky, into the vast Void, yet no power descended.

He pondered.

Why wasn’t power descending?

Was it because it didn’t sense the destruction of the statue?

Then why did power descend immediately after the statue was destroyed?

The reason likely lay within these small stones.

He took out a small stone and gently rubbed it between his palms.

The stone was incredibly hard, yet, under the rubbing of his two palms, it slowly turned into powder.

He reached out and scattered it.

The powder rustled, drifting and sprinkling towards the ground.

His Super Sense remained active with Insight, constantly probing to pinpoint any anomalies within the small stone.

Yet, no anomalies were found.

So he fetched another small stone and again rubbed it into powder with his palms.

After crushing over twenty small stones, his eyes suddenly flashed.

Finally, in the powder, he discovered an anomaly. This anomaly came from these gold powders.

The gold powder was not true gold but a special substance.

He vaguely sensed that he had finally found the anchoring object.

The Shadowless Divine Sword suddenly swung.

The sword shadows enveloped the heap of small stones.

These small stones were sliced by the sword light, continuously slicing, shrinking and becoming finer.

The sword light transformed into a wheel of light, pulverizing them, making them ever finer, turning them into powder.

This time, unlike the previous time, as soon as the statue was crushed, no abnormal power descended to restore it.

The array isolated the inside and outside, and without any celestial power descending, he handled these small stones effortlessly.

Turning them into powder, then with a flick of his sleeve, the powder drifted and lifted.

He twirled his palms, causing the powder to form a vortex.

Within the vortex, the gold powder slowly sank, eventually settling at his feet.

As the gold powder completely sank, the rolling powder formed a pile five meters away.

He lowered his head to inspect the gold powder.

Reaching out to inject abnormal power into it.

The gold powder immediately brightened, emitting a soft light, akin to moonlight.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled.

He was right; these gold powders were indeed the issue.

Suddenly, visualization emerged in his mind.

Soon, the gold powder began to coalesce, rapidly forming into a longsword.

The longsword appeared identical to the Jade Heaven Sword, but three times larger.

This was the image he envisioned for the Heavenly Sword.

He lightly waved it.

With a whistling sound, the sword tip emitted golden rays, seemingly slicing through the Void.

This sword was extraordinarily sharp.

It was a rare Treasure Sword in the world.

He looked up at the sky, then suddenly flashed, darting out of the array.

The twelve experts drifting about were momentarily stunned, yet maintained the array.

He appeared outside the array, looking up at the sky.

Simultaneously, celestial power was about to fall.

The next moment, he vanished again, darting back into the array.

Huang Zhengyang, Yu Xiang, and Guo Qingyuan, waiting impatiently, were suddenly taken aback.

They were curious about what Chu Zhiyuan was doing as the situation inside the array was hidden from view.

Returning inside the array, Chu Zhiyuan sighed in relief.

The anomaly of the Golden Sword halted, the previously diffusing abnormal power fused into his own.

He sat cross-legged, joined his palms, and held the Golden Sword, beginning to operate the Sacrificial Refining Method.

Yu Xiang was curious, ”Director, what’s Mr. Chu doing?”

”I wish I knew,” Huang Zhengyang frowned, staring at the Void-covered mountaintop.

Guo Qingyuan said, ”Is there truly a way to completely destroy this statue?”

”From the looks of it, there seems to be hope,” Huang Zhengyang looked up at the sky.

He didn’t sense any violent power descending from the sky, indicating the statue hadn’t recovered.

Guo Qingyuan said, ”How great it would be if Mr. Chu could join our department.”

Yu Xiang chuckled and shook his head.

That is impossible; such a precedent won’t be set. Even if the Heavenly Sword Sect allows disciples to enter the Evil Extermination Department, the Court won’t permit it.

”Alas...” Guo Qingyuan sighed.

Time passed slowly.

Their chatter grew, increasingly curious about success.

Huang Zhengyang started pacing, feeling as if days were passing like years, occasionally glancing at the mountain and then the sky.

Time moved extremely slowly, yet the sun gradually settled towards the west.

As the evening sun hung on the horizon, with the sky blanketed in red clouds, Chu Zhiyuan suddenly appeared.

Huang Zhengyang hastened to signal him.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, looked up at the sky, then slowly drew a Golden Sword from his sleeve.

He held it horizontally before his eyes, intently watching the sky.

A moment later, a smile appeared on his face.

The smile grew broader with time, eventually bursting into hearty laughter.

Seeing this, Huang Zhengyang couldn’t resist drifting over, landing beside him, ”Mr. Chu, how did it go?”

Chu Zhiyuan beamed, ”Director, it should be about complete.”

”It’s really resolved?”

”Perhaps we can first remove the array and take a look.”

”Alright, let’s try removing the array first,” Huang Zhengyang announced, ”Withdraw the array.”

Twelve youths suddenly appeared from the Void, gliding behind Huang Zhengyang.

Huang Zhengyang looked at the pile of powder and laughed, ”Mr. Chu, you ground them into powder? Reduced to dust?”

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Huang Zhengyang glanced up at the sky and then at the pile of powder.

The powder showed no changes.

A breeze arose, lifting a layer, rustling and scattering.

He paused, waiting.

But still, no changes occurred.

One breeze followed another, lifting patches of powder, scattering around.
