Legend of Swordsman

The nine individuals selected by Zhuyin were all unfamiliar Dao Lords.

Not a single one from the newly established Imperial Lords was chosen.

The same went for the Five Immortals Formation.

The nine-step True Immortals in the primary positions were all unfamiliar faces, while those assisting were a mix of old and powerful figures.

Xue He, the Old Ancestor, had initially thought he could claim a spot in one of the Five Immortals Formations. To his surprise, even his elder brother, Chu Xiong, was left out, leaving them both to watch helplessly.

The old faction members, who weren’t assigned to any formation, started to panic.

One by one, they looked expectantly at the Two-Faced Buddha, hoping he might produce more formations.

”With these eleven great formations, along with everyone’s combined skills, I believe we can defend Twin-Faced Mountain!” The Two-Faced Buddha gazed at the crowd.

Those commanding the eleven formations shouted with enthusiasm, their confidence sky- high.

The Dao Lords and True Immortals who weren’t chosen for the formations felt dissatisfied but had no choice but to accept it begrudgingly.

It was disheartening. Even the universally acknowledged Ten Great True Immortals and the Four Guardians weren’t assigned a single formation.

Suddenly, a group of unfamiliar powerful figures had reaped all the benefits.

Sensing the discontent of his old subordinates, the Two-Faced Buddha gestured to Guardian Qifeng, signaling him to announce: ”The Palace Lord still has a puppet, which requires four Dao Lords and ten True Immortals. So, Brother Chu and several of Xue He’s old friends will stay behind, while the rest may disperse!”

These words were like a balm to the concerns of the old faction.

After all, some of the old True Immortals were included in the formations.

Now that the Four Guardians and Ten Great True Immortals were all tasked with controlling the puppet, they no longer feared that the newcomers would abandon them in battle.

They grudgingly accepted their roles.

The eleven formations were the first to gather outside the hall.

Jian Wushuang’s true body blended into the crowd.

With a shift in his aura, he transformed from a Five-Step True Immortal into a Seven-Step Peak True Immortal.

One of the operators of the Five Immortals Formation, noticing Jian Wushuang’s impressive strength, selected him to join the formation.

Initially, Jian Wushuang had intended to watch the fight between both sides from the sidelines.

However, he realized that the Two-Faced Buddha might have left behind just a clone while secretly enslaving many powerful figures, alongside the current formations.

He feared that when the time came, Yang Dingtian and the others wouldn’t be able to hold the line and would be forced into retreat, which would spell disaster.

Thus, he decided to lend them a hand.

The Five Immortals Formation was indeed formidable, certainly not something that could have been created by the Ancient Domain World.

It required five Nine-Step True Immortals and five hundred Seven-Step True Immortals to operate together.

However, the power they were controlling was led by a Nine-Step True Immortal called ”Daoist Shangya.”

He had already been enslaved, but the other four Nine-Step True Immortals by his side were all from the old faction.

After all, there were only thirty or so new True Immortals, not enough to ensure that every formation could be made up entirely of the new group.

Jian Wushuang saw an opportunity here. When the moment was right, he could eliminate Daoist Shangya and seize control of the formation, turning it against their enemies.

It wasn’t that he needed to rely on the formation’s power, but rather, he borrowed the formation’s authority.

He couldn’t let the Two-Faced Buddha grow suspicious.

This way, the opponent wouldn’t flee right away.

His true form followed the formation down the mountain, ready to strike at any moment.

At the same time, the Thought power attached to Guardian Yunhai and others scouted the first-hand situation inside the temple.

The puppet the Two-Faced Buddha summoned wasn’t particularly strong.

It was far inferior to the Five Immortal Formation and the Emperor Destruction Formation in terms of mystery, but it still possessed considerable strength.

”A Universe Crystal?”

Jian Wushuang’s heart stirred as his Thought power easily detected a black Universe Crystal embedded in the puppet’s core.

It was a Universe Crystal of the Destruction Origin Source.

This puppet wasn’t impressive, but its power was undeniably violent.

With ten True Immortals assisting and four Guardians leading the charge, their combined might was overwhelming, comparable to the Emperor Destruction Formation in a life-and- death battle.

”Yunhai, you will command the God-Destruction Soldiers and head down the mountain to assemble all our forces. Prepare for battle!”

Guardian Yunhai was excited at this moment and shouted, ”Yes!”

Buzz!

The God-Destruction Soldiers took a single step forward and arrived at the foot of the

mountain.

There, towering ancient trees formed a dense forest.

Over ten thousand people lay in ambush, awaiting the signal to attack.

Guardian Yunhai, commanding the God-Destruction Soldiers, stood imposingly in the center

of the crowd.

Beside him was the Emperor Destruction Formation.

The formation had condensed into a humanoid shape, though it didn’t resemble a person, but rather a humanoid war beast.

”A Qisha God!”

The formation had transformed into the likeness of a divine beast, albeit humanoid in form.

The Five Immortal Formation, on the other hand, took the form of a humanoid face, with its only distinguishing feature from ordinary cultivators being its size, magnified a hundredfold. Beyond them stood a group of Dao Lords and Nine-Step True Immortals.

They had no formations and were in the most unfortunate position at this moment.

There was no other choice but to rely on these powerful formations to withstand the

onslaught.

As the Two-Faced Buddha gave the order, Guardian Yunhai, controlling the God-Destruction Soldiers, roared furiously and directed the puppet to press a single hand against the ground.

Buzz!

A massive totem instantly appeared.

It was the Space Beast God!

With his vast knowledge, Jian Wushuang recognized it at once.

It was the shadow of the Gold Beast God.

For there to be Beast Gods in this universe was quite normal.

”It seems that this foreign powerhouse’s identity isn’t simple at all-Universe Flying Boat,

Beast God Totem!”

None of these were treasures that an ordinary Emperor or even a peak-level powerhouse

could obtain.

As the totem rose, the ten thousand True Immortals were instantly teleported away.

In the sky above.

The True Immortals who had been on alert suddenly noticed an unknown beast-shaped totem appear above their heads. Before they had time to react, they saw an army of immortals

descending from the sky.

”Damn! How did we land in the enemy’s stronghold?!”

Guardian Yunhai’s quick reflexes allowed him to control the God-Destruction Soldiers to land

steadily in Yang Dingtian’s temporary base. He immediately activated the Destruction power within the Universe Crystal and began a massacre.

In an instant, the massive palace halls were shattered into pieces.

These halls, which had been prepared for the crusade against the Two-Faced Buddha, were

reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye.

Yang Dingtian, the top powerhouse, was the first to strike. He soared into the air and punched

the God-Destruction Soldiers out of his faction’s formation.

But no sooner had one been knocked out than another took its place.

And this time, it was the even more powerful Emperor Destruction Formation.

”Yang Dingtian, how dare you invade the Two-Faced God Palace! Today, I will make sure you

stay!”

A prehistoric beast, condensed from the Emperor Destruction Formation, charged directly at

him.

Yang Dingtian didn’t dare be careless. His Origin Source Dao burst forth, and the two sides engaged in close combat.

The battle was fierce, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Yang Dingtian’s side couldn’t determine the victor for the moment, but the situation wasn’t

looking good for the others.

This time, the battle to exterminate the Two-Faced Buddha had been organized by several

top-tier Dao Lords on Yang Dingtian’s side.

Even the ten great Five Immortal Formations could only hold back most of the top Dao Lords, while the remaining ones had to be dealt with by the God-Destruction Soldiers and the older Dao Lords from the Two-Faced God Palace.

Fortunately, with the God-Destruction Soldiers as a powerful weapon, they managed to hold

off three top Dao Lords on their own.

Among them were Silver Flower Granny and the Lord of Sky Altar City, as well as a black- robed elder, whose strength wasn’t ordinary and ranked within the top twenty.

The battle between the two sides erupted in an instant, and some had already fallen in the

blink of an eye.

Due to the surprise attack, the Five Immortal Formation had slaughtered the most True

Immortals. In just an instant, hundreds of True Immortals had fallen from the sky, plummeting to their deaths.

The brutality of this battle was unprecedented in the Ancient Sea Territory.
