Chapter 1213: The Shock of the Holy Dynasty

The sinister-looking youth chuckled, "Just a nobody. But if you wish to visit our Great Qi Sacred Dynasty, I can introduce you."

Sun Luyuan pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, young friend."

The sinister-looking youth, Ouyang Tian, revealed a meaningful smile.

"Hold tight," he said.

With a cold shout, he instantly closed the distance and placed a hand on Sun Luyuan's shoulder.

Sun Luyuan's vision blurred, and the next moment, he found himself in endless void.

Ouyang Tian was already speeding ahead, leading the way.

Sun Luyuan quickly followed.

"This young man's flying speed is incredible," Sun Luyuan thought to himself, astonished.

The faint, resplendent multicolored light emanating from Ouyang Tian also stirred in Sun Luyuan the same sense of greed he had felt when first encountering the Spirits of Heaven and Earth.

Though he had been confident about this trip, Sun Luyuan's composure was now somewhat shaken. After aimlessly flying through the void for a moment, a magnificent sight, as if hidden beneath a watery surface, suddenly emerged before them.

It was a massive sphere of light, its internal details obscured.

Numerous stars revolved around the light sphere, shimmering brightly.

Each star seemed to be a unique grotto-heaven world.

Even from a great distance, Sun Luyuan was profoundly shaken by the sight.

"Is this the Great Qi Minor World?"

"How can a minor world be this vast?!"

As immense shock filled Sun Luyuan's heart, he suddenly realized something.

The young man who had been leading the way had vanished without a trace!

He faintly heard the young man's voice, seemingly from nowhere, saying, "Senior Baihua, I've caught a Dao Harmonizer from the Myriad Immortals Alliance. He was sneaking around; clearly up to no good..."

"Wait!"

Sun Luyuan felt a bad premonition and was about to shout an explanation.

The next moment, the scene before him abruptly changed.

The majestic world and grotto-heavens disappeared, replaced by a magnificent, spire-like palace that suddenly appeared before him.

His body had shrunk dozens of times, making him feel like an ant.

Each step before the palace seemed like a mountain peak.

The immense structure filled his vision, causing Sun Luyuan to involuntarily hold his breath.

Even more perplexing, his cultivation had mysteriously vanished.

He felt like a complete mortal.

"An illusion?"

Sun Luyuan held his breath and focused, trying to clear his mind of all distracting thoughts.

After a long while, his mind calmed, and he opened his eyes again.

However, the grand palace remained before him, utterly unchanged.

What's more...

Sun Luyuan was horrified to find that his body seemed to have shrunk even further.

"Is this... a formation?"

The thought crossed Sun Luyuan's mind, and he quickly took out Ji Hongdao's formation-breaking disc again.

Sure enough, the formation-breaking disc emitted a powerful white light.

It flickered continuously, automatically deducing and attempting to decipher the formation before him.

Just as Sun Luyuan waited with hope, the disc's flickering frequency intensified.

Eventually, it seemed to reach its limit and could no longer bear the strain; cracks appeared on its surface.

Then it exploded with a bang, leaving no trace behind.

Sun Luyuan was somewhat stunned.

When he borrowed this formation-breaking disc, Ji Hongdao had never mentioned such a scenario.

However, Sun Luyuan quickly regained his composure.

The formation was simply too complex, far exceeding the disc's capabilities.

"In that case, I'll have to try to break the formation by force."

After waiting a while longer, no other anomalies appeared within the formation apart from himself.

Sun Luyuan took a deep breath, and a dark red phantom drifted out from above his head.

A Dao Harmonizer's most potent technique stemmed from the Spirit of Heaven and Earth they had refined.

The Spirit of Heaven and Earth Sun Luyuan had refined was called the Blood Shadow.

The moment the Blood Shadow appeared, Sun Luyuan's body seemed to dissolve eerily, leaving behind only a layer of skin.

He then completely transformed into a sanguine essence.

Like gurgling water, it surged rapidly upwards, flowing against the high steps within the formation.

Wherever the blood flowed, the ground seemed to corrode, emitting sizzling sounds and leaving behind charred marks.

But quickly, the palace steps restored themselves.

The blood's flow accelerated, gradually transforming into a crimson streak. It no longer needed to ascend the stairs but shot directly towards the top of the palace.

However, the palace itself underwent corresponding changes.

The steps spontaneously multiplied, extending endlessly in both directions.

Just as the two were in a stalemate, the rapidly advancing crimson shadow suddenly burst apart.

It transformed into a sky full of blood rain, using the explosive force to scatter and escape in various directions within the space, no longer fixated on climbing.

Each droplet of blood seemed like intensely hot lava, capable of scorching even space itself.

Wherever it dispersed, holes appeared in the formation's space.

The majestic palace scene involuntarily trembled slightly.

The phantom gradually shattered, and the blood, which was Sun Luyuan, slowly vanished through these holes.

"I escaped!"

Sun Luyuan's heart swelled with elation.

Killing intent surged within him as he prepared to confront the sinister youth who had led him there, but the voice that reached his ears made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

"It was actually broken?"

"Now Master will punish me. I worked hard studying for over half a year, and I couldn't even trap a mere Dao Harmonizer..."

The youth's extremely frustrated tone did not seem feigned.

"What does this mean? Was that terrifying formation just now set up by that youth? Not the Great Qi Sacred Dynasty's protective grand formation?"

Sun Luyuan strongly suspected he had misheard.

"What was that about 'studying for over half a year'? Could it be that he's still a beginner? Is a formation so complex that even the formation-breaking disc reached its limit trying to decipher it, merely the result of his half-year's work?"

Sun Luyuan was completely dumbfounded.

"Your formation is actually quite good. It's just that your power is a bit too low. When his Blood Fire fully unleashed, I estimate even a Dao Harmonizer from the Profound Yellow Realm couldn't withstand it directly. It's only natural your formation couldn't bear it."

"Focus on your cultivation. In the Profound Yellow Realm, cultivation level still trumps everything. Beastly abilities, unique powers, and formations are merely supplementary."

A gentle female voice sounded beside the youth.

"Understood, Senior Baihua," the youth replied dejectedly.

Amidst a flash of golden light, Sun Luyuan felt himself locked by a gaze.

The aura emanating from the other party sent a chill down Sun Luyuan's spine, as if he had plunged into an ice abyss.

"This is..."

"A Longevity Realm cultivator?"

Sun Luyuan's mind went blank.

He never imagined that upon arriving in the Great Qi Sacred Dynasty, he would immediately encounter a Longevity Heavenly Venerate.

"Baihua? What kind of logic is this? Why have I never heard of her?"

"Are you from the Myriad Immortals Alliance? What is your purpose in coming to our Sacred Dynasty?" Daoist Baihua asked indifferently.

An invisible golden light had already enveloped Sun Luyuan.

With but a single thought, she could transform this Dao Harmonizer from the Myriad Immortals Alliance into mere glass and easily crush him.

After all, so many essence forces weren't consumed for nothing.
