Inside the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation, Li Chuan used Fiendfyre to block the Profound Yin Divine Fiends surging from all directions, but was unable to find a way to leave the grand formation.
He tried flying out of the grand formation, but no matter which direction he flew, he would always return to the starting point, just like encountering a ghost wall.
He knew that a trapping formation must have been added inside this grand formation, but he didn't understand things related to formations, and although Li Qingfeng's memories included studying formations, they were all very basic knowledge.
That basic formation knowledge was not enough for him to break free from this obviously high-level formation.
So he adopted the most primitive and most useful method for breaking a formation.
The most basic trapping formations use illusion techniques to deceive people's vision, more powerful ones can also deceive hearing and feeling, and more advanced ones will utilize the Five Elements, space, and even some heavenly and earthly laws.
But the root of all these is the mobilization of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which is energy.
If the energy you unleash is strong enough to affect the energy flow of the formation, then the formation will naturally be broken.
Therefore, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator who is very proficient in formations might be able to set up a formation to trap a Core Formation Realm cultivator, but they would absolutely not be able to set up a formation to trap a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, even if that Nascent Soul Realm cultivator knows nothing about formations.
Because the energy intensity of an attack casually launched by a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is enough to destroy the energy flow of a formation set up by a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator.
It was also from seeing this piece of knowledge in Li Qingfeng's memories that Li Chuan thought of a way to break free.
"Second Form, open! Eight Gates, Gate of Shock, open!"
With a roar, he directly activated his body's Second Form on the spot, and also opened the seventh gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Shock, instantly unleashing the most powerful Chakra energy.
After injecting the perfect version of the Extremis virus, his physical strength and Chakra amount without transforming into the Second Form were already similar to after transforming, and now transforming into the Second Form made his strength explode even more.
Coupled with the fact that he had also successfully cultivated the Eight Gates to the seventh gate, the Gate of Shock, the energy intensity unleashed at this moment was several times stronger than Might Guy.
What was more important was the Extremis virus's body recovery ability, which prevented him from only being able to burst out once like Might Guy and having to lie down for a long time to recover afterward.
According to his previous tests, activating this state for half an hour was not a big problem, and after deactivating it, there were basically no side effects except for physical weakness for a few hours.
"Daytime Tiger!"
An ultimate skill that could only be used after opening the Gate of Shock with the Eight Gates, Li Chuan's body was enveloped by a huge White Tiger phantom.
He saw him punch the ground, and instantly the earth cracked open, and a powerful wave of air swept out in all directions like a hurricane, repelling all those Profound Yin Divine Fiends.
The powerful energy unleashed by Daytime Tiger also caused the entire Profound Yin Grand Formation to shake, revealing the Xuan Yin Sect Elder Nan Tong and his disciple above.
Exerting force with both legs, Li Chuan transformed into a giant White Tiger and shot up into the sky, punching towards Nan Tong.
At this moment, Nan Tong also realized something was wrong and quickly conjured his defensive magic treasure again, placing the luxurious sedan chair in front of him.
However, this sedan chair, which could withstand the magic treasure attacks of peak Core Formation Realm cultivators, was instantly smashed into pieces like paper mache when it encountered Li Chuan's fist, which was even bigger than a clay pot.
"Die!"
After exploding the sedan chair, Li Chuan's fist continued to strike towards Nan Tong without stopping.
"No!"
Nan Tong wanted to cast a spell to recall his Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Mysterious Yin Banner, but Li Chuan was too close to him, his fist was too fast, and just as he was halfway through casting the spell, his entire body was hit and instantly exploded and died.
Cultivators absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth all year round, so their physical bodies are naturally much stronger than mortals, but unless they are cultivators who transformed from demonic beasts, or cultivators who practice special cultivation techniques, the physical bodies of ordinary cultivators are definitely no match for magic artifacts.
Li Chuan, in his Daytime Tiger form, could directly shatter the defensive magic treasures of the Core Formation Realm, so naturally, he could blast apart the physical bodies of the Core Formation Realm.
"Five Elements Escape Technique, Fire..."
The short demonic cultivator next to him saw his Master killed, and was instantly scared out of his wits, not daring to stay any longer, and immediately wanted to use Fire Release to escape, but who knew that just as he was halfway through casting the spell, his body instantly exploded.
"I let you run away once, could you run away a second time?"
Li Chuan retracted his fist, deactivated the Eight Gates form, and landed back down.
In fact, upon reaching the Core Formation Realm, if one feels they can no longer make progress, they can voluntarily perform Body Dissolution and enter the Afterlife, preserving a trace of their True Spirit to cultivate again in their next life.
But that requires a lot of preparatory work, and it's not like Nan Tong, who was directly blasted to death by Li Chuan, who could just go and perform Body Dissolution and enter the Afterlife.
Someone like Nan Tong, who died like an ordinary person without preserving his True Spirit, would have no memories after entering the Afterlife, and whether he could re-enter the path of cultivation would depend on his fate.
As for that short demonic cultivator, there is no such thing as Body Dissolution in the Foundation Establishment Stage; when you die, you die.
Therefore, Li Chuan's two punches also completely ended this pair of evil Xuan Yin Sect demonic path Master and disciple.
With Nan Tong dead, the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Mysterious Yin Banner lost its owner and naturally lost all its abilities, returning to its original appearance.
After landing, Li Chuan beckoned with his hand and used a summoning spell to retrieve the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Mysterious Yin Banner into his hand, putting it into the small cloth bag at his waist, along with the Blood Fiend Banner and Bloody Nail from the previous short cultivator.
He had personally experienced the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Mysterious Yin Banner until now, and it was definitely a good magic treasure; he could use it himself later as long as he took the time to refine it.
Even if it couldn't display the full power used by the Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect, being able to display two or three parts of it would definitely be worth it.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the Yun Zhong Seven had just used their swords to cut those eight Demonic Soldiers into scrap metal and were preparing to come over to execute the Elder of the Xuan Yin Sect Nan Tong and rescue the trapped person who might be a friend from the righteous path.
They suddenly saw Li Chuan, covered in muscles and enveloped in a White Tiger phantom, charging out of the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation, blasting Nan Tong's defensive magic treasure with one punch, and killing Nan Tong himself and his disciple with two punches.
The scene was truly shocking, making all seven of them unable to help but stop their sword-riding technique for a moment.
One must know that the Xuan Yin Sect Elder Nan Tong was a famous cultivator in the entire cultivation world, his reputation no worse than their Yun Zhong Seven, although he had no record of killing a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator across realms.
But relying on this Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation, he was already very powerful, able to make Nascent Soul Stage cultivators suffer setbacks and retreat safely.
Cultivators who can cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage are basically sect Masters, and not just from small sects, but famous major sects. Mount Emei is the number one major sect of the righteous path.
Besides Whitebrow True Person, whose cultivation is unknown, there is also Master Brother Danchenzi, an earth immortal at the early stage, three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators: Li Yingqi and Changkong Wuji, who are at the peak Nascent Soul Stage and control the Heavenly Thunder Twin Swords, and Duan Lei, who is at the early Nascent Soul Stage and controls the Supreme Unity Split Light Sword.
And the terrifyingly strong unknown cultivator in front of them actually broke through the Nine Sons Heavenly Demon Xuan Yin Grand Formation by himself and instantly killed Nan Tong, how could they not be surprised?
