Divine Brilliance - Chapter 827
Chapter 827: First Time Using Sword Formation
Zong Shou sat alone at the tail of the giant ship. Thirty six Star Dragon Pellets were flickering around him, appearing and disappearing, their locations changing.
Actually at this moment one couldn’t call them Dragon Pellets as they were real stars.
They had totally merged with the stars within Zong Shou’s soul.
Two months had passed since Zong Shou had linked up with the fleet.
The twenty four Dragon Pellets at the start had already managed to change between illusionary and real.
However as he had to carve those dragon teeth too, the amount of stars he increased were much fewer than he had expected.
On one side it was because he was distracted. On the other side it was because the first twenty four were ones he specially selected because he was most familiar with them. They were Daos that he came into contact the most.
The stars after were much tougher than he expected.
He worked on twelve of them at the same time and only now did he manage to change them from illusionary to real.
His strength improved once more.
Two months ago his Universe Light Sword was a little weaker than that Killing Path Sword Intent.
Two months later it had exceeded it. Using the Daos within the thirty six stars, his one sword could exceed the Spirit Realm Killing Path Sword Intent!
At this moment Zong Shou could appear at any one of these thirty six stars as he wished.
These stars all existed between illusionary and real states, an instantiation of his dharma onto the world.
Unless one had soul power which far exceeded his or one grasped the spacetime Dao, it would be tough for one to harm him.
With this set of stars he was confident to be able to escape safely under any kind of dangerous situation.
Apart from these stars, he also had a sword formation around him.
A total of twelve of them, Ten Extreme Imperial Dao Dragon Tooth Swords, spinning and dancing about in the air along a specific arc.
The tooth sword had no sharp tip, due to Zong Shou’s clumsy skills it also looked really ugly.
It looked totally harmless, like there was nothing special about it.
However who knows whether or not it was a coincidence or whether Zong Shou wanted it.
A Grade Seven Eel Dragon common in the world river suddenly made its way in.
The sword formation seemed to have came alive. Sword energy exploded out, slashing about from all directions.
In just a blink of an eye the poor Grade Seven Eel Dragn was smashed into pieces by the sword shadows.
What was left was a blood rain which splattered in the world river.
The palace was simply too small and Zong Shou didn’t dare to act recklessly like he did on Gantian Mountain.
He could only come to the tail where there was no one or leave the ship if he wanted to try out his abilities.
Even if there were some movement it wouldn’t affect the body of the ship.
However due to the special environment, there was naturally some guests around.
“What a great scenery! Oh right, I heard that Eel Dragon Meat is extremely delicious. Especially after Grade Seven, it is one of the best delicacies. What a waste.”
The sword formation really was worth the “Destruction” in its name, directly slicing a huge Eel Dragon into meat paste.
As it came from the True Dragon bloodline, naturally it hated these inferior dragons and would like to kill them whenever they saw one.
His dragon tooth swords also inherited this characteristic.
Zifang and Feng Taiji who were at the side were speechless when they heard that.
Where was there any scenery to speak of in this dark void?
Weren’t you the one who sliced the Eel Dragon into that?
Jingyin closed her eyes, her mouth chanting about the Absolute Beginning Buddha. She then persuaded, “Ruler all life are equal. Although one has to kill for food, what there is a karmic cycle for everything. However we shouldn’t treat life so easily. This Eel Dragon hasn’t offended us and we have so many resources so why did you have to kill it just for fun?”
Zong Shou felt that it made sense and felt guilty about it.
He definitely wouldn’t tell her that he actually had no control over the formation.
Like once the formation was crafted it had its own life and didn’t listen to his orders at all/
It would instinctively destroy everything else within the formation.
What was weird was that Zong Shou didn’t sense that there were artifact spirits within the twelve Dragon Tooth Swords.
He had a stomach full of questions which he wanted to ask Chen Yuexuan.
Unfortunately they were too far away from Tianfang World and he couldn’t just rush back over.
Luckily after he analysed it he basically confirmed that the sword formation wouldn’t turn on him.
However the blueprints had some spiritual patterns which looked slightly weird.
It couldn’t be considered extra but there didn’t seem to really be a need for it…
He could only deduce that the person who spread this formation down had a huge blood debt with the spirits of this world.
Or maybe since he was unable to reach the End Realm his mental state had changed.
At this moment Zong Shou was helpless. Not to mention how it didn’t pose any threat to him. Even if it had the strength to kill him it would need to quench its thirst and have the ability to do so.
Speaking of which, the ancient talisman that Chen Yuexuan sold to him was consuming more and more energy recently.
The person who laid the curse on him must be going all out to crazily track where his location was at.
He thought that he could delay it for half a year but now he could only drag this by four months.
The Cloud World had Common People Path protecting so he didn’t need to worry about the safety of his family.
The only thing he was worried about was Ruoshui and Ruolan as well as the three hundred thousand soldiers who followed him out.
In other words he had to break open the situation in the shortest amount of time and then go all out to deal with the crazy chase and killing of that person.
Until one of them dies!
Killing intent flashed in his eyes and then he smiled, returning back to normal. He sighed, “Unfortunately my sword formation is unable to find a suitable opponent to test its strength…”
His eyes were filled with annoyance as he looked behind him.
Zifang didn’t make a sound, sitting really still. Feng Taiji jolted, a chill ran down his spine.
After Zong Shou crafted the tenth sword, he had wanted to find someone to test the formation out.
Coincidentally at that moment he wanted to challenge to see how far the gap between him and the person who was invincible in the Cloud World.
The outcome was tragic.
In just ten breaths he was heavily injured. If not for Zong Shou holding back he would have been shredded into pieces within the formation.
After which he had a psychological barrier. Each time he looked at the formation he would subconsciously stay far away form it.
At the same time he found it weird, looking at the stars shining around Zong Shou.
Zong Shou had displayed the sword formation several times but these stars only appeared on the outside but weren’t used. There was a mysterious veil over them, making it hard for one to grasp their ability.
It was similar to the Taoist Faction’s Star Falling Technique. Zong Shou pillaged The Central Cloud Continent and probably obtained a portion of them. Did this fellow change to cultivate that?
This could indeed make up for his weakness in spiritual cultivation. However the core of this technique was definitely still within Daoling Vast Habitat.
If Zong Shou wanted to walk this path he had to either perfect it or forcefully snatch it. Either way it would be extremely difficult.
Zifang and Feng Taiji acted death, the other Spirit Realm experts naturally wouldn’t agree.
Ruoshui wanted to but Zong Shou wasn’t willing.
The people were instantly silent, only to hear Zhao Yanran scoff coldly, “Arrogant!”
Zong Shou was indeed bragging. After the formation was formed he did have the ability to suppress all Spirit Realm cultivators.
So what if all 10800 of the Dragon Tooth Swords were done?
Just as he was about to speak, his brow rose up and then he smiled.
“Forget it, since you all are unwilling I won’t force you. The person to test it out has arrived.”
Travelling for months, they finally reached the chaotic land of his memory!
In the next moment a cold scoff spread out from afar.
“This is Yuanlian World! Where did you people come from and what for?”
Along with the sound, dozens of spiritual sense spread out through the air and reached over.
Zong Shou didn’t reply, he didn’t bother about his identity as a Country Ruler. However it was indeed inappropriate for him to speak now.
There were naturally people at the front of the ship to do so.
“We are soldiers from Cloud World Great Gan, here to expand our land! We heard that Yuanlian World has no owner so we came to claim it!”
Before his words were completed a few maniacal laughs spread out from the other side.
“Cloud World Great Gan? I was thinking which power it was? So it is the country bumpkins of the Cloud World. Hiding your heads for ten thousand years and finally running out from your turtle shells?”
Someone else said, “We have taken over this place. Go back to where you came from. If not if we battle, don’t blame us for being merciless and killing all of you!”
“This is a place where heroes compete, do you think there is a place for you all?”
The moment those words spread over, Feng Taiji and Zhao Yanran’s expression turned green.
Anyone who was called a country bumpkin would feel annoyed and would definitely react.
Zifang’s expression was also really ugly. Although the Buddhist Faction came to the Cloud World from the outside but he himself was a part of the Cloud World.
In other words he was one of the country bumpkins mentioned.
The fleet didn’t bother and continued to head forwards towards that Yuanlian World.
Feng Taiji and the others each took their own spots, fighting intent rising, covering the ship to threaten them.
A few people appeared in the distance, dozens of weird looking ships appeared.
They charged from all around, surrounding them.
“Fifteen Spirit Realm, you actually have some strength, however just you alone is a little lacking.”
Before those words were said, a saber light sped through the air. Like a mountain collapsing it gave off a vast and intense aura.
Zong Shou laughed from the back of the ship.
The few people were here both to stop them and also to probe.
He didn’t expect that there was actually a person who would start the battle.
Chen Yuexuan had said that all the swords within the formation would have to see blood before they are official considered initiated within.
Till date only three of them saw blood. Who knew that there were so many people here that he could use.
The saber light slashed down. Feng Taiji also charged up from the ship with a sword, the weapons clashed and instantly shook the sky.
Feng Taiji’s body landed like a kite whose string was broken, however it also caused the giant ship to be fine.
That person laughed out loud, “Wow actually merging spirit and martial arts, I underestimated you!”
At this moment the twelve white colored Dragon Tooth Swords in front of Zong Shou flew up into the air.
