Chapter 929: The Ten Absolute Formations Are Nothing More Than This?

Originally, the Eight Great Immortal Clans and their elders were entirely helpless against this formation, for the absolute array stretching before them loomed like an impassable chasm.

The immortal soldiers and generals had already been stationed in the mortal realm for over a month; not only had the spiritual generals of heaven, earth, and the four directions fallen, but now even these twenty-eight elders and the eccentric masters from various immortal mountains had died violently on the spot, their bizarre manners of death striking deep dread into the hearts of all.

It could be said that within a mere month, they had personally experienced the terrifying nature of this great formation.

Not a single person dared to enter the array to test it anymore!

After all, no one wished to die inexplicably like the Exalted Superior Miaofa and the others.

They had arrived brimming with matchless confidence, but at this moment, their faith had suffered a savage and heavy blow.

Their originally overbearing morale had now plummeted into listlessness, and the atmosphere across the entirety of the Eight Great Immortal Clans had sunk to a freezing nadir.

The crowd of elders looked down upon the Ten Heavenly Lords of Golden Aigrette Island, whose methods pressed down so heavily that nearly everyone gasped for breath.

Yet everything underwent a shocking and earth-shattering reversal at this very moment, for they beheld, upon the golden chariot surrounded by the host of immortals in the sky, a figure commanding a domain as if from the dawn of eternity, an immortal sovereign whose presence defied direct gaze!

"That is the Immortal Lord! The Sacred Spirit Golden Seal... That is Lord Longchi who sits in governance over the Palace of the Sacred Emperor!" As that golden seal flew down from the heavens, the immortals bowed almost in unison: "We reverently welcome the descent of the Sacred Seal!"

"Before the transformation of heaven and earth, when Lord Longchi attained the Dao, he gathered the source of the realm's pure aura and a naturally formed celestial stone to forge this seal, tempering it through fourteen thousand and nine hundred years of water and fire before its form was complete." An elder murmured in a low voice, "This object is one of the supreme treasures of the Palace of the Sacred Emperor capable of suppressing an entire world. To think this old man would have the fortune to witness it!"

"The Palace of the Sacred Emperor of the Gui Clan!?" Almost everyone stared with immense excitement as the dharma treasure drifted down, "This is a supreme treasure that only the Immortal Lords are qualified to employ!"

Among the elders, one from the Gui family breathed in sharp, shallow gasps, his hands trembling as if from pure ecstasy.

Exalted Superior Xuanfa, Gui Xuan—the Gui clan possessed four titled elders in total: Xuan, Guang, Yuan, and Miao. Though he and the Exalted Superior Miaofa were both highly esteemed titled elders of the Gui family, Gui Xuan's status was clearly superior to Miaofa's, to the extent that even Miaofa had to revere him as an elder brother.

"Elder Gui Xuan, congratulations!" As the old man took the golden seal with trembling hands, he was immediately met with a wave of congratulations from those around him.

"With this treasure in hand, ten thousand evils cannot invade," remarked another white-robed, slightly plump elder beside him. "Previously, I heard Exalted Superior Miaofa mention that the Soul-Falling Array within these Ten Absolute Formations gathers the most ferocious and evil aura of heaven, earth, mortals, and gods into one place, and is by no means breakable by ordinary immortal treasures. Yet this Sacred Spirit Golden Seal is the very source where the pure aura of heaven and earth converges, guarding the Palace of the Sacred Emperor."

The old man laughed heartily and said, "This wicked array laid down by heterodox demons has truly met its nemesis!"

"Exalted Superior Yunhe speaks the truth. Everyone, follow me to break the formation!" Holding the golden seal in his hands, Exalted Superior Xuanfa was instantly filled with heroic pride. Looking down loftily, he shouted, "With this object in hand, what wicked array is there that cannot be broken!?"

"It is our utmost wish!" A chorus of voices instantly resonated through the sky, and above the nine heavens, the host of immortals stirred like a sudden crack of thunder in the silence!

With that, Exalted Superior Xuanfa manifested the golden seal in his hands, which instantly transformed into a golden rainbow as he took the lead and plunged into the formation!

Immediately following him, the white-robed, plump old man, Exalted Superior Yunhe, along with the rest of the elders, descended into that vast array like a barrage of falling meteors!

"It is time to let these mortals witness the might of such a palace-suppressing spiritual treasure!"

Only now did the renowned elders witness the scene inside the Ten Absolute Formations. Upon entering the Soul-Falling Array, they saw only a dismal, sinister wind that seized souls and caused spirits to fall.

As the sinister wind brushed past, everyone immediately felt as though their souls were about to leave their bodies. In the center of the array, a Daoist holding a white banner shook the soul-banner in his hands. An extremely ominous feeling instantly welled up in everyone's hearts, and they cried out in panic, "Exalted Superior Xuanfa, quickly bring forth the golden seal!"

Exalted Superior Xuanfa raised the golden seal, reverently placed it before himself, and bowed, saying, "We request the Sacred Spirit Senior to strike!"

The moment his voice fell, the golden seal floated up into the air, splitting open the dark and chaotic world like a rising sun, leaving only a vast expanse of golden light between heaven and earth!

Shrouded beneath that golden light, the dismal, ghostly winds within the array were actually suppressed, becoming completely still as if they had ceased to flow.

The shaking white banner also ground to a halt. Only Exalted Superior Xuanfa remained, looking at the Daoist in the array with a cold sneer: "This time, let us see how you shall cause this master's soul to fall!"

With a sharp shout, he reached out toward the straw effigy on the formation platform: "Quickly recover the souls of the Exalted Superiors!"

In an instant, several figures swept forward like fierce gusts of wind.

"You dare snatch souls within my array?!" Heavenly Lord Yao, who had laid the formation, snorted coldly. From beneath his seat, he took a scoop of black sand and threw it upward.

The black sand was neither completely empty nor completely solid, shifting between illusion and reality, appearing just like a soul rather than a physical object.

This substance was the ultimate yin entity found only within this fierce array, something even Chi Jingzi did not dare to touch in the slightest. When it was thrown out previously, it had so terrified Chi Jingzi that he left the Taiji Diagram behind in the array and fled in panic.

To the naked eye, it looked no different from ordinary black sand, but now, as Exalted Superior Xuanfa looked through the golden light of the seal, the sight nearly terrified him into taking several steps back.

Accompanied by the wild roars of endless, ferocious souls, every single grain of black sand emitted a malevolent aura that surpassed even the most vicious ghosts and nether deities from the deepest depths of the underworld!

"Not good! Retreat quickly!" Exalted Superior Xuanfa's face changed drastically, but his warning came too late. Several figures bearing the brunt of the advance were showered by the black sand.

Exalted Superior Xuanfa channeled his spiritual eyes to look, seeing that while their physical bodies were temporarily unharmed, their souls were rapidly festering and rotting away as if submerged in a pool of acid, emitting an incredibly foul stench.

"Vile creature, how dare you!" Right at that moment, the Sacred Spirit Golden Seal suddenly blazed with magnificent golden light!

Following that, it bore down heavily to envelop Heavenly Lord Yao!

"I am the Golden Seal Sacred Spirit of the Palace of the Sacred Emperor! Ignorant mortal, how dare you commit slaughter before me?!" In an almost instantaneous flash, the golden light multiplied in power several times over!

Within a single breath, the golden radiance enveloped every single corner of this dark world.

"This is the source of purity, the ancestor of all primordial qi. Let us see how you shall withstand it!"

Exalted Superior Xuanfa roared loudly as the terrifying golden light blossoming from the seal practically forced the formation to stop operating, and all the sinister winds vanished completely!

"You juniors, if you do not break the formation now, when will you?!" A voice echoed from within the golden seal, saying, "I have suppressed this person. Slay him quickly!"

The plump old man, Exalted Superior Yunhe, reacted instantly, his face flushing crimson with surging rage: "Demon Daoist, meet your death!"

A succession of shouts rang out all around as countless dharma treasures and divine abilities bombarded Heavenly Lord Yao in the center of the array like a torrential rain.

"Boom! Boom! Boom—!"

The Soul-Falling Array vanished on the spot!

"Broken!" Exalted Superior Xuanfa remarked with cold disdain, "This Ten Absolute Formation amounts to nothing more than this!"
