Chapter 1880 - 1849: The Might of the Daoist Lord
This figure appeared abruptly.
It seemed to materialize out of thin air, without a single disturbance in space.
But as soon as he appeared, an overwhelming aura that could almost shatter the heavens descended from nowhere.
Even Li Chen, who was within the Formation, felt suffocated.
This was a Daoist Lord, a truly powerful presence without the slightest attempt to hide it!
And this was also the first time Li Chen had truly felt the pressure that a formidable Daoist Lord could exert up close.
This oppressive aura made it nearly impossible for him to breathe.
"Little mouse, I found you."
Looking at the layers of the Formation below, Mo Daoyi’s lips curled into a slightly cold smile.
Li Chen finally saw the figure in the sky clearly.
As expected, it was him...
Li Chen bitterly smiled to himself.
He had known since his time in Mo clan’s city that Mo Daoyi had set his sights on him, but he seemed unable to make a move at that time, which was why he hadn’t come for him.
What Li Chen didn’t expect was that this guy, after passing his Dao Lord Golden Tribulation, would pursue him first and catch up so quickly.
He had underestimated the capabilities of a Daoist Lord.
"Senior, I am merely cultivating in hiding here. May I ask why you seek me?" Li Chen’s voice came through the layers of the Formation.
"Why?" Mo Daoyi chuckled softly, "In Mo clan’s city, you nearly ruined my years of hard work. Why do you think I’m looking for you?"
Li Chen cupped his hands and said, "Senior, that was purely accidental. At that time, I was at a crucial stage of the Tribulation. I couldn’t control the aura around me, which led to the leakage of energy and hence invited the Heavenly Tribulation. But having seen Senior safely pass through the Dao Lord Golden Tribulation, I was relieved. By the way, congratulations on advancing to a Daoist Lord."
"No matter how nicely you put it, it won’t work." Mo Daoyi said coldly, "If you truly want to congratulate me, come out of the Formation and meet me. Otherwise, what sincerity do you have?"
"I dare not," Li Chen replied humbly yet firmly.
"Why don’t you dare?"
"Senior has murderous intent."
Mo Daoyi was silent for a moment, then laughed, "Indeed, a clever boy. But that only makes me more eager to see you!"
With that said, Mo Daoyi pointed with his finger, and a blinding light fell directly on the outmost Formation.
"Bang!!"
A Great Formation of the Seventh Level, under Mo Daoyi’s single finger, only lasted a few breaths before countless cracks appeared and it collapsed instantly.
Li Chen’s expression darkened.
He had already done his best to overestimate a Daoist Lord’s strength but still underestimated it.
This Seventh Level Formation couldn’t even withstand a single finger from a Daoist Lord for a few breaths.
What would happen if Mo Daoyi attacked with his full force?
"Why did you suddenly attack, Senior?" Yang Xin shouted angrily.
"Hmm?" Mo Daoyi was taken aback, then recognized Yang Xin, "It’s you, the girl who’s a genius of my Mo clan, yet mixed up with this boy."
Thinking of the ruins he had seen before, Mo Daoyi’s expression grew cold again, "You should die too!"
With that, he pointed once more.
The second Formation, collapsed!
"Damn old man!" Li Chen’s expression was ferocious. He knew that passive defense was not the solution. Mo Daoyi’s cultivation was too high. Even if his Formation defense was strong, it would eventually be breached. But with their current strength, going out meant certain death.
As the outer layers of the Formation were successively breached, Mo Daoyi could also perceive the situation inside the Formation.
As he vaguely detected Li Chen’s cultivation level, he couldn’t help squinting slightly.
"Daluo Golden Immortal..."
"In just a few years, progressing from a Heavenly Immortal to the peak of a Daluo Golden Immortal, nearly becoming an Immortal King. To say you have no secrets, even ghosts wouldn’t believe it." Mo Daoyi sneered within himself, "But no matter what secrets you hold, they will be mine!"
At this point, as the formations outside crumbled, the innermost Eighth-level Hexagram Star Radiance Formation revealed itself.
This Formation’s defensive ability was clearly much stronger than the outer layers. Even Mo Daoyi couldn’t break it instantly.
"An eighth-level Great Formation, interesting. A mere Daluo Golden Immortal setting up such a Formation? I’m becoming more interested in your secrets."
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
A strange sound came from the sky.
Under Li Chen’s gaze, countless tiny dust particles began to gather in the sky.
These dust particles were the smallest and most insignificant, but when gathered in countless numbers, an immense pressure akin to facing a heavy world descended from above.
Soon, a massive palm print that shrouded the sky and sun coalesced out of thin air.
This hand was enormous.
In terms of size alone, this colossal palm could even hold a small asteroid directly.
Even the surrounding light in the sky was completely obscured by the giant palm, not a glimmer to be seen.
The terrifying pressure emanating from beneath the giant palm filled Li Chen with overwhelming despair.
This is... an utterly irresistible force.
"Boom!!"
The giant palm descended, carrying a deafening roar, and directly covered the entire ground below.
The surface, nearly the area of a small asteroid, suddenly dented under this giant palm.
The area where Li Chen was, along with the Formation, was subsumed entirely into the ground.
The powerful Formation that once withstood the collapse impact of the entire Immortal Treasure Realm now showed terrifying cracks under this palm.
That is to say, the power of this palm had reached the level of a realm’s collapse!
The strength of a Daoist Lord, terrifying!
As the giant palm lifted, Li Chen’s Hexagram Glare Great Array began to shake precariously.
Clearly, with two or three more assaults at most, the eighth-level Formation would undoubtedly fall.
Without the Formation’s defense, Li Chen would have no means to resist a Daoist Lord.
"Damn it! Damn it! What should I do?"
Li Chen thought about using his Supreme Treasure to escape, but he had tried that before.
Facing a true Daoist Lord, he might not even have time to invoke the Supreme Treasure before being imprisoned.
Going out meant death!
Staying in the Formation meant death too!
A dead end!
"It’s over," Mo Daoyi said coldly, waving his arm, ready for the sky’s giant palm to descend again.
But at that moment, a roar filled with killing intent suddenly came from a distance.
"You... go die for me!!"
Li Chen’s Eye of the Dao saw a middle-aged literati with bloodshot eyes, exuding an almost crazed and violent aura, suddenly rush next to Mo Daoyi.
Mo Daoyi seemed taken aback and was directly struck by the terrifying giant hammer wielded by the middle-aged literati, smashing harshly into the ground.
