Chapter 1280 - Thousand Star Phaseless Array
After a moment of chaos, the Yan Yang City regained its peace.
Of the two hundred spies in the city, aside from a few who escaped quickly and successfully, most of the other tribes were killed because of fierce resistance.
Of course, there were also fifty-three captured cultivators.
They were all at the Void Transformation and Void Transformation stages, and in the end, like Wu Hongchang, Yu Jiang, and the others, their souls had an additional "Puppet Soul Seal" from Tang Huan.
The cultivators that were controlled by the Yin Li had already been killed, the spies of the Heavenly Will City had been dealt with, and there were no longer any dangers in the Yan Yang City, but the tens of thousands of Void Transformation Stage cultivators did not relax at all. Tang Huan and Yin Li had long revealed that the Heavenly Will City army of cultivators had already rushed over from the Heart City of Lai Zhou, and it would not be long before they reach the Yan Yang City. With the great battle approaching, many cultivators couldn't help but begin to feel nervous and apprehensive.
However, when they thought of Tang Huan in the Hidden Sword Mountain, they all calmed down.
Tang Huan could easily kill Heaven's Will City's Second Elder Yin Li, and he also had a Nascent Soul Puppet by his side. Without the threat of a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, it was still unknown who would win this war between the Yan Yang City and the Void Transformation Stage cultivator.
Although they were no longer panicking, as time passed, the atmosphere in the city became more and more serious.
"Hu!"
But just as everyone was quietly waiting, a terrifying sword intent suddenly spread out from the Hidden Sword Mountain, it was as vast as the ocean, instantly sweeping across the entire Yan Yang City like a storm.
All the people in the city were alarmed and felt their hearts palpitating. They immediately understood what was going on.
That sword intent had always been there, and all the Void Transformation Stage cultivators that had entered the Yan Yang City could feel it. Not long ago, it had actually been suppressed by the great formation of yin and yang. Now it seemed that Tang Huan had done it!
But in the next moment, everyone realized, Tang Huan did not just remove the array that was suppressing the sword intent.
"Buzz!"
After a moment, a clear and loud trembling sound suddenly resonated out from the belly of Hidden Sword Mountain. From light to loud, and after a short while, it was like a thunderclap that resounded throughout the entire Yan Yang City. The tremendous sound wave rumbled and reverberated above the city, deafening everyone.
The sound was shocking, but everyone was very familiar with it. It was the sound of a sword ringing.
The crowd could feel the joy in his voice. Originally, the Hidden Sword Mountain had been filled with powerful weapons. However, based on everyone's speculations, no one had ever seen them in person.
But now, his guess seemed to have become the truth. However, what kind of weapon could actually release such a terrifying sword intent?
"Hu!"
Between the heavens and the earth, a whistling sound could be heard.
In an instant, an even more terrifying sword intent roared out from within the Hidden Sword Mountain, as though it had solidified. In an instant, it swept through the vast region inside and outside Yan Yang City like a hurricane, as though it could turn all the obstacles in the world into fine powder.
Immediately after, many cultivators suppressed their shock and came out from various buildings, curiously looking at the Hidden Sword Mountain.
"Slash!"
After a breath or two, the sound shook the entire sky.
At the peak of Hidden Sword Mountain, the Heavenly Sword Hall seemed to have suddenly burst open as a massive white light shot up into the sky. At the peak of Hidden Sword Mountain, the Heavenly Sword Hall seemed to have suddenly split open as a huge white light shot up into the sky.
"Look, there's a sword over there!"
"Sword!" It really is a sword! "
"That sword is out …"
"..."
Shouts of surprise suddenly rose and fell within the Yan Yang City.
Amidst the white glow on the mountain peak, a gigantic sword slowly rose up. The sword's body was as white as jade and crystal clear. The moment it appeared, the surrounding space seemed to be affected by it. Immediately, ripples that could be seen with the naked eye spread out. Looking from afar, the space above the mountain peak seemed to be endlessly distorted.
At almost the same time, the sword intent howling out from the Hidden Sword Mountain seemed to have increased explosively by countless times.
Inside Yan Yang City, all the cultivators felt their hearts shaking, as though they were suffocating. The surging sword intent actually made everyone feel as if their bodies were about to be torn apart. That illusion was extremely clear, as if it was happening right now. As a result, the noisy noise in the city suddenly stopped.
The vast city instantly became silent.
The excitement between his brows could not be hidden at all. The last time Tang Huan had competed for the position of Sword Sovereign, the "Pure Yang Divine Sword" had awoken from its countless years of slumber. And now, Tang Huan had actually directly pulled it out from the belly of the mountain.
Beside Xi Yi, the faces of Wei Xuan Pavilion, Meng Xingshu, and the other Elders of the seven great tribes were red with rage. Their eyes shone brightly as they stared at the sword projection. Back then when Tang Huan had ascended to the top of the "Hidden Sword Ceremony" and revealed his sword form above the Heavenly Sword Hall, they had already faintly guessed that there was a sword hidden in the middle of the mountain. But in the end, that was just speculation. Now, that sword had truly appeared in front of his eyes.
Compared to Xi Yi and Wei Xuan Pavilion, Tang Huan's heart was much calmer.
The formation that Yin Li had set up at Hidden Sword Mountain was called the "Thousand Star Non-Phase Array"! The art of artifact forging in the Vermillion Bird Great World was not as good as the Forging God Great World's, but the art of array formations far surpassed the Forging God Great World's.
In order to set up the formation on the other side, one needed to first create a "Dharma Seal".
Different seals, different formations, different formations, their power and effects were all different. But overall, the process of setting up the array was much simpler than that of the Forging God Great World. For example, this "Thousand Star Non-Phase Array", only needed a thousand "Non-Phase Star Seals".
After these "Non-Phase Star Seals" were sent over from Heaven's Will City, the Yin Li only needed half a day to complete the formation.
However, after looking through the memories of the Yin Li, Tang Huan took less than fifteen minutes to completely decipher the formation. At the end of the day, Yin Li had still underestimated the "Pure Yang Divine Sword". After the "Hidden Sword Grand Ceremony" ended, the "Pure Yang Divine Sword" fell back into deep sleep. The reason why the "Thousand Star Boundaries Array" could be successfully installed was only because there was one reason, and that was that the "Divine Sword" in the belly of the mountain was sleeping.
In less than fifteen minutes, Tang Huan had managed to communicate with the will of the divine sword in the Heavenly Sword Hall.
As a result, the "Pure Yang Divine Sword" quickly woke up from its slumber. The terrifying sword intent that had been suppressed burst forth, and the thousand "Non-Phase Star Seals" that had been fused into various parts of the Hidden Sword Mountain region immediately collapsed into nothingness, and the "Thousand Star Boundaries Array" then disappeared without a trace.
As for the "Pure Yang Divine Sword" leaving the belly of the mountain and appearing on the Heavenly Sword Hall, it was entirely because of Tang Huan's unintentional act.
