Chapter 420 Ch 420: Boundless Desolation Sword Formation
"The preparations are complete. They should be arriving here anytime soon."
Within the valley, the very place where eighteen... nineteen Masters of Chaos had met their demise, and two Masters of Chaos were severely wounded, Ling Xiaolong could be seen wearing a satisfied smile.
Around a month prior, he successfully mastered the Myriad Killing Sword Formation in his initial attempt, thanks to the Eyes of Insight and Comprehensive Energy. His rapid progress and extraordinary perception astonished the entire Wang Family.
Now that his objective was achieved, he departed from the Wang Family and booked a room in an inn. His plan was to delve deeply into the study of the Myriad Killing Sword Formation and subsequently devise a new formation that would be even more flawless and deadly.
Normally, it would have taken even Formation Gods tens of thousands of years to do something like this, however, Ling Xiaolong was able to achieve this feat in just one month with the help of Comprehensive Energy that boosted his comprehension to an unknown level, a level deemed impossible to reach within Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong named the formation—Boundless Desolation Sword Formation.
It was an upgraded version of Myriad Killing Sword Formation.
It has to be known that the Myriad Killing Sword Formation was already capable of killing Masters of Chaos of even Level 10. Now that its upgraded version was available, the formation's destructive power could be imagined.
Yesterday, Ling Xiaolong returned to this valley and started laying down the formation. It took him an entire day to finally set up the formation. After confirming that everything was alright, he finally took off the pendant that protected him from the treasure in the hands of his enemies who could spy on his location.
He believed that they would soon come to the valley looking for him. All he needs to do is stay patient, and wait for fishes to take the bait. At that time, he could take care of all of them in one go.
As Ling Xiaolong had expected, less than two hours after he took off the pendant, around fifteen Masters of Chaos stepped into the valley. Little did they know that their doom was waiting for them here.
Ling Xiaolong had linked the Boundless Desolation Sword Formation to his personal chaos. This connection provided an unending flow of Celestial Energy that fuels the Boundless Desolation Sword Formation. He could continue activating this formation for as long as he wants. After all. not to mention an ocean, he has an entire Chaos worth of Celestial Energy in possession.
As the Masters of Chaos stepped into the range of Boundless Desolation Sword Formation, Ling Xiaolong smiled brightly and immediately activated the formation, causing a terrifying sword intent to manifest in the sky. The air crackled with an aura of destruction, as if God had unleashed their wrath. The once serene sky now bore witness to a celestial storm of swords.
The Rule of Slaughter, Death, and Destruction lent their support to the formation by erupting with boundless might, enough to make the Masters of Chaos within range of this formation shudder automatically.
Like unseen hands guiding the dance of fate, these rules infused the formation with an unparalleled force.
Down from the sky, countless swords manifested from boundless energy, carrying unfathomable sword intent and rules of slaughter, death, and destruction, descended like a rain of meteors. Each sword carried a deadly elegance that left no room for anyone to escape.
The Masters of Chaos were terrified. They could feel their death right before their eyes. It was not just a feeling, their instinct of survival was telling them that they would die if they could not defend.
"Everyone, defend with all your strength!"
Someone shouted and everyone burst forth with unparalleled momentum, ready to put forth their everything so that they could leave this place alive. They all understood that they had stepped into a trap and were ambushed.
All the Masters of Chaos, valiant and resolute, raised their defenses, attempting to withstand the impending onslaught. However, the storm of swords was far too strong for them to defend.
The Boundless Desolation Sword Formation unfolded its might with relentless precision. The rain of swords pierced through the defenses of Masters of Chaos, as if the swords moved with a mind of their own. Ling Xiaolong's connection to the personal chaos fueled this unyielding assault, leaving every Master of Chaos in a struggle against an overwhelming force.
They have even activated their Celestial Domains. However, it was a pity that even their Celestial Domains were easily pierced through and sliced apart by the swords very easily.
Despite their best efforts, the Masters of Chaos were unable to withstand the raining storm of swords. The aura of destruction left no corner untouched. The Rule of Slaughter, Death, and Destruction claimed everyone's soul one by one. There was no room for mercy within the range of this formation.
Since these people were trying to kill him, Ling Xiaolong had no intention of letting them escape. He wanted to erase them all so that no future trouble would be there.
So what if he is just a Celestial Sovereign of Chaos?
So what if the gap between his strength and the strength of Masters of Chaos is unfathomably wide?
So what if he could not even win against a Master of Chaos of above Level 2 in a face-to-face battle?
He could easily kill them all with the help of a single formation. Since he could do that, why rely on other methods?
No one was able to escape. The raining storm of swords raged the valley until silence reigned.
It had not even been ten minutes since the formation was activated by Ling Xiaolong, however, fifteen Masters of Chaos died in this short period of time. This is a terrifying matter that no one could anticipate.
Even Ling Xiaolong #1 had never accomplished something of this magnitude, but Ling Xiaolong #2 had achieved it very easily.
Even though all the enemies were dead, Ling Xiaolong did not deactivate the formation. He still had the attack launched by Wang Family in his mind. They thought everyone was dead so they deactivated the formation. In the end, this proved to be a rush decision and they paid a heavy price. Wang Qi was heavily wounded and Wang Zhenwei almost died, losing his three limbs.
It was only after waiting for another half an hour did Ling Xiaolong deactivated the formation. Then he slowly arrived in front of the corpses. He looked at these Masters of Chaos that were still alive and well just a few minutes ago, but now, they were dead.
It was all due to the Boundless Desolation Sword Formation. Indeed, it was a terrifying formation.
The reason why this formation was able to easily kill Masters of Chaos was because of the Rule of Slaughter, Death, and Destruction. Coupled with boundless Sword Intent that was supported by Ling Xiaolong's Sword Instinct which he learned from Lin Hao back in the Land of Morning Stars, it was not difficult for him to annihilate the group of Masters of Chaos this easily.
Of course, it also consumed an unthinkable amount of Celestial Energy.
Every second the sword formation was activated, it consumed enough Celestial Energy to create more than a thousand Celestial Sovereigns. Maybe, this was also why the attacks were so terrifying.
As expected, nothing in the world can be obtained for free. If one wants to obtain something, they have to pay a price.
The price Ling Xiaolong paid was obviously Celestial Energy. The consumption of the Celestial Energy was huge. It caused the growth of his personal chaos to fall behind by millions of years.
It was a huge loss.
However, Ling Xiaolong did not regret his decision. At least, he was able to get rid of so many Masters of Chaos on his own.
He slowly checked these Masters of Chaos one by one, and very soon, he discovered a compass. The entire body of this compass was filled with mysterious runes. The moment Ling Xiaolong grabbed the compass, he felt connected to the runes on its body. A large amount of information was poured into his mind, and very soon, he mastered how to operate the compass.
"It is an amazing treasure!"
Ling Xiaolong widened his eyes in surprise. The compass in front of him was a Mid-grade Heavenly Mystery-ranked Treasure, capable of calculating the location of anyone. The sole condition was that both he and the person whose location he wished to track had to be on the same land.
While Ling Xiaolong was marveling at the ability of the compass, the back of his right hand started burning crazily.
Ling Xiaolong turned back.
As expected, the Dao Tree slowly emerged. And very soon, all the corpses of Masters of Chaos were swallowed by it.
"Just what is this tree?"
Ling Xiaolong still doesn't know anything about this tree after all. He also felt no change in his strength, body, or soul. He simply has no idea what the Dao Tree was doing by devouring the corpses of Masters of Chaos.
Ling Xiaolong sighed and then muttered, "It is almost time to leave this Land. Only about ten days are left."
