Chapter 404 Zhang Yuanzhu: I will sever the shackles of hatred! (4000)

Deep within the ancestral lands of the Celestial Clan, several figures shrouded in divine radiance gazed at the crystal mirror before them.

The bright glass mirror reflected the scene of the battle outside.

The blue phoenix soared about, its wings broken, and blood and white bones fell like rain.

The scene was so horrific that even the high-ranking members of the Celestial Race present frowned deeply.

"We cannot let him leave the tribe alive, even if it means using all our resources."

"This person is too ferocious. He has achieved this level at the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. He cannot be allowed to live, and we cannot even choose to convert him. We must kill him quickly."

"I will go and awaken the Supreme Ancestor. All of you, go and surround and kill this man."

Conversations rang out among the high-ranking members of the Celestial Race.

Soon, the Celestial Race leadership made a decision.

Suddenly, the crimson figure reflected in the glass mirror slightly raised its head, revealing a pair of eyes more radiant than the starry sky, as if they could overcome all obstacles and see all the powerful figures.

The next instant.
Snap! Bang!

The mirror shattered, its brilliance exploded, and fragments scattered, leaving scratches all around.

Many high-ranking members of the Celestial Race had grim expressions and murderous intent in their eyes.

Zhang Yuanzhu withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead, where a vast and ancient island came into view.

Life is as vast as the sea, statues stand tall, sacred radiance floats like mist, palaces and pavilions stretch endlessly—this is a sacred land that awes the soul.

Behind him, blood, severed limbs, and fragments of tools floated on the sea, while Celestials stood on either side, their faces pale and filled with fear.

Even though the young man was completely unprepared, and even though there were two weak people on the silver boat who could be held hostage, no living being dared to make a move.

It was simpler than I expected.

Zhang Yuanzhu murmured to himself.

Or rather, they fought their way through without encountering any formidable adversaries; most of their strength and methods were likely hidden within the island.

However, he never intended to invade the territory of the Celestial Clan!
His gaze swept across the island, comparing it with the images already in his mind, and taking into account the terrain, he already had the accurate answer in his heart.

"Then let's begin!"

Zhang Yuanzhu's lips curled into a chilling and ruthless smile.

In the next instant, the seven spiritual platforms within his dantian trembled simultaneously, and his magical power surged forth.

Within his body, blood and qi surged, unleashing powerful bursts of energy.

In his mind, inside the ten-story glazed tower, a golden figure clasped his hands together, forming an ancient hand seal, and scanned the surroundings with his spiritual sense.

Emerald green wings fluttered.

boom!
The youth's figure vanished, transforming into a streak of blue light that raced around the island.

Streams of light shot out from the azure glow, pouring down like a torrential rain, heading towards all parts of the island.

As the light faded, what remained were array plates and banners, each engraved with mysterious patterns.

Most of these array plates and flags disappeared into the sky, only to reappear on the ground a moment later, carrying an eerie feeling.

【Special Feature】Teleport!

Zhang Yuanzhu murmured to himself, flapped his wings, and sped up, as if he were going against the flow of time.

One breath!
Three breaths!!
Twenty breaths!!!
A streak of blue light stretched across the sky, circled the island, and returned to its original position.

Banners stood tall, fluttering in the wind; array plates shimmered with dazzling light, their patterns spreading outwards and flowing towards the earth.

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his gaze to the rapidly forming killing formation, watching the Celestial Clan members who sensed something was wrong and tried to rush out of the island or destroy the formation.

He slowly raised his palm, spread his five fingers, and revealed a stone mirror.

With a flick of his hand, the stone mirror slipped from his grasp, and the earth naturally cracked open, revealing array patterns that spread out and covered it.

"The formation's core has returned; the grand formation is complete!"

A young man talking to himself.

He formed a hand seal, mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

Boom!

The array flags trembled, the array plates quivered, and beams of light shot into the sky, stirring up the winds and clouds in all directions.

These beams of light intertwined, forming a massive array that covered the island, sealing off space and cutting off all escape routes.

bang bang bang~
One by one, the Celestial Clan members who wanted to destroy the formation and escape were covered in light and turned into ashes.

At this moment, deep within the ancient sacred land, several powerful figures burst forth.

Each of these beings is extremely powerful, and strands of divine radiance emanate from them, converging into a vast wave that surges towards the heavens.

Boom! Boom!
The sea of ​​light surged and churned, its waves rippling across the curtain of light, yet it remained unbroken.

"How could a newly set-up formation be so powerful?"

A powerful member of the Celestial Clan roared, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The Celestial Clan has a long and rich history, and there is no shortage of people who are proficient in formations. After carefully observing the great formation, he stared blankly and muttered to himself:

"Impossible! It can't be possible!"

The expert in formations lost his initial blankness, replaced by despair and bewilderment, and uttered each word clearly:
"This formation connects with the great forces of heaven and earth, and even the ancient heritage of the clan and the endless prayers and beliefs of all living beings, all of which are in harmony with the formation."

"In other words, to break through this formation, one must possess the power to annihilate the clan's territory in one strike."

At this moment, all the powerful members of the Celestial Race realized how terrifying the formation was, and their faces turned grim.

They were only half a step too slow, yet they ended up like this.

Filled with regret, he realized he should have left his clan's territory and joined his people in killing the enemy.

A dignified middle-aged man, standing at the center of the powerful figures, slowly stepped forward, looked up at the sky, and gazed at the tall, slender figure shrouded in azure light:

"Fellow Daoist, is it really necessary to be so resolute with no way out?"

"Fellow Daoist, you may see countless lives within your clan's territory, but must you bury them all?"

"Fellow Daoist, we are willing to swear an oath to never make things difficult for you again. May we end this here?"

Three consecutive inquiries echoed through the heavens and the earth.

At this moment, both the beings outside and inside the formation gazed with hope at the azure figure standing in the sky.

This two-month-long campaign had already filled them with disgust and fear. If they could, they might as well put aside their hatred and end the fighting.

Zhang Yuanzhu remained indifferent, his eyes sweeping over the array of beings kneeling before the statues, still praying devoutly even at this moment.

Looking ahead, I see a young child crying while holding the wreckage, sensing the hatred and resentment that the child cannot suppress.

With arms raised, the white feather marks on the back of the hands were still clearly visible.

Open your palms and slowly bring your ten fingers together.

"I will sever all the shackles of hatred, and everything will return to dust."

Snapped!
Join your ten fingers together!

boom!
The light curtain trembled slightly, its patterns flowing, as the power of heaven and earth converged and burst forth.

In an instant, everything within the great formation began to burn.

The sacred light and mist burned, and countless living beings burned; grass, trees, birds, beasts, and even palaces and pavilions burned.
The entire formation was engulfed in flames.

Whether it was wailing, pleading, or any struggle, all of it faded into dust with the passage of time.

Only four figures remained, still struggling against the flames.

"it's over!"

Zhang Yuanzhu whispered.

With the fall of all living beings, this war will come to a complete end, leaving no room for resistance, unless...
The Celestial Clan possesses Golden Core True Monarchs!
The ten fingers, clasped together, shift and change like butterflies flitting among flowers, leaving behind trails of shadows, exuding a dazzling and stunning beauty.

He has cultivated for over a decade, mastering unorthodox techniques, reading orthodox scriptures, practicing Buddhist secret arts, and also possessing considerable skill in demonic arts.

After all, the Holy Maiden of Six Desires Peak was a good friend to him.

In addition, this unique terrain is enough to turn this island into a true dead end.

As he pondered, the emerald wings dissipated, and streaks of dark light emanated from his eyes, covering his entire body and transforming him into a great demon walking the world.

The next moment, the hand seal stopped.

Boom!

Within the formation, the earth trembled.

A surge of resentment, hatred, and pain arose within the formation, gradually tinging the array with a blood-red hue. Even the burning flames took on a reddish glow.

"Ah! Zhang Yuanzhu, you will surely die a horrible death. I will be waiting for you on the road to the Yellow Springs."

"All surviving members of the tribe, listen to my command! Move! Move!"

"Grand Ancestor, why haven't you come out yet? The clan's territory has been destroyed, and many clansmen have died."

"The descendants are unfilial, and the glorious gods have fallen to such a state."

Wailing and screams echoed amidst the flames.

Even the powerful cultivators at the Condensation Realm began to turn to ashes, their life force extinguished.

One!
Two of you!!
Three people!!!

Almost instantly, three Ning Sha True Persons had already perished, leaving only the dignified middle-aged man struggling to hold on.

But how long could it last? Its body was charred black, its hair fell out, and its six orifices dissolved.

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were icy as he surveyed the blood-soaked island, and he murmured:
"Aren't you coming out yet?"

The young man tilted his head slightly, his palm reaching out towards the direction of the middle-aged Taoist.

One grab!
boom!
The blood and fire raged fiercely, and the enemy was instantly reduced to charred remains, with no chance of survival.

Immediately following this, a surge of resentment and anger arose, adding to the formation.

At this moment, the great formation was more powerful than ever before, sacrificing countless lives with its numerous powerful figures, enough to handle any change in the situation.

"Brother Dao, are there still beings hidden within the great formation?"

As the silver boat glided by, a beautiful figure appeared beside the young man, gazing at the blood-red demonic array.

He clasped his hands together, his face showing compassion, and sighed softly.

As for Fayan, he stepped off the silver boat and came to the young man's side. Looking at the Celestial Clan members who were scattering and fleeing outside the formation, he had regret in his eyes.

Where can you hide in the vast ocean?
No one knew better than her just how resolute and decisive the Daoist brother beside her was.

As for the magical array covering the islands, they consciously ignored it and did not mention it.

Zhang Yuanzhu lowered his arms, letting them hang naturally, his face indifferent and ruthless.

A golden clock above their heads trembled gently.

dong dong dong~
The bells rang out, solemn and melodious.

With each toll of the bell, the blood flames within the formation intensify.

Heaven and earth, everything was burning, space was distorted, revealing a deep blackness.

"Ah~"

A sigh rang out, the blood flames dissipated, and the distorted space returned to normal.

Suddenly, a blurry figure appeared within the formation.

The figure was not tall, and was even somewhat hunched over. As the wings on its back flapped, feathers of light drifted down.

In an instant, the crimson color faded from the earth, and flowers and grass appeared. A spiritual spring was formed, surrounded by a light mist.

Life returned to the earth, and the bloodshed was extinguished in the blink of an eye.

"Young friend, you are tyrannical and have slaughtered countless lives of my race. You deserve to die quickly!"

Like a divine decree, resolute and cold.

As the words fell, strands of sacred light bloomed, mixed with inexplicable Taoist charm, sweeping across the vast wilderness.

boom!
Boom! !
Amidst the deafening roar, the array trembled violently, patches of patterns dissolving only to reappear in an instant.

Zhang Yuanzhu's expression remained unchanged, and he chuckled softly.

"You old pig-dog, I thought you would continue to hide."

He reached out and grabbed the golden bell.

With slightly bent knuckles, he struck the blows with great force.

Boom!Boom!
The bells tolled, the light screen rippled with blood-red patterns, and the array flags and array plates burst forth with brilliant light, as the resentment and anger of countless living beings roared.

At this moment, the entire formation was burning, like a crimson sun bursting forth, unleashing immense power.

Crimson flames filled every tiny corner of the formation.

"Formations are ultimately a minor art!"

The blood flames twisted and died down, revealing an old man with gray hair.

The old man, his face wrinkled, held a knife in one hand, gazing at the demonic figure in the distance.

Take a step, raise your arm.

Draw your sword!

The blade flashed, but it lacked a sharp, piercing edge and a dazzling aura.

Only the ultimate holiness and the ultimate coldness, as if a god descended to earth to punish sins.

In an instant, blood flames tore through the island, causing it to tremble. Resentment and hatred melted away like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

The blade's momentum didn't diminish as it slashed fiercely at the light barrier.

Zizi!

The blades flashed holyly, the formations shone brilliantly, and they clashed wildly.

In less than a breath, they had already clashed hundreds of times, and in the end, they were both annihilated.

Zhang Yuanzhu struck the golden bell with one hand and formed ancient hand seals with the other, casting out a series of magical seals and constantly mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

But the old man had already struck again the instant the blade's light faded.

Space tore apart, creating ripples in the void, and a flash of light slashed upwards towards the sky.

Sacred and domineering!
The array patterns tore apart, the array plate shattered, and the light screen flickered wildly.

Stab it!

The moment the sword light vanished, it also left a long, narrow crack on the array.

In an instant, a hunched figure sped out along the crack, heading towards the demonic shadow.

The old man raised his knife forward, his face contorted with rage and filled with chilling killing intent.

"You little devil, die!"

Zhang Yuanzhu remained calm, showing no fear of the broken formation, and simply flicked the golden bell with his fingertips.

call out!
The golden bell transformed into a streak of light and crashed head-on.

The tolling of bells continued, creating invisible ripples that eroded the great river and shattered the clouds.

Such attacks were utterly absurd in the eyes of the Supreme Ancestor of the Celestial Clan.
ridiculous!

Who is he? A powerful figure who has cultivated for 480 years and reached the peak of the Condensing Qi Realm, a peerless hero at the top of the secret realm.

He swung his long sword down, intending to crush the golden bell, and then had a good talk with the demon cub.

The golden bell collapsed the instant the long sword struck down.

Fragments scattered and flames burst forth, but only a cyan talisman (the reward for killing the eldest son of the Du family) remained quietly suspended in the center of the collapse.

hum~
The talisman trembled slightly, and strands of azure light bloomed, intertwining and transforming into a giant azure hand that pushed forward horizontally.

This is because the palm is so huge that it stands between heaven and earth, reaching into the clouds, like five divine mountains supporting the heavens and earth.

A giant hand moves forward.

wow~
The sea reversed its course, surging through the heavens, and a sacred blade of light exploded.

The Supreme Ancestor of the Celestial Clan had no time to react and took the blow head-on.

Boom!

His figure flew backward, and a series of booming sounds rang out from his body. Flesh and bones exploded one after another, and blood splattered down like a spring.

The great formation that enveloped the island automatically cracked open, and the old man was sent flying into the formation, falling to the ground.

Zhang Yuanzhu's eyes were icy cold. Without the slightest hesitation, he clenched his hands together and exerted all his strength to suppress the formation.

boom! boom! boom!
The great formation trembled, array flags tore apart, array plates collapsed, and the array patterns covering the earth began to dissolve.

The entire formation began to self-destruct, and countless forces converged towards a single point along a peculiar trajectory.
The core of the formation—the Mirror of Penetrating Void!
