There are no ancestors at all; I made them all up.

Chapter 226 Turning the Tables!

"Shen Nanting! You've really got some tricks up your sleeve! After all this scheming, we've become your henchmen, driving your prey around!"

A slightly cold voice rang out, and the middle-aged man from the Huanglong Sect arrived through the air. Dragon shadows coiled around him and roared out, trying to wrap around Chen Qing. However, he was blocked by a star curtain and could not advance an inch.

"First, they spread the news, inciting everyone to take action. Then, they secretly guided Li Qing into the Stele Forest. Crucially, they even arranged for Jiang Huan to be here beforehand!" The man's face immediately turned ashen, and his eyes flashed with cold light: "A meticulously planned scheme! A series of interconnected steps! You've manipulated us like puppets! Does your Heavenly Mystery Alliance intend to monopolize this villain and become an enemy of all the sects in the world?"

The young cultivators protected by Qu Lezhi in the distance, though in danger, couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their hearts pounding with excitement: "Such methods, this is the true battle between great powers! A high-level war!"

"A brilliant plan, truly a brilliant plan!" Chen Qing also clapped his hands and chuckled. "Last time at the Thunder Pool, I didn't realize that Fellow Daoist Shen had such the ability to manipulate events, but your arrangement is exactly what I wanted."

He was deeply moved, for his divine sense had already spread out and had a profound connection with the "Small Heavenly Star Constellation Restriction" that covered all directions!

Although this formation is only a miniature prototype of the Jade Capital Grand Formation, and has been simplified in many ways, the framework remains unchanged. To him, its profound mysteries are as clear as the lines on his palm!

After all, if we're talking about which formations Chen Qing is familiar with, the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Jin is definitely one of the top ones. After all, it was through the settings of the Dao Yan Lu that he mastered a bit of the control method of this formation in his previous life as "Chen Xu". He mastered the Xing Jin Jue and could use the power of the formation to do it!
Moreover, as he pondered it, he sensed a strange connection, which, through this formation, linked to the earth veins of Yujing and pointed to a certain abandoned Taoist temple in the city!
hum!
The clay sculpture in the shrine seemed to sense something, its eyes slightly open, and a torrent of power within them trembled faintly!

"Ok?"

But immediately, after a soft exclamation, the perception was cut off!
"That's... the Shrine of the Hidden Star True Monarch?!"

Chen Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a sense of unseen connection!

“Fellow Daoist Li is quite composed.” On the other side, Shen Nanting stood in mid-air, his robes fluttering, seemingly confident of victory. “Unfortunately, composure cannot save a life.”

"boom!"

Suddenly, a powerful pressure erupted!

"Shen Nanting!" Jiang Huan suddenly roared in anger. The "Heavenly Law Iron Prison" behind him expanded with a roar, the phantom of the Codex of Myriad Laws rose and fell, and chains of laws and decrees stretched across the sky. He shouted in a chilling voice, "Who asked you to interfere! Taking this fiend is enough for me alone! Others interfering will only disrupt the law!"

Shen Nanting's smile remained unchanged as he calmly replied, "Don't worry, I'm not trying to compete with you. It's just that this person is shrewd, possesses profound knowledge, has almost limitless spiritual energy, and has the ability to teleport. To prevent you from exerting all your strength only to have him escape, I set up this formation to prevent him from escaping, so that you can truly unleash your power and seal him off to capture him!"

"This is unnecessary!" Jiang Huan's anger subsided slightly, but his face was still ugly. He was a Nascent Soul cultivator of the Seven Realms of the Righteous Law Sect, and his words were law. At this moment, his anger was so intense that the entire forest of steles seemed to have become his judgment platform!
The grass and trees bowed their heads, and the stubborn rocks trembled. Only the stone tablets that carried the will of the ancient builders could still protect themselves with a faint ray of light.

"Within my 'Heavenly Law Domain,' all laws follow my rules! Li Qing, even if you possess extraordinary abilities, you cannot escape the law today! No matter how much spiritual energy you have, it cannot withstand the overwhelming force!" Jiang Huan said coldly, as countless legal inscriptions formed a torrent of culpability, sweeping over Chen Qing!
"Crime Number One: Seizing power and usurping authority, destroying the moral order!"

"Second crime: Unauthorized killing of Nascent Soul cultivators and slaughter of Golden Core cultivators!"

"Sin Three: Colluding with the demonic path, harboring evil thoughts!"

"Fourth crime: Recklessly using supernatural powers to disturb the Jade Capital!"

"Sin Five: Violent and cruel, disregarding human ethics!"

"Sixth Offense: Resisting arrest and refusing to confess!"

"Seventh offense: Deceitful beyond the law, disobeying the law!"

……

One charge after another was quickly woven together, drawing upon the power of the Dao Domain to transform into shackles and guillotines that fell with a howling wind and rain, leaving no room for escape!
Chen Qing formed a hand seal and was about to move, but he was forcibly entangled by the Nascent Soul Dao Domain, so he could only use his Extraterrestrial True Light to resist!
"Zizzi-"

The sinful blade relentlessly erodes that thin layer of true light!

The light on the path immediately flickered violently, its brightness uncertain.

Then, chains came whistling in, trying to entangle and capture him!

Chen Qing's expression remained unchanged, but he instantly realized: "So this is the Nascent Soul Dao Domain, the Nascent Soul Dao Arena! It forcibly infiltrates reality with its own 'principles,' setting rules and defining boundaries! This Jiang Huan walks the path of 'law,' and in this domain, he is the embodiment of legal principles!"

He could sense that although the true light on his body was profound, his own Golden Core cultivation was insufficient to fully support it, and it would collapse in an instant in the face of the invasion of this Nascent Soul Dao Field.

"out!"

The next moment, Chen Qing opened his mouth and spat out a blood river transformation that roared up, but it was instantly shattered by a series of sinful blades and scattered. It then barely managed to condense again, but its momentum had already plummeted!

"Hmph! Stubborn fool!" Jiang Huan sneered as he saw that Chen Qing was still holding on. He changed the hand seals and increased the power of his Dao Domain by three points!

The chains and laws clanged, like the roar of the laws of heaven and earth, determined to crush this "rebellious scoundrel" completely!
at this time!

"Shen Nanting! How dare you stop my Taiyi Palace from arresting someone?! Is there no one in my Taiyi Palace who can do this?!"

A loud shout rang out, and the two great immortals, Yu Lü and Ming Quan, broke through the void and arrived!

Behind the two, the Taiyi disciples loomed like dark clouds pressing down on the city, their murderous aura soaring to the sky, but in the blink of an eye, they were all extinguished by the starlight!

Seeing Chen Qing so close yet blocked by the star curtain, the Great Master Mingquan's eyes turned bloodshot, and several Nascent Soul realm figures manifested, crashing into the starlight curtain wall with a bang, stirring up ripples of immense size!
"This fiend destroyed the foundation of my sect, and this grudge must be avenged in blood! Shen Nanting, if you withdraw your formation now, you can still show some mercy! Otherwise, it will be a full-scale war with my Taiyi Palace!" Grand Master Yu Lu's voice was as cold as iron, lightning gathered in his palm, and his aura rose steadily, emanating a terrifying sense of oppression that shook the surrounding area!

Shen Nanting smiled calmly, flicked his sleeves, and the starry sky swirled, quietly dissipating the impact. He said, "Two Great Masters, please calm your anger. My Heavenly Mystery Alliance and your sect have always been on good terms. This is not an attempt to monopolize power. It is simply that this boy is exceptionally cunning and adept at traversing the void. This formation was set up only to prevent his escape and to make it easier for Fellow Daoist Jiang to capture him. Once he is captured, the truth will be judged by public opinion."

After saying that, he turned to look at Chen Qing, who seemed to be struggling to hold on in the formation, and said in a tone of condescension, “Fellow Daoist Li, you see, Taiyi Dao Palace has a deep-seated hatred for you. If you fall into their hands, being stripped of your soul and having your spirit refined will be the least of your worries. Why don’t you come back to Tianji Alliance with me? There is still a glimmer of hope for your survival.”

He spoke calmly, as if he had everything under control.

Surrounded by powerful figures outside the formation and crushed by Dao Domains within, Chen Qing appeared to be in a hopeless situation with no chance of survival to anyone!

Jiang Huan's "Heavenly Law Domain" has been pushed to its limit, and the shackles and guillotines formed by the laws and decrees are pouring down like a torrential rain!

The "true light beyond the law" emanating from Chen Qing's body had become as thin as a cicada's wing, flickering unpredictably.

"You possess the Blood Demon Art, which slaughters living beings; therefore, your practice of supernatural powers is a sin!" Jiang Huan's words became law, and a blood-red sin monument materialized out of thin air and crashed down!

A glint flashed between Chen Qing's brows, and the Blood River transformed into a roaring torrent, crashing head-on into the Sin Monument!

boom!
Blood exploded and the sin monument shattered, but the Blood River incarnation also let out a painful howl, being corroded by countless tiny law runes, as if being burned by a scorching hot iron!
Jiang Huan coldly said, "In this domain, my words are law! If I say your supernatural power is a sin, then it is a sin and deserves to be suppressed!" Chen Qing's protective true light dimmed, as if he had exhausted his strength. He retreated several steps and had already retreated to the edge of the star curtain.

Seeing this, Shen Nanting's smile deepened, and he said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Li, why resist? You've already exhausted all your options. Nod now, and I'll take you away from this dangerous place immediately." He believed the situation was settled, and the next step was to find an opportunity to get the man out of the city.

"At the end of the road?" Chen Qing shook his head, his hand seals suddenly changing. "I think the people have arrived by now."

hum!
A glimmer of starlight shone from his body and then disappeared into the ground beneath his feet!
"Hmm?" Shen Nanting's heart skipped a beat, a sense of unease rising within him. He was then startled to realize that the formation's operation had suddenly become sluggish for a moment!
"What's going on? Could he possibly interfere with the Zhou Tian Star Battle Restriction? His trump card should only be the Xuanmen!"

Outside the formation, seeing that Jiang Huan was about to succeed, the two from Taiyi Palace launched an even more urgent attack, while the middle-aged man from Huanglong Sect was also secretly gathering his strength, wanting to seize the opportunity to take the lead.

In an instant, magical treasures and supernatural powers emerged one after another, their dazzling light illuminating all directions!
In a corner of the stele forest, a cold glint flickered. It was Bing Yanmiao cautiously probing, her heart filled with worry: "This situation is really not going well. I wonder if my innate teleportation technique will be able to take my cheap master out..."

"The changes are happening so fast!"

In the distance, the group of young cultivators who were being protected watched in a daze, barely daring to breathe, yet they were extremely excited.

The girl at the Sword Washing Pool murmured, "So many powerful figures... Our Five Sects and Six Religions are truly unfathomable!"

"We have greatly benefited from witnessing this battle!"

"Now that the Five Sects and Six Religions have joined forces, who can stop them?"

Qu Lezhi shook his head slightly and sighed softly, "This child is already a fish on the chopping block. All the parties are fighting over is who will be the one to make the final move. It's a pity that such talent has become a sacrifice in the power struggle between major forces... Hmm? No, that's not right!"

Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that the Star Restriction Array he was maintaining had abruptly stopped!

"This..."

Shen Nanting, who was activating the formation, suddenly became serious. The composure he had shown when he was in complete control vanished, replaced by a look of surprise and doubt.

Suddenly!

His right hand, which was forming a hand seal, suddenly trembled violently, as if it had been burned by an invisible branding iron. The Small Heavenly Cycle Star Restriction, which was only barely operating with the help of music, suddenly shook violently, and then the array patterns reversed and the star power surged backward!

"puff!"

Elder Qu Lezhi of Yang Palace was maintaining the great formation and was the first to be hit. He cried out that something was wrong and only had time to unfold his seven Nascent Souls before he was swallowed by the starlight! The protective spiritual light on his body shattered in response, and his old body was hit as if by a heavy hammer, flying backward with rainbows spitting out from his seven orifices!
"Uncle!"

Elder Qu!

The unexpected turn of events caused the group of young cultivators to gasp in shock, their faces filled with disbelief and terror.

How could a Nascent Soul expert who was sitting calmly on the sidelines one moment suddenly be in such a sorry state?!
"What's going on!?" Jiang Huan's heart pounded with alarm, his attack faltered, and ripples spread across the Heavenly Law Domain that enveloped the surrounding area. He abruptly turned his head and shouted sharply, "Shen Nanting, the formation you set up..."

Shen Nanting's face turned ashen. He hurriedly made hand seals to try to stabilize the formation, but when his divine sense entered the formation, it was as if he had hit an iron wall. Not only was he violently bounced back, but the formation also caused a backlash. He let out a muffled groan in the blink of an eye!
"Someone...someone has usurped the core technique of the Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Dou Restriction! But how is that possible?!"

"What?" Jiang Huan's pupils shrank sharply. "The Lesser Heavenly Cycle Star Battle Restriction is a branch of the Jade Capital Grand Array, connected to the Earth Veins and Heavenly Stars. How could an outsider easily tamper with it?"

"I can't worry about anything else!" Shen Nanting made a quick decision, pinching a small bell in one hand and making a hand seal with the other. "Disperse the formation!"

At this moment——

"boom!!!"

The dazzling star curtain that confined all directions did not dissipate; instead, it emitted a magnificent and resounding hum!

The endless starlight, no longer under Shen Nanting's control, roared up in a mighty torrent and converged on Chen Qing!

"What?!" Shen Nanting's eyes widened.

Chen Qing slowly raised his right hand, and the surging star power gathered and compressed in his palm, turning into a ball of fiery starlight that pulsed and spit out uncertainly!

"According to your logic, this formation should be used by me."

Feeling the vast and boundless star power in his palm, Chen Qing looked at Jiang Huan, whose expression had changed drastically, and at the "Heavenly Law Domain" composed of countless law runes.

"You say that all laws must follow your rules?" Chen Qing asked with a smile. "Then your rules are illegitimate and should be completely smashed!"

He gripped the starlight tightly and reached out to grab it from the void ahead!
The starlight, condensed to its extreme, then erupted, transforming into a gigantic hand of starlight that blotted out the sky, carrying an unwavering will to crush stars and annihilate all laws, and crashed straight into the solemn and vast "Heavenly Law Domain"!
"not good!"

Jiang Huan's expression changed drastically, and he immediately changed his hand seals!

"All things follow the will of the mind, withdraw!"

"Boom!"

But he was a step too late!
The Nascent Soul Dao Domain, composed of countless laws, codes, shackles, and guillotines, was so fragile and vulnerable before this giant hand of starlight!
The chains of laws and regulations were smashed and broken, the mountains of legal codes were crushed into dust, and the solemn domain symbolizing "judgment" and "order" crumbled instantly, swept away in the most brutal way by the pure and tyrannical power of the stars!

Unstoppable! Completely crushing everything in its path!
The many laws that fell down contained within them the people's desires, resentment, unwillingness, blood feuds, lamentations, and despair...

"puff!"

As his Dao Domain was forcibly broken, Jiang Huan's body trembled violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura plummeted, and his face was filled with horror and shock. He staggered back more than ten steps in the air before he could barely steady himself, but his face was already ashen.

"you……"

"What a powerful Law Domain!" Chen Qing felt a sense of unease as he sensed the scattered thoughts of the people. He shook his head and sighed, "This was originally formed by you using the laws of the Immortal Dynasty, but you have misused public resources and harbored many grievances! Now that we are taking action, we cannot leave any seeds of trouble behind! We should seize the opportunity and settle the score in one fell swoop!"

He didn't stop there. The giant starlight hand swept through the air and grabbed at the person, along with Shen Nanting and Qu Lezhi!

A majestic divine power enveloped the entire area, making everyone feel suffocated!
