I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 56 Grandmaster personally protects them.

The handsome young man made a powerful move, crushing and annihilating all those who had secretly attacked him across the endless void, thus intimidating everyone.

But in the next moment, an indescribable terrifying aura silently permeated this place, chilling everyone to the bone.

"The Ten Deadly Formations?!"

Master Huanglong was surprised and his brows furrowed. The Qingxu Sect Leader and the elders of the Council Hall also changed color immediately, sensing that something was wrong.

Someone actually unleashed the Ten Killing Formation, clearly determined to carry out an act of annihilation!

The Ten Fiends refer to ten ancient demon gods, and the Ten Fierce Killing Array is a killing array left behind by each of the ten demon gods.

Over countless years, the Ten Killing Arrays that still exist today are mostly incomplete and fragmented, but they are still absolutely astonishing, with unimaginable destructive power.

In order to nip Shi Daohan in the bud, they even brought out this kind of killing formation. You can imagine how determined the people in the shadows were!

"Moo"

A strange sound rang out, and a blue ox as tall as a mountain appeared on the distant horizon, slowly approaching the Santiago Peak.

An old Taoist priest sat on the back of a blue ox. He was hunched over, with white hair, and as thin as a rake. His skin was dry and his bones were wrapped around his skin. He looked frail and weak.

He was dressed in a faded, old Taoist robe. On his left elbow was a whisk with only a few stray hairs. In his right hand, he held a tattered banner with yin-yang and eight trigrams patterns that could be vaguely seen, and the six large characters "[Understanding Yin and Yang, Determining Life and Death]" written on it.

He looked like a charlatan who conscientiously tricks people on the street, but when the high-ranking members of the Shushan Immortal Alliance saw this old man, they were all terrified.

"Great-great-great-grandmaster?! What brings you here, sir? And you've even descended in your true form..."

Just moments ago, the handsome young man and the Yellow Dragon Immortal had an air of dominance over the world, but now they were even struggling to speak properly and hurriedly ran over to pay their respects and greet them.

The sect leader, Qingxu, and all the elders of the council hall knelt down and kowtowed, saying in unison, "We pay our respects to our Supreme Grandmaster!"

This old man, who rode a blue ox and looked like a charlatan from the martial arts world, was actually the Grandmaster of the Shu Mountain Immortal Alliance!

This is the oldest of the old, you could say it's a living fossil.

Everyone from Shushan was dumbfounded. They never expected that Shi Daohan Chongguan's Void God Realm would actually alarm even the mysterious Grandmaster who was rarely seen, and that his true form would descend upon this world!

"If I hadn't come, could you have kept those scoundrels in check?"

The old Taoist priest slightly opened his eyes, glanced at the people from Mount Shu, and then made a hand seal with one hand.

Immovable Mount Tai Seal!

The old Taoist priest made a hand seal with one hand, invoking the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth to suppress all directions. With immeasurable power, he forcibly suppressed the Ten Killing Formation, preventing it from activating.

"Hehe, although the Ten Killing Formation is astonishing, it is not yet so invincible. At most, it will just take a little more time." Huanglong Zhenren scratched his head and smiled foolishly, showing no sign of being an ancestor.

The handsome young man quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, that's right. I don't think the person in the shadows has a very deep understanding of the Ten Killing Formation. My senior brother and I could barely handle it. I didn't expect it to alarm Grandmaster."

The old Taoist priest glanced at them sideways and bluntly retorted, "Stop bragging. If I hadn't come here in person, you would all be dead here today. It's a good thing none of you are in your true forms, otherwise the loss would have been huge."

Both elders were startled: "Is it that serious?"

The old Taoist priest nodded: "It's that serious."

"Grandmaster, do you know who set up this Ten Killing Formations to kill Xiao Daohan?" Huanglong Zhenren asked.

"This person's strength is not much weaker than mine. There are only a handful of people like him in the entire China. After this matter is settled, I will personally go and settle accounts with them. You don't need to ask me any more questions about this," the old Taoist said slowly.

"boom!"

Just then, an unparalleled killing intent surged into the sky, resisting the old Taoist's Immovable Mount Tai Seal. The Ten Killing Formation was incredibly powerful!

"This is……"

Everyone from Mount Shu was shocked. Just how far had the person who secretly intervened comprehended the Ten Killing Formation? Even under suppression, they were still able to force it to operate.

Both Master Huanglong and the handsome young man felt a chill in their hearts. No wonder their grandmaster said they might perish here. Judging from the situation, the person who secretly set up the formation must be as strong as their grandmaster.

Shi Daohan remained calm and unmoved by anything happening in the outside world, focusing all his attention on breaking through to the Void God Realm. His body was filled with Daoist energy, pure, ethereal, and otherworldly.

It's as if a primordial deity sits cross-legged between heaven and earth, inspiring an urge to bow down and worship.

"boom"

A massive amount of pure spiritual energy surged and boiled, refining all the spiritual essence and transforming it into magnificent galaxies that converged towards Shi Daohan under the divine moon, penetrating her body and making her radiant and glowing.

This was a visible transformation; her body became increasingly radiant and flawless.

"Thump...thump thump..."

It sounded as if someone was beating the war drums of heaven, making everyone's ears ring.

That was the sound of her heartbeat, echoing throughout this world.

"Look, she's getting a blood transfusion!"

Inside the magnificent church, all the high-ranking figures of Horagaka Academy were shocked to discover that Shi Daohan was undergoing a complete transformation!

"boom!"

Shi Daohan drew a massive amount of vital energy into his body, making his physique increasingly radiant and translucent.

With tens of thousands of pure spirit stones being activated simultaneously, it was impossible for them to be completely absorbed and refined. Moreover, the several isolation formations that Shi Daohan had set up in advance could not contain this massive amount of spiritual essence, and a considerable amount of it leaked out, illuminating the entire Horagaka Academy.

On the other side, the old Taoist priest was fighting against the Ten Killing Formation alone, gradually erasing some of the formation patterns.

"Rumble rumble rumble"

Suddenly, a huge hole appeared in the sky, and a large, earth-yellow hand reached out from it, grabbing directly at Shi Daohan.

This giant hand covered the sky, obscured the stars and moon, and severed the essence of this world. It was terrifying and chilling.

"Heavens! A gigantic hand that cleaved through the heavens and earth! What a terrifying existence this is?!"

The high-ranking members of Horagaka Academy were stunned. Everything they saw today had seriously overturned their previous understanding.

"Headmaster Donaldson, can you do that?" A senior member looked at Headmaster Donaldson.

"To attack from such a distance, completely ignoring spatial limitations, is a technique I cannot perform," Headmaster Donaldson said with a shake of his head and a sigh.

"Even a great mage like you couldn't do it. Just how terrifying are the cultivators of Eastern China?" The high-ranking members of Horagaka Academy were all horrified, finding the thought utterly terrifying.

A large, earthen-yellow hand covered the sky and the moon, pressing down directly on Shi Daohan, wanting to mercilessly obliterate him.

"How dare you, thief!"

With a sharp shout, Sect Leader Qingxu, along with the other four elders, attacked simultaneously, each extending a large hand to meet the incoming attack and collide with the earthen-yellow hand.

"puff!"

An elder coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body staggering several steps as if struck by lightning.

Even the sect leader of Qingxu had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and was seriously injured.

"boom!"

The handsome young man made his move, flashing to the front of the large crack and flicking his finger to unleash a sword beam.

"bite"

The large, earthen-yellow hand was shaken back and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"roar……"

Suddenly, several large cracks appeared in the sky. No one emerged, only terrifying roars of beasts emanated from them, shaking the entire sky violently.

The more than thirty elders of the Council Hall all flew back a distance, each raising their protective divine light, as some were unable to withstand the force of the attack.

Master Huanglong used hand seals to isolate Saint Dajia Peak from Horagaka Academy, preventing the sound waves from disturbing the teachers and students in the academy.

The handsome young man, Master Huanglong, and other powerful figures from Mount Shu all took action, restoring peace to this world.

"Disrupting Xiaodao Hanchong Pass is worse than murder!" Sect Leader Qingxu's expression was solemn.

The greatest taboo for cultivators attempting to break through barriers is being disturbed. If their minds become unstable, all their previous efforts will be wasted, which is a minor matter. In severe cases, they may perish on the spot, losing both their body and soul, and their cultivation will be extinguished.

The person in the shadows wanted to cut off Shi Daohan's path to enlightenment at the lowest possible cost. Ideally, she would die on the spot, but at the very least, she would be paralyzed and unable to cultivate anymore.

At such a critical moment, if Shi Daohan's mind and state of mind are disturbed even slightly, she could fall from the clouds into an abyss, never to recover.

"These scoundrels! If Xiao Daohan really loses all his efforts because of them, I, your ancestor, will raze their ancestral temple and wipe out their entire family!" the handsome young man said fiercely.

On the other side, the old Taoist priest finally wiped the array patterns of the Ten Killing Formation clean, but he did not let his guard down, wondering what other tricks the person in the shadows would pull.

"Fellow Daoists, do you really have to go to such extremes? Can't you give this old Daoist some face?" the old Daoist said calmly to the void.

"You old codger, what face do you have?"

A chilling voice came from the void.

"I believe I still have some influence in China," the old Taoist said shamelessly.

"You old codger, don't say I didn't warn you. If you don't want to die, you'd better go back to Mount Shu and be your Supreme Grandmaster in peace. Maybe you can prolong your life for a few more years. Otherwise, you'll die here today!"

"You son of a bitch! I've been treating you all politely, and you're taking advantage of my kindness and barking at me like a dog? You really think I'm afraid of you?!"

The old Taoist priest immediately started cursing, showing none of the demeanor expected of a supreme master of a major Taoist sect.

The handsome young man and Huanglong Zhenren, along with the Qingxu Sect Leader and all the elders of the Council Hall, were dumbfounded. They never expected that this mysterious Grandmaster would have such a fiery temper, starting to curse at the slightest disagreement.

"Grandmaster is mighty!"

"So domineering!"

Everyone gave a thumbs up.

At this moment, Shi Daohan, sitting cross-legged under the bright moon, remained unmoved. Her body was like seven-colored glass, clear and flawless. The boundless essence and endless divine light cleansed every inch of her flesh and blood, as if a deity was about to awaken.

"What do you think the innate phenomenon that Xiao Daohan has awakened will be?"

"Nine stars in the sky, the Yin-Yang diagram of life and death, the Ancestral Dragon severing the Heavenly Gate... I think these kinds of phenomena are very likely, after all, among the young generation of geniuses, these are the most common innate phenomena."

The elders of the council hall whispered among themselves.

Suddenly, Shi Daohan's heartbeat quickened, and the next second it burst into flames, divine fire shooting into the sky!

Blood oozed from every pore of her body, a vibrant crimson, with an inextinguishable divine fire raging on her crystalline skin, hissing and crackling, the air thick with the stench of blood.

"What happened? Why is Shi Daohan on fire?!"

The high-ranking members of Horagaka Academy who witnessed all of this were shocked, wondering why this was happening.

"I think this might be what Eastern cultivators call a complete transformation!" Dean Donaldson said solemnly.

This was a metamorphosis similar to a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. He had only heard about it before, but he never expected to witness the whole process today. His heart was filled with emotion and he could not calm down.

Fresh blood kept flowing out of Shi Daohan's pores, his heart pounded violently, and new blood was generated, carrying a faint purple glow.

"Crack!"

Soon, everyone heard the sound of bones breaking again. Shi Daohan's bones shattered inch by inch, and then regenerated, becoming even more crystalline.

"Pop"

In the end, Shi Daohan's physical body shattered, like a beautiful piece of jade cracking.

Shedding the mortal body and forming an immortal body was a very thorough process, with the internal organs, bones, flesh, and the entire physical body undergoing a transformation.

The sky was dyed red, and raging flames enveloped her, much like the legendary phoenix rising from the ashes, with every bone, every inch of flesh, and even her hair being replaced.

"This...this is too cruel! Is this what they call a complete transformation, and all it takes is to go through such pain and torment?" The high-ranking members of Horagaka Academy felt a chill run down their spines and could no longer bear to watch.

Dean Donaldson shook his head: "This is not hardship, but rebirth, something many people would gladly experience!"

Endless spiritual energy surged wildly, washing over Shi Daohan's body, completing a blood and bone transformation, until he completely shed his original physical shell and regenerated himself!

However, those in the shadows clearly wouldn't let this process proceed smoothly, and soon another extremely powerful being made a move.

This place seemed to be about to be torn apart, trembling violently with thunderous sounds, extinguishing all life.

The old Taoist priest, riding on the back of the blue ox, didn't even open his eyes. He simply waved the whisk in his hand, which had only a few scattered white hairs. In an instant, all the cracks in the sky were completely healed, and all sounds ceased, becoming quiet.
