Fantasy: Starting with a bowl, you can exchange it for endless cultivation.

This terrifying combat power, capable of instantly killing a peak-level opponent of the same realm with a single strike, is something that even someone with a perfect Core Formation cultivation level could never achieve so easily in a head-on confrontation!

"What a hidden master cultivator!"

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, his tone icy and piercing, filled with boundless rage: "You've been patient and unassuming, your swordsmanship is domineering and unpredictable. No wonder you dared to kill members of my Qingyun Sword Sect before!"

Immediately, his gaze locked onto the Blood-Transforming Blade in Gu Chen's hand. Recalling the domineering, strange, and chillingly ruthless style of that strike just now, his brows furrowed, and he coldly shouted:

"That last strike was sinister and domineering, extremely brutal; it is not the orthodox martial art of our Divine Dynasty!"

"It's the Yamamoto family, the god of death from the overseas island nation, with a single slash!"

"You're actually a pirate from the island nation of Japan, openly attacking our divine dynasty's forces! You truly have the audacity!"

Recently.

He didn't pay attention to the situation on Fire Mountain.

They had no idea about Gu Chen's background or how terrifying he was.

At this moment, they directly regarded Gu Chen as a member of the Yamamoto family.

Upon hearing this, all the Qingyun disciples' gazes instantly turned even colder, their eyes filled with contempt and hatred as they looked at Gu Chen.

The cultivators of the Divine Dynasty have always held the overseas Japanese island cultivators in utter contempt, considering them nothing more than a bunch of thieves and robbers.

In their eyes, Gu Chen, possessing Japanese martial arts skills, must be a hidden Japanese spy, making his crime even more serious!

Lin Feng's sword energy surged wildly, and the pressure of his perfected Core Formation stage was fully released, sweeping across the entire lake area.

"Japanese pirates from the island nation, disguised as rogue cultivators, slaughtered our sect's disciples!"

"Today, I will cripple your cultivation, sever your head, and purge the traitors from the Divine Dynasty!"

Lin Feng no longer underestimated his opponent, knowing full well that his opponent was terrifyingly powerful and could not be defeated by one person alone.

He raised his hand and shouted sternly, "All personnel, heed my command! Form the Azure Cloud Heavenly Sword Formation!"

"Powered by the array, infuse it into my body! Help me to slay this evil cultivator from the Japanese island!"

"yes!"

The thirty-six disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect responded in unison, their voices resounding, not daring to slacken in the slightest.

In an instant, the thirty-six figures changed positions, stepping on mysterious array steps, their sword energy crisscrossing, and longswords were drawn from their sheaths, hovering in mid-air, their blades meeting and their true essence connecting!

hum!

A massive sword formation instantly materialized!

The vast sword energy, interwoven with blue and white, converged into a huge sword domain, covering an area of ​​hundreds of feet in radius. Layer upon layer of sword energy continuously overlapped, condensed, and surged!

A continuous stream of array essence and sword essence surged into Lin Feng's body at the center!

Rumble!

Lin Feng's aura surged wildly, and his originally stable Core Formation Realm Perfection cultivation broke through the realm barrier instantly under the ultimate enhancement of the Zhou Tian Sword Formation!

His aura surged! He reached the early stage of the Third Grade Grandmaster realm!

Grandmaster-level combat power has suddenly appeared in the world!

Sword energy swirled around him, sword intent soared to the clouds, and layers of sword flowers surrounded him. Every wisp of sword energy contained the power of an array, multiplying its power!

At this moment, Lin Feng's combat strength has completely reached the threshold of the early stage of Grandmaster, far exceeding that of ordinary Core Formation cultivators, and he has truly stepped into the ranks of top combat power in the secret realm!

The cultivators watching from the mountains and forests instantly changed their expressions, taking several steps back with solemn faces.

"The Azure Cloud Heavenly Sword Formation! It truly lives up to its name!"

"Having achieved the Perfect Core Formation and gathered the power of everyone through the formation, he's become a Grandmaster! This is a huge problem!"

"No matter how strong that rogue cultivator was, he was only at the late Core Formation stage. How could he possibly contend against a true Grandmaster?"

"It's a desperate situation! An absolute desperate situation! Even if he has a heaven-defying sword technique, it's impossible for him to kill a grandmaster despite being in a different realm!"

"The outcome is decided; this strange rogue cultivator is doomed to die today!"

Some cultivators who had not witnessed the battle at Flame Mountain believed that Gu Chen was at his wit's end and had no chance of turning the tide.

However, those who truly know about the battle at Flame Mountain think differently.

"The early-stage Grandmaster level is strong, but it's no match for this formidable figure. Even the early-stage Grandmaster from the Sword Sect was defeated by the power of the formation. Can the Qingyun Sword Sect's formation be stronger than the Sword Sect's?"

They looked down on the Qingyun Sword Sect members.

We'll see how it goes.

Another force is about to follow in the footsteps of the Sword Sect.

In mid-air, Lin Feng stood on his sword, his aura as a grandmaster sweeping across the surroundings. His eyes were cold and arrogant, filled with absolute control and disdain.

At this moment, he possessed the combat power of a grandmaster, was full of confidence, and regained the arrogance of a top-tier powerhouse.

"You island nation pirates, your moment of triumph was merely due to my underestimation of you and carelessness!"

"With the power of the formation, I have reached the early stage of the Grandmaster realm!"

"A Core Formation cultivator versus a Grandmaster? I'd like to see what you have to offer to contend with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Feng drew his sword incantation with his right hand, and the sword formation in the sky instantly became agitated, with countless blue and white sword energies converging into a giant sword aura that stretched across the sky!

The Azure Cloud Sky-Splitting Sword, a top-tier fourth-grade martial art!

This sword technique is the strongest fourth-grade martial art of the Qingyun Sword Sect. When combined with the Zhou Tian Sword Formation, its power is amplified several times, enough to kill an ordinary early-stage Grandmaster cultivator!

The sword energy swept across the lake, majestic and fierce, carrying the overwhelming power of a grandmaster, and slashed down towards Gu Chen!

The heavens and earth trembled, the lake water surged, and all the surrounding spiritual energy was drawn away by the sword energy, making it difficult for people to breathe!

Facing this overwhelming sword strike from a grandmaster, Gu Chen remained calm and showed no fear whatsoever.

Early stage of Grandmaster?

In the Flaming Mountain Canyon, he had even defeated and crushed Ye Ning, a Sword Sect Grandmaster with the help of a sword formation and mid-stage Grandmaster combat power. The pseudo-Grandmaster in front of him, who had achieved this power by borrowing the power of a formation, was not worth mentioning at all.

Gu Chen slowly raised his hand, gripped the Earth-grade Blood Transformation Blade tightly, and poured all the mixed alien true essence into the blade.

hum!

The Blood-Transforming Blade trembled violently, and a dense crimson light shot into the sky, its overwhelming killing intent instantly overshadowing the sword energy of the entire Azure Cloud Sword Formation!

The copper body operated silently, fusing the power of the physical body, the true essence in the dantian, and the power of the soul, all converging into a single strike!

The first move of the "Nine Blades of Blood Transformation" is: Blood Stains a Thousand Peaks!

With a single strike, a thousand peaks are stained with blood!

This move was previously enough to kill a Grandmaster in the early stage. Now that he has broken through to the late stage of Core Formation and comprehended the fourth form of the Blood Transformation Blade, his power has surged. His third-grade sword technique has reached perfection, and its power is several times stronger than when he fought against the Flame Demon Crocodile and Ye Ning!

A crimson blade of light shot into the sky, like a crimson torrent sweeping across the heavens, and collided head-on with the giant sword aura!

Boom!

A deafening roar shook the heavens and earth, and a terrifying energy storm swept wildly from the lake's surface!

The lake water surged up to a height of tens of feet, the surrounding trees were all broken, the rocks were shattered, the spiritual mist dissipated, and a fierce wind swept across the entire world!

The blood-red blade aura was domineering and unparalleled, crushing, tearing, and annihilating the vast sword energy of the Azure Cloud Sky-Splitting Sword layer by layer!

The seemingly terrifying Grandmaster sword aura is so fragile and vulnerable in the face of the perfect Bloodstained Peaks!

It crumbled and disintegrated layer by layer!

In just a moment, the giant sword aura shattered and vanished completely, but the blood-red blade momentum continued unabated, carrying overwhelming killing intent as it fiercely slashed towards Lin Feng in the formation!

"No, that's impossible!"

Lin Feng's pupils shrank sharply, his face filled with extreme shock and disbelief.

The Grandmaster-level combat power he had gathered by borrowing the formation and the top-grade fourth-rank Heaven-Splitting Sword were actually crushed and defeated by the opponent's single strike!

What level of combat power is this!

The opponent was clearly only at the late stage of Core Formation, so how could he unleash such terrifying power that he could defeat an early stage Grandmaster!
