My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty-Chapter 545: Breaking Through the Formation!
Gu Lan made no effort to hide anything. He directly displayed the message from the Sect Leader of the God's Reign Sect to all the disciples of the Lanyan Royal School. The message from the Sect Leader was detailed and included information about Lei Xiao and the strength of his Lei Xiao Guardians.
A mid-stage Main God Realm expert, along with an army comparable to the strength of the Main God Realm. This powerful combination could easily obliterate a faction within the Immortal Realm. The only forces capable of opposing such might were likely the seven great Houses of the Immortal Realm and the other twelve temples.
Upon hearing this news, disciples from lesser factions might have panicked, but the disciples of Lanyan Royal School were different. There wasn't a trace of fear in their eyes; instead, their fighting spirit rose.
"We are not afraid!"
"Not afraid!"
The disciples of Lanyan Royal School shouted in unison, their combined voices resounding through the sky. Even the formation master from the Demon Realm, who stood nearby, was moved by their enthusiasm.
Initially, he had been tricked into coming to the Earthly Realm because of Gu Lan's profound understanding of formations. Later, he joined Lanyan Royal School to learn more about formation arts. However, after teaching the disciples of Lanyan Royal School, he discovered the allure of passing on knowledge and was deeply moved by the school's unity, developing a strong sense of belonging.
Although he was initially bound by Gu Lan's hundred-year contract, he now saw himself as a member of Lanyan Royal School.
"Hmph! So what if they're in the Main God Realm?"
"If Lei Xiao dares to break into the school's formation, we'll show him the results of our efforts! Even if he enters, he'll leave with his skin peeled off!"
The formation master from the Demon Realm confidently declared.
His disciples echoed: "Peel off his skin!"
Everyone was this confident, not just because of their faith in the formation but also because of their confidence in Gu Lan. The vast Heavenly Tribulation that had occurred in the Earthly Realm had long been shared across the Immortal Realm. Although this information was kept secret from outsiders, it was well-known within the school. All Lanyan Royal School disciples knew that their headmaster had reached the legendary Main God Realm. This, an unattainable realm for most, gave them unprecedented motivation and confidence.
Additionally, several disciples had participated in the Great Competition of All Clans, seeing firsthand the talents of the disciples from the seven great Houses. They knew Lanyan Royal School was no less capable than those Houses.
For all these reasons, the disciples of Lanyan Royal School felt no fear toward the seven great Houses of the Immortal Realm.
Seeing this, Gu Lan was very satisfied. This was exactly the effect he wanted. In battle, morale was often just as important as strength, sometimes even impacting actual combat performance.
As for Lei Xiao and his Lei Xiao Guardians, Gu Lan naturally did not take them seriously. However, for this battle, he wasn't planning to personally intervene. Instead, he intended to let the disciples of Lanyan Royal School experience firsthand what it meant to engage in a true battle of strength.
Unlike the Earthly Realm, where there were many ordinary people, here he did not need to worry about innocent casualties. The Lanyan Royal School specialized in formation warfare, which they could now fully unleash. Additionally, Lin Lu had arrived in the Immortal Realm and brought her own battle formation army. Perhaps they could even clash with Lei Xiao's Guardians. Even if they couldn't directly compete, they could at least experience what the most powerful battle formation in the Six Realms looked like.
At this moment, a lightning storm appeared outside the Snow Clan's ruins. Gu Lan raised the Lanyan Royal School's unique battle flag.
"Students, prepare to meet the enemy!"
With a command, he waved the battle flag, and instantly, the formation within the Snow Clan's ruins activated. Although only the outer restrictions were active, and the internal restrictions of the Snow Clan's ruins hadn't fully integrated, the formation was already incredibly powerful.
Using the Snow Clan's natural advantage, these formations contained the power of ice and snow, making them even more formidable than ordinary formations. As the formation activated, the Snow Clan ruins were immediately shrouded in a frozen landscape.
"Huh!"
"I didn't expect this Lower Realm faction to find a way to use the restrictions of the Snow Clan's ruins. This will delay me for a bit."
"But no matter, where are my Lei Xiao Guardians!"
Lei Xiao shouted, and his Lei Xiao Guardians responded in unison, the clashing of their armor echoing through the heavens.
Such a synchronized action immediately caught the attention of the various cultivators within the Snow Clan ruins. Some were there to join Lanyan Royal School, while others had different motives. But now, they were all terrified by the might of the Lei Xiao Guardians, fleeing like frightened dogs.
Some even resorted to forbidden techniques to escape without a second thought.
"Damn it! Why did Lanyan Royal School provoke the Thunder Clan, and even bring that old monster Lei Xiao here? If that old monster senses the Thunder Clan curse on me, I'm done for..."
An Imperial Realm rogue cultivator who had killed a disciple of the Thunder Clan used a forbidden escape technique. But before he could get far, a terrifying thunder spear, carrying a destructive aura, descended upon him.
Divine Dawn Thunder Spear!

It was over!
That was the rogue cultivator's final thought before death.
"Anyone with Thunder Clan blood must repay in blood!"
Lei Xiao retrieved the Divine Dawn Thunder Spear. Killing an Imperial Realm rogue cultivator was as easy for him as squashing an ant. His gaze then fell once again on the ice formation around the Snow Clan ruins.
He didn't believe that Lanyan Royal School had set up this formation in such a short time. He assumed they had found a way to control part of the Snow Clan's existing formations. If they had full control over all the restrictions, he might have been more cautious. But judging by the current light of the formation, they clearly hadn't.
Back in the day, he had led an army to conquer the Snow Clan, though he hadn't yet earned his title of "War God" at that time. Returning here today brought a sense of nostalgia. However, the only thing he regretted was that the Snow Clan's last members had self-destructed, leaving him unfulfilled. Now that he was back, he was determined to completely annihilate Lanyan Royal School.
"Lei Xiao Guardians, charge the formation!"
With Lei Xiao's order, his army of ten thousand Lei Xiao Guardians transformed into an enormous lightning spear and fiercely pierced the formation. In an instant, lightning and ice collided, sending shockwaves across the battlefield. The ice instantly melted, turned into thick fog, and then was refrozen by the chilling power, falling again as snow. This cycle repeated like an alternating realm of fire and ice, gradually halting the seemingly unstoppable Lei Xiao Guardians.
Lei Xiao frowned.
He ordered again: "Retreat!"
After pulling his forces back, he ordered another charge. Each time the Lei Xiao Guardians withdrew, they advanced slightly further on the next charge. It seemed only a matter of time before they would break through the formation.
Inside the formation, the disciples of Lanyan Royal School were casually maintaining it.
"So this is the famous Lei Xiao Guardians of the Thunder Clan, using such a brute-force method to break the formation. Do they look down on us, Lanyan Royal School?"
"We must teach them a lesson today!"
