Purple Mist Dao Master-Chapter 822 - 529: Open the City Gates, Welcome the Chuang King, the Chuang King Has Arrived

Inside and outside Guangming City, all the Innate and Divine Generals witnessed Yan Chuan's mighty display. He circled the city forty-nine times, and when he stopped, sword qi erupted like thunder, transforming in mid-air into a sword formation.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Sword qi crisscrossed, chilling and fierce!

Duke Zhuyu looked out from the city wall and saw the sword qi as tangible yet formless, truly exquisite. They complemented each other, forming 14 sword arrays, each group of seven forming a major array.

From Tianshu to Shaking Light, the momentum was indeed extraordinary.

The two Big Beidou Formations, one orthodox and one unusual, mutually generated and inhibited, forming horns against each other.

Each 98 sword qi suddenly scattered, sometimes forward and sometimes backward, transforming endlessly.

Once activated, the 14 Beidou arrays connected layer upon layer, the power was unimaginable.

Although the array transformations within Guangming City were mysterious, they were ultimately not as flexible and changeable as the sword qi arrays. Suddenly, 686 sword qi surrounded Guangming City, tearing a hole in the city's defense array—

"Bad!"

"Let's go!"

Duke Zhuyu was shocked.

Yan Chuan shouted loudly and, along with Tan Yunqing, led more than ten Innate warriors to leap into the city.

Guangming City!

Broken in response!

...

"City Lord Yan!"

"Marvelously skilled!"

Duke Zhuyu was captured and looked at Yan Chuan across from him, finding it hard to imagine that there was such a person in the world, "One person forms an array, sword qi is grim, once the sword array is formed, who can resist?"

Duke Zhuyu was not flattering; truly, Yan Chuan's sword qi version of "Wave Riding Micro Steps" was too astonishing.

Using steps to move trigrams, trigrams to move qi, qi to move meridians, meridians to move the sword, this is the fourth form of "Wave Riding Micro Steps" called "Breaking Body." But today, Yan Chuan demonstrated the fifth move, "Sword Net," based on "Breaking Body," integrating all sword qi left by footsteps, forming either the "Heavenly Gang Beidou Formation" or the "True Martial Seven Style Formation," laying out the sword qi with twelve main meridians and ten fingers and two feet, forming a net of sword qi, known as "Sword Net."

True Skill Fifth Move!

This was the first time Yan Chuan deployed "Sword Net" after mastering it. Even though this move had a long 'preparation' time, its power was visible; as long as Yan Chuan had sufficient time and no interference, the power of his sword formation and sword net could rival a Fifth-Rank Divine General!

Strong, strong, strong!

Unstoppable strength!

Even Yan Chuan himself was amazed, not to mention his opponent, Duke Zhuyu.

"Proving Innate Dao is not easy, cultivating to Third-Rank Divine General is even harder. I have no intent to kill or destroy your Dao. Duke Zhuyu is free to stay or leave. If staying, obey Tan Valley's laws and systems. If leaving, do no evil and do not oppose me again, otherwise, I will hunt you in heaven and earth!"

Yan Chuan gave Duke Zhuyu two options.

But Duke Zhuyu had no other way out; he smiled bitterly: "I surrender willingly!"

...

"As Heavenly Fire descends, Earth Fire erupts, poor men can't survive recently."

"Open the gates early to welcome Chuang King, ensuring joy for both great and small."

"Slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare wine and brew, open the city gates to welcome Chuang King, no need to panic when Chuang King arrives."

"Strike down the rich, clear historical families, with Chuang King backing us."

"Be neither slaves nor dogs, live joyfully together."

...

Yan Chuan took over Guangming City, opened the gates wide to accept refugees from all directions, and instructed the Innate generals to escort batches of Tan Valley Army inside. Once inside, they swiftly took control of the Guangming Army and the array, and then cracked down on tyrannical elites and historical families. Anyone committing crimes was severely punished, regardless of background.

Yan Chuan entered the city.

Thunderous momentum.

In just one day, the heads rolled and blood flowed in Guangming City, quickly stabilizing the situation and restoring order.

Within a day, the population of Guangming City surged by fifty percent, exceeding 1.6 million, with over 400,000 refugees arriving from around Guangming City.

Yan Chuan treated everyone equally—

"Whether resident or refugee, if you dare commit evil or cause chaos, you will be killed!"

A benevolent person should not wield soldiers!

A chaotic world requires strict measures!

Yan Chuan was not a benevolent man.

As for the Essence Stones required to maintain the large array, after a new round of searching in Guangming City, there were about 110,000 jin left, enough for five days at 20,000 jin per day.

"In five days, the Heavenly Calamity should be over!"

Even if the calamity lasts a few more days, Yan Chuan can easily provide tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of jin of Essence Stones.

Even amid world chaos, Yan Chuan does not lack money.

However, after the 'Heavenly Ladder' was destroyed and 'Heavenly Ladder City' no longer existed, finding a stable source of income would be extremely difficult for Yan Chuan!

"Step by step!"

At least during this Heavenly Calamity, Tan Valley Realm can be completely cleansed. After the calamity, all manpower in Tan Valley Realm can be unified, focus the energy on great deeds, and fully develop resources to enter the fast lane. Monthly income and profit are estimated to swiftly break through the million mark, and as City Lord, Yan Chuan rightfully owns half, which amounts to 50 Primordial Pills a month.

Cut some stones.

Give martial arts lectures.

In the short term, he can fully maintain cultivation needs.

"Sixth Layer."

"Seventh Layer."

"Eighth Layer."

"Ninth Layer."

Yan Chuan is four stages away from becoming a Third-Rank Divine General, Innate Ten Layers is the third-rank: "Four stages, at least 1,000 Primordial Pills!"

...

After Guangming City comes Yong Mountain City.

Leaving Chen Ze along with Jing Bao and Peng Fannian to hold Guangming City, Yan Chuan led Tan Yunqing, Jiang Bianliu, Huang Wuniang, Ying Jifeng, Luo Qi, Lu Yuru, Shi Qingke, Ban Xianfu, Yu Jinpeng, Jin Yutang, Fu Yunzhan and eleven other Divine Generals, along with Duke Zhuyu and twelve other Guangming City Divine Generals, a total of twenty-four Divine Generals, heading grandly to Yong Mountain.

However, before Yan Army arrives, Yong Mountain City has already fallen into disaster.

...

"Screech~"

In Yong Mountain City, an eagle's cry echoed, full of hostility.

Above, a mighty eagle soared in circles.

Below, the multitude of beasts surged like a tide.

Amid the confluence of heavenly and earthly fires, they pushed forward at all costs, tearing gap after gap of varying sizes in the grand formation of Yong Mountain City. Within the city, led by Sheng Xuan, fourteen Divine Generals rushed to slay them, yet upon looking around, one could see alien beasts everywhere, overwhelming the city.

"Beast!"

Sheng Xuan soared into the sky, wielding his blade in a fierce battle against the Black Crowned Golden Eagle.

This had initially been Sheng Xuan's next hunting target, the first Beast King of 'Heavenly King Ridge', a third-Rank in strength, extremely fast; Sheng Xuan's ambushes had been narrowly avoided by the Black Crowned Golden Eagle each time.

In recent days, Sheng Xuan had slain another Beast King, improving his strength, planning to hunt down this Black Crowned Golden Eagle, yet the latter had come to him voluntarily.

Logically, with the prey coming to him, Sheng Xuan should have been delighted. However, looking at this 'Black Crowned Golden Eagle' before him, Sheng Xuan doubted whether it was indeed the one he had chased off with fright before—

Upon closer inspection.

This 'Black Crowned Golden Eagle' had jet-black feathers atop its head, golden claws, and eyes that glowed blue, looking no different, but the size was off!

Body length: 21 meters!

Wingspan: 36 meters!

Its speed surpassed Sheng Xuan's by at least one entire level!

"It's bigger!"

"It's faster!"

"Is this truly the same 'Black Crowned Golden Eagle'?"

With blade in hand, Sheng Xuan stood on full alert, and suddenly, the Golden Eagle flapped its wings, breaking the sound barrier with ease, advancing and retreating unpredictably to attack.

True or false!

The Golden Eagle could act with reckless abandon, but Sheng Xuan had to go all out!

Boom, boom, boom!

Every strike Sheng Xuan made had to be with full force, only then could he pose any threat to the feathers that were tougher than fourth or fifth-Rank exotic treasures on the Black Crowned Golden Eagle.

But it was impossible for him to continue exerting himself fully without eventually exhausting or killing himself.

Yet he couldn't escape.

Sheng Xuan wanted to hunt other alien beasts or Beast Kings, but he couldn't break free; once distracted or turned around, the Black Crowned Golden Eagle would immediately dive onto him, posing a fatal threat.

Even now, despite Sheng Xuan being on full alert with his blade for self-defense, his body, boasting a third-Rank Cross-Refined body, was completely battered.

For the first time since proving Innate Dao, Sheng Xuan felt powerless.

No, no, no!

The second time!

The first was facing 'Big Horn' Yan Chuan!

...

"Beast tide?"

"The heavenly calamity destroyed mountains and burned forests, driving the alien beasts out from the wilderness?"

"Something's wrong!"

"Look at these alien beasts, they're more frenzied, more powerful—"

Yan Chuan and others arrived at Yong Mountain City, witnessing the shocking scene of the beast tide sweeping over the city, with birds in the sky, beasts on the ground, and countless aquatic alien beasts in the water—

Land, air, and sea!

They attacked Yong Mountain City from three dimensions simultaneously!

The refugees outside the city were all reduced to beast fodder, torn apart, with their flesh devoured, and their muscle and bone chewed; blood was everywhere, hell on earth.

Boom!

Boom!

The heavenly and earthly fires continued their rampage, indiscriminately killing refugees and causing massive casualties among the alien beasts, yet the beasts charged forward relentlessly, endless as they were, while the grand formation of Yong Mountain City had to resist both the fires and the beast tide, causing one breach after another to appear—

"Roar, roar, roar!"

Alien beasts broke in, wantonly slaughtering within the city.

Rumble, rumble, rumble!

Occasionally, meteors from the sky coincidentally ripped open cracks and fell in, flames burning—

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Screams of horror and panic filled the city; the 'mortal paradise' of Yong Mountain City instantly becoming a hellish inferno.

With such heavenly calamities, beast tides, and moreover the chaos of human wickedness emerging, Yong Mountain City was too fragile, and Martial Artists were too frail.

Postnatal Realm?

Peak State?

If you have not entered Innate, you are still an ant!

In such disasters, no matter your Limit-breaking, grade of Postnatal layers, or your Seven Realm Absolute Skills, Six True Skills, poor luck spells death.

Tragic, tragic, tragic!

But this wasn't the most tragic; if the beast tide completely breached the grand formation of Yong Mountain City, over a million civilians would perish, and that would be the true hell on earth.

Sheng Xuan despaired!

Fortunately, Yan Chuan arrived!

...

"First, drive back the beast tide!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Yan Chuan made a quick decision to turn from attacking the city to defending it. He swerved left and right, employing the True Skill "Wave Riding Micro Steps", leading the charge into the beast tide—

Moving with unpredictability, seeming perilous yet secure, advancing and halting unforeseeably, seemingly coming and going, this was "Impermanence", excelling in evasion. "Impermanence" inherited Yan Chuan's original Absolute Skill "Wave Riding Micro Steps" at the peak of the Eighth Realm, reaching a pinnacle upon pinnacles, so even among thousands upon thousands of beasts, Yan Chuan could evade with ease.

He dashed into the fray, unleashing alternating streams of sword Qi with both hands—

The Six Viscera as Yin, the Six Internal Organs as Yang, the Ultimate Skill of Sword Qi, substantial yet formless, this was "Six Meridians", inheriting the essence of the "Six Meridian Divine Sword" while also gaining the "Wave Riding Micro Steps" enhancement of growing stronger with movement—
