Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Chapter 223

Boom!

A deafening sound erupted, echoing through the entire void, completely shattering the silence of space. The formation shattered like a mirror breaking apart, revealing the hidden world deep within.

Inside, the world looked almost identical to a normal one. The sky was blue, the sun and moon reversed positions, and an endless territory covered with plains, lakes, and mountain ranges. The winding mountains resembled coiled dragons, exuding a majestic aura, as though ready to soar into the heavens.

Palaces, grand as the heavens themselves, sat high above the sky. Countless palaces were densely scattered like stars across a chessboard, resembling constellations in the starry sky.

These palaces emitted faint glows and were connected by invisible lines, forming a cohesive whole, like an awakened true dragon filled with ferocious killing intent. The aura of slaughter that permeated the air sent shivers through everyone.

All of these palaces were part of the formation, linked together to form an incredibly dangerous killing array. This formation was a powerful technique left behind by a supreme being of the past, known as the Celestial Killing Formation. It was left by the second emperor of the True Dragon Clan, created from his lifetime's effort, with boundless and terrifying power.

Once activated, the stars would fall, and the heavens would collapse, like the end of the world, capable of destroying everything in its path. This was also one of the True Dragon Clan's greatest trump cards, second only to their two supreme divine weapons.

With a roar, the Celestial Killing Formation hidden within the original formation was fully activated as the outer formation was torn apart. Along with brilliant divine light, the killing intent surged out like a true dragon stirring the heavens. The ferocious aura was terrifying enough to obliterate souls, and the boundless killing intent flooded the heavens and earth.

The entire sky shook, and the overwhelming killing intent made everyone's scalp tingle and their hearts pound with fear. It felt like they were facing the supreme pressure of an emperor, piercing into the depths of their souls, causing every cell in their bodies to tremble.

Everyone was alarmed, instinctively retreating. Even the mere collision of divine consciousness forced them to retreat far away, fearing even a trace of killing intent that could extinguish their souls. A single strand of killing intent was enough to instill terror in all who beheld it.

"There's actually such a powerful killing formation!"

"The True Dragon Clan has so many trump cards, no wonder they've remained strong for so many years!"

"This is the true foundation, the real trump card!"

"Fortunately, the Immortal Phoenix Clan can't enter. Otherwise, just this killing formation alone would force them to retreat!"

"This must be a killing formation left by an emperor of the past. Its power is boundless, capable of annihilating everything!"

"The aura is too terrifying. Even from a distance, it feels like a deadly threat!"

"No wonder the True Dragon Clan has lasted so long without decline!"

"Perhaps in the entire Nine Heavens Realm, only the Primordial Holy Land can compare to them!"

"If the True Dragon Clan has such a killing formation, the Primordial Holy Land probably won't be an exception!"

"As two of the few hegemonic forces, their foundations are unimaginable!"

The crowd was completely frightened by the killing formation. This was something never recorded in history. Perhaps no one had ever reached this point before, so it was naturally unknown that the True Dragon Clan had such a killing formation.

This was a formation capable of annihilating everything and turning the heavens upside down. No one doubted the power of the formation, especially given the vast distance between them. Even though they were almost a million miles away, they could still feel the terrifying killing intent piercing their souls, filling them with fear.

They couldn't imagine what it would be like to approach it. They didn't dare to think.

The Immortal Phoenix Clan.

"The True Dragon Clan has hidden themselves well! Luckily, we didn't engage them in a full-blown war!" Huang Tian let out a breath, feeling a bit of lingering fear. Fortunately, he had considered the potential cost at the time and didn't fully commit to attacking the True Dragon Clan.

If they had pushed forward at any cost, even if they had broken through the opponent's formation, they would have been unable to resist this killing formation. That was certain. Even if they could withstand it, the Immortal Phoenix Clan would suffer heavy losses, at least half of their forces.

"We should wait a bit longer. The True Dragon Clan has many trump cards, and this might not be their only one. Now is not the best time to act," Huang Tian said gravely.

He had always wanted to strike and use this opportunity to annihilate the True Dragon Clan, eliminating future threats. However, the more time passed, the more frightened he became.

The opponent possessed one of the most powerful physiques, the Primordial Dao Body, and beyond that, could also control time itself. The Time Dao was a supreme path, and attempting to master it was incredibly difficult, something even emperors rarely delved into. Only those blessed by the heavens could barely step into it, and the Primordial Dao Body was one such physique.

In fact, the Primordial Dao Body was the most suitable existence for mastering any Dao. It could command any Dao with ease.

"The sword is not meant to be used like that!" Jiang Chen's expression remained calm as he used his finger as a sword, slashing forward.

A clear sword hum resonated, echoing through the nine heavens and ten earths. The sword light transformed into a long river of countless sword auras, each thread of aura was breathtaking and terrifying. Even the slightest trace of this aura could split the heavens, and seemed powerful enough to annihilate everything.

Before this sword aura, the resplendent starry river dimmed completely. Thunder roared as the killing intent surged, tearing through the sky as if an unstoppable killing god had descended, turning everything in its path into dust.

The void shattered under this sword aura, and the endless killing array wailed in agony.

With a deafening crash, brilliant light engulfed the entire killing formation, turning the boundless darkness into blazing daylight. The blinding light stung their eyes, making it impossible to open them.

In the midst of this attack, the supporting palaces of the formation exploded one by one like firecrackers, and the mighty sound echoed through the skies. As the palaces crumbled, the once grand formation began to shrink, as if it had lost its power. Silence returned, as though time itself had paused.

Everyone was speechless, especially those who had pursued the way of the sword. After witnessing this sword aura, they were completely convinced of its power.

"This sword Dao is what I have long desired!" The Third Ancestor's eyes blazed with excitement and longing.

As a practitioner of the sword, his lifelong goal was to seek the supreme sword Dao. He had already reached the pinnacle of the sword Dao in the Nine Heavens Realm when he sealed his divine source. He had once thought that he had no rivals in the world of swordsmanship, with no one left to chase.

But now, seeing this sword light, he found a new target to pursue.

Mu Jianxue, standing beside him, felt the same way. Her eyes burned with passion. Wasn't this the sword Dao she had always sought after?
