NovelEnglishTo charge into the Jade-Cleansing Golden Sunset Formation was to face surging golden winds.
These golden winds were akin to the Domain Astral Winds of the Rosecloud Domain, brimming with destructive power.
A spiritual barrier appeared around Tang Jie to hold off the golden winds.
Before heading farther in, he first observed his surroundings.
The Jade-Cleansing Golden Sunset Formation had both formidable external defenses and numerous internal mechanisms. Every location hid potential dangers, and every step had to be considered carefully.
The inside of the formation was littered with corpses, belonging to both the Seven Absolutions Sect and Godhead Palace. There were also signs of various traps having triggered, with sbeing so powerful that even a Violet Palace expert like Tang Jie would have had to be careful around them.
Scorch marks and weapon marks could be seen all around the place as remnants from previous offensives, and as Tang Jie walked through, he felt like he was making his way through an abandoned battlefield.
Suddenly, a black wave rushed toward Tang Jie. Rather than attempting to stop it, Tang Jie hastily retreated, upon which the black wave surged past, melting down all the corpses it passed over and leaving naught but white bones. Even Tang Jie couldn't help but grimace at the corrosiveness of such fluid.
Fortunately, the black wave disappeared, and Tang Jie continued forward, but he made it only a few steps before a bolt of lightning cat him.
This time, Tang Jie attempted to defend against it. The lightning bolt exploded on Tang Jie, and then, seemingly without Tang Jie doing anything, a rock in the distance exploded, and someone tumbled out from behind it, wailing. Before he could react, the wind turned into thousands of blades and swept over him, slicing him into countless neat little pieces.Tang Jie continued, observing the formation as he ventured deeper and deeper in.
He had to seize the golden body before all of its Divine Will was consumed.
He was a formation master, and there was probably no one better at it in the Rosecloud Domain besides Hong Shenji. This plus his Celestial Eye meant that there was basically no trap in the formation that could hide from him. As he strode forward, all opposition in his path was vanquished.
Godhead Palace's current overseers quickly noticed Tang Jie.
There was a small and quiet courtyard located in an unremarkable corner of Godhead Palace, peaceful and unaffected by the flames of war.
Several people were seated in the courtyard. In the center was a beautiful woman as pale as the autumn moon, with a charming and lighthearted demeanor.
In front of this woman was a formation that projected all that was taking place outside. The bitter battle between cultivators, the storm of spell arts going back and forth, and the wavering of the Jade-Cleansing Golden Sunset Formation under the Seven Absolutions Sect's fierce assault were all on display.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe majesty of the golden body had forced the Seven Absolutions Sect to have three Violet Palace True Lords deal with it, giving the Jade-Cleansing Golden Sunset Formation a chance to breathe. The formation masters were braving the spell arts and risking their lives to repair the various nodes, but these efforts were all futile.
The resources and treasures stored within the palace were constantly being used up, and the cultivators were panicking as if it was the end of days. Sof them were even thinking about surrendering, but as Godhead Palace's Violet Palace experts had yet to return, and their influence still weighed on everyone here, they temporarily put those thoughts to the side.
In the middle of this chaotic battle involving more than ten thousand cultivators, the woman noticed a certain scene in the corner of the projection, a minor shift that was barely perceptible.
She looked there and focused her eyes. With a wave of her hand, she magnified the projection.
Upon seeing that figure strolling through the formation, the woman scowled. "Tang Jie!"
All the others around the woman also grimaced. These people were bloodied and wounded and were here to rest, but when they saw that it was Tang Jie, they could no longer sit still.
The nof Tang Jie had left far too deep an impression on Godhead Palace.
Everyone knew that all that Godhead Palace was going through was linked to Tang Jie.
A red-robed bald man glared at Tang Jie's projection. "Tang Jie… Letgo and kill that bastard!"
The woman darkly said, "Tang Jie entered Violet Palace a long tago, and after a hundred years of cultivation, his strength is unfathomable. Fire King Miao, if you go, then this will probably be our last meeting."
The bald man didn't seem to care, saying with a laugh, "If I die, I die. Ming Yekong and Tang Jie have appeared, but the True Lords and Ancestor have yet to return. Basking Moon and Seven Absolutions have pushed our sect to the brink, and while Human King Chu has sent the call for reinforcements, I'm afraid we won't last until the Beast Refining Gate arrives. When the survival of the sect is on the line, what does the life of an individual matter? One death is worth it if it can stop that Tang Jie for a little longer. It's not like we can let him walk around so freely, wrecking the insides of the formation."
The woman, who was none other than Chu Xitong, sighed.
Tang Jie wasn't just anybody. As the finest formation master at Violet Palace, strong in both formations and combat, he could do far more damage to the Jade-Cleansing Golden Sunset Formation than anyone else.
But Chu Xitong felt like something wasn't right.
Tang Jie seemed to be focused not on destruction, but on heading farther into the formation, as if he was trying to pass through it.
Although Tang Jie seemed to be strolling at a casual pace, considering that he was undoing the parts of the formation in his way, he was actually going as fast as he could go. At this pace, he wouldn't need long to pass through the formation.
What was he trying to do, that he was in such a rush?
Chu Xitong didn't understand, and she didn't have the tto think. All she knew was that she had to stop anything her enemy was trying to do. She said to the Fire King, "If that's the case, then I must trouble you, Fire King. I will muster all the power of the formation to assist. Remember that you don't need to fight him to the death, only delay him. I will send another chief to help you."
Fire King Miao laughed and then strode out of the courtyard. After just a few steps, he was in the formation and charging in Tang Jie's direction.
At the stime, Chu Xitong began to issue orders and adjust the formation.
Tang Jie immediately felt the pressure around him increase.
Firstly, the traps in the formation becmore numerous and stronger, and secondly, more and more hidden cultivators began to appear. Although these cultivators' ambushes were helpless against his thought casting, all of these distractions required Tang Jie to be constantly on his guard. Even when his Divine Will was at its maximum, the formation greatly reduced its effects. As the number of encounters rose, Tang Jie began to get annoyed, and his enemies managed to score a few wounds on him.
Each of these wounds represented the life of one or more cultivators.
They used their own lives to stop and impede Tang Jie, making Tang Jie seethe.
At this moment, a powerful pressure suddenly descended.
This was the most powerful energy Tang Jie had sensed since entering the formation, and he immediately realized that Godhead Palace had dispatched a true expert to stop him.
Tang Jie abruptly stopped moving.
A torrent of fire rushed toward him.
With a blink of his eyes, Tang Jie conjured up a wall of air to block the flames, but he found that, rather than subsiding, the flames grew only stronger and stronger, spreading outward. He smiled and asked, "Is this Miao Lieyan (Raging FlMiao), Fire King Miao?"
"Indeed, it is I!" A mighty roar cfrom overhead.
Tang Jie raised his head and saw a red cloud descending.
Tang Jie smirked. "Just you? That won't be enough."
He lightly blew, and the moment the puff of air left his lips, it turned into a hurricane that howled toward the red cloud. But at this moment, a golden wind emerged from the formation, intercepting Tang Jie's hurricane, and Miao Lieyan seized this opportunity to send a frenzied gout of flat Tang Jie.
It was seemingly unwise for an avatar that was only at Infant Tending to ignore the full-force attack of a peak Soul Transformation cultivator, but Tang Jie seemed unafraid. As the flapproached, he opened his mouth, and a firebird flew out, slamming into Fire King Miao's flames. The two flames clashed in an explosion of embers that started fires wherever they landed.
Tang Jie smiled. "Fire King Miao, why don't we see how my Pale Cloud Flcompares to your Soulblaze Demon Flame?"
In his early years, Miao Lieyan had been lucky enough to cacross a divine flknown as the Soulblaze Demon Flame. This was a tyrannical flthat could attack the Divine Soul and burn it away to nothing. Later on, as he grew famous, he changed his nto Lieyan and took on the title of Fire King, all because of this flame.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut a flas strong as Miao Lieyan's Soulblaze Demon Flwas merely a single entry on the list of Tang Jie's lifetachievements.
As the Pale Cloud Flfended off the demon flame, Tang Jie threw out another flame, the Deicide Flame.
Tang Jie was much stronger after reaching Violet Palace, and he had clearly gained better control of the Deicide Flame, finally being able to use it against enemies instead of just for burning bodies.
These two flames appearing together immediately caught Fire King Miao off guard.
Just when Tang Jie was about to finish him, an icy energy wrapped in a bitterly cold wind suddenly blew toward Tang Jie.
Tang Jie was forced to dispel this icy light with a palm blast, and then a crimson bolt shot at the back of his head, which was absorbed by a blood ring that emerged from Tang Jie's body. Just after he blocked these two attacks, a golden wind, two finger blasts, and a phantom whip attacked. But in a flurry of Tang Jie's sleeves, he managed to block them all. Raising his eyebrow, he shouted, "Ice King, Blood King, and the Mountain Yang Marquis!"
Three more people appeared in the formation—three more chiefs of Godhead Palace.
Not only that, two more chiefs appeared in the distance. To deal with Tang Jie, Chu Xitong had mobilized most of the top-class fighting power in the palace. Besides the chiefs, she had also assembled Godhead Palace's secret guard unit, the Blood Knights. All of this was to kill Tang Jie.
Fire and ice danced, weapons flashed, and blood flew.
An epic battle played out within the Jade-Cleansing Golden Sunset Formation.
Six chiefs and more than a hundred Blood Knights—any one of these would have earned the attention of a major character if they had gone outside the formation, but now, they were being used to deal with a single person.
Tang Jie!
Strolling through the ice and fire, he moved his hands here and there, spiritual energy surging and ebbing as he cast spell art after spell art. With a glance, a thought, he could harness the powers of the world to attack his foes and blast apart their formations.
But Godhead Palace continued to send in reinforcements.
These cultivators were like suicide soldiers, lunging at Tang Jie and doing everything they could to hold him down, after which they died to Tang Jie's spell arts.
As for those six chiefs, they were particularly crafty, mixing in with the ordinary cultivators and using them to draw Tang Jie's attacks while they joined hands with the formation to attack him.
This was because the Jade-Cleansing Golden Sunset Formation still represented the greatest threat. With every gust of golden wind, Tang Jie had to focus all of his power on blocking it, at which point the six chiefs seized the opening to attack. This forced Tang Jie to make a choice. He had to choose that which threatened him the least, but completely evading the danger becimpossible. Once their attack succeeded, the six chiefs would immediately withdraw and continue to use the lives of other cultivators to cover for them.
This tactic was essentially trading the lives of ordinary cultivators for a chance to attack him.
Tang Jie couldn't help but admire the resolve and ruthlessness of the person planning this all out.
He had to admit that this fighting style was quite problematic.
