Buzz.
Soon, a mighty force was injected into the formation, bringing it back to stability.
Inside the formation, within a grand hall, many powerful figures of the True Dragon Clan gathered, the atmosphere heavy. No one’s expression looked good.
“The Great Accomplishment Physique truly lives up to its reputation! Just a few words were enough to shake the ancestral formation!” A towering middle-aged man, his face somber, spoke in a deep voice.
Only those controlling the formation could truly feel the immense power of the Great Physique. Without using any supernatural abilities, mere words had shaken the Great Emperor Formation.
If not for the revival of the Emperor Weapon that injected power into it, the formation would have been torn apart. This kind of power far exceeded their expectations.
“Prepare for the worst. Inform the Emperor’s son that a Great Physique is attacking. The Emperor’s formation may not hold for long, and we will need the Emperor’s son to emerge and confront the Great Physique!” The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
He was Ao Shan, the current clan leader of the True Dragon Clan. The “Emperor’s son” he spoke of was the most important figure in the clan—a descendant of a former Great Emperor.
Back then, after obtaining a secret technique, the True Dragon Clan had plotted for ten thousand years with the goal of having this Emperor’s son recreate the glory of the True Dragon Great Emperor.
Now, their plan had reached its final step. The bloodline within him had fully transformed into pure True Dragon blood, without a single impurity. However, his cultivation had not yet reached the required level, still short of reaching the Great Emperor realm.
They needed more time, but now, time was something they no longer had. With the Great Physique attacking, they could no longer continue their planning. The Emperor’s son had to be brought forth.
“Clan leader, if we do this, our ten-thousand-year plan will be ruined!” A hesitant elder said in a low voice. If their plan was interrupted, it would mean they could not continue grooming the Emperor’s son in the future.
“What do you mean? Even if it is interrupted, it can be resumed later! Besides, if we cannot defeat the Great Physique, do you think the Emperor’s son will have another chance to continue? The enemy will not give him that opportunity!”
“From now on, we can only fight with all our strength. If we can hold them off, that would be ideal. If not, we must release the Emperor’s son!” Ao Shan, too, wished to continue their plan.
However, the situation was clear, and they had no choice but to make a decision.
At that moment, in a deep part of the True Dragon Realm, an area resembling a vast network of veins hung from the sky...
In a deep, secluded part of the True Dragon Realm, something resembling blood vessels hung from the sky. At the lowest point, a young man full of vigor sat with his eyes closed.
His handsome face and powerful aura made him appear like a supreme ruler overlooking the world.
“I understand!”
“Tell Ao Shan that if they truly cannot hold off the enemy, I will personally intervene! I will kill the Great Physique and show the world that the True Dragon Clan has returned!”
The cold, indifferent voice echoed, though the young man remained as still as a statue. It was his divine soul transmitting the sound.
“Destroy our clan? When has our clan ever provoked you to warrant such action? We have never heard of offending a Great Physique!”
In an attempt to buy time for the Emperor’s son, the True Dragon Clan didn’t display anger but instead engaged in conversation with the Great Physique—an extremely rare occurrence.
In the past, the True Dragon Clan would have acted directly without hesitation, no matter who the opponent was.
“The True Dragon Clan has dominated the Nine Heavens Realm for so many years. Whether you’ve provoked someone or not, I’m sure you don’t even remember.” The indifferent voice rang out again, carrying immense pressure that made everyone shudder.
The force was so overwhelming that the formation trembled continuously. If not for the power injected into it, the formation might have collapsed entirely.
However, those words caused the True Dragon Clan to fall silent, for the statement was true. The clan had provoked too many people over the years, and only the top-tier forces were worth remembering; the rest weren’t even worth their notice.
Naturally, they didn’t know who their enemy was this time.
Nevertheless, in an effort to stall further, the True Dragon Clan responded, “If we have offended you in the past, we ask for your forgiveness.”
This response shocked the various factions, as if they had heard something unbelievable. The True Dragon Clan had just admitted fault. Such a thing was unprecedented.
Given their usual way of handling matters, they wouldn’t have given anyone face, much less apologized. Even if they were in the wrong, the clan’s arrogance wouldn’t allow them to admit it. They would mock others for their weakness instead.
Yet, everything had changed now.
“It seems strength is the ultimate key. Only overwhelming power can make even the True Dragon Clan submit!”
“Is this really the True Dragon Clan? Why are they so different from the stories passed down by the elders?”
“Could it be that the True Dragon Clan is actually afraid?”
“This is too strange! Why would the True Dragon Clan surrender?”
“That Great Physique is truly terrifying, to make even the True Dragon Clan back down!”
The crowd was in shock, unable to understand why the True Dragon Clan would behave this way. Yet, some among them sensed something odd. It felt as if the True Dragon Clan was merely stalling for time, rather than genuinely fearing their opponent.
At that moment, Jiang Chen ignored their words, releasing the full aura of his Primal Dao Physique. His energy surged like a boundless ocean, sweeping in all directions, exuding the dominance of a ruler who commanded the world.
With a low shout, Jiang Chen’s blood and energy boiled, and the laws of the Primal Dao Physique erupted from him. It was as if the very principles of the universe bent to his will.
Crack.
The Great Emperor Formation, unable to withstand the force of Jiang Chen’s Dao, began to tremble and crack apart.
“Break!” In the next instant, Jiang Chen extended a hand, and a vast pressure surged forth.
His hand, covering the sky like a divine judgment, tore through the Great Emperor Formation as if it were paper. The formation, which resembled a turtle’s shell, was forcefully ripped open by Jiang Chen’s might.
“Kill!”
Boom!
A terrifying aura erupted from within the Great Emperor Formation. In an instant, the fragile formation transformed into a supreme killing array, unleashing a torrent of destructive energy aimed at obliterating everything in its path.
“Petty tricks!” Jiang Chen scoffed. He didn’t use any grand divine techniques or flashy techniques, only a simple, unadorned fist. His massive fist, seemingly ordinary, struck the formation with overwhelming force.
In an instant, the immense fist pierced through the killing array, tearing the Great Emperor Formation apart with an unimaginable power. The deadly energies of the formation burst forth but couldn’t leave a mark on him, as though they had collided with divine gold.
Before long, the entire formation collapsed, revealing the world hidden within.
Upon witnessing this scene, everyone’s hearts trembled with shock, even Ao Shan was no exception. They had believed the Great Emperor Formation could stall Jiang Chen for a while, but it proved utterly ineffective, like a piece of paper torn apart in an instant.
“So this is the power of a Great Physique?”
“This is terrifying! Even the Great Emperor Formation couldn’t stop him!”
“The Immortal Phoenix Clan once used countless means, even activating an Emperor Weapon, but couldn’t threaten the formation. Now, a Great Physique shattered it with a single punch?”
“The difference in power is staggering!”
“No wonder it’s said that in an era without a Great Emperor, a Great Physique reigns supreme!”
“This power is too terrifying!”
“The True Dragon Clan must be filled with regret!”
Everyone was left speechless, including the strongest among them. They had expected the formation to hold for a while, but who could have predicted it would be shattered with one punch? This was the true power of a Great Physique.
