Chapter 262: Blackwater Yin Lightning, Dispose of Them

The sound of their roars grew louder and louder, eventually forming a deafening surge of profound qi that shot up and enveloped the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation. It rapidly coalesced into a shield that was magically supported by the strength of willpower!

Deep within Flowing Water City, Zhang Yuanliu, accompanied by several elders of the Council of Elders, tore through the sky and arrived in the ancestral land of the Zhang Clan. Glancing back at the resplendent radiance stemming from willpower bursting forth from the distant city walls, he sighed lightly and continued quickly towards the location of Zhang Yuexi.

Zhang Yuexi, a Rank 2 Spiritual Root genius born to the Zhang Clan decades ago, was still young and hadn't yet fully matured!

"Supreme Spirit Master, this city-protecting formation seems to have formed a shield fueled by willpower. This is somewhat troublesome," Sun Yangping said from above, looking down at the increasingly sturdy formation.

An ordinary Divine Core stage cultivator summoned a sword Magic Treasure and fiercely carved down upon the visible Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation. However, it only managed to leave a mark, which was soon absorbed and dissipated by the array, healing completely within moments.

Lu Xiuzhu's mind raced, and he quickly devised a plan. He addressed Sun Yangping, who just spoke, and said, "If we have to bother the Supervising Spirit Master for everything, what use are we? This kind of array is commonly used as a city-protecting formation, and it isn’t that powerful. Breaking it won’t be difficult."

Sun Yangping, who revealed a dissatisfied expression, was of the same cultivation level as Lu Xiuzhu. They were both at the peak of the Divine Core stage. However, Sun Yangping came from a medium-sized sect that had already submitted to the alliance, so he lacked the confidence to directly contradict Lu Xiuzhu, who came from the Dawndusk Daoist Sect. He could only coldly snort, his eyes flashing with resentment.

Qin Ming glanced sideways at the disgruntled Sun Yangping, his nose lifting skyward. He stepped forward, smiling at Lu Xiuzhu, "Spirit Master Lu’s cultivation base and breadth of knowledge are truly profound! If we didn’t have a clever method to break the formation and simply relied on using attacks to deplete the formation’s source, the Zhang Clan could continue to survive inside for several days."

Lu Xiuzhu, enjoying Qin Ming's hardly ambiguous praise, glanced at the several peak Divine Core stage cultivators around him and said, "The Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation has extremely strong defensive power, often used atop the primary domains of medium and small forces. It is capable of effectively resisting attacks below the Primordial Lord realm."

Looking up at the white-robed figure standing in the air above them with slightly closed eyes, Lu Xiuzhu continued, "However, this formation has a fatal flaw. Its four formation eyes are fixed and immovable. As long as we locate these four eyes and attack them with full force, the formation will break."

"No need for such complications."

A cool voice entered everyone's ears. For a moment, dozens of Divine Core stage cultivators and over a hundred Dao Foundation stage cultivators all looked up, towards the young man in a white robe, who stood in the air upon the backdrop of the three moons.

In Xu Disheng's eyes swirled a vortex of cyan Spiritual Force, which merged with the Dawndusk Spiritual Essence surrounding him, making the halo radiating from him even more mystical and dazzling.

“Profound Edict Spirit Lightning.”

Within his spiritual sea was a fully formed Divine Core, shadowed by the projection of the Ancient Supreme Bell. As Xu Disheng's words reached their ears, the Spiritual Force within his Divine Core exploded out!

Winds rose, clouds gathered.

At some unknown point in time, dark, stormy clouds had completely enveloped the northern half of the magnificent Flowing Water City. Countless thunderbolts and flashes of lightning crackled within the clouds, emitting threatening rumbling sounds.

Xu Disheng cast a casual glance at the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation, and the densely packed people of the Zhang Clan inside. His slender, pale fingers formed a hand seal, and he uttered, "Second Form, Blackwater Yin Lightning."

With that, the lightning hidden within the dark clouds intensified, crashing towards the Xuanqing Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation!

Hundreds upon thousands of pitch-black thunderbolts tore through the sky. Amidst the surging Spiritual Force around Xu Disheng, the dark clouds gave rise to hundreds more Blackwater Yin Lightning bolts, relentlessly bombarding the double-layered barrier above Flowing Water City!

"How could the power of this lightning be so terrifying?! Just who is this person?!" A Divine Core stage cultivator of the Zhang Clan, beneath the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation, watched the extremely terrifying thunderbolts crash down overhead, unable to suppress the fear in his eyes.

"He must be one of those so-called Supervising Spirit Masters from the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance. Each one is a peerless genius within the Central Region, completely beyond ordinary reasoning," said Zhang Liusheng, a half-step Primordial Spirit stage cultivator, who also did not have the confidence to face the Blackwater Yin Lightning. Concern appeared on his face as he examined the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation, which was now on the verge of collapse,

To fully activate the ancient teleportation array would require several hours of preparation. Originally, with the existence of the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation, coupled with their desperate resistance, it would have been entirely possible for Zhang Yuanliu to take Zhang Yuexi and the others to leave.

But if this formation…

In the midst of his thoughts, an extremely panicked shout suddenly came from a member of the Zhang Clan.

"Patriarch, not good! Look!"

The people of the Zhang Clan all tilted their heads up to look at the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation. At a somewhat weaker area of the array, a crack had appeared. Even though the dual polarity power was trying hard to repair it, the continuous bombardment of Blackwater Yin Lightning only made the crack grow larger!

Finally, under everyone's gazes, the crack completely split open.

Crack.

It wasn’t loud, but the sound was crystal clear to everyone both inside and outside the city-protecting formation.

At that moment, the world seemed to fall into complete silence.

With no protection from the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation, the seemingly endless Blackwater Yin Lightning roared and wreaked havoc, turning the northern half of Flowing Water City into a sea of pitch-black thunder.

Lu Xiuzhu, Sun Yangping, and other Divine Core stage cultivators were dumbstruck, hardly believing their eyes. They looked at Xu Disheng with a newfound respect and fear.

Although they knew that every Supervising Spirit Master was a peerless genius, Xu Disheng's casual lightning spell not only completely broke the willpower-fueled Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation, but also engulfed a half-step Primordial Spirit stage cultivator and several Divine Core stage cultivators in a sea of lightning, leaving them in an unknown state.

In the moment the lightning descended upon them, the densely packed members of the Zhang Clan at the Divine Core stage and lower lost consciousness amidst the cacophony of the Blackwater Yin Lightning.

"Supreme Spirit Master!"

"Supreme Spirit Master!"

Whether it was the few peak Divine Core stage cultivators or the ordinary Divine Core stage cultivators, even the Dao Foundation stage cultivators, all respectfully saluted Xu Disheng, their faces filled with excitement. To temporarily follow such a powerful genius was a matter of pride.

Xu Disheng lightly flicked his sleeves and said, "Lu Xiuzhu, take three Divine Core stage cultivators and twenty Dao Foundation stage cultivators to clean up Flowing Water City. Qin Ming, Sun Yangping, Yan Jin, Zhao Feibai, each of you take three Divine Core stage and twenty Dao Foundation stage cultivators to the other cities of the Zhang Clan."

"Yes, Supreme Spirit Master!"

"Yes, Supreme Spirit Master!"

Everyone excitedly complied, respectfully saluting before counting their numbers and dispersing in radiant beams of light.

Only Lu Xiuzhu, looking at the still churning sea of Blackwater Yin Lightning below, asked, "Supreme Spirit Master, there are over a hundred thousand people of the Zhang Clan in Flowing Water City. How should we deal with them?"

Xu Disheng, unconcerned, replied softly, "Dispose of them according to the rules of the Dawndusk Daoist Alliance."

As Lu Xiuzhu was about to comply, several auras suddenly surged from the sea of lightning below. Zhang Liusheng, shrouded in a halo of earthy yellow light and accompanied by several Divine Core stage cultivators of the Zhang Clan, flew out from amidst the crackling lightning, his face extremely pale.
