Chapter 98: The Power Against Heaven

Chen Ansheng stood calmly, completely disregarding the various gazes and mocking words directed at him.

Gu Jue transmitted a message: “Junior Brother Chen, your realm is the lowest. When the battle begins, I’m sure Zhu Min will treat you as a weakness, so you must be the core of the formation!”

Indeed, Chen Ansheng’s realm was somewhat low, but as long as he could serve as the core, with the enhancement of the laws of the Heavenly Sword System, he would merge the realms and abilities of the other eleven participants, ensuring he wouldn’t be crushed as a weakness.

Yao Jianyuan also transmitted: “Junior Brother Chen, once you become the core, you will take on the main offensive task and need to face Zhu Min directly. You must be fully alert and not slack off in the slightest!”

Chen Ansheng had practiced the Twelve Absolute Immortal Sword Formation, so he was well aware of this.

In simple terms, with him as the core, he would rely on the other eleven and the power of the sword laws to battle Zhu Min.

In the next moment, a barrier was formed, isolating both sides of the battle from the outside world. A great battle was about to commence.

Beneath the heavens, Zhong Li concealed himself among the crowd, constantly paying attention to the situation above. If Chen Ansheng encountered life-threatening danger, he would strike down Zhu Min without hesitation.

“You ants, taste my palm!”

Boom!

Zhu Min erupted.

The power of the Mystic Immortal gathered in his palm, causing the space to tremble.

“Junior Brothers, form the array!”

Clang, clang, clang…

At that very moment, Chen Ansheng and the others immediately activated the formation. They transformed into twelve immortal swords and maneuvered in an intricate manner in the air.

The laws of the sword suddenly descended and continuously enhanced their power.

“Ah, what kind of formation is this?”

“The aura of the sword laws is terrifying!”

“No wonder Yao Jianyuan dares to challenge Zhu Min—he must have some astonishing means!”

The power of those twelve immortal swords surged, truly shocking everyone.

“Be careful, Young Master! This sword formation actually invokes the laws of the sword; we must not be careless!” The old man outside the barrier felt the overwhelming sword intent and couldn’t help but warn.

“They’re just immortal ants. Even if they form a formation, how could they be my match!” Zhu Min dismissed the sword formation, “Break it for me!”

With a loud roar, Zhu Min pressed down with his palm!

His family’s ultimate technique, the Dark Destruction Palm, could also invoke some aspects of the laws.

A massive palm imprint, composed of countless small fiery blades, descended upon Chen Ansheng and the others.

“Wusheng Jilu Sword, go!”

At that moment, Chen Ansheng had inherited the combat power of everyone, and with the enhancement of the sword laws, his strength had soared once again.

The first sword lashed out, a dark red sword shadow shooting toward the palm shadow.

“Bang…”

Blood light burst forth, piercing the heavens.

The disciples from various caves outside the barrier were shocked by this overwhelming force, instinctively retreating a bit.

“Good! These little brats can actually unleash the full power of the sword formation, their strength is on par with early Mystic Immortals. Hahaha!” Yao Qingtian felt the overwhelming sword intent and was filled with excitement.

“This sword formation is truly remarkable.” Mo Wu, standing nearby, nodded in secret and expressed his admiration.

Back on the battlefield, the attacks from both sides clashed, sending immortal force and sword intent erupting in all directions, creating a storm of sword intent.

Zhu Min’s heart sank, and he hurriedly summoned a defense.

Bang…

The continuous sword intent crashed against his defenses, forcing him to retreat repeatedly while feeling a suffocating pain in his chest.

If it weren’t for his strong Mystic Immortal body and the protective armor, he would have been shattered.

On Chen Ansheng’s side, having transformed into a sword, his attacking power was significantly boosted, and his defense had reached an unparalleled level beyond true immortality.

However, there was one drawback!

That was, Chen Ansheng had to exert a tremendous amount of vital energy to maintain this state.

If the flow of vital energy was insufficient, he could suffer a backlash from the sword laws and explode.

“Junior Brother Chen, can you hold on?”

During the first exchange, Yao Jianyuan and the others could sense the pressure on Chen Ansheng, leading them to worry.

“Don’t worry, Senior Brothers, I can hang on!”

Chen Ansheng had just experienced a significant tremor in his internal organs, but fortunately, his mental strength was powerful, and he had a strong ability to endure pain; such minor injuries wouldn’t affect his performance.

“Great! Let’s all exert our vital energy; with the next sword, we will surely defeat him!”

“The eldest brother is right. If we get entangled, the situation will be extremely disadvantageous for us. We must unleash all our strength for a decisive victory!”

“Junior Brother Chen, we are about to unleash our full strength; look for the right moment to strike!”

Immediately after, Gu Jue, Yao Jianyuan, and the others utilized the sword laws to unleash their full cultivation, channeling everything into Chen Ansheng.

Chen Ansheng felt himself growing stronger at a terrifying speed, but the consequence was that his immaculate sword body was on the verge of being overwhelmed by the violent sword intent.

“Huff… If my physique hadn’t reached the mid-grade of the mystic class, I would have been blown apart long ago.”

With gritted teeth, Chen Ansheng held on, preparing for a strike.

On the opposite side, Zhu Min had begun to recover.

He finally understood that he had underestimated the power of the sword formation. If he didn’t go all out, he might end up defeated today.

Losing to peers of the same realm could be excused, but losing to a few true immortals would leave Zhu Min with a mark of shame, preventing him from holding his head high among his contemporaries for the rest of his life.

“Mirror Image Divine Fist!”

With that thought, Zhu Min dared not hold back any longer. While preparing his defense, he forcefully unleashed a forbidden ultimate technique he had not yet mastered.

In an instant, the sky was filled with glass-colored fist shadows, each one carrying the power to shatter space!

“Kill!”

Simultaneously, Zhu Min transformed himself into a glass-like figure and multiplied into hundreds.

“Not good, this guy actually has the Mirror Image Divine Skill, creating hundreds of indistinguishable doppelgangers!”

“Everyone, quickly use your mental energy to lock on; otherwise, even if we exhaust our strength, we won’t hurt him!”

Boom, boom, boom…

Fist shadows descended, shaking the void.

Chen Ansheng’s prepared strike suddenly lost its target.

“I must find his true body!”

Chen Ansheng was not flustered. His mental energy surged wildly, covering the battlefield in an instant.

“Hmph, thankfully my mental strength is strong; otherwise, I would have fallen this time!”

In less than a breath, Chen Ansheng’s mental energy locked onto Zhu Min’s fluctuating aura.

Why?

Because Zhu Min’s mirror images couldn’t replicate his true anger.

“Kill for me!”

With a loud roar, Chen Ansheng’s eleven swords unleashed a brilliant celestial light.

He himself, cloaked in a layer of dark red brilliance, charged toward one of the glass figures.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

Countless fist shadows struck against Chen Ansheng’s sword body, but unfortunately, they failed to break through the sword law defenses on his surface.

“How powerful!”

“Did you see that? The sword shadow Chen Ansheng transformed into actually pierced through space!”

“With such a sword, his power is not weaker than any early Mystic Immortal, Zhu Min is in danger.”

“Sword cultivators are indeed formidable. They could forge such a heaven-defying sword formation; they are truly not to be trifled with.”

The crowd, shaken by the terrifying sword intent, began fervently discussing among themselves. Meanwhile, the people from Qian Yue Cave looked rather grim, especially Nan Gong Xiu with disheveled hair and a haggard face, who was so angry that her teeth were nearly ground to dust.
