The Transcendent Immortal - Chapter 526
Chapter 526 Heartshaking
The ferocious force of the elemental essence of the formation slammed into the space. Many people retreated into the distance, only to see Xiao Chen hovering above the Five Elements Platform and enduring the force of the three formations at the same time. The veins on his face stood out, and his bones felt as if they were about to be crushed.
He was in great pain at the moment, but he did not endure it in vain. In order to withstand the huge power, every inch of his bones and muscles were constantly increasing, and his Mystic Power was becoming purer and purer.
The crowd had long lost it. However, just as they were about to lose their composure, Xiao Chen slowly extended his hand toward the Qian Metal Formation. At this moment, everyone’s expressions changed drastically. “He is still going to draw the fourth formation! He will surely die!”
Everyone cried out in shock as if they were going crazy. They did not believe that anyone could withstand the attacks from the four formations at the same time.
On the other side of the fourth-class zone, the teenagers also became very nervous. Even the face of Chu Qi changed. She had already felt the terrifying power of the Five Elements Platform. If it were her, she would be exterminated as soon as she got close to it.
Beigong Qin’s expression changed as well. He leaped backward and flew a few dozen feet away on his flying sword. Earlier, he could barely hold on to the edge of the Five Elements Platform, but now that Xiao Chen was trying to draw the forces of the four formations at the same time, he could no longer stay on it. Otherwise, he would not be able to withstand the shock of the remaining energy.
At this moment, the veins on Xiao Chen’s face were bulging, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes. Perhaps it was because he did not entirely want the Body Refining Realm, or perhaps it was because those people had scoffed at Shui Yue earlier.
“Uh-ah!”
With a deep bellow, Xiao Chen finally managed to draw the elemental Mystic Power of the Qian Metal Formation over as well. Immediately, the earth quaked and the clouds began rolling across the sky. The Terrifying Mystic Power appeared layer after layer. Even the crowd a thousand feet away could feel the suffocating sensation. They hastily retreated further away.
The Mystic Power made everyone tremble in fear. No one dared to believe that they were looking at this scene with their own eyes. The legends about the two people who could resist the attacks of five formations at the same time in the Cloud Mist Academy were just legends. No one had ever seen it. But now, they saw someone who could withstand four formations at the same time with their own eyes.
At this moment, the four forces of the formations had quickly spread throughout the Mist Mountain. The senior disciples who were cultivating were shocked. Many people immediately took out their flying swords and rushed to the area of the newcomer. When they saw Xiao Chen hanging above the Five Elements Platform, and who was performing the Body Refining Realm with the four formations, they were all shocked.
“Swoosh swoosh!” Two beams of sword radiance landed on a green peak in the back mountain. It was Jiang Qianqian and Yumu Shisan. Following after, another two rays of sword radiance descended. They were Baili Xiaohualuo and another cyan-robed man.
The four of them revealed similar expressions of surprise, when they saw the scene in front of them. Baili Xiaohualuo immediately narrowed his eyes as he spoke in a deep voice, “It’s him…”
After a short moment of surprise, the cyan-robed man showed a slight cynical smile and said slowly, “I have been here for almost ten years, and I have not seen anyone who can do the Body Refining Realm with four of the Five Elements Formation at the same time. But since it is so, why not lead the Li Fire Formation over? Will that not be perfect?”
Jiang Qianqian frowned, thought for a while, and finally said, “He seems to be very afraid of fire, but… but he is particularly proficient in the fire-style magic spell.”
Until now, she still had memories of the Wastelands Sword Tryout, when she was trapped in the terrible fire pillar of the opponent. She still felt that it was terrifying. If it had been a real fight against the enemy, she would have died.
“Oh? Both afraid of fire and yet skilled in fire skills. This is really interesting. In that case…” The cyan-robed man gave an insinuating smile. As he spoke, his finger had already begun to form a seal toward the distant Five Elements Platform.
On the Five Elements Platform, Xiao Chen came under the attack of four formations at the same time, which was the limit of his strength. Even if he was reckless, he still had a sense of propriety. He would never dare to pull the Li Fire Formation over. If the Li Fire Formation was drawn over, it would turn him into ashes.
However, just as he was thinking, the Li Fire Formation suddenly moved, followed by a burst of fire. Xiao Chen was shocked and immediately realized that someone was controlling the Li Fire Formation. However, it was impossible to escape. If he suddenly stopped and left, he would be destroyed by the four forces from the formations.
On top of the mountain, Baili Xiaohualuo was also surprised. He quickly said to the man in cyan beside him, “What are you doing? Stop!”
“Oh? It seems that I can’t stop now,” the man in cyan said, with a smile. He looked relaxed as he spoke. He looked at the Five Elements Platform and seemed to find it very interesting.
On the Five Elements Platform, a few terrifying fire pillars burst from the Li Fire Formation and rushed directly toward Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen was shocked. “Sh*t, I’m in big trouble this time…”
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the five formations were finally induced at the same time. Suddenly, the Mystic Power spread all over the sky, as if the whole Mist Mountain was shaking violently, and the huge strange cloud in the sky seemed to spin wildly.
Terrifying flames engulfed Xiao Chen’s entire body in an instant. On the other side of the fourth-class zone, all the teenagers shouted, “Brother Chen!”
Chu Qi’s expression suddenly changed. She was able to detect that Xiao Chen’s expression had changed at the last moment. He was definitely not the one who had drawn the formation over.
She narrowed her eyes. Chu Qi saw Baili Xiaohualuo and the others on the distant green mountain, and her eyes immediately turned extremely cold.
The crowd nearby was already in a chaotic state. This kind of shocking scene was something they had never seen in their lives. At this moment, the fluctuations of the Mystic Power of the five formations finally made the three Spiritual Masters in the depths of the Mist Mountain, alarmed. They were Perfected Immortal Chongyang, Perfected Immortal Qingxu, and Perfected Immortal Zihui.
The faces of the Three Perfected Immortals changed. “Oh no! Someone induced the five formations at the same time!” Before they finished speaking, the three turned into three beams of light and went over to the newcomer area of the Back Mountain at the same time.
On the Five Elements Platform, the Mystic Power of the five formations was surging. The terrible power seemed to be out to destroy everything nearby. Everyone was stunned. No one believed that Xiao Chen would survive. In the distance, Beigong Qin’s face had already turned pale. Five formations. Someone who was able to withstand the attacks of five formations at the same time. In the past 3,000 years, there were only two people from the Cloud Mist Academy…
The crowd exclaimed. The next moment, a strange scene appeared again. The fire pillars were quickly disappearing. No, they were not disappearing, but being sucked into Xiao Chen’s body.
“What… what’s going on? He can actually absorb the elemental energy of the Li Fire Formation into his body!”
This time, everyone was really going crazy. They saw the most bizarre thing happening. What kind of person was able to absorb the elemental energy of the five formations? And it was the most violent Li Fire Formation! Even the legendary two could only withstand the power of the five formations, right? How could someone absorb the elemental energy into his body!
The dazzling red fire pillars were indeed being sucked into Xiao Chen’s body. However, this was only what everyone saw. In fact, at this moment, a burst of cynical laughter rang in Xiao Chen’s mind. “Li Fire or whatever, it’s my favorite.”
Xiao Chen forced a smile. Fortunately, Li Xie saved him this time. It was the formation spirit of the Flames of the Southern Vermilion Bird, that was absorbing these fire elements. Last time, Xiao Chen used the Sword of the Vermillion Bird to deal with the Corpse Refinery Sect. Later, he did not have time to send the sword back to the Southern Vermilion Valley, so he stored it in the Divine Vessel.
However, since it belonged to Li Xie, he could not take it out like his other weapons and use it casually. Since Li Xie had attached a spirit to the sword, would it not be a breeze for it to absorb these ordinary Li fire?
Therefore, the current situation was that Xiao Chen had only induced four formations. He did not need to bear the power of the Li Fire Formation at all. Moreover, the Mystic Power of the Li Fire Formation would not merge with the other four formations. Otherwise, even if he was not afraid of the fire, he would be reduced to ashes.
Although there was only one Formation difference between the five formations and the four formations, there was a huge difference in their strength. He could not withstand that for the time being.
Moments later, the elemental force that burst from the Li Fire Formation was being absorbed. The fire gradually subsided, and the Mystic Power from the other four formations too. However, Xiao Chen stood in the air, as if nothing had happened.
“Monster! Monster!”
Countless people exclaimed and looked at Xiao Chen as if he was a monster. In the distance, the three Spiritual Masters stood in the air. Perfected Immortal Zihui said, “Fortunately, the five formations were not really induced at the same time. I guess he must have some magic treasure on him. Let’s go back.”
With that, the three Perfected Immortals left silently. The dark, swirling vortex of clouds in the sky also seemed to have calmed down, because the five formations came to a halt. It was as if nothing had happened.
Xiao Chen slowly landed on the ground. Although he was not injured, he had almost run out of True Energy. He could not even return to the fourth district on his flying sword.
“Swoosh!” A figure appeared in a flash. It was Chu Qi. Chu Qi gently held him and whispered, “Senior… Senior Brother, let’s go. Ahem.”
When they reached the edge of the platform, Xiao Chen looked at Beigong Qin, who was not far away and saw that his face had paled and he did not look too good. He smiled faintly and asked, “Are you all right, Junior Brother?”
Beigong Qin squeezed his fingers and said coldly, “What’s the point of having a strong physique? I will wait for the day you will kick me down!”
“Kick you down? I’m sorry, you are 27th in the Earth Ranking. I am not interested in doing that. Help me up, Chu Qi.”
Without saying a word, Chu Qi put her left hand around his waist and her right hand on his arm. With a kick of her feet, she took him to the island in the fourth zone.
“Are you all right, Brother Chen?” The dozens of youngsters led by Qin Tianyu immediately ran up to him. Xiao Chen smiled. “I am fine.”
The crowd was still in a heated discussion for a long time, before they finally left, one after another. This time, Xiao Chen was afraid that he would be well-known in the Cloud Mist Academy. Of course, there would also be people who thought that he had used a magic treasure for the final Li Fire Formation. Although the final strength was indeed very strong, it did not look as if the power of the five formations had been induced at the same time.
At this moment, in the Purple Thunder Pavilion, Lei Yan had used the Transmitting Formation and witnessed everything that had happened. His expression grew even gloomier, as he finally understood what was missing.
At this time, all the other three old men lowered their heads and said nothing. It was a pity that they did not manage to bring Xiao Chen to the Purple Thunder Pavilion. Even ten Beigong Qins were not as good as one Xiao Chen.
Even though they could tell that Xiao Chen did not resist the final Li Fire Formation with his own strength, it was already a one-in-100-year thing, to be able to withstand the refinement of four formations at the same time.
The teal-robed elder lowered his voice and said, “First Elder, what do you think we should do now? This boy is unusual. Could it be…”
Lei Yan’s face was very gloomy. He knew that it was Xiao Chen’s own choice to refuse to come to the Purple Thunder Pavilion that day. At this moment, he was focused and silent, as if he was thinking about something.
