The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

The Heavenly Demon Sect's protective formation has been shattered, and it seems there are no other formations blocking their path.

Chu Xiu did not lower his guard. With caution, he unleashed another palm strike, aiming directly at the group of people from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

As expected, when Chu Xiu's palm print entered the area within a thousand meters above the Heavenly Demon Gate,

Beneath the feet of the thousand-foot giant that it had transformed into, countless dazzling purple array lights suddenly rose up, turning into purple flame dragons that devoured the palm print completely.

Then it wrapped around his feet, frantically draining his spiritual power, trying to keep the giant's form in place.

This is a powerful array capable of imprisoning an eighth-level Xuanxian Realm cultivator and restricting their use of spiritual power!

Chu Xiu's gaze turned cold. He spotted a familiar face within the core of this powerful array—

The Dharma King of Uttarakhand!

This person has a background with the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect and is familiar with the Ten Thousand Buddhas True Scripture, the sect's ultimate technique. He even held back when attempting to assassinate Chu Xiu, who was still at the Earth Immortal Realm.

They also offered a helping hand when Chu Xiu was undergoing a trial by heaven and earth.

Therefore, even though he tried to stop him, Chu Xiu remained patient and immediately sent his divine sense carrying a message into the mind of the Northern Kan Dharma King:

"Beikhan! Why are you stopping me?"

"Withdraw your troops within three breaths. Considering that you have helped me many times, and even though you have committed the crime of disregarding human life, I can spare your life!"

Chu Xiu looked down, his cold gaze sweeping over each member of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Here, except for Beikan, everyone else is a dead man!

The King of Uttarakhand did not reply.

He was also well aware that none of the Heavenly Demon Sect members present were innocent.

But he couldn't just let Chu Xiu be consumed by the intent to kill!

"Beikan! Do you know this person?"

The Second Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect suddenly realized that the thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image in front of him suddenly stopped its attack the moment the Northern Kan Dharma King appeared, as if it was communicating with the Northern Kan Dharma King.

"He...is Chu Xiu!"

The Dharma King of Beikan glanced at the Second Elder and spoke slowly.

"Chu Xiu?"

"That Imperial Guard, Chu Xiu?"

"When the Beijing branch reported last time, he was just an ant at the Earth Immortal Realm. Less than half a month has passed, and he can already destroy my sect's protective formation with a single palm strike?"

The Second Elder looked on in disbelief.

"Impossible! There must be a royal retainer backing him up!"

"Is it Nangong Yijian? Or Gai Wushuang?"

The Dharma King of Beikan looked at the thousand-foot-tall Dharma image and sighed, "He's the only one left..."

The Second Elder sneered, and with a flash, he appeared before the thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image once again.

He wasn't stupid. How could anyone in this world possibly spend only half a day to cross the Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal realms from the Earth Immortal realm to the eighth level of the Profound Immortal realm?

The Second Elder believed he had overestimated this person; he absolutely refused to believe that Chu Xiu's true strength was merely at the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm!

Moreover, this person exuded an overwhelming killing intent, strikingly similar to that of the Sword Saint Gai Wushuang…

That's right!

The Dharma form that Chu Xiu transformed into must have been created through Gai Wushuang's illusion. It's nothing but a paper tiger borrowing the tiger's might!

This powerful array is strong enough to imprison even the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm. Even our own Grand Elder would be trapped inside!

The Second Elder firmly believed that with this formation in place, even if Chu Xiu truly possessed the combat power of a Xuanxian Realm expert, he would definitely be trapped here by this peak formation and at the mercy of the experts from the Heavenly Demon Sect!

Therefore, the Second Elder, who had previously been terrified, actually began to spout nonsense in front of Chu Xiu:

"Chu Xiu! Don't be so arrogant!"

"You are trapped in my great formation. Even if you have the strength of the eighth level of the Profound Immortal Realm, you cannot escape this formation!"

The Second Elder specially channeled his spiritual power, shouting the two sentences in a way that was deafening.

The Heavenly Demon Sect members behind him, seeing that the thousand-foot giant was truly trapped by the array light and had not yet broken free, gradually felt more confident and showed expressions of relief.

The rest of the Xuanxian realm and above, who were watching the great battle from afar, sighed helplessly as they saw their thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image trapped by the Heavenly Demon Sect's great formation.

It seems that this person who dared to challenge the Heavenly Demon Sect is nothing special.

King Murong Yu of Qi frowned deeply.

Even though he was a keen student of formations, he couldn't see through this formation.

But he was also well aware of the power of this formation, and Chu Xiu might really not be able to escape!

"Ugh……"

The North Kan Dharma King, who was at the heart of the formation, let out a sigh.

He never imagined he would go to such lengths for this group of madmen from the Heavenly Demon Sect. Was rescuing evil truly in line with his Buddhist principles...?

The fact that Chu Xiu could use his divine sense to give himself three breaths proved that he knew the location of the array's core.

Breaking through this great formation will only take three breaths!

Chu Xiu looked at the Second Elder and the people from the Heavenly Demon Sect as if they were fools.

Within its thousand-foot-tall Dharma body, wisps of invisible spiritual energy mingled with the array light, surging towards the array eye where the Northern Kan Dharma King was located.

In a short time, the Northern Khan clearly sensed that the core of this great formation was gradually collapsing!

"one!"

Chu Xiu spoke coldly.

What are you doing here?

The Second Elder was puzzled.

"two!"

Chu Xiu's tone grew increasingly impatient, and his composure was nothing like that of a dying man imprisoned here!

What is he counting down to?

The second elder looked bewildered, then turned to look at the center of the formation, his pupils suddenly contracting—

At the heart of the formation, the Northern Khan was nowhere to be found; he had vanished without a trace!

"Beikan!"

The Second Elder was greatly alarmed. Before Chu Xiu could utter the last word, he hurriedly reached out and shattered a blood-red token with force.

A dark shadow emerged from the shattered token, gradually expanding before the thousand-foot-tall Dharma image, transforming into a colossal black mist beast with a body exceeding two thousand feet in length. Its blood-red maw opened wide, unleashing a roar that shook the world.

"That's... the guardian beast under the Heavenly Demon Sect's leader!"

A guardian beast of the clan?

Chu Xiu watched coldly. The giant beast's eyes were empty, indicating that the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect had erased its intelligence and made it a slave to be manipulated.

Such colossal beasts are only possessed by the demon race of the Northern Territory.

The Heavenly Demon Sect is indeed colluding with the demon race!

A cold glint flashed in Chu Xiu's eyes. At this moment, he had already used the power of his primordial spirit, which had been enhanced by the Sword Intent of Formlessness, to pierce through all the array's cores and veins.

Break through, in a single breath!

"Break it for me!"

A vast magical power erupted from the feet of the thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image, shattering all the purple dragons that were wrapped around its legs!

With his feet no longer restrained, Chu Xiu was filled with red killing intent, his blood staining the sky. He crushed the Second Elder, who had no time to give orders to the giant beast, along with the formation, with one stomp!

The great formation shattered in response.

The Heavenly Demon Sect's headquarters was trampled into ruins and deep pits spanning several miles by Chu Xiu's kick!

Countless members of the Heavenly Demon Sect were reduced to dust and their souls were annihilated by this kick!

"Breaking through the formation with a single kick... this person's strength is truly astonishing!"

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

A weak figure fled from beneath the Dharma Image's feet.

It was the Second Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect who was nearly trampled to death.

The Second Elder, who was seriously injured and whose cultivation level almost fell out of the Xuanxian realm, was filled with endless regret.

If he had known earlier that Chu Xiu truly possessed such cultivation, he would have had the audacity to stand alone in front of him, only to end up like this!
