The Ten Suns Brahman Fire Incantation!

It was a powerful fire dao method that brought unparalleled might to bear when based off the Fire of Heaven and Earth. Kong Mengqian’s version summoned only one sun. If she could manage all ten, Peng Yu would be vaporized within a split second.

“The Fire of Heaven and Earth!” Peng Yue’s eyes widened before vicious greed swiftly filled them. “Die!”

He waved the sword radiance filling the sky into one ray and called his weapon back to his hand. The man bit through the tip of his tongue, spitting out blood essence and summoning a flare of sword light that was three hundred meters tall.

“Word Slayer, Break!”

Kaboom!

The sword light bit ruthlessly into the blue sun bearing down on Peng Yue. A massive explosion sounded as the man smashed into the ground and Kong Mengqian’s face drained of blood. She’d just reached latter soul separation and consolidated her cultivation through the fight with Peng Yue. That was how she barely managed to bring the Ten Suns Brahman Fire Incantation to bear.

Lu Yun flew out from his circle of safety beneath the mid dao rank pot and hovered in the air, sending hand seals into the void.

Whoosh!

Three breaths later, everything within five kilometers burst into flames. Roiling heat waves melted nearby rocks and soil into lava, creating streams of lava that ran in all directions.

“The Nineheavens Brahman Formation! How is this possible?!” Peng Yue was finally afraid. He stood a chance of escape with the earlier incantation, but this formation would result in nothing but death.

The Nineheavens Brahman Formation was a ninth rank slaughter formation. He would not escape from it if the formation wasn’t broken.

Lu Yun had surreptitiously inserted the formation disk beneath the ground when he spoke with Gui Xie and quietly set up the formation. It wasn’t until Peng Yue collided with the Ten Suns Brahman Fire Incantation that he activated it.

Peng Yue was a combination cultivator. If Lu Yun operated the formation ahead of time, the man would’ve easily detected the energy ripples from the array. He would’ve made his getaway before the formation was fully active.

And now, the Nineheavens Brahman Formation operated in full.

Lu Yun’s hands flew through hand seals as Hongmeng qi surged out of his body into the formation disk. Hidden in the void, the disk spun furiously while scarlet dragons of Brahman fire ripped through everything they saw.

Riding on his sword, Peng Yue darted left and right, unable to break through no matter what he tried. He couldn’t understand why a horrific ninth rank formation had suddenly appeared here! Thankfully, the cultivator in charge of it was only nascent soul.

If a soul separation powerhouse directed it, he would be ashes long ago.

“Gui Xie, let’s talk! It’s all my fault and I’m willing to pay you reparations. Please spare me!” Peng Yue smashed through a fire dragon that was thirty meters long, but the terrifying fire had already darted into his body. He had no choice but to scream for mercy.

“Spare you? Did you spare me earlier?!” Gui Xie jerked out of his shock.

Lu Yun couldn’t be bothered with Peng Yue. He manifested a lower rank spirit crystal with a flip of his hand and absorbed all of its energy, leaving not a shard behind.

BOOM!

Nine dragons combined into a massive one three hundred meters long while the formation flared with power. It pounced on Peng Yue.

“You can’t kill me! I’m a disciple of Wuxi Mountain! All of Jade Ruins Realm will burn if I die!” Peng Yue shrieked with panic. He might’ve been able to break the formation had he been at full strength, but he was at the end of his rope after fighting Kong Mengqian and enduring the Nineheavens Brahman Formation.

Bam!

Lu Yun didn’t give him a chance; he pointed his fingers and commanded the dragon to swallow the latter combination powerhouse. A gout of Brahman fire incinerated a meter tall nascent soul just as it showed itself.

“Wuxi Mountain…” Kong Mengqian repeated hesitantly. She took out a healing pill from her storage ring and swallowed it.

“Do you know what it is?” Lu Yun dismissed the formation and spent a few moments regaining his footing.

The girl shook her head without an answer.

It looks like this disciple of mine doesn’t listen that well yet. I’ll have to teach her in the future. Lu Yun put the formation disk back in the sword pagoda and took a pill himself. Being mid nascent soul, he’d suffered backlash from forcefully operating the formation. Fire poison was attacking his heart and he slowly refined it within after taking the pill.

He could’ve used connate fire origin against it if the poison wasn’t in his body. But since it was, he didn’t dare conduct fire origin into himself. Slowly refining it was the only way.

When Gui Xie saw that both Lu Yun and Kong Mengqian were deep in meditation to recover, he casually set up a miniature maze formation of the five elements around them. At the same time, he was deeply astonished that a latter combination powerhouse had died to nascent soul and soul separation cultivators. No one would believe this if word got out!

He’d yet to fully digest the effects of Lu Yun’s pill, so he also sat down cross-legged and continued to refine the medicine within.

……

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Three rays of sword light cut through the sky after twenty minutes and stopped where the battle had taken place.

“This… is…” A middle-aged man with a long beard gaped at the intersecting fissures on the ground. “This is the presence of the Nineheavens Brahman Formation. Didn’t a young man in blue take such a formation disk from the Immortal Gazer? Can it be…”

“There’s more than that here, there’s also the lingering presence of a dao weapon… look over there!” A middle-aged man in long red robes pointed at the ground. “Is that the dao weapon??”

“Let’s take a look!” the third man hastily concurred.

Lu Yun left Peng Yue’s lower dao rank flying sword and storage ring on the ground after killing the man. Since he hadn’t been in a hurry to collect it, the three travelers came across it.

“Piss off!” came a cold snort from the void.

The three paused and froze in the air.

“Who is it?!” Long Beard frowned. “Us brothers are the bodyguards of Prince Sui. We would request that you show yourself.”

“Prince Sui? Is that supposed to be something?” Gui Xie harrumphed. “Since you won’t piss off, then you can stay.”

A large hand broke through the void to grab the three.

“A combination powerhouse!” The three panicked and only had time to crush a jade slip before the hand swatted them out of existence.

“Are they really Prince Sui’s bodyguards?” Lu Yun asked slowly as he opened his eyes on the three storage rings that Gui Xie offered up.

Prince Sui was a legendary character in Dark Orchid as well as nearby third and fourth rank empires. He was essentially the faith of the Dark Orchid citizens. It wasn’t the royal family who wielded the greatest authority in the nation, but Prince Sui. Rumor had it that he was the disciple of an immortal!

“They should be.” Gui Xie nodded at the three “Sui” medallions from the storage rings.

“Is this Prince Sui someone important?” Kong Mengqian’s injuries were mostly healed.

“At the very least, he’s someone I can’t offend,” Gui Xie chuckled.

“It looks like he’s nearby, we should go.” Lu Yun rose and turned to Gui Xie. “What are your plans?”

“I was going to destroy the Nineheavens Pagoda first and then head to Darklake to join you.”

“Then come with me,” Lu Yun nodded.

Gui Xie was Empress Myrtlestar’s heir and possessed unbounded potential. He would be a great help and a peerless expert with some pointers.

“Gui Xie thanks the gentleman for your succor!”

……

The northern side of Fallen Leaf Mountain stretched for thousands of kilometers and was off limits to immortals. Lu Yun blithely walked in with Kong Mengqian and Gui Xie because the Hongmeng Tree was asleep. All was even more quiet than before in the formation of illusion.

Having just arrived in Jade Ruins Realm, Kong Mengqian was unfamiliar with the situation.Meanwhile, Gui Xie was a latter combination powerhouse and wasn’t the least bit phased by the forbidden zone.

Instead of heading to the tree, Lu Yun wandered through the formation and picked a few spirit herbs. He stopped only when all of his storage rings were full and a small heap was piled in the sword pagoda. Since there was a lower rank spirit vein inside, he didn’t need to worry about the spirit herbs losing their potency.

Although Lu Yun picked only low ranked spirit herbs, Kong Mengqian conscientiously followed in the young man’s steps. She was familiar with her master’s methods and how he could create nearly immortal fare with some first rank spirit herbs. She never dared underestimate them again.

“Alright, there’s something I must do, so you two go to the Lu Clan in Dark City and wait for me there.” Lu Yun addressed the two after they left the taboo area.

“Then please be careful, sir. Miss Kong and I will return first.” Gui Xie knew how mysterious Lu Yun was, so he didn’t ask further. As reluctant as Kong Mengqian was to obey, she had no choice.

After they left, Lu Yun raised sword light and flew to the south of Fallen Leaf Mountain. His destination was Jade Ice Lake.

The lake had become the mountain’s greatest taboo as a terrifying gray jiao lived inside. No one dared approach within five kilometers of the waters.

Lu Yun didn’t linger after he reached the lake, but plunged straight in. The black snakes of the lake were sentient and recognized Lu Yun. Thus, they didn’t obstruct him. Some even swam by to greet him.

He generously tossed them some of the pills he’d refined and fully won them over to his side. The last time he’d been here, he was golden core. Now he was mid nascent soul and impervious to the arctic temperatures of the water.

He still didn’t see the bottom of the lake after diving two hundred and fifty kilometers, but he saw the gray jiao’s nest.
