Chapter 33: Complete Annihilation

Qu Yi, facing the ten beings from the Upper Realm, declared that he intended to kill them all. Undoubtedly, upon hearing his words, the ten beings showed mocking expressions. The four from the Immortal Realm, the three from the Demon Realm, and the three from the Fiend Realm glared at Qu Yi even more viciously, closing in on him ready to attack. The distance between them was now only a hundred meters.

Yet, the representatives of the Immortal Realm, Demon Realm, and Fiend Realm did not attack Qu Yi first. After all, they were in competition with each other and none wanted to be the first to strike and thus be ambushed by the other two. No one wanted to suffer a disadvantage.

But since those ten were not attacking, Qu Yi would not wait for them. As soon as he made his declaration, five figures appeared beside him. Yes—Qu Yi’s five avatars emerged from his main body. The Golden Avatar, Wooden Avatar, Water Avatar, Fire Avatar, and Earth Avatar immediately teleported to five different locations, forming a circular enclosure around Qu Yi’s main body and surrounding the ten beings from the Upper Realm.

The ten beings were stunned for a moment before sensing danger. They immediately took to the air and attacked Qu Yi at once.

“Six-Directional Heavenly Source Dragon Trapping Formation!”

Suddenly, Qu Yi’s main body shouted. A Star-Stabilizing Stone appeared beneath him and instantly transformed into a hundred-meter-wide sphere that lifted his body upward. At the same time, the five avatars each drew their respective weapons— the Golden Sword, Wind-Controlling Drum, Water-Dividing Pot, Fire-Wandering Silk, and Earth-Diving Shuttle—and began to wave them rapidly at the five focal points of the formation.

At each focal point, the primal energy of the corresponding element surged forth: golden energy from the Golden Sword turned into a golden stream that flew toward the Star-Stabilizing Stone at the core. Wooden energy from the Wind-Controlling Drum formed segments that were transmitted to the stone. Water energy from the Water-Dividing Pot erupted as a blue water dragon that struck the stone. Fire energy, carried by the Fire-Wandering Silk, moved like waves and hit the stone as well. Earth energy was ejected by the Earth-Diving Shuttle, with shuttle-shaped energy strands forming a line that struck the stone as well.

After receiving the primal energies of the five elements, the Star-Stabilizing Stone moved in sync with Qu Yi’s spiritual consciousness and unleashed a defensive spell.

“Starlight Shield!” Qu Yi merely smiled.

Suddenly, a translucent jade-like shield formed on the surface of the Star-Stabilizing Stone, expanding at lightning speed to block the attacks from the ten beings. All ten beings and their respective domains struck the shield at once.

Just as the ten thought they could easily break through the light barrier, they were shocked to find that their once invincible domains held no power at all. The primordial energy they summoned vanished as if it had sunk into the sea or pierced soft fabric, seemingly having been absorbed and dissolved by the light barrier. A domain is a special energy field formed by using primordial power to drive primordial energy. Without primordial energy, a domain cannot be created. The ten from the upper realm, who thought their fatal strike would work, found it utterly ineffective. What angered them even more was that the light barrier blocked their domain attacks and disappeared instantly, leaving the entire space seemingly sealed off—their spiritual senses could not penetrate it, as if they were surrounded by another dimension. This was the special ability of the Star-Stabilizing Stone: it possessed its own unique space, which, in addition to storing energy, could also suppress spiritual senses. With their spiritual senses useless, they could no longer teleport, which was what scared them the most. With their attacks ineffective and no way to escape, the ten finally sensed a dangerous atmosphere. “Qu Yi, how could you have five clones?” Zong Xi shouted angrily, though there was a hint of concern on his face. Now, all ten realized that Qu Yi’s five clones were not puppets but true clones, as their actions earlier showed they each had their own soul consciousness and could freely use primordial energy to attack. “Qu Yi, what kind of formation is this? How can it neutralize our primordial energy?” Yi Xi stared at Qu Yi in horror. The ten’s strength in the cultivation world relied on their domains. Once lost, the only advantage they had over beings at the Great Vehicle stage was their greater amount of primordial energy, as their bodies were pure primordial bodies, unlike those at the Great Vehicle stage who hadn’t fully transformed into such bodies. “Qu Yi, what method did you use to restrict my demon senses?” Jun Wei’s eyes darted rapidly as he shouted in fear. The ten were now inside the formation area. Without spiritual, demonic, or demon senses, they were equivalent to having no teleportation ability, meaning they would have to endure endless attacks from the formation—extremely dangerous. … The ten from the upper realm began to shout anxiously, their eyes fixed on Qu Yi, no longer showing any ferocity but only fear.

Qu Yi listened quietly to the shouts of the ten people, gave them a disdainful glance, and smiled, saying, “You ten bastards, thinking that just because you have a little strength, you can act arrogantly in the cultivation world, bullying the good and tyrannizing the weak, right? When you were strong, you could chase after me. Now that you’re trapped by my formation, endure my wrath.”

Hearing this, the ten people from the upper realm wanted to interject…

But Qu Yi wouldn’t give them a chance. With a movement of his spiritual consciousness, five of his avatars immediately activated their own primordial energy, while Qu Yi himself took out the Chaos Crystal and released Chaos energy swiftly.

Within ten miles of space, everything was covered by the “Six Directions Heavenly Dragon Trapping Formation.” Inside the formation, five clouds formed—created by combining Chaos energy with the primordial energies of the five elements. The golden, cyan, blue, red, and yellow clouds were very prominent.

Inside the golden cloud, two human figures suddenly appeared and descended, attacking Zong Xi and Yi Xi. Both Zong Xi and Yi Xi practiced the golden element cultivation techniques and possessed golden primordial energy, so they were struck by the golden cloud.

Similarly, two human figures emerged from the cyan cloud and attacked Feng Qu and Jun Wei, who practiced the wood element techniques. Two figures from the blue cloud attacked Qi Jia and Qiu Rui, who practiced the water element techniques. Two figures from the red cloud attacked Yan Xuan and Chen Yan, who practiced the fire element techniques. Two figures from the yellow cloud attacked Rong Han and Zhuo Hong, who also practiced the earth element techniques.

“Qu Yi, you bastard! How dare you attack us!”

The ten people from the upper realm shouted in fury, then used their mid-tier immortal weapons to counterattack the incoming figures.

Using their mid-tier immortal weapons to create space attacks, the ten people quickly shattered those ten figures. Yet they were surprised to find that when their own space was used to destroy those figures, it also collapsed immediately.

This was because those ten figures contained Chaos energy. After all, those spaces were created from primordial energy, and Chaos energy could merge with primordial energy, causing the spaces to tear apart and vanish instantly.

“How is this possible!”

“Are there other energies in these figures besides primordial energy?”

“What kind of energy could tear apart my golden element space? Does such energy even exist in the world?”

“It’s too strange. I only sensed primordial energy in those figures, and in small amounts. It’s impossible for it to break our space.” …

The ten people immediately started shouting, looking at Qu Yi on the Star-Stabilizing Stone with even greater fear. Unfortunately, Qu Yi would not give them any answers. The main body and its five avatars once again activated their respective chaotic energy and primordial energy, expanding the multicolored cloud mass to bring down more human-like figures to continuously attack the ten people.

The ten people watched as those human-like figures made of primordial energy rushed at them. Unable to think of any other solution, they could only use their mid-grade immortal weapons to keep smashing these figures. Both sides were constantly depleting their own energy.

Inside the planet, after obtaining the Star-Stabilizing Stone, Qu Yi stayed for ten days, continuously drawing on primordial energy. The five avatars entered the main body, which kept absorbing spiritual energy to generate primordial energy for the avatars to extract, thus amassing a large amount of primordial energy over time.

Therefore, Qu Yi’s purpose in using the “Six-Directional Heavenly Source Dragon Trap” was to trap the ten people from the upper realm and then continuously drain their primordial energy until it was exhausted. After some time, the ten people from the upper realm also understood Qu Yi’s plan.

“Qu Yi, don’t force us! Even if your soul has reached the Mahayana stage, it can’t withstand our soul attacks. If you keep pressing us, we’ll risk destroying our own souls just to kill you,” Zong Xi suddenly shouted. The other nine people nodded in agreement as they defended against the attacks, clearly supporting Zong Xi’s idea.

All ten believed that with their soul strength at the human-immortal level, they could completely shatter Qu Yi’s soul using soul attacks. However, they didn’t dare to use them recklessly, as even the slightest mistake in a soul attack could harm their own souls, making it almost impossible to further improve their soul strength in the future.

Qu Yi merely smiled without responding to the ten people, instead continuing to send down attacks in response.

“Qu Yi, you’re really seeking death!”

At this moment, the ten people from the upper realm were furious. Qu Yi truly left no way for them to survive. Suddenly, soul flowers appeared above their heads, and from these flowers, faint outlines of blossoms emerged, forming various shapes before shooting toward Qu Yi’s head.

Suddenly, Qu Yi’s main body smiled. Above his head, the core of the Soul-Recipient Flower appeared, blocking the attacks from the ten people’s soul spells. Previously, these ten people had already attacked the core with soul spells, and at that time, the battle had ended in a draw.

Now, the Life Core had also absorbed the souls of those ten people, returning to a state of balance. But at this moment, Qu Yi’s true body moved as he flashed over to the side of the ten people in the upper realm. Taking out a divine formula card, he quickly drew it across their waists. The bodies of the ten people were instantly split in two at the waist. The ten people in the upper realm stared in shock at Qu Yi’s true body. Their bodies were made of primordial energy, meaning their physical forms could reassemble by gathering primordial energy as long as their souls remained intact. However, having already used their primordial energy to resist the attacks of human energy, and now losing half of it, they had no strength left to withstand the continuous attacks from human forces. In an instant, the ten people in the upper realm retracted their Soul Flowers and transformed into ten Yuan Ying, attempting to escape using the art of Yuan Dun. But how could Qu Yi give them such a chance? “Xing Luo Ding, expand infinitely!” Qu Yi shouted. Suddenly, the Xing Luo Ding appeared in the air, initially the size of a person, before rapidly growing to tens of thousands of meters in size, covering the entire Liu Fang Tian Yuan Kun Long Formation. The Xing Luo Ding activated its absorption formula, generating an incredibly powerful gravitational force. The ten people in the upper realm tried to use their last remaining primordial energy to escape via Yuan Dun and reassemble their bodies. But with the Xing Luo Ding’s absorbing power, their Yuan Ying could no longer resist and all were drawn into it. Once inside the Xing Luo Ding, the ten people in the upper realm had no way of escaping Qu Yi’s grasp. Episode 9: Power of Faith
