With matters having come to this, Mu Xuankong could no longer afford to be wary of the Fulong Immortal Palace. If he didn't use his trump card now, he might very well be defeated by Ye Yun here.
This one-sided battle was still taking place before Ye Yun unleashed his sword intent. If he were to use his ultimate sword intent, the gap would likely widen even further.
As his words fell, the cultivators of the Immortal Palace gathered around the outer perimeter of the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect, as if receiving an order, all unleashed their true essence. Beams of light shot up into the sky.
Mu Xuankong and tens of thousands of cultivators cried out almost simultaneously.
"Heaven and Earth Unity Formation!"
In mere moments, brilliant beams of light converged above, transforming into a magnificent depiction and rapidly solidifying into a black and white formation.
An unparalleled pressure descended from the sky, accompanied by a light where black and white intertwined, forming a beam connecting heaven and earth, which then led to Mu Xuankong.
Instantly, Mu Xuankong's entire body erupted in light. Beneath his ferocious expression, his true essence strength soared!
Sixth level of Dao Construction quickly became seventh level!
Eighth level of Dao Construction!
Ninth level of Dao Construction!
Mu Xuankong's aura surged, causing the faces of the cultivators of the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect to change dramatically. Who could have imagined he possessed such a trump card?
The Heaven and Earth Unity Formation could blend each other's power and be amplified by the power of heaven and earth. It was a top-tier formation that the Xuanming Immortal Palace prided itself on. Its power conversion ratio far surpassed that of the earlier Primordial Chaos Mountain Protection Formation.
To put it bluntly, with this formation in play, Ye Yun was essentially contending with the combined strength of Mu Xuankong and everyone present from the Xuanming Immortal Palace.
"As expected of a Palace Lord. Even in such a predicament, he still possesses such means."
Yu Wenya looked at Mu Xuankong, her eyes filled with shock. That Mu Xuankong could bring tens of thousands of cultivators capable of forming such a grand formation with him demonstrated his extreme caution.
Lan Zhaoyue, however, didn't think so much. Her gaze remained fixed on the extraordinarily powerful Ye Yun, her eyes filled with admiration.
"This guy... actually forced Mu Xuankong into such a corner..."
Compared to before, Mu Xuankong's strength had now elevated by another level. As a result, in the subsequent strike, he actually managed to fight Ye Yun to a draw!
"Ye Yun, Ye Yun, you wanted to fight, didn't you? Come on! Today, I will fight you to the death!"
Mu Xuankong's aura greatly increased. He gazed coldly at Ye Yun, his saber gathering surging true essence, continuously emitting a terrifying pressure.
Once the torrential true essence converged, Mu Xuankong leaped up and swung his saber, unleashing an attack at Ye Yun.
The already fierce battle escalated further, with each subsequent exchange becoming more terrifying.
"No, I need to end this quickly."
After exchanging a blow, Mu Xuankong knew that relying on the formation, if he couldn't defeat Ye Yun in a short time, he would inevitably be worn down to death.
"Forget it, no matter what, I have to take a gamble this time!"
Since there was great risk either way, Mu Xuankong steeled himself and chose the most straightforward and decisive path!
Following another exchange, both figures were sent flying back. During this time, Mu Xuankong flicked his wrist and threw out a black object.
"Senluo Cage!"
Black rays of light instantly transformed into an indestructible cage, locking Ye Yun in place, while he himself fully channeled his true essence into his saber.
He gripped the hilt of his saber tightly, his golden eyes fixed on Ye Yun, and sneered.
"Ye Yun, you are indeed a formidable enemy. I just don't know if you can withstand this saber strike from me!"
Inside the Senluo Cage, Ye Yun smiled without speaking. The idea of using a top-tier magical artifact to trap him and then unleashing a full-power strike for a decisive victory was indeed brilliant.
He could even discern the power of the technique being used, recognizing it as exceptionally extraordinary.
Torrential true essence was continuously fed into the saber, causing the space around him to distort visibly.
"A Heaven-tier advanced true technique at the Great Accomplishment stage, it looks quite impressive."
Ye Yun watched his opponent, even managing a casual compliment. At this level of proficiency, the pure power of a Heaven-tier advanced true technique already surpassed his own Feiyue Sword Art when he first used it.
Coupled with the immense amplification from Mu Xuankong's Heaven and Earth Unity Formation, it would have been a significant threat to him before.
However... that was before. This is now.
Ye Yun flicked his Wind Stream Sword, a playful smile on his face as he looked at Mu Xuankong.
"Since that's the case, I'll use you to test out my newly learned sword move!"
At this moment, Mu Xuankong had gathered a world-shattering momentum. The true essence power circulating throughout heaven and earth was also converging towards him like a whale drinking water!
The sky above had long since lost its light, while a torrent of wind raged across the land. Accompanied by violent spatial tremors, it gave everyone present the illusion that the world was about to be destroyed.
At this moment, everyone gasped in cold air.
"What terrifying move is this old guy going to use?"
"Wasn't it said that the Xuanming Immortal Palace has a Heaven-tier advanced saber technique? Could he be using that move?"
"Hiss, Heaven-tier advanced, that's already considered one of the most top-tier true techniques on the continent! Do you think Elder Ye can block it?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Elder Ye will definitely be fine!"
Although this was the shared thought of the cultivators of the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect, the reality was that, trapped within the Senluo Cage, Ye Yun had no possibility of evasion.
Even if he were to clash head-on, his technique would first be weakened by the Senluo Cage, and he might very well be defeated in the subsequent confrontation.
"Elder Ye! Go for it!"
"Defeat him with all your might! Elder Ye!"
"Elder Ye will win!"
At this moment, many people within the Ancient Dao Heavenly Sect shouted aloud, including Lin Xueyan and the others, their gazes fixed intensely on Ye Yun.
The significance of victory or defeat in this battle had long surpassed the mere act of resolving a crisis. It was about whether Ye Yun could seize this opportunity to completely awe the continent!
Ye Yun, high above, naturally noticed their cheers, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve upwards.
Under the watchful eyes of all, Ye Yun clenched the Wind Stream Sword and let out a soft cry.
"Divine Moon Ascendant!"
One word shook the heavens. With these four words, the very time in that entire region seemed to freeze.
Only countless ice-blue rays of light rapidly converged above Ye Yun's head, forming a supreme silver moon.
The moonlight cast a pure, faint glow. Apart from this, there were no other extraordinary phenomena. Yet, it seemed to contain countless principles of heaven and earth, the resonance of the Great Dao. This was the epitome of simplifying the complex and returning to the original state.
The ice-blue radiance cascaded upon Ye Yun, making him, who stood proudly with his sword, appear like an immortal. The three-foot sword in his hand contained the power of the infinite Great Dao.
At this moment, everyone within and outside the sect stared in stunned silence.
Even Xing Wu, who had maintained a smile in the void, did not notice her teacup falling into the spatial turbulence. Only her eyes, filled with shock, gazed outwards.
"A sword technique from the Heavenly Domain? This kid..."
