"No need for such animosity, everyone. We are here for the same purpose – to seize the treasures. Although they are demons, they have no deep-seated grudges with you. Why be so hostile?" Qi Mozi said, noticing the tense atmosphere between the two sides.

"Hmph! Those not of my kind are sure to have different intentions. These demons wreaked havoc on the immortal realm in the past and have been suppressed here for millions of years. Do you think we'll believe they don't harbor resentment and want to devour us?" Lei Yuce sneered.

"Then what does Daoist Lei suggest? Should we have a deadly battle here first, until only one side remains? The dead will naturally be out of the running for the treasure. As for the survivors, how confident are they in passing through this Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation? Oh... almost forgot, Daoist Lei, who comes from the Heaven-Reaching Sword Sect, can naturally do it." Qi Mozi said with a smile.

Lei Yuce's expression changed, his heart filled with anger. Qi Mozi's words were treacherous and aimed to sow discord.

As expected, Jiao San and the others began to hesitate upon hearing this.

"Everyone, don't listen to his one-sided story. Demons' hearts are as treacherous as ghosts. They cannot be trusted..." Wen Zhong reminded with a frown.

"Hehe, when it comes to treachery and ferocity, aren't you humans even better?" The White Bone Demon sneered in response.

"Second Brother, I've said it before, there's no point talking to them. It's easier to just attack, isn't it?" The Copper Lion Demon said impatiently.

The Blood Hand Demon and the Turtle Back Demon on the side looked a little uneasy, but neither of them spoke.

The Eagle Nose Demon also remained silent, merely glancing sideways at the Copper Lion, who immediately shrunk his neck and fell silent.

The White Bone Demon nodded slightly, also refraining from further comment.

"Daoist Lei, forgive me for saying too much, but while we're arguing about whether to fight or not, someone is already breaking through the formation. If they get there first, not only will we not get a share of the treasures in the hall, but also the old demon inside..." At this moment, Xiong Shan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Upon hearing this, Lei Yuce's heart skipped a beat. Almost everyone had gathered here, so the identity of the person in the formation was obvious.

If someone else had entered the formation, Lei Yuce wouldn't be too worried. However, the person inside was most likely Han Li. He had never been able to see through that guy's strange abilities, so he couldn't help but be concerned.

Most importantly, the Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation diagram absolutely could not fall into his hands.

"Forget it, what you said makes sense. I can't refute it. Before entering the hall, let's temporarily put aside our differences and work together to break the formation, shall we?" Lei Yuce sighed.

Qi Mozi glanced at the Eagle Nose Demon, seemingly asking for his opinion.

"It's up to you to decide, Daoist." The Eagle Nose Demon nodded.

"We have no objection. It's up to you," Qi Mozi said.

Hearing this, Lei Yuce turned to look at Jiao San and the others, who all nodded in agreement.

"To show my sincerity, I have ordered all my subordinates to stay away from here. I hope Daoist Lei can also show some sincerity," Qi Mozi said to Lei Yuce.

"What do you mean, Daoist?" Lei Yuce asked, feigning ignorance.

"This Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation comes from your Heaven-Reaching Sword Sect. Don't you have any methods to break it?" Qi Mozi said coldly.

"You may not know this, but the complete formation method of this sword formation has long been lost in our sect. The sword formations preserved within the sect have undergone changes over the years and are no longer the original form. As for how to break the formation, I can only know after entering it," Lei Yuce said with a sigh.

Qi Mozi raised an eyebrow, clearly not believing his words.

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. You can try to break the formation first, and we won't stop you," Lei Yuce said, spreading his hands, seemingly helpless.

"Forget it. In that case, let's enter the formation together. I believe that once we're inside, you won't be able to hold back from exerting your full strength to break the formation," Qi Mozi said with a smile.

"That's natural. Once we enter the formation and investigate the changes and mysteries of this sword formation, I will naturally be confident in breaking it," Lei Yuce nodded.

After settling on the plan, the group split into two teams, standing in front of the sword formation.

"Everyone, after entering the formation later, remember not to move around arbitrarily. The more you move, the stronger the sword formation's attacks will be. You can first try to break a formation node," Lei Yuce suddenly transmitted his voice to Jiao San and the others.

"Thank you for the reminder," everyone responded in their minds, their expressions unchanged.

Qi Mozi glanced at them, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, and then shouted:

"Enter the formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone moved and entered the sword formation.

"Stick close to me..."

Just before entering the formation, Lei Yuce suddenly grabbed Su Anxi's soft hand and entered with her.

Su Anxi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt a slight warmth on her cheeks.

As soon as everyone entered the sword formation, their bodies, which had been flying in mid-air, suddenly sank, as if they had been suddenly pressed down by an invisible force, and they all fell to the ground.

Before they could figure out what was happening, they were surrounded by chaos.

"Rumble..."

Everyone heard a huge, thunderous sound. The surrounding world was tumbling, and all they could see were patches of dim yellow light. Above their heads was a layer of dark yellow, chaotic clouds, and they couldn't see anything clearly.

Su Anxi and Lei Yuce were together and could only see each other after entering the formation. They couldn't see or sense where the others were.

However, the gravity between heaven and earth seemed to have increased tenfold, making them feel as if they were carrying a huge mountain on their backs just standing there. They quickly circulated the supernatural powers in their bodies to resist the force.

Not far from them on the ground, they could see a yellow beam of light twisting and rising like a dragon, directly into the chaotic clouds. A stone sword, flickering with dim yellow light, was diagonally inserted into the beam of light.

"It seems that this formation is based on the power of earth attribute laws. It won't be easy to break," Lei Yuce said after examining the changes around him.

"Earth attribute laws as the foundation... what does that mean?" Su Anxi asked in confusion.

"The Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation uses sword formations to connect to all laws. It has no attributes of its own. Only because the flying swords used to set up the formation contain different laws can different formation phenomena be produced, and the attacks formed will be completely different. This is one of the reasons why I said that I can only know how to break the formation after entering it," Lei Yuce explained quickly.

"If that's the case, how can this formation be broken?" Su Anxi asked quickly.

"Sword formations should be controlled by cultivators to operate freely. This sword formation is naturally not driven by cultivators. The reason why it can still have such phenomena is probably because it uses the Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation diagram as a hub. The fastest way to break this formation is to find the diagram. Once the diagram is moved, the sword formation will be difficult to operate," Lei Yuce said after a moment of contemplation.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a muffled sound from above.

"Boom!"

A dull sound, as if suppressed to the extreme, came from the yellow clouds in the sky.

Lei Yuce and Su Anxi looked up subconsciously and saw that a majestic heavenly gate, which they didn't know how it had been transformed, stood in the depths of the heavy clouds. The dark yellow gate was half-closed, revealing a narrow gap in the middle.

Through the gap, they could see a huge yellow vortex inside, from which waves of earth attribute law power that made people palpitate were transmitted.

Just as Su Anxi was about to speak, the vortex in the heavenly gate flashed frequently. Then, sections of dim yellow light shot out from the gap in the gate, smashing down in all directions.

After these lights shot out, they immediately condensed into yellow giant swords dozens of feet in size, flickering with dim yellow light all over their bodies, and smashed down towards all parts of the sword formation.

"Boom boom boom!"

Two of the giant swords fell towards Lei Yuce and Su Anxi. Before they even arrived, a suffocating sense of oppression rolled in from high in the sky, as if pressing down all the air above their heads.

"Fairy Su, be careful..."

After Lei Yuce reminded her, he quickly stood in front of her, raised his hands high, and supported upward in a posture of holding up the sky.

His whole body flickered with light, and a circular rune dozens of feet in radius suddenly appeared under his feet. Golden light shone brightly inside, and huge virtual sword shadows, like bamboo shoots after rain, constantly emerged, then rose from the ground and went straight into the sky.

Only a series of huge rumbling sounds continued to be heard. These sword shadows that arose from the ground collided with the two giant swords in the sky and shattered one after another.

The two giant swords continued to fall in a nearly crushing manner. The two people under the sword were like welcoming the suppression of an ancient divine mountain. The sense of oppression was no longer what Mount Tai could describe.

Seeing the virtual sword shadows constantly shattering, the surprised look in Lei Yuce's eyes deepened, and he couldn't help but mutter:

"Is this the power of the real Heaven-Reaching Sword Formation?"

At this moment, a flash of blue light suddenly appeared beside him, and a layer of water attribute law power immediately rippled out.

Su Anxi was enveloped in a layer of blue light, her hands clasped in front of her, and a dragon-eye-sized round bead was held in her palm, from which gurgling blue spring water was surging out, moving around her slender jade hand.

Su Anxi's eyes were slightly closed, her long eyelashes were slightly upturned, and her whole person was bathed in hazy blue light, making her look even more otherworldly. Even the Moon Palace Fairy might not be as moving as she was at this moment.

Only hearing her chant softly, she suddenly opened her eyes and waved her hand towards the sky.

"Whirr!"

A wave of water sounded loudly. The blue spring water that had been wrapped around her hand suddenly rose into the sky and suddenly swelled in mid-air, turning into a shocking wave and slapped towards the two giant swords in the sky.

The two giant swords were impacted by the flood, and their downward trend suddenly slowed down, but they did not disappear because of it, and still slowly crushed down.
