Chapter 1868: Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation

Rumble…

The earth trembled, shocking the entire world.

In the Law Enforcement Hall, chaos had already erupted.

"What's happening now? It feels like… the end of the world?" Fang Tian's face was grim, a sense of foreboding lingering in his heart.

Now, as the Controller, Fang Tian had complete knowledge of everything in the Immortal Forest World.

Just moments ago, a force as primal as the ancient wilderness had abruptly intruded into the Immortal Forest World.

That force made even him, the Controller, feel a chill in his heart.

Tian Li, Lu Linfeng, Teng Yun, and other powerful figures naturally sensed this terrifying aura as well and came to find him.

"Old Fang, what's happening?"

"Why does our Immortal Forest World suffer so many calamities? Alas!"

Everyone spoke at once, some complaining, some resigned, but most were terrified.

Fang Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head. "I… don't know what's happening either. I can sense that this aura is very similar to that of the Locking World Gate, but it's coming from the direction of the Godfall Mountain Range. My perception… cannot reach that far."

Everyone's expression changed. Even Fang Tian, the Controller, couldn't perceive it—this matter was certainly serious.

Just then, a figure appeared out of thin air, his expression solemn.

"Everyone!"

Seeing who it was, joy surged across all their faces!

Indeed, whenever the Immortal Forest World faced danger, Ye Yuan always appeared.

"Ye Yuan, it's great that you're back! Something seems to have happened at the Godfall Mountain Range…"

Fang Tian spoke halfway, but Ye Yuan interrupted him. "Senior Fang Tian, I just entered the Immortal Forest World from there! This time, things are not so simple. A large number of Tongtian Realm experts have entered the Immortal Forest World, and it may cause the world to collapse!"

Hearing this, everyone's faces turned ashen.

They hadn't expected the situation to be so dire.

"Ye Yuan, what… what exactly is going on?" Fang Tian's face changed color.

Ye Yuan shook his head. "I don't know either! But I'm certain that this is a trap set by the Immortal Forest Heavenly Lord. What his purpose is, I cannot fathom. This matter is beyond my control. Senior Fang Tian, what you need to do next is stabilize the Immortal Forest World! From now on, no one is allowed to enter the Godfall Mountain Range. Rest assured, unless I die, I will not let the Immortal Forest World shatter! Enough said, I must leave now. Remember, do not enter the Godfall Mountain Range under any circumstances!"

With that, Ye Yuan's figure vanished again before their eyes.

Everyone's faces were grave; they could feel the pressure from Ye Yuan.

In the past, Ye Yuan had always been calm and composed, but this time seemed unusual.

Since the demon race crisis, they hadn't seen Ye Yuan so tense.

Even the powerful Tiannie Evil God had been toyed with in Ye Yuan's hands.

With a flicker, Ye Yuan returned to the Godfall Mountain Range.

But his expression grew even darker!

The towering Kunwu Divine Tree was nowhere to be seen.

"Senior, Senior Kunwu, he…"

Wuchen shook his head. "I don't know either! By then, I had already fallen into slumber. I am unaware of what happened between him and Immortal Forest."

Ye Yuan's brow furrowed even tighter. He couldn't fathom what the Immortal Forest Heavenly Lord was up to, luring so many experts to his own lair.

Especially now that the Kunwu Divine Tree, which had stood for eons, had also disappeared!

Ye Yuan said grimly, "I feel that this matter is not so simple. Enough, let's take it one step at a time. I only hope that the Immortal Forest Heavenly Lord doesn't gamble with his own small world!"

With that, Ye Yuan's figure moved again and vanished.

…

"The Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation! It has nine levels of difficulty. Those who pass the third level may enter the next peak; those who pass the sixth level will be rewarded with a True Divine Mystic Treasure; those who pass the ninth level will be rewarded with a Heavenly Lord Spiritual Treasure!"

On a peak, the voice of the Immortal Forest Heavenly Lord rang out again.

Ahead, a massive sword formation stood before the assembled experts.

By now, everyone could see that on the highest peak in the distance, there was a huge palace exuding a heart-stopping aura.

Anyone could guess that the true treasures were likely inside that palace.

Nevertheless, the words of the Immortal Forest Heavenly Lord drove the experts wild with excitement.

A Heavenly Lord Spiritual Treasure!

That was something that could drive even Heavenly Lord-level experts mad, and now it was right before their eyes!

But they also knew that passing the ninth level was nearly impossible.

However, if they could pass the sixth level and obtain a True Divine Mystic Treasure, that would be quite good.

Not every True Divine expert possessed a True Divine Mystic Treasure.

Such items were rare and hard to come by.

"I'll go first!" A martial artist at the ninth level of the Heavenly God realm couldn't resist and charged into the formation.

No one stopped him; someone always had to test the waters, and it was a good chance to gauge the formation's power.

Swoosh!

The expert leaped and directly entered the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation.

Instantly, countless sword beams howled in from all directions.

The ninth-level Heavenly God was indeed formidable; the sword beams, no matter how fierce, could not harm him.

"Fan Ming is truly powerful. I heard he once fought three opponents of the same level without losing. He's quite strong among the rogue cultivators!"

"Looks like he might even get a True Divine Mystic Treasure!"

"Tsk, tsk, having a True Divine Mystic Treasure at the Heavenly God realm—how enviable!"

…

Fan Ming was evidently somewhat famous among rogue cultivators.

As soon as he made his move, the others were full of praise.

At the same time, they gained an intuitive understanding of the formation's power.

Moreover, a ninth-level Heavenly God was already among the top-tier experts present.

Sure enough, Fan Ming's strength was formidable, and he quickly passed the third level of the formation.

Then, a teleportation array appeared at one corner of the formation.

"You may now choose to leave or continue the challenge!" A voice sounded within the formation.

"I choose to continue!" Fan Ming said without hesitation.

As his words fell, the teleportation array vanished, and the formation began to operate again.

Suddenly, the situation changed drastically!

Within the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation, terrifying sword energies, almost materialized, pierced through the formation.

Though the experts were outside the formation, they felt as if those dreadful sword intents would pierce through them!

Terrifying!

The difficulty of the fourth level had suddenly multiplied several times!

Fan Ming's face changed drastically, but it was too late for regret.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…

Sword beams howled in. Fan Ming dared not be careless and exerted all his strength.

Pfft!

A sword beam directly pierced his protective divine energy and ran through his body.

With the first sword beam, countless more descended like a net, riddling Fan Ming with holes.

Outside the formation, there was dead silence.
