Chapter 139: Heavenly Fury Sword! Cultivation in a Trapped Formation
“It’s Master Beauty’s aura!”
Zhou Chen crouched down, picked up a bit of the dark red clay on the ground, and brought it to his nose to smell. It was the scent of Huangfu Yue Yao’s blood.
Zhou Chen became even more cautious. Even Huangfu Yue Yao was injured here. If he got hit, he would probably die instantly.
The surroundings were riddled with holes and crisscrossed with gullies, clearly having experienced a terrifying battle. The earth seemed to have been plowed over.
“Young Master, stay away from me later!”
Hong Xiu stood in front of Zhou Chen with her voluptuous figure, like a ripe peach, plump and alluring, and said with concern.
“I know, don’t worry!”
Zhou Chen smiled, embraced Hong Xiu, and gently kissed her smooth and attractive forehead, taking advantage of the opportunity to give her a squeeze.
“Ugh!”
Hong Xiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen, breaking free from his clutches, and then went ahead to scout the path according to his instructions.
“So fragrant!”
Zhou Chen raised his hand, the scent of milk lingering on his fingertips. After being bestowed with godhood, Hong Xiu’s essence was that of a god, with no difference between her true form and her physical body.
In other words, bestowing godhood was equivalent to reshaping Hong Xiu’s body into a divine one that could shift between reality and illusion at will.
If Zhou Chen wanted to drink milk…
He could.
Gathering his thoughts, Zhou Chen focused on exploring, utilizing his Qi Observation Technique to its fullest to guide Hong Xiu and avoid danger.
At the same time…
Zhou Chen also cast the “Deceive the Heavens and Cross the Sea” supernatural ability, making himself disappear from his original spot.
This supernatural ability wasn’t just a simple invisibility technique. It was equivalent to Zhou Chen separating himself from this space and standing in another special dimension.
He was clearly still there, but ordinary attacks wouldn’t be able to touch him at all.
Previously, after Zhou Chen used this ability, not to mention Divine Ability Realm cultivators, even Zi Qing Xian Zi couldn’t detect him.
Since Zi Qing Xian Zi couldn’t detect him, Zhou Chen estimated that her attacks probably wouldn’t be able to touch him either.
Of course…
Zhou Chen hadn’t tried it and couldn’t be sure whether experts at Zi Qing Xian Zi’s level could attack him while he was invisible.
But in any case, Zhou Chen in his invisible state could avoid ninety-nine percent of dangers.
“Roar!”
An earth dragon burst out of the ground, snapping its jaws at Hong Xiu.
“Beast, you’re courting death!”
A flash of sword light, and the earth dragon was cut in two. Its powerful life force allowed it to retain some vitality.
It seemed to split into two and burrow underground.
Zhou Chen struck, reducing it to dust, completely eliminating it.
“Continue!”
He didn’t care about this small interlude. Zhou Chen had already encountered many such attacks.
Hong Xiu wasn’t afraid either. She had already adapted.
Especially since she possessed a body comparable to an immortal’s, she wasn’t afraid of death at all.
……
At the same time…
Within a grand formation filled with countless flashes of lightning, resembling a world-destroying tribulation, Huangfu Yue Yao withstood the bombardment of lightning bolts with a bright moon and a blazing sun above her head.
Countless lightning bolts fell like rain, seemingly endless and without end.
“I shouldn’t have been greedy!”
Looking at the treasured sword embedded in the center of the white jade platform not far away, Huangfu Yue Yao sighed in her heart.
According to her exploration, this ancient cave dwelling was a secret realm of the ancient Heavenly Fury Sect, and the grand formation trapping her was the Heavenly Fury Formation.
At the center of the formation was an unparalleled sword embryo – Heavenly Fury.
This Heavenly Fury Formation was actually set up to nurture the sword embryo.
After countless years of nurturing, the Heavenly Fury sword embryo had already possessed earth-shattering and supreme power, with the potential to become an immortal sword.
She knew that Zhou Chen cultivated both immortality and martial arts, and she had learned that he had condensed a Great Dao Golden Core. When she saw the Heavenly Fury sword embryo, she wanted to take it and give it to Zhou Chen as his life-bound magical treasure.
In the future, as Zhou Chen’s cultivation level increased, it was not impossible for this Heavenly Fury sword to become an immortal sword.
Unfortunately…
The Heavenly Fury Formation was too powerful. Not only did she fail to take the sword embryo, but she was trapped here instead.
She could only rely on the divine weapon, the Sun and Moon Essence Wheel, to barely resist.
But as time went on, her divine power would be exhausted, and she would inevitably be blasted to ashes by the lightning.
“I’ve lived for over a hundred years, equivalent to two lifetimes of ordinary people. I’ve enjoyed wealth, glory, fame, and power. This life has been worth it…”
Huangfu Yue Yao smiled bitterly. She had been trapped here for two days, and she knew that if the Unbounded Sword Sect could save her, they would have come long ago.
Moreover, although she was trapped here, she could also sense that a major change had occurred in this cave dwelling. The Unbounded Sword Sect probably couldn’t save her.
“I still have a disciple who is unparalleled in his generation, a true prodigy…”
Thinking of Zhou Chen, Huangfu Yue Yao felt that she was still lucky.
“Master Beauty!”
As she was thinking about Zhou Chen, she heard his voice in her ear.
“Am I hallucinating before my divine power is exhausted?”
Huangfu Yue Yao couldn’t help but laugh: “It seems that the past two days have been too exhausting, and my mind is too tired…”
She didn’t believe that Zhou Chen could come here.
Although Zhou Chen was powerful, he was still far from the Divine Ability Realm.
“Master Beauty, I’m here to save you!”
Zhou Chen stood outside the Heavenly Fury Formation, looking at Huangfu Yue Yao who was unharmed. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Hong Xiu had already returned to the Wind and Moon Mirror.
“Huh?”
Huangfu Yue Yao turned her head to look outside the formation, her eyes widening. She blinked hard again. Was her vision blurry?
“Master Beauty, hold on, I will definitely get you out!”
Zhou Chen said loudly.
“Zhou Chen? Is it really you?”
Huangfu Yue Yao couldn’t believe it. She was both shocked that Zhou Chen could reach this place and touched that he would risk his life to save her.
“Master Beauty, there has been a change in the cave dwelling. Experts above the Divine Seed Realm can’t enter. But I’m proficient in formations and have many methods. I can definitely get you out!”
As he spoke, Zhou Chen began to study the formation trapping Master Beauty.
Previously, in order to deal with the Blazing Dragon Valley’s protective formation, Zhou Chen had invested a lot of Romance Points in studying formations. Now, he could be considered a peak Tier 3 Formation Master, and he was also proficient in the Tier 4 early stage Eight Desolations Blazing Dragon Formation of the Blazing Dragon Valley.
Tier 4 formations could defend against and suppress Divine Seed Realm experts.
Tier 5 formations corresponded to the Divine Ability Realm.
The formation before him was at least a Tier 6 formation.
“Zhou Chen, this formation is the Tier 6 Heavenly Fury Formation, and it has mutated after fusing with the Heavenly Fury sword embryo. Don’t force it. If it doesn’t work, go back. I’m already happy that you came. I have no regrets even if I die!”
Huangfu Yue Yao didn’t believe that Zhou Chen could break this formation.
This was a Tier 6 formation. Even she couldn’t do anything about it, let alone with the Heavenly Fury sword embryo that had been nurtured for countless years at the formation’s core.
“How can a man say he can’t do it?”
Zhou Chen raised his head, looked at Huangfu Yue Yao’s stunning face, and grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth:
“Has Master Beauty never seen how capable I am?”
“You’re glib!”
Glaring at Zhou Chen, Huangfu Yue Yao couldn’t help but recall the image of Qing E beaming with joy in her mind.
And Hong Zhu.
Especially the wound that seemed to be festering, with pus oozing out.
“My heart is like clear ice, unmoved even if the sky collapses…”
Huangfu Yue Yao didn’t dare to think further, feeling her body heating up. The despair she had felt for the past two days being trapped here had dissipated due to Zhou Chen’s suggestive words.
Zhou Chen carefully studied and observed the Heavenly Fury Formation. Relying on himself alone, he definitely couldn’t fully understand it in a short time.
But he only needed to study and record it.
And then…
Add points!
Looking at Zhou Chen who was seriously studying the formation, Huangfu Yue Yao stared at him with infatuation. At this moment, Zhou Chen, who was focused, appeared particularly charming in her eyes.
Especially when she was at her weakest, most helpless, and most in need, Zhou Chen came to save her regardless of his own safety, making his figure suddenly appear taller and more reliable in her heart.
“Peak Tier 3 Formation Master is too weak, I can’t understand it at all…”
Zhou Chen was annoyed.
Because this was an already set-up formation, not a formation manual.
If it were a formation manual, even a Tier 6 one, Zhou Chen could record it and add points after reading it once.
But for this formation, Zhou Chen had to figure out the general idea before he could record it and then add points.
During this time, Zhou Chen had also accumulated 20 million Romance Points. “Formation Master, add points!”
Zhou Chen used his ultimate move.
5 million Romance Points were consumed. Countless formation knowledge emerged in his mind, as if he had studied formations for decades.
Lotus Patriarch had manuals on Tier 4 Formation Masters, and the Unbounded Sword Sect had even more.
Although Zhou Chen spent all day with women, he knew the importance of knowledge.
He had also gone to the Unbounded Sword Sect’s library and recorded countless manuals on formations, alchemy, artifact refinement, and other subjects.
Now that he needed to use them, he could directly retrieve them and add points.
It was a pity that the Unbounded Sword Sect didn’t have a formation manual for the Heavenly Fury Formation. Otherwise, it would have been much simpler.
As countless formation knowledge merged and integrated, Zhou Chen became a Tier 4 Formation Master.
“Continue!”
Zhou Chen glanced at the Heavenly Fury Formation. Tier 4 Formation Master was still not enough.
10 million Romance Points were consumed.
Zhou Chen felt as if he had studied formations for hundreds of years. Finally, he had an epiphany and became a Tier 5 Formation Master, mastering dozens of Tier 5 formations.
“This should be enough!”
Having become a Tier 5 Formation Master, Zhou Chen immediately had a different understanding of the Heavenly Fury Formation. It was no longer a blur, and he could finally comprehend it.
Half an hour later…
【Tier 6 Heavenly Fury Formation(0/50000000)】
“Damn! It actually requires 50 million?”
Zhou Chen felt like he had been screwed over.
But considering that this was a Tier 6 formation, it was understandable.
With 50 million, he would be able to completely master a Tier 6 formation. Once he thoroughly grasped it, he would be equivalent to having one foot in the ranks of Tier 6 Formation Masters.
However, a Tier 6 Formation Master needed to master a lot of knowledge. Understanding a single Tier 6 formation wasn’t enough.
“Add points!”
Zhou Chen went all in with his remaining 5 million Romance Points. He wasn’t aiming to fully master this Tier 6 formation anyway.
He only needed to find some flaws and rescue Master Beauty.
As 5 million Romance Points were consumed, Zhou Chen felt as if he had been studying the Heavenly Fury Formation day after day, for two and a half years in the blink of an eye.
Countless insights surged into his mind, and Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up.
“I have a way!”
Zhou Chen found a way to rescue Huangfu Yue Yao. He said excitedly:
“Master Beauty, get ready. I will open a gap in the formation and rescue you!”
Huangfu Yue Yao’s spirits lifted. She was both surprised and delighted, but also worried: “Zhou Chen, are you sure? Don’t act recklessly. If you’re backlashed by the formation, it’s no joke!”
A Tier 6 formation, even a casual strike, wasn’t something Zhou Chen could withstand.
“Don’t worry, Master Beauty. In my dictionary, there are no such words as ‘can’t do it’!”
Zhou Chen’s voice was sonorous and full of confidence.
“Blazing Fire Sword Array!”
With a flick of his finger, five magical treasure flying swords shot out. Zhou Chen’s eyes flickered with light, and the five flying swords transformed into five streams of light, piercing into the weakest points of the Heavenly Fury Formation.
In an instant, the Heavenly Fury Formation was like a fierce maiden struck in her vital point, her aura wilting. Huangfu Yue Yao, trapped within the formation, immediately felt the power of the rolling thunderbolts decrease by more than tenfold.
“This kid is a true monster!”
Although the Heavenly Fury Formation wasn’t broken yet, Huangfu Yue Yao already saw hope. She was both shocked and overjoyed.
Who would want to die if they could live?
“One last fatal blow!”
The Myriad Forms Divine Weapon appeared on Zhou Chen’s body, transforming into a pitch-black, shiny divine spear.
Zhou Chen held the spear with both hands and thrust it fiercely at the thin membrane of the Heavenly Fury Formation, as if it were a maiden’s hymen. The formation trembled with a buzzing sound, as if it had stalled.
The spot where the Myriad Forms Divine Spear pierced was instantly opened up.
“Master Beauty, come out quickly!”
Zhou Chen said excitedly.
He had opened the Tier 6 Heavenly Fury Formation and rescued Master Beauty.
Zhou Chen felt both happy and proud.
Huangfu Yue Yao’s figure moved, about to come out.
Suddenly…
A powerful force pulled at the Myriad Forms Divine Weapon in Zhou Chen’s hand. Caught off guard, he was instantly pulled into the formation.
Buzz.
At the same moment, the Heavenly Fury sword embedded in the center of the white jade platform emitted a dazzling light, like a ferocious lion whose territory had been invaded, charging at the intruder.
The five magical treasure flying swords that had been inserted into the weak points of the Heavenly Fury Formation were instantly blown away. The Heavenly Fury sword embryo soared into the sky and fused with the formation.
In an instant…
Thunderbolts rolled, heavenly might descended, and the Heavenly Fury Formation emitted a dazzling light, its power increasing by dozens of times compared to before.
“Holy crap!”
Zhou Chen was dumbfounded.
He had never expected that the Myriad Forms Divine Weapon in his hand would actually provoke the sword embryo that had been nurtured for countless years within the Heavenly Fury Formation.
Countless thunderbolts, intertwined with sword light, descended from the sky. The terrifying aura of destruction made Zhou Chen tremble with fear.
Huangfu Yue Yao appeared in front of Zhou Chen and took the divine weapon from his hand, pouring her powerful divine power into it.
In an instant…
The Myriad Forms Divine Weapon seemed to be energized, emitting an unprecedented brilliance and transforming into a giant umbrella that blocked all the attacks.
“Master Beauty, can you break the formation with this Myriad Forms Divine Weapon?”
Zhou Chen asked expectantly.
“This divine weapon of yours is very powerful. If it weren’t for that Heavenly Fury sword embryo, I could try to break the formation with brute force. But now…”
Huangfu Yue Yao shook her head. The Heavenly Fury sword embryo was not weak either. With the support of the Heavenly Fury Formation, even with Zhou Chen’s Myriad Forms Divine Weapon, she could only barely hold it off!
“If you can completely break this Heavenly Fury Formation, I can use this Myriad Forms Divine Weapon to suppress the Heavenly Fury sword embryo for you, allowing you to refine it into your life-bound treasure!”
Huangfu Yue Yao looked at Zhou Chen. Just now, he had so quickly found the flaws in the Heavenly Fury Formation. Given a little more time, he might be able to completely break it.
Without the Heavenly Fury Formation, the Heavenly Fury sword embryo would be rootless. With the Myriad Forms Divine Weapon, she could easily suppress it.
“Break the Heavenly Fury Formation…”
Zhou Chen glanced at his personal panel.
【Tier 6 Heavenly Fury Formation(5000000/50000000)】
“I still need 45 million Romance Points…”
Zhou Chen frowned. Even if he called out Ji Feng Xia and Liu Ru Yi, two Golden Core experts, to engage in dual cultivation with him in his physical body…
And then, in the Wind and Moon Mirror, his soul body would merge with Cheng Su Su and Huo Yao Yao, two Golden Core souls…
And even if he used all his tools for enhancement…
He estimated that it would still take at least a week.
“Master Beauty, how long can you hold on?”
With Master Beauty’s refreshing fragrance lingering in his nose, Zhou Chen looked at her with anticipation.
“I should be able to hold on for about four days!”
Huangfu Yue Yao thought for a moment. This was her limit.
“Master Beauty, four days is not enough for me to break this formation. Unless…”
Zhou Chen looked at Huangfu Yue Yao’s curvaceous and enchanting figure, her white skin faintly visible beneath her robe, as smooth as jade, shimmering with an alluring luster.
Zhou Chen swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, his mouth dry. Thinking of Master Beauty’s body, his desire erupted like a volcano, impossible to suppress.
“Unless what… Ah…”
Huangfu Yue Yao had just spoken when she felt Zhou Chen’s gaze and immediately understood. Her fair and delicate cheeks flushed red.
She remembered how Zhou Chen had mastered an unparalleled martial art in a single day with Hong Zhu.
She knew about Zhou Chen’s special physique, how he would receive a great boost when he was with women, his comprehension and other aspects skyrocketing.
The more powerful the woman, the greater the boost!
“Master Beauty, I like you!”
Zhou Chen embraced Huangfu Yue Yao, burying his face in her embrace.
“So fragrant!”
Zhou Chen took a deep breath, shook his head, and rubbed against her.
Soft and warm like jade.
He really wanted to taste her…
“You…”
Looking at Zhou Chen with his head buried in her embrace, Huangfu Yue Yao’s delicate body trembled. She thought of how he had risked his life to save her.
If it weren’t for her, Zhou Chen wouldn’t be trapped here.
She felt both touched and guilty.
He was also the first man willing to risk his life for her.
Huangfu Yue Yao’s eyes became firm, and she immediately made a decision.
She suppressed the trembling in her heart and forced her voice to sound calm as she said:
“Come on. Remember, I’m only helping you cultivate, only to escape this predicament. There’s nothing else. Once we leave this place, just pretend nothing happened. If you dare to speak of this, I’ll break your legs!”
“Master Beauty, I love you. Don’t worry, I will definitely take responsibility for you!”
Zhou Chen tightly embraced Huangfu Yue Yao’s plump and alluring body, every drop of blood in his body boiling.
“Don’t say such things. We’re only cultivating. There’s nothing else. Who needs you to take responsibility!”
Huangfu Yue Yao scolded, trying her best to appear calm and composed, as if it were truly just a matter of cultivation.
“Alright, as long as Master Beauty is happy!”
Zhou Chen didn’t mind Master Beauty deceiving herself. His gaze swept over her towering chest and slender waist. He suddenly tightened his grip.
Zhou Chen’s trembling hand held Master Beauty’s soft and slender waist, feeling like he was holding the entire world.
Master Beauty trembled slightly. Although she said it was cultivation and nothing else, the originally calm lake in her heart had already rippled, layer after layer.
Gulp.
Zhou Chen swallowed hard, his mouth dry. He realized for the first time that a woman could exude such strong beauty and allure.
Her slender waist and full hips swayed gracefully, as if shaking his entire world.
Zhou Chen held Master Beauty’s hand. It was truly smooth as jade, soft and boneless, fair, slender, perfect and flawless.
It was hard to imagine that such hands could belong to a human. They should only exist on legendary fairies and goddesses.
Her nails were clear, bright, and delicate, like mutton-fat jade. The more Zhou Chen looked, the more beautiful he found them, and the more his heart raced.
It was said that true beauty lay in the bones, not the skin.
Master Beauty’s bone structure was perfect, her temperament and charm impeccable, and her skin was crystal clear and delicate, without a single flaw.
Seeing Zhou Chen’s infatuation with her, Master Beauty felt a sense of pride and vanity, but she couldn’t bear it and couldn’t help but say in exasperation: “Have you seen enough?”
“No!”
Zhou Chen shook his head, looked into Master Beauty’s bright and deep eyes, like autumn water, and said earnestly: “I can never get enough!”
“You’re so smooth-tongued! Stop wasting time!”
Huangfu Yue Yao rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen.
“Yes, Master Beauty!”
Zhou Chen chuckled and fixed his gaze on the jade belt around Master Beauty’s slender waist. His trembling fingers grasped the smooth jade belt, as if holding the key to a peerless treasure.
“Huff!”
Zhou Chen took a deep breath and pulled hard.
The jade belt came undone.
Master Beauty’s robe loosened and slid down, revealing her voluptuous and fair body.
Both of them held their breath at the same time.
A bead of sweat rolled down Master Beauty’s forehead, landing below her delicate and sexy collarbone. It seemed as if it would slide down the crevice and into the valley between her breasts.
Zhou Chen’s eyes followed the path of the sweat drop.
“Don’t look!”
Huangfu Yue Yao hurriedly raised her hand to block Zhou Chen’s view.
“Master Beauty, I want to see the most beautiful scenery in the world!”
Zhou Chen gently moved Master Beauty’s hand away, feeling the strength contained within her soft and jade-like hand. He grinned and said: “Unless Master Beauty beats me to death, I’m going to look!”
“To die under the peony flower, even as a ghost, I’d be a romantic.”
“If I miss the most beautiful scenery in the world, it would be more painful than death, a true lifelong regret!”
“Smooth talker!”
Huangfu Yue Yao sighed helplessly. She really wanted to kill this rebellious disciple who betrayed his master and ancestors.
She felt incredibly embarrassed. It was truly difficult to have such a shameless disciple…
Her crystal-clear earlobes and snowy-white neck had turned a faint red at some point, and the blush was deepening at a visible pace, becoming as crimson as blood.
Zhou Chen raised his head, admiring Master Beauty’s fairy-like appearance at this moment.
Master Beauty’s face, which was as pure and elegant as a fairy, had already been flushed with a rosy hue.
It was as if a fairy had descended to the mortal world, falling into the myriad temptations of the red dust.
“Master Beauty, you’re so beautiful!”
Zhou Chen stared intently at Master Beauty’s stunning face. The latter felt both shy and angry, and was about to scold him to alleviate her embarrassment.
However, as she opened her red lips slightly, Zhou Chen leaned in and kissed her soft lips, greedily savoring her scent.
“Mmm!”
Huangfu Yue Yao’s eyes widened, her body stiffening, her mind going blank.
If it weren’t for her instinctively maintaining the divine power of the Myriad Forms Divine Weapon, they would probably be struck dead by lightning.
“Master Beauty, I want you!”
Kissing Huangfu Yue Yao’s cheek, Zhou Chen worked his way down, kissing her snowy-white neck, her delicate and fair collarbone, and then…
“Don’t…”
Huangfu Yue Yao pressed Zhou Chen’s head with her slender and fair hand.
She knew Zhou Chen loved to drink beast milk.
Although she had been prepared…
She still felt shy when the moment arrived.
“Master Beauty, this is cultivation!”
Zhou Chen looked up and smiled. Huangfu Yue Yao froze, her hand losing its strength.
Zhou Chen buried his head in her chest, clearly sensing her heart pounding like a drum, extremely nervous.
All her attention was focused on this.
The next moment…
Zhou Chen’s hand, like An Lushan’s infamous claw, took the opportunity to break through her defenses and slip under her skirt.
Huangfu Yue Yao trembled, her pupils constricting, as if struck by lightning, her entire body stiffening.
An indescribable and wonderful sensation surged through her like a tidal wave.
