Boom!
The heavens and earth trembled as two massive formations collided.
At the moment of impact, Yu Xian felt an immense backlash surge through him—
a powerful resistance from over ten thousand Qi Condensation disciples, a hundred-plus Foundation Establishment experts, more than ten Core Formation cultivators, and three Nascent Soul powerhouses inside Medicine King Valley!
The formations ground against one another, releasing thunderous explosions that resembled divine wrath.
Yu Xian’s expression remained cold as he continued channeling his spiritual energy into the Soul-Destroying Array.
Though he was just a Qi Condensation cultivator—an ant in such a massive war—he still gave his all.
Since he had chosen to attack Medicine King Valley, even the strength of an ant was worth pouring in.
Besides, he was fairly sure his master wasn’t here. In this kind of large-scale conflict, even a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator was little more than cannon fodder.
In truth, Yu Xian preferred his master not be here—it was too dangerous.
High above, the four Nascent Soul cultivators and over thirty Core Formation experts unleashed relentless attacks, causing the valley’s protective formation to tremble.
But this wasn’t White Cloud Sect.
White Cloud had only two Nascent Souls.
Medicine King Valley had three.
Three Nascent Soul experts, over ten Core Formation cultivators, a hundred-plus Foundation Establishment cultivators, and more than ten thousand Qi Condensation disciples—
With the support of all these forces, the Innate Threefold Truefire Array was much harder to break.
The stalemate dragged on.
Day turned to night, night turned to day.
Seven full days passed in a deadlock.
Yu Xian frowned.
He knew full well that sect wars could last for months or even years, but he couldn’t afford to waste time here.
If it truly took a year or more to breach Medicine King Valley, should he just sit here idly for that long?
His hatred had clouded his judgment—he hadn’t thought it through carefully.
And now that he was part of the army, he couldn’t easily withdraw.
Retreating would brand him a deserter—and that was a death sentence.
Who knew if a Core Formation cultivator was monitoring for cowards right now?
Lifting his eyes skyward, Yu Xian saw that all the high-tier experts were focused entirely on attacking the formation.
No one was paying attention to the lower ranks.
For the likes of them—Qi Condensation and Foundation Establishment cultivators—their only job was to pour spiritual energy into the array.
A glint of cold determination flashed in Yu Xian’s eyes.
While still channeling spiritual energy, he walked forward—right up to the front lines.
The front was reserved for those willing to risk it all.
It was where opportunity and danger were tightly bound.
If the formation broke, those at the front would be the first to rush in and seize the spoils.
Naturally, it was usually only Foundation Establishment cultivators who dared stand here.
So when Yu Xian, a mere peak-stage Qi Condensation cultivator, stepped forward, he immediately drew attention.
Zheng Huo quickly caught up. He’d been planning to find Yu Xian anyway—being alone here made him extremely uneasy.
Only with Yu Xian did he feel safe.
But just as they reached the front, a cold voice rang out:
“You? What are you doing here? Trying to grab some benefits too? You think you’re worthy? Get back!”
It was Sun Qu—who glared and shouted.
Yu Xian frowned but said nothing.
Zheng Huo barked back before Yu Xian could respond:
“My brother doesn’t even want to waste words with you! Open your dog eyes! He’s a rare body cultivator at Foundation Establishment! One punch could smash you flat!”
“Body cultivator?”
“Foundation Establishment?”
“A body cultivator and Foundation Establishment?”
The surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators were stunned.
Body cultivators were rare—
Even among the Six Great Sects, one or two among dozens was already exceptional.
Sun Qu’s expression changed subtly. He continued channeling energy while scrutinizing Yu Xian—but he couldn’t see anything definitive.
So he snorted:
“Even if he’s a body cultivator, so what? This is the Soul-Destroying Array—it needs spiritual energy. Even a Core Formation body cultivator would be useless here. At most, he’s still only providing Qi Condensation-level power. What a joke!”
Yu Xian calmly replied as he continued feeding energy into the array:
“Is there a rule saying Qi Condensation cultivators can’t stand in the front? Did you make the rules? Who do you think you are?”
“You—!”
Sun Qu’s face turned red and white with anger.
If internal fighting wasn’t forbidden during array support, he might’ve attacked on the spot.
So what if Yu Xian was a body cultivator?
As long as he wasn’t close enough to land a punch, he was just a walking sandbag.
Seeing that Sun Qu had no comeback, Yu Xian ignored him and walked further forward.
The two formations continued grinding against each other—thunder and fire erupting in terrifying flashes.
Yu Xian kept channeling energy while shifting position—gradually moving away from the others.
Zheng Huo followed and whispered:
“Forget those dogs. Let’s just stay away from them.”
Yu Xian smiled faintly but didn’t explain his intentions.
He kept his eyes on the intersecting edges of the two formations, searching.
The formations covered a span of nearly ten li. The contact zone was vast.
After several hours, Yu Xian and Zheng Huo found a relatively sparse section.
Here, the Qi Condensation cultivators stood far apart, and the nearest Foundation Establishment cultivators were more than 300 meters away—no one was paying attention to them.
Yu Xian turned to Zheng Huo and said quietly:
“Brother Zheng, I’d like some time alone.”
Zheng Huo was momentarily stunned, then nodded:
“Alright, alright. Don’t let what that dog said get to you.”
With a sigh, he walked off.
This kid’s got a good heart, but he’s young and impulsive.
Zheng Huo kept his distance but frequently glanced back, ready to intervene if Yu Xian did anything reckless.
They were cannon fodder in this war—just energy providers.
They couldn’t afford to go all out and leave nothing for defense or escape. That would be suicide.
But Yu Xian had no intention of exhausting himself.
He had spent hours finding this exact spot—a relatively weak point where the thunder and fire from the colliding formations were thinner, and fewer people were around.
His purpose?
To breach the formation.
Yes.
He was going to try and break through Medicine King Valley’s protective barrier!
But how could a mere “ant”—with a Foundation-level body and Qi Condensation cultivation—possibly shatter a formation maintained by three Nascent Soul cultivators, ten-plus Core Formation, a hundred Foundation Establishment, and 20,000 Qi Condensation disciples?
Even Yu Xian didn’t know for sure.
But he wanted to try.
He held in his hand a small, unassuming black iron shard—
Ten months ago, it had helped him escape the mysterious formation in the Demonic Valley.
Could it… possibly help break a hole in this one too?
All he needed was a small breach.
Just enough to render the formation imperfect.
If that happened, the Soul-Destroying Array would instantly gain the upper hand.
Yu Xian didn’t know the specific grade of this formation.
But he assumed that if the formation in the Demonic Valley—which sealed countless demons—was high-grade, this one might be comparable.
If the iron shard worked then, it might work now.
As for what this shard was made of—Yu Xian couldn’t even begin to guess.
It was undoubtedly a rare treasure.
Staring at the thunder-and-fire-clashing edges of the two great formations—even at their weakest point—the power was terrifying.
Yu Xian frowned slightly.
If he simply reached out with his hand… he might lose it.
He had a body of Foundation Establishment, not Core Formation.
After some thought, he quietly took out the Spirit God Shield.
Unactivated, it was only palm-sized and fit perfectly in his hand.
Taking a breath, Yu Xian slowly extended his hand past the boundary.
Crack! Zzzzt!
The moment his hand crossed over, arcs of thunder and fire slammed into it.
Even through the Spirit God Shield, his hand went numb.
The mid-grade defensive artifact dimmed instantly—barely able to hold on.
Yu Xian’s heart jumped—but he didn’t retreat.
With a sudden thrust, he pressed the black iron shard into the array—
dragging it directly across Medicine King Valley’s protective barrier.
