Immortality Through Array Formations Chapter 2182 Chapter 1022: One Sword from Heaven

Previously on Immortality Through Array Formations...
Spectators and elders at the Mount of Tao replayed the Sword Discussion Conference footage, uncovering that Mo Hua had drawn a High-Rank Gold Stone Formation on the spot by dismantling allowed media, using his formation pen, and spiritual ink from miscellaneous items. Debates erupted over whether this clever compliance with ancestral rules constituted cheating, yet the formation stood as a formidable barrier on the city gate. The Heavenly Sword Sect prodigies unleashed furious Sky Star Sword Qi, breaching the first layer and nearly collapsing the gate, only for Mo Hua to activate a second formation, restoring its indestructibility and plunging the attackers into deepening despair.

First in Qianxue, Formation Leader.

This title resounded deeply within the minds of nearly all the cultivators observing from afar, pressing down with immense weight on their thoughts.

Although the event was a Sword Discussion Conference, the term "Leader" in the realm of formations carried a significance that demanded respect.

Upon the high platform of the Shangguan Family, as they witnessed Mo Hua's formation enduring the fearsome Sword Qi from the Heavenly Sword Sect, Yu Er felt a surge of renewed energy, her gaze alight with excitement.

Wenren Wan, Zhang Lan, and their companions experienced a wave of renewed vigor as well.

The Taixu Gate disciples displayed clear signs of exhilaration.

From the Taixu Three Mountains, the watching elders gradually sat up straighter, their attention locked intently on the unfolding events.

Could this signal a shift in fortunes?

The Earth-level sword discussion proved incredibly challenging, with Taixu Gate facing repeated setbacks.

Everyone in the sect, from the highest ranks to the lowest, yearned intensely for even a single triumph.

With this potential reversal emerging, every Taixu Gate cultivator sensed their pulse quicken, a mix of hope and tension gripping them.

Yet certain individuals recognized inwardly that securing victory would prove far from simple.

The adversary, after all, was none other than the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Despite the adverse circumstances, the Heavenly Sword Sect refused to remain passive; failing to act would undermine their status among the Four Sects.

A good number of spectators among the crowd grasped this reality.

And as anticipated, amid the drawing arena, a genius from the Heavenly Sword Sect advanced boldly.

He stood tall, his face chiseled with precision, exuding an air of exceptional presence.

The name of this figure reverberated in the thoughts of many:

"Xiao Ruohan."

The top prodigy of the Heavenly Sword Sect remained Xiao Wuchen.

Xiao Wuchen possessed remarkable talent, his grasp of the Sword Dao profoundly deep, rendering him unmatched even within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

However, the Heavenly Sword Sect's foundations ran profoundly deep, harboring more than a single Xiao Wuchen.

Below Xiao Wuchen lurked numerous other Sword Dao geniuses.

Among those, Xiao Ruohan ranked as one of the mightiest in the Heavenly Sword Sect, excluding Xiao Wuchen himself.

Though Xiao Ruohan fell short of Xiao Wuchen's level, against the other gifted individuals from the Four Sects and Eight Gates, he stood firmly at the pinnacle.

His prodigious nature rivaled that of Linghu Xiao without question.

This particular sword discussion squad fell under Xiao Ruohan's leadership as well.

As the foremost talent and genius, in the face of crisis, he bore the heavy burden of reversing the momentum.

Only by doing so could he truly uphold the title of "prodigy" and receive adoration from countless admirers.

Furthermore, his ultimate ambition targeted Xiao Wuchen.

The Taixu Gate squad before him had been swiftly overcome by Xiao Wuchen, ultimately succumbing to his followers.

Yet now, defeat loomed at the hands of Xiao Wuchen's own "follower."

Such an outcome was utterly intolerable to Xiao Ruohan.

He craved victory.

Not merely victory, but a resounding one that would also obliterate Mo Hua!

The very team vanquished by Xiao Wuchen—he refused to falter against them!

Simultaneously, he needed to slay the one Xiao Wuchen could not!

Through this alone could he match Xiao Wuchen's stride, secure the sect elders' recognition, and claim acclaim from the myriad cultivators gathered for the Sword Discussion.

This Mo Hua, bearing the mantle of "Formation Leader," served as both an obstacle in the sword discussion.

And a vital stepping stone for gradually eclipsing Xiao Wuchen's renown.

Thus, the barrier ahead had to be shattered.

Regardless of how slim the odds, surrender was not an option.

Within the Sword Discussion Conference, where prodigies collide, results often teeter on the thinnest of edges. Engaging in battle offers a chance at success.

Refusing to fight guarantees defeat!

Besides, Xiao Ruohan steadily regained his composure.

He understood that his haste had likely led him to be deceived by Mo Hua's display.

This Mo Hua's formations held undeniable power, yet he ought not to be

overrated to such extremes.

Drawing even two High-Rank formations in so brief a period bordered on the miraculous.

High-Rank formations demanded vast amounts of Divine Sense and extended periods of time.

Even as Formation Leader, it was impossible for him to possess the prowess to inscribe three Second Grade Nineteen Patterns High-Rank formations so rapidly. Through a fierce onslaught, shattering the formation once more, he could surge forward with unstoppable force and strike down Mo Hua, as if toppling a fortified city.

In the midst of swirling sword chaos, should Mo Hua hesitate for the briefest instant, or if the Dao Discussion Jade fractured a heartbeat too slowly, demise would be inevitable.

"At all costs, kill!"

Coldness filled Xiao Ruohan's gaze, and with no delay, he activated the Golden Body Talisman before lifting his sword toward the heavens.

The Golden Body Talisman shielded his form.

Spiritual power flowed forth like a mighty torrent, while Sword Qi churned wildly like crashing ocean swells.

Every trace of spiritual power coalesced within his frame.

All Sword Qi fused into a singular blade.

His sword radiated a brilliant glow, resembling descending celestial stars, brilliant and blinding, infused with a frosty intent to massacre.

The cultivators in the audience erupted in astonishment, crying out:

"One Sword from Heaven!"

"A pinnacle lethal technique from the Heavenly Sword Technique..."

"To think Xiao Ruohan has mastered one of the Nine Heavenly Sword Techniques... what an achievement..."

The crowd marveled with sighs and headshakes, "The Heavenly Sword Sect remains the Heavenly Sword Sect, truly deserving its place as the premier Sword Dao Sect in the Qian Learning State Boundary."

"Beyond Xiao Wuchen among their disciples, another Sword Dao

genius of this caliber emerges."

"Xiao Ruohan trails Xiao Wuchen only by a hair, but that hardly diminishes his strength; he's a supreme prodigy in his own right..."

"Has he deployed this One Sword from Heaven before?"

"No, up to this point, no foe in the Sword Discussion has merited unleashing this deadly strike."

"This promises to be spectacular..."

"Taixu Gate's performance in this sword discussion round... hangs in the balance once more..."

Upon beholding Xiao Ruohan's formidable sword strike, the whole of Taixu Gate—from Yu Er to Wenren Wan and Zhang Lan—felt a chill seize their hearts.

The ease they had briefly known tightened into knots anew.

Within the Sword Discussion arena.

As Xiao Ruohan hoisted his sword to channel his energy, Mo Hua

promptly yelled:

"Interrupt his killing move!"

Linghu Xiao's Sword Qi lashed out first.

Following closely was Situ Jian's Li Fire Sword.
