Qin Chuan inwardly cursed.
He had already foreseen the outcome. The headless figure rushed to the formation, raised his hand, and casually threw a punch.
*Bang!*
The formation trembled violently, but it didn't break. Qin Chuan was stunned, a glimmer of hope appearing on his face.
The middle-aged men below frowned slightly, but only slightly. They realized they had underestimated the formation, but it didn't matter; it was just a little troublesome.
The headless figure's punch struck the formation, but it didn't shatter it. He stopped, and even without a head, he seemed to be in a daze. *
Roar!
* But then a huge roar resounded. Qin Chuan had been observing this headless figure, this so-called demon god avatar, but he really didn't understand what it was.
The roaring headless demon god avatar punched the formation again. This time, the fist was surrounded by a halo—a cold, gleaming halo that grew brighter and brighter until it slammed into the formation with blinding light.
*Boom!*
The deafening roar caused the formation to tremble even more violently, countless fine cracks appearing on it like a spiderweb. Qin Chuan knew the formation was doomed.
Roar!
This time, the headless demon's clone roared in fury again, unleashing another punch.
Boom!
This time, the already crumbling, exhausted formation exploded, shattered.
Qin Chuan watched from afar. This was a grand formation, an ancient one, and one he had perfected. In his eyes, it was an impregnable formation, yet it had been shattered by three punches.
What kind of power was this? Who could withstand such power? It was terrifying!
Qin Chuan was truly worried—worried about the Empress and the Imperial Tutor, worried about the destruction of the Heavenly Kingdom. If the Heavenly Kingdom were gone, it would be a real disaster. No matter what, he had to protect the Heavenly Kingdom.
How could he eliminate this headless demon's clone?
Qin Chuan felt the difficulty was immense. Furthermore, this headless demon god avatar was summoned, which meant it was bound to have limitations; it would have to leave eventually. As for when it could be summoned again, Qin Chuan didn't know.
The problem was whether Qin Chuan could hold out until its time was up and return.
So, Qin Chuan was currently considering how to keep it and eliminate it. Besides, it was just an avatar of a demon god; even the weakest one, not strictly a demon god avatar, could potentially bring him great benefits if he could refine it.
Refine!
Qin Chuan's eyes lit up. The Chaos Furnace had this function, but it was unreliable and dangerous. Qin Chuan hadn't fully mastered the Chaos Furnace yet, but there was something more useful that he could try to eliminate them all at once. The Qiankun
Cauldron!
This treasure, now in Qin Chuan's possession, had been thoroughly studied by him recently. Sometimes, it's all about opportunity; only what suits you is truly an opportunity, and the Qiankun Cauldron was quite suitable for Qin Chuan. This
was because the Qiankun Cauldron had merged with Qin Chuan's Yin-Yang Dao.
This was undoubtedly a tremendous surprise for Qin Chuan. Qiankun is also called Heaven and Earth; Heaven is Yang, Earth is Yin. While it's said that all things possess Yin and Yang, does that mean mastering the Great Dao of Yin and Yang means mastering all things?
In principle, yes, but is your understanding of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang sufficient?
Qin Chuan's mastery of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, his Daoist principles, seemed very powerful, and indeed they were. But perhaps in some people's eyes, this realm wasn't even at the entry level. Of course, in many people's eyes, this was the heavens, a realm they could never reach in a lifetime, even ten lifetimes.
The formation was broken, and the three elders below smiled, then soared into the air, directly entering the imperial city, staring at Qin Chuan from afar, their eyes flashing with cruel light.
"Young man, you're quite good. I don't know how this formation works, but I must say your defense is very solid. But the formation is broken; what do you have left to rely on? Let's see what you have left today!"
Qin Chuan had killed many members of their Five Qi Yang Sect, and even more formation masters, which greatly angered the sect leader, so he ordered Qin Chuan to be executed.
Sometimes, things just happen to be that way. Qin Chuan's Qiankun Cauldron's range covered these people, even the headless demon god's avatar. The Qiankun Cauldron's range was still quite large, so there was no need to worry about that.
The real concern now was whether this powerful headless demon god's avatar would break free of the Qiankun Cauldron.
Qin Chuan recalled his own experience inside the Qiankun Cauldron, ultimately defeating it only with the help of the Chaos Furnace.
Forget it, now wasn't the time to think about that. In this situation, he needed to get through the immediate crisis first; everything else could wait.
Qin Chuan slowly retreated, waiting for the perfect opportunity. The old man opposite him watched Qin Chuan with amusement, like a cat toying with a mouse. They were thoroughly enjoying the moment.
In their eyes, Qin Chuan was trapped, with no chance of survival, not even escape. Therefore, they weren't worried at all; in their view, the matter was already settled.
"It's no use, don't struggle anymore. While it might be believable that you died like this, you shouldn't have provoked my Five Qi Yang Sect and even killed some of my members. Now, even the Heavenly King himself couldn't save you."
Qin Chuan shook his head. "Do you think you've got me cornered? Don't dream. It's broad daylight; killing you all would be as easy as turning my hand. But I'm giving you a chance. Take your people and leave. Come on, I'll spare you this time."
"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Young man, calling you naive is too kind. Do you think what you're saying makes any sense?"
"I'm not joking, I'm serious. I'm giving you a chance. If you don't want it, don't say I didn't give you one. In a moment, you'll see who's naive, an idiot, and arrogant." Qin Chuan said calmly.
"You're about to die, and you're still spouting nonsense. If you have the guts, then use them. What's the point of holding back now? Go ahead and use them; we'll take them." An old man said disdainfully.
Relying on his age and seniority, he acted as if he were the heavens, the ruler, capable of controlling all life here. Therefore, he was naturally displeased by Qin Chuan's words; though he laughed, it was a laugh born of anger. "
Rise!"
Qin Chuan stopped moving. His opponent had also formed an encirclement, created by several small formations. These formations weren't very powerful, and besides, Qin Chuan had no intention of using this small town to kill anyone. His only goal was
to buy some time, just a little bit of time, to allow himself time to unleash the Qiankun Cauldron.
