The enemy had already arrived at their doorstep. Lin Baidu didn't have the confidence to stay calm in the face of danger.
In the end, the number one sect was too strange. It hadn't even been a year since it was established, but it had already developed to such an astonishing scale. The three sects had jointly issued a bounty of ten billion, and even the twelve sword masters had been dispatched. In the end, the number one sect didn't even suffer a single casualty. On the contrary, the thousands of cultivators who went for the bounty didn't return.
Originally, the number one sect was far away from the Thousand Poison Sect. Lin Baidu thought that no matter what, at least his own safety was guaranteed. After all, the number one sect hadn't been established for long, and they wouldn't launch an expedition. But now, the number one sect had arrived without any warning. Moreover, all the sect's elites were present. There were at least thirty Reincarnation Realm experts and Undead Tribulation experts. How could he not panic?
Although the Thousand Poison Sect had three Undead Tribulation experts, and they had the advantage of occupying the poisonous island, they shouldn't be afraid of the number one sect. After all, in terms of strength, there was still a certain gap between the number one sect and the Thousand Poison Sect.
However, Lin Baidu didn't dare to be careless. To deal with the number one sect that didn't play by the rules, he had to prepare for the worst.
Especially Daniel Wu, it was said that he had killed twelve Sword Masters in one move. Even Lin Baidu did not dare to imagine such an invincible method. In the face of such an outstanding fighting strength of the younger generation, Lin Baidu's heart was filled with despair.
Recently, there were more and more monstrous geniuses appearing in the Xuanyuan Continent. Previously, Si Ming was already ridiculous enough. Now, there was someone even more ridiculous than Si Ming. How could they, the old seniors, survive?
"Sect … Sect Master, the two elders, Bai Mu and Shu Qing, have yet to come out of seclusion."
"Damn it! Unreliable things!"
Lin Baidu was furious. How could he not know the intentions of the two old men? They knew that they wanted to stay out of this matter and use the number one sect to pull him down from the position of sect master, so that they could take the opportunity to take the position.
However, it was useless to be angry now. The number one sect had already arrived. If they didn't prepare, it would be bad.
Lin Baidu immediately gathered the upper echelons of the sect and said, "Elder Xue Du, prepare to activate the Poison Sand Formation."
"Sect Master, the Venomous Sand Formation hasn't been activated for hundreds of years. Although the Number One Sect of All Ages is coming with great momentum, they only have one Lifeless Tribulation expert. There's no need to mobilize so many people. Activating the Venomous Sand Formation once costs at least billions of sect funds."
"What do you know? If I tell you to open it, then open it. If you don't open it now, it will be too late later."
Seeing Lin Baidu's exasperated expression, Xue Du didn't dare to disobey, and he immediately led some people to activate the poison sand formation.
Very soon, a black sandstorm swept across the island. Large amounts of poisonous black sand formed a huge shield that covered the entire island.
The texture of the black sand was very similar to the yellow sand in the Violet Phoenix's Violet Gold Gourd. They looked like sand, but were actually tiny ritual implements. However, there were thousands of times more of them. The Venomous Sand Formation formed by so much black sand was extremely powerful. Its defensive power could even withstand several attacks from an Inextinguishable Calamity expert. Moreover, it was highly toxic. If an ordinary cultivator was scraped by the Venomous Sand Formation, they would be poisoned to death.
There were also many tiny poisonous insects mixed in with the sand. They could easily burrow through a cultivator's skin and invade their body and brain, affecting their mind and causing confusion.
Once the Venomous Sand Formation was activated, unless an Undying Tribulation expert came in person, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to attack the island.
The moment the Poison Sand Formation was activated, Lin Baidu's heart finally calmed down.
"Disciples of the Myriad Poison Sect, prepare to counterattack at any time. Kill anyone who dares approach the Venomous Sand Formation."
The Venomous Sand Formation was difficult to break from the outside, but it could still be attacked from within.
At the same time, Su Chen on the Seven Star Boat also saw the black sand shield floating over the island.
"The Venomous Sand Formation!"
Lin Xiao exclaimed. "This is the strongest defensive formation in the Myriad Poison Sect. I didn't think they'd activate the Venomous Sand Formation. They must've been scared out of their wits by our reputation."
"Is the Venomous Sand Formation very powerful?" Su Chen asked.
Lin Xiao nodded. "The Venomous Sand Formation is one of the top runic formations. Combined with the natural environment of the Myriad Poison Sect, it's extremely difficult to break through. However … don't worry Sect Master, I'll be able to break through it in two hours."
Lin Xiao's words were brimming with confidence. As a seventh-level patternscribe, Lin Xiao's attainments in the dao of runes couldn't be considered the best in the Xuanyuan Continent, but he was definitely in the top ten. Although the Venomous Sand Formation was powerful, he'd personally set up many other formations.
"Alright, I'll leave the matter of breaking through the formation to you."
Soon, the Floating Sky Boat flew out of the island. Suddenly, flying swords that were dipped in poison flew out like a rain of swords.
Su Chen snorted in disdain. With a wave of his hand, the Fire of Divine Refinement turned into a wall of fire. Before the flying swords could even get close to the wall of fire, they were melted into molten iron.
After the fusion of the skills, the power of Su Chen's Fire of Divine Refinement had skyrocketed. The temperature of the Fire of Divine Refinement had almost reached six thousand degrees. This was the temperature that only the surface of the sun could reach. Under such high temperature, ordinary magical treasures would instantly evaporate. There was no poison that could withstand such terrifying heat.
Su Chen pressed his palm forward. The wall of fire that was a few hundred meters in diameter was like a giant hand that slammed down on the Venomous Sand Formation above the island.
Rumble!
Countless black sand melted in an instant, but new black sand quickly filled the place. The experts of the Myriad Poison Sect had also gathered inside the formation. They worked together to attack Su Chen's wall of fire.
"Daniel Wu, don't go too far!"
An angry voice came from inside the formation. It was the young master, Lin Sha.
Su Chen sat on the dragon-shaped bench on the deck of the Seven Stars Boat. He looked at Lin Sha indifferently and said, "Who are you?"
Lin Sha almost vomited blood. After all this time, he had even forgotten who he was?
"I'm the young master of the Myriad Poison Sect, Lin Sha. We have three Unlivable Tribulation experts. If you don't want to die, take your people and get out of the island."
Su Chen frowned slightly. With a flick of his finger, a huge fireball was thrown in Lin Sha's direction. In an instant, fierce flames burst out and almost blasted a hole in the Venomous Sand Formation. Although the hole was immediately repaired, many sparks still splashed into the formation. It was so hot that Lin Sha jumped around and screamed. He did not dare to approach the edge of the formation again.
"Today, I will destroy the Myriad Poison Sect. Even if the heavens come, they won't be able to stop me."
