Boom!

A qi explosion echoed, and the solidified space shattered, with killing intent fiercely striking the soul force emitted by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's soul force instantly dissipated.

"Just as expected!"

Jiang Chen's face turned slightly pale, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The black mist around Jiang Chen suddenly surged, and murderous intent appeared from all directions.

The Spatial Path earlier had triggered the formation's deadly attack!

His expression changed as Jiang Chen frowned, realizing that he had been so focused on verifying his suspicion that he had forgotten using other paths would trigger the formation's attack.

As his thoughts raced, Jiang Chen's body radiated a gentle blue light, the Way of Gentle Water!

Soon after, small sparks appeared around Jiang Chen, the Starfire Dao!

Buzz buzz buzz!

When the Way of Gentle Water and Starfire Dao emerged, the surrounding black mist surged even faster, seemingly turning into sharp blades, causing Jiang Chen pain. A dangerous feeling to the extreme surfaced in Jiang Chen's heart.

Cold sweat soaked Jiang Chen's forehead, yet determination shone in his eyes as he fully activated the cultivation technique from The Tome of Dao while simultaneously running the spiritual power trajectories from two sword moves within the Nameless Sword Art.

Buzz buzz!

A faintly heavy aura and a trace of vigor appeared on Jiang Chen's body.

When these two auras emerged, something unexpected happened; the frantically surging black mist abruptly halted, and all the murderous intent vanished!

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his hand, and sensed the surrounding Great Dao aura, a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth; "I didn't expect the Wuying Sword Path to come this way!"

During the previous insight, Jiang Chen had sensed something amiss, so he used the Spatial Path to confine a trace of the Wuying Sword Path's Great Dao power just now.

Although it was only confined for a moment, that moment was enough for Jiang Chen to verify his suspicion.

Now, the situation further convinced Jiang Chen of the correctness of his suspicion!

"Since that's the case, I won't shy away from taking this Wuying Sword Path!"

Jiang Chen muttered with a light laugh, then sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes.

Without perceiving the surrounding Great Dao aura, Jiang Chen fully operated the movements of the Gentle Water Sword, Starfire Sword, Sword of Thick Earth, and Sword of Sprouting Wood from the Nameless Sword Art.

Swoosh swoosh!

Buzz buzz!

Sword shadows appeared on both sides of Jiang Chen; the left sword shadow formed by gentle flowing water, and the right by small sparks, while heavy aura and gentle vigor appeared on Jiang Chen's body again.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Suddenly, black mist rotated around, forming a vortex centered on Jiang Chen, spinning rapidly, growing ever larger!

"What is going on!?"

"What happened?"

"What's wrong?"

"Did the black mist riot?"

Cries full of confusion echoed as cultivators entering the black mist all felt the surge.

"Wine-crazed senior, what is happening?"

Outside the black mist, everyone noticed something amiss, and Chen Zhenhua and a few others gathered around Wine-crazed again.

"I'm not sure either, this doesn't seem to be the formation's autonomous change."

Wine-crazed frowned, a trace of puzzlement in his eyes.

Chen Zhenhua and the others paused for a moment, simultaneously turning to look at the Wu Family.

The Wu Family members also showed a hint of confusion in their eyes, even Wu Youliang appeared bewildered.

"Could it be... someone has received an inheritance!?"

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out.

Everyone felt a shiver in their hearts, collectively looking toward the black mist, eyes showing diverse emotions.

The Wu Family members' faces instantly darkened, their gazes towards the black mist filled with tension.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

As time passed, black mist within a ten-mile radius all began to spin, with the vortex center located not even two miles away.

Gradually, all the black mist within ten miles entered the vortex, forming a massive dark mist tornado towering a hundred meters high, with the tornado's center stationed at a spot, unchanged, whilst the other areas were void of mist, fully revealed to everyone.

"Yu Yan!"

Qin Chaolan immediately spotted Lin Yuyan thirty meters away, ready to rush over.

"Hold on! The grand formation is not broken! The annihilation formation is still active!"

Wine-crazed swiftly blocked Qin Chaolan, speaking in a deep voice.

Qin Chaolan paused, halted at the original edge of the mist.

"Someone must have realized something, otherwise it wouldn't cause such a commotion!"

Zheng Wuyou spoke with a somber expression; he glanced at the figures emerging as the mist formed a tornado, confirming that none from their Wuyou Island caused this.

"Check who hasn't appeared yet!"

Tang Lin scanned the emerging figures, a gleam of light flickering in his eyes.

"It's Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen hasn't appeared!"

"It's him! Could this tornado have formed because of him?"

"What did he realize? Could he have already received the inheritance?"

Various forces began discussing feverishly.

Wine-crazed paused, eyes suddenly bursting with joyous exhilaration, if Jiang Chen indeed received the Shadowless Sword Emperor's inheritance, it would be greatly fortuitous!

Chen Zhenhua and other leaders of various forces squinted their eyes, exchanged glances, and shared a quick exchange.

Everyone nodded collectively, then signaled their Integration Realm cultivators with an eye.

Integration Realm cultivators from major forces took a few steps toward Wine-crazed, faintly forming a surrounding stance.

Though Wine-crazed was the strongest present, he was merely one person, being a minor realm stronger than other Integration Realm experts. Apart from him, over a dozen Integration Realm cultivators were present; if they joined forces, killing Wine-crazed wouldn't be unthinkable.

Moreover, they didn't intend to kill Wine-crazed; he was one of Changlin Academy's four great powers, and killing him would incur Changlin Academy's wrath; they merely needed to stall him.

As for what to do after stalling him, that was well understood by all!

Noticing the Integration Realm cultivators' movements, a cold glint flashed in Wine-crazed's eyes, his expression instantly darkening as he looked towards the black mist tornado with a hint of worry.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

The Divine Infant Realm cultivators who had already revealed themselves leaped to the leaders of various forces, Lin Yuyan also returned to Qin Chaolan's side.

"Master, the grand formation is still active, but there's no trace of Great Dao aura!"

Yun Tao whispered to Wine-crazed after coming to his side.

Wine-crazed gently nodded, eyes fiercely focused on the towering black mist tornado, his expression solemn, heart tense, for if Jiang Chen truly received the Shadowless Sword Emperor's inheritance, they might soon become the target of all forces!

Rumble rumble rumble!

At that moment, suddenly, a series of booming sounds erupted.
