CHAPTER 44: CHAOS AT LOTUS HILL SECT

"Who are you Junior? How dare you disturb the peace of our sect!" shouted Lin Xiao, the old man in the red lotus pattern robe pointing harshly at Li Shen.

Li Shen kept his eyebrows knitted together, staring at Lin Xiao with an intimidating look. He stepped slowly forward which put him right in front of the sect protector.

The sect protector formation was active, sending out eight pillars of red light that represented the eight laws of goodness. It is also related to the number of lotus petals blooming in this place.

The dome seemed to wrap around the place and all the people inside. Lin Xiao smiled, the protective formation belonging to Lotus Hill was the Sky Rage Lotus, capable of killing many Nascent Soul cultivators in its blast.

"He won’t be able to stop that. Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators are unlikely to survive," Lin Xiao explained.

"Wait, Sect Leader. You’re completely wrong about him. He—"

BLAST!

An explosion happened red in color with a thick puff of smoke, they laughed loudly despite not being able to see what Li Shen’s condition was like. No need to call an ancestor, they could arrogantly defeat Li Shen easily without having to move a hand.

"Go back to practicing. He’s no longer a threat to—"

"I thought that attack would hurt me, it seems to have no effect at all," Li Shen replied, flying away while blowing the red smoke out of sight.

Lin Xiao was shocked with rounded eyes, as were the other cultivators such as the elders and disciples. They again stopped and looked outside the sect, noticing the sky-blue robe man who was challenging the Lotus Hill sect alone.

’Who is he exactly? From his robe suit, it belongs to the Azure Pillar Sect,’ Lin Xiao explained.

’Since when did they have strong cultivators like him?’ asked Lin Xiao, confused.

Li Shen didn’t have much time. He couldn’t break into the sect if he didn’t destroy the sect’s protective wall. That was why he had to destroy the protective formation first.

[Crimson Sky Descent!]

Li Shen formed a hand formation, brought up a ball of energy above his palm and sent those spiritual energies into the sky. A rumble of lightning ensued, black clouds gathered at a single point, right above Li Shen’s head.

In an instant, the figure of the Vermillion Flame appeared and shocked many people, including Lin Xiao. The legendary bird was giant in size and terrifying, along with strong spiritual energy fluctuations spreading throughout all parts of the sect.

’T-This power? This isn’t the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator!’ complained Lin Xiao.

Without a second thought, Li Shen swung his hand down to command his Vermillion Flame bird to go crashing through the protective formation wall.

A clash of spiritual energy between the Vermillion Flame and the protective formation took place, making everyone panic and attempt to save themselves.

Slowly, cracks in the formation wall appeared, getting bigger and wider until they had the potential to destroy the entire protective formation.

The protective formation broke and shattered into small, falling pieces. A burst of energy occurred as the protective formation shattered, pushing away anyone who was close to the edge of the sect.

"What! Who is he exactly?" asked Lin Xiao.

Completely uninjured, that was what happened to Li Shen’s Flame Vermillion bird. The flame bird flew backwards again, hovering behind Li Shen’s top.

"Na Tian! Are you going to keep hiding like a coward?!" snapped Li Shen, his voice echoing to be heard by everyone.

"Presumptuous!" shouted Na Tian.

The man flung his spiritual energy into all parts of the sect, Li Shen stretched out his hand to withstand the energy’s turmoil. The power was quite shocking to Li Shen, at least Na Tian was in the Mid-stage Soul Formation right now.

"Mid-Stage Soul Formation? That’s absolutely zero threat to me!" asserted Li Shen.

"Let’s see if you’d rather focus on your cultivation or go save your juniors!" threatened Li Shen.

Li Shen began to form a quick and complicated hand formation. Lin Xiao ordered the other elders and disciples to start attacking Li Shen. They wouldn’t let Li Shen finish forming his cultivation technique.

"Stay away from me!" declared Li Shen, stomping his feet to create a powerful wave of energy that pushed through the cultivators’ bodies.

"Shut up and face your death!" Li Shen continued.

The man again stomped his foot on the sky floor, causing a spiritual energy pressure to occur and fall on as many as 750 people in the place.

They bowed sluggishly, struggling to stand up. Even those in the Qi Condensation stage could only resign themselves to lying face down on the ground.

"H-He’s... very strong. We can’t fight him," said one of the elders, his voice stammering as he looked at Lin Xiao.

"We can’t... rely on the ancestors. He’s trying to break through to the Soul Formation Peak," explained Lin Xiao, looking back at Li Shen.

[Active 12 Dragon Technique!]

Li Shan brought his hands together, bringing up a magic circle rune under his feet. Out of 12 dragons that could be summoned, Li Shen chose to summon six dragons to help him.

"What?! The 12 Dragons Technique?!" was shocked by Lin Xiao.

"There’s already no hope for us. None of us can match the power of that technique," explained another elder.

’Am I just going to sit helplessly in the face of its terrifying power?’ asked Lin Xiao, clenching his hands until they bled.

"Azure! Tianlong! Yanlong! Yunlong! Jinlong! Qinglong!" called out Li Shen.

Six pillars of light of different colors appeared above the magic runes, enormous pillars with dazzling light, able to pierce the clouds and brighten the sky.

A lightning blue dragon appeared, it was Azure. A white dragon with cloud patterns on its body appeared, it was Tianlong. A red dragon like hot flames appeared, it was Yanlong. An ash dragon filled with a mystical mist appeared, it was Yunlong. A golden dragon appeared, it was Jinlong. And lastly a wooden dragon appeared, it was Qinglong.

"Six legendary dragons of the world! They obeyed and listened to his 12-dragon technique call. Who exactly is he?" asked Lin Xiao.

"The 12 Dragon Technique... destroy them!" commanded Li Shen, directing his hand down to command the Six Dragons he summoned to start raging inside Lotus Hill Sect.

Li Shen patted his magic pouch, then summoned a blue gem and flew it into the sky above the sect. He activated the gem and formed a new formation he could control, the restraint formation.

Blue light shrouded the dome of the restraint formation, making it impossible for everyone who was part of the Lotus Hill sect to escape.

Yanlong Dragon set all the buildings on fire, Azure Dragon struck everyone with its lightning, Yunlong Dragon made them lost in the eternal mist, Tianlong Dragon roared loudly breaking the ear and shaking the earth.

The chaos was beyond anything that had ever happened before. The cultivators in one sect were trapped in the Restraint Formation with them having to fight six legendary dragons in the cultivation world. There wasn’t the slightest chance for them to defeat those dragons.

Na Tian realized his sect was doomed and chaotic. He was forced to put his closed-door cultivation on hold and appeared in the middle of the sect.

It was shocking and staggering for him to see that many of the sect’s cultivators had died horribly, buildings were destroyed and resources were broken.

"SHIT!" shouted Na Tian.

He turned his head, seeing Li Shen still standing outside the sect with his cold face. It made Na Tian fed up.

"You?! After I’m done with this mess, I’ll come and kill you!" threatened Na Tian, pointing at Li Shen.

"Kill me?!" snarled Li Shen.

Li Shen stretched his hand forward, directing his spiritual energy into the restraint formation. The hand-shaped energy managed to choke Na Tian’s neck, Li Shen dragged the man towards him harshly.

Na Tian tried to rebel, but somehow he found it difficult to break away from Li Shen. Just when he was right before Li Shen, Li Shen strangled him with his hands straight away.

"W-Who are you exactly? Why are you so powerful?!" snapped Na Tian.

"I’ll show you something more painful than death. Perhaps, you’ll wish I killed you later," Li Shen replied.

[Dao of Dream Activated!]
