Overriding the Heaven

In that instant, even the male cultivator was stunned by what he saw. His originally long and narrow eyes also bulged out uncontrollably.    

In the next moment, the saber of light slashed down in anger.    

Sssii! *    

The surface of the sea was instantly split open.    

There were a total of five streaks of saber light that kept getting closer and eventually congealed into a wall that rushed towards the male cultivator like a barrage of arrows.    

The blade-light was fast and fierce, like the scorching sun, it released a roiling hot aura.    

The seawater along the way was evaporated in the blink of an eye, turning into rolling white mist.    

The male cultivator was stunned for a moment before he felt a strong wave of air rush towards him.    

A bloody light reflected in those round eyes as it pierced through the white mist and came crashing over.    

"Ya!"    

The male cultivator screamed in shock.    

At this moment, he felt all the goosebumps on his body rise up, as if his soul was about to be cut in half.    

However, the instinct for many years of life and death fighting still made him quickly lean backwards. The instant the black shark blocked him, he activated a formation diagram.    

Previously, Chu Yan saw tens of thousands of sharks densely packed within the illusion array.    

Those sharks, they were all illusions.    

However, there was one thing that was true, and that was the thing that was beneath the feet of the male cultivator.    

However, at this moment, the blade light had already pierced through the shark's abdomen, coming out from its back and twisting fiercely.    

Crack! Crack! Crack!    

In the blink of an eye, the shark had exploded into countless pieces.    

The formation that the male cultivator activated had formed a layer of ice. It was crystal clear, but it gave off a feeling of indestructibility as it stood in front of him.    

However, at this time, Chu Yan noticed that the shark that had just exploded did not spurt out any blood mist or flesh that filled the sky.    

That shark was not a living creature, but a puppet!    

The ones that exploded all over the sky were metal fragments, wood shavings, spirit stones, and some other materials.    

"This male cultivator relied on this puppet just now to dodge my Divine Breaking Wind Lightning." In his mind, he saw the scene of the male cultivator stepping on a shark, moving as fast as lightning on the ocean surface, Chu Yan's heart suddenly moved, the blade light that was originally sent out immediately became weaker.    

Ka-cha! *    

The blood-red saber light struck the ice wall. However, it did not immediately blast the ice wall apart.    

The male cultivator's face immediately revealed a look of ecstasy.    

Using this chance, he glared viciously at Chu Yan, grabbed the storage bag, and threw it.    

In an instant, a huge sea bird flew out and spread its wings. In an instant, it grew larger.    

The male cultivator jumped onto the back of the sea bird and flew forward.    

At this time, the saber light trembled and with a bang, the ice wall exploded. Pieces of ice fell into the sea and created a huge wave.    

However, Chu Yan's gaze did not take a single glance at the ice wall.    

His attention was completely focused on the seabirds that the male cultivator had just taken out.    

The seabird looked like a seagull, but it was at least ten times bigger than a normal seagull.    

And more importantly, Chu Yan was sure that the seagull was not a real demon beast. Just like the shark before, it was a puppet controlled using an array formation.    

Although it was just a glance, Chu Yan could clearly see the traces of metal connecting to the seagull's body, as well as the vibrations of spirit energy caused by the formation.    

"It's just as I thought." With a thought, Chu Yan stepped on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard beneath his feet and immediately chased after the male cultivator.    

The seagull's speed obviously wasn't as fast as the shark from before.    

However, Chu Yan had the intention to catch big fish in the long distance, thus he controlled the Heaven and Earth Chessboard. While maintaining a certain distance from the male cultivator, it also made him feel a sense of urgency, making him have no time to think about other things.    

Chu Yan was indeed a little interested in this fellow now.    

The illusion array that trapped him was vivid and lifelike, as if everything that had happened was happening before his eyes.    

If Chu Yan hadn't been in the Heaven's Edge Sect and knew that this mission was targeted at the Earth Origin Stage disciples, he would have absolutely panicked.    

Furthermore, when he was trying to break through the array, Chu Yan could feel that the array was extremely well hidden, as if it used some unusual method.    

Furthermore, after finding out that this guy was proficient in puppet techniques, Chu Yan decided that he needed to find something of value from this guy.    

"The transcendent is indeed incomparable to the Boundless. The saying that there is an existence beyond the heavens is very suitable to be used here." Chu Yan's eyes focused, "If I did not see it with my own eyes, I'm afraid that I would not believe so easily that a rogue cultivator with such a deep understanding of formations and puppet techniques would actually possess such skill."    

After chasing the male cultivator for around four to six hours, Chu Yan realised that the male cultivator's speed had slowed down.    

Seeing this, Chu Yan knew that they were about to reach the other party's lair.    

Just as Chu Yan expected, after flying for a distance, the male cultivator suddenly disappeared into thin air with a swoosh.    

Chu Yan stepped on the Heaven and Earth Chessboard beneath his feet and chased after him. When he arrived at the place where the male cultivator disappeared to, he extended a thread of spirit energy that was condensed into a thread from his fingertips.    

In an instant, that sparkling and translucent line of silk, like a tree root piercing into soil, disappeared from Chu Yan's eyes.    

"It's a concealment type formation." Chu Yan concentrated his gaze and suddenly, both of his arms swelled up.    

"blood sacrifice technique!"    

BOOM!    

Both his arms swelled up ten times in an instant and pierced deeply into the air. Then, he spread them out in both directions.    

"Creak, creak ~ ~ ~"    

Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and explosions rang out in unison. Immediately, the sound of steel plates being pried open rang out in the air, and at the same time, sparks flew in all directions.    

This time, Chu Yan did not choose to break through the formation, but used the simplest and most violent method to directly tear apart the formation.    

In a moment of effort, Chu Yan forcefully ripped a tear in space that was taller than even a person.    

Through the crevice, Chu Yan could see an island standing on the surface of the sea.    

Surrounding the island were dozens of large ships.    

Most of these ships were in perfect condition. Some had come from mortal caravans, and some even had the sect's insignia on them.    

However, at this moment, these large ships were like trash. They were piled up all around the island and filled with seaweed.    

Clearly, these were all masterpieces created by the male cultivator.    

He used his array dao and the strength of his puppets to plunder the ships that passed by in this region of the sea. As long as they were weaker than him, they would all be taken away by him and his boat.    

Now that they only saw these lonely ships and not a single living person, the fate of the original crew members and cultivators could be imagined.    

Seeing this scene, and thinking back to how he was unprepared and was trapped within the illusion formation, fury surfaced in Chu Yan's eyes. With a wild roar, the muscles on both of his arms exploded like a volcano;    

"Swish ~ ~ ~"    

Cracks were ripped open and the entire formation was immediately thrown into chaos as it exploded.    

A dazzling light flashed. In the blink of an eye, dozens of miles of surrounding sea exploded into a giant ring. The water waves that shot into the sky were at least seven or eight stories high.
