The crystals left behind by the Calamity Fiends had the effect of breaking through bottlenecks and eradicating calamity! After learning the crystal's effects, the military personnel immediately stepped in to seize them. In no time, the remaining crystals in the field were all collected by the military. As for those already picked up by others, the military couldn't very well snatch them away, as everyone had contributed to defending the city. City Lord Yu very discreetly gave his son a thumbs-up. Yu Lai was overjoyed, as he had taken the opportunity earlier to collect quite a few crystals after becoming interested in their effects. Regardless, the effects of the white crystals spread rapidly. The Tribulation-Averting Crystals immediately became hot commodities. ... Within the territory of the Seven Stars Sect. Su Yuan and Lin Feng burst out from a chaotic secret realm. Both men looked rather disheveled, their equipment damaged, and their auras considerably disordered. "We finally made it out!" Lin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. "Lin Feng, you dropped the ball. How did you fail to block that vicious beast!" Su Yuan complained. "Who knew that guy would suddenly break through! Terrible luck!" Lin Feng grumbled angrily. "At least we got what we came for!" Su Yuan laughed. He opened his hand, revealing an exquisitely beautiful orchid. Looking at this orchid, Lin Feng's eyes also grew hot with desire: "This is a Jade Fat Orchid from the Tai Chi Realm. Consuming it directly can advance a small stage within the Tai Chi Realm!" "That would be a terrible waste. With some refining from me, I can produce a whole furnace of Jade Orchid Pills!" Su Yuan chuckled. "I'm counting on you, Su Yuan!" Lin Feng also smiled. Su Yuan sighed, "Your cultivation speed is just too fast. How much time has passed? You've already crossed the Hunyuan realm and directly reached the Tai Chi Realm!" Lin Feng coughed, "Keep it low-key! Low-key! Aren't you also one of the strongest geniuses the Seven Stars Sect has ever seen?" "You and I are different!" Su Yuan shook his head. "How so?" Lin Feng curled his lip. In his view, both were among the rare peerless powerhouses within the chaos, super geniuses ranked within the top ten across the hundred billion God Realm Seas under the Seven Stars Sect's purview, and both had received substantial nurturing from the sect. Therefore, he highly regarded Su Yuan as a friend. Cultivation, alchemy, artifact forging, formations, talisman creation, beast taming, divination—Su Yuan had reached master-level proficiency in every aspect. It was simply inhuman. If his own cultivation speed wasn't also ridiculously fast, he wouldn't believe such an outrageous genius existed in the world. Su Yuan said, "Alright, let's head back to the sect!" "Agreed!" The two transformed into streaks of escaping light, parting the Chaotic Energy as they headed towards the location of the Seven Stars Sect's headquarters. However, they hadn't traveled far. Su Yuan was the first to stop. Lin Feng's expression changed, and he immediately halted as well, instantly becoming vigilant as he scanned their surroundings. "We've been spotted! Then let's just go for it!" A voice rang out from within the chaos. Whoosh! The Chaotic Energy was temporarily pushed aside as over twenty figures emerged, completely surrounding Su Yuan and Lin Feng. Lin Feng shouted, "Who are you people? What do you want?" From the group surrounding them, a burly man stepped forward. "Heh heh, robbery. Hand over the treasures you just obtained from the secret realm! And all the valuables on your persons. Take everything out, and we might let you live!" Lin Feng swept a glance over the group. Their cultivation was only at the middle or late stages of the Tai Chi Realm. He adopted a tough stance, "I am a disciple of the Seven Stars Sect. Our sect has Near King-level powerhouses stationed within. If you dare make a move, beware of our sect's bounty on your heads!" "Seven Stars Sect disciples?" The burly man's originally fierce gaze instantly turned sharp, the killing intent in his eyes towards the two skyrocketing. The others also looked vicious, even excited. "What's going on?" Lin Feng looked at these people strangely. "Not sure. Seems they have some understanding of the Seven Stars Sect," Su Yuan remarked casually. "Hahaha! I actually ran into lone Seven Stars Sect disciples! I heard killing a Seven Stars Sect disciple drops a golden Luck Crystal. I wonder if it's true! My luck has been a bit down lately, so absorbing a Luck Crystal would be just the thing!" The burly man couldn't help but laugh heartily, "Men of the Black Wind Bandits, take them down!" Hearing the burly man's words, Su Yuan couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth. Their luck was indeed a bit poor, to try robbing the two of them. "What's the plan?" Su Yuan looked at Lin Feng. Lin Feng said calmly, "Half each. I'll take the leader." "Up to you," Su Yuan nodded. "Trying to mystify us! Ignore them, attack! Whoever kills one first gets the extra crystal to use!" The burly man snorted coldly, imperceptibly retreating a small step, positioning his bandit brothers in front of him. "Kill! Kill! Kill!" Everyone charged forward in unison. Three cultivators proficient in formations instantly completed the setup of a Three Talents Grand Formation, establishing a home-field advantage. The remaining twelve Tai Chi Realm cultivators manifested numerous rules, constructing the formation into a complete miniature world. "Restrain!" "Seal!" "Freeze!" 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦 "Darkness!" Various rules were forcibly imposed upon Su Yuan and Lin Feng. The corner of Lin Feng's mouth lifted. His figure seemed to turn into a wisp of gentle breeze, directly vanishing from his original spot. Treating those rules as if they were nothing, he instantly traversed space, closing in on one of the mid-stage Tai Chi Realm cultivators. "Seeking death!" That cultivator shouted sharply, swinging a giant hammer to smash the wisp of breeze. However, the breeze drifted lightly past the giant hammer, appearing extremely soft and gentle. But when the breeze drew near the cultivator, it transformed into the sharpest blade! The cultivator's treasured daoist robe tore apart instantly. A treasured belt at his waist erected a layer of golden shield, only to be shredded into countless golden fragments by the breeze in the next moment. The breeze surged into the cultivator's body, thoroughly destroying his foundational essence. An inner world within him immediately experienced an apocalyptic icy gale. In merely a hundred years (inner world time), the world met its end, its vitality withered! This cultivator's life force dissipated then and there, perishing on the spot. "Old Seventh!" The others cried out in shock, all greatly alarmed. Then their gazes turned furious as they stared at Lin Feng, wishing they could devour him alive right then. While their attention was fixed on Lin Feng, Su Yuan had already deduced the method to break the formation! Several formation flags descended. The originally stable and oppressive miniature world immediately collapsed! Chaotic Energy rushed in, instantly backlashing against the three cultivators who had set up the formation. The three formation cultivators were struck on the spot, their internal magical power churning violently. At that moment, three of Su Yuan's Avatars simultaneously appeared behind the three formation masters, each slashing out with a sword. The three formation masters, unable to resist, were beheaded by Su Yuan, their souls and True Spirits annihilated along with their bodies! "Big Dipper Formation, arise!" Su Yuan manifested seven Avatars, simultaneously casting spells to deploy the Big Dipper Formation. The originally shattered formation immediately transformed into another one. Even the spatial cracks repaired themselves. Seven stars shone with brilliance between heaven and earth, suppressing the remaining eleven members of the Black Wind Bandits.
