Chapter 824 -774: Heaven’s Scourge
The core of the Eight Trigrams Formation is to ensnare. As Pei Xuanjing’s realm advanced, his understanding of this sword technique became even more refined. The so-called trap was no longer just a simple, tangible spatial constraint, but also an intangible bondage.
Take this moment, for instance. Even if someone could shatter the spatial command of the Eight Trigrams Formation and grasp the fleeting opportunity to escape during the reformation of shattered space, the power that composed the Eight Trigrams space wouldn’t cease to exist. In that instant, the eight forces would fuse with the opponent, entwining them, making it impossible to expel in a short amount of time.
It is important to note that the Eight Trigrams Formation was constructed with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi and Pei Xuanjing’s sword qi. As long as the sword qi wasn’t worn down or the connection to the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi utterly severed, then within this timeframe, the Eight Trigrams Formation could reassemble and create a new spatial configuration to ensnare the opponent once more.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, from the emergence of the malevolent god, to its betrayal and assault, and finally to Pei Xuanjing’s subjugation of it.
After trapping the malevolent god, Pei Xuanjing no longer focused on it. No matter how furiously it rebuked or roared, he viewed it only as the whining of a defeated dog, not worthy to be mentioned.
With a wave of his sleeve, he once again brought Qingxu Taoist to his side and said, “I had mentioned earlier that there is a way to recover the losses of your True Martial Sect. Do you remember?”
At this moment, the divine power still emanated from Pei Xuanjing, who seemed more like a god king wielding authority, high above the firmament, rather than the Taoist from Shenxiao Mountain who had been solely focused on pursuing the Tao.
Sensing the might and the manner of speech coming from Pei Xuanjing, Qingxu Taoist, who had also refined and controlled a divine position, clearly understood Pei Xuanjing’s current state.
“I, of course, remember. Please, Zhen King, employ your divine abilities, and I shall offer my full cooperation,” Qingxu Taoist responded, adjusting his address from ‘True Man’ and ‘National Preceptor’ to that of ‘Jade Purity True Monarch,’ which was a way of addressing gods and deities.
