Chapter 1907: Looting Starcatch Tower
“Supremes?” Lu Yun roared with laughter and switched Argent Snow to his left hand. When he punched out with his right, a massive black star blossomed from his hand and exploded in midair.
Kaboom!
The ten supremes targeting Lu Yun shook violently and detonated in unison. Ten magnificent dao palaces appeared in front of him.
When he killed the supreme and high supreme of Rising Sunriver, he’d used too much force and crushed their dao palaces along with their owners. Although they were reborn in hell as its denizens and their dao palaces reformed through the strength of reincarnation, all of the treasures that’d been stored within were gone.
Dao palaces were the equivalent of a minor world. The destruction of a world was enough to destroy everything, unless the item in question was a treasure that wouldn’t be affected by the end of a world.
If those supremes had carried such treasures on them, they wouldn’t have died to one of Lu Yun’s palm strikes.
Of course, if he had controlled himself well enough, he could’ve broken the dao palaces instead of crushing them. The treasures inside would’ve spilled out, but he’d chosen to smash everything for maximum visual effect.
Staying true to his principle of not being wasteful, Lu Yun kept these dao palaces intact after destroying the Starcatch supremes. Ten of them shone gently behind him.
Aghast silence reigned in the lobby.
“Lu Yun, I know what you want, but you need to carefully consider the consequences of offending Starcatch Tower.” Sikong Myriad Treasure remained out of sight while his voice echoed throughout the building.
“No, I don’t want what you think I want. What I want is everything from Starcatch Tower.” Lu Yun’s smile deepened and he took one step forward. Formation glyphs bloomed on the ground beneath his foot, constructing a massive formation that surrounded Starcatch Tower like an enormous net.
“I may not be able to do the same at some of the other places, but I’ll definitely squeeze some treasures out of Starcatch Tower.” He took another step forward and sent out more formation glyphs, creating a second net that also surrounded the building.
Sikong Myriad Treasure considered the development with shock.
“What kind of formation is this?!” He was also a powerful formation master, but he couldn’t decipher Lu Yun’s creation with his level of expertise!
He could neither read nor break it!
“This isn’t a formation, but formula.” Lu Yun raised eyes with black light shining out of them. He smiled at the grand supreme seated at the core of the building. “Or rather, the formulas of formula dao. All supplemental dao comes under formula dao! These glyphs are the dao glyphs of formula dao, not formation glyphs. They can become formations, assemble into talismans, refine pills, forge weapons… All supplemental dao can be derived from them.”
BOOM!
The building shuddered violently when he waved his hand and collapsed into rubble. Although the physical structure was no more, a translucent curtain of golden light maintained its structure for the tower’s contents, fully displaying everything inside to those on Darkstar.
Including Sikong Myriad Treasure seated cross-legged on a cushion.
Sharp gasps of shock could be heard through the major world. Formula dao! Formula dao had destroyed all of Starcatch Tower’s layouts and replaced them!
Their grand supreme hadn’t been able to do anything through the process. Even now he was flustered and at a loss!
Was immortal dao… formula dao really this frightening?
Sikong Myriad Treasure had been one of the five grand supremes that threatened Luo Ming. That meant the grand supreme desired to kill Lu Yun and possessed the strength to do so. The young man naturally wouldn’t show mercy to a prospective enemy. When he visited the faction earlier, he’d taken note of its layouts. It was the perfect opening to make an example out of Starcatch Tower, thereby deterring anyone else who might think to attack him.
All of the building’s secret rooms and treasuries were laid out in front of Lu Yun. He waved an endless stream of enigma stones, ancestral veins of heaven and earth, and other treasures into the dao palaces behind him.
The icy grasp of fear gripped the hearts of Starcatch cultivators. They didn’t dare move. The two formations that Lu Yun had set up emanated solemn killing intent. It wasn’t likely that any of them, apart from Sikong Myriad Treasure, could escape the two nets of light.
“Now, do you want me to personally beat you to death, or are you going to be good boys and girls and send out the treasures stored in your dao palaces?” Lu Yun took another look at Sikong Myriad Treasure. “Of course, I shall leave the grand supreme be. You are a lofty figure, so taking your treasures would be a grave disrespect.
“In the same vein, I’m sure none of you will transfer your treasures to the grand supreme and drag him into this mess, will you?”
This was a blatant threat. He wouldn’t rifle through the grand supreme’s dao palace, but he would search the grand supreme himself! Lu Yun wasn’t going to exercise any restraint, given that he had such a strong backer in the form of the nine clawed golden dragon.
Offend a grand supreme? He wasn’t afraid of that at all. He formed a death feud with Starcatch Tower the moment he destroyed their Darkstar branch—this was a transgression far more offensive than hijacking a Starcatch vessel.
It was a slap across their owner’s face, then stuffing his underwear into his mouth.
This time, Lu Yun would force Sikong Myriad Treasure to take action and have the golden dragon kill him. Otherwise, he would have to be constantly on guard against a grand supreme’s ambush. Nine Claw could block all apparent attacks for him, but there was nothing he could do about schemes from the shadows.
Of course, no grand supreme would wish to offend the nine clawed golden dragon by assassinating Lu Yun—not unless they were one who’d been thoroughly humiliated by the young man!
He was going to kill a grand supreme to warn other grand supremes. Lu Yun couldn’t do it himself, but Nine Claw surely would. He tilted his head back and looked at Sikong Myriad Treasure. The man was so furious that he trembled from the force of his emotions.
“It looks like you guys aren’t willing to then?” Lu Yun’s smile suddenly curved with suffering and he gently lifted his right hand, swatting it through the air.
Bam!!
A moderate explosion rang out as the void shook. All two hundred and thirty-six thousand, eight hundred and thirty-six cultivators of Starcatch Tower exploded in unison. Sixty-three thousand dao palaces materialized in the air and hovered over Lu Yun’s head. The rest dissipated as dust with nothing left.
Lu Yun had killed more than two hundred thousand Starcatch cultivators with a casual wave! Sikong Myriad Treasure shaking turned from fury into fear.
