Chapter 742: Chapter 413 A Preliminary Test of Skill_3

But.

Just as he was strategizing in his mind.

He saw Chen Mu step out from behind the giant spiritual leaves and walk toward the Spirit Human settlement ahead.

“Elder Chen?”

Fang Yuan was slightly taken aback, only to see Chen Mu move forward a few steps, and in a matter of hundreds of feet, he was near the Spirit Human settlement.

And since the settlement’s formation was connected to the Xunmu, almost at the next moment, as if triggered by Chen Mu’s approach, surges of Xunmu power howled and rose, with spiritual light encompassing twenty miles around the settlement climbing towards the heavens, eventually connecting at a high point to form a verdant curtain, which enshrouded the entire settlement within.

The Xunmu Formation was fully awakened!

Chen Mu heard Fang Yuan’s words. He also knew that Fang Yuan’s suggestion had some feasibility; indeed, it was possible to try to conceal one’s aura, bypass the formation, and sneak into the settlement early to destroy a node and weaken the Xunmu Grand Formation.

But he did not intend to do so.

Sneaking in quietly, if detected before destruction, would still require one to withstand the formation’s power from the inside, and the situation could instead become dangerous. If Ling Huan, the Spiritual Ancestor, suddenly made an appearance, one might become trapped and unable to escape.

Moreover, he was now more interested in testing the power that his Qiankun Martial Body possessed against the Xunmu Grand Formation.

Whoosh!

Almost in the next instant, Chen Mu’s figure turned into an afterimage. In a flash, he spanned a distance and was already up close to the edge of the formation that protected the entire settlement. Then, raising his right hand, he fiercely brought down a Fist Seal.

This punch, like a falling star, carried the tremendous force of Qiankun, condensing into a Heaven and Earth Wheel Seal, striking the surface of the Formation Light Screen. It seemed as if the whole space was vibrating in that instant, the Void rippling like the surface of water, while the Formation Light Screen covering the settlement flickered violently, as though it had suffered a terrifying blow, emitting an overwhelmed humming noise!

Crack! Crack!!!

Under Fang Yuan’s almost incredulous gaze, Chen Mu’s punch cracked open a white rift nearly ten feet long in the Void and brutally crushed the surface of the Formation Light Screen, tearing a huge hole in it!

After shattering the Formation Light Screen, Chen Mu’s punching momentum did not stop but spread directly to the inside of the Light Screen, over the large settlement, and then, following Chen Mu’s intent, the force gathered from a singular point and spread, instantly forming a ten-foot-wide giant Fist Seal that thundered down.

“What?”

“What’s going on!”

“The formation has been… This is impossible!”

From the moment the Xunmu Grand Formation awoke to Chen Mu’s fierce action, it all happened in the blink of an eye. Many members of the Spirit People Race hadn’t even reacted yet, and some had just stepped out of the buildings, looking up to the sky.

And it was precisely this look that allowed them to witness Chen Mu’s punch fall, shattering the Formation Light Screen to pieces, then the punching force breaching the inside of the formation, forming a vast Fist Seal stretching tens of feet, pressing down with catastrophic force like the collapse of the heavens!

A wave of shock!

“That’s bad.”

“Run!”

The Spirit People Race members closest to the impact saw the Fist Seal fall and finally reacted. But by then, the oppressive force of Qiankun had already descended, almost suffocating them. Many struggled to breathe and could barely move; they could only watch helplessly as the Fist Seal came crashing down.

Boom!!!

The tens-of-feet-wide Fist Seal finally smashed down, and the buildings at ground level, as well as some of the Spirit People Race, were nearly instantaneously crushed to dust. The shockwave released by the descending Fist Seal reverberated in all directions, spreading hundreds of feet!

A large number of buildings crumbled and collapsed, countless Spirit People panicked and fled in all directions, and some were so stunned that they didn’t know what to do, engulfed by the spreading waves and reduced to splinters in an instant.

In a single strike.

The Formation Light Screen was penetrated, an area spanning tens of feet was obliterated, a huge and obvious Fist Seal was left on the foundation of the Xunmu at the bottom, and the shattering spread in all directions for hundreds of feet, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation and desolation!
