Formation grandmasters were all arrogant. Who asked their statuses to be so high? Ordinary unaffiliated cultivators were extremely miserable, they had to search for cultivation resources everywhere. But if an unaffiliated grandmaster was a formation grandmaster, they basically didn't need to worry about this problem. Cultivation resources would naturally be delivered to their doorstep and they could easily join a major power, becoming an esteemed guest.
Hence, this mysterious Grandmaster Di was arrogant and mysterious. No one felt that there was anything wrong with him. In fact, they felt that it was very normal.
Since formation grandmasters were proud, a formation aristocrat clan would naturally be even prouder.
The Yan Clan was a formation aristocrat clan, how could they allow others to profane them so easily? They had gathered many unaffiliated grandmasters to spar with each other. Only powerful grandmasters would be able to become guest elders of their Yan Clan. But now, a single grandmaster actually dared to challenge them? How could the Yan Clan tolerate this?
Hence, outside the Yan Clan's main gate, there was a formation platform that radiated a terrifying formation aura. It was like as long as the formation was activated, it would be able to unleash terrifying might.
On the platform, an old man with a white beard could be seen. Although he was old, he was brimming with energy and vigor. His cultivation base was at the initial-stage of the immortal emperor realm. Clearly, he was also an extremely powerful formation grandmaster. Right now, he was guarding the platform, as though he was waiting for the arrival of this mysterious grandmaster.
The people in the surroundings all knew who this person was. He was an extremely powerful formation grandmaster, a guest elder of the Yan Clan, Grandmaster Mao.
Upon seeing the two figures in the air, Grandmaster Mao coldly spoke, "Newcomer, report your name."
"Di Tian." The black-robed figure in the air coldly spoke. He glanced at the platform and coldly spoke, "Is the Yan Clan treating guests like this?"
"I'm a guest elder of the Yan Clan. The Yan Clan is an aristocrat clan that specializes in formations, if anyone can challenge us, wouldn't there be no peace? There are many people who want to use the Yan Clan to gain fame, you aren't one of them. However, if you want to enter, you must first have the qualifications to do so. The formation on this platform was inscribed by me. If you can break it, you will have the qualifications to enter. If not, you are just someone with an undeserved reputation. Don't embarrass yourself here, just scram."
Grandmaster Mao coldly spoke. He similarly exuded a sense of arrogance. Back then, it was precisely because the Yan Clan invited some unaffiliated grandmasters to discuss about the most outstanding characters in the world of formations that he became a guest elder. However, this Di Tian before him actually rejected them directly and even came to challenge them. By doing this, wouldn't it cause them, the guest elders, to lose face?
"What Grandmaster Mao said is correct. Not just anyone is qualified to enter our Yan Clan. This formation is merely a formation that Grandmaster Mao casually created. If you cannot even break through this formation, then scram as far as you can." The expert who went to invite Di Tian earlier was here as well. He stood at the entrance of the Yan Clan with his hands clasped behind his back, coldly staring at Di Tian.
The eyes of the experts here flashed. As expected, the Yan Clan clearly thought that Grandmaster Di wanted to make use of them to gain fame. Hence, they inscribed a formation platform outside. If this Grandmaster Di couldn't even break through this formation, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to enter. In that case, the one who would lose face would be Di Tian and his reputation would be tarnished. Naturally, this would show that the status of the Yan Clan wasn't a place that just anyone could enter.
On the other hand, even if Di Tian could break through this formation, he would only be qualified to enter the Yan Clan and wouldn't be able to prove anything. No matter how one looked at it, this was beneficial to the Yan Clan. As expected of an aristocrat clan, how could they allow others to make use of them so easily?
Now, it all depended on whether Di Tian could break through this formation or not.
Di Tian glanced at the person who invited him earlier as well as Grandmaster Mao. His expression was very calm and he didn't say anything to them. Actions would always be more effective than words. At this moment, it was time for him to break the formation first.
"Are you controlling this formation from inside?" Di Tian glanced at Grandmaster Mao as he asked.
"Why is there a need for this? The formation has already been completed and it naturally has its own might. There's no need for me to control it." He laughed coldly and took a step forward. In an instant, boundless resplendent runic light lit up. In just an instant, the resplendent light connected to the nine heavens as starlight descended. Clearly, this was a spell formation of the Dao of Emperors.
A fearsome destructive energy erupted forth from the formation. For a moment, the formation platform was filled with a destructive might. Boundless golden lines could slice through everything. If one stepped on the platform, most probably, their bodies would be instantly destroyed.
"What a powerful formation." The eyes of everyone flashed. As expected of a guest elder of the Yan Clan. The formation inscribed by this Grandmaster Mao was sufficient to kill ordinary mid-stage immortal emperors. But this Grandmaster Di was merely an initial-stage immortal emperor. His ability to set up formations has already been proven, but what about breaking them?
Di Tian didn't want to clash with him using formations. The Yan Clan felt that Di Tian didn't have the qualifications to do so. Hence, they first set up a formation platform for him to break. One couldn't help but say that the Yan Clan was very intelligent. If this Grandmaster Di couldn't break the formation, it would truly be a huge loss of face.
"Grandmaster Di, please." Grandmaster Mao stretched his hand out in a very polite manner. However, his lips curled up in a proud smile, as though he was mocking Di Tian. Di Tian had just become famous and he actually dared to challenge the Yan Clan? He truly overestimated his own capabilities. Just this battle alone was enough to make him lose face. As for Grandmaster Mao himself, his silhouette flashed as he retreated from the platform. Just like what he said, the formation was already completed. There was no need for him to control it anymore.
Di Tian stared at the formation as he stepped forward. He stretched out his palms and in an instant, a gigantic heavenly hammer appeared in the air. The head of the hammer expanded rapidly as astral light cascaded downwards, landing on the surface of the hammer. On the surface of the hammer, boundless runic light flowed, interweaving unceasingly, forming a marvelous diagram.
He took another step forward and grabbed at the air, holding the heavenly hammer in his hand. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his arms danced. In an instant, the boundlessly huge heavenly hammer that could cover the entire matrix platform suddenly smashed down. Two resplendent beams of light intersected and collided. On the matrix platform, countless golden threads sliced up, tearing everything apart. Grandmaster Mao coldly laughed. It was as if he could already see the scene of this heavenly hammer being torn apart.
Two incomparably powerful beams of emperor light intertwined. Just when the destructive golden thread slashed against the Heavenly Hammer, terrifying runic diagrams radiated from the surface of the Heavenly Hammer, radiating forth with the power to suppress and seal everything. In just an instant, the golden thread seemed to have been sealed as it was constantly being suppressed.
The two beams of light clashed together with shocking speed. In a short instant, the crowd only heard a thunderous boom as the heavenly hammer slammed down, slamming into the formation platform. A terrifying runic diagram imprinted itself on the platform, directly sealing the formation, causing no aura to leak out from the platform.
Di Tian released his palm, the heavenly hammer dissipated. With a step, he calmly stood on the platform and stomped on the formation.
"This …" The thunderous boom echoed in the air. The eyes of everyone froze as their eyes gleamed with sharpness.
This method of breaking formations was a little too tyrannical. No matter how strong you are, I'll just smash my hammer down and directly seal you. I don't care what formation you are using.
There seemed to be a formation imprinted on the surface of the heavenly hammer. Grandmaster Di's grand sealing formation actually appeared with a single smash of the hammer. This was too tyrannical.
Many people still hadn't recovered from their shock when they saw Di Tian already standing on the formation platform. Some of them had seen formations being broken before but they had never seen such a tyrannical method. So what if your formation is powerful? I've already sealed it, how can you still play? Grandmaster Mao's countenance instantly turned pale.
Their original goal was to make Di Tian look like a fool, smashing Di Tian's reputation. But now that the hammer smashed down, Di Tian's reputation would surely increase. Even if he was defeated in the Yan Clan, he would still be able to accumulate enough fame. He had already achieved his goal of becoming famous. As for him, he had become a stepping stone. In the future, when others mentioned him, they would immediately think that his formation was sealed by a single hammer strike. It was too lousy, there was no value to it. This was no longer an ordinary formation breaking, it was a hammer strike that smashed his formation apart.
That expert from the Yan Clan who mocked Di Tian earlier also froze. His countenance alternated between shades of green and white. This hammer strike was simply too smacking his face.
Di Tian couldn't be bothered with what they were feeling. He walked down the formation platform and walked forward step by step, not even glancing at Grandmaster Mao.
When he came to the side of Grandmaster Mao, he paused and spoke in a light voice, "The Yan Clan sent you here to guard the gate. Is it because the Yan Clan has no capable people or are you too useless?"
This voice was naturally a reply to Grandmaster Mao's earlier mockery. Just this voice alone caused Grandmaster Mao's countenance to turn ashen. His fists were tightly clenched but he had no words to retort. His formation was actually smashed apart by a single hammer strike. That hammer strike also smashed his reputation and his pride. He was a grandmaster in the field of formations, how could he be nothing more than a gatekeeper?
Although this voice was very soft, given the cultivation bases of everyone here, they could all hear it clearly. As expected of a grandmaster character, how could he allow others to humiliate him so easily? The actions of the Yan Clan and Grandmaster Mao undoubtedly wanted to humiliate him, making it so that he couldn't even enter the gate. As for him, he used the most tyrannical method to reply to the Yan Clan, as well as to reply to Grandmaster Mao.
"This formation was merely casually inscribed by Grandmaster Mao. Even if you broke it, what does it represent? It's merely a qualification to enter the gate." That expert from the Yan Clan who invited Di Tian earlier coldly spoke.
Di Tian inclined his head and glanced at that expert as unmasked mockery flashed in his eyes. He coldly laughed, "Lying to yourself like this, do you think everyone here is a fool? Before this, you once invited me to participate in a gathering of grandmasters. Only the most outstanding among them would be able to become a guest elder of your Yan Clan. But now, a guest elder of your Yan Clan only has this little bit of attainments in formations. Let me give you a word of advice, in the future, it's best for you not to do such a shameful thing or you might become a joke. "
After speaking, he walked forward step by step, ignoring the ugly expression on that expert's face and directly entered the gate of the Yan Clan.
Behind him, the fairy maid also quietly followed. Her tall and slender body stood ramrod straight, as if she was proud of him.
