The five cities once again entered a period of stable development. There were many things waiting to be done as new forces appeared or moved in.
Some were cultivating in seclusion, some were training outside, and some were doing business. Everyone had their own duties, but from their expressions, one could feel a trace of relaxation in the depths of their hearts.
Yes, the Sword Demon Sect that posed a serious threat to the five cities had already been destroyed. After experiencing this calamity, those who survived felt fortunate. However, they did not know that the Sword Demon Sect's calamity was only a minor one. An even greater calamity was approaching.
In the depths of the fourth floor of the underground cavern, the Seven Kings and Chu Mu laid down the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation. They surrounded the Gold Sinner King, who had reached the peak of the third refinement, to prevent it from leaving. They constantly attacked in an attempt to kill it.
The roars were endless, and the sound waves blasted out. The Gold Sinner King waved his arms, stirring up the surroundings. The air became as viscous as water, and an incomparably terrifying pressure appeared. Wave after wave, it was endless and boundless as it blasted out in all directions.
As the Gold Sinner King continued to exert its power, its aura became stronger and stronger. The pressure also became stronger and stronger. Chu Mu and the Seven Kings' expressions became serious. They did not dare to be distracted in the slightest. They tried their best to maintain the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation, because the slightest carelessness would cause it to break.
As the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation operated, the eight of them became more and more familiar with each other. Chu Mu's understanding of the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation deepened.
"The Gold Sinner's weakness is the same as the other sinners. It's the heart. Attack its heart and dig it out. That'll be enough to kill it," King Mysterious transmitted his voice to Chu Mu.
Chu Mu nodded. With both swords in hand, he locked onto the Gold Sinner King's heart and took the opportunity to attack.
However, the Gold Sinner King's golden membrane had astonishing defensive power. It was incomparably tough. Chu Mu's swords only caused light injuries. They could not penetrate it at all, let alone the heart.
The Gold Sinner King counterattacked with a punch. Under the golden fist, a vacuum was formed. Its terrifying power could instantly shatter a mountain as it ruthlessly attacked Chu Mu.
Chu Mu grasped the trajectory of the Heart Sword, but he found it difficult to dodge.
The Gold Sinner King's punch had a great momentum. It was as though the world was in his fist. Even Chu Mu could feel the trajectory. He was enveloped in all directions. He could only take it head-on.
The two swords crossed, and a cross shaped sword light instantly slashed out. Blazing like the radiance of the sun, they instantly collided. Immediately after, Chu Mu raised his sword vertically and used Lonely Peak Everlasting Sword Technique to defend.
With a boom, an incomparably powerful force erupted from the point of collision between the golden fist and the sword. The impact spread out in all directions, and Chu Mu only felt an incomparably domineering force that instantly impacted the sword. The spirit sword seemed to be unable to withstand this overbearing and powerful force and issued a mournful cry.
The powerful and domineering force passed through the sword and impacted Chu Mu's palm, causing his palm to tremble. His five fingers seemed to have been hit by a giant hammer, and even his arm trembled from the impact.
Chu Mu reacted quickly. He hurriedly used the Diversion Technique to divert this powerful force. He then guided part of the force to the ground under his feet, causing cracks to appear and quickly spread out.
If it were any other time, such a powerful punch from the Gold Sinner King would have blown Chu Mu apart, not to mention blocking it. Even if his Divine Body had reached the peak of Level Nine, it would have been useless. The difference was too great. However, under the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation, Chu Mu's strength had been greatly enhanced. Although there was still a gap between him and the Gold Sinner King, the gap was not that big.
After resisting the Gold Sinner King's punch, the seven Kings' swords all attacked the Gold Sinner King.
The Secret Sword Killer Moves of their respective inheritances were performed without any pressure under their swords. They were as fast and smooth as ordinary sword techniques. This was something that the six stars could not compare to. The difference was like heaven and earth.
Moreover, the Secret Sword Killer Moves performed by the six stars had astonishing momentum. One could tell at a glance that they were very powerful. The same Secret Sword Killer Moves performed by the seven Kings were different. There was no momentum, and all the power was completely contained within the sword. It turned into a Sword Light and shot out. The Sword Light made Chu Mu feel as if it was a whole new world.
With the strength of the Second Refinement and the power of the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation, the power of each of the seven Kings' Secret Sword Killer Moves was enough to threaten the Gold Sinner King.
The Gold Sinner King's expression did not change, but his eyes were extremely cold. The golden light on his body became thicker and spread out rapidly. It then gathered in an instant, turning into a simple and even crude armor that covered his body. It formed the outermost layer of protection and blocked the Seven Kings' Secret Sword Killer Moves.
The armor shattered, but the Gold Sinner King's body did not suffer much damage and recovered instantly.
This scene made the seven Kings' expressions become very serious.
The Gold Sinner King had a strong body and superb self-healing ability. More importantly, the Gold Sinner King's strength was above theirs. If it were not for the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation that boosted the strength of the eight of them, they would not have been able to resist at all. Even so, they could not kill the Gold Sinner King. They could only trap him.
Now, it had become a tug of war.
However, if they consumed too much of their strength, the Gold Sinner King might find an opportunity to break out of the encirclement. Once he broke out, they would not be able to stop him.
The Sinners had amazing endurance. No matter how they fought, their strength would not be reduced. It was impossible to wear down the Gold Sinner King's strength through attrition.
Now, there was only one thing, and that was that they had to kill the Gold Sinner King. They had to have absolute strength and strength.
How could they have enough strength to kill the Gold Sinner King?
An extremely strong defense and astonishing self-healing ability. Perhaps they had to have the strength of the Fourth Refinement to be able to kill the Gold Sinner King.
"Right now, we are not strong enough. We can only trap the Gold Sinner King temporarily. We have to think of a way to increase our strength and dig out the Gold Sinner King's heart," Flowing Light King said telepathically.
"Young friend Chu, you should have a secret technique that can instantly increase your strength, right?" King Xuanmiao asked.
"Yes, ten times," Chu Mu quickly replied telepathically.
"Good. With our current strength boosted by the battle formation, a tenfold increase will allow us to reach the pinnacle of the Third Refinement. However, this is still not enough to threaten the Gold Sinner King. Young friend Chu, let's maintain the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation for a while and strive to let you have a deeper understanding of its mysteries." King Xuanmiao said, "Wait until you have a certain level of understanding of the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation, then use the final transformation of the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation to concentrate its power on one of us, giving him the strength of the Fourth Refinement to kill the Gold Sinner King."
"Okay."
"Let's do that."
The others all agreed. Although their strength would be depleted, it could be replenished. Maintaining the current formation and the stalemate with the Gold Sinner King would be able to last for quite some time.
Chu Mu immediately felt the pressure. They were basically placing most of their hopes on him.
However, this was a good feeling. Chu Mu had always been very confident in his comprehension ability.
The Eight Saints Everlasting Formation was an extremely profound battle formation. It could be said to be the pinnacle of Saint-level formations. This was also the reason why the seven kings had taken a fancy to it.
Chu Mu's comprehension ability was astonishing, even surpassing that of the seven kings. This was a fact. However, the seven kings had spent far more time immersed in the battle formation than Chu Mu. Chu Mu had only just unlocked the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation. It was already extremely shocking that he could reach such a level.
Since they wanted to let Chu Mu further familiarize himself with the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation, the seven kings did not expend any extra energy to attack the Gold Sinner King. They only needed to surround him. This way, the consumption of energy would be reduced and the formation would last longer. After all, the seven kings were not certain how long Chu Mu would need to fully understand the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation and grasp the final transformation.
Only by fully comprehending the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation and grasping the final transformation would he be able to unleash the final power of the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation. Only then would he have any hope of killing the Gold Sinner King.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Although they did not use their full strength in this battle, it was still a high-intensity battle.
The second day … the third day …
The Gold Sinner King's temper seemed to have become very irritable. It could not kill anyone, nor could it break out of the encirclement. The long period of encirclement had made it very angry. However, its strength was only at the peak of the Third Refinement and not the Fourth Refinement. Otherwise, it would have been able to break out of the encirclement.
On the fourth day, Chu Mu's voice was heard.
"Seniors, I think I have fully understood the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation."
"Good."
"There's no time to lose. Bring out your full strength immediately."
"However, who should the final transformation of the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation focus its power on?"
The seven kings were about the same in terms of strength and fighting strength. They were all veteran experts, while Chu Mu was a new generation expert.
Who should the final transformation of the formation focus its power on?
After all, once the final transformation of the formation's power was concentrated, it meant that the strength of the other seven would quickly recover to their original level. At that time, if the Gold Sinner King seized the opportunity, it was very likely that they would be able to break out of the encirclement, and some of them might even be killed. This had to be guaranteed. Whoever received the final blessing of the Eight Saints Everlasting Formation had to kill the Gold Sinner King in the shortest time possible.
"Seniors, if you trust me, let me do it," Chu Mu said telepathically.
"Young Friend Chu, you should know the current situation."
"I know, so please hold on for a while longer. I will prove it to you," Chu Mu said.
Under the state of the Heart and Sword as One, Chu Mu locked onto the Gold Sinner King's heart and looked for an opportunity to attack with both swords.
The sharp Sword Light pierced through the void, crossing the void. Time and space could not stop it at all. It accurately hit the Gold Sinner King's heart, but it was not powerful enough to pierce through.
After a few times, the seven kings understood.
"Everyone, the power of the Eight Saints Everlasting Transformation will be concentrated on Young Friend Chu," King Xuanmiao said. There was no objection, and he made the decision immediately.
