Chapter 2158: Chapter 2104–2105: The Profound Formation, Truly Terrifying
Speaking of Wind and Thunder Master, even as a Guest Elder, being able to oversee a crucial fortress of the Fire God Dynasty is a heavy responsibility. It signifies the trust the Fire Emperor places in him but also reflects the scarcity of talents under the Fire Emperor’s command nowadays.
While assisting the overseas ancient clans to quell the demonic chaos and bring them under control, it was also necessary to allocate forces to help these clans rebuild their homes.
Even though some overseas experts arrived here, they needed to rest and recuperate before they could truly take action.
Additionally, with the Fire God Dynasty’s expansion lagging a step behind the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, there was a need to accelerate this process, leading to inevitable allocation issues.
Although Wind and Thunder Taoist arrived with several experts, once the God formation appeared, he realized it was not something ordinary experts could investigate. In the current Fire God City, only he, the Water and Fire Taoist, and the Red Flame Ancestor were qualified.
However, while the Red Flame Ancestor wielded the Red Emperor’s Divine Sword, his injuries from quelling the demonic chaos had not yet healed. He needed to remain in Fire God City, as only a descendant of the Red Emperor could truly activate the city’s God formation. Therefore, it was up to Wind and Thunder Master’s senior disciple pair to investigate the God formation.
The other supreme strong ones, those ordinary supreme overlords, even if they followed to attempt it, might not necessarily be of help and could even be a burden.
Thus, only Wind and Thunder Master and Water and Fire Taoist could proceed.
Water and Fire Taoist stepped forward, his aura lofty, exuding the beauty of power with his tall and slender body. The Water and Fire Divine Sword at his waist glinted sharply, and he spoke solemnly, “We have come to observe the array. If any underhanded tactics are used against us, we shall counter with our own divine abilities, completely breaking the formation. Cultivators’ words are heeded by heaven and earth alike.”
Upon hearing this, Yi Zhen of the Dayan Sect scoffed disdainfully, “You won’t make it past midnight without my consent, let alone survive till dawn. Why bother with underhanded tactics? We’ve laid down a great formation that will be your burial ground. Stop talking, quickly enter the array, as this is your last chance to survive.”
The other Taoists wore similar expressions of cold smiles.
This was their trump card, as well as their pride. To distrust the God formation would be akin to distrusting their own cultivation path.
“Let’s go. This trifling array could never obstruct our valiant troops. Yet since they wish to battle with arrays, we shall thoroughly defeat them at their most proud point. Let them see what they choose to say thereafter. Enter the array for a look!” Wind and Thunder Master rode atop his Thunder Beast, his expression calm, though deep within, he harbored an unease.
The Taoist Academy naturally taught everything. Although he was not specialized in array formations, he instantly realized this was the Eight Trigrams Divine Array. Understanding aside, he had no idea about the array’s foundation, its weaknesses, or the location of its core.
Especially since this Eight Trigrams Divine Array could communicate with boundless evil qi, concentrating karma—it was utterly unheard of. In his view, this was no God formation; it could only be called an Evil Array, Demon Array, Absolute Array, but never a God formation.
Even if Fire God City had many soldiers to fill the breach, it would still result in manpower losses. Thus, even if the array were broken, it would be challenging to withstand the Great Ming Divine Dynasty’s Great Formation.
The two entered the great formation together, where murderous intent leaked out, terrifying beyond measure, with chilling winds continuously blowing. Even with the Divine Power Heavenly Eye open, seeing reality was difficult.
The first great formation appeared before them, inscribed with “Heavenly Extinction Array.” A murderous aura descended from the Nine Heavens, crushing the firmament. Even without activation, it possessed a terrifying force that made one’s heart falter with fear.
“The Eight Trigrams of heaven and earth, wind, thunder, mountains, rivers; the Heavenly Extinction Array truly lives up to its name!” Water and Fire Taoist sneered, though an adversary, he did not belittle it and instead offered some praise.
Wind and Thunder Taoist nodded in agreement.
They arrived at the second great formation, where blazing flames soared across the sky, connecting with the ground’s veins. True Fire flowed endlessly, terrifyingly fearsome, akin to an eruption of Earth Core Fire, annihilating the heavens and earth; this was the “Earth Destruction Array.”
“The Earth Destruction links with Earth Fire. I thought it would connect with the Netherworld. It seems the array’s attainment isn’t sufficient,” Water and Fire Taoist mocked with a scoff.
Heaven corresponds to earth; just as the Heavenly Extinction bears the killing intent of heaven, the Earth Destruction should logically link with the Nine Netherworld for greater strength. But they utilized Earth Fire instead, decent as it was, it ultimately fell short.
“It’s not that they don’t want to, but that the Netherworld is governed and not something they are qualified to contact,” Wind and Thunder Taoist shook his head at these words.
The Netherworld is enigmatic, even to Immortals and Fairies alike. Such powerful individuals without deep backgrounds can only dream of borrowing the power of the Netherworld.
This Taoist does not lack the will but the capability.
The third great formation saw wild winds howl and rage, continuously roaring. Standing within was as though entering a world of wind, where even an Immortal’s body could fall, crushed; this was the “Xun Wind Formation.”
The wind was no ordinary wind; it was Three Flavors Divine Wind, enough to harm a True Immortal’s immortal body and obliterate the Divine Soul, frightfully formidable.
The fourth great formation felt like stepping into an icy world. Sheets of cold killing intent descended from the void, freezing the three thousand worlds, truly capable of annihilating eternity; this was the “Cold Water Array.”
“Cold Water Array? Not Cold Ice?”
