Chapter 2222: Chapter 2168–2169: Breaking the Array, Ambushing the Peacock King
“Then how exactly should we isolate this Eight Trigrams Divine Array?” Wan Fayi curiously asked Pang Hong for advice.
The method of isolating the connecting effects of the eight Great Formations of the Eight Trigrams Divine Array, preventing their damage from spreading and thereby breaking them apart one by one, is indeed a good approach.
But the crucial point is, how exactly should we break the isolating formation?
Wan Fayi recalled the many divine powers he had mastered, and the many divine powers he had learned about. Among them, some indeed had such effects, but to consistently isolate the eight Great Formations was not easy.
It must be known that this Eight Trigrams Array is not simple; each Great Formation connects with the others. The sheer surging power crashing among them is enough to rival the offense of some True Immortals.
In such a case, ordinary divine abilities, even if they have such effects, cannot endure or withstand the attacks within.
“Your All Laws Return to One cultivation involves only myriad divine powers and does not extend to the Sword Path, right?” Pang Hong glanced at him, speaking softly.
Though it was a question, his words were filled with certainty, as if he was utterly confident about this point.
“Hmm? Sect Leader, do you know what divine powers I have cultivated?” Wan Fayi asked with a hint of curiosity, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
For a cultivator like him, knowing exactly which divine powers he practiced was not a question the Sect Leader or others would interrogate about, nor necessary to inquire.
After all, for any cultivator, knowing which divine powers and secret techniques one has mastered should not be let out easily to outsiders.
Even their master or disciple generally shouldn’t be privy to this, considering it concerns their very life.
Especially for a cultivator like Wan Fayi, who followed the path of All Laws Return to One, the divine powers he touched upon were many, but which of these divine powers he actually cultivated, no one knew.
Now hearing his Sect Leader speak with such certainty, Wan Fayi didn’t know where the other gained his confidence.
“The Eight Trigrams Sword Array!” Pang Hong uttered four words gently as he gazed at the Eight Trigrams Divine Array.
Seeing Wan Fayi still somewhat puzzled, he continued: “This Eight Trigrams Sword Array was not created from nothing by the Dayan True Monarch. Or rather, it was inspired by the original Eight Trigrams Sword Array.”
This Eight Trigrams Divine Array was entirely familiar to Pang Hong, even intimately so.
The Eight Trigrams Divine Array and Pei Xuanjing’s original Eight Trigrams Sword Array shared a similar working principle. Both involved eight spatial powers interlinked, supporting and complementing each other endlessly.
Therefore, if Pang Hong were to break the array, it would actually be simple; he just needed to deploy the Eight Trigrams Sword Array as well, covering the Eight Trigrams Divine Array, converting the enemy’s power into his own.
Even if the power difference made it impossible for the sword array to overtly replace the divine formation, it could be mingled within, and the opposing forces would negate each other.
After all, the real purpose is to break the formation; if you disrupt the Eight Trigrams Divine Array’s power and render it contradictory and conflicting within, then breaking it is simply effortless.
Somewhere between internal and external forces, exerting power can result in completely different effects. The self-contained eightfold connection of the Eight Trigrams Divine Array means any external force would only tighten their interlocking bond.
However, introducing a chaotic power into this divine formation, making it less pure and incapable of cohesively solidifying, is the simplest method.
According to Pang Hong’s knowledge, this Great Instructor seemed to have also encountered the Eight Trigrams Sword Array, though it was uncertain if he could come to this realization.
……
While disputes within the Divine Land World surged, fierce battles also arose within the Chaos Void Heavens and Seas, and these battles involved Daoist Monarch level powerhouses.
Among these Daoist Monarchs, one was none other than the Peacock King, whose Five Elements Incarnation was recently severed by Pei Xuanjing.
The Demon Race, having withdrawn into the Chaos Void under the leadership of many Monster Gods, had grown exponentially stronger over millennia.
It’s this newly amassed strength and confidence that bolsters the Demon Race’s aim to reclaim their Ancestral Land in the Divine Continent.
For the demon race, the younger generation may have lived solely in today’s Demon Realm, so Shen Zhou Ancestral Land remains a mere concept to them, uncomprehended, their desire to return not fervent.
However, the many Daoist Monarch level Monster Gods among the demons, both old and new, all originally grew from the Divine Land World.
Among the new True Immortal Demon Kings, most were once Supreme Strong participants in the Conferred God War, harboring irreconcilable enmity with the human race.
This, thus, drives the rallying cry among demons to return to the Shen Zhou Ancestral Land and avenge themselves, echoing throughout the Demon Race, silencing dissent.
Indeed, time can erode some elements, as the extended passage has led new generations of demons to forget the Shen Zhou Ancestral Land.
Nevertheless, time also allows grudges to ferment and unquenchable hatred to grow amidst their hearts.
