This enmity, Ye Yuan never forgot about it.
Now, Ye Yuan’s feathers were already voluptuous and no longer had any scruples!
Hence, he launched an offensive toward Jiu Shang!
Chapter 2222. Challenging Formation |
At Fiendflame Mountain, Jiu Shang Bodhidharma.
Not long before, this place was bustling and was the strongest Heavenly Emperor Bodhimanda in the vicinity.
But now, Fiendflame Mountain appeared very withered.
More than a thousand years ago, Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang returned, being seriously injured and did not have time to explain anything. He fell into slumber.
Now, Fiendflame Mountain was currently in a state of the mountain pass being sealed off.
In the mountains, more than ten fiend race True God Realm powerhouses were currently patrolling.
A fiend said, “Sigh, this sort of wretched days, no idea when it will come to an end!”
“Isn’t that so! Thinking about back then, how glorious was our Jiu Shang Bodhidharma? Whenever we aren’t happy, we’ll go and capture some slaves to play with from the nearby human areas. Now, we’re almost becoming cowardly turtles!”
“Heh, I heard that Lord Jiu Shang already woke up not long ago! Very soon, we’ll be back out there!”
The moment the others heard, they were immediately incomparably invigorated.
This sort of wretched days, they seriously could not stand it any longer.
“Is it true? Reiter, you mustn’t lie to us!”
Reiter chuckled and said, “Of course it’s true! Actually, Lord Jiu Shang already woke up 200 years ago, but his injuries were too severe. He could not leave the mountain for some time. I even heard that it was a human junior who inflicted those heavy wounds on him. After he recovers his strength, he’ll find that brat to settle the scores!”
“Excellent! These shitty days have finally come to an end!”
The group of fiends was currently thrilled when suddenly, several dozen black dots approached from afar, flying over towards this side.
“Humans! Hiss … Several dozen Empyreans?! What a terrifying line-up! Q-Quickly go back and report this!” Reiter’s expression changed drastically and he turned around, wanting to flee.
But unfortunately, it was already too late.
A youth in white clothing stepped out of the void and arrived before the fiends.
Reiter’s heart shook wildly, this youth in white was not old, but the pressure he gave him was akin to lofty mountains.
Nowhere to escape, Reiter could only toughen his scalp and bow down.
“Reiter offers greetings to the human race’s Lord Empyrean!”
Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and said coolly, “Where’s the entrance?”
Reiter was startled inwardly and said, “Your Excellency, our Fiendflame Mountain is already sealed off …”
Rumble!
Ye Yuan flicked his finger, several True God Realm fiends by the side directly turned into flying ashes.
Reiter’s expression changed wildly and he said, “Y-Your Excellency, follow me.”
At this time, several dozen Empyreans tore across the sky and arrived with a howl.
A monstrous wave even surged in Reiter’s heart. These Empyreans’ strength, each and every one of their auras was incomparably powerful.
It seemed like … the arrivals did not have good intentions!
Reiter led the group of Empyreans and arrived at the entrance area of Fiendflame Mountain.
The entire Fiendflame Mountain already activated the mountain protecting grand array, completely sealing shut the entire mountain pass gates.
People from the outside world could not enter it at all.
“Human race Empyreans, please halt! Advance any further and we’ll activate the mountain protecting grand array, and annihilate you all!”
The Empyreans had not arrived in front of the mountain pass gates yet when a warning voice came from within the grand array.
Several dozen Empyreans appearing at the same time, this commotion was seriously too big, wanting to conceal it would not even work.
Reiter cautiously sneaked a peek at Ye Yuan, feeling rather disdainful in his heart.
Fiendflame Mountain’s mountain protecting grand array was the result of Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang expending a huge price to ask a fiend race Eight-star Formation God to lay down. Its power was immense.
This grand array could even block a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, and yet this guy actually barged over so impetuously? Wasn’t this looking for a rebuff?
While talking, the mountain protecting grand array already activated, emitting waves of terrifying pressure.
The group of Empyreans that came together, each and every one of them also revealed looks of surprise.
With rank eight divine rank grand array, wouldn’t eradicating a few Empyreans be easily accomplished?
But just as everyone was in shock, Ye Yuan took a step out and directly entered the grand array without the slightest hesitation.
The Empyreans turned pale with fright and cried out in surprise, “Master Ye!”
Courting death! Reiter sneered coldly in his heart to no end.
Over at the grand array, Empyrean Cloudburst who was maintaining the array formation sneered coldly and said, “Truly a reckless and blind thing! Master Moji’s Black Goblet Sly Fiend Formation, even Lord Jiu Shang himself don’t even dare to clash head-on. A mere Empyrean actually dares to barge in!”
Finished talking, his hand-seals moved rapidly, the mountain protecting grand array started operating frenziedly.
Fiendish energy surged. A pressure that did not lose to a Heavenly Emperor suddenly descended.
Countless streaks of black light suddenly lit up and smashed over toward Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan standing in the grand array alone appeared extremely insignificant.
The grand array surged with fiendish energy as if it had the might of heaven and earth.
That sort of feeling was like Ye Yuan standing on the shore alone, facing a tsunami that came roaring.
Empyrean Cloudburst’s gaze turned intent, and he said with a cold yell, “DIE!”
Empyrean Cloudburst was a Seven-star Formation God himself. Controlling the array formation was naturally done with high proficiency.
Such a large formation, in addition to having someone controlling it, the power could not be imagined.
The human Empyreans’ hearts leaped to their throats. This energy undulation was too terrifying.
Each ray of black light was sufficient to one-shot an Empyrean!
This was a true emperor-level grand array. This was far from what Empyreans were able to resist.
Even though they knew that Ye Yuan’s array formation was formidable, this was a rank eight divine rank grand array after all!
Bang, bang, bang …
Countless terrifying attacks landed where Ye Yuan was standing.
But right at this time, Ye Yuan’s figure suddenly moved, taking a step.
Then, those countless berserk attacks instantly turned into nothing!
The sound of the thunder was loud, but the rain was little.
The astonishing momentum turned into smoke curling up in the air!
Empyrean Cloudburst trembled all over. His pupils constricted as he cried out in surprise, “This … How is this possible? How does he know that that’s the formation eye? Could it be … a coincidence?”
The human Empyreans were shocked until they broke out into a cold sweat, only then, letting out a long sigh in relief.
They discovered that they still underestimated Ye Yuan!
For Master Ye to dare challenge the formation by himself, he naturally had assurance.
However, some Empyreans’ brows also furrowed together.
What was the use of Ye Yuan entering alone?
While at this time, Ye Yuan took out a divine essence stone, then pointed at the void. The divine essence stone turned into
a cloud of mist and disappeared.
Following that, he took another step out, moving forward again.
Empyrean Cloudburst’s gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, “Impossible! It must be a coincidence! This Empyrean studied painstakingly for over 100 thousand years in order to fully control this set of array formation! But he only took one look and he found where the formation eye is?”
A rank eight divine rank array formation was incomparably difficult to understand, practically already touching Heaven Dao.
Even if he was a Seven-star Formation God, thoroughly controlling this set of array formations expended tremendous effort too.
Even so, he only merely controlled it too.
A rank eight divine rank array formation was not what he could comprehend at all.
Although this brat in front of him was an Empyrean, he was too young. It was simply impossible to see through the array formation with one glance.
Hence, the spells in his hands urged once more, the grand array activated once again.
The clouds and wind surged!
But, when those countless terrifying attacks landed, Ye Yuan took another diagonal stride.
All of the attacks dissipated without a trace once more!
Then, he took out a divine essence stone again and pointed at the void, turning into a cloud of mist once more.
“This … Just who the hell is this young man?”
“No way, right? Could it be that the mountain protecting grand array actually can’t stop an Empyrean?”
“This brat wouldn’t be Master Moji’s disciple, right?”
… …
Inside the grand array, the fiend race powerhouses were all unbelievably shocked.
Chapter 2223. Very Superficial |
Empyrean Cloudburst became more and more alarmed!
At this point, if he still could not perceive Ye Yuan’s Formation Dao strength, then he would be a fool.
Ye Yuan’s every stride stepped on a formation eye.
As long as it was on a formation eye, no matter how he urged the array formation, he could not harm the other party.
But the crux was that wanting to find every formation eye was far too difficult!
Rank eight divine rank array formation was eternally changing, akin to a world evolving.
The complexity involved, ordinary martial artists could not gauge it at all.
But Ye Yuan only took one glance and understood?
Cold sweat poured profusely out of Empyrean Cloudburst’s back. He was scared by Ye Yuan.
This guy was Lord Jiu Shang’s enemy?
Just what kind of a freak did Lord Jiu Shang provoke?
“Humph! So what even if you can crack the formation? A mere middle-stage Empyrean Realm, could it be that our Jiu Shang Bodhidharma is still scared of you?”
Empyrean Cloudburst laughed coldly and transmitted his voice through the array formation. He said, “All Empyreans head for the mountain pass gates and gather!”
The voice was like thunder, spreading to every corner of Jiu Shang Bodhidharma.
For some time, more than ten black shadows sped like the wind, flying towards the mountain gates.
When they saw the Ye Yuan above the void, each and every one of them was shocked speechless.
A mighty rank eight divine rank grand array actually could not stop an Empyrean?
“All of you prepare well. Once this punk successfully breaks through, you all will encircle and finish him off!” Empyrean Cloudburst said coldly.
The moment the other Empyreans saw Ye Yuan’s realm, they could not help revealing disdainful looks.
“Cloudburst, you’re also kicking up too much of a fuss over nothing! A mere middle-stage Empyrean Realm scared you until like this?”
“Yeah! You alone are sufficient too, right? Call us over for what?”
Empyrean Cloudburst frowned and said, “This brat is a little mysterious! Right now, Lord Jiu Shang is seriously injured and hasn’t recovered. It’s better to be safe and make provisions for contingencies!”
Hearing Empyrean Cloudburst said so, the others could only shut their mouths.
Furthermore, Ye Yuan was actually able to rush the rank eight divine rank grand array. They were also indeed extremely surprised.
Inside the grand array, Ye Yuan advanced unhurriedly. It was as if strolling idly in a courtyard.
Half a day later, Ye Yuan finally walked to the end of the grand array.
The final formation eye!
Empyrean Cloudburst’s gaze turned sharp, and he said with a cold cry, “Everybody, prepare!”
More than a dozen Empyreans also had solemn faces, all accumulating power, awaiting release, planning on giving Ye Yuan a lethal blow after he broke through the array formation.
Ye Yuan stood still and took out another divine essence stone, and pointed at the void.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the entire Jiu Shang Bodhidharma started shaking violently, as if there was an earthquake.
Crack …
Crack, crack, crack …
Above the void, one fine fissure after another actually appeared on the Black Goblet Sly Fiend Formation.
The fissures grew longer and longer, larger and larger.
Empyrean Cloudburst’s eyes were full of shock. He was already unable to control the array formation!
The rank eight divine rank grand array … collapsed!
Back then, Heavenly Emperor Moji spent several hundred years of time in order to set up this grand array.
But now, it crumbled apart in an instant.
For a moment, there was flying sand and rolling pebbles, hills toppling and the earth quaking.
The entire Jiu Shang Bodhidharma fell into chaos.
Empyrean Cloudburst looked at that frail figure above the void blankly, a look of astonishment on his face.
A Seven-star Formation God cracked a rank eight divine rank grand array?
This world was too crazy!
One had to know, passing through a grand array and destroying a grand array, these were two totally different concepts.
A rank eight divine rank grand array, each formation eye was interlinked with each formation eye, forming a perfect ensemble.
The grand array operated, without rest.
Wanting to find a hint of flaw from hundreds of millions of pieces of information, and to destroy it, this was absolutely not the work of a single day!
Furthermore, destroying the formation was a hundred times, a thousand times harder than setting up the formation!
But Ye Yuan only walked one round in the grand array and wrecked it?
He, Empyrean Cloudburst, spent more than 100 thousand years just in order to control this array formation!
Was this fellow still human?
“You … How did you do it?” Empyrean Cloudburst muttered.
Ye Yuan looked down at Empyrean Cloudburst and said coolly, “Those who find it hard don’t know; those who know won’t find it hard. This array formation is very superficial. Cracking it isn’t difficult.”
“S-Superficial?” Empyrean Cloudburst smiled bitterly. He felt that his brain was not quite sufficient to use.
He was truly unable to imagine that a rank eight divine rank array formation would one day actually be described as superficial by someone!
Rank eight!
The rank of Heavenly Emperor!
No matter which Dao, as long as it reached rank eight, it already scaled the mountain and looked down upon the world!
Formation Dao, Alchemy Dao, Talisman Dao, Sword Dao, so on and so forth, without exception.
And reaching this rank was as hard as ascending to the heavens regardless of which Dao.
Just like when Empyreans broke through to Heavenly Emperor, the difficulty involved made people despair!
Formation Dao entering rank eight was Heavenly Emperor level array formation.
Now, it was actually said to be superficial by someone!
How aggr
avating!
But Empyrean Cloudburst also had no choice to admit that Ye Yuan had the qualifications to say this sentence.
Along the way, Ye Yuan did not need the slightest effort when rushing the formation.
Saying that it was superficial … did not seem to have any issue.
These several decades of amnesia had huge significance to Ye Yuan.
His understanding of Alchemy Dao and Formation Dao already transcended the appearance, and he glimpsed right at the source!
The rank eight divine rank array formation that seemed gigantic was merely constituted out of one small array formation after another in Ye Yuan’s eyes.
No matter how powerful the array formation, it could not escape this scope.
Just like solving a mathematical problem, one could have several kinds, even several dozens of simple algorithms.
However, when encountering a truly complex problem, one would discover that these simple algorithms were all not useful anymore.
And at this time, the most basic calculation method became an omnipotent calculation method!
No matter how complex the mathematics problem, it could not break away from the scope of basic calculation methods!
Therefore, was there any meaning to researching one plus one equals two?
The significance was too great!
Alchemy Dao was like so, and Formation Dao was also like that.
Rank eight divine rank array formations were strong, but in Ye Yuan’s eyes, it was merely a pile of matchstick frames.
He took out a few pieces of matchsticks and the frame fell apart.
Just that simple!
It was just that these things, even if he said for Empyrean Cloudburst to hear, the latter also would not understand them.
Those dozen over Empyreans stood there in a daze and did not know what they should do for a moment.
They mustered everything up to kill Ye Yuan, but all of a sudden, the house collapsed!
Now, the entire Jiu Shang Bodhidharma was exposed.
But there were … several dozen human Empyreans outside!
“Hahaha … truly broadened my horizons! Rank eight divine essence array formation collapsed in an instant! Younger Brother Ye, your Formation Dao strength is probably already not beneath your Alchemy Dao!” Empyrean Chaoyuan recovered from the shock first and said with a big laugh.
