Array formation, weapon refining, alchemy, talismans...
These things that have something to do with the word "craftsman" are not something that can be accomplished overnight. Compared to the entire 19 continents, the history of the Jiyu is still too short, and it is impossible to accumulate a foundation comparable to that of the 19 continents.
The Yama Kings present here are not brainless people.
This female cultivator who has now entered the Eighteenth Level of Hell and even trapped Sima Languan was just a gimmick they created.
In order to save your life, it is inevitable to have a few killer moves.
Even the Six Meridians Divine Mirror that this female cultivator had used before was given to her by the Eight Directions Yama Palace through Zhang Tang.
But now, she has surpassed everyone's expectations and become a popular candidate for competing for Ding Yuan, and she even has such superb attainments in formation.
It really leaves no room for doubt.
It was normal for the Emperor of Song to have murderous intentions.
Even King Qin Guang, who ranked first, was not immune to this.
He finally walked down from the hall slowly, and paced down the stairs. His steps were steady, but inexplicably gave people a sense of coldness and tension.
A pair of hands were clasped behind his back, hidden in his sleeves.
With just a slight turn of his five fingers, a ray of light climbed up onto the purple gold ring he was wearing.
No one could see whether he was ready for a thundering blow; just as no one could tell whether there was a murderous intent hidden beneath his calm words.
"I was born with a good command of formations. I've experienced this before in Jiyu..."
The second hall is the King of Chujiang, who has been in Jiyu for a long time and has known King Qinguang for a long time.
Hearing this, he exclaimed, "Huh?" After a brief thought, he remembered, "King Qin Guang is talking about the one who was very appreciated by you at the beginning, but finally insisted on reincarnating as an emperor in the world?"
"good."
There was a hint of smile on King Qin Guang's lips, but his gaze at Jianchou in the light curtain was cold and contained a kind of suspicion that was completely different from a smile.
After King Chujiang mentioned this, the other Yama Kings also remembered something.
At first, he was an emperor who was skilled in deploying troops and battle formations. After his death, he entered the City of the Dead and was noticed by King Qin Guang. He was very talented in battle formations, far surpassing the level of the Jiyu at that time.
Unfortunately, this man later asked King Qin Guang for a favor and changed the book of life and death. He was reborn as a human and became an emperor.
After the six reincarnations and four lives, no one paid attention to him anymore.
Because once a person passes through the reincarnation pond, they lose all their memories of the past. The so-called "talent" will also be washed away and annihilated, and can no longer be compared with the previous life.
They all have a certain impression of this person.
But now that I mention this person...
Emperor Song frowned, his eyes showing some gloom: "Your Highness Prince Qin Guang, do you think that this female cultivator is not weird, but a genius?"
"Just be patient..."
King Qin Guang just shook his head, took another step forward, and stood closer to the light curtain.
The image on the screen gradually moved closer as he wished.
All the finger gestures used by Jianchou to manipulate the formation were clearly presented in front of him, of course... including Jianchou's neck.
It's so close that I can pinch it with my hand.
"It's already the eighteenth floor, almost there..."
It’s almost over, and the winner will be decided soon.
So don't rush.
"Send someone to check her life and death record..."
King Qin Guang narrowed his eyes slightly, put his hands behind his back, and stood tall.
In the eighteenth level of hell, the situation at Sima Languan has begun to become critical.
Once the formation is trapped, an overwhelming attack will come.
However, the constraints of gravity made it extremely difficult for him to move, and almost half of the attacks that he could have dodged within the range of the formation fell on him.
He felt that his entire body was being oppressed by gravity.
It was as if it was pressing down on his internal organs and causing them to collapse towards the ground!
"puff!"
A mouthful of blood, carrying the essence of soul power, spurted out from his mouth and spilled onto the dark ground, shocking to the eye.
All the soul power in the body became sluggish.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
…
The formation continuously drew power from the black jade of the original formation plate, forming new attacks that came from every corner of the formation, falling like a torrential rain!
"See, worry—"
The clenched teeth are the sound of extreme hatred!
Sima Languan's entire face was distorted, and the scar on the hideous half of his face was actually showing signs of invading the handsome half.
He could hardly control his body. He tried his best, but was still pushed down suddenly. With a "bang", he knelt on one knee!
Jianchou was clearly right in front of him, but he was unable to attack or even touch her!
What kind of formation is this
Who designed it
How could it possibly fall into Jianchou's hands!
Sima Languan couldn't figure it out, and he didn't have the time to figure it out.
The terrifying gravity and pain were constantly destroying his body, causing deep white blood to splatter all over the ground, weakening him bit by bit, and causing a roar similar to that of a wild beast to come out of his throat...
Seeing sorrow was only a stone's throw away from him.
Seeing all the sufferings of Sima Languan, she only remembered the young Zen monks Lekong and Meng Xizhou whom she met in the Killing Red World.
The Nineteen Continents is her world.
He should never have blocked my way.
Looking at Sima Languan, there was no pity in Jianchou's eyes and heart. He just said "sorry" lightly.
Afterwards, without even looking at Sima Languan's expression, he flew towards the ruins in front!
At this moment, countless people inside and outside the Eighteen Levels of Hell were shocked and puzzled.
This is already the eighteenth floor, why is she still running
Shouldn't we take this opportunity to kill Sima Languan directly, or force him to withdraw, so that we can become the "Ding Yuan" who finally stays on the eighteenth floor
Why did she let Sima Languan go
Countless people don’t understand.
Finally, there was a smart one who suddenly thought of something: "While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits! There is no guarantee that there won't be other people coming down. If she runs to the ruins first to hide, won't she be able to sit back and watch the fight? How smart!"
When people around heard this, they all agreed.
But in reality…
That's not the case at all.
The formation is blind and too powerful. It will not recognize the so-called "master" at all. Although Jianchou can attack Sima Languan together, he will also be attacked by the formation.
It's not worth it.
Second...
She just wanted to quickly reach the Shi Tian Creation Array and pass through it!
God knows what kind of opponents she will encounter if she stays here any longer, and what tricks and skills the opponents will force her to use.
The more she fights, the less she will use her trump cards, and the more flaws she will reveal.
Up to now, the only things that would not leave any flaws on her were a few array plates made in the Extreme Domain, and a final trump card -
Four-elephant white jade crown.
It’s almost too late.
She must get out of here as soon as possible!
It was like a gust of wind sweeping by, and wherever she passed, the dry grass on the ground seemed to be blown down by the wind and crawled on the ground.
The vast ruins in front of her quickly drew closer into her field of vision.
The city gate had collapsed, and only the ruins of the city wall remained, and it was almost impossible to recognize its original appearance. The various buildings in the city were even more dilapidated and collapsed, with only broken, old rotten wood left, pointing blankly at the gray-blue sky.
The huge stone pillar stands alone in the middle.
The closer you get to the ruins, the clearer the sense of grandeur and decadence becomes.
Jianchou could almost feel the oncoming desolation, which revealed the ruthlessness of time and the world. It seemed as if something was buried beneath the ruins, and as if there was something hiding in the ruins, just waiting to roar up to the sky!
She had entered this level earlier than Sima Languan.
But he was being hunted by this man at the time and did not have enough time to investigate the situation around him. He just glanced around the altar and decided to "lure the enemy into a trap".
Only now did I have time to observe.
Too big.
According to what she and Zhang Tang and others had speculated before, the Eighteen Levels of Hell would get bigger as they went on, and would reach a limit at the eighteenth level.
There is a warden on each previous level, and every time you pass through the well, you will appear at the edge of a layer of hell, while the warden of the new level is at the edge of the other end.
But the eighteenth level of hell is an exception.
When I appeared here, there were fields all around me, and it seemed as if there was no boundary in sight.
But Jianchou knew that the eighteenth level of hell also had boundaries!
The boundary here is the ultimate purpose of her participation in this grand event of the cauldron competition—the Shitian Creation Array!
This formation is located at the border between the Polar Region and the Nineteen Continents where yin and yang are blurred.
The Eight-Directions Yama Palace Formation seals the boundary between Yin and Yang, thereby severing the connection between the Polar Region and the Nineteen Continents for a certain period of time and avoiding war.
It can be said that the eighteenth level of hell is the border between the polar regions and the nineteen continents!
It’s as if this is an underground world, and by crossing it, you can return to the ground.
But this is just the most superficial and easiest to understand idea.
In reality, the situation she faced was much more complicated.
The ruins before my eyes were truly too huge.
The sound of Sima Languan being attacked by the formation behind her suddenly disappeared from her ears when she stood in front of the ruins. All she could see in her mind and eyes was this deserted city and the vast ruins!
Everything you see is collapsed and sunken.
Huge beast footprints could be vaguely seen on the dust on the ground. On the broken city wall, it seemed as if some patterns had been drawn in blood, but they were also broken and could not be seen clearly.
What was this place originally
Who lives in the city
How did this city become the ruins it is today
Countless questions popped up at this moment.
But when she released her divine sense, she was unable to detect even a single skeleton in the ruins, whether human or animal - this was definitely not normal.
Jianchou was extremely cautious.
Although the person stopped, her feet did not touch the ground, nor did she leave a single footprint in the dust.
At this time, she just infused her soul power, and her whole body burst out with a lustrous luster like purple jade, like one feather after another, carrying her body upwards.
Getting higher and higher.
Higher and higher…
What a huge ruin this is
She was suspended above the ruins, like a shadow floating in the gray-blue sky, almost blending into it, just like an ant facing the huge sand city, so small, so insignificant...
But her vision is constantly expanding...
The angle also changes rapidly as the altitude increases.
The outline of the entire ruins gradually became complete; the situation in the ruined city also gradually became clear; the scene hidden by the ruins also appeared in the shadows...
Behind the majestic ruins of the city is a black wasteland!
There was not a single weed on the ground, as if it had been burned clean by the raging fire, leaving only countless cracks of varying sizes.
They are hidden on the black ground and in the Gobi hills of all sizes, exuding a kind of empty, devouring aura, as if thousands of ghosts can emerge from it at any time!
A long dim river, originating from nowhere, spreads from one end of the wasteland to the other...
This reminded Jianchou of the scene he saw in the Ghost Axe.
Those ghosts that emerged from the ground to fight with the monks from the Nineteen Continents, the rolling Yellow Springs pouring down, and the majestic axe that split the Yellow Springs!
Yin and Yang battlefield!
Behind this piece of ruins is actually the place where the war between Yin and Yang took place!
Jianchou almost gasped, but what shocked her even more was the edge of this wasteland, the end of the underworld!
A grey chaos!
The wasteland disappeared there, and the soil turned into gray gas after entering that chaos; the river ended there, and the Yellow Spring water disappeared into scattered stars after entering that chaos.
That's a fault!
It was a chaotic turbulence!
There were only faint, dim lights of various colors, which lit up violently, flew around, and then quickly collided, extinguished, or formed new lights, just like thunder and lightning...
The moment Jianchou's gaze turned in that direction, almost immediately a terrifying deterrent force rushed towards her along the direction of her gaze and hit her mind hard!
She lost her balance and nearly fell from mid-air!
But at the same time, a long-lost joy surged up uncontrollably and madly!
The Heaven-shaking Creation Array!
Shrouding this area of turbulent nothingness is the way home she has been searching for for so long, the Heavenly Creation Array that the Fairy in the Mist has pointed out to her!
