Chen Luo discovered he could scavenge the minds of the dead.
So he went to a graveyard and scavenge the brain of a deceased Great Emperor, figuring he’d borrow it for a bit.
While other...
Flowerback Turtle and Shan Tao were already tired of watching, and they suddenly began to worry about the enemies coming from the Star Gate. This formation, which looked only fourth-level on the surface, was full of traps.
"How long will it take for the enemy to arrive?"
Sitting in the middle, Chen Luo asked casually.
"Half an hour."
The tortoise pattern on its back flickered, and it and Shan Tao chose a spot near the corner to hide.
"The sacred mountain!"
Three figures appeared in the air. The leader, Shang Xuan Yixu, took two steps, stretched out his right hand and pressed downwards. The power of the spirit was like a water curtain, spreading out layer by layer. The energy of heaven and earth flowing around them instantly changed, all turning into earth-attributed spiritual energy, transforming into a mountain, falling from the sky.
The people from the Star Gate were more direct than they expected. They didn't waste any time and used their killing moves as soon as they met.
The nearly 100-meter-high mountain, with an irresistible impact, collided with the rising formation. Circles of circular formation patterns lit up. The moment the falling boulder touched the formation, it strangely changed direction and smashed heavily to the other side.
boom!!
The mountain crashed hard into the other side, causing a large amount of rubble to fall out.
The direction was affected by the formation and was distorted. A third-order trap formation could affect the direction, not to mention a fourth-order formation that Chen Luo personally controlled.
"Array?"
Shang Xuanyi withdrew his hand and frowned slightly.
"So he's a formation master. No wonder Lu Tianhe was killed by him."
The two people next to him also showed the same expression, thinking that they had found the cause of death of the foreign affairs elder Lu Tianhe. A well-prepared formation master can indeed kill enemies at a higher level, not to mention that Chen Luo himself is also a spirit-transforming cultivator. When fighting at the same level, there are two different concepts with and without formation assistance.
"Fourth-level formation."
Soon, Shi Shang realized the level of the formation. For a Divine Transformation cultivator, a fourth-level formation was just a little troublesome and could be broken with some effort.
"Let me do it."
The female cultivator Zhu Yan on the right raised her hands, and a long green flute appeared in her hands. A faint voice fell from above like a sound wave, and Chen Luo, Huabeigui and the other two in the formation suddenly felt upset, and their souls were also affected.
Under the influence of the sound, a large amount of water vapor emerged from the internal area of the formation.
These water vapors are like mist, without subjective consciousness. They spread out in all directions based on the place where they were born.
If it were flat ground, the valley below would be instantly covered by mist and turned into a white patch. But under the influence of the formation, the automatically spreading mist was offset and directed to different areas, forming vortices. This was the perspective of the person in the formation. If you were trapped in the formation, the straight lines you saw with your eyes and consciousness would most likely be distorted. If you walked according to your perception, you would never be able to get out of the formation.
Shang Xuanyi and the other three did not enter the formation, and the female cultivator Zhu Yan used the spiritual weapon in her hand to break the formation from the outside. This method works for formations below the fourth level. If the formation reaches the fifth level, it is another level.
Just like the cultivation realm, the fifth level corresponds to the transformation of the spirit! In the formation, it is another world.
In the world of cultivating immortals, the description of high-level formations is also very simple. Formations below level five are mortal, and those starting from level five are spiritual!
The spiritual formation combines heaven and earth, and cannot be broken by ordinary means.
"Seven array centers."
Putting down the long flute in his hand, Zhu Yan told the two people around him the information he had learned.
It will be easy once you find the center of the formation.
Shi Shang took a step forward, and drew his sword from his back. The sword energy in the sky formed a torrential rain, and under his control, it fell downwards in the form of a rain of swords. When approaching the formation, the sword energy was also affected by the formation and began to deviate.
"Up!"
Shi Shang stretched out his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and with a flash of light, he forcibly changed the direction of the sword rain.
In the formation, the direction was modified. If they attacked directly, the sword rain would be drawn to the surroundings like Zhu Yan's mist before, forming seven whirlpools. But now it was different. They stood outside the formation and forcibly corrected the direction from the perspective of bystanders.
Boom boom boom!!
As the sword rain fell, the corners of the formation shook, and suddenly a gap appeared. The Flower-backed Turtle and Shan Tao, who were watching the show, were stunned and felt something was wrong.
“Flood!”
Shang Xuan, who had been waiting nearby, flashed and stepped forward. The yellow-brown power spread along his feet, and his "God" was immediately called upon. The surrounding aura changed rapidly under his influence, including Zhu Yan's mist and Shi Shang's sword energy, all of which turned into yellow-brown muddy water at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the weeds on the ground and the mud layer on the surface were forcibly rewritten, mixed in the muddy water, and swept towards Chen Luo, the center of the formation, in a way that swept the world.
boom!!
Shan Tao, who was at the gap in the formation, was hit by the flood on the spot. He flew backwards, blood spurting out of his mouth, and rolled to the side, about to be swallowed by the flood.
These muddy waters are not ordinary floods, but magical powers.
If the supernatural powers of the Spiritual Transformation Realm are really submerged, they will never float up again.
“Get out of the way!!”
The flower-backed turtle was closest to Shan Tao. He grabbed Shan Tao's collar and threw him, moving towards Chen Luo at the fastest speed. He didn't expect the formation to be broken so quickly. The three masters of the Star Gate were even more powerful than expected.
It had just flown halfway when a flood came over.
The brown mud and water seemed to have emerged from the void, cutting off his retreat. At the critical moment, he shrank his limbs and curled his head inside, leaving only a tortoise shell. The remaining strength slammed hard on the tortoise shell, causing a large amount of water to splash.
Then the second and third
These yellow-brown floods seemed endless. As soon as they were exhausted, new forces would come in from outside to replenish them, as if they were endless and had the potential to flood the heaven and earth.
"die!"
Shi Shang took advantage of the situation and appeared in the formation. As long as he could break a hole in it, the rest would be easy.
The long sword in his hand turned into a shadow, and he slashed at the flower-backed turtle, the enemy exposed in the gap of the formation. This sword is a spiritual weapon, although it is only a low-grade spiritual weapon, but if it is cut, it will definitely be severely injured.
Sensing the danger, a layer of light appeared on the turtle's body, and its speed increased several times. The results of enjoying many heavenly tribulations in the Tiannan region were revealed. All the power in his body gathered to one point, and a spiral of breath emerged from his palm, and he slapped it in the opposite direction towards Shi Shang.
But the opponent's Shi Shang did not even stop for a moment, the sword in his hand flashed and split into three.
Bang!
With one strike of the sword, the surrounding flood exploded, creating a spherical vacuum.
All I heard was a scream from the flower-backed turtle, and its limbs and head retracted into its shell. It rolled sideways, hit the water and sank to the bottom. After a few bubbles, there was no sound.
"Senior Turtle?!"
Shan Tao, who was thrown out by the flower-back turtle, came to his senses at this time. He looked at the two enemies who broke into the formation with a shocked face.
With Senior Turtle's strength, he was able to defeat the opponent in just one encounter.
Just at this moment, the third figure, Zhu Yan, also walked in.
The three of them glanced at Shan Tao. On the mission order of the Star Gate, Shan Tao's face was portrayed in great detail.
Phew!
The sword energy swept across, knocking Shan Tao into the water.
This result made Shi Shang frown slightly.
His original intention was to cut the man in half with his sword, but for some reason, he ended up chopping him off. Some invisible force affected him, causing him to quickly collect his thoughts and start checking his surroundings.
poison?
Shi Shang's face changed slightly. He didn't know when he was poisoned. His entire arm turned purple. This feeling was a bit like spider venom, but different. In Shi Shang's impression, spider venom was not so strong.
"Be careful, the stones on the ground are cursed."
Before Shi Shang had time to speak, he heard Zhu Yan's solemn voice behind him.
Zhu Yan, who originally wore fluttering feathers, now had a lot of black air coming out of his forehead, and it was obvious that he was cursed. This curse was not low-level, and it took a lot of time to calm down and remove it.
roar!!
The soil beneath Shang Xuanyi's feet cracked open, and three black corpse puppets rushed out, trying to launch a sneak attack. But before they could get close, they were crushed into pulp by Shang Xuanyi, and their corpses fell down and smashed into the brown muddy water. Shang Xuanyi was in the best condition among the three. He used his "God" to transform the place where he stood into a "flood". Standing on the water, he was invincible.
"There are many tricks, but they can't change the outcome."
Ignoring his two companions, Shang Xuanyi looked forward.
Under the erosion of the flood, the formation nodes exploded one after another, and the figure of Chen Luo, the formation master, also appeared in front of the three people.
A young man in green clothes with a thin face. Unlike ordinary array masters, he held a chessboard in his hand and a black gourd hung around his waist. The moment he saw this man, Shang Xuanyi identified the target. The obscure aura on the mission order was this man.
A 'smart man' who hid in the dark and used his men to launch a sneak attack on their Star Gate.
This kind of person doesn't know Dao Sect, nor its methods, and thinks that he can hide in the dark without being noticed. Little do they know that the sect cultivators have their own natal marks, which are engraved in the sect. Once they die, they will be detected immediately. Hiding in the dark is useless, unless there is a Dao Sect of the same level to help hide their aura. Otherwise, even if they escape to the ends of the earth, they cannot avoid the mark's induction.
"Did you kill Lu Tianhe?"
Shang Xuanyi looked at this person, but for a moment he was unable to see through him.
"I held a funeral for a friend named Lu two days ago. He passed away peacefully." Chen Luo nodded seriously.
The breath is steady and the foundation is solid.
It's no wonder that Lu Tianhe failed if he wasn't a human god. He does have some skills, and he is also a formation master. Judging from the situation of Shi Shang and Zhu Yan, he is also proficient in poison and curse.
"I can give you a chance."
Shang Xuanyi suddenly changed his mind and felt that it would be more valuable to subdue this person.
"Relax your mind, sign the contract, and I will ensure that you will not die."
He took out a roll of animal skin contract from his sleeve and gently threw it to Chen Luo. (End of this chapter)
