Li Yu activated his Qi vortex, his golden eyes suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light, and his eyeballs spun rapidly.

Countless energy threads darted through the golden eyes, reflecting every energy pattern within the great formation.

Golden Eyes rapidly analyzed the energy flow trajectory, core nodes, and the energy source hidden deep within the ravines at the base of the array.

All forms of energy connection are laid bare in the golden pupils.

In just a moment, Li Yu had already seen through all the weak points of the formation, as well as dozens of vital points that could destroy it.

"All show and no substance!"

Li Yu chuckled, his voice piercing through the great formation and clearly reaching Zhao Jianan and the others through the chaotic energy flow:

"Although the stored energy is abundant, it is mixed and impure. The person who built the array is an amateur. The foundation is superficial, and the process and details are pitifully crude."

Although Li Yu was not an expert in formations, he had studied them for a period of time in Yangcheng and Liyang and knew many of their principles.

Although the formation before them was impressive, it was far inferior to the Longevity Gate formation that Monk Jingshi had previously broken.

This also shows that this is just a small outpost of the Changsheng Sect, and even the key formation is full of loopholes.

"court death!"

Zhao Jianan couldn't help but shout angrily. He thought he was too arrogant and had taken Li Yu seriously enough, but he never expected Li Yu to be so arrogant!

"How dare you! What do you, a lowly commoner, know about formations?!"

Even the most arrogant person has a bottom line! And even the most unruly behavior needs to be backed by some kind of backbone!

He could not tolerate Li Yu's arrogant slander.

Faced with such a powerful formation, what is a mere Awakened One? The combined power of Li Yu and the Firebird is utterly worthless.

"Let's see how you die today!"

Zhao Jianan exerted his power again to control the formation. The countless bluish-gray chains that surged out of the formation increased their speed by three points and emitted energy powerful enough to imprison gods and demons. Like a chaotic dance of demons, they rushed fiercely in front of Li Yu and the phoenix.

At this critical moment, Li Yu made a move.

He made a move that left everyone speechless—

He actually loosened the fully drawn bowstring, raised his right hand with his five fingers spread, and aimed it at the most turbulent and crucial nodes of the lower array's energy.

"What is he trying to do?! Has he given up resisting?" an old man exclaimed.

"Could it be that he knows he is no match for them and wants to seek his own death?" Another person also felt that Li Yu was looking for death.

"He's going to try and break through a powerful formation with his bare hands? Has he gone mad?!"

Zhao Jianan also frowned, puzzled.

Although he didn't understand what Li Yu wanted to do, a sense of alarm ran through him, and that bad premonition rose again.

Instinct made him react immediately, frantically mobilizing the energy of the great formation and driving several of the thickest and largest chains to directly block the ravine and reinforce the defense.

But as soon as Zhao Jianan gave the order, Li Yu reached out and grabbed it.

That seemingly ordinary hand, just this unremarkable grab!

It was as if it had pierced through the void, ignoring the defensive chains, and directly grasped the core node several feet below!

"Smash it!"

Li Yu clenched his fists tightly, and the distorting power in his hands, which involved the essence of space, suddenly erupted!

With a loud "crack!", it was as if dozens of invisible crystals had been crushed at the same time.

"boom--!"

A tremendous, heart-pounding roar suddenly erupted from the ravine!

Zhao Jianan hurriedly looked over and was horrified to discover that the space at dozens of key nodes in the formation was simultaneously undergoing extremely terrifying distortion and depression.

The stable spatial structure around the core node of the formation has been completely destroyed!

White spatial cracks instantly spread wildly from those few shattered points, and a chain reaction of collapses erupted at the speed of light from every shattered node.

The base of the great array could no longer withstand the spatial destruction that originated from its very essence, and shattered like a fragile glass mirror!

"No!!" Zhao Jianan tried to save the formation.

However, as the base became unstable, the entire formation collapsed as if its supporting foundation had been removed, after suffering repeated spatial damage.

All the energy nodes hidden in the ravines went out of control, and the surging energy lost its outlet, frantically impacting every line of the great formation.

The next moment, everyone witnessed a sight they would never forget.

The entire [Eternal Life Locking Heaven Array] emitted a violent and unstable wail! This triggered a chain reaction of energy backlash!

"Boom!!!"

Amidst violent ripples of energy, the great formation exploded with a deafening roar.

Together with those violent energy chains, they disintegrated into the most primal energy light points.

From the depths of the ravine below, muffled, continuous explosions echoed!

Those were the sounds of the various energy cores of the great formation collapsing and exploding, one after another.

The earth trembled and rocks cracked.

The massive energy-storing array, considered the ultimate trump card, was completely dismantled by Li Yu in just a few breaths...

"How could this happen!?" Zhao Jianan exclaimed in disbelief.

This is a massive formation that consumes countless resources; it's a power capable of crushing any awakened being!

He was unconvinced; he didn't believe it!

Zhao Jianan instantly pressed his hands to his forehead, attempting to re-establish his connection with the great formation.

But as soon as his mental energy touched the turbulent currents of the formation, he was struck by the backlash of energy, which caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood and fly back several meters.

The elders of the Longevity Sect behind them screamed in agony. They were connected to the great formation by energy, and the violent energy poured into their bodies directly through the connection point the moment the hub collapsed.

Several people were severely injured at the same time, spitting out blood, and the wind energy beneath their feet instantly dissipated.

One by one, the old men fell from mid-air to the ground, crashing onto the rocks in the ravine below with dull thuds.

Suspended in the wind prison, Hei Yi clenched his fists tightly, despair replaced by wild joy in his eyes: "It's shattered! The great formation is really shattered!"

Black One then shattered the barely hold-up wind prison with a single punch. Black Two and Black Three, freed from their confinement, were still utterly astonished, their mouths agape.

Watching Li Yu dismantle a killing move comparable to a military formation with just a simple grab, they were amazed.

The two felt that their previous understanding of "strong people" had been completely overturned. Li Yu was not only a hero of Zhongzhou, but also a hidden ultimate existence!

Li Yu slowly withdrew her right hand from the sky, and the spatial rifts around her quickly dissipated.

Without the support of wind energy, Zhao Jianan unleashed his power, using all his strength to stabilize himself in mid-air. He clutched his chest, which felt like it was about to explode, with blood continuously spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"I...lost?"

His eyes were unfocused, filled with confusion and incomprehension.
