"Your words are enough." Tongtian Daoren smiled. "The God-Slaying Array Plate contains my understanding of all arrays, as well as the order to activate the thirty-six arrays. This will save you a lot of time, and it's also a gift from your teacher." As Tongtian Daoren spoke, his hand suddenly moved, and the God-Slaying Array Plate beneath his feet floated into his hand. The next second, a dazzling golden light shone on the God-Slaying Array Plate. Tongtian Daoren pointed at Gu Yu's forehead, and Gu Yu immediately felt a strange connection, along with a flood of memories rushing into his mind.
"Disciple, your master still has some remaining will and power, so let me do something for you!" The next second, Tongtian Daoist directly embedded the top-grade source stone into a groove in the God-Slaying Array Plate, which was the core of the Ten Directions Shifting Array.
The God-Slaying Array immediately started operating, and the next second, Gu Yu's vision blurred, and they found themselves in the treasure vault of the Black Bull Royal City.
"Teacher." Gu Yu was somewhat surprised to see the treasure vault before him. How did Tongtian Daoren know that he wanted to come to the treasure vault?
"Hehe..." Tongtian Daoist looked at Gu Yu and smiled. "Disciple, I don't have any gifts. When I was giving you the array plate to recognize as your master and instilling my insights into you, I also read some of your memories. This treasure vault is not bad. Most importantly, there are two top-grade source stones. You can take as much of the rest as you want."
“Teacher.” Gu Yu’s eyes reddened upon hearing Tongtian Daoren’s words.
"Go quickly!" Tongtian Daoren said, "Although the God-Slaying Array Plate has been crafted by your master with the utmost effort throughout his life, and its energy consumption is much less, your top-grade source stone, even at full energy, can only maintain it for a quarter of an hour."
Upon hearing Tongtian Daoren's words, Gu Yu immediately began to dart through the treasure vault. With his source space, he had no need to worry about running out of space. The hundred-square-meter treasure vault was completely emptied by him in just a few minutes.
Seeing that Gu Yu had emptied the treasure vault, Tongtian Daoren activated the God-Slaying Array Plate in his hand once more, and Gu Yu immediately returned to the source stone mine. The only top-grade source stone embedded in the array plate was now somewhat dull.
"Disciple, give me another top-grade source stone," Tongtian Daoist said. The next second, Gu Yu took out a top-grade source stone and handed it to Tongtian Daoist.
"You went to the treasure vault?" Upon seeing the top-grade source stone, Long Yuan's expression changed immediately, but no one answered his question.
After receiving the top-grade source stone, Tongtian Daoren inserted it directly into a groove on the array plate. The next second, the array was activated, and the array plate started operating again. A powerful suction force emanated from the God-Slaying Array Plate, and the surrounding source energy swept towards the array plate with the force of thunder. The top-grade source stone, which had been somewhat dim when it was first embedded, began to slowly light up.
“Disciple, after activating the Source Gathering Array, you can charge those embedded top-grade source stones,” Tongtian Daoist said. “This way, you won’t have to worry about the embedded top-grade source stones running out of energy and recovering slowly. Of course, this is also my first time using it, and it seems to be working well.”
"Teacher!" Gu Yu suddenly called out to Tongtian Daoren, his eyes already filled with tears, because Tongtian Daoren had become much more ethereal, a sign that he was about to disappear.
"Disciple, this is the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Array you set up, isn't it!" Tongtian Daoist didn't say anything. He floated the array plate in the air to absorb energy, then drifted towards the area where Gu Yu had set up a quarter of the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Array. He observed it for a few moments. "You want to detonate the array's core and then detonate this source stone mine, right?"
"Mm!" Gu Yu nodded.
"The idea is good, and the formation is well-arranged." Tongtian Daoist nodded in praise, looking at the Six Harmonies Demon-Suppressing Formation, which was already a quarter complete. "However, it seems you've spent quite a bit of time on it. To fully complete this formation, it will probably take at least half a month. Today, I'll show you how your master sets it up."
After Tongtian Daoren finished speaking, he instantly floated into the air, his hands forming hand seals as he chanted, "One connects to two, two connects to four, one connects to a hundred..."
Instantly, countless high-grade source stones floated up and began to fall in an orderly fashion to their designated places at an extremely fast speed.
"Disciple, this is my Heavenly Connection Technique, specially used for setting up formations. You must learn it well!" Tongtian Daoren said to Gu Yu, and then continued to concentrate on setting up the formation. His formation-setting speed was a hundred times faster than Gu Yu's.
Gu Yu's eyes were also fixed on the Tongtian Daoist in the air, completely absorbed, while the Tongtian Daoist became increasingly illusory.
In Tu Niu City, Long Aotian fought against eight opponents and still maintained the upper hand, while the eight Minotaur Kings were completely suppressed by Long Aotian.
The other human kings, whose already disadvantaged situation improved considerably because eight minotaurs had left, were now in a much better position.
Meanwhile, the Minotaur army had fully stormed the city, and human casualties increased dramatically, though still several times less than the Minotaur casualties. However, despite this, they were still destined to fail, as fewer and fewer humans were left to fight. They were now struggling to hold on, and even the Dragon Clan students had joined the battle, with those of higher cultivation charging forward and those of lower cultivation providing cover with firearms.
Of the 50,000 human defenders, less than 10,000 remain, and even more than half of the dragon clan's students have perished.
Of the 700,000 Tauren army, only 20,000 to 40,000 remained. However, those who had fought until now were all formidable fighters.
Long Aotian's primordial spirit, Lü Bu, relentlessly attacked the eight King Realm experts with his halberd. The eight King Realm experts were increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed. No wonder Black Wind Abyss was defeated! This Long Aotian was simply inhuman; his combat power was too damn abnormal. He had been fighting for so long without showing the slightest sign of exhaustion.
"Lord Manqi, if you don't make a move soon, we're going to lose!" A peak King Realm expert shouted into the distance after being blasted away by Long Aotian's Fangtian Halberd. He was furious. Hei Fengyuan, their strongest, was acting like a madman, ignoring everything and constantly doubting himself.
The envoy from the Bull Kingdom, the key figure, hasn't shown any intention of making a move yet, treating them as cannon fodder. They've suffered too many deaths this time, a huge loss for the Black Bull Kingdom. Of the six great kingdoms, the Black Bull Kingdom ranks third, but even if they win this battle, they'll drop to last place. How could he not be furious?
Even if they kill all the humans in the city, as long as Long Aotian and the human kings are not dead, they will not have breached the city. Moreover, they still have an important objective to achieve: to test whether the human gods will intervene. As long as the human kings are not destroyed, the gods will not intervene.
"Sweep across the heavens." Long Aotian fought with increasing ferocity. His Lu Bu primordial spirit was like a war god at this moment. His powerful fighting spirit made the Minotaur King Realm warrior fighting against him somewhat terrified.
"Eight Powers Combined into One." The eight minotaur kings instantly unleashed their ultimate move. At this moment, the eight seemed to merge into one, and a huge black energy bull emerged, immediately meeting Long Aotian's sweeping attack across the heavens.
boom………
A massive energy shockwave and a deafening collision resounded in all directions. Long Aotian's figure was instantly thrown back more than ten meters in the air. Of the eight Minotaur Kings, only three were at the peak of the King Realm. The other five Kings coughed up blood. However, the black bull formed from energy still stood unharmed in front of the eight peak Kings.
The combined skill of the eight of them was already at the Emperor level in terms of combat power and strength, yet even so, it only made Long Aotian take a few steps back.
"Black Bull Charges to the Sky!" The eight people exerted their strength at the same time, and the black bull's legs immediately emitted an incomparably sharp and indestructible light as it charged towards Long Aotian.
As Long Aotian watched the energy black bull crashing towards him, his primordial spirit Lu Bu suddenly appeared in front of him. Lu Bu's eyes were bloodshot, and the next second, the halberd in his hand shone with golden light, and a buzzing sound rang out continuously.
The Red Hare beneath him exerted its strength instantly, charging towards the energy black bull like an asteroid hitting the earth. At this moment, the primordial spirit Lü Bu and the Red Hare beneath him felt as if they could overwhelm a thousand troops.
"Overwhelm a thousand troops!" The primordial spirit Lü Bu roared.
Rumble...
A tremendous collision resounded, and a devastating impact sent Long Aotian and the eight Minotaur Kings flying backward.
The eight kings of the Minotaur race coughed up blood as they were being thrown backwards.
Of course, this collision also left Long Aotian feeling quite bad. Lu Bu's primordial spirit became somewhat dim, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of Long Aotian's mouth, his chest heaving continuously.
Despite fighting for so long, he was still injured. But in everyone's hearts, whether they were minotaurs or humans, Long Aotian was only one word: strong, damn strong.
"Haha..." At this moment, Long Aotian suddenly laughed loudly, his eyes fixed on the Minotaur army camp. He didn't care about Black Wind Abyss or the combined forces of the eight King Realm experts, because his opponent this time was not these people, but the old man in the army camp. Although the old man had not shown his face and had been hiding his aura, he could not escape Long Aotian's primordial spirit perception.
"Aren't you going to make a move? I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't make a move soon, I'll kill these trash," Long Aotian said.
"Lord Manqi, if we don't act now, our plan will fail. We won't be able to explain ourselves then, but will you be able to?" A peak-level King Realm member of the Minotaur race cried out, clutching his chest.
"Noisy!" Just then, Manqi, who had been drinking tea in the military camp, suddenly put down his teacup. His figure suddenly became illusory, and Long Aotian, who was floating in the void, suddenly narrowed his eyes. He hurriedly held his halberd horizontally.
boom…………
A figure appeared in front of him in an instant. The person threw a punch that hit Long Aotian's halberd. Long Aotian was sent flying like a cannonball, and the halberd in his hand flew out of his grasp.
"Useless trash, go and surround and kill the other human King Realm cultivators. This guy is mine." The old man glanced at the eight heavily injured King Realm cultivators, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Hearing the old man's words, the Minotaur Kings were somewhat annoyed, but they dared not refute him. They immediately charged towards the human Kings.
At this moment, Long Aotian was standing on the ground, with a large pit beneath his feet. His hair was somewhat disheveled, and his aura had weakened considerably compared to before.
"Long Aotian, you are astonishing! It's a pity you are only a King Realm cultivator. Even if your combat strength has reached the Emperor Realm, in the eyes of a true Emperor Realm cultivator, you are nothing more than a slightly larger ant!" Man Qi looked at Long Aotian, his eyes full of contempt. "Quasi-Emperor is just a title that people arrogantly use. In my eyes, Quasi-Emperor is a desecration of true Emperors. You have no idea of the difference between a true Emperor Realm cultivator and the Quasi-Emperor you speak of."
“Hehe…” Long Aotian looked up at Xiang Manqi, “You have violated the rules set by the True God. Aren’t you afraid that the True God will kill you?”
"No, no, no, I'm not at ten cones now, but nine cones, at the peak of the King Realm. I'm just stronger in combat, it doesn't mean I'm violating the rules," Man Qi replied upon hearing Long Aotian's words.
"Heh..." Long Aotian sneered, "Shatter one cone and merge it into the others, preserving all your Emperor Realm combat power and methods, a very good plan! It's just a pity that you miscalculated. Today, I, Long Aotian, will slaughter an Emperor."
After Long Aotian finished speaking, his primordial spirit Lu Bu suddenly surged with power again, seemingly possessing boundless fighting spirit.
“Slay the Emperor? Hahaha…” Upon hearing Long Aotian’s words, Manqi reacted as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world. “Overestimating yourself, if I kill you, this city will fall without a fight.”
After Manqi finished speaking, he instantly rushed towards Long Aotian, and a terrifying power emanated from his body.
At the same moment, the primordial spirit Lü Bu, riding the Red Hare, went to meet him.
Boom boom...
In an instant, after exchanging dozens of blows, Lu Bu, whose fighting spirit was originally soaring, became increasingly dim as the battle progressed.
"I must admit, you do have reason to be proud. If I give you some time, you will surely reach the Emperor Realm. At that time, I'm afraid I will really become your defeated opponent. Unfortunately, I will not give you that chance." After Man Qi finished speaking, a terrifying aura emanated from his fist, and an aura of an emperor spread from his body.
In an instant, a huge energy fist burst forth and slammed down on the primordial spirit Lu Bu. The power was extremely strong. Even though the primordial spirit Lu Bu quickly defended, he was still blasted away and ended up falling flat on his face. Even Long Aotian spat out a mouthful of blood at this moment.
"Can you feel it? This is the difference between you and a true emperor." Looking at Long Aotian, who was still heavily injured, Manqi said. In fact, if he had appeared at the beginning, he would not have been able to deal with Long Aotian, who had just started to use his primordial spirit Lu Bu, so easily.
However, Long Aotian first defeated Hei Fengyuan, and then defeated the combined forces of eight Minotaur Kings. Even though Long Aotian's combat power was unparalleled, he was not invincible.
"Hehe..." Long Aotian clutched his chest, a wicked smile appearing in his eyes, "True Emperor, nothing more than that."
"Stubborn to the end, wait till I take your head and see if you can still act like this!" After saying that, Manqi's figure flashed again, and he instantly appeared in front of Long Aotian, throwing out a punch containing powerful force once more.
To his surprise, there was no fear or intention to obstruct in Long Aotian's eyes; instead, there was contempt, which puzzled Man Qi.
"I am Long Aotian. Since I dare to use the name Aotian, I naturally have the ability of Aotian." Facing a punch that could kill him, a sense of arrogance appeared in Long Aotian's eyes, and his aura of royalty became even stronger.
Buzzing...
Just then, a golden phantom appeared behind Long Aotian again. It was tall, majestic, and robust, without a head. Its eyes were on its chest, its navel was its mouth, and it held a giant axe in one hand and a square shield in the other. This was Gan Qi, and this phantom was none other than the God of War, Xing Tian.
With his appearance, a powerful force emanated from Long Aotian's body, and then the square shield in the hand of Yuan Shen Xing Tian instantly met Man Qi's fist.
boom………
A tremendous shockwave swept out, and Manqi was immediately thrown back. His primordial spirit, Xingtian, also took a few steps back. His eyes suddenly widened, clearly showing his displeasure. A boundless fighting spirit immediately emanated from him, affecting everyone who was fighting.
Their gazes involuntarily turned in this direction, and when they saw the primordial spirits Xing Tian and Lü Bu behind Long Aotian, they were all shocked.
"Two primordial spirits? How is this possible?" Huangfu Jun, with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth and his face pale, stared in disbelief in the direction of Long Aotian. This completely overturned their understanding. "Is this your reliance?"
At this moment, Long Aotian and Lu Bu's primordial spirit, which had already weakened, suddenly returned to normal with the appearance of the primordial spirit Xing Tian. At this moment, Long Aotian's hair and clothes fluttered in the wind, and with the two imposing primordial spirits behind him, he was the brightest star in the world.
"How is this possible? Why do you have two primordial spirits?" After stabilizing himself, Man Qi looked at Long Aotian. His eyes were no longer filled with contempt, but instead with shock.
“Hehe…” Long Aotian did not answer Manqi’s question. Yes, he was a dual-yuan god and he had two source cones. As for why, even he himself did not know. The only people in the world who knew his secret were him and Qinglong. Even Qinglong did not understand his situation and could only attribute it to his special physique.
"I said, today I will slaughter the Emperor." Long Aotian and his two primordial spirits slowly floated into the air. The battle intent emanating from the primordial spirit Xing Tian behind him made the minotaur warriors tremble. The human warriors, after feeling the battle intent of the primordial spirit Xing Tian, also emanated a powerful battle intent.
