"A combined formation?"
"What kind of formation could find Lu Tao, who even causal investigation cannot detect?"
"Since they possess such a formation, why not use it now? What are they waiting for?"
Many powerful god-kings were puzzled.
When combined with its pupils, the Heavenly Frog's causal rules are so powerful that it's no exaggeration to say it's comparable to the God Emperor realm. But even so, the Heavenly Frog can't glimpse the slightest bit of the causal relationship on Lu Tao.
They didn't know what kind of formation Tianyu Pavilion was, yet they were confident they could find Lu Tao.
Please be aware.
Since Tianyu Pavilion is so powerful, it must know about the Heavenly Frog's ability to apply the rules of cause and effect. At the same time, the Alliance of Races did not hide anything when creating the Eye, so Tianyu Pavilion is naturally fully aware of it as well.
Knowing that even the Heavenly Frog couldn't find Lu Tao, the Heavenly Pavilion was still confident in finding him. They were very curious about what kind of formation could do this.
Most importantly.
Since such a formation exists, why not use it sooner?
The Heavenly Pavilion possesses Divine Emperor-level formations, which were definitely not recently acquired. They could have been used to locate Lu Tao before he could refine a small world containing three thousand Daoist principles.
Searching for Lu Tao back then was much easier than it is now.
Tianwa, panting heavily, explained, "That formation is a God-Emperor level formation. Even top-tier God-Kings cannot maintain it for long after setting it up together. Only a half-step God-Emperor can barely use it."
"A Divine Emperor-level formation?"
"The fact that such a formation exists in the desolate region shows how terrifying the Heavenly Universe Pavilion's foundation is."
"The number one in the wasteland, truly deserving of the title!"
Many god-kings were amazed by it.
The desolate region cannot produce any God-Emperor level experts, yet the Heavenly Universe Pavilion possesses a God-Emperor level formation. This strength is absolutely terrifying.
and.
This formation is a combined formation; it can not only track like an eye, but also incorporates a trapping formation.
With such a formation in place, Tianyu Pavilion can stand firm and not fall.
But at the same time, they were also puzzled.
"However, doesn't Tianyu Pavilion have a half-step God Emperor? Why hasn't it been used yet?"
Upon hearing this question, Tianwa took a breath before replying, "Setting up that formation requires at least nine half-step God Emperors to keep it running. So, Tianyu Pavilion is also secretly helping God Kings complete their tribulations and advance to the half-step God Emperor level."
"Moreover, their plan is to wait until all the God-Kings have reached the Perfected stage before taking action against Lu Tao, to ensure that nothing goes wrong," the Heavenly Frog added.
It's obvious.
Tianyu Pavilion had long realized how difficult Lu Tao was to deal with, and they did not want to give him any chance to escape.
They were prepared to go all out and defeat Lu Tao in one fell swoop.
Ao Chen nodded slightly and said, "In that case, Tianyu Pavilion will probably make a move against Lu Tao in about eight days, and we..."
It glanced around at the powerful beasts such as the Mountain-Piercing Divine Beast, the Demonic Bull, and Yan Zhi. Apart from Ao Yu, who had already advanced to the half-step God Emperor level, and Jie En, who was undergoing tribulation, there were exactly eight God Kings who had reached the peak of their level.
Ao Chen pondered for a moment and said, "We had all been promoted around that time, so we could lend a hand."
The pangolin pondered, "Brother Ao, should we contact Tianyu Pavilion in advance? If we cooperate, we can shorten the time; we can take action against Lu Tao in just two or three days."
Ao Chen remained silent, unsure of what to choose.
Even if they were shown a divine emperor-level formation, they would find it difficult to comprehend it in a short period of time.
but.
By jointly setting up the formation, one only needs to follow the instructions to unleash its power.
It is not necessary for every member who sets up the formation to fully understand and master it.
If they cooperate, they can take action against Lu Tao quickly, without having to wait another eight days.
However, Ao Chen was also somewhat worried, saying, "That is a God-Emperor level formation. Even if we are willing to help, we can't guarantee that Tianyu Pavilion will show it to us. Moreover, even if they tell us about the formation, I am very worried that they will take action against us afterward to prevent the formation from being leaked."
"You should know that once all of our God-Kings have reached the Perfected stage and advanced, we will have more than nine Half-Step God-Emperors!"
Upon hearing Ao Chen's words, the pangolin immediately fell silent.
It knew that Ao Chen was right.
The preciousness of a God-Emperor level formation is self-evident. If the alliance of races obtains this formation, and all of them advance to the half-step God-Emperor level, will they develop any designs on the Heavenly Pavilion?
This was completely unpredictable.
Living beings are inherently greedy.
Not to mention the Alliance of Races, which has fallen to its current state precisely because of greed.
After they obtained the powerful God-Emperor level formation, they would hardly believe themselves if they said they were not tempted by the Heavenly Pavilion, which had been passed down for countless years.
After all, they were still eyeing Tianyu Pavilion just now, but Tianyu Pavilion was too strong, so they gave up on that idea.
Tianyu Pavilion isn't stupid; of course they'll guard against them.
We didn't take action against them before simply because they posed no threat to Tianyu Pavilion.
But once you obtain a God-Emperor level formation, things will be completely different.
Ao Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait two more days. Once the number of half-step Divine Emperors in Tianyu Pavilion reaches nine, we'll contact them again and see what they think. In short, to avoid any accidents, we absolutely cannot touch their formations, even if they inform us on their own initiative."
This shows that Ao Chen is wary of Tianyu Pavilion.
He would rather give up the opportunity to obtain a God-Emperor level formation than offend the Tianyu Pavilion, or rather, he did not want to give the Tianyu Pavilion any excuse to take action against them.
Having offended Lu Tao and the Cat Queen in succession, Ao Chen has learned his lesson.
It has not yet eliminated either of these threats and does not want to cause any more trouble.
"Okay, then let's wait a little longer."
The pangolin beast nodded in agreement with this choice, and of course, the other god-kings did not object either.
Ao Chen glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Alright, everyone, do your best to cultivate. Our lives and deaths depend on this."
All the gods nodded silently.
They also knew that whether they could find and kill Lu Tao depended on whether Tianyu Pavilion's formation could succeed.
If even Tianyu Pavilion can't find Lu Tao, then they should give up and try to escape.
Ao Chen then looked at the extremely weak Heavenly Frog and said, "Brother Frog, you should recover first. After you recover, investigate whether the Heavenly Universe Pavilion has a way to send the God King down to the mortal realm. If so, we might be able to go down to the mortal realm and capture the humans of the Ganyu Continent to use as a threat to Lu Tao."
The Heavenly Frog nodded silently and immediately entered the small world to heal its wounds.
Upon hearing this, the mountain-climbing divine beast hesitated and said, "Lu Tao might bring the human race of the Ganyu Continent into his small world in a very short time."
Ao Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I know that too, but in any case, it wouldn't hurt to try before he takes it away."
The King of Gods remained silent.
Indeed, nowadays, all they can do regarding any potential attacks against Lu Tao is try; they have very few chances of success.
that's all.
The other god-kings, like Shi Shu, were all engaged in seclusion and cultivation.
Although they can only seclude themselves in the small world for a few months, with all resources readily available now, many God-Kings still have a chance to advance further.
Meanwhile, figures like Yan Zhi, the Demon Bull, and the Mountain-Piercing Divine Beast were adjusting their breathing, practicing the method of feigning death to escape, and preparing to undergo tribulation.
also.
The Golden Lion, on the other hand, has been receiving messages from the lower realms.
Soon, several hours passed.
The time had come for the second auction of the True Dragon Bloodline. All the races in the Alliance that had designs on the True Dragon Bloodline sent their God-Kings to bid.
The True Dragon Clan naturally did not stop them.
but.
As for what they are thinking, only the true dragon race themselves probably know.
As the dominant race in the desolate region, they watched helplessly as other races won the bid for the true dragon bloodline, then created monstrous talents with imperial-grade aptitude, and finally replaced the true dragon race.
Or does the true dragon race have some other ideas?
No one knows.
But whatever the idea, it's meaningless in the current situation.
For the True Dragon Clan, only after completely eliminating the threats of Lu Tao and the Cat Emperor can they have time to consider other matters.
To the surprise of all the races, the auction time for Lu Tao's second True Dragon Bloodline was delayed by several hours.
While they were waiting.
News came again from the lower realm—the creatures of the Ganyu Continent had been taken away by Lu Tao.
Not only humans, but all living beings on the Ganyu Continent were taken into Lu Tao's small world.
This caused considerable unrest within the alliance of various races.
Ao Chen looked up at the sky and sighed, "Alas, with the Ganyu Continent taken away, almost all the beings closely related to Lu Tao are now in his small world."
"Even if Tianyu Pavilion has a way to descend to the mortal realm, it won't be able to find any living beings that can be used to threaten Lu Tao."
Ao Chen felt quite helpless when this was mentioned.
In the past, they tried every means to go to the lower realm to capture the existence that could threaten Lu Tao. However, even through the rules of cause and effect, they could not find the passage to the lower realm.
Lu Tao had completely blocked them.
Having just learned that Tianyu Pavilion possesses a God-Emperor level formation, it has been pondering whether Tianyu Pavilion has a way to reach the lower realm.
But now, even if it existed, there's no need to think about it.
There weren't many things that could threaten Lu Tao to begin with, and after Lu Tao took over the Ganyu Continent, there was almost nothing left in this world that could threaten him.
perhaps.
Master Luo is one of them.
But they are just business partners; their relationship isn't particularly close.
If Lu Tao were a little more selfish, perhaps it would be easier for him if Sect Master Luo died, as he wouldn't have to fulfill any promises.
As for the human race...
Lu Tao was indifferent to the annihilation of the human race, and even used the incident to destroy the Dragon Transformation Pool. He didn't care about the life or death of the Human Emperor at all. Ao Chen found it hard to imagine what else in the Desolate Region could threaten Lu Tao.
Most likely not.
Perhaps only the lower realm's planet of faith is truly important to Lu Tao.
But even if they had a way to descend to the lower realms, it would be difficult for them to cause damage. They couldn't possibly destroy those planets, could they?
"well!"
Thinking of all this, the several god-kings who were waiting to complete their tribulations all sighed helplessly.
Next, they learned that Lu Tao had returned to the God Realm and was holding a second auction for the True Dragon Bloodline.
final.
This true dragon bloodline was auctioned off to the Nether Tiger Clan.
The price even exceeded that of the first item, reaching the price of seventy-three items.
Ao Chen's face was grim as he said, "Once Lu Tao auctions off a few more True Dragon Bloodlines, I'm afraid he'll really plunder all the rule-related items in the Desolate Region."
A true dragon bloodline requires at least seventy items of the rules, and Lu Tao has a full fifty of them.
If all the auctions are successful, Lu Tao will obtain almost all the items that are part of the rules of the desolate region.
They knew a little about Lu Tao's weapon-forging abilities; he could even easily forge small worlds, let alone divine king artifacts.
If Lu Tao were to use all these rules to forge divine king artifacts, even if Lu Tao had not reached the divine king realm, the presence of these divine king artifacts would still pose a significant threat to them.
fortunately.
Tianyu Pavilion is also hunting Lu Tao, so they won't give Lu Tao much time to auction off the True Dragon Bloodline.
Ao Chen no longer paid attention to matters outside the home.
Soon, several more hours passed, and Jie En faked his death and escaped, successfully advancing to the half-step God Emperor realm.
Next, Ao Chen began his tribulation.
Boom!
Within the secret realm, thunder roared incessantly.
With Ao Chen's foundation and strength, passing the God Emperor Tribulation would certainly not be a problem. Unfortunately, the Desolate Domain cannot become a God Emperor, so it can only fake its death and escape under the last tribulation, just like Ao Yu and Jie En.
And so, the God-Kings of the Alliance of Races successively underwent tribulations.
Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.
That day.
The Heavenly Frog discovered that the Heavenly Pavilion already had nine half-step Divine Emperors.
Ao Chen did not hesitate and decisively contacted Zhang Lan, the head of Tianyu Pavilion.
"I apologize, Pavilion Master Zhang. Just now, when we were searching the wasteland for any other way to kill Lu Tao, we happened to find that Tianyu Pavilion possessed a Divine Emperor-level formation that could deal with Lu Tao. I wonder if we... could cooperate with each other?"
Ao Chen was quite direct, without any pleasantries or beating around the bush, and directly stated his feelings.
However, although Tianyu Pavilion knew that the Alliance of Races possessed the Eye of the Sky and the Sky Frog, making it nearly impossible to keep Tianyu Pavilion's secrets, Ao Chen naturally wouldn't reveal these things right away.
They simply indicated that they were not deliberately investigating the secrets of Tianyu Pavilion, but had discovered it by chance.
There is a big difference between tacit understanding and direct confrontation.
"Brother Ao, it's quite a coincidence that you discovered this matter just as my Tianyu Pavilion had gathered nine half-step Divine Emperors."
Pavilion Master Zhang's voice was very calm, yet full of sarcasm. However, he did not pursue the matter, clearly knowing that with the abilities of the Heavenly Frog and the Rule God-King Artifact, finding out their secrets was nothing.
Tianyu Pavilion was prepared for this.
also.
He also knew that Ao Chen was contacting him at this time only because he did not want to get involved with the God Emperor-level formation of his Tianyu Pavilion, which could also be considered a statement—the Alliance of Races had no intention of having any designs on Tianyu Pavilion.
Whether it's a formation or other treasures.
They only wanted to cooperate with Tianyu Pavilion on the matter of Lu Tao. As for Tianyu Pavilion, with the Divine Emperor Formation and other resources, it was still the number one in the Desolate Region.
The alliance of all races had no intention of competing with Tianyu Pavilion.
Since Zhang Lan didn't care, he naturally wouldn't dwell on the matter. Before Ao Chen could speak, he continued, "Cooperation is certainly possible, but you should first advance a few more half-step Divine Emperors."
Ao Chen frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "If the Tianyu Pavilion's formation can locate Lu Tao, and with the four of us half-step Divine Emperors, killing Lu Tao should be a piece of cake. Why wait any longer?"
"It seems there are still many things you haven't found out."
Zhang Lan's calm voice came through as he continued, "Sect Leader Luo, who is cooperating with Lu Tao, is actually a human. Not only her, Sect Leader Nie of the Xuanming Sect is also a human. There are currently three half-step Divine Emperors among humans, and their strength is not weak. At this moment, they should all be on Lu Tao's side. Do you still think that the four of you can really kill Lu Tao?"
"How is that possible?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Chen, Ao Yu, the Mountain-Piercing Divine Beast, the Demon Bull, and other powerful figures were all dumbfounded...
