Before sinking, I thought the Scales of Heaven were no longer in the Heavenly Realm, but now I realize that they have only been temporarily hidden by Jiang Chengye and others in some way.
During his pursuit of Jiang Chengye, he unknowingly arrived at the area where the Heavenly Realm had once divided into inner and outer realms.
The towering scales, reaching tens of millions of feet in height, stood in mid-air. Their surface was covered with shallow grooves that crisscrossed to form a funnel-shaped pattern, emitting a faint light at the moment.
The instant the scales appeared, an unreasonable, invisible force that suppressed everything surged in from all directions, causing Chen Qian's bones to crack and creak, and all the power he had gathered within him to collapse. The domain from his clone vanished without a trace.
"Extreme Fist" collapses without a fight!
Having received the inheritance of the King of Words, Shen Qian clearly sensed this time the overwhelming array of illusory vertical lines emanating from the Scales of Heaven.
They forcibly altered the rules of this world, making it impossible for martial artists of the Mountain and Sea level or above to survive here.
The more Shen Qian tried to activate the Yuan Power within his body, the more pronounced the backlash became.
He could only stop and try his best to suppress his breathing, fighting against the omnipresent sense of rejection.
As for the clones, they were forced to move further and further away, instantly being pushed back several thousand meters, and still not getting further away...
It seems that the higher one's level of attainment, the greater the rejection one receives.
Shen Qian was secretly alarmed. The last time he stepped into the Heavenly Realm and came into contact with the Scales of Heaven, he was not even a Mountain or Sea level cultivator, so he had never directly experienced the power of the Scales of Heaven.
Only now, through direct experience, did he grasp the grade of this scale; the power it exuded was so great that even ordinary kings and nobles could hardly resist it!
"Only a Great Luo Golden Immortal could directly offset the suppressive force from the Scales of Heaven by relying on their own domain."
As if he could see through what Shen Qian was thinking, Jiang Chengye, who was also affected but was clearly more adapted than Shen Qian, chuckled and said, "Back then, when the Heavenly Emperor ruled the Three Realms, in addition to his own powerful cultivation, he also relied on thirteen supreme treasures, and this Scale of Heaven was one of them."
Chen Qian remained silent, while Jiang Chengye continued, "Do you know what kind of person won't be influenced by this scale?"
"dead!"
Before Shen Qian could answer, Jiang Chengye had already given his answer.
He turned around with difficulty. The female corpse on his back, which had been transformed from Zhongli, still had her eyes closed, but the black runes covering her body blazed brightly and then transformed into mouths with sharp teeth.
A chilling aura enveloped Shen Qian, making it increasingly difficult for him to move. He could only watch helplessly as the female corpse drew closer, seemingly about to devour his entire body.
At this moment, Shen Qian, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.
"I thought that after what happened last time, you would at least be more vigilant."
Jiang Chengye was confused at first, then realized something. Shen Qian was referring to the time in the Heavenly Realm when he forcibly opened the broken "door" with a fragmented array and escaped at the last moment.
Jiang Chengye's expression changed slightly. He suddenly remembered that Lin Qiaoyin had been studying that formation for nearly ten years without successfully activating it, while Shen Qian had seen through it in a single glance.
"You probably only know me as a master alchemist, but in fact, my expertise in formations far surpasses my mastery of elixirs..."
He reached out and grasped, and as his Yuan energy surged, it was as if he had grabbed something out of thin air.
Kacha!
Shen Qian's shoulder dislocated instantly, and blood spurted out under the increased pressure, but Shen Qian's lips curled up instead, and his loosely clenched hand suddenly pulled downwards.
Buzz!
Countless array patterns suddenly appeared in the void, and those array patterns intertwined and converged above the Scales of Heaven. With the pulling motion of the sinking scales, a woman holding an array plate and wearing a long robe suddenly revealed herself from her hiding place, her face showing obvious panic.
Shen Qian was indeed briefly caught off guard after the appearance of the Libra scale, but he quickly calmed down.
He began to think about a problem.
Jiang Chengye was being chased and couldn't spare any attention, so who was controlling this scale?
Assuming that Jiang Chengye has already refined the Scales of Heaven, he wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. He could have just used it when he was in Yaochi Palace, leaving Shen Qian and the others with no way out but death.
Similarly, the person behind the manipulation of the Scales must not have truly refined them, as can be seen from the fact that the Scales remain in their previous position without moving.
That leaves only one answer... an array!
Only with the help of the formation can Jiang Chengye and the people behind him take turns to initially control the Scales of Balance, so as to achieve the effect of opening and closing.
Without even needing the system, Shen Qian discovered the massive array hidden in the void with almost no effort, and also locked onto the location of the person controlling it using his mental power.
As expected, it was Ding Yi's missing mother again... that woman named Lin Qiaoyin.
As a potential array master, the other party's cultivation level was not high, only at the early stage of the Mountain and Sea Realm. This was why she did not choose to directly help Jiang Chengye.
stop!
These thoughts flashed through Shen Qian's mind in an instant. By the time he saw Lin Qiaoyin's figure clearly, the long sword in Shen Qian's hand had already shot out and accurately pierced through the array plate in her hand.
Kacha!
No matter how good the material of the array plate was, it could not withstand the destruction of the A-grade longsword that was infused with Yuan energy. It turned into countless fragments the moment the blade's light pierced through it.
If Chen Qian hadn't deliberately controlled his strength, Lin Qiaoyin would likely have been caught in the blade's aura and seriously injured.
The array plate shattered, and the invisible array covering the Scales of Heaven also disintegrated.
