Seeing Chi Yuan sit down and begin his cultivation, everyone looked puzzled. Chi Yuan hadn't stopped during the first two trials, so why did he suddenly stop at this one?
"Could it be... that he wants to break the formation?"
Someone guessed aloud.
"Break the formation? You're dreaming. Even formation cultivators who specialize in formations find it difficult to break the formations of Formation Mountain. Do you think he has the extra energy to study formations?"
As soon as this speculation was made, someone immediately refuted it, which was echoed by many others.
All the great formations in the Formation Mountain have a way to break them; otherwise, apart from formation cultivators, who could get past this challenge?
Therefore, solving the formation is the first choice for those attempting to break through the barrier. Even formation cultivators would rather solve the formation than break it, since breaking the formation is much more difficult than solving it.
Even when Ye Chen passed this level, he relied on solving the formation to get through it, without trying to break the formation.
If Chi Yuan wanted to pass the test by breaking the formation, it would be much more difficult than passing the first two tests. After all, the Dao of Formations is known to be profound and complex. It is difficult to get started, and even more difficult to master it. Even those who specialize in this field rarely achieve great success. At most, Chi Yuan can only learn it in his spare time. How high can his Dao of Formations be?
It's almost impossible to break through the formation and pass the level!
It must be said that the art of array formations is indeed difficult to learn.
Chi Yuan felt the difficulty as soon as he started practicing the Array Word Secret, but for someone with the comprehension and spirituality of a seventh-level Spirit Venerable, getting started was still quite easy.
A quarter of an hour later, Chi Yuan had already mastered the Array Secret Technique to the beginner level. Although it was only the beginner level, breaking a Spirit Emperor-level array was effortless for him.
Chi Yuan quickly formed a series of hand seals, and a golden light burst forth from his right palm, with an ancient character for "array" appearing on his palm.
Chi Yuan opened his right hand, and a golden Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams diagram appeared above his palm.
Next, Chi Yuan quickly formed a hand seal with one hand, and then flicked his fingers together to send out a golden beam of light to the center of the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams diagram. The Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams diagram rapidly expanded, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire mist array.
At that moment, Chi Yuan seemed to have gained a god-like perspective, and the entire structure and layout of the great formation were laid out before him.
"Found it!"
Chi Yuan's gaze pierced through the thick fog and landed on the cliff face several dozen feet to his right. At the spot he had locked onto, there was an inconspicuous spiritual herb growing in a narrow crevice in the cliff face, which was the location of the array's core.
Once the array's core was found, breaking the array became simple. Chi Yuan formed a formation-breaking hand seal, then gathered spiritual power and shot a beam of light towards the spiritual herb, directly breaking the array's core and rendering the mist array ineffective.
As the great formation was broken, the mist surrounding Chi Yuan quickly dissipated, revealing an almost enclosed circular valley. In a hidden corner at the edge of the valley, a passage about half a zhang wide was exposed, which was the exit of the mist formation.
Chi Yuan immediately flew over and left the array world through the exit.
Outside the Abyss of Death.
The crowd erupted in uproar once again upon seeing Chi Yuan break free of the formation.
"He...he really broke through the formation!"
"How is that possible?! It took me half an hour to find the array's core, and he found it in no time?"
"Can't you even be a human being? It's one thing to have strong combat power and a powerful soul, but to have such high attainments in array formations is just too much for us array cultivators to bear."
"Sigh, comparing yourself to others is just awful. I think I should give up learning array formations and go home to be a spirit farmer..."
...
Ye Chen's eyes were vacant, and he looked as listless as a wilted eggplant, no longer displaying his previous high spirits.
Seeing Chi Yuan break through the formations one after another and finally pass the third level in one go, the bitterness in his heart was indescribable. Compared with Chi Yuan, he was really a joke...
The fourth level.
Chi Yuan arrived at a desolate wasteland where the sky was as red as blood.
The Battle Death Realm is the level with the highest mortality rate in the Death Abyss Secret Realm. Wenren Bingying encountered life-or-death crises multiple times in this level and almost perished here.
This level has only one theme: a fight to the death!
Monsters and demons will constantly spawn in the wasteland to attack the challengers. The faster you kill them, the more monsters and demons will spawn, and the stronger they will become. Only after killing all the monsters and demons can you pass this level.
This stage is a pure test of combat strength; there are no shortcuts and you can only fight your way through with sheer power.
At this moment, Chi Yuan was in the very center of the Death Realm, with no cover around him. Only a semi-circular defensive light screen surrounded him for several feet. This was the only safe spot in the Death Realm. Once he stepped out, a deadly battle would begin. Only after killing all the attacking monsters and demons would the safe spot reappear.
Chi Yuan had heard about the dangers of this trial, but he wasn't too worried. Although his combat strength was far inferior to that of his divine soul, his combined abilities, with the combat strength boost from over 10,000 potential points, were enough to overpower even a peak Spirit Emperor. This trial was still no challenge for him.
As soon as they stepped out of the safe zone, the defensive light shield vanished instantly, and a pack of wolf-like monsters appeared on the wasteland.
These are Tier 3 beginner-level demonic beasts, Gale Wolves, equivalent to Tier 1 to Tier 3 Heavenly Spirit Masters. Their combat strength is nothing to Chi Yuan, but their numbers are quite large, with a full hundred of them appearing.
"Awooo—"
The howls of wolves echoed across the wasteland, as if sounding the battle horn. A hundred Gale Wolves suddenly rushed out, closing in on Chi Yuan from all directions with the speed of the wind.
Seeing this scene, Chi Yuan couldn't help but recall the time when he fought to the death with the beasts in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and he felt a pang of nostalgia.
"Six Meridian Divine Sword!"
For dealing with low-level demonic beast groups, there is no spiritual skill more suitable than the Six Meridians Divine Sword, a group attack technique that can be called a grass-cutting god skill. Chi Yuan used both hands at the same time, and thin sword lights formed by spiritual power emanated from his fingertips, piercing through the sky and hitting the Gale Wolves. As if arrows pierced through water spheres, they shot down all the attacking Gale Wolves.
In no time at all, the hundred Gale Wolves were slaughtered by the Six Meridian Divine Sword, which cut down grass and wheat with ease, and their bodies turned into spiritual energy and disappeared.
...
Like smoke, the imperial dynasty.
In the magnificent, almost otherworldly palace of the empress, a woman dressed in a black gauze dress, with exquisite features and a captivating allure, reclines on a soft, jade chaise lounge. Her narrow, fox-like eyes reveal a hint of coldness and indifference, a gaze that holds both a haughty disdain for all living beings and a profound, unyielding loneliness.
She took out a vermilion fruit and took a casual bite. Her gaze, however, pierced through several realms and the barrier created by the Rongxuan Qingsuo Pearl, landing on the huge mirror above the Death Abyss within the Yingyue Sect of the Daqian Kingdom. A slightly thin corner of her lips curled up into a seductive arc: "Tsk, why does this move have a strange sense of déjà vu?"
