Before the words were even finished, the three of them instantly connected.
The three plates, "Heaven, Earth, and Man," are sacred artifacts passed down through the Tianyan Sect, and they are mysteriously connected to each other.
Without any prior rehearsal, a perfectly formed formation naturally formed, firmly trapping Yunmiao Zhenren, who was about to advance to the first rank, in the center.
Sensing the familiar aura, Yun Miaozi trembled violently.
Their faces were already terrifying, but now they are even more ferocious and malevolent, like evil spirits.
"The Heavenly Plate! The Heavenly Plate has actually recognized this young girl as its master!"
"Why? By what right?!"
Someone instantly turned red-hot and attacked recklessly.
Qin Zhaoyue was undoubtedly the weakest link among the three, with her cultivation only at the initial stage of the third rank. Naturally, she became the most likely breakthrough point in the formation theory.
Yunmiao Zhenren's attacks, imbued with chaotic Daoist energy, repeatedly bypassed Jiang Wuyai and Chu Xinglan's interception, heading straight for her.
However, just as Jiang Wuyai assured, with the three plates of energy connected, the formation naturally flowed, revealing endless mysteries.
Each time Yun Miaozi's terrifying attack approached, Qin Zhaoyue felt a subtle distortion in the space around her, and her body would uncontrollably shift several feet away in an instant.
The attacks always narrowly missed her, or were magically redirected or vanished without a trace, never actually harming her in the slightest.
After several times, Qin Zhaoyue's initial fear subsided, and she became bolder.
Since we seem to be invincible, then... if our cultivation is insufficient, we'll make up for it with tricks!
She simply let go completely and used all the random "moments" she had just comprehended.
What about the sharpness, the power of mountains, the power of raging fire, the power of flowing water, the power of confinement, the power of punishment...?
A dazzling array of styles!
These individual forces may not be powerful enough, but when amplified and mixed together by the three array formations, they immediately caused great interference to True Person Yunmiao.
It was as if countless noisy sounds flooded his mind. Although not fatal, they greatly disturbed his concentration of Daoist energy and his focus on breaking through his acupoints, causing significant disruption.
Jiang Wuyai and Chu Xinglan, who had not joined forces to fight each other for many years, unexpectedly developed an amazing tacit understanding under the influence of the three plates of energy.
Chu Xinglan possesses powerful divine sense and is primarily responsible for controlling the flow of the formation and overall defensive operations.
He protected Qin Zhaoyue perfectly, while constantly using the power of the Human Plate to interfere with and slow down Yunmiao Zhenren's movements.
Jiang Wuyai, on the other hand, unleashed his full power without holding back, drawing upon the earth's veins with the power of his territory. His attack was like a raging storm, or the earth itself collapsing.
It slammed fiercely at Master Yunmiao, showing no mercy whatsoever because the other party was once a senior member of the sect.
Master Yunmiao was immediately plunged into a great predicament.
He was locked in place by three identical auras from sacred artifacts, and the space around him seemed to have turned into a viscous swamp.
The profound and ineffable Daoist essence he had just touched began to fluctuate violently under the pressure of the invisible force field formed by the three plates, and then quickly dissipated by seven or eight parts.
The door that was clearly within reach suddenly became blurry again, shrouded in a thick fog.
It was as if all the insights and hopes for advancement I had just experienced were nothing but a fleeting dream!
Why?
A vicious thought screamed wildly in his mind.
Why is that?!
Why would the sacred artifact choose a young girl as its master rather than the man it had been searching for its entire life?
Why is the way of Heaven so unfair?
Intense resentment and bitterness nearly consumed his reason.
"No!"
A piercing, inhuman scream burst forth from Yun Miaozi's throat.
The last remaining medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Pill within his body, along with his life's cultivation, was recklessly ignited and erupted.
He's going to make one last desperate attempt!
The next moment, Yun Miaozi took a heavy blow from Jiang Wuyai.
Using the force of the impact, he moved with lightning speed, rushing straight towards the door of the Imperial Study.
Qin Minghuang's life force has not been completely extinguished. She must be killed completely, and the fall of the empress will cause even greater chaos in the dynasty's fortune, in order to prove my own path!
"Heh, I've been waiting for you..."
Jiang Wuyai had already guessed that Yunmiao Zhenren's promotion was closely related to the Empress's life and death, and had secretly laid a trap.
The attack that just now seemed to be all-out, but in fact, it left three-tenths of its strength unused.
At this moment, the power of the territory erupted, like a giant net that had been spread out beforehand. Layer upon layer of earthen yellow light barriers instantly condensed in front of the Imperial Study, as heavy as a mountain.
Without any communication, Chu Xinglan instantly understood Jiang Wuyai's intentions.
She gave a sharp rebuke, and the power of the human plate erupted with unprecedented intensity.
Not only did she use all her strength to control the formation to suppress Yun Miaozi's actions, but she also used the three arrays to transform the chaotic and disorderly attacks from Qin Zhaoyue's side into a colorful and violent torrent, which followed closely behind Yun Miaozi's figure and poured away.
Boom!!!
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the terrifying shockwave spread wildly in all directions like a tsunami, overturning and shattering all the bluestone slabs in the front courtyard of the Imperial Study.
Master Yunmiao collapsed onto the cold, shattered blue bricks, his body broken and battered, like a withered branch ravaged by a storm.
Those eyes, which once burned with fervor and madness, now held only bone-deep resentment and overwhelming hatred, piercing through Jiang Wuyai's figure and gazing desperately at the still-steadfast mountain-like phantom in the Imperial Study.
It was so close... so very close...
The dry, blood-stained lips moved silently, emitting broken, breathy sounds, like a curse or a cry of blood.
He was just one step away from pushing open that long-awaited door, stepping into an unprecedented realm, breaking free from the shackles of this decaying body, and gaining a new life.
Jiang Wuyai's face was as cold as iron, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever, nor any pity for his elders.
He gave the dying old monster no chance to catch his breath or retaliate, and his palm, imbued with the power of the earth, fell down without hesitation.
Bang!
A dull, yet chilling, explosion.
Under that absolute power, the remaining body of Master Yunmiao was like a sandcastle crushed by a giant, instantly turning into dust without leaving even the slightest trace.
They were truly annihilated, their bodies and souls destroyed, utterly and completely extinguished, with not even the slightest possibility of reversal or resurrection.
Jiang Wuyai gave a faint smirk.
Almost there?
How easy is it to reach the highest level of cultivation?
A slight difference can lead to vastly different outcomes, creating an insurmountable chasm.
The old man accomplished nothing for the Tianyan Sect while he was alive, yet in his final days he committed heinous acts such as assassinating the emperor and wreaking havoc on the court.
Most importantly, it damaged his relationship with his junior sister.
Death is the cleanest solution, ending it all.
