Su Zimo, who had just entered Level 4 of the Ten Formations Pagoda, did not know that someone had just cleared this level nor did he know that there were more and more Array Peak disciples outside who were starting to notice him.
Level 4 was a killing formation.
Killing formations were the most powerful of all formations. If a cultivator fell into it and had no way out, they would be buried in the formation if they didn't have enough strength to break the formation.
Even if a cultivator could defend against the power of the killing formation for the time being, their strength would eventually run out and they would eventually be destroyed by the might of the formation.
However, killing formations were the easiest to break through among the formations.
The purpose of killing formations was to kill and destroy everything. As the saying goes, things always move in the opposite direction when they reach an extreme. There was no absolute destruction in this world. Therefore, there was bound to be a chance of survival in the midst of destruction.
As long as one could find that chance, they would naturally be able to break through the killing formation.
Not far ahead was a volcano with thick smoke billowing out. The moment Su Zimo entered this place, a loud rumble echoed from the mountain.
Immediately after, countless crimson magma gushed out from the crater of the volcano. Huge rocks that were burning with raging flames fell from the sky with a frightening momentum.
Black smoke filled the air, obscuring one's vision along with a suffocating black dust.
It was as though the apocalypse had arrived and the world was collapsing!
In the face of such a destructive force, other self-cultivators would immediately crush their protective talismans and subconsciously turn around to escape from the range of the falling lava.
However, that was an extremely unwise move.
This was a formation.
Unless the formation was broken, there was no way cultivators could break out!
In other words, no matter how fast a cultivator was in the formation, they would not be able to escape the range of the lava.
With a calm expression, Su Zimo summoned his flying sword and leaped down. Instead of retreating, he advanced forward.
All the vegetation on the ground had already been incinerated and bubbling lava flowed with a scorching temperature.
In the blink of an eye, the ground beneath Su Zimo had turned into a scarlet lava ocean, leaving only unmelted rocks exposed.
For other Array Formation Masters, they would have to avoid the power of the killing formation while analyzing how to break through it.
But for Su Zimo, there was no need for that.
There were dangers everywhere in the killing formation, but there was one place where Su Zimo's spiritual sense did not react.
This place was where the flaw in the killing array was!
Since the purpose of the Illusory Formation and the Trap Formation was not to kill, but to confuse and restrain, Su Zimo could not sense any danger. His spiritual perception was useless. If he wanted to break these two formations, he could only rely on his own abilities.
But in the killing formation, Su Zimo had spiritual perception, and all the arrangements became mere decorations.
Soon, Su Zimo arrived at the rock.
This rock looked very ordinary and could barely support one person. It was no different from the other protruding rocks in the lava.
But as long as he stood on this rock without moving, he would be able to avoid all the dangers in the killing array!
If anyone could see this scene, they would definitely be dumbfounded.
Blazing lava continued to fall, densely packed. However, a green-robed man stood in the middle of this overwhelming lava, completely unharmed!
Finding this rock could not be considered as breaking the killing array.
After all, the volcano was erupting continuously and there was no telling when it would stop – Su Zimo could not possibly waste his time here.
Su Zimo pondered for a moment and looked at the ordinary rock beneath his feet with a smile in his eyes.
Logically speaking, this rock should be the formation core of the killing array.
However, if his guess was wrong and the killing array was not broken even if he destroyed this rock, the intruder would fall into the boiling lava and be burnt to a crisp!
The Array Formation Master who set up this formation had truly put in a lot of effort.
It was not only a test of a cultivator's ability to break formations, but also their courage!
It was a test of whether they would dare to break their only life-saving straw!
In reality, the Array Formation Master's thoughts coincided with the operation of the killing array – they were both seeking survival in the face of death.
Su Zimo smiled and stomped his foot.
Boom!
The rock beneath his feet shattered and Su Zimo's figure fell.
Just as he was about to fall into the lava, everything around him vanished and he regained his footing.
The entrance to Level 5 had appeared!
Su Zimo strode over.
…
At the same time, outside the Ten Formations Pagoda.
Not long after Level 3 lit up, Level 4 lit up as well. The discussions of the Array Peak disciples came to a halt.
Everyone's mouths were agape as they stared at the Ten Formations Pagoda not far away in a daze.
"Hmm?"
Sensing something, Elder Luo turned back as well.
Elder Luo was also stunned when he saw the flickering array pattern on the fourth floor.
That lad had cleared Level 4?
Furthermore, it was so fast that he only used 17 breaths?
How was that possible?
Countless questions surged through Elder Luo's mind as he frowned in confusion.
"What did I just see? Why did Level 4 light up as well?"
"From the moment he stepped into Level 4 to the time it lit up, it seemed like it only took him a dozen breaths. How could he be so fast?"
"Who is that?"
After a momentary silence, a commotion broke out in the crowd as many Array Peak disciples discussed with shocked expressions.
Even the number one of Array Peak, Zhong Wen, took an entire two hours to clear Level 4.
How could someone use only a dozen breaths to break the fourth layer of the array formation?
"I've got it!"
Suddenly, a disciple said, "Other than Senior Brother Zhong, there must be two other people in the Ten Formations Pagoda. One of them cleared Level 3 and the other cleared Level 4."
"Right, right, right! That must be the case," Another disciple nodded hurriedly in realization.
"Yes, it must be a coincidence. The first person cleared Level 3 and the second person cleared Level 4."
"That scared me to death! Didn't I say that it's impossible?"
The expressions of the Array Peak disciples relaxed as the commotion died down.
After all, most of them were still unable to break through the fourth layer of the formation.
If they knew that someone had cleared Level 4 in less than 20 breaths, it would be a huge blow to them.
When he heard the discussions, Elder Luo lowered his head slightly, trying his best to conceal the shock in his eyes.
No one knew better than him that there were only two people who had entered the Ten Formations Pagoda since morning.
Since Zhong Wen had cleared Level 4, there was only a single possibility for someone to clear Level 4's killing formation in less than 20 breaths.
It was none other than the trial disciple from Weapon Peak – Su Zimo!
Elder Luo glanced sideways at the Ten Formations Stele.
The 30 odd rows at the bottom of the Ten Formations Stele were all formation geniuses who had cleared Level 4 in the past few years. The fastest disciple was Situ Boyan at 3 hours.
Even if Su Zimo failed at Level 5, he would definitely leave a mark on the Ten Formations Stele and be ranked above Situ Boyan!
As for that lad, he took an unprecedented 17 breaths to clear Level 4!
