Formations were ever-changing. Some focused on confusion, and would forcibly trap a person to death. Some were killing formations, and once one entered the formation, one would encounter an endless amount of danger. Meanwhile, some were defensive formations, and were like iron barrels.

Great Mountain Protection Formations usually focused on defense, and the one in the Fire Country's Imperial Palace was one such formation. Although it was a Level Six formation, even a Spiritual Infant Tier elite would find it very difficult to forcefully break through. That was because once a gap was opened, it would very quickly close up. Unless one's power was strong enough to create a huge gap, only then would one be able to pass through easily.

That would require at least the power of a Spiritual Infant Tier elite.

Ling Han's battle prowess was very awesome, but he was still unable to break through the limits of the Spiritual Infant Tier. Thus, he could not possibly force his way through this Great Formation. However, this was a completely different matter from breaking through the formation.

With the Eye of Truth, this formation had practically no secrets in front of him.

"The simplest way to break through the formation is to destroy a few of the formation's eyes inside. However, the formation's eyes are inside the formation, so this is contradictory unless someone is working together from the inside. However, there is still a slightly more troublesome way to break through the formation, and that is to simultaneously attack a few weak points to create a temporary gap, "Ling Han mumbled.

Strange images of the sun, moon, and stars surged in his eyes. "If I use the Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow to attack those seven points at the same time, I believe I will be able to create a huge gap."

He took a deep breath, spread out his hands, and made a drawing posture of a bow. Instantly, seven spots of light suddenly appeared, turning into seven arrowheads. Then, the body of the arrowhead that was intertwined with white light also appeared, densely covered with characters. This similarly did not belong to the current cultivation system, and it emitted an ancient and terrifying presence.

The Eye of Truth and the Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow, the combination of the two great Mystical Powers was practically a perfect match.

For no reason, everyone in the imperial palace felt an endless chill, as if they would suffer a terrifying mishap in the next second.

Xiu, Ling Han's right hand's five fingers loosened, and the seven light arrows immediately shot towards the formation. The moment they were shot, the seven light arrows shot in seven different directions, as fast as flowing light. No one could catch the trajectory of the light arrows.

This kind of speed was practically killing whoever was shot, because under normal circumstances, who would keep using Origin Power to protect themselves?

Weng, weng, weng, the arrows arrived, but did not directly hit the imperial palace. A curtain suddenly appeared in the sky, blocking the arrows, but this curtain of light was like it was made of porcelain. Countless cracks actually appeared on it, and it suddenly shattered.

Ling Han revealed a sliver of a smile. Under his Eye of Truth, this great formation immediately became so weak that it could not withstand a single blow, and was directly destroyed by his seven arrows.

Of course, this was also because of the Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow's strength. Otherwise, even if he found a weak point, he might not be able to break through it. After all, this weak point was only a relatively weak point, and not something that any attack could blast open.

However, the formation's eye was not destroyed. The Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth rolled in, beginning to reconstruct the formation.

"Let's go!" Ling Han did not have the time to practice his archery here, and immediately brought Hu Niu into the imperial city. At this time, even if the formation was reactivated, it would be useless. Ling Han had already entered the formation, and if he wanted to break through the formation, it would be countless times easier. He just had to destroy the formation's eye.

"What?!"

"He actually broke through the formation and came in!"

"Impossible, this formation is something that even a Spiritual Infant Tier elite might not be able to break through."

Everyone cried out in shock. This was really unbelievable. Ling Han was only in the Flower Blossom Tier, so how could he possibly instantly break through the imperial city's defensive formation? Could it be that this guy's battle prowess was even more terrifying than a Spiritual Infant Tier elite?

What could they do? Even the protective formation was helpless, so who else could stop Ling Han?

"Young friend, if you have anything to say, just say it to this old man. I believe that no matter how big the matter is, this old man can still make the decision." At this time, an old man appeared. He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, so old that he looked like he could close his eyes at any time, and there was actually a flame burning on top of his head.

This was not a real flame, but the flame of martial arts.

What did the appearance of the flame of martial arts signify?

Forcibly boosting one's vitality, burning one's life force and martial intent as the price, allowing oneself to reach the best state in the later stages of one's life. This was something that couldn't be helped. After a martial artist entered an old age, their blood and Qi would weaken, and their battle prowess would no longer be what it was in the past. Only by burning the flame of martial arts would one be able to battle to the extreme.

But in this way, regardless of victory or defeat, one's vitality would be greatly damaged, and the lifespan that was already not much left in the first place would drop even further. It was even possible that one would directly die after a battle.

"Old Emperor!"

Everyone bowed down one after another, incomparably reverent.

This was the Emperor of the previous generation of Fire Country, and also the "one and only" Flower Blossom Tier cultivator of Fire Country. He had forcibly advanced to this level by relying on the power of the nation, and only in Fire Country would he possess the lifespan of a Flower Blossom Tier cultivator. Otherwise, once he left, with the fact that he had lived for close to three hundred years, he would definitely immediately decay.

In the Desolate North, Flower Blossom Tier cultivators were the "divine tools" that guarded the country and defended against foreign invaders.

Ling Han was too strong. With a single move, he had broken through the Great Formation, forcing the old Emperor to have no choice but to show himself. This was indeed the most dangerous time for Fire Country.

"I only have one request, and that is to stop excavating that ancient mine forever," Ling Han said.

The old Emperor looked hesitant.

That ancient mine could give a Spiritual Pedestal Tier cultivator hope of breaking through, a real hope of breaking through. What did this mean? Fire Country would have more than one Flower Blossom Tier cultivator. Then, it would be possible for Fire Country to sweep over the other eight nations, and unify the Desolate North.

More territory, more population, and stronger power of the nation. Then, Fire Country would also be able to produce more Flower Blossom Tier cultivators. Even if the ancient mine was completely excavated, the power of the nation would not be emptied, and the foundation of Fire Country would be passed down through the ages.

This was too important, so the old Emperor was naturally hesitant.

"All right, this old man agrees to your request." After only an instant, the old Emperor nodded in agreement.

If he could not even pass this hurdle before him, what future would there be?

Ling Han said calmly, "I hope you are not doing it half-heartedly, or else …" He drew out the Demon Birth Sword, and with a slash, nineteen flashes of Sword Qi shot out. Every flash of Sword Qi was covered with ancient characters.

These were the bone patterns that he had obtained from the old Vicious Mongoose. They could increase one's attack power, and could practically be considered a Mystical Power.

His sword slashed towards the skies, and a terrifying scene appeared. It was as if the skies were being torn apart, and a black void actually appeared.

It was too terrifying. The might of this strike was so strong that it was impossible to fathom it!

Everyone trembled. Nineteen flashes of Sword Qi … was this guy really human? Ten flashes of "Qi" and he was already a top-notch king tier, so what kind of concept was nineteen flashes?

In the Flower Blossom Tier, he was definitely invincible!

At this moment, the old Emperor completely dispelled his naive idea of pretending to agree to Ling Han's request. He would first stall for time, and in the future, when eight or ten Flower Blossom Tier warriors appeared, he would then fight Ling Han. What more eight or ten, even eighty or a hundred would be nothing more than a gift.

"I dare not …" He lowered his stance to an extremely low level.

Ling Han nodded, turned around and left. He wanted to properly interrogate Na Zhi Yan.

Cell phone reading was more refreshing.
