Hiss! Hiss!
Suddenly, 24 sharp knives appeared in the void.
"Sword array formation!"
Hao Ren used all his 1,280 sword energies.
Four Gates Base Guard Array Formation! The sword energies formed four walls to stop the enemies.
"The so-called Seven Killing Array Formation is used to eliminate the seven emotions and six desires of mortals. They are joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire," Penglai Island Master's voice sounded vaguely.
The 24 sharp knives formed two circles and hacked toward Hao Ren.
Hao Ren's more than 1,000 sword energies shot up at the same time. Instantly, this corner of the small island was lit up. After reaching top-tier Dui-level, which was equivalent to the Nascent Soul Realm, Hao Ren was no longer as vulnerable as before when he used the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
However, the 24 sharp knives pierced through the sword energies and slid toward Hao Ren's body.
Illusion array formation.
Heart attack array formation.
Feeling the cold knives stabbing into his body, Hao Ren instantly fell into the ethereal illusion array formation.
Joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire!
Winning the basketball game, being admitted to the college entrance exam, his parents' happiness, and his wedding … Scenes flashed before Hao Ren's eyes.
"Wedding?"
Hao Ren froze, but he couldn't see who was wearing the red wedding dress.
"Master, no cultivator below the Soul Formation Realm has ever broken the Seven Killing Array Formation," Qingfeng and Mingyue stood beside Penglai Island Master and said in a low voice.
Penglai Island Master touched his fat, wrinkled face and smiled without saying a word.
They were standing five meters in front of Hao Ren, but Hao Ren couldn't see them. At this moment, Hao Ren was standing under a peach tree with his eyes closed and his fists clenched.
The Seven Killing Array Formation wasn't an array formation that attacked the body but the mind. Even the most powerful cultivators had their own problems that they couldn't solve, and these problems would become the obstacles for them when they reached the highest realms.
For example, Duan Yao wanted to defeat Hao Ren, so she would seek revenge on him one day. In other words, she would cut off her inner demons one day.
The cultivators who had reached the Soul Formation Realm had no worries and could successfully break through the Heavenly Tribulation and reach the Earth Immortal Realm.
Hao Ren was young, and his realm was not low. He was not bad in all aspects. This Seven Killing Array could test his state of mind.
In the illusion array, Hao Ren saw girls running toward him one by one. Some were familiar, and some were not. Even Jiang Yuan and Lin Li were among them.
However, he could not see who the woman with the red veil was.
Hao Ren knew it was an illusion array formation, but he wanted to remove the red veil. However, he hesitated when he reached out. "Who could it be?"
"Master, he can't even pass the first level," the two kids said when they saw Hao Ren standing still.
They weren't happy that Penglai Island Master thought so highly of Hao Ren.
"He can at least pass the fifth level," Penglai Island Master said.
Standing in front of them, Hao Ren gritted his teeth and suddenly moved his fingers.
Bang!
One of the colorful lights floating above Penglai Island suddenly turned into powder and dissipated in the wind.
"This kid's ambition is not small." Penglai Island Master patted his old face and said, "Five … Six. It's good that he can face his heart."
Qingfeng and Mingyue couldn't see what was happening in the illusion array, but they saw Hao Ren pass the first level. They pouted and said, "There is still the second level."
While they spoke, Hao Ren suddenly moved his body and used a set of fist techniques.
His punches were powerful, and his feet created gusts of wind.
In the illusion array, Hao Ren saw Qin Shaoyang's provocative attacks. He thought it was an illusion that came from his heart, so he ignored it. However, Qin Shaoyang's golden weaving shuttle hit Hao Ren's body, and Hao Ren felt excruciating pain!
To pass the level, he had to defeat Qin Shaoyang to vent his anger!
Crack! In the illusion array, Qin Shaoyang was shattered into pieces by Hao Ren.
Black Wolf, the assassin master, escaped from the Dragon God Shrine and chased after Hao Ren …
Zeng Yitao, the Crown Prince of West Ocean, led the elders of West Ocean to capture Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi …
Three top-tier Qian-level metal-elemental dragon cultivators arrived in the blink of an eye. Hao Ren stood in the house by the sea, and the three metal-elemental dragons' goal was to destroy the house …
Hao Ren was surrounded by sword energies, and he cut off some leaves from the peach tree beside him.
"The second level isn't easy to pass," the two kids couldn't help but say.
Anger was hard to suppress and dispel. On the path of cultivation, battles were inevitable. One could either overcome difficulties with the strength of King Kong or be trampled by others.
Penglai Island Master looked at Hao Ren, wanting to see what kind of opponents Hao Ren had faced before. When he saw that Hao Ren's opponents were all powerful, he was a bit pleased.
The second level was much more difficult than the first. Hao Ren's sword energies danced for one hour, and he still couldn't pass the level.
Many powerful cultivators couldn't pass the level of 'anger'. They were either injured by their own anger or defeated by the opponents in the illusion array.
Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other and were about to say that Hao Ren would probably fail this level. Suddenly, Hao Ren released all his nature essence, and 1,280 sword energies shot up into the sky.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky.
Qingfeng and Mingyue, who were still at low-tier Nascent Soul Realm, looked alarmed.
Penglai Island Master opened his right hand, and the heavenly lightning bolt struck his palm and condensed into a lightning ball.
He threw it into the distance, and the level 10 demon beasts lurking in the ocean leaped out of the water. These level 10 demon beasts had been waiting for the Heavenly Tribulation all the time. Seeing the lightning bolt, they scrambled for it.
Bang!
The second colorful light from Penglai Island suddenly disappeared.
In the illusion array, Hao Ren felt exhausted after defeating all of his opponents. Suddenly, the scenes of his grandpa passing away and his grandma visiting his grandpa's grave with his grandma appeared in his mind.
Suddenly, the scene of his grandma lying on the sickbed appeared in Hao Ren's vision.
Hao Ren's heart felt like it was hit by a huge hammer; he was shocked and sad.
Then, the scenes of his family breaking up and leaving his friends and family appeared one after another. The happy scenes were shattered one after another.
"Mortals are always angry. Let's see if they can pass this level," Penglai Island Master who had been silent for a long time suddenly said.
Hum … Hum …
Hao Ren's sword energies suddenly resonated with each other. These sword energies were the manifestation of Hao Ren's nature essence and his mood.
Hua …
The sword energies suddenly scattered in all directions, and the sad scenes in the illusion array shattered like glass.
Bang!
The third colorful light that engulfed Penglai Island slowly dispersed.
All kinds of horrifying and worrying scenes attacked Hao Ren like a nightmare.
Those who weren't strong-willed or had ulterior motives wouldn't be able to pass this level.
Hao Ren had the confidence and courage to protect the people around him and break the 'sorrow'. Of course, he also had the confidence and courage to break the 'fear'. The sword energies flashed, and the fourth colorful light suddenly shattered and disappeared.
Even Qingfeng and Mingyue, the two personal attendants of Penglai Island Master, were surprised by Hao Ren's performance.
"Qingfeng, Mingyue, who was the last person who broke the Seven Killing Array?" Penglai Island Master asked suddenly.
"About 1,000 years ago, a small demon king who transformed into a human form," the two attendants answered.
They hadn't seen it with their own eyes, but they had heard about it from Penglai Island Master.
"That Little Demon King had no parents. He was unrestrained and had no worries. He was also born with divine power. With a pure heart, he broke my Seven Killing Formation."
Penglai Island Master said as he glanced at Hao Ren who was standing under the peach tree with a frown on his face. "This little cultivator has parents and worries, but he passed four levels in a row with his pure protective force."
Three more colorful lights circled around Penglai Island along with the heavenly music.
Love, hate, and lust.
The last three levels of the Seven Killing Array contained the deepest emotions in people's hearts.
If one could let go of love, hate, and lust, he would be able to break through the Seven Killing Array.
"His mortal heart is too heavy, and he can't pass the fifth level," the little boy said.
Bang!
The fifth colorful light suddenly shattered.
Great love! In the fifth level, one could pass it without love or with great love. As long as one didn't have any obsessive love, one could keep a peaceful mind.
"Then, in the sixth level, I'm sure …" the little boy continued.
Bang!
The sixth ray of colorful light shattered as well.
"This …" The little boy turned his head and looked at his master in bafflement.
When there was joy, there would be love, and when there was anger, there would be hate. In the Seven Killing Array, the first and fifth levels and the second and sixth levels were like two dead knots.
Penglai Island Master shook his head with a smile and didn't explain.
He had expected that Hao Ren could break through the fifth level, but he didn't expect that Hao Ren could break through the sixth level. Cultivators had to face all kinds of powerful enemies. In the illusion, Penglai Island Master saw that Hao Ren's opponents were each stronger than the last, but Hao Ren didn't hate any of them.
One thought could change the world, and one thought could change life and death.
If Hao Ren could break the Seven Killing Array, he would be the second person in history to do so.
The body array was easy to break, but the mind array was hard.
With such a state of mind, it wouldn't be hard for Hao Ren to ascend to the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
Penglai Island Master looked at Hao Ren, waiting to see if he could break the last level.
The Seven Killing Array was the most powerful mind array in the world. Breaking the Seven Killing Array meant destroying one's self. Even Soul Formation Realm cultivators might not be able to break the last level.
If Hao Ren could pass the Seven Killing Array, he could pass the Heavenly Tribulation; if he could pass the Heavenly Tribulation, he might not be able to pass the Seven Killing Array.
The faintly discernible heavenly music made Hao Ren feel dizzy.
After breaking through six levels in a row, almost everything about him was seen through. The last level was the closest to one's deepest desire. If he couldn't hold it, he would fall into the devil's path.
Penglai Island Master, whose skin looked like thousand-year-old tree roots, stared at Hao Ren with his big and small eyes, waiting to see if Hao Ren could break through the last level.
Hum! Hum! Hum!
The golden shield that had been sleeping in Hao Ren's necklace suddenly sensed the intense nature essence outside and rushed out of Hao Ren's necklace.
Squeak …
Finding that the nature essence here was unprecedentedly abundant, it spun and swept up the vast nature essence on Penglai Island without caring where it was! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
