Amidst the cracked earth.
The meteor fell, and a strong pressure made Du Chengwu frown.
"You want to stop me with a mere formation!"
Boom!
He punched out, and the falling meteor instantly turned into powder.
Immediately afterward.
Du Chengwu took a step and flew straight into the sky. His fist was shocking as if he was fighting against heaven and earth.
"So what if it's a formation!"
"I'll tear this world apart today. Let's see what you can use to set up a formation!"
He punched out.
The void was distorted.
The black crack that looked like it was about to crack the sky suddenly expanded. Not only did it not collapse because of Du Chengwu's attack, but it also turned into a vortex of death with the appearance of the attack, trying to swallow him.
Boom!
Vast and powerful earth energy broke out of his body and directly bombarded the black vortex.
Terrifying power.
It directly shook heaven and earth.
"You want to break the formation? Ask me first!" Qin Shujian's face was solemn, and his killing intent was not concealed.
Then, he moved his divine thought.
Du Chengwu immediately felt a tyrannical repulsive force surging from all directions. Before he could do anything to resist, he saw the stars move and the Big Dipper turn.
The next moment.
He was already far away from the sky, falling toward the bottom of the magma valley.
However.
Just as Du Chengwu was close to the magma, a powerful force erupted from his body, directly resisting the repulsive force from space and stopped his body.
But just as he stabilized himself.
Black lightning fell from the sky, and the aura of destruction was mighty.
At the same time.
The cracking of the earth became more serious, and endless magma surged out from the ground, vowing to swallow him.
"Insignificant skill!"
Du Chengwu was shocked, but he still looked arrogant. He took a step forward and stamped out the magma surging out. Then, he punched the sky and shattered the black lightning.
Although he did not have a way to break the formation at this moment.
However.
Du Chengwu was not in a hurry at all.
Any formation needed an endless supply of energy to support it in order for it to operate.
A formation that lost the support of energy was like a child's play, and it would be a joke.
He was not confident that he could break the formation.
However, he was confident that he could drag it out until Qin Shujian's True Essence and Divine Will ran out.
"Qin Shujian, I'm at the peak of the Saint Realm. You're only at the first tier of the Celestial Realm. What do you have to compete with me? When you can't hold on any longer, you'll die!"
Du Chengwu smiled proudly. No matter how many attacks fell on him, they couldn't do anything to him.
A severely wounded Saint.
That was still a saint.
Without reaching this level, how could one understand the mysteries of becoming a Saint?
In the sky.
Countless streams of energy converged and finally transformed into the projection of Qin Shujian.
"Du Chengwu, why don't we make a bet? Let's see if you'll break the formation first or if I'll kill you first."
"This Marquis will bet with you!"
Du Chengwu sneered. Then, a stream of Gang Qi shot out and destroyed the shadow.
On the other side.
Qin Shujian's eyes were cold. Du Chengwu wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to kill Du Chengwu.
The battle between the two sides had only just begun.
The formation was set up.
It consumed Divine Will power to maintain it every moment.
However, the power of Divine Will depended on the Spiritual Deity. Qin Shujian's Spiritual Deity power had already accumulated to a terrifying level when he was in the Divine Martial Realm.
Now, he had broken through to the Celestial Realm.
He had undergone an unprecedented transformation.
"Compete with Divine Will. I'll exhaust you to death!"
Qin Shujian sneered. Then, a vast amount of Divine Will came out of his body and poured into the formation.
His Divine Sense spread out, accompanied by an incalculable number of runes that appeared in the void.
"The first step — Apotheosis!"
Buzz!
Endless mighty force pressed down from the sky. Du Chengwu unleashed his Gang Qi, but he couldn't stop the erosion of this mighty force at all.
As the mighty force fell.
He immediately sensed that his Spiritual Spirit had suffered some kind of seal, and had been weakened by no less than thirty percent.
On the other side.
Qin Shujian's face was a little pale.
Sealing Du Chengwu's Spiritual Deity consumed too much Divine Will power. Even with his foundation, he couldn't bear it.
However.
Qin Shujian was prepared for this.
He took out several Vitality Pills and swallowed them in one gulp.
The Spiritual Deity that had been consumed recovered a lot.
"Spirit Seal!"
"Vein Seal!"
"Qi and Blood Seal!"
With each order, Qin Shujian's face turned a little paler. He had to take out the Vitality Pills and continue to swallow them.
At the back.
Almost every time he had a thought, he would immediately take the pills to maintain it.
Fortunately, he had prepared a lot of Vitality Pills in his storage ring to maintain the operation of the formation.
But later, as his strength became stronger and stronger, there were few people who could make him exhaust his Spiritual Deity.
So.
Thus, these Vitality Pills were placed aside.
At this moment, they played a role in the battle against Du Chengwu.
In the formation.
Before Du Chengwu could react, he found that his Divine Will, Qi and Blood, and Vital Essence had all been weakened by several levels.
That kind of weakening.
It was like the shackles of a low-level area.
But compared to the shackles, this kind of seal was much weaker.
But no matter how weak it was, such a change made Du Chengwu's face change.
He was weakened in all aspects.
His overall strength was reduced by thirty to forty percent.
He was already in a seriously injured state. Now that he was weakened, his strength directly fell to the level of Saint.
"The rules of heaven and earth!"
"The rules of one's own!"
"You are not in the first realm of Array Guru. You are in the second realm of Guru!"
Du Chengwu was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim.
If he didn't know before, then at this moment, he had already understood what kind of strong person he was facing.
The second realm of Guru!
It was completely beyond Du Chengwu's expectation.
For a long time, according to the information he had received, Qin Shujian was only in the first realm of Guru.
And in the battle the day before yesterday.
The other party didn't show the means of the second realm of Guru.
"He hid it so well!"
In an instant, Du Chengwu figured out why the other party didn't show the means of the second realm of Guru last time.
It was nothing more than wanting to numb him.
And then at the critical moment, he set him up.
Just like now.
"Du Chengwu, your death date is here!" Although Qin Shujian's face was pale, his voice was full of energy. His voice was like the sound of heaven, reverberating in heaven and earth.
In the formation, he was the master of heaven and earth.
This was the horror of the second realm of Guru.
The transformation of the formation was no longer as simple as a simple formation. It was more like directly evolving into a small world.
The rules inside were all under his control.
The reason why Saints were called Saints was that they could control the power of heaven and earth, like gods above all living beings.
But in this formation.
Except for the person who set up the formation, no one could control the power of heaven and earth.
So.
The most powerful means of a Saint expert was equivalent to being half crippled.
Of course, even if they couldn't control the power of heaven and earth, a Saint expert was still extremely powerful and could destroy everything with his own strength.
However —
Such an expert definitely didn't include the current Du Chengwu.
As Qin Shujian finished speaking.
The next moment.
The sun and the moon were reversed, and heaven and earth were turned upside down.
A terrifying killing intent descended in an instant. Du Chengwu stomped on the ground and roared, "So what if you are in the second realm of Guru? I will still kill you!"
—
Outside.
The battle was still going on.
Dan Hao's battle strength was monstrous, and Shen Hong's strength was not weak either. The two sides fought for half a day, but it was difficult to determine the winner.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Shen Hong was actually at a disadvantage.
It was just that the gap was too subtle, so it was not easy to see.
Below.
The army formed a military formation, and their Qi and blood soared into the sky, dying the sky a murderous blood-red.
However —
Now, the experts on both sides had not completely entered the battlefield.
Only a few of the seven lords took action, and the rest were watching on the sidelines, remaining motionless.
As for the imperial court —
There were also many cultivators on the city wall holding the line.
It was only the first day, and neither the imperial court nor the rebels had completely tested each other's strength.
Under such circumstances —
No one would directly erupt into a final battle.
The imperial court was speculating, and the rebels were also worried.
"There are not many experts in the Imperial Astronomer set up by the Human Emperor. Could it be that they have other plans?" Behind Gu Changqing, a silver-haired middle-aged man said softly.
The Demon Clan — Eagle Saint!
As a Demon Saint, as long as he did not reveal his true form, even if he stood in front of everyone, no one could see through his identity.
Once the Demon Clan succeeded in transforming.
They were no different from ordinary people.
This was especially true when one reached the level of Eagle Saint, who had achieved perfection in this step.
Hearing this —
Gu Changqing said calmly, "It's only the first day, and the people from the Imperial Astronomer are probably watching the battlefield. The news of you taking action should have been leaked, and the imperial court must have taken precautions.
However — "
Speaking of this —
A meaningful smile appeared on his face. "So what if they are prepared? We don't have such a trump card."
Beside him —
Eagle Saint and Ghost Saint looked at each other, and their expressions did not change.
To them, the Imperial Astronomer was indeed worthy of fear.
However —
They were just afraid for a moment.
How many experts could be born in the human race for thousands of years? At most, there were a few mighty figures.
But even among the mighty figures, there was still a gap.
This time, the Demon Clan had sent out two Demon Saints, but secretly, they had responded to Gu Changqing's request and sent out a few more Demon Saints.
Every Demon Saint.
They had existed for no less than ten thousand years, and their strength was incredible.
Although they might not be able to deal with the entire human race, it was not a big problem to deal with the Imperial Astronomer.
After all, the Heavenly Demon Temple had a strong foundation.
But the Imperial Astronomer was comparable.
When the Demon Emperor established the Heavenly Demon Temple, the Human Emperor had not been born yet.
"Do you want me to take action?" Ghost Saint's eyes flashed coldly.
Gu Changqing shook his head. "No hurry. It won't be too late for us to take action when the Imperial Astronomer takes action. Looking at the current situation, we don't have much of a problem."
Indeed.
Looking at the current situation, they were not at a disadvantage in terms of top experts.
The Marquis of the Imperial Academy were all Saints.
With the Dao Artifact of the Imperial Academy in hand, they could even fight against a Half Mighty figure.
In the imperial court hall —
A round mirror floated in the air, and the scene shown in the mirror was the battle outside the imperial city.
Xi Yang looked at the battle in the mirror, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As for the civil and military officials in the imperial court, they all remained silent. An invisible murderous intent filled the air.
"Dear ministers, what do you think of this battle?"
"Your Majesty, looking at the current battle situation, the rebels are only so-so. With General Shan and the others, there is nothing to worry about."
A minister flattered and said with a flattering smile.
As soon as he finished speaking —
Xi Yang did not say anything, but many of the civil and military officials below smiled sarcastically.
They were not mocking the battle situation.
Instead, they were mocking the other party's flattery.
The battle was obviously evenly matched, and there was no clear winner or loser between the two sides. At this time, saying that the rebels were only so-so was no different from saying empty words.
Then —
Someone stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, I sincerely request to take action!"
"Approved!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After that person received the order, he straightened his back and turned to leave the imperial court.
At this time, those who requested to take action were mostly military officials.
As for the civil officials —
Although his strength was not weak, it was rare for him to personally make a move in the current situation.
"Men!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Pass down my order. Now that the rebels are strong, please ask the people of the Imperial Astronomer to quell the rebellion. There must be no mistakes."
"Your Majesty!"
"Go."
Xi Yang waved his hand, and then refocused his attention on the round mirror in front of him.
Now that the army had reached the gates of the imperial city.
He wanted to see if the people of the Imperial Astronomer could really sit still.
If at this juncture —
If the Imperial Astronomer still refused to take action, he could leave some people behind and find a way to suppress them in the future.
However —
These thoughts only flashed through Xi Yang's mind and quickly disappeared.
In the end —
It was still because he did not have enough power in his hands.
If he had enough power, why would he have to worry so much?
If they did not listen to his orders, then it was fine. He could just wave his hand and destroy them. There was no need to do so many things.
Outside the city.
The battle was still going on.
In the blink of an eye, two or three days had passed.
During this period —
There was also the practice of retreating. After all, if ordinary soldiers continued to fight for a few days, no one would be able to withstand such a consumption.
However, the battle at the Celestial level never stopped.
Ever since the rebels besieged the imperial city, the world's attention was focused on this place.
For the cultivation world —
The rise and fall of the imperial court and the change of power had a lot of impact on them.
But now —
Not many people were willing to get involved in this muddy water.
Whether the imperial court won or the rebels won, once they stood on the wrong side, it would be troublesome to settle the score afterward.
Although the imperial court and the cultivation world were separated —
But some things —
They were not really separated just because they said they were.
Of course —
There were also some experts from the sects who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits and participate without permission.
No matter what —
The battle in the imperial city was now intense to a certain extent.
Boom!!
The spear pierced through the air and swept over with the force of Mount Tai.
Shen Hong had been fighting for a few days and had consumed a lot of energy. In the face of this peerless spear, he could not block it for a moment.
There was a loud bang that shook the sky.
Shen Hong's body flew out, and a rain of blood fell from the sky.
"Shen Hong can't die!"
Gu Changqing's eyes glinted coldly as he immediately said.
Now, if a peak Saint expert were to fall, the situation would become troublesome.
The resistance from the Great Zhao was as strong as they had expected. It even showed signs of surpassing their expectations.
Thousands of years of foundation.
At this moment, it was finally revealed.
In this way —
Shen Hong could not die. Once Shen Hong died, their side would lack a peak Saint Realm master. If they wanted to suppress the Great Zhao Empire, they would have to face a lot of difficulties.
Then —
Gu Changqing looked at the Ghost Sage and said, "I hope you can save Shen Hong. Otherwise, if Shen Hong dies, I'm afraid our deal will be difficult to maintain."
"Got it."
The Ghost Sage glanced at him, and in the next moment, he disappeared from where he stood.
In the sky —
Shen Hong was injured in one blow and was completely at a disadvantage.
After a simple conversation, the Marquis of Wuan was already in a miserable state.
Just as he was about to lose.
A ray of black light shot into the sky. Dan Hao had a crazy warning in his heart and retreated without thinking.
Boom —
As soon as he took a step back, a terrifying force bombarded the void where he was standing.
A terrifying force exploded.
It caused the void to distort violently as if it would shatter at any time.
"Who are you!"
Dan Hao stood in the air with his spear and looked at the Ghost Sage in front of him. His eyes narrowed slightly.
He felt a great threat from the other party.
This threat.
It was definitely a feeling that a cultivator of the same level could give.
In other words —
"Almighty!" Dan Hao said softly. His expression was unprecedentedly serious.
On the other side —
The moment the Ghost Sage attacked, it attracted the attention of the other experts who were watching the battle.
Many people were puzzled by this unfamiliar cultivator.
However, after hearing Dan Hao's words, everyone's expression changed.
Almighty!
The person who attacked was an almighty.
Especially the imperial court. They immediately felt a great pressure.
In an instant —
Some people's thoughts turned wildly as they began to guess the identity of this almighty.
Then, their eyes fell on Gu Changqing. They thought of some rumors and their expressions changed again.
In the sky —
The Ghost Sage stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at Dan Hao calmly and said, "I'll give you a chance. If you kneel now, I can spare your life."
"Kneel? You're not worthy!"
Dan Hao's eyes turned cold as he retorted mercilessly.
So what if he was an almighty?
He had already reached the Half Almighty Realm.
Since the other party did not give him face, he did not need to give him face either.
As for fear —
Dan Hao had not been afraid of anyone in the past few thousand years.
"I hope you can still be so stubborn later!"
After saying that —
The Ghost Sage had already disappeared into the distance.
He was so fast that it was as if he was teleporting.
Dan Hao did not need to look with his eyes. His spear stabbed out at a mysterious angle and met the Ghost Sage's attack.
In an instant —
The two of them had fought over a hundred times.
There were only two afterimages in the sky. No one could see the situation clearly.
"Dan Hao, you're in trouble!"
The gray-robed old woman saw this and shook her head. She looked unhappy.
Logically speaking, with Dan Hao's strength, he should not be defeated so quickly.
After all, the difference between a Half Almighty and an almighty was only a small realm. Even if there was a huge gap, the gap should not be so huge.
The reason was —
It was because Dan Hao had first defeated Shen Hong and consumed a large amount of True Essence. Moreover, Ghost Hand was not an ordinary almighty.
As a result, the gap was a little big.
In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were fighting as fast as lightning. It was impossible to tell who was stronger.
However, in the eyes of the old woman —
Dan Hao was being led by the Ghost Sage.
If the Ghost Sage was fast, he had to be fast. If the Ghost Sage was slow, he would be slow too.
The entire battle had been under the control of the Ghost Sage since the beginning.
Once he could not keep up with the rhythm, he would be defeated.
"It will be difficult to break out of this." The gray-robed old woman looked at the battle in the sky and had no intention of interfering.
Dan Hao was now only one step away from becoming an almighty.
If he could fight with a real almighty, he might have a chance to comprehend and break through.
Therefore, the current situation was a crisis, but it was also an excellent opportunity.
"However —"
"Although this person looks unfamiliar, his moves are a little familiar. Demon race, humph!"
The gray-robed old woman snorted coldly in her heart.
Others did not know the identity of the Ghost Sage.
However, it was impossible for her not to know.
When the Human Emperor was fighting the demons, the Imperial Astronomer was also a weapon to attack the demons. As one of the experts in the Imperial Astronomer, the gray-robed old woman's knowledge was not comparable to others.
In the entire battle —
Apart from the battle between Dan Hao and the Ghost Sage, only the battle between Qin Shujian and Du Chengwu attracted her attention.
Although the array was set up —
Even with her strength, she could not directly penetrate it to see the result of the battle.
However, she could vaguely see some clues from the fluctuations of the aura.
At this moment —
In the array —
The doomsday-like world had suddenly changed into a world that seemed to be made of ice.
Du Chengwu was not as high-spirited as he was at the beginning. He looked extremely battered and had suffered many injuries.
As for Qin Shujian —
Now, his face was so pale that it was frightening. Every once in a while, he would take a Vitality Pill to maintain the power of the array and then continuously attack Du Chengwu.
Bang!!
The space suddenly collapsed, and endless space blades erupted from it.
Du Chengwu's face was ferocious. He punched out. While destroying the space blades, he was also pushed back by the force, and there were a few more wounds on his body.
"Qin Shujian, is this all you can do?"
"The array has been maintained for so long. Your strength can't help but be consumed!"
"You can't outlast me. When the array is broken, I'll tear you into pieces!"
Du Chengwu was no longer as angry as he was at the beginning. His voice was just frighteningly cold.
Although his injuries were not light at the moment —
However, he could also feel that the power of the array was gradually weakening.
This meant that Qin Shujian's strength was also constantly weakening.
"Kill me? Why don't I kill you first!"
At the same time, the space suddenly shattered as an astral finger pierced through the void and blasted towards Du Chengwu.
In response —
Du Chengwu was already prepared. He punched out and destroyed the finger energy.
It was also at this moment —
A figure that was a hundred feet tall came directly in the air. A palm that was like a huge millstone crushed over with a loud bang.
