As soon as Zhang Yan stepped into the place where the sword light was, he felt that the Spiritual Vigor here seemed to be locked by layers of invisible forces. The further he went, the tighter it became. He looked over and saw that at the end of the road, there was a planet that was not very big. As he had expected, there was a large array on it.
He thought for a moment. Lord Zhongling must have come here to recover his vitality and get a chance to catch his breath. The longer he stayed here, the longer he would need to recover. Therefore, he had to break the formation as soon as possible.
Therefore, he came here to attack Wujue Heaven, so he had prepared many things to break the formation. Some of them were even exchanged with Karma points. He lifted his sleeve and took out a jade bottle. He removed the cork, held the bottle, and poured the contents down.
Not long after, numerous golden balls the size of stones leaped out from the formation, and they seemed to be connected by a thin thread. When they fell, they lightly trembled and produced a strange sound, similar to the cry of a phoenix. The faster they pierced through the air, the louder the sound became. In the end, they almost converged into one, and when they collided with the Invisible Restrictive Formation, crackling sounds of explosions resounded, and traces of golden flames burst forth.
This treasure was known as the 'Cry of the Phoenix'. It contained the Golden Pill of Breaking Qi. When it was released, billions of them would surge forth at the same time, one after the other, flowing continuously. They would drill into the weak gaps on their own. Even if they were broken, they would not stop. If the formation was entangled too deeply with them, it would cut off the connection of spiritual vigor, causing the circulation of qi to be shaky, which would then produce more flaws and loopholes. According to the Green Jade Palace, this treasure was made by a Secret Palace Elder with high cultivation. It had always been used to break the formation.
It turned out that he was not exaggerating. In just half an hour, the formation below was torn open and a passable gap appeared.
When Zhang Yan saw this, he activated his Dharma power even faster. At the same time, he formed hundreds of sword lights and shot them into the formation, trying to find out the situation inside.
At this moment, Lord Zhongling was hiding in the depths of the formation. He kept swallowing the jade dew placed here in an attempt to recover his vitality.
He had always treated this Earth Star as an important base, but he did not trust others. All the formations were arranged by himself.
Although he was not an expert in this field, he had been immersed in it for a long time. His arrangements were also quite tight. If outsiders wanted to break in, it would not be as easy as attacking the mountain gate and breaking the formation.
However, there was a limit to this, because in the Ye Hai Tian, most of the Spiritium were under the control of the Ao Brothers and the other aquatic creatures. If he were to overdo it, he would be exposed. Thus, the Spiritium had to be accumulated bit by bit over a long period of time.
This meant that although the array could hold for a while, if it was attacked for a long period of time, it would have to rely on the spiritual power of the guardian of the array to maintain it.
Fortunately, his own advantage lay in the depth of his transcendence energy. Under normal circumstances, he was confident that he could resist any invading enemy here. However, after exchanging blows with Zhang Yan, he was somewhat lacking in confidence. The transcendence energy that the latter had displayed was not inferior to his, so he could only stall for time.
Just Now, not long after he had stabilized himself, he felt a strong disturbance in the array. He used his senses to check and found out that one after another strange golden pellets were bombarding the array. At the same time, he could feel that the array was being weakened.
He snorted and sat down. He placed his hand on the center of the array and infused his transcendence energy into it. He thought, This is just another battle of transcendence energy. However, I have a lot of external herbs here, I don't believe that this person can outlast me!
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrow as he saw that the attacking momentum was slightly hindered. Because of the restriction array, he was unable to sense the Qi inside the array. If Lord Zhongling took this opportunity to go to a place that he had never been to before, then he would be able to shake him off. Now that the array was even more stable than before, it was clear that someone was controlling it. This meant that the person had not left. This was good news, so he slightly increased his transcendence energy and the golden pellets fell even faster.
Both sides attacked and defended, and soon, more than two hours passed. However, the situation was in a stalemate. Zhang Yan knew that he had to think of a way to break out of this situation. With a thought, a spiritual light flashed, and an item flew out from his sleeve. On the surface, it looked like a bamboo tube, but inside it was a refined sand called "Mountain Shifting Sand". Under the guidance of transcendence energy, it could suddenly become as heavy as a mountain, and then as light as a feather. It was impossible to break the array with just this item, but if it was used with the golden pellets, it would produce a miraculous effect.
In fact, he had more items to break the array. If the array still couldn't be broken, then he would come down and show his opponent all of them.
At this moment, he pulled out the bamboo tube. Immediately, an endless amount of black sand was blown away by the wind. After it spread out in the sky, he waved his sleeve, and all of the sand changed from its Just Now appearance and suddenly fell down! In just a few breaths' time, rumbling explosions rang out from below, and one could see that there were holes all over the formation. Although the formation was trying its best to mend the holes, the golden pellets were still able to penetrate through them, seeping into the holes one after another.
After he saw this, he decisively decided to increase his strength. So, he stretched out his hand and pressed it down. A large hand pressed down on the Restriction Formation. Another loud sound came from below, and the Restriction Formation actually collapsed under this attack. However, at this point, it could be seen that there was not just one Restriction Formation below, but there were layers upon layers of it. Right now, it was only the outermost layer that had been broken.
Even so, his expression didn't change. Since he could break one array now, then he could break two, three, or even more, but it would definitely take longer. However, this didn't mean that he had no other way. This was Page Sea Sky, the territory of his alliance, and he could use external forces. He waved his sleeve and flicked a talisman into the distance.
Although Lord Zhongling had been on guard, he didn't expect Zhang Yan to have such a powerful array breaking treasure. Just Now, there was no time to salvage the situation. He could only carefully maintain the remaining array. In order to salvage the situation, he flicked a flame from his finger and lit a copper furnace in front of him. Smoke curled up into the sky.
Zhang Yan immediately felt that his vision was separated by a layer of fog, and his senses became abnormally blurry. He knew that the other party was using some sort of technique, so he immediately blew out a mouthful of clear air. However, although the fog dispersed quite a bit, it gathered again in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that the effect was not great.
He thought for a while and came up with an idea. With a thought, a demonic image gradually condensed behind him. However, this time it didn't completely materialize. Only a pair of demonic eyes floated in the sky. Using this, he immediately saw through the netherworld, and the scenery below was clearly revealed. He flicked his sleeve and the golden pellets and fine sand moved again, continuing to wear down the array.
After ten breaths of time, there was a sudden movement in the distance. In the void, a door of the array opened wide, and then a ray of clear light passed through it. When it reached the outside, it dispersed and Shao Wenchao's figure appeared. He first looked down, and his expression instantly turned ugly. Then, he came up and said, "Just Now I received the true message, only then did I know that the demon actually set up an array in my Ye Hai Tian. It seems that I have been too negligent."
Zhang Yan said, "This demon has some relations with I Sect, and has once listened to the teachings of the founding master. His tricks are not comparable to those little demons, so it was inevitable that you didn't notice."
Shao Wenchao shook his head and said, "In the end, it was my negligence." After a pause, he said, "This time, I brought a lot of items to break the array."
As he spoke, he took out a big red jade bead from his sleeve and held it in his palm. He said, "At this time, the residence's Treasure Mountain Flood Bead can be used to extract spiritual vigor and break the foundation. With your permission, I will break the array with you."
Zhang Yan nodded and said, "Then I will have to trouble you, my friend."
Shao Wenchao channeled his powers slightly and threw the bead down. A red ray of light appeared in the sky from top to bottom, as if it brought along a trail of blood, and landed on the top of the formation. After a while, he felt the spiritual vigor from all directions gathering in the bead.
Lord Zhongling immediately sensed that something was wrong. The spiritual vigor on Earth Star was already scarce, but now it was being forcibly taken away, causing the original battle formation to weaken. More importantly, he found that Ye Haitian's cultivators had intervened, and he didn't know if there would be more people coming. If he continued to fight, he would only continue to waste his spiritual power, and it would be useless.
Since his foundation was calculated, he tried his best to avoid a head-on battle. Now that he saw that the battle was not going well, he immediately thought of retreating. However, the previous battle proved that no matter where he went, Zhang Yan would feel that he was returning to the original path.
He pondered for a while and said, "It seems like I can only hide somewhere first. Although it is a little risky, it is worth a try."
Outside the array, under the joint attack of Zhang Yan and Shao Wenchao, the array was peeled off layer by layer. However, the two of them could clearly feel that after the Coral Bead fell, the array was weakened a lot. This was probably not only because of the treasure, but also because Lord Zhongling was no longer in the mood to fight, so he increased his strength.
Just a moment later, the last restriction array was broken, and the fog that was spreading outside also dissipated. The entire Earth Star was finally exposed to the two of them.
Zhang Yan looked down and sensed his surroundings, but he did not see Lord Zhongling. It seemed that he had hidden somewhere else.
He waited for a while, but this time, none of the sword clones returned. This meant that this person didn't go to that place. Because this person had escaped from the Forbidden Formation first, his sword clones were unable to follow him in time. It was very likely that this person had gone to a place he had never been to before. If this was the case, then this pursuit could only come to an end.
However, there was a question. If Lord Zhongling had this escape route, he could have escaped to that place immediately after entering the array. Why did he stay and fight with him? Could it be that he wanted to exhaust his mana?
After thinking about it for a while, he looked around and found that something was wrong. The mysterious hole opened up and swallowed everything around it. His sword gleam traveled fearlessly in it, but it did not mean that other things were unaffected. However, there was no damage on this Earth Star at all. How was this possible? His eyes flickered. Perhaps, this person did not leave at all, and was still hiding somewhere in this place.
