As Lu Li thought about it, he continued to compress the formation.
Originally, he wanted to use his own Yuan Qi to put some pressure on Zhang Yan. However, after trying for a long time, he realized that the other party's Yuan Qi was endless. Although the formation seemed to be unstable, it was actually very stable.
Based on this point, he guessed that the other party either had something that could replenish Yuan Qi, or had cultivated for a long time and had extremely rich Yuan Qi.
If this went on, he would not be able to achieve his goal.
Thinking about it, he decided to use another method.
This time, he did not try to shake the formation. Instead, he visualized it with his mind. In an instant, there was a flow of Qi around him. It looked like he was preparing to create a formation that was exactly the same as the one here.
A True Yang Mighty Warrior had the ability to achieve anything he wanted. He did not need to know how the formation worked. As long as he looked at the things here and thought about it, he would naturally be able to recreate it.
Of course, this was because the Nine-link Extinguishing Yang Formation was simple and there was no stabilizing treasure in it. Even if he recreated it, it would not consume much Yuan Qi. Therefore, he could copy it completely.
If he changed it to an exquisite formation, it might not be possible.
Seeing him do this, Zhang Yan could not help but think. Even if this demon set up another formation, the best situation would be to protect himself. It would be difficult for it to pose any threat to the person in charge of the formation, let alone force him out of the formation.
However, he would not do useless things.
Thinking about it again, he might be trying to see through the mysteries of the formation by shining it on him. After understanding it thoroughly, he would come out to break the formation.
Of course, this was just a guess and might not be true. However, one thing was certain. The other party did have the method to replenish Yuan Qi. After all, Fu Qingming and Dan Yi had used more than a year to set up five formations. It was not that they could not be faster, but they had to ensure that they did not lose too much Yuan Qi. However, this person had accomplished it in an instant. It was impossible that he did not have something to rely on.
Even though he was unable to see through the other party's true objective, he didn't just stand there and wait. Instead, he started to deduce the other party's exact location.
Previously, he had sparred with the demons a few times, and found that they all had the ability to evade. As long as he calculated, he would be left with nothing. Only later did he realize that it wasn't because the demons were brilliant, but because he had just grasped the secret technique and hadn't been able to display its true power.
Now, along with the improvement of his Dao Technique, the might of this technique had improved greatly since a long time ago, and it seemed to be even more concealed and restrained. So long as he didn't strike immediately when he schemed against his opponent, then the person he schemed against would most likely be unable to notice it.
The reason why he couldn't do it completely was because there were some treasures that might be able to detect the changes in aura. If the demon was carrying such a treasure, it would be detected if he wasn't careful.
Therefore, he was very cautious when he made his move. After this test, he found that the other party's aura was erratic, but it wasn't completely unfathomable. He had a feeling that as long as he was willing, he was very confident that he could locate the demon's exact location. By then, with the help of the Celestial Serpent Bracelet, he might be able to kill his way into the demon's Primordial Sea.
But it was not the right time yet. The demon must have something to rely on since he dared to come alone. Therefore, he just made a mental note of it and waited for the right time to make his move.
On Lu Li's side, after he visualized the formation, he glanced back and forth and had a general idea.
As a matter of fact, this was just the surface of the formation. When the formation mechanism really changed, it would be a different story. If he wanted to see through the many mysteries of the formation, he would have to concentrate and meditate. Obviously, he couldn't do it now.
Fortunately, this was enough for him. The reason why he did this was to facilitate his next move.
At this moment, he put up his index and middle fingers, made a gesture on the spot and chanted, "There are insects in the world. They are as large as the universe and as small as the dust. They are everywhere, there is no place they can't stay, free and unrestrained, self-sufficient …"
As he chanted, the formation under his feet gradually collapsed, and this trend gradually spread outwards, from the inside to the outside, gradually affecting the outside world.
Zhang Yan raised his eyebrows. He could feel that the formation he was presiding over was actually showing signs of collapsing on its own. However, the other party didn't pressure it with Yuan Qi at this moment. This should be caused by other reasons.
He concentrated at once. Soon, he found the real reason.
At this moment, there were countless tiny insects gnawing at the foundation of the formation and blocking the qi movement. As the formation was being eroded, the number of insects was increasing and the damage they could cause was also increasing.
These insects actually didn't exist. They were created by Lu Li Just Now with his mind. The purpose of their existence in the world was to destroy the formation.
This was not something that could be done easily. Only when the Visualization of Will of God had reached a certain level and was in perfect harmony with one's own Yuan Qi could it be done in an instant.
If it were another True Yang cultivator, even if they could do it, it would take them a lot of time. Also, they wouldn't be able to do it as easily and quickly as Lu Li did.
Zhang Yan could tell that the insects didn't become so powerful at the beginning. Instead, they gradually grew stronger through eating similar formations. Only then could they cause great damage.
Just Now, the demon had copied the formation around him. It should be for this purpose. It existed as the first mouthful of food.
Also, if he wanted to destroy the insects, the other party could respond with Yuan Qi and stop him from doing so. Instead, they would compete with Yuan Qi. However, this time, the other party had the upper hand.
The arrangement here was very ingenious. It could be said that it was a small gain.
This was also the first time he saw Yuan Qi and Will of God used like this. The other party was indeed a demon that had existed for countless years. It was much better than the Scarlet Rat Demon he met before. Moreover, the demon's vision was brilliant and its judgment of the situation was accurate. Even though they were enemies, Lu Li couldn't help but admire the demon.
Theoretically, at this point, he should give up on this formation and retreat to the second formation. However, he thought that since the other party could destroy the first formation, he should be able to destroy the second formation, the third formation, or even more. Under normal circumstances, he would be happy to observe the other party's methods and learn from it. However, it was different now. This was a battle of life and death. As long as there was a chance to turn things around, he couldn't retreat so easily.
At this moment, in the depths of the Heaven Realm, Dan Yi and the other two were refining their artifacts. However, they could see what was going on outside. They also noticed what caused the formation to collapse.
Michito Ichito said in a low voice, "It's a pity. If the formation outside could attack, the demon wouldn't be able to do it so easily."
Fu Qingming shook his head and said, "If it was an offensive formation, it's not impossible to break it. It can only be said that the demon dealt with it perfectly."
Michito Ichito also knew this. However, he only felt pity for the formation itself. It should be known that formations could be coordinated with each other. If it was just a single formation, not only would its power increase, it wouldn't be easily destroyed. However, there wasn't enough time, so it couldn't be perfected. "
Thinking of this, he had a thought. He raised his head and said, "Everyone, do you think that if we go forward and help now, we can work together to kill this demon?"
Fu Qingming shook his head and said, "We can't. That demon gave up on the battle over there and came here instead. That means he's trying to pin us down and disrupt our setup. I'm guessing that he should have a treasure in his possession that can protect him. Even if he's surrounded by several people, he won't be afraid. Now that we've gone out, it's very likely that we've fallen into his trap."
Dan Yi agreed with his opinion. "We don't need to play tricks. As long as we set up everything that needs to be set up, even if the four of them come, we can fight face to face." After a pause, he said seriously, "We believe in Daoist Zhang's ability. With him guarding outside, there shouldn't be any problems."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Yan came up with a countermeasure. He focused slightly and visualized a forbidden formation in his Divine Decree.
This formation was also obtained from the Kun Residence. However, without the previous nine formations, it would have been impossible to create it so quickly.
Seeing that it was completed, he didn't hesitate and immediately projected it into the real world and stacked it on top of the original formation.
The two formations were originally of the same lineage. Now that they were connected, a completely new change was born.
Lu Li was originally very happy to see that the formation was about to be broken. However, suddenly, his senses became very sluggish, as if the world had suddenly become a blur.
It was just that his senses were blocked. He tried to use some strength and he could still force his way through. However, if he relaxed a bit, it would return to its original state. Under such circumstances, it became very difficult to protect the insects.
At this moment, Zhang Yan took advantage of this gap and used his Yuan Qi to kill those bugs.
His real goal wasn't to get rid of these things. Even if they were completely eliminated, as long as the other party was still alive, he could still see them. He just wanted to let them know that he had a way to solve these things. If they continued, it would only be a repeat of the original stalemate. He didn't mind dragging it out.
After Lu Li realized that he couldn't do anything, he didn't persist and gave up on the insects. He thought, "No wonder Ji Yan died in the hands of this person. He really isn't simple."
Back then, when the four of them sensed Ji Yan's death, they suspected that it was Lu Lin and the others. Later, with the appearance of Bu Xutian, they found out that it was someone else.
Among the four demons, Yuan Zun, Dai Gong had actually fought with Zhang Yan. However, at that time, he was only using his avatar. Moreover, he was lured into the Chi Lu by Zhang Yan. Even though his original body wasn't injured, his memories were covered during the battle. This experience was as good as not existing, so it was hard for him to explain it to the others.
Lu Li thought about it again and thought, "Since normal means can't defeat the opponent in a short period of time, then I will have to use my secret skills."
His expression turned serious, and a page appeared in his Divine Will. There were countless golden characters floating on it. Then, he focused his mind and activated it. In an instant, rays of clear light spread out. It looked grand and pure, without any filth. Wherever the light passed, everything turned into nothingness, leaving only a sense of tranquility. The formation that blocked the outside also melted like ice and snow, disappearing in an instant.
