The Sealing Formation
"Alright."
Ning Yue nodded.
As the saying went, one had to lower one's head.
That was Ning Yue's current state.
The King of Stones was a first-grade Earth Supreme. He could kill Chen Fan with a wave of his hand.
Ning Yue had to be careful not to offend the King of Stones.
Drip!
Time was ticking away.
There was still half an hour before the lava receded.
During this half an hour, Ning Yue sat cross-legged and began to circulate a spell to absorb the surrounding Primordial Qi to replenish his body.
The temperature of the lava was extremely high. Ning Yue didn't want to be roasted the first time he entered.
According to Ning Yue's observation, the temperature of the tree branch was still high even though the lava would recede.
He had to enter at his peak state. Otherwise, he might die here!
"Sapling, how confident are you in breaking the seal?"
Ning Yue asked the sapling.
The formation that sealed the tree branch was set up by the Blood Demon Supremacy years ago. Ning Yue couldn't break it.
"I need to wait and see. I'm not sure."
The sapling didn't give a definite answer. After all, the Blood Demon Supremacy was extremely powerful at his peak.
The fact that the formation he set up could even seal the Stone Beast was enough to show how powerful it was.
"I can't believe it!"
If it wasn't for the Stone Beast, Ning Yue would have cursed out loud.
The sapling was the main force in breaking the formation. If he wasn't confident, he was doomed to die here.
"Don't worry." The sapling knew what Ning Yue was thinking. "I was confident in breaking the formation, but the formation has changed after being eroded by the lava for years. I need to wait and see."
"Alright."
Ning Yue was helpless.
Now that things had come to this, he had no choice but to believe in the sapling.
Whoosh!
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Just as the King of Stones said, the lava would recede every hour.
The lava around the sealing formation began to recede in an orderly manner.
"Hurry up, you only have three minutes!"
The King of the Stone Nation kicked Ning Yue's butt and said in a low voice, "You must figure out the structure of the array this time, and try your best to break it next time!"
"Damn it!"
Ning Yue almost vomited blood after being kicked by the King of the Stone Nation.
The Corpse King's body was so huge, his kick was full of strength.
Although the King of the Stone Nation didn't use his full strength, he still managed to kick Ning Yue far away, almost causing him to fall into the lava.
"Stop!"
At the critical moment, Ning Yue hurriedly drew out the Red Demon Sword and slashed out a beam of sword radiance. He borrowed the force of the sword to forcefully stop himself in mid-air.
Ning Yue's expression was ugly as he looked at the retreating lava in front of him.
Ning Yue really wanted to turn around and ask the King of the Stone Kingdom, "Didn't you say three minutes?" Why hasn't the lava completely receded after 30 seconds?
Now that the lava had not completely receded, Ning Yue didn't dare to take the risk.
If he was contaminated by the lava, he would be done for.
"It will take a minute for the lava to completely recede, and it will take another minute for it to surge up."
Ning Yue calculated in his mind.
He didn't know it before, but now that he did, he was shocked.
At the very most, he only had one minute left!
Even a master of array formations would have a hard time understanding the sealing array in one minute and trying to break it.
"Now's the time!"
Ning Yue's eyes were fixed on the lava. When the lava receded, his figure flashed and he quickly flew to the front of the Sealing Array.
"Tree sapling, familiarize yourself with the array!"
Ning Yue pretended to observe the array, but in his mind, he sent a voice transmission to the tree sapling.
The tree sapling was the main force in breaking the array, and Ning Yue was just a distraction to distract the King of the Stone Nation.
Whoosh!
To make it look real, Ning Yue split a few strands of soul power to probe around the sealing array.
Ning Yue's brows relaxed and furrowed as if he had encountered a difficult problem.
"Time's up!"
While Ning Yue was busy probing the sealing array, the King of the Stone Kingdom yelled, "Come out now, or the lava will cook you!"
Whoosh!
Hearing the King of the Stone Kingdom's call, Ning Yue flew back without hesitation.
"How is it?"
The King of the Stone Kingdom came to Ning Yue and asked as soon as he landed.
"It's not looking good. The sealing array has changed. I need more time." Shaking his head, Ning Yue said, "After a minute of exploration, I've learned a little bit. I believe I can find a way to break the seal if I go in a few more times."
"We have plenty of time."
The King of the Stone Kingdom said.
In fact, the King of the Stone Kingdom knew something about the sealing array.
The King of the Stone Kingdom knew that something had changed in the sealing array.
If Ning Yue tried to hide it or couldn't tell that something had changed, the King of the Stone Kingdom would kill him without hesitation.
Since Ning Yue saw something and didn't hide it, it meant that Ning Yue had some tricks up his sleeve.
The King of the Stone Kingdom didn't dare to break the sealing array himself, so Ning Yue was the best choice.
"Phew."
Ning Yue wiped the sweat off his forehead and let out a long breath.
The King of the Stone Kingdom gave him so much pressure that he wanted to kneel down.
If it weren't for his willpower, Ning Yue would have knelt down on the spot and become the King of the Stone Kingdom's prisoner.
"Sapling, what did you find?"
After calming down, Ning Yue began to communicate with the sapling carefully.
The King of the Stone Kingdom was powerful. If he wasn't careful, he could expose the sapling.
Once the sapling was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable!
That was why Ning Yue was very careful.
"I can break the sealing array, but I need someone to help me block the lava for a few minutes."
The sapling did not answer Ning Yue's question right away. Instead, it pondered for a moment and said, "Although the seal formation has mutated, I'm connected to the World Tree branch inside. I can work with it from the inside and the outside to force an opening in the formation."
"What's the success rate?" Ning Yue didn't want to take the risk. He needed a hundred percent chance.
"I'll do it next time. I have a fifty percent chance." The sapling said, "If I communicate with the branch of the world inside the sealing array, I'll have a sixty percent chance, or even a hundred percent chance!"
"Okay, wait for a few more hours. You can do it when you're 100 percent sure," Ning Yue said.
"No problem."
After that, the sapling fell silent, as if it was thinking about what to do next.
Whoosh!
Another hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Whoosh!
This time, Ning Yue was smarter. Before the King of the Stone Kingdom kicked him, he flew toward the sealing array.
"That's a fast runner."
Seeing Ning Yue's movement, the King of the Stone Kingdom rolled his eyes and murmured, "As long as you help me break the sealing array, I'll get the branch of the world as soon as possible."
The King of the Stone Kingdom was very confident.
In order to get the branch of the world inside the sealing array, he had put in a lot of effort and consumed a lot of energy.
For the King of the Stone Kingdom, he could only succeed!
Because he had succeeded. He had refined the branch of the world, turned into a human, and improved his cultivation.
He had failed.
