Buzz!
Wang Chong closed his eyes. At the same time, his Psychic Energy swept out and engulfed his surroundings. Everything around him quickly vanished, all the illusions dispelled. Wang Chong could only sense his master, the Evil Emperor, the Formation Elder, and a few unaffiliated martial artists.
But between Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, the Formation Elder, and those unaffiliated martial artists, fiery lava flowed. Wang Chong immediately understood that the gurgling water he had heard was actually the sound of flowing lava. True and false, false and true.
The orange-red color of the surrounding space was probably due to this lava.
Although the illusion wasn't real, it wouldn't be so simple if he fell into the magma.
"Pay attention to your feet. The temperature of this lava is extremely high. It's not normal lava!"
The Evil Emperor's voice rang out in Wang Chong's ear. He had clearly noticed the lava.
Bang!
With a thought, Wang Chong immediately punched, striking a stream of lava several dozen feet away. Thick smoke roiled and the fiery lava fiercely vibrated, splashing several dozen feet into the air.
This action was sudden and inexplicable, but a moment later, Wang Chong's actions immediately began to show their effects.
The orange-red sky around them began to twist, and at the same time, the illusions around them were torn apart like pieces of paper.
"Ah! What's going on here?! "
The other unaffiliated martial artists also came back to their senses, and as they stared at the scorching lava, they were all shocked. If not for Wang Chong's intervention, the closest unaffiliated martial artist would have already stepped into the lava.
"Senior Zhou, you calculate the changes in the Nine Palaces, and I'll calculate the changes in the formation gate!"
Wang Chong loudly said. The Gate of View was not as dangerous as the Gate of Surprise, but under the influence of the array, it could deteriorate at any time. Everyone had to think of a way to leave as soon as possible.
Wang Chong's Psychic Energy was so powerful that not even the Formation Elder could compare to him in the calculation of the formation gate, but Wang Chong was still a beginner. Although he was skilled in calculating the variations of the formation gate, his understanding of formations and the variations of the Nine Palaces was far inferior to the Formation Elder's, which was why he had been slightly off in his calculations.
"Alright! Let's work together to calculate the Origin Immortal Formation! "
The Formation Elder's long hair drifted in the wind, his mind in agitation. This formation left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord was far more complicated than any formation he knew of, with more than ten thousand variations. Not even the Formation Elder could keep up. And a single miscalculation would immediately lead to a new change. Thus, he had never been able to accurately calculate the operating rules of the formation, but Wang Chong's appearance had perfectly made up for this flaw of the Formation Elder's.
"Hu!"
The wind howled in all directions, and the screams in the formation became more and more intense. It was a ghastly sight to hear. Time was short, so Wang Chong and the Formation Elder closed their eyes and devoted themselves to their calculations. And without Wang Chong's interference, the illusions from before began to appear once more, one after another appearing in the surroundings.
Boom! A bolt of Stellar Energy struck the lava on the ground and tore apart the illusions. This time, it was Wang Chong's master, the Evil Emperor, who had intervened.
The Evil Emperor was not skilled in formations, so he was of no help in this aspect. He could only assist from the side.
"Senior Zhou, in twenty seconds, where will the Kan Palace be?"
Wang Chong suddenly asked, his eyes still closed.
"To the southeast, three palaces to the left!"
The Formation Elder quickly calculated. The positions of the Nine Palaces had originally been fixed, but the formation left behind by the Origin Immortal Lord had been so powerful that it had altered the terrain, causing the positions of the Nine Palaces to shift.
"Kid, hurry! The changes in the formation are accelerating. Have you calculated which formation gate our next chance of survival is? "
The Formation Elder opened his eyes and stared worriedly at Wang Chong.
Ordinary people might not have noticed, but through his calculations, the Formation Elder and Guo Chenzhong could clearly sense that the formation was being accelerated by some external force. This was not normal at all, and no matter what, they didn't have much time left.
He could only place his hopes on Wang Chong!
"Kan Palace, to the east, seventeen paces. Follow my orders!"
Wang Chong quickly opened his eyes and stared in the direction of the Kan Palace, his eyes bright.
"Hurry! Now! "
A few moments later, Wang Chong looked forward and bellowed.
Bang! Following Wang Chong's order, everyone began to charge in a certain direction, the formation rumbling in their ears. Behind them, a stream of lava in the View Gate seemed to be stimulated by some sort of energy, spurting out and igniting into a blazing inferno. The orange-red space quickly turned a dangerous dark red.
"Hurry!"
Wang Chong lunged forward, Stellar Energy bursting out of him as he carried those unaffiliated martial artists toward the Stop Gate.
… …
But as Wang Chong led his group toward the Stop Gate, elsewhere, several figures who had been controlling the formation turned to Wang Chong, the Formation Elder, and the Demonic Emperor.
"Milord, it's that group again. These scoundrels seem to be able to calculate how our formation operates. We can't hold them!"
One of the figures sternly said.
Wang Chong's group was simply too conspicuous. From where they were standing, everyone in the formation was screaming as they were crushed by the formation's power and turned to ash. Only Wang Chong's group seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll through their courtyard, completely unaffected by the formation's power.
"Milord, based on the direction they're moving, they're probably trying to return to the Rest Gate. Once they return, our attacks will be useless against them. If this continues, they'll find what's in the formation sooner or later. "
At this moment, another voice spoke up.
"Return to the Rest Gate? How could that be? They're just a bunch of ants! How could they possibly compare to us? A formation left behind by an Immortal Lord is not something that just anyone can break! "
The person who seemed to be the leader placed his hands behind his back and sneered. His gaze turned and quickly swept in another direction, locking onto the figure that was as majestic as a mountain in the formation.
"Didn't that person also enter the formation? Since he's too strong and our formation can't deal with him for now, let's think of a way to push him over and have them kill each other! Today, all of them will die here! "
The man who seemed to be the leader said coldly.
"Yes! Milord! "
… …
At this moment, Wang Chong had no idea that his group was being watched. Boom! The surrounding space shuddered, and a moment later, Wang Chong, the Evil Emperor, the Formation Elder, and a few unaffiliated martial artists entered the Stop Gate.
Swishswishswish!
As soon as they entered, sharp whistling sounds resounded in their ears. Countless arrows rained down from all directions. Almost at the same time, there was a flash of fire. Waves of raging flames swept towards them like a tide. The flames were wrapped in thick smoke.
"Ah!"
"What's going on here? Why is it getting more and more dangerous?! "
"Not good! Look behind us!"
The unaffiliated martial artists began to call out in alarm. They had originally believed that the next formation gate would be much safer based on Wang Chong's calculations, but they had not expected that the moment they entered, they would be met with a torrential storm of attacks.
"Hold your breaths and focus on dealing with them!"
The Formation Elder's voice rang out in everyone's ears.
"The View Gate is peaceful on the surface, but it's actually filled with hidden dangers. The Stop Gate is dangerous on the surface, but it's actually safe. Haven't any of you noticed that the attacks here are the most numerous, but they're far weaker than the Pain Gate? "
The path of formations was both real and false. Unless one completely left, there was no place that was completely safe.
Danger and safety were always relative!
The Formation Elder's warning quickly made them realize that this place was different. Although each of the arrows was as thick as a finger and seemed extremely dangerous, none of them were very powerful. As for the rocks coming from behind them, they were only at the Profound Martial realm. Just as the Formation Elder had said, this place seemed dangerous, but it wasn't actually that dangerous.
"The Stop Gate isn't that safe. Of the Five Elements, the Stop Gate is of the Wood element and is the bane of the other gates. It's a place of minor inauspiciousness, one plagued by calamities but also able to turn misfortunes into blessings. If we want to avoid being pushed into the Death Gate by the formation and dying here, we have to change the flow of energy through the Stop Gate! Kid, hurry and find the Life Gate. I'll calculate the changes of the Nine Palaces! "
Wang Chong nodded and spread his Stellar Energy around his body, shrouding the Formation Elder and the unaffiliated martial artists. At the same time, he closed his eyes and began to calculate once more.
Boomboomboom! The arrows and rocks rained down on Wang Chong's Stellar Energy, but they were all repelled by Wang Chong's Stellar Energy. Rocks were blasted into smithereens, and even sharp arrows that were as thick as fingers were broken and bent.
"Chong-er, focus on your calculations. Leave everything else to me!"
The Evil Emperor's voice resounded in his ears, and then there was a bang as a Stellar Energy even more valiant than Wang Chong's spread out, enveloping everyone like a tide and keeping all the attacks at bay.
Wang Chong said nothing, only nodded, and then he threw himself into his intense calculations.
"Senior Zhou, help me calculate the position of the Xun Gate. This time, we'll return to the Rest Gate. This is our last chance!"
