Gu Zheng woke up. He was still in the Scarred Canyon, but the scene in front of him was no longer the same as before.
One side of the canyon was full of formation patterns, and the other side was a transparent barrier. As far as the eye could see, there was a faint light flickering.
Gu Zheng was shocked. After waking up, he regained his sense of time, so he knew that he had been in the Illusory Formation for four months.
In his inner vision, whether it was the Artifact Spirit or Meow Meow and the others, they were all quiet. This made Gu Zheng understand that the reason they didn't warn him about the illusion was because they couldn't even protect themselves.
"Amazing!"
Gu Zheng exclaimed at the domineering power of the Fantasy Cloud Formation. He used his mind to call the Device Spirit and the others. Their bodies shook and they all woke up.
"So amazing!"
The Device Spirit and the others were full of emotion and fear. Fortunately, Gu Zheng had woken up. Otherwise, they did not know how long they would have been trapped in the Illusory Formation.
"So amazing. The formation patterns of an immortal formation can be drawn on the barrier of another immortal formation. This is the first time I have seen a formation like this!" The Device Spirit could not help praising as he examined the formation patterns on the barrier of the canyon.
"What is that thing flashing in front of us?" Gu Zheng asked the Device Spirit.
"That should be the center of the Mother Formation," the Device Spirit said.
"Finally, we are here. It was not easy!"
Gu Zheng sneered and let Meow Meow and the others out.
"My fellow cultivator, this is great!"
When Meow Meow and the others were sighing, Qixuan Fairy kept her eyes closed and did not speak. She seemed to be in a state of enlightenment. Therefore, Gu Zheng did not disturb Qixuan Fairy. Now that she had opened her eyes, Gu Zheng released her from the Primal Chaos Pagoda. She appeared very excited the moment she appeared.
"What's wrong? Did you gain enlightenment in the Illusory Formation? "Gu Zheng asked with a smile.
"No, it's just that what I experienced in the Dreamland has made my state of mind much more stable. I believe that after this trip, I will definitely be able to enter the Sage-to-be Realm!" Qixuan Fairy changed her previous uncertainty and became full of confidence.
"Congratulations, Fairy!"
Gu Zheng thanked Qixuan Fairy and said, "If you are ready, we will go to the center of the Mother Formation now."
"My fellow cultivator, where are they?"
Qixuan Fairy looked to the other side.
The canyon was very wide, but they could see the other side.......... There was a transparent barrier that divided the canyon.
Previously, Gu Zheng had communicated with the artifact spirit. The artifact spirit had told Gu Zheng that on the other side of the barrier, there should be another Fantasy Cloud Star Array.
Fairy Qixuan was referring to Xiao Qi, the Ice Fairy, and the Dawn Fairy. They were on the other side of the Fantasy Cloud Star Formation. Seeing how quiet they were, it seemed like they were fine. They had just been tricked by the illusion.
... Let them stay there! "Die Spirit sneered.
She had not forgotten what had happened in the depths of the Poison Swamp. Xiao Qi and the others had taken advantage of the time when they were fighting with the demons to sneak into the Jiao King Palace to take advantage of them. However, they had not succeeded.
Qixuan Fairy smiled apologetically at Die Spirit. She had heard about what had happened.
"My fellow cultivator, can you let them out? It is good to have a few more people to fight Di You, "Qixuan Fairy said.
"Let them out. Although they will be of more help, they will also want a share of the loot after killing Di You," Gu Zheng said.
Qixuan Fairy bit her lips and did not speak. Gu Zheng asked again, "Fairy, do you have a good relationship with them?"
"I guess so!" Qixuan Fairy said.
"If that's the case, we will let them out after killing Di You! Let's not talk about the dispute between me and Xiao Qi. You know what happened in the depths of the Poison Swamp. They are not honest. I've decided to release them after I've dealt with Di You. This is already giving face to Fairy! "
Gu Zheng's voice paused for a moment, and then he said, "Even though Fairy obtained gains in terms of mental state from the illusory realm, I feel that Fairy's character is still rather pure. As a disciple of a Saint Immortal, one must always be vigilant against others!"
"Thank you for your reminder. I have learned my lesson!" Qixuan Fairy nodded.
Without saying anything else, Gu Zheng led the group to the core of the Star Destruction Child Formation.
Di You and the others were in a bad mood. They did not feel good having their hopes dashed at such a close moment.
When Gu Zheng had escaped from the Fantasy Cloud Star Formation, Di You had already known. They had also given up on maintaining the Star Destruction Child Formation at that time.
They had been maintaining the Star Destruction Child Formation for many years. If they really wanted to fight a strong enemy like Gu Zheng, Di You and the others would need to rest for a while. Therefore, they were filled with anger and did not rush over to fight Gu Zheng as soon as he had broken the formation.
Now that they had finished resting, Di You stood up first. Then, his three clones stood up one after another.
"There is no need for this place to exist anymore."
Di You muttered and then destroyed the Immortal Formation that maintained the cracked canyon.
"Quickly leave this place. The Immortal Formation has lost its function. The energy that maintained it is disappearing!"
Di You had just destroyed the Immortal Formation when the Weapon Spirit immediately sensed a special wave.
"Let's go!"
Gu Zheng called out to the group. They immediately rushed up the canyon as fast as they could.
As soon as everyone rushed out of the canyon, they saw that the energy that had been maintaining the barrier had disappeared like a domino that had been pushed. Without the barrier's isolation, the mud-like mud immediately rushed toward the original canyon, filling it up in an instant.
Fairy Qixuan turned back and muttered, "I wonder how Empress Wa's disciples are doing."
"Now that the immortal formation supporting the canyon has been completely destroyed, the formation runes on the immortal formation's barrier are gone as well. The 'Fantasy Cloud Star Formation' created by the formation runes will naturally disappear as well. Xiao Qi and the others will definitely be fine, so you don't have to worry too much. As for yourself …"
Fairy Qixuan looked at Gu Zheng's hesitant expression and said, "What is it, Fellow Daoist?"
"Fairy, I have a feeling that something will happen to you. You have to be careful later," Gu Zheng said.
Fairy Qixuan's eyes widened. "Fellow Daoist, you actually had a premonition about me?"
"Yes!" Gu Zheng said solemnly.
"I will be careful later. Thank you, Fellow Daoist!"
"Hahahaha …"
Almost as soon as Fairy Qixuan's voice was heard, loud laughter could be heard from afar. It sounded like a madman laughing.
Gu Zheng's eyes narrowed. The person who had laughed was naturally Di You.
Gu Zheng naturally knew what Di You looked like after searching Ni Ling's soul. He also knew that Di You had three doppelgangers.
Gu Zheng understood that Di You was a demon outside the circle. From the trivial details in Ni Ling's memory, he deduced that Di You's strength should be stronger than most of the cultivators in the late stage of the Sage-to-be. As for his three doppelgangers, their true strength should also be stronger than the average cultivators in the middle stage of the Sage-to-be.
Di You brought his avatar and flew over. They stopped at a place very far away.
"I want you to disappear!"
Di You roared. He was so angry that he did not need to talk before the battle. All he wanted was to kill Gu Zheng and the others.
"Whoosh …"
A loud whistling sound came from his mouth. This was the meeting gift that Di You gave to Gu Zheng and the others. His doppelgangers had previously said, "How dare they snatch the Sky Traversing Ship. They must pay the price!"
"Ah!"
Fairy Qixuan screamed. Following Di You's whistling sound, she suddenly felt a terrifying aura brewing in the armor that the Sky Traversing Ship had turned into. What was even more terrifying was that, as the owner of the Sky Traversing Ship, not only was she unable to stop that terrifying aura, she couldn't even take off her armor. She was in a state of complete loss of control over her armor.
"Bang!"
A loud sound came from Fairy Qixuan's body. The Sky Traversing Ship that had turned into a golden armor exploded. The power it produced was quite terrifying. Moreover, since they were now in the real Rotten Poison Swamp, space had returned to its fragile state. The explosion of the Heaven Traversing Ship had directly created a black hole. The size of the black hole was extremely shocking. Compared to the size of the black hole, Gu Zheng and the others were like ants in comparison to a round table!
The appearance of the black hole produced a huge suction force. However, it was not able to suck Gu Zheng and the others in. This was not because Gu Zheng and the others were so strong that they could ignore the black hole. It was because Fairy Qixuan had immediately flown away when she realized that something was wrong. Gu Zheng and the others had also felt the terrifying aura that the golden armor was emitting. Naturally, they had also fled far away. Therefore, they were able to escape the black hole when the golden armor exploded!
The Sky Traversing Ship did not belong to the Untainted Land. There were many things that Gu Zheng and the others did not understand. Even if Fairy Qixuan had recognized it as its owner, Di You could still destroy it with a secret technique.
Gu Zheng became serious. Thinking back to what had happened after he had obtained the Sky Traversing Ship, he did not rejoice much. Instead, he was filled with anger. Although Miaomiao and the others did not like Fairy Qixuan, Gu Zheng still had a good impression of her because of her innocence. Moreover, Fairy Qixuan was now Gu Zheng's ally. How could he not be angry that his ally had been blown up just like that?
"Death of the Stars!"
Gu Zheng roared. In the sky where the poisonous fog was surging, a huge light ball the size of a small lake was smashed towards Di You and his doppelganger.
The Death of the Stars was a very powerful Divine Sense Super Power. It used the Divine Sense to activate the energy of the outer realm to attack. Since ancient times, less than ten people had comprehended this Super Power. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the Divine Sense, and the more powerful the Death of the Stars would be. It could appear in the form of small light balls as dense as a meteor shower, or it could also appear in the form of a huge light ball like the one now.
The 'Stellar Annihilation' was very powerful, but it had its drawbacks as well. The drawback was that it took a long time for one's divine will to communicate with the energy of the outer realms. Thus, it had rarely appeared in Gu Zheng's previous battles. However, Gu Zheng was constantly growing. His Divine Sense had already lost its tail. Therefore, he did not need to stay still to communicate with the energy of the outer realm. Moreover, his cultivation was now at the middle stage of the Sage-to-be. His Divine Sense was far more powerful than that of ordinary people. The Death of the Stars was even more destructive.
After Di You destroyed the immortal formation of the Scarred Canyon and turned the battlefield into a poisonous swamp with a fragile space, Gu Zheng began to prepare the Death of the Stars. Even if Di You did not detonate the Ying Tianzhou from afar to give Gu Zheng and the others a show of strength, Gu Zheng would have used the Stellar Ultimate Strike to kill him.
Due to the fragile space, the Death of the Stars dragged the black hole as its tail as it descended. When it was a certain distance away from Di You and the others, it bloomed brightly like fireworks. For a moment, the scene in the sky was extremely shocking. The light was so bright that it was hard to open one's eyes, and the darkness that could swallow one's gaze existed together. The black hole created by this attack had reached an astonishing level. At the very least, it was something that Gu Zheng had never seen before. Under such a powerful black hole, Di You and his doppelganger could not escape the suction of the black hole!
Although the Death of the Stars was powerful, Gu Zheng knew that it was not possible to use the Death of the Stars to severely injure Di You and his doppelganger. After all, Di You and his doppelganger were not weak. Moreover, the Death of the Stars had descended from the sky. Even if it was fast, it would not be easy to hit Di You and his doppelganger. If it could not hit them directly and only spread the shockwave, its power would naturally be reduced.
However, even though he knew that the Death of the Stars would not be able to severely injure Di You and his doppelganger, Gu Zheng still chose to use the Death of the Stars. More importantly, he wanted to see if Di You and his doppelganger would act strangely when facing the black hole. After all, he had destroyed the immortal formation and turned the battlefield into a poisonous swamp. That was suspicious! If it was really suspicious, it would be very important in the battle later. The earlier he knew, the earlier he could come up with a countermeasure.
Indeed, in the face of the huge black hole, Di You and his doppelganger did not move at all. They even laughed sadly.
As a prisoner who had failed the first Chaos Tribulation, Di You could not leave the poisonous swamp unless he could win the Heavenly Dao game. If the black hole could work on him, he would be able to leave the poisonous swamp. As for the demons that had been swallowed by the black hole in the periphery and depths of the poisonous swamp, under the rules of the Heavenly Dao, even if they entered the black hole, they would only be in a more dangerous and inescapable cage.
There was no need for Gu Zheng to say anything. Seeing that the black hole was ineffective against Di You and his doppelganger, Meow Meow and the others looked even more serious. In such a strange environment, the characteristics of Di You and his doppelganger would be very disadvantageous to them.
The distance between the two parties was still very far. At this distance, most immortal techniques would not be effective. Gu Zheng and the others had to get closer to Di You.
As lifeforms outside the circle, Di You and his doppelganger could not be dealt with using conventional logic. They did not need to get closer to Gu Zheng and the others to attack.
Di You and his doppelganger frowned. The eight arms behind their backs twisted into the shape of a flower. At the same time, a huge flower-shaped shadow flew toward Gu Zheng and the others.
The huge flower-shaped shadow could not be destroyed by ordinary immortal techniques. It suddenly disappeared when Meow Meow and the others counterattacked. When it reappeared, it was wrapped around Meow Meow and the others. It desperately released a contracting force in an attempt to strangle Meow Meow and the others to death.
Meow Meow and the others each had their own magical powers. Although they were bound by the flower-shaped shadow, it was not impossible for them to escape.
Meow Meow instantly transformed into its original form and the flower-shaped shadow exploded.
The angry man instantly turned into mist. After escaping the flower-shaped shadow, he opened his mouth and spat out a green inner core that hit the flower-shaped shadow. The shadow immediately disappeared like mist.
Die Ling did not move at all. Her Darkmoon Dagger flew up and slashed twice at the flower-shaped shadow that was binding her. The entire shadow fell off like a flower vine that had been cut off.
Meow Meow and the other two could easily escape from the binding. As for Gu Zheng, it was even easier. The flower-shaped shadow had just wrapped around his body when it was absorbed by his Five Elements Immortal Ball.
Seeing Gu Zheng and the others escape from the binding so easily, Di You and his doppelganger frowned. The tentacles behind their backs instantly took on different forms. Some of these forms were like demons and some were like ordinary objects. However, without exception, after the light flashed, they all turned into shadows and flew toward Gu Zheng and the others.
Hills, seahorses, ferocious birds, beasts, all these illusions that Di You and his doppelgänger had released had extraordinary destructive power. They could easily create black holes in space, but strangely, they were not absorbed by the black holes.
Although the destructive power of the shadows released by Di You was extraordinary, it was not easy to hurt Gu Zheng and the others. However, the fact that they could create black holes repeatedly was very annoying. As a result, Gu Zheng and the others had no choice but to dodge appropriately. What made Gu Zheng and the others even more speechless was that the shadows released by Di You were continuous. In an extremely short period of time, there were already more than 30 of them!
Gu Zheng and the others seemed to be in a passive position but in fact, this was just a show. They had a way to deal with these things. If it was not for the fact that they wanted to get rid of these things in one wave, they would have been closer to Di You and his doppelganger.
"Have they finally stopped? There are more than 50 of them. This is enough to kill once! "
Gu Zheng laughed coldly. Tang Mo immediately flew out from his hand and stabbed at the illusory figures. Any illusory figure that was stabbed by Tang Mo was immediately swallowed by Tang Mo in the blink of an eye as if they had encountered a powerful whirlpool.
Although they were all attacks from the tentacles of the Emperor Spectres, these phantoms that could fight were completely different from the flower-shaped phantoms from before.
The flower-shaped shadows from before belonged to the earth element of the five elements. They could be absorbed by Gu Zheng's Five Elements Divine Ball. As for these shadows that could fight, they were completely made up of evil energy. They were simply food for Tang Mo.
Tang Mo was swallowing the shadows crazily. Di You and his doppelganger actually connected their tentacles and formed a circle in the air. Their bodies shook at the same time and light was produced.
This time, the attack that Di You had launched took the form of a physical mirror.
The tentacles intertwined to form a round mirror frame. Di You and his doppelganger looked like sculptures on the mirror frame.
