Hu Guang had been under a lot of pressure lately. He realized that ever since the banquet, he hadn't had a single day of peace.
Putting aside the loss of Yue Yao and the many cultivators from the constellations, there was actually a problem on the island as well. For some reason, the energy seeping out from the sea had suddenly increased greatly, causing him to have no choice but to adjust the power of the protective grand formation several times. At this point, the grand formation that had protected Zi Xuan for tens of thousands of years was practically in a state of overload.
Even so, it still couldn't consume more energy.
He had no choice but to try the method Lionheart had suggested. He took the initiative to open up a gap in the great formation, allowing the island's energy to escape and reduce the pressure on the great formation.
The results were obvious. After the gap was opened, the great formation finally stabilized.
However, this wasn't a long-term solution. The great formation was a whole, and a gap meant a flaw, even if the gap was only about ten feet wide.
Normally, this flaw wouldn't be a problem, but now that Lu Ye of the Three World Island was eyeing it covetously, Hu Guang had to be on guard.
Just as he was thinking about how to solve the island's problem, he suddenly sensed an unusual change. He sensed it carefully, and his expression changed. "Oh no!"
The energy on the island was increasing rapidly for some reason. He even saw a thin layer of energy fog forming. This undoubtedly meant that the energy on the island had reached an unimaginable level.
This kind of cultivation environment was every cultivator's dream. If one could cultivate in such an environment, their efficiency would definitely increase by several times or even tens of times. If such a good thing happened on the Zixuan demon planet, Hu Guang would probably laugh his head off. However, this was only a spiritual island on the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea. The great formation was the foundation of a force that occupied a spiritual island.
Therefore, the first thing he had to consider was the pressure this sudden increase in energy was putting on the great formation.
He hurriedly flew in a certain direction and quickly arrived at his destination.
This was a node of the great formation, and several Yao cultivators were guarding it. When Hu Guang arrived, these Yao cultivators were in a state of panic.
This was because the gap in the great formation, which was originally only ten feet wide, had now been torn to ten feet wide by the sudden increase in energy. Moreover, the gap was still increasing in length.
The gap in the great array couldn't be opened casually. It required the monster cultivator to take the initiative to do so. Originally, with their joint efforts, they could maintain the stability of the ten feet gap, but the changes on the island were obviously beyond their ability to deal with.
Seeing Hu Guang arrive, one of the Yao cultivators hastily shouted, "Second Island Master!"
Hu Guang did not speak. His body flashed forward, and he took out a large array jade pendant. He waved it in front of him, and a mysterious light shot out from the jade pendant, landing near the gap. Immediately, the energy around his body surged, and the jade pendant in his hand flickered.
It was visible to the naked eye that the gap that was constantly tearing apart was slowly stabilizing. The pressure on the few constellation demon cultivators was also greatly reduced. They all let out a long breath and looked at Hu Guang, their faces full of admiration.
However, Hu Guang did not relax at all. Instead, his expression was solemn.
After taking over the nodes of the formation, he could feel the pressure of the formation more clearly than before. It was a pressure that he could not imagine at all.
Logically speaking, with such a gap, the energy on the island, no matter how rich it was, should be able to leak out. However, in fact, the energy that leaked out from the gap could not match the increase in energy.
Even with Hu Guang's experience, he did not know what had happened under the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea that caused such a terrifying energy to leak out. Moreover, the location was on Purple Jade Island.
Lionheart and Bao Youyou noticed the situation here and hurried over to investigate. After communicating with Hu Guang, they both realized the seriousness of the problem.
Even so, they had no way to solve it. It had to be said that this was simply the biggest joke in the world.
As time passed, the energy fog on the island became more and more obvious. Originally, it was only a thin layer that could not be seen if one did not look carefully, but now, the energy fog had even spread to the ankles and was still increasing.
In such an environment, even if they did not actively cultivate, the monster cultivators could feel the pure energy pouring into their bodies, helping to improve their strength.
Hu Guang was fully focused. He carefully controlled the formation, expanding the gap little by little.
The gap of thirty feet gradually became forty feet, fifty feet … until it reached eighty feet, and then a hundred feet.
At this point, Hu Guang no longer dared to expand the gap.
Usually, with the formation jade ring in his hand, he could open the gap however he wanted and make it as big as he wanted. However, the situation was different now. The entire Purple Jade Island was filled with terrifying energy that was so dense that it was almost tangible. The power of the protective formation was also pushed to the limit. In such a state, any change to the formation could cause unpredictable consequences.
A hundred feet was the limit. It could not be expanded any further. Otherwise, even with the formation jade ring in his hand, it would be difficult to control.
What alarmed Hu Guang the most was that he could clearly feel that the protective formation was showing signs of instability.
Therefore, not only did he not dare to expand the gap, but he also had to suppress the expansion of the gap. This was undoubtedly a great test for him.
Fortunately, after his efforts, the situation on the island finally reached a kind of balance, but the pressure was still great.
He could only hope that this sudden change would not last too long. Otherwise, he would be frozen and unable to move.
Lionheart and Bao Youyou stood to the side. Although they were anxious, there was nothing they could do to help.
Two hundred and fifty miles away, the Talent Tree clone used its full strength to quietly observe the situation on Purple Jade Island. Seeing that the gap of about ten feet was no longer expanding, it immediately understood that its plan was about to succeed.
However, looking at the current situation, if it really wanted to succeed, it would have to add fuel to the fire on Zi Xuan's side.
He took out a sound talisman and sent a message. Immediately after, the Talent Tree clone turned into a stream of light and pounced towards Zi Xuan.
His actions attracted the attention of countless cultivators. They could not help but widen their eyes, waiting for the show to begin.
Inside Purple Jade Island, at the gap in the formation, Hu Guang also saw Lu Ye's actions. At this time, the other party was pouncing towards them, obviously harboring evil intentions. It could even be said that he saw Zi Xuan's predicament and wanted to add insult to injury. He could not help but shout, "Senior Brother!"
Lionheart was furious. "Despicable thief, I'll fight him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and sturdy figure had already rushed out of the gap, heading straight for Lu Ye.
Lionheart's eyes were filled with cold killing intent. Demonic Qi surged around his body. Before he even reached Lu Ye, he had already launched a punch from afar.
The violent demonic essence shattered the void, and this punch turned into a huge fist shadow, pushing towards Lu Ye.
The clone dodged nimbly. Although it avoided a direct hit, the aftershock of the punch still caused the clone to lose its balance.
With just this attack, Lu Ye knew that Lionheart was stronger than any of the Yue Yao he had encountered before. As expected of a powerhouse who was only one step away from becoming a Rizhao. If not for this accident, this guy would probably have become a Rizhao long ago.
Lionheart's angry roar resounded throughout the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. "Lu Ye, today is the day you die!"
The clone dodged a few attacks, but as the distance between them continued to shrink, it could no longer dodge. The main reason was that the opponent's attacks covered too wide a range, making it difficult to dodge.
Suddenly, blood-red light blossomed, and a sea of blood spread out. The Talent Tree clone had already disappeared. Lionheart's ferocious fist slammed into the sea of blood, causing it to churn.
Lionheart could not help but be taken aback by this sudden turn of events. According to the information he had gathered, Lu Ye of the Three World Island was a weapon cultivator, so it was rather unexpected for him to suddenly display such a profound Blood Dao secret technique.
The vast sea of blood concealed Lu Ye's figure. For a moment, Lionheart couldn't detect Lu Ye's exact location. He frowned, then dove into the sea of blood.
It had to be said that Lionheart was indeed a daring person. If it were any other cultivator facing this sea of blood, they wouldn't recklessly take the risk. Even more so, they wouldn't take the initiative to throw themselves into it, because doing so would mean surrendering the initiative of the battle.
However, Lionheart didn't hesitate in the slightest. The fact that he could make such a choice undoubtedly showed his great confidence in his own strength.
Lionheart was indeed strong. As he threw himself into the sea of blood, the vast sea of blood suddenly became restless and distorted.
The cultivators watching from afar gasped in amazement. Although they couldn't see the specific battle scene because of the sea of blood's concealment, they could infer from the changes in the sea that Lionheart had the upper hand!
Purple Jade Island's Great Island Lord was indeed extraordinary.
After less than ten breaths of time, the vast sea of blood suddenly collapsed, revealing two figures within.
Lionheart's aura was deranged, his fluffy hair exploding. He wasn't angry, but he was imposing. On the other hand, Lu Ye's figure staggered, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Even his chest had caved in, revealing a fist print.
Victory and defeat had been decided!
The surrounding cultivators couldn't help but reveal looks of disappointment … The powerhouse known as the number one under the sun had recently risen to fame, and this was it?
This was undoubtedly not in line with everyone's expectations of Lu Ye. They had thought that this would be a fierce battle, but they hadn't expected it to be a one-sided battle.
They were shocked. Just how strong was Lionheart? Yuan Che had been killed by Lu Ye with a single slash, but now he only needed ten breaths of time to break through Lu Ye's sea of blood and seriously injure him. In comparison, Lionheart's strength was simply unimaginable.
"Die!" After breaking free from the sea of blood, Lionheart stretched out his hand and directly grabbed at Lu Ye's head. Although his figure seemed to be motionless, his huge and burly figure strangely appeared not far from Lu Ye.
Lu Ye hurriedly retreated, raising his hand and sending countless streams of light towards Lionheart. Lionheart dodged and blocked, unharmed. When he looked up, he saw that Lu Ye had already turned around and fled, seemingly in a sorry state.
"A clown dares to act wildly in my Purple Jade Island!" Lionheart coldly snorted and chased after him without hesitation, not caring that several streams of light had broken through his blockade and rushed towards Purple Jade Island.
