Ever since Shangchen and Tianxia separated, Xuanting knew that there would be a battle between the two. Since then, Tianxia had begun preparing to attack Shangchen.
This matter was originally handed over to Chen Tingzhi, who was the most proficient in formations. However, after Shangchen City separated, the Turbid Tide surged, Shangchen invaded, and the Gods and Monsters wreaked havoc in the inner layer, causing this matter to be carried out intermittently.
In addition, Tianxia was growing stronger day by day, so there was no need for him to take the initiative to attack Shangchen. As long as he delayed, he could sit and watch the defeat, so this matter had been delayed.
However, Chen Tingzhi had prepared a set of methods to break the formation in the end, as well as many artifacts to break the formation.
After Daoist You took over the main formation, he didn't completely overturn the previous method, but instead prepared to use the artifacts that were left behind.
However, because the two's methods were different, their thoughts on breaking the formation were also different. If they didn't grasp it well, these artifacts would be used directly. In fact, it wouldn't be beneficial for breaking the formation, so he also put some thought into it.
The crystalline light that fell in front of them was the "Sky Punishing Fire Thunder" that Chen Tingzhi had personally presided over.
Once this thing came into contact with any foreign object other than itself, it would automatically assimilate into the object, and at an extremely fast speed, infect the object and make it the same as itself.
When the master needed it, he only needed to activate the incantation, and it would suddenly erupt, shaking the foundation of the formation from the inside.
It had to be known that even in Shangchen's formation, it was impossible for there to be nothing other than the Green Spirit Life Force in the formation. There were also many artifacts and altars, as well as the guardian Xuan Zun and his disciples. If this thing were to sneak in, there would be no peace.
Thus, the Green Spirit Life Force had to be used to expel it at the first moment. Only by washing everyone and everything could it ensure that this thing was washed out.
However, in this way, a portion of Cymbidium Lucidum's strength would be restrained. Even if the Dao Guarding Treasure was controlled by Gu Yangzi and the others, the power it could display was always limited. If too much was used here, the other places would naturally be weakened, creating an opportunity to break the formation.
As soon as Ying Chong saw this thing, his expression turned cold.
He and Chen Tingzhi were good friends in the past and were familiar with each other. With one look, he knew the mystery of this thing and understood that it was very difficult to deal with.
He didn't dare to let the Fire Lightning truly merge into the formation. He immediately set up the formation mechanism and released the power of the formation to stop the Fire Lightning. At the same time, he gave the order for everyone to push the formation mechanism together with him. Wherever the Fire Lightning of Sky Execution landed, it would be turned from solid to illusory.
Illusory and real were incompatible. Once they turned from real to real and separated from each other, they could be successfully expelled. Although this was just a simple change, it was extremely useful.
This was a method of stripping, and it was also the basic idea of Shangchen's Mountain Gate Array.
I won't fight against your changes and arrangements. I'll just constantly remove the external impurities and use my life force to replenish my losses. This way, you'll never be able to destroy me.
However, Ying Chong's expression didn't relax as he watched the Fire Lightning of Sky Execution being continuously dissolved.
Tianxia couldn't possibly have only this trick up his sleeve. Just by looking at the Sky-Striking Shuttle, which he had relied on as the main force just now, and now it was only used as a pathfinder, he knew that there must be a powerful backup plan behind it. However, although he understood formations, he wasn't a person who specialized in this field, so he couldn't guess what it was.
In fact, there were people in Shangchen who were better at formations than him, but these people's status and cultivation weren't high enough. In the past, they couldn't come into contact with this Mountain Gate Array, and they didn't have the authority to control the Green Spirit's life force. If they came up in a hurry, they wouldn't necessarily do as well as he did. Therefore, it was best to rely on him.
What he could do now was to fill in the gaps that might exist everywhere.
After he thought about it, he reminded the Xuan Zun who were guarding the Lantern Festival, "Now that the formation's power is weakened, Chen Yu, Zhengqing, and the others might take advantage of the situation to attack me. Everyone, be careful. Don't guard the front."
Due to the loss of a portion of the Green Spirit's life force, the Qi of the Clear Sky of Sky Execution pressed inward a little, giving the cultivators of Shangchen a great sense of oppression. They also felt the impending crisis, so as soon as they received his order, they immediately raised their spirits and prepared to deal with the other side's possible attack.
After Daoist You sent out the command talisman, he narrowed his eyes and observed the other side. Not only was he observing the formation, but he was also observing the other side's response.
Breaking and subduing a formation wasn't something that could be done just by figuring out the formation's mechanism. One also needed to figure out the temperament and methods of the person in charge of the formation. Only then could one find an opening and seize the opportunity to attack.
The person in charge of the other side's formation was most likely Ying Chong. He had heard of this person's reputation before, but at this moment, in his opinion, the other side's response could only be considered average. There was nothing out of the ordinary.
He also noticed that the formation's power was gathering in front of them, which could be considered as preparation for a rainy day. However, in his opinion, it would be better if this move was not made. It could still leave some leeway and make the other side wary. However, this move would expose the other side. This was due to the lack of experience of the person in charge of the formation.
This was undoubtedly a piece of good news for him.
He didn't have the idea that the stronger the opponent, the better. On the contrary, he felt that the weaker the opponent, the more fun it would be to bully them.
He reached out and picked up another command talisman. With a wave of his sleeve, he threw it down and muttered to himself, "Since you're guarding the front, then I'll fulfill your wish."
Chen Tingzhi, Zhengqing, and Wu Qingxu had been waiting in front of the formation. At this moment, when they saw the command talisman fall, the three of them released their Primordial Spirits without hesitation and charged into the formation with their mana. The thirty Xuan Zun behind them also released their Primordial Spirits and acted as if they were going to attack with all their might.
In fact, this was not the best time to attack the formation. However, Shangchen couldn't ignore this posture. In addition, Ying Chong had given the order, which seemed to confirm his judgment. Therefore, almost all of the Xuan Zun were sending the formation's power that they controlled to the front of the formation.
This also caused them to use more power than they originally needed. With more power in one place, there would be less in other places. Therefore, it immediately caused the defense of some places to become weaker.
Ying Chong immediately realized that something was wrong. Although he had predicted the other side's movements correctly, the other side's movement caused the formation's power to be much more than it originally needed. This caused some places to become unnecessarily empty. Tianxia would definitely not let go of these weak spots.
Sure enough, when he had such thoughts earlier, he saw numerous Profound Weapons smashing down from the opposite side. Logically speaking, the might of these Profound Weapons shouldn't be able to cause too much of an effect on the grand formation, and they only needed to obstruct it slightly.
However, he could feel that there was a pair of eyes staring at him from the opposite side. If he didn't gather more power there, perhaps an even stronger attack would come.
Therefore, he had no choice but to transfer some of the formation's power forward to block it. At the same time, he reluctantly transferred more formation's power to hide behind. If there wasn't enough time, he could go forward to provide support.
Daoist You nodded and said, "You've improved."
The other side was obviously being forced to improve themselves during the confrontation. If they went through this training, they would definitely not be like this next time. However, he wouldn't give the other side the chance to do so.
He took out another command talisman and threw it down. This time, he chose another gap and threw in an offensive formation's magic weapon.
For the next half of summer, he constantly attacked these gaps. Some of these methods could be easily dealt with, while others required his full strength. However, under his control of what was real and what was false, Shangchen's side couldn't ignore any of his offensive formations.
If someone was paying attention outside, they would be able to see that up until now, his offensive could be said to be coherent. It was like he was playing a piece of music with its own rhythm and rhythm.
He believed that the method to break the formation needed to be like a continuous river, paying particular attention to the uninterrupted flow of Qi and momentum. This way, not only could the momentum be maintained, it could also better hide the rise and fall of the inheritance.
Chen Tingzhi, Zhengqing, and the others were still fine. The nearly thirty Xuan Zun attacking the formation, under his command, felt that they could always get some time to recover their Qi. It was like a person taking a deep breath. This allowed them to always be in peak condition. It was clearly an offensive formation, but it made people feel very comfortable.
On the other hand, all the Shangchen Xuan Zun guarding the Lantern Festival didn't dare to relax for even a moment. They were constantly in a state of tension.
Ying understood that he had encountered a brilliant opponent. The other party had grasped the "momentum". Even a light movement made him have no choice but to use all his strength to deal with it.
There must be a distinction between the severity of defense. If one's defense was weak, then one's defense would be weak. This depended on the judgment of the person in charge.
However, he didn't dare to relax. Every single one of them was giving his all. Because if he relaxed even a little bit, the other party might really take advantage of the situation to deal a heavy blow.
Lin Tingzhi watched carefully from above the spell altar. He couldn't help but praise in his heart. Those who were good at fighting didn't have outstanding achievements. Daoist You's moves didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. It seemed like anyone else could do it, but in reality, he had a clear understanding of the formation. Every time, he accurately cut at the joints, which was why he was able to achieve such a result.
At this moment, Daoist You observed. The other side's formation seemed to be riddled with holes, as if they could deal a heavy blow at any time. However, he still didn't move.
He muttered, "It's still not enough."
Even though he looked down on his opponent, he wouldn't really let his guard down. He still did what he had to do. He heard from Chen Tingzhi that this Ying Chong always took one step at a time. Although Su Ran looked to be in a difficult situation now, he definitely still had a backup plan. If he didn't find a way to force him to use it, he wouldn't withdraw from the real killing move.
He considered for a moment. Originally, he planned to first disrupt the formation and then let the Xuan Zun enter with the flag. That way, he would have a greater chance of success. However, he now decided to change the order before he left.
Thus, he flicked his sleeves and issued three decrees in succession.
The first decree turned into a ray of light that shot into the sky. When the various courts in the Xuantian Dao Palace saw it, they all increased the Clear Sky Qi.
When the second decree was issued, it turned into a ray of golden light that landed on a table. Daoist Zhan Kong glanced at it, then sat up straight and communicated with Yuandu Xuantu with his thoughts.
When the third decree was issued, the thirty-two Xuan Zun hiding in the formation immediately followed the previous arrangement. Riding on a ray of light, they rushed into the square formation in front of them!
At this moment, Daoist You was facing the formation without blinking. He thought to himself, "Let's see what you're going to do. If you can still endure this, then I'll make sure you don't have a chance to use it again."
