Zhang Yu's words were loud and resonated to every corner of the formation. When the Xuan Zun heard it, they calmed down and responded in unison.
They all knew that Guan Chaosheng was a core member of a sect. Not only did he pluck a top-notch merit fruit, he was also suspected to have the power of a Dao Guarding Treasure. He was not someone they could handle, so they could only leave it to Zhang Yu.
The thirty Mystique Venerables who had just arrived still had some doubts. However, the twelve Mystique Venerables who were originally in the formation were very confident in Zhang Yu. This was because they had personally witnessed the magnificent feat of him killing three cultivators who had plucked top-grade merit fruits.
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he shifted his gaze and saw the Primordial Spirit rushing towards the center of the formation with a fierce momentum. He thought for a moment and the starlight around him swayed. A bright light flew out and quickly disappeared without a trace.
After a while, ten thousand starlight flashed from the darkness behind him and fell towards the Primordial Spirit. At the same time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it, using the "Light Capture" technique.
However, there seemed to be an empty space beside Guan Chaosheng. There were tens of thousands of them. Every ray of light that could destroy the land disappeared without a trace. They did not even cause the slightest ripple. As for the Light Capturing Art, it seemed to have disappeared without a trace. There was no response at all.
Zhang Yu saw this and did not intend to stop. In the center of the formation, as long as the other party had not reached him, he could only attack others. There was no reason for others to attack him.
As he activated his thoughts, the "Illusionary Divine Slash" and "Zhu Heng Chang Yi" fell one after another.
One of these two techniques attacked the mind, while the other changed the profound principles behind it. However, this did not have any effect on the soul either. Once it landed on the soul, it disappeared as if it was not affected at all, and the momentum of its charge did not change in the slightest.
Guan Chaosheng was different from Chen Baixiao and Yu Qingrong, who practiced the other techniques of their respective sects. What he practiced was the orthodox technique of Huanyang school. Even if he did not use the help of the Dao Suppressing Treasures, he could still absorb most of the external divine abilities, Dharmic powers, and even the impact from magical items with just his own magical energy. He could even convert them into his own power.
If he cultivated it to a high level, he would be able to travel through space with a single thought, and he wouldn't have to fly through the air like he did now.
Zhang Yu saw that in this short period of time, he had advanced a lot further into the inner layer. At this moment, he was already very close to the center of the formation. He pondered for a moment, and the light around him flickered continuously. He waved his sleeve and shot 36 consecutive Worlds Into Daylight at him!
Guan Chaosheng's soul did not dodge at all in the face of such an attack. He maintained his original momentum, and the thirty-six rays of light landed on him in the blink of an eye. However, they were all swallowed by the holes around him in the blink of an eye.
Many of the Xuan Zun in the formation witnessed this scene, and they were all horrified.
They knew how powerful Zhang Yu's technique was. Just now, Dan Xiaochen was killed by such an attack. Even Chen Baixiao and Yu Qingrong were extremely afraid of it, and did not dare to face it head-on. They did not expect that a completely different outcome would happen to Guan Chaosheng this time.
At this moment, many people were also worried. How should they deal with such a strong opponent?
Zhang Yu stared at the light that was rushing towards him. Unlike the others, he was keenly aware that the moment the divine ability was swallowed, the soul's forward momentum and the circulation of Dharmic powers slowed down slightly. Although this change was very small, it did exist.
When he recalled the Void Calamity Pearl, he realized that the other party had used his own strength to resist the Void Calamity Pearl, and did not absorb its power.
This was very likely because the Void Calamity Pearl was extremely powerful, which was why it could not be absorbed in one go.
However, it was also possible that absorbing this power would become a burden for a certain period of time. The other party was in a hurry to establish a foothold before the passage between the two worlds, so that he could attract more power from behind. In order to ensure stability, he could not make any mistakes. As such, he did not absorb the power, and instead chose to block it directly.
He felt that the latter was more likely, and the other party's current performance confirmed his thoughts.
If that was the case, there was still a chance to fight. If the other party had reached a stage where he was invulnerable to all techniques, it would indeed be difficult to suppress him.
At this moment, his gaze descended once more. He saw that the soul had broken through layer after layer and was about to close in on him. However, he didn't try to stop it at this moment because he'd already obtained what he wanted to know through the series of probing spells he'd used earlier.
In reality, the Thousand Luminaries Formation was not so easy to break through. As long as he, the person in charge of the formation, could predict where the other party was going to charge and change the formation's mechanism, and with the protection of the Clear Sky Qi, it would be enough to block the other party for a while.
Hence, he intentionally let the other party in.
He did not forget that Guan Chaosheng was only here as a soul. The other party was still at the passage between the two worlds. He should be trying to expand the passage so that more people and more power could pass through.
Even if he defeated this soul, the other party could immediately create another one and continue to exert pressure on the formation.
He sat in the formation not to fight with the other party, but to prevent the Huanyang and Shenzhao Sects from entering the world. By letting the soul in, it would be convenient for him to understand the other party's techniques and divine abilities through the soul, and it would also be convenient for him to destroy the other party quickly.
Just as he was thinking, he sensed that the last barrier outside the formation core had suddenly suffered a huge tremor and was smashed apart. In the next moment, a flickering soul spirit appeared there.
Guan Chaosheng's soul looked at him from above, and with another flash of light, he swooped down towards the center of the formation core.
Just like how Zhang Yu wanted to defeat him, he also wanted to defeat Zhang Yu quickly.
If he could kill Zhang Yu, the formation would lose the person in charge of the formation. He could sweep through the remaining formations in a short period of time, and then break through the seal in front of the passage.
Both parties wanted to get rid of the other party as quickly as possible, which led to this battle.
Zhang Yu watched as the soul flew over like a stream of light. He shouted out a grand Dao sound, and in an instant, a grand Qi descended from the void and landed on his body.
This was the method of borrowing the Qi of the Clear Sky that he had deduced using the Eye Seal, Word Seal, and Life Seal.
After Xuanting gave him the authority to control the Clear Sky Qi, the amount of Clear Sky Qi that he could borrow was not much, and could not be compared to the other court administrators.
This was because he had little contact with the Clear Sky Qi and did not know the profound principles behind it. However, after he observed the profound principles behind it, he could already form a connection with it. Under normal circumstances, the greatest amount of Clear Sky Qi he could use was about the upper limit of his Heart Force.
Under the guidance of the Word Seal and Life Seal, he could take another step forward. At that moment, he sensed the vast power surging towards him, but he did not let it stop there. He stretched out his hand and pressed forward, sending it all towards the Nascent Soul!
When Guan Chaosheng's Nascent Soul saw the Clear Sky Qi coming towards him, a glint appeared in his eyes. This time, he did not clash head-on. Instead, the magic power in his body swelled, and a ray of light that was like a scorching sun bloomed.
He exploded his body in an instant, and an incomparably vast power spread out from the center of the formation core. It was as if hundreds of stars had exploded at the same time. The void lit up, and a blinding ray of light instantly spread through the entire formation!
However, all of this did not end there. At the instant the Nascent Soul exploded, another Nascent Soul was instantly born due to the connection between the Nascent Soul and the bit of Yang Kalpa Qi.
This Nascent Soul continued charging towards the spot where Zhang Yu stood. Since the two Nascent Souls were born at an unusually fast speed from being destroyed to being born, the connection between them was also incredibly natural. This made it so that if the spectators did not observe carefully, they would not be able to tell that this change had happened.
This extremely simple change had not only scattered the power of Zhang Yu's attack and struck the formation, it had also seized the moment when Zhang Yu had already sent out the Clear Sky Qi and left his body empty.
This was not a coincidence. Instead, he had instantly seen that the power Zhang Yu had sent out had exceeded what he could handle, which was why he had made this choice. This timing was incredibly accurate. His vision, experience, decisiveness, and even strength were all indispensable.
At that moment, Zhang Yu was indeed at the point where his Clear Sky Qi had been completely emptied.
The weakness of this method was that the power drawn in from the outside was too great. He was only a fulcrum to move the power, which was why he could only control it in a simple manner. Once he sent it out, it would be practically impossible for him to change it.
However, he knew this very well. The reason why he had fought against his opponent in the formation was to use the power of the formation to make up for this flaw to a certain extent.
When Guan Chaosheng's Nascent Soul charged over, Meng Chao urged it with his mind, and the power of the Ten Thousand Luminaries Star Charging Formation changed. In an instant, it gathered at one point and pressed down on him.
The timing he chose to attack was also perfect. It was right after Guan Chaosheng had sent out his power. If he had chosen to clash with the formation directly, even if he could devour the power, he would definitely have slowed down for an instant. This would have been enough for him to make another change.
When Guan Chaosheng's Nascent Soul saw the power of the formation gather at one point and press down on him, he could not help but reveal a hint of admiration in his eyes, as if he had seen a brilliant opponent.
The power of the formation could not crush him, nor could it stop him from moving forward. However, he indeed had no way of devouring the power and completing a surprise attack at the same time.
If he tried to dodge or use other magical powers, then his forward momentum would definitely be interrupted. The opportunity created by the explosion of his Nascent Soul would disappear.
Most importantly, it was not that he did not guard against this. Therefore, when his Nascent Soul exploded, it also attacked the formation. However, from the looks of it, Zhang Yu had accumulated the power of the formation in advance, so he was not affected in the slightest. This was clearly a preemptive move, and he had calculated his possible changes in advance.
However, this move was not without its weakness.
The highly condensed power of the formation was to make it difficult for him to devour, but this would also inevitably shrink the area in front of him.
This was where he could make use of.
Therefore, in this instant, he adjusted the distribution of his mana. At the same time, he took the initiative to reach out and press against the incoming power of the formation!
