Chapter 862: The Array Cracks

"and after?"

"Then they started fighting. This fight lasted for seven days and seven nights. Most of the time, Jiahe was on the attack while Jianzun was on the defense. Just as Jiahe was sure, Jianzun didn't dare to kill him, and ended up at a disadvantage. Both of them suffered a lot of injuries, and Jianzun's injuries were probably more serious."

"As soon as they started fighting, I quickly activated the defense formation. At this time, the defense formation on the altar and the Xu Earth Universe Formation had been connected as one, so what you saw was that the entire small world returned to flying sand and rocks and raging winds. I was worried that you would come to find me, and it would be dangerous if you met these two gods, so I simply cut off contact with Xue'er..."

In the bluestone space, Mu Zixue's story was still going on. From time to time, someone would interrupt and ask a few questions, and she would answer them in detail.

"Why does Jia He want to fight with Jian Zun?" Qing Xiao Ling was a little confused: "What good will it do him if he defeats Jian Zun?"

"Silly girl," Yang Zhen patted the little fox's head lovingly, but there was a chill in his tone: "If you kill the Sword Master, there will only be him and the God of Mountain Realm left in this world. The four pillars of the Heaven and Earth Formation will be missing two, and it will inevitably collapse. At that time, he can escape to the outside world."

"So that's how it is. This old man is so mean!" Qing Xiaoling said with disdain. Then her face tightened and she looked worried. "Did this mean old man win in the end? We were on the road and saw the strange celestial phenomenon that showed that Lord Jianzun was beaten to death!"

"No!" Mu Zixue shook her head lightly:

"Jia He did not win. Huang Ji suddenly appeared and attacked and killed Jian Zun. Jia He was seriously injured and left..."

Sure enough!

Yang Zhen thought to himself. In fact, after coming here and seeing that it was Huang Ji who attacked Mu Zixue, he had already guessed it.

  Then, a question that I had been thinking about for a long time but had no answer to came to my mind:

"Huang Ji, how did she find this place?"

……

"Because of this thing!" Mu Zixue replied.

A light grey ice ball was placed in the palm of his hand. With a flick of his finger, the ice ball gradually melted, and wisps of grey smoke rose up, with the face of an old man looming in the middle.

"This is the remnant soul of Huang Ji that took over King Lu. After we jointly eliminated him eight years ago, I brought it with me. This item comes from the soul of the immortal beast Zhu Huang. Even in the Hongxuan Realm, it is an extremely rare treasure. It can be used to refine various rare soul tools, and it can also help Mahayana cultivators cultivate their souls..."

"I didn't think of this thing at the time. It was only later that Huang Ji killed two gods one after another and immediately pointed the spearhead at me. I used the defense formation on the altar to fight him and reconnected with Xue'er. Because I know that you are also looking for him!"

"Huang Ji attacked for a while, and seeing that he couldn't break the formation in such a hurry, he told me that he would let me go as long as I was willing to hand over all the spiritual objects on me. Of course I wouldn't agree, but I secretly paid attention to it. After checking everything in the storage ring, I finally confirmed that what Huang Ji wanted was this thing!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember it." Yang Zhen said, "A month ago, we had a fight with Huang Ji in the sect's secret library. At that time, I was wondering how this person could find such a secret place as the secret library. Now it seems that he must have sensed the first remnant of his soul sealed in the Wuliang Tuoying Mirror. In the end, she not only took away this remnant of soul, but also completely merged it in the secret library."

"These residual souls are very important to Huang Ji," Yi Yi, who had been listening carefully and rarely spoke, said at this time: "If Huang Ji's soul cannot be integrated into all these scattered residual souls, he will never be able to recover to the state of looking down on the world in the past, let alone make further progress. Therefore, he must get this thing!"

"We can't give it to him! This guy is so bad." Qing Xiaoling said hurriedly.

Everyone laughed.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Yang Zhen said with a smile.

In his heart, Huang Ji has always been his greatest enemy, and his danger level is even higher than those several gods. He and Huang Ji have accumulated a lot of hatred. The other party also knows many of his secrets, such as the Qiankun world like Xiaoqingshi.

The two of them have long been incompatible.

"Not only will we not give him any remaining soul, we will also take the initiative to attack and kill this beast before his strength recovers!" Yang Zhen said viciously.

……

One day passed in the blink of an eye.

During this day, apart from recovering their magic power and recuperating their spirits, everyone spent the rest of the time training in the Hunyuan Xuanzong Formation.

After Mu Zixue joined, there were already seven Nascent Souls in the formation, and the power released was equivalent to that of dozens of cultivators of the same level. It was incomparable to what it was eight days ago.

Although Huang Ji's strength is several times greater than before, Yang Zhen is more confident.

After the last exercise was successfully completed, Mu Zixue opened a corner of the defense formation, and the seven of them formed a battle formation and headed straight for the valley where Huang Ji was hiding.

As soon as I left the formation, I saw a petite white figure flying towards me, it was Huang Ji.

  It turns out that both sides have the same idea!

Then there is nothing more to say, let’s start the war immediately!

This time, Yang Zhen's formation was complete, and the newly joined Mu Zixue was a sharp weapon for attack. The purple snowflakes that contained the rules of the avenue not only covered a large area, but also had a very obvious effect of delaying the enemy. Once contaminated, they would be more or less slowed down for a moment, which brought great trouble to Huang Ji.

After the Wuliang Tuoying Mirror became ineffective, Qing Xiaoling simply focused on defense. Relying on her own talent for charm, she brought out the "trapping" aspect of the Hunyuan Xuanzong Formation to the fullest.

Qixia's Colorful Brocade has only average attack power, but has a very good interference effect. When combined with Qing Xiaoling's Charm, it is like icing on the cake, a match made in heaven.

The two of them worked together, repeatedly dazzling Huang Ji and almost making him lost in the formation.

In this battle, Yang Zhen achieved great results.

Not only did he beat Huang Ji to the point of vomiting blood several times, he also destroyed all five fifth-level puppets that she used to assist in the battle.

The only regret is that I was unable to kill her.

This guy was indeed very experienced in combat, and could often find a glimmer of hope in a doomed situation. When facing Yang Zhen's blue light column attack, he made prompt decisions several times, risking his life to escape danger at the cost of being injured and vomiting blood.

In the end, she held on.

When an hour was approaching, Yang Zhen had to end the battle.

Although he had a certain degree of confidence in killing Huang Ji if he continued, after losing the protection of the Guardian Wall, the opponent's counterattack before death would most likely make him pay an unacceptable price.

After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Zhen decided to withdraw his troops. With the Xu Tu Qian Kun formation, there was no need to worry about this guy escaping.

……

Both sides returned to their respective camps to heal and rest at the same time, just like players in a turn-based game.

Yang Zhen wasn't bored enough to send anyone to cause any interference, as that would only result in a waste of lives.

Although the battle was not won in one go, everyone was still happy and filled with the joy of victory.

Only Yi Yi frowned slightly, with a hint of worry between her brows.

"Huang Ji's strength is stronger than yesterday."

On the second day, the two sides continued to fight.

Yang Zhen paid close attention this time and found that Huang Ji had indeed become stronger. Although this improvement was only a small step for her, who was at the level of a spirit being, if she compared them carefully, she could still see a clear difference.

For example, the fire needles from Dandan and Zhuzhu, she still had to stretch out her fingers to extinguish them two days ago, but today, she just ignored them completely and directly dealt with them with the protective true qi in her body.

Another example is Mu Zixue's purple snowflakes. When Huang Ji used his sword to pick them apart yesterday, a white frost mark about a foot long was left on the sword, which lasted for a breath. Today, the mark left was only more than seven feet long, and it lasted less than a breath. These changes might not be noticed in the fierce battle, but since Yang Zhen had this prejudice in his heart, he could see them clearly when he secretly observed.

In addition, Huang Ji's operation of magic power, use of spells, adaptation to the Hunyuan Xuanzong Formation, etc. are also improving.

An hour later, Yang Zhen withdrew his troops again.

Huang Ji only suffered three serious injuries and more than ten minor wounds that day, which was much less than yesterday. This was achieved without the assistance of puppets, otherwise, the injuries would be even less.

Even Qing Xiaoling, who was the most slow-witted, finally noticed that something was wrong.

"Why does this guy change every day?" complained the little fox.

"It should be because of the seed," Yi Yi analyzed, "The spiritual power contained in the seeds of the Heaven and Earth Formation may be far more than we imagined. Huang Ji is still integrating, so his strength is still growing."

The smiles disappeared from everyone's faces and they all became worried.

That night, Yi Yi racked her brains and improved the formation once again, trying to maximize everyone's combat power.

On the third day, the two sides continued to fight.

Yang Zhen used almost all of his belongings, not only consuming several fifth-level talismans, but also detonating two fifth-level magic weapons. The power of each explosion was close to a divine attack, but the injury caused to Huang Ji in the end was barely more than yesterday, and even worse than the first day.

On the fourth day, fight again.

Yang Zhen's side had a slight advantage, but the wounds left on Huang Ji's body had been reduced to two insignificant ones.

On the fifth day, Yang Zhen, who had regained his spirit, gathered everyone and prepared to fight again.

Yi Yi persuaded him.

"It's useless," said the Little Immortal Grass. "Even if we can barely gain the upper hand today, it's meaningless. If we completely expose our strengths and weaknesses, we won't be able to fight this beast in the future."

"We might as well use the defense formation on the altar to fight her. Otherwise, if we can't get back safely within an hour, we will be in danger."

Yiyi's words were not alarmist. In fact, the battles of the past few days had already allowed Huang Ji to figure out the details. They could only hold out for an hour. Therefore, at the last moment yesterday, Huang Ji had intended to stop them from leaving, but he was frightened by Yang Zhen's green light column and did not dare to pursue them.

But can Yang Zhen's killer weapon guarantee that it will successfully deter the enemy every time?

  Their opponent is a generation of heroes who once dominated the entire Zhenyu Realm and has extremely rich combat experience!

Yang Zhen pondered for a long time and accepted Yi Yi's suggestion.

……

Huang Ji arrived as expected and saw Yang Zhen sitting cross-legged on the altar in a fighting stance, staring at her.

She felt a little surprised and thought that the side was not prepared, so she retreated a hundred feet away and prepared for battle.

After a while, no one came out, and he suddenly realized what was going on. He sneered and went back to continue his retreat.

She was not worried about Yang Zhen sneaking away. As she had merged Gou Xie's memories, she certainly knew how to deal with Xiao Qingshi. At that time, Gou Xie, who was only at the Jindan level, could still force Xiao Qingshi into a corner with his spiritual fire. Now that she had reached the level of a spirit, as long as she roughly locked onto Xiao Qingshi's range, it would be difficult for the latter to escape her search.

Yang Zhen also didn't think of withdrawing. He was waiting for a suitable opportunity.

In the next few days, Huang Ji would come over every day. Seeing that he was hiding, he would sometimes laugh at him when he was in a good mood.

Yang Zhen didn't care. When he was in the county school, he was the last in the grade. He was ridiculed every day, but he didn't lose his temper. He had already developed a thick skin at that time. Huang Ji was a senior who lived thousands of years ago. It didn't matter if she scolded him a few times. It wouldn't hurt him.

Since the method of provoking was ineffective, Huang Ji decided not to continue trying in this regard and simply sat outside the altar and chatted with Yang Zhen.

If we put aside our respective positions, this person has extraordinary conversation and profound knowledge, and can be said to be an excellent conversation partner.

The many events from three thousand years ago and the various secrets of some powerful predecessors, when spoken from her mouth, were often witty and exciting, and also allowed Yang Zhen to gain a better understanding of the Zhenyu Realm.

Yang Zhen would sometimes pick out some interesting stories to tell, which was his starting point. Huang Ji was very interested and applauded repeatedly.

If someone who doesn't know the situation saw this, they would really think that these two people have been close friends for many years.

Thus a month passed.

  On this day, after telling the story of an ancient female cultivator's past and future, Huang Ji suddenly changed the subject and asked with a smile:

"Brother Yang, why isn't your confidante Qin Mingyue with you?"

Yang Zhen's heart sank slightly, and he did not answer.

The conversation between two people, as long as it involves each other's privacy, often ends in silence. So in order to keep the conversation going, both parties sometimes tacitly avoid some topics.

Obviously, Huang Ji was not going to follow the rules this time.

"If I go to the State of Qin and invite the queen here, I wonder if that will get my brother to leave this altar?" Huang Ji continued to ask.

Yang Zhen said coldly, "Can you get out now?"

Their confrontation had lasted for more than a month, and they had already missed the window to leave. In other words, even if they manipulated the array eye on the altar, they could not stop the Xu Earth Universe Array. Most of the power of this array came from the small world. Once it was running, it would only have a chance to stop through the array eye once every ten years. This time was usually chosen around the twelfth lunar month, which was when Jiahe was in seclusion in the Wanxuan Tower.

Yang Zhen already knew some of these situations, and some were told to him by Mu Zixue in the past few days.

  Huang Ji, of course, didn't know this. After hearing what Yang Zhen said, he was slightly stunned:

"Why, this formation can't be stopped?"

Yang Zhen remained silent.

Huang Ji's eyebrows suddenly twisted into a ball. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed and he looked up.

……

"Rumble--"

There was a faint sound of thunder, and the sound was extremely far away, as if it was above the sky, at the end of the sky.

The sound continued.

The sky was dark and rain was pouring down.

The thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the year of Yiwei, in the Daxu calendar, one thousand and sixty-ninth year.

On that day, the heaven and earth magic formation hanging high above the millions of cultivators in the Zhenyu Realm suddenly cracked, tearing open a space rift that was hundreds of miles long!
