Chapter 595 Minor Array of Suppression Demons
ake action; not only to prevent Zeng Yitao from speaking further, but also to avenge Liu Yi.Liu Yi was loyal and was a commander of the Eastern Sea. Using a position in the Northern Sea to pressure so...Chapter 595 - The Small Zuxian Formation...
"Hmph!"
Moluoshan snorted coldly as his black sword grew wildly, spinning around him automatically to form an impenetrable black barrier.
The raging wind and fire, along with lightning strikes all around him, were swiftly blocked by the rapidly rotating black sword.
As the favorite disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Sect’s Grand Elder, his magical power was formidable. Though this black sword could not match Duan Yao's Purple-Green Treasure Sword, it was still made from special materials that could withstand any wind or fire conjured out of thin air.
"Still, our senior brother is powerful!"
Seeing Moluoshan in the middle between the two formations while not being harmed by their changes, the junior disciples outside the large formation praised him loudly.
Hao Ren sat inside his cave dwelling, looking up at the situation above the small valley formation and pouring elemental essence frenziedly into the compass.
The array was utilizing the surrounding natural qi of heaven and earth, but adjusting it required a cultivator's own magical power. Hao Ren’s mastery of the five elements made him perfectly suited to control this formation.
Boom! Boom!
All the raging wind and fire converged towards Moluoshan.
Moluoshan's black sword spun faster, but he himself appeared as if enclosed in a black cauldron, being baked by the flames within the formation.
The junior disciples who had just praised him were speechless now.
Though the array’s fire and lightning couldn’t harm Moluoshan, neither could he break through it. He was engaging in a contest of endurance with the formation’s power reserves by expending his own magical essence. However, the formation’s energy was drawn from the natural qi of heaven and earth—this formation... was essentially a "Zuxian Formation" that invited him in!
"Quickly save our senior brother!" One Core Formation cultivator immediately called out.
This shout snapped everyone else back to reality, and they all acted accordingly.
Varying treasures were hurled at a small point on the large formation one after another, causing it to fluctuate slightly and form an opening.
The black light between the two formations quickly retreated from this gap. But just as Moluoshan was about to retract his sword, a ball of intense fire scorched his face, burning off some eyebrows.
Moluoshan's originally dark complexion was now even darker from the smoke and flames. Breathing heavily, he slowly regained strength.
Had it not been for his junior brothers creating an opening for him, he might have perished in this formation. His fourth-stage Snow Lion steed also lost several patches of white fur, transforming its once majestic appearance into one of ugliness.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators watching from afar turned their heads away, pretending not to see his miserable state.
"Senior Brother, I think this array is indeed formidable. Why don’t we leave half the disciples outside for support and have us charge in" A Core Formation cultivator’s suggestion broke the awkward silence.
Now there were over two hundred cultivators joined in, with an additional twenty or so Core Formation-stage cultivators. Almost every Heavenly Mountain Sect cultivator active within the Five Heavens had gathered here.
A total of eighty Core Formation-stage cultivators—enough to level several sects under normal circumstances—were unable to break a small valley’s formation barrier.
This situation, if reported in the Sixth Heaven, would certainly invite ridicule from other sects about how powerless Heavenly Mountain was. It might even question whether Heavenly Mountain deserved to remain within the Sixth Heaven.
"Senior Brother, Elder Hongyuan of Fire Yang Sect said he could come to assist but needs a Heaven Mountain Order." A newly arrived Core Formation-stage cultivator thought for a moment and then told Moluoshan.
Elder Hongyuan was one of the few Nascent Soul-stage cultivators in the Five Heavens, albeit only at the initial stage. Yet within this environment scarce in high-level cultivators, he was an absolute top-tier expert.
"Pfft! This old man is dreaming too much!" Another cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage immediately complained.
Their Sky Mountain Sect was not short of Core Formation ancestors, but they were unwilling to appear in the Fifth Layer due to pride. If the Sky Mountain Sect asked for help from a core formation cultivator in the Fifth Layer, wouldn't it be even more shameful
Especially that Grand Ancestor Hongyuan, who was still an overly talkative old man. If he helped solve problems for the Sky Mountain Sect, who knew how much he would spread around in the Fifth Layer.
"Hmm! Senior Zuthu has Little Junior Sister's soul badge. If something happens to Little Junior Sister and she dies, Senior Zuthu will definitely notice it. Since Little Junior Sister is currently safe for now, we don't need to throw ourselves into disgrace." Molianshan said.
They had already been very shameful after failing to conquer a small valley with dozens of cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage for so long. If they were to ask for help from Fifth Layer cultivators, it would be even more embarrassing for the Sky Mountain Sect's reputation.
The longer this situation dragged on, the more other sects in the Sixth Layer would know about it, simply giving others an opportunity to mock them—The Sky Mountain Sect is indeed only good at refining pills and raising beasts, with their overall strength being absolutely terrible.
"Hahaha, I’ll keep watch for you all. If any of you need my help, please feel free to ask."
An elderly man in a green robe appeared beside the mountain.
When Molianshan and these Nascent Soul cultivators turned around and saw this old man, their expressions weren’t too good.
This old man was Grand Ancestor Hongyuan at the early Core Formation stage. He had come here without being invited, simply to watch the show.
"Get lost!"
A furious voice suddenly resounded in the Sixth Layer.
The smiling and smirking Grand Ancestor Hongyuan who was watching Molianshan and these others immediately stopped his smile. His face twitched awkwardly, and he wobbled off into the distance on a streak of green light.
"I just sealed myself for one hundred years, but the Sky Mountain Sect has become so weak! Tomorrow is my day to break out of seclusion. If there’s any mishap with Yaoren, all of you will have no chance of survival!"
The voice erupted again, shocking Molianshan and these other Nascent Soul cultivators. The Foundation Establishment stage cultivators in the distance couldn’t even resist it, covering their ears as they fell into the canyon along with their flying swords.
Even so, Molianshan and these other Nascent Soul cultivators were extremely elated, feeling a sense of excitement.
Their senior ancestor breaking out of seclusion must mean he had reached the late Core Formation stage!
Apart from those bottomless Tranformation level cultivators, late-stage core formation cultivators無疑是最強的！無疑是強大的！ were undoubtedly the strongest!
The sounds in the Sixth Layer suddenly stopped.
Core Formation realm experts from cultivation sects would strictly adhere to their announced dates when entering seclusion. If they declared a two hundred-year sealed period, they would definitely practice for exactly two hundred years unless there was a threat of annihilation or something similar; otherwise, they wouldn’t prematurely break out.
If it was an endless life and death sealed period, such as attempting to breakthrough to the late Core Formation stage, then their seclusion would be indefinite until they reached that level before officially breaking out.
Core formation cultivators believed that breaking out of a sealed period prematurely wasn’t auspicious. However, if it was on schedule, many core formation friends and various sects would arrive to congratulate them based on the announced date.
Core Formation realm experts were almost at an immortal level, so they didn’t care about life and death but rather their reputation.
Especially for this ancestor of the Sky Mountain Sect. His breakout would be watched by everyone with great anticipation; if he broke out prematurely, other core formation cultivators would definitely think that there was a major issue within the Sky Mountain Sect, which would be detrimental to its image.
With their senior ancestor’s voice gone, those Foundation Establishment stage cultivators who had fallen into the canyon each looked battered and bruised as they rose back up on their flying swords one by one.
"Brothers, follow me! Let's charge!" Molianshan waved his black saber as he charged towards the outer blue barrier once more.
He had already understood what his senior ancestor meant—if they couldn’t solve this issue with Immortal Mysterious Peak soon, then on the day when his senior ancestor broke out of seclusion tomorrow, it would be time for him to show off his might!
Although cultivators at the Yijin stage in the Sixth Heavens usually do not attack those in the Fifth Heavens, having nearly a thousand Heaven Mountain Sect cultivators unable to take over a small valley for such a long time is quite embarrassing!
Cousin Grandmaster personally stepping forward is also an opportunity to assert his authority! Who would dare to chatter away before a Yijin realm powerhouse
However… it's best for them, these Core Formation cultivators, to take care of Misty Peak before Cousin Grandmaster personally steps in. Otherwise, he'll punish their "ineptitude" after stepping forward!
Rumble rumble...
Confirming that Cousin Grandmaster will exit seclusion on time, these Core Formation cultivators felt immense pressure but were also excited and inspired. They poured all of their strength into attacking the outer layer blue barrier with their treasures.
Pah!
The barrier cracked open; forty Core Formation cultivators led by Moliang Mountain rushed in.
Another forty Core Formation cultivators stayed outside the blue barrier, ready to open another hole.
The three small sects under the blue barrier suddenly saw forty Heaven Mountain Sect Core Formation cultivators riding Snow Lions charging into their barrier. They were so scared that they couldn't even stand up straight.
Each of their sects only had two or three Core Formation cultivators. Forty cultivators split into groups would be enough to squash them all.
Whoosh whoosh...
Hundreds of fireballs shot toward them.
"Spread out!" Moliang Mountain used his black sword to block a fireball and shouted the command.
These Core Formation cultivators were not "fundamentalists" sitting in their sects, but instead were experienced "action-oriented types". They instantly split up the fireballs and surrounded Misty Peak's small barrier from all sides.
Hao Ren didn't expect dozens of reinforcements to arrive so quickly. With these dozens of Core Formation cultivators charging in at full force, the formation could really no longer hold out.
If they attacked them as chaotically as before, it would still be okay. But if they simultaneously threw their treasures, who knew if this inner array could hold up
And if they let these cultivators break through and take the initiative to fight in a numerically inferior position, with Xie Yujia and Zhao Yanzi severely injured, Hao Ren alone wouldn't be able to block them.
Hao Ren was somewhat worried as he poured abundant spiritual energy into the compass.
A dense fog spread out, making it impossible to see even one's hand in the valley outside of the small barrier. Cold winds blew, and fireballs shot at these Core Formation cultivators from within the mist.
"Attack together!" Moliang Mountain transmitted this command into his juniors' ears.
Bam!
Forty treasures simultaneously struck the barrier.
The valley rumbled, and the array almost collapsed.
"Attack again!" Moliang Mountain continued to direct them.
Moliang Mountain knew a bit about arrays. A double-layered barrier like this could create an independent space to trap any invading enemies, but conversely, it made the inner barrier somewhat weak. Attacking from all directions would give them a chance of breaking through the barrier.
The forty treasures struck the barrier again simultaneously, while the fireballs shot out in the fog were blocked by their Snow Lions.
Hao Ren's right hand that was on the compass suddenly snapped up.
The formation could amplify spiritual energy by tens of times, but if the formation was impacted, the cultivator controlling it would also suffer a significant blow!
A soft palm suddenly pressed onto Hao Ren's hand back.
Hao Ren's palm once again adhered to the compass. A weak yet pure spiritual energy passed through Hao Ren's hand back and entered the compass.
"Geng, Yin, White Tiger, Metal, Yin!" a gentle voice whispered in Hao Ren's ear.
The compass moved to the corresponding position; outside the valley, the small protective barrier roused strong winds.
The fireballs穿梭在迷霧裡 suddenly turned into streaks of golden light. If observed closely, these were flying daggers!
"Don’t be afraid, this is an illusion!" Mo Lianshan shouted loudly.
His voice had barely left his mouth when a ray of gold light pierced through his arm, leaving behind a very real round hole in his flesh and blood!
Ahhh... various cries of agony sounded within the mist.
"Brother Liu, Brother Song…" Mo Lianshan called out urgently.
Another ray of golden light flew towards him; Mo Lianshan quickly raised his black sword to defend and was sent flying half a meter by the loud clang!
"Retreat! Retreat!" Mo Lianshan shouted.
This strange formation could even generate materialized treasure-grade gold daggers, like hundreds of cultivators hiding within the mist attacking them!
However, standing at fixed positions to attack the barrier had some directions; now that the fog was thicker, they couldn’t distinguish north from south and east from west if they wanted to retreat.
The fog also seemed to block their shouts; waves of white mist surged forth, making it impossible for Mo Lianshan to hear his apprentices’ cries as thick fog nearly overwhelmed him!
Was the entire army doomed A sense of despair arose within Mo Lianshan's heart.
In a cave in the valley, Hao Ren turned slightly and saw by his side none other than Xie Yujia.
Her face was still pale but she managed to force out a smile. "You are so stupid; Zhen Ciming gave you that formation scripture next to this compass and you didn’t even look at it."
Hao Ren looked at her, smiling bitterly. If they couldn’t get through today, weren’t they all going to be finished here
Xie Yujia picked up the formation scripture again and glanced over it; she gently turned the compass. "Ji, Shen, Vermilion Bird, Water, Yang!"
Outside the barrier, huge waves suddenly surged forth; Mo Lianshan felt like he was experiencing an illusion but the waves instantly sent him flying off his snow lion’s back!
In the middle of these waves were fire beads that would explode upon contact.
"Listen up outside! This Drifting Peak is not a place you can trespass. If you depart quickly, I’ll spare your lives!"
Just as Mo Lianshan was blown about dizzily, a clear voice sounded from the valley.
Hao Ren turned to look at Xie Yujia by his side and found that she issuing slightly threatening words still carried some authority.
Xie Yujia smiled faintly; her pale face had a hint of red. Despite their fierce approach, she didn’t wish to take their lives.o and pouted her little mouth."The victor is king! Kill me if you dare!" Duan Yao lifted her chin defiantly.Seeing the fifth level of Heaven as a tourist attraction was Zhao Yanzi's mistake.Duan Yao k...
