Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

Chai Hongyu's words instantly made everyone present's eyes sharpen and their expressions become extremely heavy.

The so-called Immortal Slaughtering Formation, as the name suggests, is an ancient, super-level formation that can even kill true immortals, and is more powerful than any other formation currently existing in the world.

The strongest formation in the world!

The claim of slaying the immortal is not a legend, but a fact with clear records.

Even immortals cannot escape death, so one can imagine how powerful the Immortal Slaughtering Formation is.

Jiang Chengdao walked to the parapet and said with a solemn expression, "Commander Chai, are you sure it's the Immortal Slaughtering Formation?"

Chai Hongyu nodded with a grim expression.

"I was fortunate enough to see the foundation of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation in my master's cave, and my master also told me about some of the characteristics of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation."

As she spoke, her voice inexplicably trembled slightly.

"She also said that although the Zhuxian Formation requires a great deal of energy to set up and the conditions for setting up the formation are extremely demanding, once it is activated and locks onto a target, even cultivators in the Unity Realm will find it difficult to escape from it."

"Furthermore, once the grand formation is activated, the space within its casting range will be directly stripped away. Most cultivators will find it difficult to even withstand the aftershocks of the grand formation, making it incredibly terrifying."

Lu Chen stepped forward slowly and said calmly, "Is there a way to break the formation?"

Chai Hongyu shook her head.

"Perhaps there are, but I don't understand."

She wasn't skilled in the art of formations, but Fu Hua, who was the most skilled in formations and could even be considered a genius among geniuses in this field, wasn't here at the moment.

Chai Hongyu had already tried, but although this space had not been stripped away, it had been blocked, and no means could break through the space's limitations to transmit messages to the outside world.

At this point, Luyang had become an isolated city.

"Is it."

Lu Chen turned to look at Jiang Chengdao.

"Your Highness, what do you think?"

Jiang Chengdao had been observing the countless small magic arrays outside, constantly changing, trying to see through their interconnections and the relationships between them to understand their true nature and find a way to break them.

However, the way those magic arrays connect and operate is extremely complex and varied, making it difficult to discern their patterns. Even someone like him, who possesses sacred relics and has access to the sacred laws, could not decipher them in a short time.

Hearing Lu Chen's question, he pondered for a moment before replying, "I do have a rough idea."

Upon hearing this, Chai Hongyu quickly asked, "What's your idea?"

Jiang Chengdao smiled, then waved his hand. Accompanied by a ripple in spacetime, a long spear surrounded by a thick purple mist slowly pierced through space, emerging from the spatial rift and finally landing steadily in Jiang Chengdao's hand.

Gripping his spear tightly, he slowly uttered a few words: "It's simple, one force can overcome ten techniques!"

Before Chai Hongyu could react, he suddenly raised his spear high, and as the power of the Holy Path surged wildly, a Holy Path technique that only the possessor of the Holy Relic Nine Netherworld could instantly activate—

"Ninefold Netherworld!"

Wow wow wow!!

A massive surge of holy spirit power erupted from the tip of the Nine Nether Spear in an instant, sweeping rapidly outwards and then materializing in mid-air, instantly forming a huge canopy several miles in diameter.

And the sky was rapidly expanding outwards.

"Certainly!"

The moment the sky completely covered the blood torrent formed by the remains and flesh of countless soldiers below, Jiang Chengdao suddenly clenched his fist.

As he moved, the purple sky suddenly shone brightly, and the holy power hidden within it instantly descended, forcibly suppressing the blood-red torrent and rapidly penetrating the magic array below.

Seeing this, Xuanping showed no sign of panic. He calmly raised a crimson command flag with his other hand, then used his spiritual power to throw it into the air, causing it to spin simultaneously with the Immortal Execution Sword.

Under his intervention, the magic array, which had slowed down, suddenly resumed operation and even ran faster than before. The blood-red torrent exploded with a "bang" and instantly transformed into hundreds of millions of ancient incantations, which rapidly spread around and continuously formed new sub-arrays, accelerating the formation of the Immortal Slaughtering Array.

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly clasped his hands together and quickly made a series of hand gestures.

In just a moment, a special communication channel formed around him.

"Your Highness, it's about time to make a move."

"Ah."

A majestic voice echoed in the void.

On the other side, Jiang Chengdao's expression under his mask changed slightly, and then he turned his head as if sensing something, looking directly above where Xuan Ping was.

But in the direction he was gazing at, where there had been nothing before, suddenly burst forth with streaks of crimson electricity the size of buckets. The once stable space began to twist violently, quickly forming a spacetime vortex.

As the spacetime vortex appeared, a power that was extremely familiar to Jiang Chengdao began to slowly emerge from the spacetime rift, as if making a declaration, and a series of powerful sounds echoed in the air.

Breathtaking.

"Your Highness, Holy King."

At this moment, Chai Hongyu asked somewhat anxiously:
"how's it going?"

Jiang Chengdao's tone became much heavier: "We have found some flaws, and perhaps we can find a glimmer of hope before the Zhuxian Formation is fully formed."

Upon hearing this, Chai Hongyu's face lit up with joy.

"What should we do? Your Majesty, please give the order as soon as possible. No matter what the task is, I will do everything in my power and will not fail Your Majesty's trust."

Jiang Chengdao nodded slightly, then turned to look at Cang Yue, who looked nervous, and Lu Chen, who remained calm and composed.

After glancing around at the group, he inexplicably took a deep breath, a strange purple glint flashing in his eyes.

A special power shot out from his eyes and landed silently on Lu Chen.

This little action was so subtle that even Chai Hongyu didn't notice it.

After doing all this, Jiang Chengdao gave Lu Chen a deep look, and then said to the three of them, "I have used a secret method to fix the four array eyes of the great formation. As long as we destroy them and occupy them at the same time, we can delay the formation time, and then break through them to escape."

Upon hearing this, Chai Hongyu immediately replied, "Your Highness, are all four array eyes the same?"

Jiang Chengdao shook his head.

"They are different; some are strong, some are weak, some are difficult, and some are easy."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's heart sank.

Fu Xian's prophecy resurfaced in his mind.

"Heading westward?"

Cang Yue asked, "Your Highness, what are the differences between these four directions, from most difficult to easiest?"

Jiang Chengdao didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "The east is the most difficult, followed by the north, then the south, and the west is the easiest. In fact, it can be said that the resistance at the center of the formation in the west is minimal and can be easily broken through."

"Currently, there are 60,000 combat soldiers and 80,000 auxiliary soldiers in the city. I believe that Commander Chai should lead 20,000 combat soldiers and 30,000 auxiliary soldiers to advance north, Commander Cangyue should lead the new army and 20,000 auxiliary soldiers to advance south, and I will personally lead the Xuanwu Guard and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers to advance east."

At this point, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Chen.

"The remaining troops will be handed over to Commander Huaiyu and will march westward at full speed." (End of Chapter)
