Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue made a prompt decision and shouted, "Don't worry about anything else, just rush to the exit with all your strength!"

Led by Fang Yue, the members of the expedition team ran towards the exit desperately.

At this time in the cave, rocks kept falling and the ground was shaking violently. Every step forward was full of danger.

While running, Fang Yue kept an eye on the movements of the man in black robe behind him.

He knew very well that the man in black would not let them go easily and he had to remain vigilant at all times.

Suddenly, a huge rock fell towards one of the team members. Fang Yue was quick-witted and used his sword to move the rock away, buying a glimmer of hope for the team member.

"Everyone be careful and take shelter!" Fang Yue's voice sounded particularly firm in the chaos, giving the team members courage and strength.

The man in black robe was also moving towards the exit with difficulty, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Fang Yue, don't think you can escape so easily!" He said gritting his teeth while dodging the falling rocks.

Just as the expedition team was about to reach the exit, a huge crack appeared in front of them. Black smoke continued to pour out of the crack, as if leading to an endless dark abyss.

"What...what should we do?" a team member asked anxiously.

"Haha, this place has become a place without any souls. Without the vitality of heaven and earth, if you encounter such a natural disaster, you will die here too!"

The sinister laughter of the man in black robe sounded particularly harsh in this chaotic environment. He was standing not far away with a twisted look of pleasure on his face.

At this critical moment, Fang Yue's eyes became more resolute. He was not shaken by the sudden crack and the ridicule of the man in black robe. He quickly analyzed the current situation and had a countermeasure in mind.

"Everyone calm down! Don't panic!" Fang Yue's voice penetrated the smoke and chaos.

At this moment, the man in black robe seemed to sense the determination and wisdom in Fang Yue's eyes. His smile suddenly froze, and a sense of uneasiness began to spread in his heart. The man in black robe realized that Fang Yue might have a plan to deal with it, which made him feel an unprecedented threat.

"Fang Yue, don't try any tricks!" the man in black robe shouted angrily, trying to cover up his uneasiness with his voice, while quickening his pace in an attempt to intercept the expedition team before they found a way out.

However, Fang Yue ignored the black-robed man's shouting. He quickly looked around, looking for resources that could be used.

His eyes fell on a protruding rock not far away, which was right on the edge of the crack.

Immediately, he violently mobilized the little remaining energy in his body, and the long sword in his hand pulled out a blazing chain.

Boom!

But in an instant, the stone pillar not far ahead collapsed and rested on the crack.

"You go first, I'll stop him!"

As soon as Fang Yue finished his words, he jumped up like a tiger descending from a mountain and rushed straight towards the black-robed man who was approaching quickly.

"Fang Yue, you are looking for death!" The man in black robe roared and increased his speed. Black air swirled in his hands, and it was obvious that he was ready to launch an all-out attack.

However, Fang Yue did not retreat. His eyes were full of determination and fearlessness.

He knew that this was their only chance to escape from here, and he had to buy enough time for his teammates.

"Go!" Fang Yue shouted, and swung the sword in his hand suddenly. A blazing sword energy cut through the darkness and went straight towards the man in black robe.

Seeing this, the man in black had to dodge sideways, which widened the distance between him and the expedition team.

The expedition members took the opportunity to quickly cross the temporary bridge made of stone pillars and rushed towards the exit.

Seeing that the expedition team was about to escape, the man in black robe became furious. He accelerated again, trying to bypass Fang Yue and directly chase the expedition team.

However, Fang Yue followed him like a shadow, wielding his sword and using sword energy to drive the man in black robe back again and again.

"Want to get through? Ask the sword in my hand first!" Fang Yue's voice echoed in the darkness, full of indomitable spirit and determination.

The man in black finally realized that Fang Yue was not as easy to defeat as he had imagined.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, and he decided not to fight with Fang Yue anymore. Instead, he turned around and chased in another direction, attempting to intercept the expedition team from the flank.

However, Fang Yue had already anticipated the black-robed man's intention. He flashed and jumped off the stone pillar, standing in front of the black-robed man.

"Your opponent is me!" Fang Yue shouted, pointing his sword directly at the man in black robe, his tone full of unquestionable determination.

The man in black robe showed a ferocious smile on his face when he saw this. He knew Fang Yue's tenacity and strength very well, but at this moment he was almost crazy and just wanted to seize this last chance to catch the entire expedition team in one fell swoop.

"Fang Yue, you are courting death!" The black-robed man roared, and his body suddenly accelerated, like a wolf in the dark night, rushing straight at Fang Yue. Black energy surged between his palms, and he was obviously ready to launch the most powerful attack.

Fang Yue was not afraid at all. He took a deep breath, and the remaining vitality in his body seemed to be completely ignited at this moment. His eyes flashed with a determined light, and his long sword drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, facing the fatal blow of the man in black robe.

"Sword shadows split!" Fang Yue shouted and swung his sword suddenly. The sword light flashed and instantly split into countless tiny sword shadows, like stars in the sky, flying towards the man in black robe.

The black-robed man's face changed drastically when he saw this. He didn't expect Fang Yue to have such a powerful move. He hurriedly used his body skills to dodge left and right, trying to avoid these deadly sword shadows.

However, Fang Yue's sword shadow seemed to have a spirit, closely following the figure of the man in black robe. No matter how he dodged, the sword shadow would always follow him and approach his vital points.

The man in black robe finally realized that he was in a desperate situation. A mixture of despair and anger surged in his heart, and he decided to fight to the death.

"Impossible, impossible, there is clearly no vitality left here, how could you have lasted this long!"

The man in black robe roared and suddenly clasped his palms together. A powerful dark force burst out from his body, instantly dyeing the surrounding air black.

This force was so powerful that even Fang Yue couldn't help but feel a palpitation in his heart.

However, Fang Yue did not back down.

He gritted his teeth, and pushed the vitality in his body to the extreme. The long sword drew a dazzling trajectory in the air and pierced the black-robed man's heart. "Die!" Fang Yue shouted, and the long sword seemed to turn into a flash of lightning, piercing through the black-robed man's dark power and going straight to his vital point.

A trace of fear and unwillingness flashed across the black-robed man's eyes. He didn't expect that he would be defeated by Fang Yue. However, it was too late.

The long sword pierced through the black-robed man's body, bringing out a puff of black blood mist.

The black-robed man fell weakly to the ground, and the fire of life was completely extinguished at this moment.

Fang Yue looked at the black-robed man lying on the ground, a complex emotion welling up in his heart.

Afterwards, he did not leave immediately, but studied the Jueling Formation here.

Fang Yue squatted down and carefully observed the traces of runes that were faintly visible on the ground around him. These runes emitted a faint black light, which was the key to the Absolute Spirit Formation. He knew very well that this formation could make the vitality of heaven and earth disappear without a trace here, and it must have a unique structure and operating principle. If it could be cracked, it might be of great help in dealing with similar methods of the Demon Shadow Society in the future.

He carefully touched the runes with his fingers, and a cold and evil breath came from his fingertips, making him shudder. But he did not retreat at all, concentrating on feeling the power fluctuations contained in the runes. After some exploration, he found that there was a certain connection between these runes, like a tightly interwoven web, influencing and restricting each other.

"This formation looks complicated, but it must have its core hub. As long as we find and destroy it, we can break this soul-killing formation." Fang Yue said to himself.

He stood up and slowly paced around the edge of the formation, searching every corner carefully. Suddenly, he noticed that near where the black-robed man fell, the runes on the ground seemed to be more dense, and there was a tiny depression, forming a subtle echo with the surrounding runes.

"Could this be the key?" Fang Yue's mind moved, and he immediately walked forward. He squatted down and carefully observed the depression again. He saw some more ancient and mysterious runes engraved inside the depression. These runes flashed with strange light, as if telling the secret of the formation.

Fang Yue circulated the remaining vital energy in his body and carefully injected it into the depression. In an instant, the runes in the depression glowed brightly, and the entire Absolute Spiritual Formation began to vibrate violently.

"Sure enough!" Fang Yue was delighted, but he also knew that he couldn't let his guard down at this moment. As the formation vibrated, the surrounding dark forces began to surge wildly, trying to stop his cracking action.

Fang Yue increased his energy output, trying to suppress the dark power. However, the dark power was extremely strong and kept attacking his energy defense. His forehead was gradually covered with sweat and his breathing became rapid.

But Fang Yue's eyes became more determined, he gritted his teeth and tried his best to mobilize the vitality in his body. With his unremitting efforts, the rune light in the depression gradually overshadowed the surrounding dark power, and the vibration of the Absolute Spirit Formation began to gradually weaken.

Finally, with a dull roar, the core hub of the Absolute Spirit Formation was completely destroyed. The surrounding dark runes instantly lost their light, and the vitality of heaven and earth surged back into the area like a tide.

Fang Yue stood up and breathed a sigh of relief. He successfully cracked the Absolute Soul Formation, which not only made this cave no longer a place of Absolute Souls, but more importantly, he had a deeper understanding of the Dark Magic of the Demon Shadow Society.

He turned and walked towards the exit, thinking that he should tell the talented people of Wei about this discovery as soon as possible. Perhaps this could become another powerful weapon against the Demon Shadow Society.

After walking out of the cave, Fang Yue quickened his pace to catch up with the expedition team. The team members smiled with relief when they saw that he had returned safely.

"Master Fang, you're finally back. We were so worried." said a team member.

Fang Yue walked out of the cave, the sun shining on his face, bringing a hint of warmth. He took a deep breath of the free air, his heart filled with the joy of victory and expectations for the future.

~~~~~~~~
One month later,
Fang Yue returned to the Great Wei Imperial City and immediately began to study the Jueling Formation.

He knew very well that this formation was one of the important means to fight against the demonic tide.

If this kind of formation could be deployed between the entire heaven and earth, it would isolate the vital energy of the entire heaven and earth.

Then the demon tide will lose its extraordinary possession and become a threat. In this way, the threat of the demon tide can be solved in disguise.

He knew it was a difficult task, but his faith and sense of responsibility drove him to keep moving forward.

Fang Yue began to consult a large amount of ancient books and materials, and communicate and discuss with talented people in the imperial city, trying to find a feasible path to realize this idea.

After several days of in-depth research, Fang Yue discovered that the core of the Jueling Formation lies in the control and isolation of the vital energy of heaven and earth.

To achieve the feat of isolating the vital energy of the entire heaven and earth, an unprecedentedly powerful force and precise means of control are required.

To achieve this goal, Fang Yue began to develop new spells and formations.

He combined the traditional Jueling Formation with his own practical experience, constantly experimenting and adjusting, striving to find a method that can effectively isolate the vitality of heaven and earth while maintaining stability and sustainability.

During this process, Fang Yue encountered countless difficulties and challenges.

Sometimes, his magic experiments would cause a small-scale disorder in the vital energy of heaven and earth, resulting in abnormalities in the surrounding environment; sometimes, his experiments would end in failure because of his lack of precise control over the magic array.

But no matter how great the difficulties were, Fang Yue never gave up.

As time went by, Fang Yue's research on spells and formations gradually made breakthrough progress.

He successfully developed a new type of soul-killing formation, which could isolate the vital energy of heaven and earth over a larger area while maintaining stability and sustainability.

Fang Yue’s achievements did not stop at the successful development of a new type of absolute soul formation.

He knew very well that more testing and improvement would be needed to truly apply this formation to fight against the demonic tide.

So he began to look for a suitable testing site around the imperial city in preparation for larger-scale field tests.

After several days of investigation, Fang Yue selected a remote valley as the test site.

The terrain here is dangerous and sparsely populated, making it an ideal place to conduct magic experiments.

He led a team composed of talented people from the imperial city, carrying the materials for the layout of the new soul-saving formation, to the valley for field testing.

In the valley, Fang Yue and his team began the intensive preparation work.

According to the pre-designed plan, they placed the array materials in designated positions one by one, and carefully adjusted the angle and position of each material to ensure the stability and effectiveness of the array.

After several days of hard work, the new Absolute Spiritual Formation was finally set up. Fang Yue took a deep breath and activated the formation.

In an instant, the entire valley seemed to be shrouded by an invisible barrier, and the vital energy of heaven and earth was completely isolated.

The air around me became extremely heavy, and even breathing became difficult. (End of this chapter)
