Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Fang Yue squatted down and carefully observed the faint traces of runes on the ground around him. These runes emitted a faint black light and were the key to the Jueling Formation.

He knew very well that this formation could make the vital energy of heaven and earth disappear without a trace here, and it must have a unique structure and operating principle.

If we can crack it, it may be of great help in dealing with similar methods of the Demon Shadow Society in the future.

He carefully touched the rune with his fingers, and a cold and evil breath came through his fingertips, making him shiver.

But he did not retreat at all, concentrating his mind 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.

“Although this formation can be copied, it is still far from enough to seal the sky and the earth, isolate the vital energy of heaven and earth, and sever the foundation of transcendence!”

The coverage range of a formation naturally has a limit, take the formation in front of us for example.

Its coverage area is as large as a thousand feet in radius.

However, the vast lands of the entire Wei Dynasty, the Chu Dynasty, and even outside the two dynasties are more than hundreds of millions of miles.

When Fang Yue thought of this, he couldn't help but think to himself that if he wanted to use such a formation to influence the vitality of the heaven and earth in the entire Wei Dynasty or even a wider area, it would inevitably require huge resources and energy to set up a larger formation.

The difficulty involved is that the formation hasn’t even been successfully set up.

The demonic tide has already engulfed the human world.

So, how should this formation be arranged so that it can connect the earth to the sky?

"Oh right, Jedi Tiantong!"

When this thought came to Fang Yue’s mind, some of the things described in the mythological stories he had seen in his previous life suddenly emerged.

If the stories happening in this world right now were to be passed down for tens of millions of years, wouldn't they be similar to the stories of previous lives?

"According to myths and legends, Zhuanxu cut down the Jianmu tree to cut off the connection between heaven and earth, making it difficult for mortals to ascend to heaven and for gods to descend to the world at will..."

"Also, Liu Bowen killed the dragon."

These legends are indeed somewhat similar to what Fang Yue wants to do at the moment.

In this world, a large formation is built to isolate the vital energy of heaven and earth.

If successful, wouldn't it be able to create a "Jedi Tiantong" like in myths and legends?
In this way, the conspiracy of the Demon Shadow Society will be defeated and the demon tide will no longer pose a threat.

Fang Yue's mind brightened. If he could build the formation in the correct way and isolate the vital energy of heaven and earth, although it sounded risky, it might really be possible to cut off the source of the power of the Demonic Tide from the root and make the conspiracy of the Demonic Shadow Society completely bankrupt.

After all, the raging demonic tide is inextricably linked to the abnormality of the vitality of heaven and earth. If this key factor can be controlled, the situation will be very different.

"But this is easier said than done. Such a huge formation requires an unimaginable amount of materials, manpower, and time. Moreover, if there is any mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

Fang Yue frowned, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

But when he thought of the conspiracy of the Demon Shadow Society and the suffering that the Demon Tide had brought to the people of the world, he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, it's worth a try."

In the headquarters of the Demon Shadow Society, a strange black mist filled the dark hall. A dozen core members in black robes sat around a huge stone table. The atmosphere was depressing and solemn.

The leader of the Shadow Society, "Lord of Shadows", sat at the head, his face hidden under the dark hood, only his pair of eyes flashing with faint green light revealed endless gloom and greed.

"That Fang Yue seems to have noticed some of our plans recently. We must not let him ruin our plans." The Shadow Lord's voice was low and cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

"My Lord, what should we do? The Wei side seems to have strengthened its defenses, and our actions have become increasingly difficult." A man in black robe asked cautiously.

The Shadow Lord sneered, "Humph, they think they can stop us by strengthening their defenses? How naive. Our plan goes far beyond this. Do you know that in addition to controlling the energy of heaven and earth, there is another more powerful force that can be used."

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion.

"The seal between the human and demon worlds!"

The Shadow Lord spoke word by word, "The seal between the human and demon worlds has lasted for thousands of years. Although it is extremely strong, it is not impervious. Once the seal is broken, the power of the demon tide will sweep across the entire world. By then, we can take advantage of the chaos to control everything."

"But my lord, once the seal between the human and demon worlds is broken, the demons will flood into the human world and we may be implicated as well." Another man in black robe expressed his concern.

The Shadow Lord said disdainfully: "Idiot! We in the Shadow Society have mastered unique spells that are enough to protect ourselves in the chaos.

Moreover, the powers of the monsters vary. As long as we guide them a little, we can make them our helpers and fight against the Wei Dynasty and those self-righteous practitioners together."

"Your Majesty is wise! Then how do we break the seal?" everyone echoed.

The Shadow Lord stood up and slowly formed seals with his hands in front of him. A map emitting a faint glow appeared out of thin air on the stone table, clearly marking the locations of the seals of the human and demon worlds as well as the surrounding terrain.

He pointed his finger at an area covered in mist on the map and said, "This place is called 'Shattered Star Abyss', and it is one of the weak points of the seal. Legend has it that under certain astrological conditions, the power of the seal will weaken. In three days, there will be a celestial phenomenon called 'Seven Stars in a Conjunction' that only occurs once every hundred years, and the power of the seal will be reduced to the lowest. We only need to set up the 'Erosion Spirit Breaking Realm Array' in Shattered Star Abyss to break the seal in one fell swoop."

"My Lord, setting up the 'Soul Erosion Breaking World Array' requires a large amount of rare materials, among which 'Netherworld Ghost Crystal' and 'Demon Blood Jade' are the most critical. I'm afraid our current reserves are not enough." A man in a black robe looked embarrassed.

A fierce light flashed in the eyes of the Shadow Lord, "Collect them at all costs! Send your capable subordinates to sneak into the major ruins and the demon world. If you encounter any obstacles, kill them without mercy!"

"Yes! My Lord." The man in black robe took the order and left.

The Shadow Lord looked at the other black-robed man and ordered, "You lead a group of people to disrupt the Wei Dynasty's defenses, create chaos, and lure away Fang Yue and his men. Remember, you must keep them busy and have no time to consider our real purpose."

"Yes, my lord!" The man in black robe also left quickly.

A few days later, all preparations were completed. When the "Seven Stars in a Row" astronomical phenomenon was about to appear, the Shadow Lord personally led the elite members of the Demon Shadow Society and quietly came to the Shattered Star Abyss.

There was an air of decay in the Broken Star Abyss, and it was surrounded by rugged rocks, with strange lights flashing from time to time.

The Shadow Lord stood on a huge rock at the bottom of the abyss, holding a piece of "Demon Blood Jade" emitting a strange red light in his hand, muttering to himself.

Other men in black robes placed materials such as "Netherworld Ghost Crystals" at key positions of the formation according to specific directions.

With the appearance of the "Seven Stars in a Row" astronomical phenomenon, seven stars in the sky are connected in a line, exuding a mysterious and powerful force.

This power seemed to resonate with the Shattered Star Abyss. The seals between the human and demon worlds began to tremble slightly, emitting an unstable light.

"Now, activate the formation!" The Shadow Lord shouted and slammed the "Demon Spirit Blood Jade" into the ground.

Instantly, black runes spread out from the blood jade, echoing with the surrounding "ghost crystals of the netherworld", and the entire Broken Star Abyss was shrouded in the power of darkness. Under the impact of the dark power, the seals of the human and demon worlds began to crack, and black mist continued to pour out of the cracks. It was the power of the demon tide that was ready to move.

At this time, Fang Yue received urgent news from the Wei defense line that the Demon Shadow Society would launch attacks in many places and the border defense line was in danger.

Fang Yue immediately led the expedition team to provide support.

However, during the battle, Fang Yue always felt that there was something wrong with the attacks of the Demon Shadow Society. It seemed that they did not really want to break through the defense line, but were deliberately delaying time.

"Oh no, we might have fallen into a trap! The real purpose of the Demon Shadow Society is not here."

Fang Yue was shocked, and he immediately realized that the Demon Shadow Society might have other conspiracy.

"Then what is their real purpose, Mr. Fang?" a team member asked anxiously.

Fang Yue pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of the previous information about the Demon Shadow Society, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"The seal of the human and demon worlds! They are probably planning to destroy the seal of the human and demon worlds while we are pinned down here. Let's go!"

Fang Yue led the expedition team and rushed towards the seal between the human and demon worlds as quickly as possible.

When they arrived at the Shattered Star Abyss, the "Soul Erosion and Boundary Breaking Array" was almost completed. The cracks in the seal between the human and demon worlds were getting bigger and bigger, and the power of the demon tide was about to break through the seal like a surging tide.

"You evil people, how dare you break the seal here!" Fang Yue roared, holding a long sword, and rushed towards the people of the Demon Shadow Society like a flash of lightning.

When the Shadow Lord saw Fang Yue coming, a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Fang Yue, you are still a step too late. Today, the seal between the human and demon worlds will be broken, and the demonic tide will devour everything. None of you can stop it!"

"I will never let your conspiracy succeed!" Fang Yue roared, and displayed the strongest move of "Heaven and Earth Return to One Sword Technique".

His sword shone brightly, and the sword energy was overwhelming, sweeping towards the members of the Demon Shadow Society like a violent storm.

Members of the Demon Shadow Society cast dark spells and engaged in a fierce battle with Fang Yue and others.

For a moment, the shouts and cries in the Shattered Star Abyss were deafening.

In the fierce battle, Fang Yue's attack was fierce, as if he was in an empty space, and he instantly forced back several members of the Demon Shadow Society around him.

However, the members of the Demonic Shadow Society were no ordinary people. They quickly adjusted their strategy and formed a dark formation with the Shadow Lord as the core, trying to trap Fang Yue and others inside.

The Shadow Lord stood in the center of the formation, quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something.

As he moved, black tentacles emerged from the dark formation, like ferocious devil's arms, grabbing towards Fang Yue and others.

These tentacles are not only extremely powerful, but also contain corrosive power. Wherever they pass, deep scars are corroded on the ground.

"Everyone be careful, these tentacles are weird!"

Fang Yue reminded the team members loudly, and at the same time, he quickly waved the sword in his hand, cutting off the approaching tentacles one by one. But the tentacles kept pouring out, making it difficult to cope.

The members of the expedition team also cast spells and fought a desperate battle with the black tentacles.

Some team members released fire spells in an attempt to ignite the tentacles; others used frost power to freeze the tentacles and temporarily stop their attacks.

However, these attacks can only provide a short-term delay and cannot fundamentally break the dark formation.

Just when everyone was engaged in a tough battle, Fang Yue keenly sensed that the energy fluctuations of the dark formation were concentrated on the Shadow Lord.

As long as the Shadow Lord is defeated, this formation will naturally collapse.

"You hold back the other enemies, I will deal with the Shadow Lord!" Fang Yue gave an order and rushed towards the Shadow Lord like lightning.

When the Shadow Lord saw Fang Yue rushing towards him, a sneer appeared on his face.

"Fang Yue, do you think you can break through my formation easily? Today is the day you die!" After saying that, he condensed a ball of thick black energy in his hands and blasted it towards Fang Yue.

This ball of black energy contained a powerful dark force, and wherever it went, the space seemed to be distorted.

Fang Yue did not dare to be careless. He mobilized all the energy in his body and injected it into the sword.

The long sword suddenly shone brightly, emitting a sense of righteousness.

A bright sword light burst out from the sword, and with an unstoppable momentum, it rushed straight towards the ball of black energy.

“Boom!” The loud noise produced by the collision of the two powerful forces was like the collapse of heaven and earth, shaking the ground of Shattered Star Abyss so much that it began to tremble violently.

The shock wave spread in all directions with overwhelming force, shattering the surrounding rocks and turning them into powder that floated in the air.

Under this impact, Fang Yue and Shadow Lord each took several steps back.

Fang Yue steadied his body. Two deep footprints had been left on the ground beneath his feet.

His clothes rustled and his eyes revealed an unwavering determination.

After the Shadow Lord stabilized his body, his eyes were full of pride.

This Fang Yue was indeed the only grandmaster in the past thousand years, and his strength had surpassed everyone he had met before.

Even if he himself had the power of the magic tide, he would still be no match for this man.

However, the key to this battle is not here.

"Haha, Fang Yue, you are the strongest person in history. I am not your opponent, but you are the loser today."

"The seals between the human world and the demon world have already been broken in two places. With this one today, there is no room for maneuver."

At this moment, a shocking explosion suddenly sounded in the Shattered Star Abyss, and the powerful impact force swept around like a surging wave.

At this time, the heaven and earth, which were originally one, were in harmony.

A pitch-black crack slowly emerged in the void, as if it was an unhealable wound between heaven and earth, continuously emitting a chilling dark aura.

In the crack, the power of the demonic tide surged like a raging black torrent, surging wildly, as if it was going to drag the entire world into an endless dark abyss. (End of this chapter)
