Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1459 Fire Dragon Devouring Heaven Formation

After Liu Changxu led the Liu family's expeditionary force to capture Fireland Island, he knew that the Azure Dragon Clan would not let the matter rest and that retaliation could come at any moment. He dared not slacken his efforts and immediately ordered all his soldiers to devote themselves to setting up the island's protective array and the super teleportation array.

However, Tierra del Fuego is vast, far exceeding the size of ordinary islands, almost equivalent to a small continent, which greatly hindered the deployment of the island's protective formation.

Because the island is so vast, the selection of the array base, the activation of the spiritual veins, and the connection of the nodes have become extremely complex. It would take more than a decade to complete the layout of the Fireland Island protective array.

After surveying the entire Fireland Island, Liu Changxu finally made a decision: to temporarily set aside the large-scale array deployment across the entire island and instead focus on setting up a smaller-scale, mid-grade ninth-rank Fire Dragon Devouring Array, centered around the Fire Dragon Mountain, a mid-grade ninth-rank spiritual vein.

Fire Dragon Mountain is the super volcano where the Dragon Palace Secret Realm of the Ninth-Order Fire Dragon is located, and it is also the location of the Ninth-Order Mid-Grade Fire-type Spirit Vein.

Therefore, the Fire Dragon Devouring Heaven Formation, which is based on the ninth-grade mid-level spiritual vein of Fire Dragon Mountain, possesses extremely terrifying offensive and defensive capabilities and has a natural restraint on aquatic monsters, making it sufficient to cope with the possible initial impact.

Upon receiving the order, the 300,000 expeditionary soldiers immediately sprang into action, each fulfilling their assigned duties and methodically engaging in the formation of the great battle array.

The soldiers responsible for surveying the terrain and ley lines, armed with specially crafted spirit jade compasses, ventured deep into the mountains and ravines of Fireland Island, meticulously examining the direction of each ley line and the nodes of spiritual energy. They recorded their findings on jade slips, providing the most fundamental basis for the precise deployment of the grand formation; every step was rigorously executed, allowing no room for error.

On the other side, the weapon refiners and array masters responsible for crafting the array-setting tools were working at a feverish pace. Flames roared within the furnaces, high-grade spiritual metals melting into liquid under the intense heat. Craftsmen, wielding carving knives, focused intently on carving array patterns onto the raw materials. As the spiritual fire pulsed, array plates and flags imbued with pure spiritual energy gradually took shape, runes shimmering with a ghostly light flowing across their surfaces, seemingly pulsating with life.

The soldiers responsible for setting up the equipment then precisely embedded the refined array plates, array flags, and other array-setting equipment into the corresponding earth vein nodes according to the array diagram.

Meanwhile, inside the Refining Hall of the Ruyi Lotus Palace, firelight and spiritual light intertwined to form a dazzling light curtain. Led by Liu Changxu, a group of top-level weapon refiners and array masters, including his son Liu Fufeng, were gathered here, working together to refine the most crucial ninth-order array-setting tool for the ninth-order Fire Dragon Devouring Heaven Array.

Inside the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron in the center of the main hall, various ninth-grade spiritual gold materials were continuously purified under the fierce burning of the Great Sun True Fire, emitting a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation.

Several weapon refiners stood suspended in mid-air, their fingertips forming intricate array runes, which they carefully imprinted onto the nascent array plate. Each stroke was imbued with their concentration, and the slightest mistake could render all their efforts futile.

Liu Changxu stood beside the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron, his eyes blazing. He would occasionally raise his hand to cast a hand seal, regulating the furnace temperature and the fusion of the spiritual materials. At the same time, he would also occasionally offer a few words of guidance to the others.

With everyone's combined efforts, the array plate inside the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron gradually revealed its complete outline. The purple-gold light flowing around the cauldron became increasingly intense, illuminating the hall brightly.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light shot into the sky from the mouth of the cauldron. The golden light contained a vast amount of fire-attribute energy, and countless runes could be vaguely seen flowing and converging within it, eventually condensing into a palm-sized array plate.

In the center of the array, the phantom of a fire dragon loomed faintly. Its scales and claws were clearly defined, its whiskers fluttering, each scale seemingly forged from solidified flames, gleaming with a scorching crimson luster. Its gaping maw seemed poised to swallow the heavens and earth, and the oppressive aura emanating from its body spread out like a tangible force, causing the air within the hall to stagnate. It was the terrifying aura of a ninth-tier being, carrying the domineering power to scorch mountains and boil seas. "It's done!"

Liu Fufeng let out a low exclamation first, and a smile finally appeared on his tense face.

Liu Changxu raised his hand, and the array plate landed steadily in his palm. It was warm to the touch, and the spiritual energy flowing on it was thick and condensed, faintly resonating with the earth's energy of Fire Dragon Mountain.

He examined it carefully for a moment, then nodded and said:
"The core array plate is complete. Next, we can draw the spiritual veins into the array."

Everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, their weariness dispelled by the joy of success, and their eyes were filled with anticipation as they looked at the array plate.

Because of the time constraint, Liu Changxu did not rest and quickly left the weapon refining hall with the array plate in his hand.

Because of the urgency, Liu Changxu did not rest for a moment and left the weapon refining hall with the array plate in his hand.

When he reappeared, he was already standing above Fire Dragon Mountain, with the crater of the volcano churning with heat waves beneath his feet. With a flick of his wrist, the array plate, which embodied the hard work of everyone, transformed into a stream of light and fell precisely into the depths of the crater.

In an instant, the once calm crater trembled violently, as if awakened by a primordial beast! Crimson magma surged and roared like boiling waves, and countless pillars of fire spewed from the crater, piercing the sky; a muffled rumble came from the ground, as if billions of fire dragons were awakening in the depths, soaring into the sky with a world-destroying force.

The location where the array plate landed erupted with brilliant golden light, instantly connecting with the spiritual veins of the entire Fire Dragon Mountain. Countless runes emerged from the ground, spreading along the mountainside, linking the crater with the surrounding array flags and array plates into a giant flame totem.

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding anything seen before, spread out from the crater, shattering even the clouds in the sky. At this moment, all the fire-elemental spiritual energy on the entire Fireland Island converged wildly, rushing towards the awakened "giant beast."

Immediately afterwards, a pale red spiritual energy shield slowly spread out like a celestial curtain, enveloping the area within a hundred thousand miles around Fire Dragon Mountain. This shield appeared as thin as a cicada's wing, yet its flowing halo carried scorching heat waves, even causing the void to distort slightly from the heat.

Above the light shield, countless tiny flame runes flickered incessantly, as if millions of tiny flames were burning within. Occasionally, a few low-level demonic beasts, unaware of the shield's power, would attempt to approach, but the moment they touched the edge, they were reduced to charred remains with a piercing scream—beneath that seemingly gentle red light lay a terrifyingly high temperature capable of incinerating everything; this was the outermost defensive force of the Fire Dragon Devouring Heaven Formation.

Inside the array, the magma in the crater was still churning, and the golden light emanating from the core array plate echoed the light shield, continuously injecting the gathered fire-type spiritual power into it.

Liu Changxu stood in mid-air, gazing at the pale red light barrier that stretched across the sky and earth, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes:
"This formation is newly formed. Although it has not yet been able to unleash its full power, it can still hold out for a while."

The expeditionary soldiers on the island, after experiencing the terrifying power of the great formation, showed expressions of excitement. With the formation protecting them, their confidence grew even stronger.
