Chapter 402: Breaking the Formation and Slaying the Soul

The light in the underground palace was like silver waves, filling the three-meter space below, forming a clear distinction between light and darkness above. Wave after wave of scorching heat hit Cen Kan, who had his eyes closed, like a tide.

There were three ferocious statues about ten feet tall, with eyes wide open and weapons in hand, marching towards them in a triangular shape.

The intense heat and bright light have no effect on them, they are dead puppets.

In the darkness above, a huge eye made of mist was spinning, revealing a cold and ruthless look.

"If you don't know your own limits, you'll end up in trouble!"

A faint voice came from the air, filled with a hint of mockery.

The new black battle suit on Cen Kan has a dark golden color and can resist spells of the same level and high temperature.

A blood-colored jade plate hung around his waist, flickering a faint red light. As a physical cultivator, his soul protection was weak, so he spent a lot of money to create a "Blood Soul Bodyguard" so that he had the means to resist the attacks of the sixth-level soul techniques.

The painful feeling he had felt when he was imprisoned in the forbidden area last time was enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life.

He is a physical cultivator who crawled out of life and death, and sea of ​​blood step by step. He has experienced more than 1,500 years of ups and downs. Even when he is in a desperate situation, he can still inspire his full will and fighting spirit.

Life and death are bearish, if you don't agree, just do it.

Determining the position by listening to the sound is the most basic skill for physical cultivation. Even with the influence of light and high temperature, the environment is extremely unfavorable to him. Cen Kan captures the subtle movements coming towards him with absolute concentration. His body is slightly bent like a taut hunting bow, the thin axe in his hand is tilted upwards, and his feet twist outwards to change subtle angles.

A two-meter-long spear pierced the chest from the left with a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The statue in the middle held two hammers and smashed towards the opposite side in a "thunder style", while the statue hiding behind on the right was ready to strike with a long sword.

Cen Kan used the axe blade to accurately strike the tip of the spear and used the force to soar into the air.

"Dangdang" two sounds of collision between the thin axe and the double hammers rang out. His body was like an afterimage, changing directions in the air with agility that was disproportionate to his size.

In the blink of an eye, he rushed to the statue on the left, looked down from above, and chopped it down cleanly and neatly with the axe blade as fast as lightning.

The sixth-level physical cultivator unleashed a terrifying brute force, and managed to find a weak gap to chop off the statue's head that was unable to move, but he also paid a price for taking the risk.

He twisted his body to avoid the sword's thrust, but could not avoid the hammer's blow.

At the critical moment, he used up all the energy of the soul-replenishing talisman, in exchange for a burst of magic power. His whole body was shining with brilliance, and the dark golden light gathered towards the hammering position in order to dissolve and resist the attack.

"Bang!" Cen Kan was hit by the hammer and his blood surged. He felt dizzy and fell heavily to the ground, rolling dozens of feet away.

The sixth-level soul puppet hidden in his sleeve quickly took out a soul-replenishing talisman and slapped it on the big guy who was unable to continue.

Before Xu Yuanchang entered the magic mirror space, he specifically sent a message to the soul puppet to tell it to obey Yu Cenkan's orders.

The light once again rippled on Cen Kan's body, replenishing the physical cultivator's precious mana with a mouthful of blood rushing up his throat. He swallowed the blood, still with his eyes closed, feeling the vibration of the ground, slowly regulating his breathing to calm the surging blood and qi, and roughly judging the direction and speed of the two statues running towards him, a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The being in the sky that controlled the statues did not expect him to fight in the first round, so he used an unreasonable price to frantically exchange a statue for damage.

Because he is not afraid of getting hurt, he has the soul puppet to help him, and victory or defeat is often determined by insignificant details.

His goal was clear from the beginning, which was to find a way to destroy the three statues and buy as much time as possible for Uncle Xu.

With his abilities, it is impossible for him to break through the incomprehensible formation.

If I want to escape from this predicament, I can only rely on Uncle Master Xu.

There is a great terror between life and death, which arises from the heart, manifests itself in the body, and is filled with the courage and heroism that stirs the chest.

The process of physical cultivation seeking a breakthrough is always bloody and unstoppable.

"come!"

……

Xu Yuanchang lived on the rooftop of the attic. He spread out books and a stack of white paper, and wrote and drew on the paper with a sharpened elm charcoal stick. Using charcoal to write saves time.

He kept drawing complex array diagrams of different nodes of virtual water and phantom light.

He calculated quickly and eliminated all the options.

He is a formation breaker. He does not need to make sure whether the formation diagram is perfect or not. What he needs to do is to use various conditions to find loopholes.

What I see and what I think in my mind is how to break it at a small cost.

He calculated and drew pictures day and night, and occasionally looked through the contents of the jade slips. Hundreds of manuscript papers were floating on the rooftop. He finally found a formation combination that matched the underground palace. Except for the position of the giant eye in the sky, which could not be calculated yet, the eye of the "Illusionary Illumination and Reality" compound formation was always changing.

He quickly sorted out the formation diagram and figured out two ways to break it. Without caring about striving for perfection, he quickly escaped from the magic mirror space.

He also knew how much time had passed. At a glance, he saw that Cen Kan was covered in scars, his left arm was missing, and blood had stained his black battle suit dark. He still stood with a determined and fierce look on his face, holding his axe, confronting the shadowy phantom in the underground palace.

The evil water energy and the silver flames intertwined like a pot of boiling solution, attacking the staggering sturdy man from all directions.

Xu Yuanchang took the magic mirror in his hand, waved it around, and shouted: "Shatter all the magic evil spirits!"

With the help of sound waves, a trace of the power of the rules of illusion was added through the mirror, sweeping away everything in its path.

Countless illusions in the underground palace collapsed.

Under the flickering light of the flame, looking around, we found that the remaining three statues had disappeared from the pillars.

"Thank you for your hard work. Go and heal your wounds first."

"Cen Kan has accomplished his mission, haha, so satisfying!"

The burly man shook himself a few times and laughed heartily.

He used an arm as the price to get rid of the last statue, fought against the soul magic cast by the giant eye, and fought fiercely with all kinds of things. Finally, he held on until Uncle Xu came out on his own. He became relaxed and almost fell to the ground.

The sixth-level soul puppet that Uncle Master Xu lent him blocked a fierce blow for him, but was annihilated by the scorching heat.

Fortunately, I have not let my uncle down and there is hope of escaping from this predicament.

Losing an arm is nothing to worry about. A sixth-level body cultivator has already been tempered into an energy body, so it is not difficult to recover. It is just a loss of some cultivation energy.

In the life-and-death duel, his energy was highly concentrated, and perhaps because he was in a forbidden environment, he felt a glimpse of the rules of power.

His state of mind has also been greatly improved, which is the biggest gain for him.

Once he gets out, he believes he will be able to find an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Xu Yuanchang put Cen Kan into the space of the Fantasy Fairy Ring and threw him a fifth-grade top-grade healing pill to help Cen Kan recover his cultivation faster.

The evil water spirit and silver flames that were raging in the underground palace quickly subsided, and darkness and silence returned.

The giant eye hovering in the sky knew that these methods could not be used against the Taoist priest. Instead, the Taoist priest would use his treasures to absorb his energy. The loss would outweigh the gain, so it was better to endure and wait for another opportunity to kill him.

"Daoyou Giant Eyes, destroy all the statue puppets on the sixteen jade pillars. You have lost your biggest support for protecting the formation. It is better to open the formation and let us out so that everyone can live in peace." "If you have the ability, you can talk cheaply after you destroy the formation."

There was a vague sound in the air.

Xu Yuanchang chuckled and said, "Once I break the formation, you will have nowhere to hide. It will be too late to regret then."

"I'm waiting for you."

The voice was disdainful and no longer paid attention to any provocations from below.

It seemed that he had made up his mind to trap the seventh-level Taoist priest to death within the formation.

Xu Yuanchang held a fist-sized glowing stone in his hand, walked between the sixteen pillars that had fallen into illusion, found the starting position, measured and calculated the direction of the underground palace with his footsteps, walked and stopped for more than an hour, and finally had a clear idea of ​​the location.

He stood in a gap, took out the magic glass mirror, crushed a captured illusory bead, and threw it into the mirror.

He used his spiritual sense to probe into the damaged seventh layer of the magic mirror, and used the power of his magic rules to integrate the energy of the illusory beads into the damaged nodes bit by bit. He did not need to set up a large formation inside the mirror, and only needed to use his cultivation and rare magic weapon materials to repair it. The difficulty level was incomparable.

After a moment, a smile appeared on Xu Yuanchang's face.

With his knowledge of formations, he succeeded without much effort.

He then boldly continued to tinker with the next node. If he could repair the original seventh-level phantom weapon in his hand while waiting for Cen Kan to recover, his self-defense ability would be greatly enhanced.

The demon soul in the tortoise shell fell into a deep sleep, and he needed to spend a lot of resources to revive it.

There was an eerie silence in the underground palace, and you could hear a pin drop.

Green and golden light were emanating from Xu Yuanchang's body. The seventh-tier precious robe that the sect had customized for him contained a magical power of wood called "Endless Falling Trees". At the critical moment, it could burst out to block an attack from an expert from the Eighth Floor. However, the robe would be scrapped after using it.

Half a month had passed at this stop, and Xu Yuanchang had also used up six illusion beads, repairing half of the damaged nodes in the illusion mirror.

The further he went, the more energy he needed to expend to calculate the location of the next node, thus wasting a lot of time.

He didn't know how to refine weapons, and accidentally used the Illusion Bead to repair them. Otherwise, changing the material would not work.

Seeing Cen Kan jumping around in the space with his broken arm as good as before, he could not help but sigh at the strength of the sixth-level physical cultivator. He used his magic power to release Cen Kan and said in a voice transmission: "Help me protect the law. I need to sacrifice a treasure to break the formation."

Cen Kan held up a thin axe and said in a voice transmission: "Uncle Master, please continue the ritual. I will be watching over the outside."

He stretched out his left hand and handed Xu Yuanchang three invisible illusory beads.

If his uncle had not specifically reminded him, he would have almost missed the invisible loot. He certainly knew such a special material.

Xu Yuanchang took it without hesitation and handed the silver mirror to Cen Kan for safekeeping. He entered the seventh floor of the illusion mirror, flew high in the sky, quickly calculated and sensed the location of the next node, and repaired it with ease. His efficiency was greatly improved and he also reduced errors and waste of the energy of the illusion beads.

Ten days later, the remaining damaged nodes were repaired, and it only cost five illusory beads.

Escaping from the magic mirror, everything outside is calm.

Cen Kan, with traces of a fierce battle still on his body, pointed to the sky and said, "It saw that it couldn't do anything to me, so it hasn't attacked for three days."

Xu Yuanchang nodded slightly, took the small silver mirror, used his spiritual consciousness and magic power to cover the thousands of tiny nodes on the seven layers of the magic mirror, and activated them one by one with the power of rules. Half an hour later, a silver light spread outward with him as the center, and suddenly returned to the magic mirror.

The silver mirror merged into Xu Yuanchang's body and disappeared.

He has completely repaired the seventh-level phantom weapon and refined this treasure.

I finally have a seventh-level weapon in my hand that can be used for attack, defense and formation. I feel more confident in breaking the formation this time.

Cen Kan was in a trance, with countless phantoms before his eyes. The Blood Soul Protector Pendant on his waist burst into a dazzling red light, which soon faded away. He shook his head vigorously to dispel the residual image in front of his eyes and muttered, "Uncle Master, the treasure you refined is so powerful that it almost made me scrap a Blood Soul Pendant."

Xu Yuanchang smiled, took Cen Kan for a walk along the jade pillar, and informed him of the subsequent action plan through voice transmission.

Let Cen Kan wait in front of the starting pillar, and Xu Yuanchang walked around the other pillars seemingly in a disorderly manner. He was carefully calculating the time and the slight changes in the conversion between reality and illusion.

About a quarter of an hour later, he suddenly shouted, "Do it!"

Cen Kan, who was ready to go, swung the axe and chopped at the starting pillar with all his strength.

The transformation from real to virtual happens in just a moment, and can only be broken by force.

"Dang", the pillar that had just materialized was hit by an axe. The huge impact force caused the pillar, which was as thick as a man's embrace, to shatter and then collapse. A crystal "crash" rolled away, shining like jewels.

The ground is filled with sixth-order water crystals and water jade materials.

"Quick, keep going!"

Following Xu Yuanchang's urging, Cen Kan rushed forward and flashed to the designated pillar. With a shout of "chop", he swung the axe without hesitation. "Boom", the jade pillar shattered and collapsed, and the ground was covered with shiny materials again.

The two men worked together seamlessly, one in command and the other in charge of the action.

By the time the giant eye in the sky noticed something was wrong and hastily launched an attack to try to stop it, Cen Kan had already chopped down the third solidified pillar, and the "Illusion and Reality" compound formation was disintegrating downwards at an irreversible pace.

Xu Yuanchang stood guard beside Cen Kan, directing the evil water spirit and silver flame attack controlled by the giant eye to the platform of creation in the bottomless pit. He waved his hand, and the magic mirror emitted rays of light to break the soul attack, preventing the chaos from stopping Cen Kan's destructive actions.

He felt a sense of relief in his heart that he was finally going to pull out the giant eye.

The sixteen jade pillars were completely destroyed by Cen Kan's brute force in less than half an hour.

A dull roar was heard from the sky and underground. Xu Yuanchang looked up and observed, calculating the changes in the darkness silently, ignoring the hysterical roar from the giant eye.

"You...can't escape. The Cloud Hidden Secret Realm...I won't let you open it even if I destroy the passage."

"I have been suppressed in this hellhole for nearly eight thousand years, and all I am missing is a seventh-level soul..."

Xu Yuanchang suddenly used up all his spirit-replenishing talismans, and made a sword gesture with his right index and middle fingers, connecting heaven and earth with a trace of the power of the rules of illusion. At the same time, red and dark flames like swords slashed towards the upper right.

He combined the Illusionary Floating Life Slash and the Yin-Yang Illusion Fire and succeeded in one strike.

"Ow..."

The giant eye hidden in the darkness let out a terrifying scream.

The two-colored flames burned fiercely, and the giant eye that was split in half twisted violently, emitting thick, smelly black smoke.

It never dreamed that how could the Taoist priest find its hiding place so accurately?

There is also a magical power that ignores its refined body and harms its protected soul.
