Honghuang: Fire De Huaguang, I am the Horse King of Human Education

However, just as the thought arose in his mind, and his divine sense spread out, attempting to analyze the laws governing this chaotic world—

The blue lotus beneath his feet trembled violently without warning! The seemingly calm chaotic energy flow beneath the lotus platform suddenly collapsed!
A miniature black hole, condensed from pure laws of destruction and radiating endless devouring power, was instantly created!
Inside the black hole is not nothingness, but another fiery world with completely different laws, filled with the smell of lava and sulfur!

An overwhelming suction force descended instantly! The light on the blue lotus beneath Daoist Duobao's feet dimmed instantly, and the protective aura around his body shattered inch by inch!

Before he could even react, he and the protective lotus were swallowed whole by the suddenly opened entrance to the world of flames!
The figure vanished instantly into the churning chaotic air currents!

Outside the great formation, in front of the gate of the Shang army camp.

Zhao Gongming, Jinling Shengmu, Shen Gongbao and other Jiejiao immortals, as well as Huaguang, Kong Xuan, Chi You and others, all had their expressions change drastically!

They clearly saw that the oppressive force of the chaotic array domain that enveloped the heavens and earth suddenly increased by several levels after Xuandu activated the Taiqing Divine Talisman!
On the surface of the array, the chaotic airflow solidified like a crystal wall, and the microscopic worlds were created and destroyed like lightning, exuding a terrifying aura of destruction!
The aura of Daoist Duobao vanished completely after the array domain experienced a violent fluctuation! It was as if he had been completely swallowed up by the chaos!
"Brother!"

Zhao Gongming's eyes were bloodshot, his golden whip hummed, and his body was filled with a frenzied surge of wealth and malevolent energy.

"You old bastard Xuandu! How dare you injure my senior brother! I will surely raze this formation to the ground!"

He took a step forward, ready to charge into the formation regardless of everything!
"Junior Brother Gongming! Calm down!"

The Golden Spirit Mother's clear, cold voice carried an undeniable majesty, and a gentle yet resilient golden light instantly blocked Zhao Gongming's path.

“Brother Duobao is a highly skilled cultivator; how could he perish so easily? This formation is extremely dangerous right now. Rushing in rashly will not only fail to save him but will also trap us in a desperate situation! We must wait and see how things unfold. I believe that Brother Duobao will be able to break through the formation!”

Golden Spirit Mother gazed calmly into the depths of the chaotic array domain. Though there was worry in her eyes, there was also absolute confidence in Daoist Duobao.

She knew that this senior brother's strength was far beyond what a mere formation could trap and kill!

Thick, dark clouds hung over Xiqi City.

Zhunti Daoist sat cross-legged on auspicious clouds, his gaze piercing through the void as he stared intently at the Two Elements Dust Array below, its power surging. The compassionate smile on his face had vanished, replaced by an undisguised solemnity and... apprehension!
"Evolving the world, forming its own universe... What a fine Senior Brother Taiqing!"

Zhunti was secretly alarmed.

"This formation is actually used as a foundation to activate the essence of the Taiqing Divine Talisman and simulate the operation of the primordial world! This is no ordinary formation, but... a nascent small world! Duobao is trapped inside, as if he has been exiled to another primordial world. Without the power to break through the boundary, he will be in great danger!"

His fear of Lao Tzu deepened even further. Such methods had already subtly touched upon the secrets of creation!

While Western religions may have wonderful methods, they are far inferior to human religions in terms of the evolution of the world!

"Master, this formation... seems even more profound than the Western Bodhi Formation you mentioned before?"

Looking down at the chaotic array below that exuded an aura of world destruction, Lu Ya couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Although he was unfamiliar with formations, he could still sense their terrifying power.

Upon hearing this, Master Zhunti's face instantly regained its compassionate and peaceful expression, and he smiled slightly.

"Amitabha. Disciple Lu Ya, the art of array formations varies in its merits. My Western Bodhi Great Array, based on the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, evolves into the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, guiding sentient beings and liberating them from suffering. It is a supreme and compassionate Dharma gate."
"Brother Qing's formation, though it manifests a world, focuses primarily on killing and trapping the enemy, its violent nature is excessive and contradicts our Western doctrines. Which is superior is a matter of personal judgment."

He casually steered the conversation toward doctrine, cleverly concealing his own shortcomings in array formation skills, while also highlighting the "compassion" of the Western religion.

The walls of Xiqi City.

Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, and other Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect looked at the great formation whose power was surging and which even swallowed up Duobao Daoist, and their faces were filled with wild joy!

"Hahaha! Excellent! What a magnificent Yin-Yang Dust Array! Senior Brother Xuandu's supernatural powers are boundless!"

Guang Chengzi clapped his hands and laughed, his eyes full of joy.

"That scoundrel Duobao is arrogant and conceited, relying on his profound cultivation! Now that he's trapped in this formation, let's see how cocky he can be! Once this formation is activated, he'll be annihilated, body and soul, reduced to ashes!"

"Indeed! This is the will of Heaven! The Jie Sect has defied Heaven, and thus deserves this calamity!"

Chi Jingzi chuckled sinisterly.

"Once Duobao is executed, the remaining members of the Jie Sect will be no threat! They will surely have a place on the Investiture of the Gods!"

Ju Liusun, Daoxing Tianzun, and others echoed his sentiments, their words filled with schadenfreude and deep-seated hatred for the Jie Sect.

Jiang Ziya stood aside, looking at the terrifying chaotic array domain, then at the Jie Sect immortals who were waiting in full battle formation below the city. He frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said.

"Fellow disciples, Senior Brother Xuandu is presiding over the grand formation, which must be extremely taxing on him. Should we lend him a hand? Or perhaps we could send disciples into the formation to harass the remnants of the Jie Sect, preventing them from attending to both ends?"

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi glanced coldly at Jiang Ziya, his eyes filled with undisguised contempt.

"Junior Brother Ziya, your cultivation is still shallow, and you do not understand the mysteries of this formation. This formation has already formed the prototype of a world. Anyone who does not have the cultivation of a Great Luo Golden Immortal or above will die if they enter the formation!"

As for Senior Brother Xuandu… he is a direct disciple of Grandmaster Taiqing, wielding the Taiqing Divine Talisman, and possesses boundless magical power. Why would he need our help? You only need to keep a close watch on the defenses of Xiqi City and prevent those mortal soldiers from throwing you into disarray!”

Jiang Ziya was publicly reprimanded by Guang Chengzi. His face turned pale and then red. He was filled with shame and indignation, but he dared not refute. He could only retreat silently, with an imperceptible gloom in his eyes.

At the gate of the Shang army camp.

Hua Guang, Kong Xuan, Chi You, and others were discussing countermeasures with Zhao Gongming, Jinling Shengmu, and others when a figure quietly walked out from the Jiejiao camp and came to Hua Guang.

This person was short and stout, with a kind face and unusually long ears. He wore a humble and respectful smile and was none other than the Long-Eared Dingguang Immortal, one of the Seven Immortals who served the Jie Sect.

"This humble Taoist priest with long ears pays respects to His Majesty the Human Emperor!"

Chang Er Ding Guang Xian bowed respectfully to Hua Guang, his voice gentle.

"Your Majesty, I observe that this formation is extremely dangerous. Although Senior Brother Duobao is highly skilled, it may be inconvenient for him to enter the formation alone. I am unworthy to offer my services, but I would like to lead a few fellow disciples into the formation to support him. I humbly request Your Majesty's permission."

Hua Guang looked at the smiling, long-eared Dingguang Xian in front of him, but his heart was in turmoil!

He clearly remembered that in the original "Heavenly Secrets" trajectory, it was this person who betrayed the Jie Sect and stole the Six Soul Banner at the crucial moment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, causing the Jie Sect to suffer a great defeat! He was one of the culprits who caused the fall of the ten thousand immortals of the Jie Sect!

At this moment, this person volunteered to enter the battle. Was he genuinely concerned for Duobao's safety? Or... did he have ulterior motives? Was he planning to take advantage of the situation to sabotage the formation? Or... was he a pawn planted by the Western Sect?

Alarm bells rang loudly in Hua Guang's mind!

He almost blurted out the words, exposing the man's true colors! However, he swallowed the words back down his throat.
evidence!

He has no evidence! How can he convince people with just that vague and ethereal memory of "heavenly secrets"? The disciples of the Jie Sect value loyalty and camaraderie above all else, and the bonds between fellow disciples are very strong.

If he were to accuse Chang Er Ding Guang Xian of being a traitor without any evidence at this moment, not only would no one believe him, but he would also be seen as sowing discord and maliciously slandering him! It might even anger the immortals of the Jie Sect and destroy the fragile alliance between the Shang Dynasty and the Jie Sect!

Hua Guang's gaze swept over the Jie Sect disciples behind Chang Er Ding Guang Xian who had also volunteered for battle, and then looked at Zhao Gongming, Jin Ling Shengmu, and others.

Zhao Gongming frowned slightly, seemingly disagreeing with Chang Er Ding Guangxian's suggestion, but out of consideration for their shared sect, he did not directly object.

The Golden Spirit Mother remained expressionless, revealing neither joy nor anger. Hua Guang's mind raced, but he ultimately suppressed his surging killing intent and the urge to expose her, forcing a smile onto his face.

"Fellow Daoist Dingguang is truly righteous! I am also concerned about Fellow Daoist Duobao's safety. However, this formation is extremely dangerous and unpredictable. I appreciate your concern, but the matter of breaking the formation requires careful consideration. Entering the formation rashly would not be a wise move. Perhaps we should wait for Fellow Daoist Duobao to send back a message before making a decision?"

He chose to remain patient for the time being.

We must not alert the enemy before we have solid evidence! We must not risk damaging our alliance with the Jie Sect for short-term gains!

As for Chang Er Ding Guangxian… he must be kept under close surveillance! We absolutely cannot let him ruin things at this crucial moment!
The atmosphere in front of the Shang army camp was as heavy as iron.

Hua Guang's gaze swept over the three female immortals beside Zhao Gongming, each with a different temperament but all of them being peerless in beauty—Yunxiao was as calm as an abyss, Qiongxiao was as lively as water, and Bixiao was as sharp as a blade. They were none other than the Three Immortal Maidens of the Jie Sect!

A thought stirred within him: the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation set up by the three sisters in the "Heavenly Secrets" had caused the Chan Sect a great deal of trouble.

However, when his gaze swept over the smiling, long-eared Dingguangxian beside him, a chilling killing intent almost burst out of his chest!

Traitor! It was this traitor who delivered the fatal blow to the Jie Sect at the crucial moment of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!
He forcibly suppressed his surging anger.

There is no evidence! Exposing it now will only be seen as sowing discord and will further chill the hearts of the immortals of the Jie Sect!

He could only turn his gaze back to the chaotic and overwhelming Yin-Yang Microcosm Array, silently praying that Daoist Duobao would return safely.

Deep within the Yin-Yang Microcosm Array, laws evolve, and the world is born and dies.

Having just escaped the world of gushing lava and pungent sulfur, the azure lotus light around Daoist Duobao was slightly dimmed.

He waved his hand to dispel the lingering scorching heat, and with a turn of his feet on the green lotus, he was about to search for the core of the array when the surrounding scenery changed drastically once again!
Wow——!
The boundless blue instantly swallowed up the view! The icy, bone-chilling, and heavy seawater pressed in from all directions!

This is no ordinary water, but water imbued with the fundamental principles of primordial heavy water!

Each drop weighs more than ten thousand pounds, carrying the terrifying power to freeze the soul and crush the true spirit!
Even more terrifying, deep within the sea, streaks of eerie blue flames burned silently—the very same Purple Flame of the Supreme Lord Laozi's alchemy furnace! This flame can burn anything and is especially effective against the primordial spirit!
"Water and fire working together? What a brilliant idea!"

Daoist Duobao's eyes narrowed, and the green lotus beneath his feet burst forth with unprecedented green light, firmly resisting the heavy pressure of the Primordial Heavy Water!

However, the all-pervasive purple flames of the Douluo Continent frantically burned his protective immortal light through the gaps in the water flow!

The light from the blue lotus flickered violently, groaning under its unbearable weight!

He was like a mortal trapped in the deep sea mud, struggling to move, and his primordial spirit was in excruciating pain as if it were being burned!
"We can't waste any more time!"

Daoist Duobao felt a great alarm in his heart!

This grand formation evolves into an endless world. If one is trapped here and wasted away, even with extraordinary abilities, there will eventually be a time when one's strength is exhausted! The formation must be broken! Go straight for the core!

His eyes were filled with determination! His hands suddenly formed a hand seal, and his aura instantly became incomparably sharp!

A terrifying sword intent, seemingly capable of severing cause and effect and annihilating all laws, suddenly erupted!

"Azure Lotus Sword Intent! Break Through Boundaries!"

A sword light, condensed to its extreme, entirely emerald green, seemingly formed from the purest life essence and the will to destroy, shot out from between his brows!

Wherever the sword light passed, the Primordial Heavy Water was forcibly pushed aside, and the Tushita Purple Flame was silently annihilated!
Space is torn apart!
The sword light, carrying an unwavering determination, ignored the barriers of the water and fire worlds and pierced straight into the Taiqing Divine Talisman deep within the array domain, which emitted chaotic divine light!
"Hmph! Don't even think about it!"

The cold voice of Grand Master Xuandu echoed within the array!

The swirling energy gathered wildly, transforming into a gigantic, chaotic hand that blotted out the sky, fiercely grabbing at the ethereal sword light!
However, a cold smile curled at the corner of Duobao Daoist's mouth!

"The Four Swords of Immortal Slaughter! Slaughter!"

He changed his hand seals again!

Four terrifying sword lights, completely different yet equally imbued with a world-destroying and ferocious aura, instantly coalesced behind him!

A sword strike of unparalleled sharpness, tearing through space!

A single sword strike, heavy as a mountain, suppresses all laws!

A single, unpredictable sword strike devours life!

One sword can destroy all things and end everything!
The four sword lights were not physical entities, but were formed from the original sword energy of the Zhuxian Sword Formation bestowed by the Tongtian Sect Master!
The moment they appeared, the entire array trembled! The world of water and fire collapsed instantly! The chaotic energy retreated frantically!
call out!call out!call out!call out!
The four sword lights arrived first, instantly bypassing the chaotic giant hand that was grabbing Qingping's sword intent. Ignoring all spatial barriers, they carried the supreme will to slay immortals and destroy gods, and fiercely struck the Taiqing Divine Talisman that was floating at the core of the array and exuding vast holy power!

"Do not--!"

Grand Master Xuandu let out a roar filled with shock and rage!

He never expected that Duobao could actually draw upon the primordial sword energy of the Four Swords of Zhuxian! Even more unexpected was the opponent's clear and resolute objective!

A crisp cracking sound, like the collapse of heaven and earth!

Under the crushing force of the four world-destroying sword energies, the Taiqing Divine Talisman, which carried the power of the sage Laozi and suppressed the entire formation, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks on its surface! Then, it exploded with a bang!
They transformed into countless chaotic points of light, vanishing without a trace!

Without the core suppression, the entire Yin-Yang Micro Dust Array emitted a deafening wail!
Chaotic energy spiraled out of control! The microscopic world was utterly destroyed! Space itself crumbled inch by inch!

The laws governing the evolution of the world instantly became disordered and collapsed!
"break!"

Duobao Daoist's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

He pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed fiercely at the collapsing array barrier!
A massive spatial rift spanning the heavens and earth instantly tore through the chaos!

The light and energy from the outside world surged in!

"go!"

The figure of Grand Master Xuandu appeared in a disheveled state amidst the collapsing array, his face deathly pale and his eyes filled with horror!
Without even glancing at the Shouyang Mountain sword cultivators wailing in the formation and severely injured by the out-of-control power of the laws, he transformed into a streak of light, instantly bursting out of the crack and fleeing for his life towards Xiqi City without looking back!
The grand formation collapsed completely! The swirling mist dissipated, and the chaotic storm subsided. The sky reappeared, and the earth was revealed.

However, the wilderness outside Xiqi City was in complete disarray!
Dozens of sword cultivators from Shouyang Mountain fell from the sky, all of them weak and bloodied, their Dao foundations damaged. They had clearly suffered heavy injuries in the collapse of the great formation just now!

Daoist Duobao stepped out of the collapsing array field, his feet resting on a blue lotus, his robes fluttering, his aura as deep as the sea.

His gaze swept over the heavily wounded and dying sword cultivators, his brows furrowing slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, a gentle force swept them all up and carried them to a safe area far from the battlefield.

Then, he slowly raised his head, his gaze like two cold, sharp swords, instantly locking onto the horrified figures on the top of Xiqi City—Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Ju Liusun, and the other eleven Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect!

A vast and boundless, terrifying pressure, seemingly capable of crushing the heavens, erupted from Daoist Duobao like an ancient ferocious beast awakening!
The overwhelming aura of a Quasi-Saint at the peak was released without reservation! The heavens and earth paled in comparison! The winds and clouds swirled in disarray!

"Hiroyukiko!"

The voice of Daoist Duobao was like a thunderclap from the heavens, carrying a chilling coldness and overwhelming killing intent, resounding throughout the entire Xiqi battlefield.

"You, the Chan Sect, have deceived the disciples of my Jie Sect and disgraced our Jie Sect's lineage! Today, I, on behalf of my master, will demand...repay this blood debt from you!" (End of Chapter)
