The Golden Crow Burns the Sky

Chapter 123 Devouring Array, the Emperor's Past

With Xuan Hui's current realm, it is difficult for anything below the level of immortal to escape his discerning eyes.

Even if one has already entered the realm of immortality, it will still be like this.

As for the world evolved from the unknown system formation in front of him, although it was somewhat special, it was obviously not yet in the realm of immortals, let alone beyond the scope of Xuanhui's capabilities.

At the same time, the same is true for the Emperor's Dao patterns. Even though they are extremely mysterious, they are still not a difficult problem in the human realm. Even for Xuan Hui, analyzing these Dao patterns is easier than studying the large formation!

Therefore, it didn't take long for Xuan Hui to fully understand the function of the Emperor's Dao Pattern.

After a not-so-long period of time, Xuanhui finally analyzed the formation that had turned into a small chaotic world.

Of course, the unknown cultivation system was naturally ignored for the time being, but Xuanhui had basically understood the function of the formation.

The final result surprised Xuan Hui.

According to the conclusion reached by Xuan Hui, this formation is by no means a good thing. Its core formation pattern reveals a demonic nature. Xuan Hui even suspects that this formation may have been the source of a bloody catastrophe in the starry sky during a certain mythological period.

However, the role played by the Emperor is still in doubt, and Xuan Hui is unable to confirm it for the time being.

According to Xuan Hui's research, the original function of this formation should be energy absorption and transformation.

This is the essence of the formation that Xuan Hui glimpsed in the core runes of the formation itself. It can absorb the external energy in a very rough way, and then transform it into the absorbable origin of the Tao, and then completely seal it up.

And after Xuan Hui's simple attempt, he found that this method of devouring and transforming was too rough, an act almost like plunder. Once allowed to proceed, with the size of the formation, it would even be enough to bring indiscriminate destruction to the universe and the starry sky.

It also seems that because of the formation system, the devouring effect of this formation is unlimited, including the essence of the origin of life, divine matter, divine power and the essence of the source of heaven and earth, all are within the scope of its devouring.

Therefore, if this kind of formation was really activated in the starry sky with prosperous civilization, it would definitely be enough to cause a bloody disaster. It would not be an exaggeration to call it a small-scale dark turmoil.

Judging from the effectiveness alone, the person who set up the formation was truly ruthless and his methods were extremely cruel.

In addition, according to some clues discovered by Xuanhui, this great formation did not seem to be in the depths of the boundless chaos at first, but was moved here later. As for the specific reason for its move, Xuanhui is not sure yet.

But no matter what the reason, this is not a good sign.

Judging from the method used by the person who set up the formation to infer his thoughts, it is not difficult to think that this formation was set up for a certain existence, and the purpose is to devour billions and achieve one.

As for those billions, whether it is pure energy or something else, it doesn’t seem to matter.

After speculating this possibility, even Xuan Hui felt a little annoyed.

Naturally, he is not like the several human emperors in ancient times who took the lives of the people as their responsibility. He has a naturally compassionate heart and is willing to give everything for all living things.

But after all, Xuan Hui is also an emperor who protects the common people, and he has a very natural aversion to such means that are almost like causing unrest in the restricted area.

Therefore, the existence of the formation was also thrown into the enemy camp by Xuanhui. Although the person who set up the formation might not still be in this world, for Xuanhui, he would never allow such a strong man to hide between heaven and earth.

Xuan Hui would certainly be extremely vigilant towards this possible mysterious person, and would not show any mercy once he discovers him!
……

In addition to the effectiveness of the formation itself, the effect of the Emperor's Dao patterns also made Xuan Hui frown.

However, the function of Dao patterns is different from that of the great formation, and it can even be said to be completely opposite.

In Xuan Hui's conclusion, the Emperor's Dao patterns seemed to be a special arrangement targeting certain effects of the formation. It could even be said that these Dao patterns were almost opposing the formation itself.

Even some important nodes of the formation itself were torn apart because these two forces kept colliding with each other!
However, after further research by Xuan Hui, he discovered that the targeting of Emperor's Dao Pattern was very limited. It was not an all-round destruction, nor was it a ban or complete suppression, but it was only targeted at some special nodes.

Even though Xuan Hui had not yet fully understood the function of these nodes, he had a vague feeling that the Emperor's arrangement did not seem to directly destroy the formation or interfere with its operation, but more like a functional restriction.

This realization made Xuan Hui frown.

After all, normally, as long as an enlightened person encounters this kind of formation before falling into depravity in old age, he should not show any leniency towards it. It is normal to use extreme means to completely wipe out the formation.

At the very least, even if the Emperor was curious about the system displayed by the formation itself, he should not have kept this formation forever, or even hidden it in the chaos.

For most people, it is closer to normal thinking to destroy the system after comprehending it.

Unless, this formation has other uses.

For example, the person who encounters the formation has problems himself, and he has a strong interest in such a large formation, and even likes certain characteristics of the formation!

This was not Xuan Hui's groundless speculation, nor was he prejudiced against the Emperor. It was just that the Emperor had a lot of criminal records, and the formation patterns that refined the universe still stretched across the starry sky!
Moreover, Xuan Hui also remembered a rumor about Emperor Zun——

As the last emperor among the nine great celestial masters, he cut off all his past affairs in the later years of his first life, transformed into an immortal and started anew. Later, in his second life, he attained enlightenment, established the Heavenly Court in the starry sky, and became invincible in the universe.

In his second life, when the Emperor was born again from the immortal womb, his physique was too strong. Therefore, the Emperor almost sucked half of the universe dry, using endless essence of heaven and earth to finally achieve his own invincible Tao foundation.

In the past, Xuan Hui had never paid too much attention to these rumors, but when he saw this formation today, he couldn't help but think of this legend.

And Xuan Hui knows better than most that this is not a legend but reality.

Just like "The Emperor sent troops to the heavens to search for major sources of life, just to pull up the ancient dragon veins and create Kunlun as a place for immortals" is not a rumor among ancient races, but true history.

The Emperor himself was far from being as great and glorious as he was portrayed to be by later generations!

Thinking of this, Xuan Hui couldn't help but be silent for a moment.

Perhaps, because of today's accident, he has inadvertently lifted a corner of the fog of time and witnessed the truth of a certain period of time.

But the truth is always cold and cruel, without any warmth or tenderness. Once it is revealed, what lies underneath is probably just bloodstains that have yet to heal!
