The Eternal Calamity of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 279 Fatty Cao's "tiger body" trembled

boom!
An irresistible force surged forth, engulfing the entire sky.

The Heaven-Sealing, Earth-Locking, Corpse-Refining Array is activated!
Amidst the shimmering dark light, specks of blood boiled, creating a magnificent spectacle.

This is a vast and powerful array, with countless array flags placed in the void as its control hub, connecting the great power of the nine heavens and ten earths, endlessly generating life. If combined with the Scripture of Salvation, it can eradicate any corpse calamity.

"Are you crazy? You little brat, who taught you to activate the corpse refining array like that?"

Zhao Yuanxing was awakened by the commotion and stared blankly at the crazy scene before him.

“Senior Zhao, now is not the time for you to interrupt.” Wu Geng stared intently, then casually pointed a finger, immediately causing the old Taoist priest to fall unconscious again.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xiaoyao frowned, his heart trembling.

The formation master of Guijian Sect was already at a higher level, and now it seems that he has clearly recovered his full strength, while he himself can only barely exert the combat power of a saint.

Given this ebb and flow, how can we escape this predicament?

"Let me guess, you're probably thinking that your strength is limited, yet you've fallen into the hands of my enemy, making you even more like a fish on a chopping board, completely at my mercy," Wu Gen chuckled.

As he spoke, various laws of order intertwined to form beams of destructive light, which he then blasted into the ground, clearly targeting what lay below.

"So what if I am? I admit defeat today. Kill me if you want." Chu Xiaoyao steeled his heart and pretended to be very tough.

"Don't rush, it's easy to want to die. But haven't you ever thought about actively leaving this strange world?" Wu Gen said casually.

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with interest, and he immediately became interested. "What do you mean?"

"It seems like we've traveled through time, returning from the future to the past several decades ago. But in reality, you and I both know very well that this is definitely not the real Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. It has many things that seem real but are not, such as the tomb of Lingbao Tianzun," Wu Gen said.

"And then?" Chu Xiaoyao sneered. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

Wu Gen didn't care and continued, "Since I woke up, I have explored this world repeatedly, but it is too real. I can't find any flaws at all. If there is a mastermind behind it, it must be at least at the level of a Celestial Venerable."

I had already resigned myself to my fate, believing that this was an immense opportunity. With the blessing of memories from the next few decades, I would be able to seize the initiative and claim the position of Heavenly Venerable in this lifetime.

However, the sudden appearance of the patriarch's tomb made me realize that the path to survival in reality is mostly hidden inside the tomb.

The mastermind could have concealed the truth perfectly, yet they revealed such a glaring flaw, clearly intentional. Perhaps, their purpose was to test us.

At this moment, Wu Gen poured out a whole bunch of speculations, and Chu Xiaoyao was the only listener.

"Woooo..."

While the two were talking, the war horn suddenly sounded, like muffled thunder, shaking the mountains and valleys.

Chu Xiaoyao turned his head and saw that in the distance, on the horizon, a series of domain gates opened, and thousands of troops and horses galloped in with immense momentum.

Boom!

Ancient chariots appeared one after another, mythical birds and beasts roared, war weapons roared, and mysterious and ancient battle flags soared into the sky, fluttering in the wind.

They were like thick, dark clouds, linked together, blotting out the sky and spreading a terrifying aura.

"Holy crap, you didn't convince the entire Guijian Sect to mobilize the whole sect to storm their own ancestor's tomb, did you?" Chu Xiaoyao stared wide-eyed, utterly shocked.

Having cultivated for so long, I have rarely seen such a grand scene. Even compared to the Heavenly Venerable's experience of the Sea of ​​Wheels, it is not much different.

It can only be said that, worthy of the Heavenly Venerable lineage, the power displayed on the surface alone is enough to intimidate the entire Xiaoyao Star. However, there is an even more terrifying power hidden in the void. At least, Chu Xiaoyao sensed at least forty or fifty experts at the Saint and Saint King levels.

As for the higher-level experts, that's beyond his comprehension, but he imagines they've all been mobilized.

"After all, it is the ancestor's tomb. How can my strength alone be enough? If it weren't for the circumstances, I would have liked to go to other sources of life to borrow two Supreme Celestial Weapons."

Seeing Chu Xiaoyao's bewildered expression, Wu Gen chuckled and then added, "You don't need to doubt whether my authority is enough to overshadow the sect leader and the elders. In fact, when your cultivation surpasses all the younger generation, and even exceeds that of the Lingbao Tianzun of the same age, the sect will naturally value you immensely. Moreover, I have persuaded the Supreme Elder Xu Dong, and with his support, the Guijian Sect now obeys my every command."

"Comparing people is truly infuriating!" Chu Xiaoyao exclaimed, almost dropping his jaw in astonishment.

Soon, the overwhelming army of cultivators stopped not far away.

Only one one-armed old man, holding a fat man, walked into the center of the formation.

When Wu Gen saw the face clearly, he was unsurprised and somewhat incredulous. Then, Xu Dong quickly communicated with him using his spiritual sense.

Chu Xiaoyao sneered and mocked, "You son of a bitch, Fatty Cao, you betrayed your teammates, and now you've finally screwed up."

"Hehe..." Cao Yusheng gave an awkward laugh, swallowed hard, and said, "I was just joking with you, please don't take it to heart."

On one side was Chu Xiaoyao, who was making sarcastic remarks, while on the other side were Wu Gen and Xu Dong, who were whispering and occasionally casting "malicious" glances.

Cao Yusheng exclaimed that he was incredibly unlucky and even felt like dying.

"Although the Heavenly Venerable didn't intend to make things difficult for his descendants in arranging his tomb, it still incorporates many peerless formations. If we can't find the gate of life, it will be very difficult to force our way in," Xu Dong said with some worry.

Wu Gen replied, "Please rest assured, Uncle-Master, I have already restricted the movement of the tomb by locking the dragon vein. As for the method to open it, it is hidden in the Word Combination Secret. Now we only need to send two people down first."

After he finished speaking, his gaze went straight to Cao Yusheng and Chu Xiaoyao.

"What do you want to do?" Cao Yusheng sensed something was wrong.

“You two are a perfect match. One of you is quite skilled in footwork and can see through some of the flaws in the formations; the other spends his days wandering underground, searching for dragon veins and observing the earth's energy. You two are a perfect match,” Wu Geng said solemnly.

"You want me to go down ahead of time and find the location of the Celestial Venerable's tomb?" Cao Yusheng's eyes widened.

“Exactly!” Wu Gen nodded.

“Don’t be so ruthless.” Cao Yusheng hurriedly shook his head and refused outright, saying, “I’m sorry, I can’t help you. Lingbao Tianzun’s tomb is too frightening. I’m afraid I’ll die inside.”

"In that case, let's first discuss the matter of your unauthorized excavation of the tombs of our Guijian Sect's predecessors."

At this moment, Wu Gen said meaningfully, "As the saying goes, those who steal someone's ancestral graves are irreconcilable enemies. If Daoist Chen is unwilling to cooperate this time, all the disciples of Guijian Sect will be under constant rage and may do some things that no one wants to see. I hope Daoist Chen will think it over carefully!"

"Isn't this fatso surnamed Cao? How did he become Master Chen?"

Chu Xiaoyao stood aside, puzzled. Of course, he wouldn't refuse, since he had no other choice anyway.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Cao Yusheng's body trembled, trembled twice, and then trembled again...

"Don't say anything more, I agree."

After saying this, he looked grief-stricken, as if he had suffered immense oppression.
