Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

"What a temper! Could it be that things aren't going well in your sex life lately?" The fat man quickly jogged to catch up with Zhao Hao, who had already entered the valley.

Meanwhile, a dozen miles away, Elena was driving her monster off-road vehicle this way.

The car was carrying Nanaya Saki, Ma Xiaoyu, and a woman with red, swollen eyes from crying...

Chapter 469 The Tribulation of a True Person

Zhao Hao shattered the array set up outside the valley with a single punch and strode into the valley. He'd been tricked!

This Shouchongzi is, after all, an old silver coin who has survived countless hardships and near-death experiences. His protective measures are like an old sow wearing a bra—one set after another!

The inverted five elements formation on the outer perimeter is not fake, but it is only meant to deal with ordinary people who are weak or who have accidentally wandered in.

They're far from being able to stop a master of bronze level.

Only when Zhao Hao stepped into the valley did he truly enter the great formation.

Shou Chongzi was, after all, a sorcerer born in a chaotic era. Although he didn't fare well in the Celestial Empire, that only meant he had embarked on the righteous path and had yet to achieve true enlightenment.

But he wasn't just aimlessly drifting through life. In fact, he was ruthless and had committed major crimes in many provinces south of the Yangtze River.

Those were the years when the Zhao family was embroiled in internal strife, and various forces were rising up in great chaos, giving these unorthodox individuals a space to survive.

Now that the Zhao family has been gradually brought down, constitutional reform movements have begun in various places. These are power struggles among the upper echelons, so things are not so chaotic anymore.

That's why Shou Chongzi and his men hurriedly ran away; otherwise, they might not even know how they died.

Shouchongzi once obtained a fragment of a battle formation diagram in an ancient Tang Dynasty tomb. The tomb owner was an official of the Imperial Observatory during the Tang Dynasty. Although the diagram was incomplete, it was extremely sophisticated.

Shou Chongzi spent more than a decade using some unorthodox and evil methods and sorcery to fill the gap in front of him.

Of course, the array diagram he completed could only be described as a poor addition, turning a perfectly good constellation array diagram into an evil magic array.

But this thing is very effective. In Southeast Asia, although it has only been a few years, the area has been very chaotic, with large numbers of evil people using increasingly wicked methods.

However, Shou Chongzi used this formation to kill sixteen well-known local superhumans within three months, including two bronze-level experts, and established his foothold.

Now the formation is hidden at the entrance of the valley, trapping Zhao Hao inside.

The essence of the Star Array lies in connecting with the power of the stars in the sky. However, Shou Chongzi did not have this ability. He took a different approach and turned the array into the Earthly Fiend Demon Star Array.

Forget about the twenty-eight constellations in the sky, but he found twenty-eight people with special destinies, high spiritual potential, and birth dates corresponding to the twenty-eight constellations. After using secret methods to refine them into mutants, he killed them and placed them in coffins under the formation.

This person's twenty-eight mutated demonic star ghosts formed the basis of the magic array, enabling him to cast twenty-eight kinds of magical and evil spells, all of which were the most evil and vicious spells from Southeast Asia.

Each time someone is killed by the formation, their soul and corpse are devoured by these twenty-eight mutated demonic star ghosts. The formation also serves to refine these twenty-eight demonic star ghosts. It's a multi-faceted benefit!

In addition, Shou Chongzi repeatedly killed people to steal treasures, or obtained vicious Gu worms and magical artifacts crafted by others, adding them to the demonic array. Although he made the array look bizarre and incongruous, its lethality and troublesomeness were still top-notch.

As Zhao Hao stepped into the formation, dark clouds surged, plunging the surroundings into darkness. Then, crimson mist billowed from the sky above; the earth cracked open in front of him, from which countless charred corpses crawled; to his left, turbid waves surged, stinking black, and soaking countless swollen, deformed bodies; behind him, a rustling sound filled the air as countless human-faced flying insects swept in like a black wind…

Whether it's blood mist, charred corpses, drowning, or Gu worms, none of these are ordinary methods.

While it may not directly cause fatal damage to bronze, this is only a small part of the evil magic. Of the twenty-eight evil spells, there's bound to be one that's aimed at you.

If your physical body is indestructible, what about the protection of your mind?

What about the smell? What about the sound? What about the curse? What about the ghosts?

You're not afraid of the Five Elements magic? What about magnetism? Yin lightning? Yin wind? Yin demons?

Unless there is a huge difference in strength, how could a normal Bronze-level player be as well-rounded and flawless as Zhao Hao?

There will always be someone to restrain you.

Moreover, these evil spells seem to have no consumption within the demonic array. With the Earthly Fiends as the source and the Demon Star Ghost as the transit point, they are inexhaustible. Being trapped in it for a day or two is fine, but even for ten days or half a month, the array will continue to operate non-stop, wearing you down to death!

So, if Fatty were to unfortunately get trapped in the formation, he could only hold out for three days, at most five days, and that's only when Shou Chongzi wasn't personally in charge.

As soon as Zhao Hao stepped in, he realized he had been a bit too excited and had entered someone else's formation.

However, he wasn't nervous about what he was facing.

This formation is powerful because it is insidious and complex, and it is always there to find your weakness.

However, this formation itself also has weaknesses.

For a formation to work, you need to be able to trap people.

The original constellation array was based on the twenty-eight constellations, which extended the array space to its limit and made the spatial blockade almost impenetrable, so it could only be broken by force.

After being transformed into the Earthly Fiend Demon Star Array, its sealing effect was greatly reduced.

These twenty-eight refined demonic stars certainly cannot compare to the stellar power of the twenty-eight constellations.

As long as Zhao Hao fully activates "My Realm", he can create an independent space around himself and forcefully squeeze out of the formation.

But since we're already here, let's take a look.

Zhao Hao took out a palm-leaf fan from his ring; it was a large, round one.

This palm-leaf fan has two different colors on each side. The front is red with flames painted on it, while the back is blue with snowflakes in the wind.

Zhao Hao first waved his palm-leaf fan behind him, and a whirlwind of flames was instantly unleashed, forming a fire tornado that rushed towards the countless insects. In an instant, all the insects turned into sparks burning in the sky, creating a spectacular sight.

Tens of thousands of Gu worms were ignited, filling the air with a strange, sweet smell that, upon closer inspection, smelled incredibly foul, like the stench of rotting corpses.

However, Zhao Hao's head was already encased in a circular barrier. How could a dignified Celestial Dragon possibly smell such foul air?

Zhao Hao turned around and fanned himself again at the blood mist pressing down on him. Suddenly, a blizzard struck, and the temperature plummeted to minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius. The extreme cold froze the blood mist, carrying it away to an unknown distance.

……

Zhao Hao's entry into the formation ironically caused trouble for Fatty. Fatty watched as Zhao Hao's figure flashed and disappeared, and he immediately sensed the fluctuations in the formation.

"Holy crap! That was close! Ritian, you'd better pray for yourself!" He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and his whole body floated up, crossing the path at the entrance of the valley and flying into the valley.

He had only flown a hundred meters or so when a whooshing sound came from his side, and a long white bone whip lashed out with a sonic boom that hit him right in the face!

He dodged quickly and landed on his feet, almost falling flat on his face.

Only Fatty learned this aerial maneuver, but he didn't use it well; he usually stayed on the ground.

I was attacked in mid-air and almost didn't manage to dodge it.

However, even after dodging the attack in the air, there was still an attack from the ground!

A huge, bloody, five- or six-meter-long trident suddenly pierced the fat man who had just landed!

"Pfft~" The fork head, more than half a meter long, pierced into the fat man's chest and abdomen.

However, not only did no blood flow, but the fat man's expression didn't even change. His white lotus body had already ignored this attack.

A red lotus suddenly appeared beneath his feet, and a bright fire surged forth, burning along the large fork!

The two pseudo-Bronze level monsters stopped the fat man.

In Southeast Asia, because there has never been a proper pantheon, it has become a paradise for sorcerers and evil magicians.

Forget about the orthodox pantheons, there are also many evil god worshipped over there!

Those various evil spells are like raising poisonous insects, constantly devouring and merging with each other in the local area, turning into even more sinister and dangerous evil arts.

These two monsters were created by Shouchongzi using local evil magic.

One called the Tucha Ghost King was made from the corpses of nineteen men born in the year, month, and hour of Yang.

With two horns on its head, four eyes, and fangs, it is a five-meter-tall, red-bodied, skeletal armor-clad, and bone trident-wielding burly man!

In order to create this ghost king, Shouchongzi also stole the remains of eight eminent monks from the local temple, so that the ghost king would not be restrained by Buddhist teachings.

Another one is called the Four-Faced Bodhisattva, whose head has four women's faces in four directions, each with a different expression of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

The monster was entirely blue, and it wore several strange magical artifacts, such as a skull cup, a human skin umbrella, and a spine whip, but it was shirtless.

Years later, Fatty saw the scene of the group of girls gathered together again, eight of them crammed together, their sanity plummeting...

谷尸

These two demons are extremely ferocious, and Shouchongzi will not use them lightly, because they often backfire.

……

The moon was now high in the sky, its light shining even brighter, casting a silvery glow across the earth, making the night as bright as day.

This valley, in particular, is a natural energy field where moonlight falls like pillars of light, in much greater quantities than in other places.

Inside the formation, Zhao Hao experienced a variety of things, including flying knives, black sand, golden light, earth fire, poisonous blood, and dark lightning, essentially experiencing the full range of services.

It has to be said that Shou Chongzi truly lives up to his reputation as a veteran superhuman, someone who has roamed many places. It's quite remarkable that he was able to collect so many strange and evil techniques.

Many of them are extremely lethal; if they're Iron 5-star, each one could be fatal. Even Bronze level would be in serious trouble.

But that's not enough against Zhao Hao~

Zhao Hao's protective barrier alone blocked all attacks. He then summoned a black shadow beneath his feet, swallowing up everything—endless black sand, poisonous blood, or flying knives. There was no way to continuously wear him down.

Suddenly, two giant golden hands, each over five meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air at the entrance of the valley. The hands tore at something as if they were tearing it apart!

Open it!

With a loud crack, the entrance to the valley collapsed like an explosive device splitting a mountain.

Suddenly the ground cracked open, and twenty-eight demon stars in various terrible states were forced out!

Most of the demonic stars rushed towards Zhao Hao, while a few tried to escape.

However, after breaking the formation, Zhao Hao had already set up a barrier around the area. This was not only to prevent the demons from escaping, but also to prevent anyone from spying or launching a sneak attack.

After Zhao Hao swung his golden fist and smashed all twenty-eight demon stars to pieces, the fat man also finished off the two pseudo-bronze demons, panting heavily.

The Demon King was turned into dust by the fat man with a six-barreled Gatling gun, costing him at least several hundred thousand dollars!

Although his girlfriend was a rich woman, the fat man was still heartbroken and determined to ask Zhao Hao for reimbursement.

The four-faced Bodhisattva was cut into several pieces by his Azure Lotus Sword Qi, and then burned to ashes by the Red Lotus Heart Fire.

At this point, Shou Chongzi naturally knew that someone had broken in and was causing trouble, and that the intruder was no weakling.

But the ceremony had reached a critical moment, and with the imperial dew about to fall, the ceremony was about to begin, and he did not want to give up.

"You bastard! I'd like to see who's got the guts to mess with me!"

He flicked his peach wood sword, and miraculously, the red candles on the altar suddenly ignited, accompanied by the cries of countless women.

The wax dripping from the red candle looked like countless tears of blood!

"Hmph! Go!" The peach wood sword was pointed again, and the two red candles burned fiercely as if spewing fire, and countless screams rang out.
