Free Web NovelChapter 482: Chapter 78: Battle of the Twin Formations
"If it’s impossible, it would be wise to retreat sooner, hahaha!"
Li Mu’s voice echoed from within Zhenyi City, resounding through the heavens and the earth.
In the following days, the Jiuli Tribe made several attempts, yet still found no way to extinguish the Array.
Moreover, with the help of the Profound Lady Race, wearing them down was simply unattainable.
Although this Array, once those at the Human Immortal Level like Can Gang strike, its destruction is only a matter of time.
But the ’Eight Trigrams’ laid down by Celestial Emperor Fu Xi envelop Nine Provinces.
No one dares touch the taboos within it.
Li Mu observed the solemn Jiuli and quietly retreated after this probing round.
The indifference to his mockery made him feel a bit uneasy.
Could Jiuli have more tricks up their sleeve?
Suddenly.
Figures stepped forth from the Jiuli Defense Line, resembling the Array above Zhenyi City.
Scarlet auras circulated around these figures that stepped into the firmament.
Instantly.
These scarlet auras began to coalesce into a colossal figure, seemingly filling the heavens and earth.
Its figure stood firm, wielding a massive bronze blade with three heads and six arms.
Instantly.
Even Li Mu paused for a moment, for within this Dharma Aspect, he sensed a Law.
Yet its power resembled ’Kunqian Inversion,’ not reaching the true Immortal Level.
"Slash!"
A grand roar erupted from the colossal Dharma Aspect.
The previous battlefield’s deathly aura, killing aura, baleful aura, all powers related to war.
Were invoked by this colossal Dharma Aspect.
A blade light, reaching the skies and earth, slashed through the Void.
Striking towards Zhenyi City.
"Inverse!"
Li Mu could hardly ponder why Jiuli could reach this point.
He could only swiftly alert the cultivators in Zhenyi City to respond.
The cultivators let out a collective shout, the Yin Yang Inversion Array spread like a mirror across the heavens.
The Sword Gang twisted strangely upon touching the array patterns, dispersing like light butterflies.
Yet it did not strengthen and rebound as it had before.
Simultaneously.
The heavenly Array seemed to receive a powerful punch, shaking the surroundings, its power frenziedly dissipating.
"When did Jiuli master such an Array!"
Even the Nine Heavens Profound Lady furrowed her brows, for the Array had been deduced by Kunlun Immortals.
Yet how could Jiuli possess an Array with similar rank?
"Overseas Immortals intervened."
At this moment.
A figure appeared beside Li Mu and the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, prompting both to hurriedly salute.
"Greetings, Celestial Venerable Guangcheng!"
"Hmm."
Guang Chengzi’s gaze fell upon the Jiuli Tribe, seeing Qin Wan bow respectfully, a slight smile on his face.
"Chan, explaining heavenly principles, their Array is likewise, borrowing heavenly principles to achieve human mastery of the Immortal.
Even human mastery of the heavens."
"Jie, seizing vitality, this Array, a Jiuli creation, connects to Chi You’s grasped Law.
Allowing Jiuli to utilize it."
Guang Chengzi waved his dust whisk, "Though differing in principle, the effect is the same."
Li Mu couldn’t help but ask, "But Celestial Venerable, why does it sound like our Array should be stronger?"
Guang Chengzi replied calmly, "Naturally, elucidating heavenly principles is far superior to seizing methods."
"Yet superior means difficult to master, even a genius like Wind Queen grasped only a fraction."
"But the Jiuli Battle Array, despite having a low ceiling, unable to reach Chi You’s realm.
Its connection allows rapid mastery and mobilization of nature."
Guang Chengzi’s words informed the two that Chan Array’s ceiling is high.
Because it elucidates heavenly principles, those with high insight can touch its ceiling, surpassing the Jie Array.
Yet Wind Queen could only grasp some aspects, whereas Jie Array low applicability, needing no insight.
Its connection can achieve desired states.
Thus, the two can contend.
Li Mu cautiously asked, "So is it not considered an Overseas Immortal’s direct action now?"
Guang Chengzi shook his head, "No, not even his own deduction.
Simply using the Jiuli Leader’s hand to evolve."
Saying this, Guang Chengzi felt puzzled, when did the Overseas Immortals connect with Chi You?
Could the prior sensing of Chi You connecting with the Profound Sect...
Was Chi You a disciple of some Overseas Immortal?
"Now, what is to be done?" Li Mu’s previous excitement vanished.
Thinking ’Kunqian Inversion Array’ would hold Jiuli for a long time.
As long as Immortal Level doesn’t join the battle.
The enhancement period, Youxiong was enough to contend with Jiuli.
Yet unexpectedly, Jiuli’s trump cards were numerous, even studying Battle Array Technique.
"Don’t panic, guard the city, this Array is difficult to rebound attacks, but breaking it will still take time."
"Now, with Drought Demoness and Ying Dragon nearing True Self realization, their return marks the true battle’s start."
Guang Chengzi calmly stated, "Moreover, the Overseas Immortal hasn’t violated Immortal laws.
We cannot act, instead consider how to battle Jiuli if the Array fails."
"Is everything to be left for the impoverished Daoist to ponder?"
"My involvement already borders interference, pushing further risks provoking not just Human Race strife."
"But genuine Immortal turmoil."
Guang Chengzi stated coldly.
"Heed the Celestial Venerable’s teachings."
Li Mu, upon hearing Guang Chengzi describing the consequences, couldn’t help but envision a scene of Human Immortals cascading like raindrops, falling amidst a chaotic sky.
With lingering fear, he could only nod, quickly regaining composure, ordering the entire army.
Constantly alert to Jiuli’s assault.
The two large Arrays in the firmament continued their battle, one attacking and the other defending.
The Dharma Aspect gripped the long saber, its thousand-foot Sword Gang repeatedly slashing, the Kunqian Inversion Array’s Eyeless Black and White Yin Yang Diagram also trembled continuously.
Only dissipating the power, unable to counter.
"Boom boom boom——!"
At this time.
The Jiuli Defense Line again erupted with countless flames, lacking the Array’s rebound, most of the Array’s power devoted to sustaining against Jiuli Array.
If diverting even a little power to block this artillery, maintaining defense against Jiuli Array would be impossible.
With Chi You Dharma Aspect poised to slash down, the resultant damage would be devastating.
A single slash could break the city.
However, though not creating an Array akin to ’Kunqian Inversion Array’ grasping Law.
The next-level Arrays were easily achieved.
Li Mu calmly ordered the many cultivators, arrays appeared momentarily, arrays emerging atop Zhenyi City’s strongholds.
