Chapter 344: Star Rising Sun Formation
Chapter 344: Star Rising Sun Formation
Cheng Bai led the team out of the Netherworld Road and stood in the underground sewer of Yinsheng City. The area was not unfamiliar to him, as it was the place where he had set up a stall.
Looking around, the underground market is no longer prosperous and bustling. Instead, it is filled with deep tranquility, almost making it look like an ancient underground palace forgotten by the world.
Hei Long hesitated and said, "If Your Majesty does not take action, can the battle on the top of the pagoda be stable?"
Cheng Bai frowned slightly and said in a concentrated voice: "Sister Yingying communicated with me through her spiritual sense and said that she will handle it in full, so it will be fine. There are bigger troubles lurking here."
The smoker said irritably, "The temperature is obviously too high. There were originally many people living in the sewers, so it shouldn't be so empty that not even a single person can be seen."
Zhai Xufei twisted his nine heads and said in a low voice: "There is a very powerful aura deep ahead."
"Follow me." Cheng Bai calmed his mind and used the Phoenix power to explore the way. His mind flexibly and quickly locked the direction, and he walked forward with big strides.
The familiar sign of the Secret Society branch came into view, except that the eye-catching logo of six outstretched wings had been roughly torn apart, with the fragments hanging and shaking.
Cheng Bai gently pushed the door open and walked in. A bloody smell, stronger than ever before, rushed towards him like a tide.
The human skin rune array displayed all over the store was gone, and a burly winged person lay quietly on the empty floor. Her white wings were torn off, feathers were scattered in a mess, her hollow eyes were filled with despair, and the charred hole on her chest was a fatal injury.
Cheng Bai recognized that the corpse lying on the ground was named Ba Tong, who had once had an unharmonious encounter with Lu Miaoting and others in order to rescue them.
Minjin maintained her human form and stared at the many rooms behind her. She said in a serious tone, "There is a creature in there that I feel is dangerous."
Kua E-yang reminded: "The sense of space is very strange, as if there is a vague continent between us. Could it be another world?"
"There is more than one living creature. We will know the result once we go in." Cheng Bai said as he led the team around Ba Tong's body and towards the dark corridor.
The interior of the Secret Society branch is deep and deep, and each room has a unique purpose. The door of the last room at the end of the dim light, marked "Room 21", was wide open, and the broken door panels were scattered on the ground.
Cheng Bai calmly walked through the narrow and dilapidated entrance, and the debris under his feet creaked as the people following him stepped on it. The scene behind the door suddenly became clear, and the vast and dreamy magnificent hall brought a strong visual shock.
The solid ground buried huge spheres that were either complete, damaged, or had circular spiral tracks, like a model of a planet with the upper half of the semicircle exposed.
Between the ancient and vicissitudes of life walls, huge stone heads of different sizes and colors peek out, golden like the shining sun, silver like the cold moonlight, and black like the mysterious and quiet. Behind the stone sculptures are inlaid bright halos, as if the gods and demons are high in the sky overlooking the vast galaxy.
The deeper one goes into the palace, the more foggy it becomes, and even a monk with extraordinary eyesight finds it difficult to discern what is hidden inside.
Cheng Bai stopped and waved his hand to signal them to stop moving forward. He said with a suspicious look on his face, "This place is so mysterious that it is similar to the operation of a formation. Don't rush into the danger."
Li Tong chuckled and said, "You can see that there has been progress! The fourth-level heavenly formation is the 'Star Rising Sun Formation', which has the power to absorb the power of flames and transform the power of yin and yang."
"Another guest is here." An old voice came from deep within the palace.
The other person's voice was obviously much younger: "Ba Hui, even if you call for more help, you can't stop me."
Cheng Bai remembered that it was Min Niuhao's voice, and thought: "As expected, Tu Min will be controlled and used as a sacrifice to attract the Beiling Sword Sect's combat power. Di Xuan is hiding in another person's body and giving orders, and his target is still Mo Ruyu. The Dark Emperor's son is not a pushover either, relying on another force in the sewer, the Guile Society. It seems that there are more masters behind the scenes than just Bard."
The old voice continued, "Di Xuan, I know how powerful the Sun Chaser is. But you are powerless in Mount Sumeru, and a rare formation has stumped you."
Min Niuhao sneered at the words: "You are a stray dog expelled by the angels, and you dare to brag? I am magnanimous and don't want to embarrass you. Even the three kings of the angels were killed by the Sun Chaser. Can a mere former archangel cause any trouble?"
The old voice was aroused with anger, and shouted: "Don't be so arrogant! I have long ceased to be an archangel. Now I am the master of the feathered people, the 'Great Envoy of Light' Bahui, who ranks tenth among the seventy-two sages. Behold the wrath of the Holy Light!"
Then a strong energy fluctuation erupted in the array, and the thick clouds were blown away by the aftermath of the hurricane, becoming much thinner.
Cheng Bai's spiritual eyes peeked through the haze and vaguely saw the subtle clues.
The upper half of the largest golden sphere in the palace was exposed, like a brilliant sun in the center of the stars, with a silver-white giant sitting cross-legged on top. She had a beautiful face, a slender body, and six white wings on her back.
Far away from her, on a smaller reddish-brown and rusty sphere, stood Min Niuhao, turning his body left and right to find a direction to move forward.
Cheng Baiqi said: "With his ability, can't he cross the distance in one step and rush to the front of the opponent? The influence of the formation is so great!"
Li Tong explained in detail: "Di Xuan has encountered an opposing force. The Star Rising Sun Formation can absorb the power of fire-type skills to supply the formation's center, while transforming the space within the formation. Blindly rushing in will not only cause a waste of power, but will also make you get further and further away from the formation's center."
Cheng Bai was slightly surprised: "The Secret Pattern Master of the Guimi Society is also proficient in formations? He is really knowledgeable!"
Li Tong smiled and said, "It's just a matter of analogy. For example, the Beiling Sword School is good at certain sword formations, but apart from the parts related to sword cultivation, they may not understand many other formations. The same is true for secret pattern masters. Their formations are often built on the basis of their own rune formations, and there are commonalities... Oh no! Di Xuan has already thought of a way to break the formation."
From a distance, Min Niuhao stomped on the giant ball he was standing on. With a loud bang, the rust-colored sphere shook violently, and its surface shattered and collapsed, with a large piece falling off.
Then Min Niuhao leaned over and pulled out a few pieces of human skin from the damaged area. He tore them apart while laughing, "You want to trap me with a few pieces of human skin runes filled with insignificant materials? You'll be dreaming."
The rust-colored sphere then dimmed and the rune array became completely ineffective.
Cheng Bai sighed and said, "No wonder the human skins disappeared from the store. It turns out they were all put into the planet models."
Li Tong said: "Entering the Star Rising Sun Formation without permission is like entering a space maze. No matter how capable Di Xuan is, it will take him a lot of time to deal with so many intricate arrangements."
Min Niuhao determined the right position in the formation, jumped onto a gray-white sphere, and lowered his head to search for the key part of the hidden rune formation.
Soon he found the target again, and he kicked and stomped the sphere to break it and tore apart several human skin tattoos inside. He said contemptuously: "An old-fashioned formation, nothing new." Then he jumped up and landed on top of another light blue sphere, shortening the distance between him and Bahui.
Seeing the situation deteriorating, Ba Hui sighed and slowly stood up.
She is about ten meters tall, with six wings spread out behind her, like a majestic god descending to the earth. She holds a giant sword with mysterious light and shadow in both hands, raises it high and sings in a low voice, with a melodious voice full of power and majesty: "The gods bless us, and the old days are clear."
Min Niuhao smiled disdainfully and said, "Oh? Just use one more spell, let me see what the difference is?"
Ba Hui did not rush to attack, but concentrated on raising his sword and chanting spells to mobilize the power accumulated in the formation.
The golden sphere under her feet flashed dazzling light, and the entire Star Rising Sun Formation was like a sleeping giant beast awakening. Wave after wave of surging flames were pulled by magic power and continuously gathered along the limbs, merging into the sword body to amplify the sword energy.
Min Niuhao laughed arrogantly and said, "Hahahaha... You dare to use fire secrets against me. Today I will let you know who is the real ancestor!"
But being in the enemy's formation, how could he just watch and let his opponent accumulate power to his heart's content? Min Niuhao opened his mouth and blew a breath towards Ba Hui: "Molten Wind!"
A pink-blue hot wind gushed out everywhere, and a large area of air lit up and turned into a world-destroying weapon, burning everything it touched along the way.
"The sword of the heart leaves no trace!" Ba Hui was forced to counterattack hastily, swinging his sword and slashing with a flaming sword light to attack the enemy.
A terrifying storm of light and heat arose in the formation again, and the powerful energy surged, causing the misty clouds to roll violently, until it was thin enough that Zhai Xufei, Kua Eyang and others in the distance could see the general situation clearly.
