Two or three years, for a cultivator, that is almost the blink of an eye.
Outside the Tai Su Realm’s Great Boundary Protection Formation, the millions of Dao Court troops from the Liu Su Dao Court had already arrived. Compared to the millions of Dao Court armies from the Liu Liu Dao Court, the hundreds of thousands of people behind Feng Si scar of the Boundless Palace looked a little messy.
The great square in the void outside the Tai Su Realm had long since been occupied by the millions of Dao Court armies and the cultivators from the Boundless Palace’s helping fist, and not a single person from the Tai Su Realm could be seen in the square.
The curly-bearded Jace walked up to Ao Beijiang and cupped his fist to him, saying, “Senior Ao, this time I have gathered 60% of the Dao Court army from the Liu Dao Court to come here. Therefore, I would also like senior to agree to a request from me.”
With a wave of his hand, Ao Beijiang said without hesitation, “I have already agreed to the request you said before.”
Jace shook his head, “Apart from that there is one more thing, Ning Cheng most likely has a copy of the Tai Yi Sacred Demon Skill on him, which was snatched from my Liu Fang Zhen of the Liu Dao Court ……”
“The Tai Yi Demon Scroll?” Ao Beijiang understood what Jace wanted as soon as he heard Jace’s words, he was even more shocked in his heart, just how lucky was this cultivator called Ning Cheng, how could he get so many good things? Even the Devil Scroll had it.
However, without even considering it, he said straight away, “I agree, as long as I can find the Taiyi Devil Scroll from Ning Cheng, that book is yours.”
“Good, how will we attack later, Senior Ao, please be straightforward.” Jace was overjoyed, apart from Ao Beijiang’s promise, another important reason for him to come here was the Devil Scroll on Ning Cheng’s body.
Feng SiChen also walked over and said, “Right, how to break through the Tai Su Realm protective formation this time, Brother Beijiang is good to make the call.”
If there was no Dao Court Army from the Lucid Dao Court, the hundreds of thousands of people he had gathered would have looked spectacular and quite imposing. However, in front of the Dao Court Army of the Liu Liu Dao Court, whose murderous aura split the void, his hundreds of thousands of people were really a mere rabble.
The reason why the Dao Court Army can be called an army is because it has gathered an aura of killing and destruction, which cannot be done by a single Saint Emperor.
“This Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm looks somewhat uncomplicated, Daoist Monarch Jace, do you think this formation has any weaknesses? Where should we start?” Ao Beijiang turned his gaze towards Jace.
Jace himself was a top-level divine formation master, and was even one of the famous divine formation masters in the Taiyi Realm. This was one of the reasons why Ao Beijiang wasn’t worried about the Tai Su Realm’s protective formation.
Jace’s face was serious as his gaze stared at the great boundary protection formation at the end of the void square in the mist for a while before he said, “This great boundary protection formation looks somewhat like the Eighty-One Space Locking Formation, with eighty spatial dao rhythms locking the void outside the Tai Su Realm and one spatial dao rhythm most likely being an innate magic treasure as the centre of the formation to suppress it. If we want to attack this great formation, we must first send someone to suppress the formation centre.”
Ao Beijiang was overjoyed, “It’s best if Daoist Monarch Jess can see this protective formation, so let’s see how we can do it later.”
Jace shook his head, “I’m just guessing that this is the Eighty-One Locked Sky Formation, with an innate magic treasure suppressing the formation centre. But this formation looks a bit different again, so the specifics, we will have to enter the protective formation to be sure.”
Ao Beijiang naturally understood this, and to him, as long as Jess had caught the slightest hint of this formation. A few dozen hybrid powerhouses, plus millions of Daoist Court troops could tear open this protective formation.
A more powerful defensive formation was nothing in front of a truly strong person. If he had now transcended the second step of the Dao of Evidence and entered the third step. Even if he knew nothing about formations, he could easily tear apart the Tai Su Realm’s protective formation. This was where strength reached a certain level and a qualitative change took place.
“Good.” Jace said before beginning to mobilise the Daoist Court Army into the protective formation.
If Jace knew that this protective formation was not one innate magic treasure, but two innate magic treasures suppressing the heart of the formation, he might regret coming on this trip.
Feng SiChen didn’t say anything more after Jace spoke. When he heard Jace say that the Great Boundary Protection Formation of the Tai Su Realm had an innate magic treasure as the formation centre to suppress it, he had some bad feelings in his heart. His Mountain River Dou had been snatched away by Ning Cheng, so could it be that the one used by the Tai Su Realm to hold down the formation was his Mountain River Dou?
A squad of Dao Court troops led by a Mixed Origin Saint Emperor, two more Hedao Saint Emperors pressing the formation, and even more, a top divine formation master like Jace commanding the pressure towards the Tai Su Realm’s protective formation. This kind of momentum was almost crushing, without any half-hearted stagnation.
Millions of people, almost with every step they pressed forward, powerful killing auras and dao rhythms coalesced together, causing a clattering sound.
“The Liuyu Zhangyun Army will advance thirty miles along the direction of my formation banner and stand at the Burgundy position; the Liuyu Zhenjin Army will advance one hundred miles along the direction of the formation banner and stand at the Sundown angle ……”
A formation flag was thrown out by Jace, and a team of cultivator army rolled with a murderous Dao rhythm aura and turned with a bang.
In a short time, this area was filled with a murderous and gritty aura.
“Four armies to suppress! The rest follow my formation flag and attack ……”
Jace’s voice spoke faster and faster, not only did he sense that something was wrong, even the two Hedao Saint Emperors sensed that something was wrong, as they were moving in such a manner, not a single person from the Tai Su Realm came out to stop them, not even the sound of an alarm.
After all, they had been waiting outside the Tai Su Realm for several years, and even if they were idiots, they would know that they would attack the Tai Su Realm sooner or later.
But no one had come out to stop them, that wasn’t right. Jace had even started to suppress the heart of the formation and was ready to break it.
“Boom boom boom!” The first wave of attacks from the Daoist Court Army finally landed on the Void Formation Banner.
All of them felt a shaking around them, as if the void they were standing on became unstable. Jace even threw out one formation flag after another, and the constant attacks continued in unbroken succession with the formation flags working together, the booming sounds getting faster and faster.
As a Daoist monarch, Jace didn’t know how many battles he had led the Daoist court army in, and as a formation master, he knew even better that once a battle began, the most taboo thing was to cower in fear. Everyone knew the principle of one drum, then three.
“Ka ka ka ka ……” a sound of the protective formation cracking rang out, someone finally spoke, “Ao Beijiang, the first time you bullied up to my Tai Su Realm for no reason and injured someone from my Tai Su Realm, we Daoist Monarchs look at the Tai Yi Realm and Tai Su Realm We Daoist monarchs did not take it personally because the Taiyi Realm and the Tai Su Realm belong to the same Five Tai Realms. I didn’t expect you to go further and further, even bringing in the Dao Court Army, do you want to be a bandit, a prestigious Dao Harmony powerhouse?”
The one who spoke was Kang Xiushan, and after a clicking sound, Kang Xiushan’s figure was revealed, and at his side, there were countless blurred figures of formation masters looking anxious and nervous as they kept arranging formation flags, revealing that they were guarding the great formation.
Seeing this scene, many people were relieved. It turned out to be a staged formation. If this formation hadn’t been blown open a bit, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have known that the Tai Su Realm was in strife.
Ao Beijiang smiled coldly, “Kang Xiushan, don’t pretend, I still say the same thing, hand over Ning Cheng and we retreat. Otherwise, the Taiyi Daoist Court Army will not easily say retreat.”
Just as Ao Beijiang’s voice fell, a click sounded, and the entire space trembled with a clatter, as if countless spaces began to collapse down. The appearance of the Tai Su Realm became clear under the crowd’s divine sense.
Kang Xiushan’s face changed as he waved his hand and said, “All the formation masters stand back, all the Tai Su people press on, my Tai Su Realm will definitely not be invaded by these shameless people even if I kill only the last person left.”
As Kang Xiushan’s mouth was saying these words, his heart was also speechless, as these were the words Ning Cheng had asked him to say. He was certain that even an idiot could see that the Tai Su Realm’s protective formation, which was so easily blown away, was a fake and was baiting the enemy. Who let Ning Cheng be a Daoist Monarch? He could only follow what Ning Cheng said.
Kang Xiushan had not guessed wrongly, as he led the divine formation masters of the Tai Su Realm backwards, while not a single person from Ao Beijiang’s side rushed in. Just as Kang Xiushan had thought, even an idiot would know that it was a fake that the formation was so easy to break.
Ao Beijiang and Feng SiChen glanced at Jace and did not speak.
Jace hesitated for a moment and said, “That Ning Cheng doesn’t look like an idiot either, so why pull out such low-level tactics?”
Feng SiChen said after a moment of silence, “On the contrary, I don’t think this is a low-level tactic, this is the most successful way to lure the enemy.”
“The most successful?” The people around them all stared at Feng SiChen.
Feng SiChen said in a deep voice, “Everyone knows that this is a low-level means of luring the enemy, but since we want to go to the Tai Su Realm, can we not go in?”
Many people understood Feng SiChen’s meaning, people were deliberately baiting the enemy like this, but since you wanted to go and destroy the Tai Su Realm, you had to fall for it. If you don’t go in, then retreat. This has been planned for many years, who would be willing to retreat?
Jace nodded, ”I also reckon that Ning Cheng is using a Yang scheme, and in the face of this, we must go in. Since we know that he is baiting the enemy, we cannot all go in together, we can only go in partially. Ning Cheng is letting our people go in partially, and then he can exterminate some of them, weakening our strength. If he really thought like that, then it could only mean that he was just like that. Sometimes, in the face of absolute strength, small intrigues are of no great use.”
The words came out of his mouth, but Jace did not send anyone in.
Ao Beijiang had no choice but to say, “Daoist Monarch Jess, send an army in to test the waters, and if the trapping and killing formation isn’t very strong, we’ll just tear it apart with our strength.”
Jace had no choice but to do so in his heart, his Daoist Court army had come to do just that. The Daoist court army that suppressed the heart of the innate magic treasure formation he did not move, this time he sent out 100,000 of the most ordinary Daoist court army.
The 100,000 Dao Court Army, led by a Mixed Saint Emperor, rushed directly into the cracked protective formation. As soon as these 100,000 people rushed in, a tearing and terrifying killing sound swept in from all directions, trapping these 100,000 people tightly.
The Dao rhyme killing patterns were like substance as they blasted into these 100,000 Dao Court troops, as if they were slicing and dicing, and these 100,000 Dao Court troops perished at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even that Hybrid Saint Emperor did not have long to hold on.
“I see, this is the Void Strangulation Formation, an arrangement that uses formations to kill one by ten. Their bottom card is here, the Dao Court army that the Tai Su Realm used just now was nearly a million strong. And they still have more than two million people who have not moved. If we fill in like this little by little, it will be the same as those 100,000 people. If we all rush in, the effect of this formation will diminish without limit, and we can definitely tear apart this strangling formation in no time.” Jace said in a stern voice.
