Ning Cheng took a slight half-step forward, his Dao Rhythm Qi curling up and blasting at the Burning Talisman without a care in the world.
“Boom!” A dull Dao rhyme exploded and spilled out, setting off a raging aura.
This fellow would not be weaker than Xing Xi, this was Ning Cheng’s first thought.
Burning Fu glanced at Ning Cheng with the same astonishment, Ning Cheng was only at the early stage of Dao Harmony, but his strength was so terrifying. Even though he was sure that Ning Cheng had not concealed his cultivation before, at this moment he had some doubts whether Ning Cheng had concealed his cultivation.
The huge noise caused by the two human rhymes colliding immediately alerted the people around, and when all the people gathered their gazes over, Burning Fu grunted and did not continue to look for trouble with Ning Cheng and Nian Yan, but turned around and left.
He had come here rather late, and naturally, the reason for his arrival was the same as everyone else’s, because the Creation Immortality Axe had come out. Unlike ordinary people, Burning Fu guessed that the Second Creation War was about to come after hearing that the Creation Indestructible Axe had come out. After arriving in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, he had also heard that Ning Cheng and Ye Mo were both very strong, only that he had not seen them make a move. To him, after the First Creation War, there were False Realm False Dao everywhere. The very strong Ning Cheng and Ye Mo, he really did not look at them in his eyes.
It was only after he had a silent encounter with Ning Cheng this time that an alarm rose in his heart that Ning Cheng was indeed very strong and was in no way comparable to that kind of pseudo-dao.
Even though he did not continue to make a move here, Ning Cheng was noted by him.
If Burning Fu continued to make a move with Ning Cheng, Daoist Monarch Wang Shan and the others would definitely make a move to help Ning Cheng. Now that Burning Fu had not made a move, there would be no one to speak out against what had just happened.
After Shen Mo had announced the top three in the fighting talisman competition, the fighting formation competition began directly.
The person presiding over the fighting array was Mi Ruan of the Sanyuan Realm. Mi Ruan was of the Harmonious Realm realm and had kept an extremely low profile since Ye Mo had taken out Mu Qiang Jue of the Heavenly Gate Realm.
Mi Ruan nodded to Ning Cheng before he landed on the stage and said, “Fellow Daoists, I will be the one to preside over the fourth Dueling Formation of the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven Realm Competition. There are a total of eight hundred and thirty-one Daoists participating in the Battle Formation Competition, and the rules of the competition are very simple.
The rules of the competition are simple. We will set up a trap formation, and whoever is the first to get out of this trap formation will be the first. This trapping and killing formation is very powerful and it is very possible to fall in it, so if you do not wish to participate, you can also withdraw now.”
Just when all the people thought that the rules of the competition were really simple, Mi Ruan said once again, “Remember, there is another more important rule for fighting formations, and that is that any participant in the trapped killing formation can use the formation dao to strike. As long as you can trap your opponent with formation means and you get out of the trapped formation first, you are also the winner. You must strike with formation means, if you use other means directly, you will be driven out of the competition and disqualified.”
Mi Ruan spoke with ease, and all knew that the rule was not only simple, but also bloody. Under such rules, it was normal to be killed during a duel.
Previously, all of them thought that only when it came to the dueling, there would be killings appearing, but they did not expect that before they got to the dueling, there would be killings appearing during the mere dueling. This was the same as the first round of the Dan Duel of the Killing Dan, the only difference was that the Killing Dan that fought each other on the stage was replaced with a person.
Ning Cheng sighed a little in his heart, he did not make the rules of this competition, yet he could tell from them that in the eyes of these starry sky cultivators, life was the least valuable. Only strength was dignity, and only strength could win respect.
Luckily, he had not signed up for the fighting battles, Ning Cheng did not like this kind of meaningless killing in the competition very much.
If it was for the turf, he would have scored enough points to get a piece of turf.
The trapping formations on the tournament stage had already been set up, and all the participants knew very well that it was not these trapping formations that really gave them a threat, but the formation dao powerhouses around them who were participating in the fighting formations.
After all the people stood on top of the tournament stage, Mi Ruan raised the formation flag in his hand and said, “The formation fighting competition will now begin ……”
After saying these words, Mi Ruan directly dropped the formation flag in his hand.
After Mi Ruan dropped the formation flag in his hand, the entire stage was filled with an aura of trapping and killing. At this time, not only could the participants not see the scene outside the stage, but even the people watching the battle could not see the scene inside the stage clearly.
In just half a column of time, the trapping and killing aura on the stage became even more intense. Dao rhythms exploded and rule clashes continued to spill out of the trapping and killing formation, but these fluctuations were blocked by the seven powerful judges using formations and could not spill out.
Half an hour had passed and not only had no one stepped out of the trapped formation in the middle of the stage, but there was even blood and mist bursting out of the middle.
All the people were sighing, this dish was a real trapped killing formation. The trap formation itself was not difficult to open, what was difficult was that all the participants wanted to be the first to come out of the trap formation. If there was only one exit from this trapped killing formation, then the person who wanted to come out of the exit would have to kill or block back the person competing with him.
“Boom! Boom!” The two bloodied contestants were thrown out of the Trapped Kill Formation, and everyone knew that it was not that the two of them had gotten first and second place. Rather, these two had violated the rules and resisted with divine abilities or magic treasures when they were attacked by others with the formation dao.
Ning Cheng did not think that this was a bad thing, at least there was a way to escape from the Trapped Killing Formation when he could not stay in the middle of it.
A few more people were thrown out, Ning Cheng did not continue to watch the battle, but instead looked warily at the Burning Fu who was walking towards him.
Burning Fu had not spoken much after his initial fight, so what did this fellow mean by coming again at this time?
Ning Cheng also knew that he was no match for Burning Fu, but this was the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven, he would not be afraid of this fellow all the same.
“Fellow Daoist Ning, if you don’t mind, we can find a place to sit down.” Out of Ning Cheng’s expectation, this time, Burning Fu did not make a move, but spoke to Ning Cheng in a genial manner, the opposite of the kind of attitude he had left before.
“Fellow Daoist Bone, if you have anything to say, just say it here, I believe that no unrelated people will hear it.” As he spoke, Ning Cheng raised his hand and drew out a soundproofing ban.
“You really do know who I am.” While Burning Fu spoke, he glanced in amazement at Nian Yan beside Ning Cheng. Apparently, he had also guessed that the reason why Ning Cheng knew who he was was not because Ning Cheng knew him, but because Nian Yan beside Ning Cheng knew him.
Seeing that Ning Cheng did not reply to his words, Burning Fu pointed at Nian Yan and said, “Let her go out through the soundproof ban, I have some things to talk to you alone.”
When Ning Cheng had just struck the soundproofing ban, he had separated Nian Yan in at the same time.
Ning Cheng smiled faintly, “Nian Yan is my friend, there is nothing between you and me that is worth hiding from her. Fellow Daoist Bone, if you are willing to speak, please do so, if not, forgive me for not being able to accompany you.”
Although Ning Cheng’s tone did not have a strong taste in it, the words spoken clearly did not allow Burning Fu to question them.
When Burning Fu heard Ning Cheng’s words, he did not seem to care, nor did he ask Nian Yan to go out again, but said directly, “In the future, Fellow Daoist Ning should just call me Burning Fu, as for the original one, I have long forgotten that name. If I’m not wrong, Daoist Ning should have a great opportunity in his possession, otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t be able to collide with my aura at the Hedao realm.”
Ning Cheng instantly frowned and said in a somewhat hard tone, “Fellow Daoist Burn, whether or not I have an opportunity in my possession is my own business. The way you speak is very unpleasant. Just like Daoist Friend Burn yourself, if you didn’t have the chance in your possession, would you have been able to refine a talisman that caused the rules of heaven and earth to roar in such a short period of time?”
Hearing Ning Cheng’s words, Burning Fu smiled proudly and said, “The reason why I was able to refine a talisman that caused the rules of heaven and earth to roar was not because I had resorted to some external chance, but because my enlightenment and qualifications were unmatched.”
“Of course, that’s why your reputation of refining talismans is known throughout the universe.” Ning Cheng sneered.
To Ning Cheng’s surprise, Burning Talisman did not refute Ning Cheng’s ridicule, but instead was bewildered for a moment before digressing and saying, “Fellow Daoist Ning, if I am correct, at your level, you should be aware that the Second Creation War is coming, right? Perhaps you don’t care, thinking that the Creation War is still far away from you. In fact, let me tell you, with your current strength, once the Gate of Creation opens and the Great War of Creation arrives, you will be forcibly washed down to the Realm of Creation by the vast Dao rhythms rushing out of the Gate of Creation.”
This time, Ning Cheng did not ridicule Burning Fu, he felt that Burning Fu was right. With his understanding of the Creation War and the Gate of Creation, there was indeed such a possibility. Luckily, he still had a few fragments of the Creation Immortality Axe on him, and as long as he didn’t take them out, the Gate of Creation would not open.
Seeing that Ning Cheng seemed to be listening to him, Burning Fu said even more eagerly, “Do you know what a talismanic powerhouse means in the Creation Wars? I can honestly tell you that without Fu Lie, at least three more supreme powers would have died back then. Although Fu Lie has good qualifications in making talismans, it’s a pity that he defected to the wrong people.”
Ning Cheng had understood what Burning Fu meant, if Xiao Xinxi was someone who had come to defect to him and hug his leg, then this Burning Fu was someone who wanted to come and collaborate with him. Since it was a collaboration, then he would not position himself in an up-and-down relationship.
If the Gate of Creation was that only the first person to enter was a Supreme Position recipient, then if Burning Fu sought his cooperation, even if he took out all his competitors, the moment he entered the Gate of Creation, I was afraid that he would find it hard to escape this person’s poisonous hand.
Seeming to see Ning Cheng’s meaning, the Burning Talisman suddenly said, “You don’t have to worry about me competing with you for the first rank, at least not until I have finished off all my rivals. I also know that I am not qualified to get the first bit, I just need to get the position that belongs to me. If you agree to cooperate, I will introduce you to a place where, with your qualifications and chance, I believe that in less than a thousand years, you will be able to cross the third step of the supreme power and succeed in realm creation.
What I want to remind you is that your own boundary-making success is a completely different thing from forcing your strength to rush into the third step after the Gate of Creation opens. One lives, the other dies.”
“The first one came out.” While Ning Cheng was still considering Burning Fu’s words, a cheer came out, apparently the first place winner of the Battling Formation Competition had already come out.
