Chapter 494
Breaking the Formation!
As soon as Jiang Liu teleported over, he raised his hand to swat away the black mist that was rushing towards him. His gaze pierced through the black evil, and he could see the entire layout of the Myriad Evil Immortal Locking Array that covered thousands of miles at a glance.
The four array-pointing platforms stand like four giant black pillars in the northeast, southwest, southeast, and northwest directions, respectively.
Each one is thousands of feet tall, built from the bones of millions of demon soldiers. Dark red blood flows from the gaps between the bones, and a demon crystal the size of a human head floats at the top. The surface of the crystal is covered with ghostly green demonic flames and emits a monstrous demonic aura.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang! The Myriad Fiends Locking Immortal Formation is the number one trapping formation of the ancient demonic path, with three layers of defense, each more dangerous than the last!"
The voice of the Divine Profound Immortal came through the light screen of the Seven Star Protective Array, accompanied by rapid breathing: "The outer layer of the Immortal Locking Light Screen can isolate spiritual energy and the soul. The middle layer of the Thousand Fiend Corridor is filled with Spirit Devouring Demon Patterns and Tribulation Transcending Stage Demon Generals. The inner layer consists of four array eyes and the underground Myriad Fiend Demon Core."
"The demonic core is connected to the array eyes through four evil blood spiritual veins. As long as the demonic core is not destroyed, the array eyes can be reborn indefinitely. What's even more terrifying is that each array eye is guarded by a late-stage Mahayana demonic general, and assisted by dozens of Tribulation Transcending demonic generals. There is absolutely no possibility of forcing our way through!"
Jiang Liu: "."
Goodness, no one told me that the demonic forces had so many big shots!
"Interesting, much bigger than the scale of Tianjian City."
Jiang Liu smirked coldly: "But it doesn't matter. No matter how complicated the formation or gameplay, it's all just paper in the face of spending money!"
"Deep Blue, give me some in-game currency!"
With a thought, the aura of 10 billion spirit stones surged forth.
"The first step is to break through the outer layer of the Immortal-Locking Light Barrier! Consume 150 million spirit stones to build three seventh-tier barrier-breaking arrow towers, arranged in a triangular formation, to lock onto the weak points of the Immortal-Locking Light Barrier!"
"Consume 100 million spirit stones to build a seventh-order cleansing array, covering a range of a thousand feet, dispelling the surrounding black evil and providing vision for the arrow towers!"
[Three Tier 3 Barrier-Breaking Arrow Towers have been completed, and the weakest point of the Immortal-Locking Light Curtain has been identified]
[The seventh-order Cleansing Array is complete; the black evil energy within a thousand-foot radius has been completely dispelled.]
They don't care about spending other people's money; they can easily spend hundreds of millions of spirit stones.
next second.
Three golden beams shot into the sky, and three seventh-tier barrier-breaking arrow towers instantly appeared around Jiang Liu. The towers were made of evil-breaking black iron, and the golden arrows condensed in the arrow slots carried sharp barrier-breaking runes, accurately locking onto the three weak points on the Immortal-Locking Light Curtain.
The seventh-order Cleansing Array unfolded immediately afterward, and the pale golden light screen spread out like ripples, instantly dispelling the black evil within a thousand feet and revealing a clear sky. The outline and weak points of the Immortal Locking Light Screen were clearly visible.
"Oh no! Someone is trying to break the formation!"
On the high platform at the northeastern eye of the formation, Black Fiend Vajra suddenly opened his eyes. He was clad in black iron demon armor, gripped a black fiend giant axe the size of a door panel in both hands, and his demonic energy condensed into a thick shield around him as he roared and charged toward the barrier-breaking arrow tower.
"You scoundrel! You dare to die!"
The Xuanjia Demon Commander, the core of the southwest formation, also set out at the same time. He was clad in dark gold demon armor, holding a ten-foot-long serpent spear with a black light shining from its tip. He was followed by dozens of demon commanders at the Tribulation Transcending stage, rushing towards the Qing Sha Formation like a black cloud.
"You mere broken tower dares to presume to break my Myriad Fiends Locking Immortal Formation? Shatter!"
The demonic soldiers in the Thousand Fiends Corridor also moved. Countless demonic soldiers surged out like a tide, densely packed and stretching as far as the eye could see. Their roars shook the heavens and the earth.
"You've come at the perfect time, saving me the trouble of searching for them one by one."
Jiang Liu remained calm and tapped his finger lightly.
"Full power!"
[System Notification: The seventh-tier barrier-breaking arrow tower has fired a barrier-breaking arrow, hitting a weak point in the Immortal-Locking Light Barrier]
[System Notification: The seventh-tier Cleansing Array has switched to defensive mode, increasing its defensive strength by 80%]
Three golden arrows pierced the air, carrying a sharp whistling sound that tore through the black energy, and accurately struck the weak point of the Immortal Locking Light Barrier.
The moment the golden arrow collided with the black light barrier, a deafening roar erupted, ripples spread across the barrier, and three cracks instantly spread out, causing the energy fluctuations of the Immortal-Locking Light Barrier to weaken significantly.
The light barrier of the Cleansing Array instantly thickened, and the pale golden light blocked the charging demon soldiers. The demon soldiers attacked the light barrier frantically, but could only leave shallow white marks on it, unable to break through the defense at all.
Black Fiend Vajra's giant axe struck the light barrier with a loud clang. The light barrier trembled slightly but remained steadfast. Instead, the force of the impact caused his hands to go numb and his tiger's mouth to split open.
The Xuanjia Demon General's serpent spear pierced the light barrier, and the black light at the spear tip was swallowed by the light barrier. The demon commanders behind him who were in the Tribulation Transcending stage attacked at the same time, and various demonic attacks fell on the light barrier like a rainstorm, but they still could not shake the defense of the Qing Sha Formation.
"Impossible! What kind of formation is this? Its defense is so strong!"
The Xuanjia Demon General's expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Jiang Liu sneered, "What do you know?" and tapped his finger again.
"Let's reinforce the defenses! We'll spend 1.2 million spirit stones to build six Tier 6 Demon-Slaying Arrow Towers to wipe out the demon soldiers!"
[System Notification: Consuming 120 million spirit stones, 6 Tier 6 Demon-Slaying Arrow Towers have been completed and have locked onto the incoming demonic troops.]
Six sixth-tier demon-slaying arrow towers instantly appeared around the Cleansing Array, forming a hexagonal ring. The golden arrows at their tops locked onto the charging demon soldiers, and a dense rain of golden arrows fell like a waterfall, causing the demon soldiers to fall to the ground one after another, their screams echoing endlessly.
The demon generals in the Tribulation Transcending stage tried to dodge, but were locked onto by the rain of arrows. Their demonic armor was pierced by the arrows, and black blood kept gushing out. In just three breaths, more than half of the hundreds of demon commanders were killed or wounded.
Meanwhile, the second barrier-breaking arrow from the three barrier-breaking arrow towers had been completed. The golden arrow light was more refined than before, carrying a stronger barrier-breaking power, and once again shot towards the weak point of the Immortal Locking Light Curtain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After three loud bangs, the three cracks in the Immortal Locking Light Curtain were completely pierced through. The black light curtain shattered inch by inch like broken glass, turning into a sky full of black mist, which was instantly dispelled by the Cleansing Array.
The outer layer of the Immortal-Locking Light Curtain is broken!
[System Notification: Successfully breached the outer defenses of the Myriad Fiends Locking Immortal Array, obtaining...]
The righteous cultivators inside the Seven Star Guardian Array were overjoyed to see the Immortal Locking Light Barrier shatter. Shenxuan Zhenren excitedly shouted, "Fellow Daoist Jiang is mighty! The outer layer has been broken. Next is the middle layer, the Thousand Fiend Corridor. The corridor is filled with Spirit Devouring Demonic Patterns. Once you step into it, your spiritual power will be rapidly devoured. There are also remaining demonic soldiers and demonic commanders guarding it!"
Jiang Liu didn't stop; taking advantage of the chaos in the demon soldiers' formation, he continued to spend money on in-game purchases.
"The second step is to break through the middle level of the Thousand Fiend Corridor!"
"Consume 200 million spirit stones to build one seventh-tier Immortal Slaughtering Array, covering the Thousand Fiend Corridor area! Consume 100 million spirit stones to build two seventh-tier Purification Arrays to purify the Spirit Devouring Demonic Runes!"
[The seventh-order Immortal Slaughtering Formation has been completed, covering the Thousand Fiends Corridor area.]
[Two seventh-tier purification arrays completed, Soul Devouring Demonic Runes being purified]
The golden sword domain spread out like a tide, instantly covering the Thousand Fiend Corridor area. Within the sword domain of the seventh-order Immortal Slaughtering Formation, thousands of golden immortal swords floated in the void, emitting buzzing sword sounds.
Two purification arrays lit up simultaneously, and pale golden purification power flowed like water. The spirit-devouring demonic patterns in the Thousand Fiend Corridor were quickly purified, and the originally dark corridor began to regain its clarity. Where the demonic patterns disappeared, the original ground was revealed.
Black Fiend Vajra and Xuanjia Demon General's expressions turned even uglier when they saw the Thousand Fiend Corridor being purified.
They knew that the middle layer of defense was the core of the great formation; once breached, the formation's eye would be directly exposed to attack. Both simultaneously ignited their primordial demonic energy, causing their demonic aura to surge. A thousand-foot-long black demonic axe beam condensed on Black Fiend Vajra's giant axe, while a ten-thousand-foot-long black demonic spear shadow condensed on Xuanjia Demon General's serpent spear, both slashing towards the sword domain of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation.
"Smash it!"
The two roared simultaneously, their demonic attacks carrying a world-destroying force as they crashed into the golden sword domain.
"With such weak strength, you think you can break my seventh-order Immortal Slaughtering Formation?"
Jiang Liu smiled dismissively: "Immortal Slaughtering Formation, unleash your full power!"
Thousands of golden immortal swords converged simultaneously, transforming into a gigantic sword dragon that charged towards the black axe beam and the black spear shadow.
As the sword dragon weaved through the air, the golden sword energy continuously eroded the energy of the demonic attack, and the demonic energy on the black axe beam and spear shadow was rapidly purified, causing their size to shrink continuously.
The sword dragon, its momentum undiminished, charged toward Black Fiend Vajra and Xuanjia Demon General. The two men's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly summoned their natal magic shields to block in front of them.
The sword dragon crashed into the magic shield with a deafening roar. The magic shield was instantly covered in cracks. Black Fiend Vajra and Xuanjia Demon General groaned and flew backward, spitting out black blood from the corners of their mouths.
The remaining demon soldiers and demon commanders in the corridor were no match for the sword energy of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation; the demon soldiers were cut into pieces by the sword energy.
Although the demon leaders fought desperately, they could not escape death. In just a quarter of an hour, the demon soldiers in the Thousand Fiend Corridor were wiped out, leaving only corpses and black blood on the ground.
The middle-level Thousand Fiends Corridor is broken!
[System Notification: Successfully breached the middle layer of the Myriad Fiends Locking Immortal Array's defenses, gaining 10 Guardian Merit Points]
[System Notification: Vast Demon-Slaying Sword (Medium Grade. 99 → Medium Grade. 992)]
"Fellow Daoist Jiang is amazing! He broke through two layers of defense in a matter of moments!"
Upon seeing this, the Divine Mystery Immortal was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He exclaimed excitedly, "Next up are the inner array eye and the underground Myriad Fiend Demon Core!"
"The four array eyes are interdependent, and the demonic core is powered by the Fiend Blood Vein. The vein must be severed, the demonic core destroyed, and the array eyes destroyed at the same time, otherwise the array eyes will regenerate quickly!"
With a thought, Jiang Liu locked onto the Myriad Fiend Demon Core and the four Fiend Blood Spirit Veins five thousand feet underground. He raised an eyebrow and continued to spend money.
"The final step: destroy the core and blast the eyes!"
"Consume 200 million spirit stones to build two seventh-tier Pivot-Breaking Arrow Towers, precisely targeting the underground Myriad Fiend Demon Core!"
"Consume 100 million spirit stones to build four seventh-order vein-sealing formations, each locking down one of the four fiendish blood veins!"
[The seventh-tier Pivot-Breaking Arrow Tower takes shape, locking onto the underground Myriad Fiend Demon Core]
[A seventh-order sealing formation is complete, and the Bloodthirsty Spirit Vein is under lockdown.]
Two beams of golden light pierced through the ground, plunging five thousand feet underground. The seventh-tier Pivot-Breaking Arrow Tower solidified underground, and the golden arrow light condensed in the arrow slot, carrying core-breaking runes, was precisely aimed at the Myriad Fiend Demon Core.
The four sealing formations were placed above the four evil blood spiritual veins. The pale golden light curtain was like a giant net, firmly binding the spiritual veins. The evil blood flowing in the spiritual veins stopped instantly, the pulsation of the Myriad Evil Demon Cores slowed down, and the light dimmed a bit.
"Oh no! He's going to destroy the magic core!"
Black Fiend Vajra and Xuanjia Demon General exclaimed in alarm at the same time, as they could feel the supply of demonic energy within their bodies completely cut off, and their strength began to decline rapidly.
Without further hesitation, the two rushed toward the broken arrow tower, trying to stop it from firing.
Meanwhile, the demon generals of the other two array eyes could no longer hold back. The Poisonous Scorpion Granny of the southeast array eye and the Corpse King of the northwest array eye were dispatched at the same time.
Granny Scorpion was surrounded by billions of poisonous needles, while Corpse Demon controlled countless corpse demons, rushing towards the sealing formation, trying to break the seal on the spiritual veins.
"Trying to stop it now? Too late!"
Jiang Liu pointed his finger: "Broken Pivot Arrow Tower, launch the Core-Breaking Arrow!"
[System Notification: The Tier 7 Pivot-Breaking Arrow Tower has fired a Core-Breaking Arrow, which has struck the Myriad Fiend Demon Core.]
[System Notification: The seventh-tier Meridian Sealing Array has activated its meridian-locking runes, permanently sealing the Fiend Blood Spirit Meridian]
Two golden arrows pierced the core and exploded underground, accurately hitting the Myriad Fiend Demon Core. The surface of the core was instantly covered with cracks, and black demonic energy gushed out from the cracks, but it was blocked by the light barrier of the sealing array and could not spread.
The Demon Core emitted a piercing shriek, its pulse growing weaker and weaker until it finally ceased completely, turning into a lifeless black stone.
The four fiendish blood veins were permanently sealed by the vein-locking runes, and the fiendish blood within them solidified into ice, no longer able to provide energy to the array's core.
The light of the Xuan Sha Mother Crystal on the four array eye platforms instantly went out, cracks began to appear on the surface, and the skeletons on the platforms began to rustle and the structure became loose.
"No! The demon core is destroyed! The spiritual vein is severed!"
Black Demon King Kong roared, his eyes filled with despair.
He knew that the great formation was completely destroyed.
The poisonous needles around Granny Scorpion's body were shattered by the immortal sword, and the corpse demon controlled by Corpse Luo was also purified by the sword energy. The spear of the Xuanjia Demon General was covered with cracks. The auras of the four people were rapidly declining. Their original cultivation at the peak of the late Mahayana stage had dropped by half a level due to the loss of the support of the great formation.
"It's time to end this."
Jiang Liu's eyes sharpened, and he shouted, "All arrow tower formations, unleash full firepower!"
Three barrier-breaking arrow towers, six demon-slaying arrow towers, and two pivot-breaking arrow towers simultaneously turned their directions and locked onto the four demon generals.
The golden arrow light condensed to its maximum, carrying a world-destroying demon-slaying power, and shot towards the four demon generals!
Black Fiend King Kong tried to dodge, but it was too late. The golden arrow instantly pierced through his magic shield and stabbed into his chest.
"No!"
The roar of the Black Fiend King Kong abruptly ceased, and its massive body crashed to the ground. Its demonic form touched the sword energy of the Immortal Slaughtering Formation and was instantly shredded into ashes.
Xuanjia Demon General, Poison Scorpion Granny, and Corpse Luo were not spared either. Golden arrows rained down on them, shattering their demonic armor and artifacts. Their demonic bodies were pierced by the arrows, and they all turned into black ash, which was then completely swallowed up by the purification array.
With the deaths of the four demon generals, the four key platforms of the formation lost their last support and collapsed with a crash.
The bones of millions of demon soldiers were shattered into dust, and the underground Demon Core and Blood Vein were completely reduced to nothingness under the subsequent attacks of the Broken Pivot Arrow Tower.
The Myriad Fiends Locking Immortal Formation is completely broken! (End of Chapter)
