Kong Xun and all the officers had been startled to the ground by Chen Yun's great law.
The officers and soldiers looked at Chen Yun transforming into a demon god, annihilating the earth and sky array, and their hearts were all in awe to the extreme.
One of the tooth generals couldn't help but exclaim, "Mr. Chen, a god!"
Kong Xun had been extremely impressed with Chen Yun since he saw the master break through the Heavenly Destruction Formation.
Seeing Chen Yun command again, he also shows respect and says, "Indeed, the strength of Mr. Chen makes people want to kneel down and worship."
"Master Huang and the immortals hadn't broken the formation for so long, but Mr. Chen accomplished the feat immediately upon arrival."
"This is the true master. Earlier, Master Cai said he would have his uncle come out of retirement, and I thought the same about the Liang Zhenshen array, but who could have imagined that Mr. Chen was so fierce."
The officers were all talking among themselves, their words brimming with admiration and reverence for Chen Yun.
The Tang army was in chaos as tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison.
"Is Mr. Chen too fierce?"
"His magical abilities are vast, and his power is boundless."
"I have finally witnessed the majesty of the Daoist high-level experts."
…
In the reed pavilion.
The cultivators surrounded Chen Yun, all admiring him greatly.
Chen Yun, however, did not appear arrogant. On the contrary, he was frowning.
Just now, he saw that Mr. Geng was in danger and had no choice but to manifest his thunder and fire Dao body to fly into the array to save him.
Frankly speaking, if Mr. Zhao Guizhen had not been prepared to kill Mr. Geng ruthlessly, he might not have killed him on the spot.
Initially, Guo Wushi had also tried to attack when Cai Rujin was escaping from the array, but it was evident that he wanted to keep the person there and did not intend to kill.
Of course, Chen Yun did not seek to kill Guo Wushi; instead, he captured and brought him back.
Mr. Zhao Guizhen is not a human son. He participated in the Battle of Divine-Treasure Seeking just to accumulate some merits, and he had no intention of really taking someone's life. However, he had to do it anyway, which is obviously the worst kind of evil.
Therefore, Chen Yun didn't hesitate to kill him on the spot.
The act of killing was not the issue. The problem was that Chen Yun, just now, relying on the powerful thunder and fire of his Dao body, and having learned the location of the array's focal point, had successfully detonated the Eradication Array. However, the retaliatory force of destruction from the array was extremely fierce; it was so powerful that it even caused his powerful true form to experience some turmoil in his Qi and blood.
Of course, it was limited to Qi and blood surging.
He cultivated the first major breakthrough of the "Flying Jade Symbol" when he was young, making his flesh incredibly robust.
Later, he went through the Taoist cultivation of "Primordial Body Refining" and practiced the "Pangu True Form Scripture" to achieve his true form.
The strength and resilience of his physical form were so high that it could not be destroyed by the retaliatory force of the Eradication Array.
If he wasn't injured, why was Chen Yun frowning?
The reason is very simple.
He discovered that the Eradication Array was much stronger than the Heavenly Destruction Array when he entered it.
And the "energy" properties within it had also become vastly different.
He deduced that the subsequent eight arrays' power might become increasingly stronger than the previous one.
Chen Yun didn't know if it was right for other Daoist friends to try to find the focal point of the array, as it might cost their lives.
At this moment, while he was pondering the matter in his mind.
Huang Wanyou suddenly said, "The third array is difficult to break."
Speaking of this, Cai Rujin's expression turned serious, "Yes, the human extinction array is different from the heaven and earth extinction arrays. It has a much greater power and is said to be extremely suppressive to our human cultivators. The human extinction array, as its name suggests, destroys humans who enter it. Only if an immortal uses absolute power can they sweep through it. Otherwise, we human cultivators cannot enter unless we invite powerful demons and devils to break the array."
Mr. Geng, Zhang Jianming, and all the cultivators fell silent.
The human extinction array is really too unique.
Even with Chen Yun's incredible realm, he is still within the realm of humans.
It's hard to break the array.
Chen Yun has little understanding of the human extinction array.
Hearing the crowd's discussion, he asked, "What makes the human extinction array so special? Why are you all so afraid of it?"
"Uncle, you don't know," Cai Rujin explained, "The human extinction array is filled with endless winds of human extinction. Those winds seem very peaceful and serene, like the gentle spring breeze. In reality, once a person is blown by them, the wind enters through the fontanelle into the six internal organs, through the Dantian, through the nine orifices, causing the bones and flesh to dissipate and the body to dissolve."
Chen Yun asked, "Even a powerful body cannot withstand the power of this wind?"
Zhang Jianming took over the conversation and said, "It cannot be done. Even an immortal's body needs to be protected by immortality Qi in order to withstand the winds of human extinction. Otherwise, they will be destroyed instantly once touched by them. Previously, there was a friend of mine who was in the early stage of Dao Master level and had a formidable protective treasure. He wanted to break open the human extinction array by force, but as soon as he went inside, he was dissipated by a light breeze."
Chen Yun was shocked and exclaimed, "Even a treasure cannot withstand the power of this wind?"
Huang Wanyou sighed bitterly and said, "The winds of human extinction are taken from a single element of the wind disaster in the Hell Realm of Buddhism up to the third Dhyana level of the Color Realm. It is intangible and has no form, and it only affects humans. Therefore, even if your treasure is powerful, it cannot block it. Only with your own strength can you withstand it to some extent. Immortals cultivate immortality Qi to protect their bodies, and their power is colossal and unstoppable, naturally ignoring this wind as well. Even if your treasure is powerful, it cannot touch the intangible winds of human extinction."
Chen Yun does have some knowledge about the legends of the wind disasters in Buddhism.
In Buddhist cultivation, there are said to be three major disasters.
The three major disasters originally refer to the floods, fires, and wind disasters that occur when the world is about to be destroyed.
However, in Buddhist cultivation, there are also similar three disasters—floods, fires, and wind disasters—that cultivators need to practice spiritual attainments to avoid.
For example, the description of the poem by the Great Sage Buddha in "Journey to the West" is "Great Enlightenment Immortal," indicating that his actual identity is actually an immortal from the Western Paradise.
According to Wu Cheng'en's description, the method he imparted to Sun Wukong should be the true Daoist alchemy.
In theory, there shouldn't be any disasters.
However, Wu Cheng'en mixed the cultivation methods of the Daoist and Buddhist schools together, creating the so-called "three disasters."
Of course, there are also disasters in Daoist cultivation.
These disasters are usually intangible and invisible.
For example, the temptation of desire or similar troubles.
So how terrible are these three disasters?
Put simply, they can ruin a cultivator's meditation.
Even if you have reached the level of the Buddha.
If you cannot avoid these disasters.
It is also possible for tens of thousands of years of hard cultivation to be annihilated in an instant.
Among them, the wind disaster is the most terrible.
According to Buddhist belief, the disaster of fire destroys the initial meditative state, a great period of time ending, and destroys up to the initial meditative state.
The disaster of water destroys the second meditative state after seven fires, and then there is another great period of time, with a flood disaster that destroys up to the second meditative state.
The disaster of wind destroys the third meditative state after forty-nine rounds of fire, then there are seven waters, adding seven more fires, making it a total of sixty-three great periods of time until the sixty-fourth period, when the wind disaster destroys up to the third meditative state.
That means the wind disaster is the most severe disaster in Buddhist cultivation.
The wind inside the human extinction array now is a special wind that damages human cultivators taken from one of the Buddhist disasters, which is something everyone can imagine in terms of its power.
Chen Yun, even though he has cultivated an immortal body and indeed possesses "Immortal Qi," which is the Dan Qi, he is not sure if entering the human extinction array would be dangerous.
For something that poses a risk to his life, he definitely would not take the risk.
Just not taking risks won't be able to break the array, which makes him frown.
Perhaps he saw Chen Yun's silence.
The other cultivators fell silent as well.
After a moment of thinking, Chen Yun asked, "Is there no way to break the power of this human extinction wind?"
Huang Wanyou, who is well-read and knowledgeable, answered, "It's not impossible to break it."
Chen Yun asked humbly, "Please, Brother Huang, enlighten us."
Huang Wanyou said, "There are three methods. The first is the cultivation of the true person like me just mentioned, who can withstand the wind by using their vast and profound Immortal Qi."
Chen Yun asked, "And the second?"
Huang Wanyou said, "The second method is more difficult. It requires an Spiritual Treasure known as the Wind-Immobility Pearl. By using the pearl to stabilize the human extinction wind, it prevents it from blowing and thus the array is naturally broken."
Wind-Immobility Pearl?
He didn't have such a thing.
Chen Yun knew that such special kinds of treasures were usually not possessed by just anyone.
Therefore, using this method to break the array is not even considered.
He asked a third time, "What is the third method?"
Huang Wanyou looked somewhat oddly and said, "This method is actually very simple. You just need to find a demon or devil cultivator at the level of a sect master who is not a human. Of course, it should be very difficult to break this array with a sect master at the early stage. Only a sect master at the middle or late stage might have a chance."
This method indeed seems very simple.
If he brought disciples or his army of deities and generals, it should be easier.
Unfortunately, the sad thing is that Chen Yun came here in a hurry and didn't bring any disciples or his divine soldiers and generals at all.
Unless he delays some days and brings Aba Dao or Jiao Dao to this place, it seems like the only hope is to break the human extinction array.
Chen Yun thought secretly if he should return to Qing City Mountain to bring Aba Dao and Jiao Dao here to break the array?
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside, "Mr. Chen, I know you have great power, but do you have the courage to break my human extinction array?"
As the crowd looked in the direction of the shout, they saw an anomalous person riding a water buffalo within the human extinction array.
The anomalous person had his nose in the air and looked like a night demon, appearing very malevolent.
However, he was rather short, perhaps no more than four feet tall, and he didn't seem very human.
Chen Yun didn't rush to answer the other, turning to ask Cai Rujin, "Who is this person?"
Cai Rujin said, "His name is Jin Ming. It is said that he was the ascended form of Jin Xian Yuan, who cultivated into human form. Originally, he ruled over the large snowy mountains in Sichuan and self-proclaimed as the 'King Yu Yan.' He had thousands of small monsters made from Jin Xian Yuan, and his cultivation level is not too high. Compared to me, he is still slightly inferior."
Mr. Geng interjected, "The human extinction wind within the human extinction array can even injure the person controlling it. Therefore, a para-ecclesiastical cultivator from Nping, who is on good terms with many demons and evil spirits, went to the Great Snowy Mountains to invite Jin Ming to come out of retirement to lead the array."
It can be imagined how evil this array must be if even the one in charge cannot withstand it.
To be honest, Chen Yun felt somewhat stuck for the first time.
However, with Jin Ming challenging him now, Chen Yun couldn't afford to lose face.
He turned to address the outer camp and said, "King Yu Yan, please don't be in a hurry. I have already broken two arrays, and I am a little exhausted. Please let me rest for a moment before breaking this array."
Jin Ming knew Chen Yun was powerful and didn't intend to pressure him.
He bowed and said, "In that case, Jin Ming will await you in the array."
After saying that, he mounted his water buffalo and returned to the human extinction array.
Chen Yun glanced and then looked again at the worried Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, and other cultivators.
Chen Yun's statement about being exhausted after breaking two arrays was actually just an excuse.
He cultivated the "true body," which had an astonishing recovery power beyond imagination. How could he possibly feel exhausted?
He said this only to buy himself time to think about how to break the human extinction array.
Chen Yun secretly thought, "Is it really necessary to return to Qing City Mountain and bring Aba Dao and Jiao Dao here?"
