The path formed by mud and stones still has the hermit towering above.
However, that giant sword, like the collapse of the mountain, carried endless lightning and attacked Chen Yun fiercely.
Chen Yun's golden light spell-driven pure qi pillar was no weakling either, seeming to rise directly from the ground like an earth-supporting pillar, facing the huge sword's formidable might head-on.
Two powerful energies collide against each other.
In an instant, a ray of white light surged up at the point of contact.
At first, this white light was not particularly bright, resembling an electric lightbulb.
Yet in a blink, the white light expanded and scattered, erupting into dazzling light as brilliant as the explosion of a fierce sun.
Thud, thud-thud.
After a resounding explosion, continuous smaller explosions began to sound off.
Violent shockwaves spread in all directions, wild waves surged, as if the sea was fuming, sweeping across the area.
For a moment, the world was left with only two colors.
A giant sword with flickering electric light in mid-air.
A bit overwhelmed but largely neutralized the energy explosion with clear qi.
Two massive energy streams of different colors were still frantically entangled with each other.
Just like the collision of waves hitting the shore! Wave after wave!
The earth seemed to have shattered!
The space around was constantly trembling and unstable!
Terrifying shockwaves kept gushing from the point where the two energy streams collided, destroying the world bit by bit, continually crumbling matter into shattered pieces!
Zhang Shenmai and Geng Xiansheng inside the arena, along with Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, and Mr. Yan, all watched this earth-shattering scene unfold before their eyes.
None of them had expected that upon entering the central formation of the Ten Directions Extinction Formation, Chen Yun's first battle erupted with such a devastating and earth-shattering power!
Yes, it was truly a destruction of the heavens and earth.
Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, Zhang Jianming, and Mr. Yan gazed into the array with avid eyes, fearing to miss any of the sensational scenes that would follow.
The energy explosion did not last long.
The pure qi disappeared immediately.
The giant sword still had leftover power, yet for some reason, it melted away instantly.
Only endless smoke and dust filled the sky, and the mist spread, blurry and ephemeral.
Normally, if an ordinary mortal were in such smoke and mist, they would certainly not be able to see clearly.
Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, Zhang Jianming, Mr. Gan, and others were no ordinary mortals; they possessed extremely keen eyesight and were able to clearly see the environment within the smoke and dust right away.
It's not until you see it that you realize just how terrible it is.
Upon seeing it, everyone was rendered speechless and shocked.
The only thing everyone saw was that the continent where Chen Yun had previously stood had been completely destroyed by the collision of the two energy streams.
At the bottom, there was only a deep pit, still continuously spurting lava!
Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, and others did not enter the array and were unaware of how vast the world inside was. However, they saw that the array created a world of its own, knowing it was no small place.
Now, with just one exchange between Chen Yun and Liang Zhenyi, a small continent was shattered. It was unimaginable how terrifying the collision of their energies would be in the real world without the constraints of the formation.
It will certainly destroy a country!
The power was too terrifying.
Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, Zhang Jianming, Mr. Gan, and others felt a profound shock in their hearts.
At the same time, they saw that one of the giant mud and stone formation had vanished into thin air.
Everyone now understood why the giant sword had vanished despite still having power, as it had been blown up by Mr. Chen's arm that controlled it!
Everyone was so shocked that they stood still, even their minds went blank, unable to believe their eyes and the terrifying scene they had just witnessed!
Silence!
The site was in deadly silence!
Whether it was Cai Rujin, Huang Wanyou, Zhang Jianming, Mr. Gan, and the other cultivators from the Tang Court, or the dozens of cultivators from Nanning and Nanchu on the opposite city wall, they all showed expressions of disbelief and were frozen in place!
It was not only them. Even the tens of thousands of cultivators from both sides, such as Kong Xun, Gao Jiuxing, and Xu Zhidao, had expressions of incomprehensible shock in their eyes. They couldn't believe that Chen Yun and Liang Zhenyi's battle would produce such incredible power!
But, even though everyone was too shocked to believe, this scene, it happened!
Fortunately, fortunately, their battle took place within the formation.
If this happened in the real world, it's likely that only a few cultivators would be left alive, while the others would have been completely destroyed!
...
Within the formation, the battle was still ongoing.
The pure qi was agitated, extending in all directions like a network of rivers and lakes.
As the first beam of pure qi crashed into the arm of the mud and stone monk, a powerful energy surge erupted, completely shattering the arm that he had struck with his giant sword.
At the time, Chen Yun was overjoyed, thinking that with a few more attacks using pure qi, he would be able to completely shatter the mud and stone formation monk.
But little did he know that the monk only slightly shook his body, and a yellowish-brown energy flow surged from the stump of his arm, followed by the appearance of a new arm!
"What? Can it regenerate its arm after being severed?"
Chen Yun's expression turned serious, realizing that this mud and stone formation monk was not to be trifled with.
Knowing that the battle had already started, before his life was in danger, he would never retreat.
Chen Yun stared at the giant mud and stone monk, his body emanating even more brilliant light. "The energy consumed by the Golden Light Spell is indeed immense. Just now, to explode the arm controlling the giant sword, I expended quite a bit of my qi essence. If I don't find the array's core now, I may run out of power and be unable to break through the array."
Thinking so, a surge of pure qi shot up into the sky.
Another pure qi pillar was formed.
Roars resonated within the pure qi pillar.
It flickered with the colors of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
It condensed into a terrifying, writhing dragon.
The dragon's roar was like thunder, "Thud, thud-thud" echoed across the sky.
It could be that the previous attack by the golden dragon had angered the giant mud and stone monk.
Just as the new arm grew out, it suddenly let out a loud "howl," and yellowish-brown energy flow surrounded its body, compressed, gradually forming substance. The surroundings were aglow with gray light, and bits of light shot up and down like fireworks.
A colossal power erupted from the giant mud and stone monk's newly grown arm, covered in yellowish-brown light!
First, it clenched its fist, and when the power was concentrated to the point where lightning seemed to lurk, it raised its hand and struck with all its might.
Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed, and space was shattered!
A massive gray whirlwind, accompanied by electricity, burst into existence. It carried an air of supreme arrogance and violently rushed towards Chen Yun.
Wherever the whirlwind passed, it tore through layer upon layer of space barriers.
It will reduce the world to nothingness!
The terrifying power shakes the heavens and the earth!
"No good! The power is too great; with the strength I've currently unleashed, I'm no match for it!"
Faced with this might, Chen Yun was terrified. He dared not waste time slowly expending his power. He hastily summoned his inner strength, with pure qi exploding continuously, entangling with the divine dragon formed earlier by using the Five Elements and the Dragon-Killing Technique.
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
The divine dragon roared continuously.
Then, the silhouette of the five-colored divine dragon, with a body thousands of li long, broke through the qi pillar and emerged!
As soon as the five-colored divine dragon appeared, it opened its enormous mouth and sprayed an endless amount of flames.
The five-colored flames gathered together, forming a fierce wave, much like an enraged sea, with fiery flames towering.
For a moment, the heavens and earth were filled with only two types of energy.
A faintly visible yellowish-brown whirlwind of lightning in the sky.
The shattered land was ablaze with flames, as if the entire world had been ignited!
Two different colored colossal energies were surging towards each other at an alarming pace, like the crashing waves of the sea!
Boom!
The world shattered!
The entire space was collapsing continuously.
The terrifying shockwave burst from the point where the two energies collided.
The shockwave slammed Chen Yun down fiercely.
His entire body of pure qi was also ground to dust!
"How is it that even the afterwave of energy shocks has caused me to lose control of my body form?"
Chen Yun was shocked by the power of the mud and stone formation monk.
Even though he had unleashed his most powerful Golden Light Spell in its normal state, so far, he had made no progress against the giant mud and stone monk.
It seemed that within this small world inside the formation, Liang Zhen had acquired the power of a celestial being, capable of truly manipulating the power of the world!
While trying to maintain his form as best as possible, Chen Yun continued to release his divine sense, searching for the location of the array's core.
He believed that as long as he could locate the array's core, he would be able to break through the array quickly in the following steps.
Once the formation was broken, with Master Liang Zhen's cultivation at the middle stage of his realm, he would definitely not be a match for himself.
Up to this point, Chen Yun had not found any vulnerabilities.
It seemed as though the array core of the "Ten-Direction Extinction Array" was nonexistent.
Chen Yun felt something was amiss.
Any formation has a core.
Just as everything in the universe generates and counteracts each other.
How could there be no core?
Perhaps there is an answer in some detail that I have overlooked.
However, he didn't have the time to ponder now.
The shockwave from the collision was still ravaging.
Chen Yun could only try to dodge as best as he could.
Fortunately, the impact only lasted for a short period and then dissipated.
The five-colored flames took the upper hand, rolling the gray whirlwind with concealed lightning into a frenzied spiral upward, devouring the body of the mud and stone monk.
Although the residual impact was extremely powerful, Chen Yun had cultivated the "Pangu True Body Technique," creating his true body. He was only slightly unsteady in his form and did not sustain any real injuries.
He stared intently at the mud and stone formation monk beyond the universe.
He wanted to see if the five-colored flames formed by the divine dragon when he used his most powerful blow in his normal state could destroy the mud and stone formation monk in one fell swoop.
However, disappointment awaited.
The flames were continuously devouring the mud and stone monk's body.
But seemingly from nowhere, a stream of yellowish-brown energy flow was constantly compensating.
Allowing the mud and stone monk to continually repair his body!
After ten breaths.
The flames dissipated.
The mud and stone monk still stood in the void!
"It seems that no matter how much I attack this mud and stone formation monk, I won't be able to destroy him!"
Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.
He had exerted all his strength to fight, but he could never bring down this mud and stone formation monk.
That sense of powerlessness was the strongest he had ever encountered among all his opponents.
At this very moment.
Suddenly!
Boom!
The entire endless void shook, and the mud and stone monk slowly opened his mouth.
As the mud and stone monk's immense body grew even brighter, his mouth was surging with infinite heat!
A red flame was jumping inside!
Chen Yun couldn't help but be utterly shocked.
He could naturally feel that this high-temperature energy was very likely to cause real damage to his true body!
Could it be that I truly cannot break through the formation?
Chen Yun even wanted to withdraw from the formation and admit defeat.
Suddenly, his divine sense detected a hint of abnormality.
While the mud and stone monk gathered a large amount of cosmic power into his mouth to form flames, there seemed to be a faint qi fluctuation coming from somewhere.
Chen Yun hurriedly looked towards the west and saw, dimly, as if in the depths of an endless horizon, the silhouette of Liang Zhen wielding a divine sword.
He suddenly woke up and finally knew where the core of the array was!
