The crowd outside watched as Chen Yun performed the Golden Light Spell and Liang Zhen fought with the power of a small world, astonishing everyone at once.
Both are great teachers of the mundane Taoist door.
One shakes the Rappan region with their name, while the other dominates thousands of mountains and rivers.
If only by reputation, Chen Yun surpasses Liang Zhen by a measure.
In fact, after witnessing the two people's hands-on match and the commotion it caused, both the cultivators from the Later Tang faction as well as those from Nanping and Nan Wu understood that Chen Yun's strength far exceeded Liang Zhen's.
Why did these cultivators think so?
It's simple; Liang Zhen fought with Chen Yun using the Ten Directions Annihilation Formation for a while, but he could only maintain a slight advantage.
It's known that in front of the Ten Directions Annihilation Array, nine of the ten formation arrays were held by high-level cultivation disciples, which could withstand those at the peak of the teaching realm.
Now Liang Zhen is in charge of the overall formation. According to the analysis of the first nine arrays, it is likely that only immortals can break through the formation.
Not to mention that the fact that Chen Yun entered the formation alone and was never swiftly defeated by Liang Zhen already reveals his formidable strength.
Moreover, everyone had seen Chen Yun display the Wind and Thunder Body, knowing that he had not yet unleashed his full strength.
"Hasn't yet unleashed his full strength, yet he is already so formidable?"
"If Master Chen were to give it his all, what an terrifying situation would it be?"
"Whoo, it's no wonder Master Chen is famous throughout the Three Mountains and Five Lakes, as well as the Four Seas."
A group of cultivators couldn't help but quietly exclaim over there, their gaze never leaving the Ten Directions Annihilation Array even for a moment.
...
The huge formation within is in chaos, with mountains collapsing and the sea roaring. The raging winds and pouring rain have already stirred.
Amidst the rolling of countless massive rocks, magma, seawater, and other substances flung into the air by the air waves.
Chen Yun's gaze was firmly fixed on Liang Zhen, who was wielding a divine sword and dancing in the western sky.
Previously, he couldn't find the hidden spot of the Ten Directions Annihilation Array.
However, after sensing Liang Zhen's figure, Chen Yun gradually understood the situation.
Unexpectedly, the eye of the Ten Directions Annihilation Array was different from the first nine arrays, not fixed in any particular direction; the true eye of the formation must be Liang Zhen.
"Ten Directions Extinction?" Chen Yun suddenly realized, "If Daoism's Ten Directions refers to ten directions such as east, south, west and north, northeast, southeast, northwest and southwest as well as up and down. While Buddhism's Ten Directions refer to heaven, earth, east, west, south and north, life gate and death position as well as past and future."
"The Ten Directions in the Ten Directions Annihilation Formation are different from both Daoism and Buddhism," he quickly analyzed in his mind, "Heaven, earth, and man; southeast, southwest, northwest, northeast, east, west, south and north; up and down. And finally, the overall formation encompasses all. If heaven represents thunder, earth represents soil, human representation destruction under human power, wood represents wood element, fire represents fire element, metal represents metal element, water represents water element, yin and yang represents yin and yang principle. Then the overall formation should be the tenth attribute of creation."
After the true world was opened up by heaven and earth, it was maintained by the Great Dao.
Regardless of the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, stars, or all living things in the world, they are all under the control of the Great Dao.
This is the power of true creation, capable of operating invisibly.
As a formation, the Ten Directions Annihilation Array has already achieved the impressive feat of creating a small world.
However, as a formation, it cannot generate the "will" that sustains the operation of the entire world, so it requires manual control.
Then what is the eye of the formation? The answer is almost within reach!
Exactly, it is Liang Zhen himself. He has integrated his will into the Ten Directions Annihilation Array, becoming the core that maintains the operation of this small world.
It is precisely because Liang Zhen's will has been integrated into the Ten Directions Annihilation Array.
Therefore, he can control nearly all the power of this small world, achieving invincibility as long as the world itself is not destroyed.
"But this does not mean Liang Zhen is invincible." Chen Yun secretly thought, "His will has been integrated into the Ten Directions Annihilation Array, and his physical strength is still so powerful. As long as I can pose a threat to his physical body, the formation will collapse on its own!"
Finally, he saw a glimmer of hope in breaking through the array. He was overjoyed.
However, there is still one crucial question: how to break through the control of the heaven and earth by Liang Zhen and get close enough to his physical body to pose a significant threat?
Just as he was thinking, the statue of the stony path suddenly spat out a burst of high-temperature gas.
In a flash, the entire sky turned into an endless sea of flames, as if the whole world was ablaze!
The flames, like an ocean, surged downwards with fierce intensity.
Even before getting close, Chen Yun felt as if he was being roasted like a piece of meat, with beads of sweat streaming down his body.
"Unless I can refine the yin and yang formation, I won't be able to withstand this fire under normal circumstances."
Chen Yun sighed and had no choice but to stir the dao qi within him.
Bang!
A thunderous boom echoed suddenly.
In the next moment, his body shot up in the wind, soaring to a height of several tens of meters, with a blue face, sharp teeth, red hair, and terrifying appearance. He had wind and thunder wings on his back.
When Chen Yun manifested his true form, the thunder and fire power continuously surged out.
Instantly, the thunder and fire spread over a distance of several thousand miles, transforming into a series of "great rivers and great rivers" composed of lightning and fire.
Chen Yun let out a loud roar and used his arms to direct those thunder and fire towards the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of bolts of thunder and fire energy, like the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, were swirling and rushing towards the fiery seas falling from above.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The continuous, uninterrupted roar of violent explosions resounded as the two energies collided, and then a succession of even louder explosions echoed in the air.
For a moment, the small world became engulfed in the intense light of explosions, blindingly bright like a starburst in the night sky.
As each explosion occurred, terrifying shockwaves swept out in all directions with fierce intensity.
Any matter that touched the shockwave was instantly ground into dust, then agitated into particles!
Such terrifying power unleashed, it shook the sky and shuddered the earth!
Chen Yun's body was struck by wave after wave of shockwaves carrying infinite heat, but his powerful physique, enhanced by the strength of his dao form, bore down on these forces with immense resilience.
The crowd outside could only see Chen Yun covered in sparks, as if steel was being forged.
Chen Yun paid no heed to the power of the explosions. After withstanding the first wave of the fire sea's assault, he stepped on the Swift Light shoes and transformed into a streak of light, moving at an unimaginable speed beyond the speed of light, attacking Liang Zhen in the western sky.
At this time, the explosions behind were still like the tides of the sea pursuing.
The spectators saw a barely noticeable streak of light shooting forward from the front, while the fire sea behind was like a towering wave chasing after it.
At this moment, it seems like a long time, but in reality, it only took a moment.
In a breathless moment, Chen Yun, who had taken on the form of Thunder and Fire, arrived in front of Liang Zhen with the help of the Swift Light shoes.
His terrifying face twisted into a smile as he said, "Liang Daoxiong, I have discovered the array eye's location. Once I defeat you, I will be able to break the array!"
Liang Zhen seemed surprised that Chen Yun could find the array eye so quickly. Nevertheless, he remained calm. "Chen Daoxiong, I am impressed that you could find the array eye so swiftly. However, to defeat me... it's absolutely impossible!"
After saying that, Liang Zhen ignored it and continued to wield his divine sword to control the world's power.
The fire that had been chasing Chen Yun suddenly dissipated, replaced by endless torrents of howling winds.
These wild winds, once under Liang Zhen's control, instantly coalesced into tangible substance.
Chen Yun could only see countless wind blades, like sharp knives, floating in the air. Then tens of thousands of wind blades, coming from all directions, rushed towards him in a swarm.
Before these wind blades even approached, they had already sliced through mountains and rivers along their path!
Any person could tell how sharp these wind blades were.
Chen Yun didn't care, only wanted to attack Liang Zhen as quickly as possible and destroy the Ten Directions Annihilation Array.
He turned into a streak of light again, holding the Chijin Zhanyao Sword in one hand, and continuously forming hand seals with the other, emitting more intense thunderbolts than his form manifestation.
Chen Yun had been practicing the "Jade Pivot Ten Thunders" for a long time. Although he was still unable to unleash the Jade Pivot thunder of the first level, his palm thunder and the small five thunder were already refined to a high degree, with immense power.
At this moment, he executed the Small Five Thunder, as five different thunderous light phenomena of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth shone brightly and formed an awe-inspiring electric snake that slammed down towards Liang Zhen with a roar, like a galaxy breaking apart and the waters of the Milky Way pouring down.
Just as he was about to unleash the Small Five Thunder, tens of thousands of wind blades had already sliced into his body.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The clanging of countless metal impacts echoed from Chen Yun's body.
At the same time, the powerful impact force caused him to spark with fire all over his body.
The density of the sparks was as if there were tens of thousands of cutting machines slicing through something.
The crowd outside saw Chen Yun like a fireworks display, engulfed by the vast sea of sparks.
Despite this, the electric snake formed by the elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth had already struck Liang Zhen heavily.
Boom!
A deafening boom shook the small world violently.
Everyone saw a massive explosion of light that erupted from Liang Zhen's position.
This light was like a supernova explosion, emitting tens of thousands of beams of light similar to gamma rays, sweeping across in all directions.
Whatever was hit by the beam of light, whether it was air, water, rocks, or even the moon and stars, all turned into white mist instantly.
As if, this was in the process of destroying the world.
Cai Rugin watched this scene with profound shock.
Huang Wanyou was too stunned to draw a breath, though he was also a Master at the same level, he was merely at the early stage, and could hardly imagine that Chen Yun, whose power rivaled that of Master level later stage practitioners, could unleash such overwhelming force when manifesting his true form that it was almost capable of obliterating a portion of the continent.
Yes, Huang Wanyou could be very certain that if Chen Yun's thunder technique were to be used in the real world, it would undoubtedly sink an entire continent.
This has already exceeded the abilities of most late-stage Master practitioners.
Both Cai Rugin and Huang Wanyou, as the second strongest people at the scene behind Miaoshan Dao Ren, were deeply shocked.
Let alone the remaining Zhang Jianming, Mr. Geng, the cultivators on the other side, as well as Kong Xun, Gao Jixing, Xu Zhigao, and other common soldiers from both sides.
At this moment, everyone's hearts, deep within themselves, were all shaken by the awe-inspiring Small Five Thunder Law that Chen Yun had just unleashed, making them tremble with every fiber of their being.
The respect and fear everyone had for Chen Yun reached its peak!
