Chapter 360

Breaking the Array

A black light shot out from between his brows and turned into a Xiao Hei dog. Xiao Hei crossed his little paws and chuckled, "Although this illusion array is quite mysterious, it's not difficult for this dragon lord!"

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Zhuowen nodded lightly and sighed in his heart. He understood Xiao Hei's character quite well. Although this fellow was unreliable at times, he would not be careless at critical moments.

"Mm!

This dragon lord will first investigate this desert. If I can find the eye of this illusion array, then it'll be easy to break it! "Xiao Hei chuckled.

Whoosh!

Blacky took a step forward and turned into a black ray of light that shot into the sky. It carefully observed the situation in the desert from thousands of miles above the ground!

Zhuowen did not disturb Xiao Hei. Instead, he sat cross-legged on a weathered rock and closed his eyes to feel the quail-egg-sized power of heaven and earth in his dantian.

He realized that after entering the Yuan Qi Tower, the speed at which the power of heaven and earth in his dantian absorbed Yuan Qi had greatly increased. Fortunately, the Yuan Qi around the sandstone island was rich enough, so Zhuowen did not feel strained at all!

"With this power of heaven and earth in my dantian, I'm afraid that advancing to the Ultimate Emperor Realm will not be difficult for me!

However, I've heard from Xiao Hei that when a cultivator advances to the Ultimate Emperor Realm, there's a certain chance that a tribulation of heaven and earth will descend!

Moreover, the more heaven-defying a cultivator is, the greater the chance of this happening!

According to Xiao Hei's guess, it's very likely that a tribulation of heaven and earth will descend upon me when I advance to the Ultimate Emperor Realm. I need to accumulate and prepare well! "

At this moment, Zhuowen's face was full of caution. A tribulation of heaven and earth could be considered a test for heaven-defying cultivators!

This kind of test was extremely terrifying and powerful. Even some heaven-defying cultivators could lose their lives in a tribulation of heaven and earth if they were not careful.

In fact, for Zhuowen, who had the power of heaven and earth in his dantian, he could break through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm at any time. The only thing that he was afraid of was the tribulation of heaven and earth. If he did not make preparations, it would be a tragedy if he lost his life in the tribulation of heaven and earth!

"If my Jade Body Tempering Technique can reach the seventh level, the strength of my body will be comparable to an ordinary Earth-Rank Spirit Treasure. Even an all-out attack from an Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator would not be able to break my body.... Then, I'll be even more confident in overcoming the tribulation of heaven and earth!

It's just that Quenching Crystal Jade is too rare. I wonder if there's such a treasure in the Essence Qi Tower? "

Zhuo Wen could not help but shake his head and sigh when he thought about the rarity and preciousness of the Refined Crystal Jade. He had once searched for the Refined Crystal Jade in the Mysterious Treasure Pavilion and even asked the person in charge there, but he did not find any clues.

Whoosh!

Just as Zhuowen was thinking about the tribulation of heaven and earth in his heart, Xiao Hei suddenly descended from the sky and arrived in front of Zhuowen. He said with a serious expression, "Kid!

I'm afraid this illusory formation is not that simple. "

"Oh?

Not simple?

Have you found the core of the formation? "Zhuowen was startled and hurriedly asked.

"I've found it, but this dragon lord has observed for a while and found that there is more than one great formation in this area. In other words, there is an even more powerful formation outside this illusory formation. Judging from the aura overflowing from that formation, it should be an imprisonment formation." Xiao Hei said with a rather ugly expression.

"There's another formation?

This is only a desert, but there are so many formations set up here. I'm afraid this place is very important to the person who set up the formations!

However, let's break the formation core of the illusory formation first! "Zhuowen said calmly after pondering for a moment.

"Mm!

Then come with me. "

Xiao Hei nodded seriously. Then, he hooked his little claws and broke through the void and flew into the distance.

Zhuowen unfolded his lightning wings and followed behind Xiao Hei at a leisurely pace. The two of them flew for about an hour and soon arrived at the formation core.

When Zhuowen arrived at the destination, he could not help but be stunned. This was because there was a huge stone tablet standing in the middle of the place. This stone tablet was dozens of feet tall, and there were some complicated symbols carved on the front of the stone tablet. These symbols were very obscure and messy, and Zhuowen could not understand them at all.

"It's really a huge stone tablet?

Xiao Hei, is this stone tablet the core of this illusory formation? "Zhuo Wen looked up at the stone tablet that was like a mountain range, and a trace of shock appeared in his eyes.

"This Dragon Lord can feel that the foundation of this illusory formation is made up of this stone tablet. This stone tablet looks ordinary on the surface, but I can feel that the energy that maintains this illusory formation should be flowing out from this stone tablet. As long as this stone tablet is broken, the entire illusory formation will be difficult to maintain. At that time, it will break by itself." Xiao Hei smiled faintly.

"Then I'll give it a try!"

As he spoke, Zhuowen patted his Qiankun bag and took out a huge blood-red long spear. A clear sound of the spear suddenly rang out. Then, Zhuowen took a step forward and the spear was like a swimming dragon as it pierced towards the bottom of the stone tablet.

Clang!

A clear sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out. Zhuowen felt the web between his thumb and forefinger go numb. Then, he could not help but retreat continuously under the effect of the huge recoil. He retreated for more than ten steps before he could barely stop his body.

"What a tough stone tablet. The Demon Moon Dragon Spine Spear is a high-grade Soul Treasure. Yet, it did not leave a single mark on the surface of this stone tablet." Zhuowen's pupils shrunk as he looked at the stone tablet that was not damaged at all.

"Heh heh!

Do you think that something that can be used as the formation core will be so weak?

Brat, you'd better show me your true strength. Otherwise, don't even think about breaking this stone tablet. "Xiao Hei hovered at one side and sneered.

Zhuowen shrugged his shoulders and did not care about Xiao Hei's sarcastic remarks. His eyes stared intently at the stone tablet. His right hand tightened on the spear's hilt as he took another step forward. Then, he leaped and directly jumped onto the top of the stone tablet.

At the same time, the countless acupuncture points on Zhuowen's body suddenly opened. Streams of rich Blood Qi suddenly gushed out from his acupuncture points and gathered around the Demon Moon Dragon Spine Spear.

"Watch how I break you. Demon Moon Secret Manual Fourth Style: Blood Rupture Style!"

The Blood Rupture Style was the most violent style in the Demon Moon Secret Manual. At the same time, it was also the most powerful style. When the spear was unleashed, it was as if a sea of blood had collapsed and green stones were splattered with blood.

Rumble!

The spear was suddenly thrust out and the space behind Zhuowen immediately split open. Soon after, a huge blood colored spear shadow that was wrapped in an endless sea of blood suddenly shot out. With a 'swoosh' sound, it violently smashed against the stone tablet.

Boom!

The instant the blood colored spear shadow made contact with the stone tablet, countless gales were forcefully created within a hundred mile radius of the stone tablet. Yellow sand that filled the sky raged within this hundred mile radius, transforming into an extremely terrifying sandstorm.

Crack!

A clear sound suddenly rang out. Soon after, traces of cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the stone tablet that was hundreds of feet large. Soon after, these traces of cracks rapidly spread. Finally, the stone tablet collapsed inch by inch.

As soon as the stone tablet was broken, Zhuo Wen immediately discovered that the surrounding environment had changed abruptly. Although it was still a desert, Zhuo Wen looked as far as he could and saw a lush green oasis in the distance. The surrounding environment was no longer the boundless yellow desert scene.

"Haha!

It has indeed been broken. There seems to be an oasis thousands of miles away. It seems that there is an ancient remnant living there!

When the time comes, we can go to the oasis and ask about this sandstone island. "Looking at the oasis in the distance, Zhuowen said in a carefree mood.

"Yes!

However, there is still a confinement array in the area you are in. If you do not break that confinement array, you will still not be able to leave! "Xiao Hei crossed her little claws and said indifferently.

"Let's talk about the confinement array later!

I will go and meet up with Gu Xin and Hu Wuying first. When the time comes, we will think of a way to break this confinement array. "

After Xiao Hei's reminder, Zhuowen discovered that within a thousand miles of the stone tablet, there was a layer of transparent barrier that was faintly discernible. Clearly, this barrier should be the confinement array that Xiao Hei had mentioned.

"Then do as you wish!

This confinement array is actually not that strong. With your strength, if you use some trump cards, you can definitely break it with brute force. "Xiao Hei did not object. She spread out her claws and turned into a black light that entered between Zhuowen's eyebrows.

With a step, Zhuowen unfolded his lightning wings and left this place. However, what he did not notice was that there was an extremely deep and narrow cave below the shattered stone tablet. There was a faint trace of evil aura slowly flowing out from the depths of this cave.

Thousands of miles away from the stone tablet, there was an oasis that spanned dozens of miles. There were many simple houses built from trees in this oasis, and there were many figures in these houses.

There were not many people in this oasis, only about a few thousand people. However, there was a slight difference between the people in this oasis and Zhuowen's group. Everyone here had a deep black brand between their eyebrows. The black brand looked like a ferocious beast with a sinister face, and it was quite a strange sight.

At the center of the oasis was a rather large lake. In the middle of the lake, there was a rather magnificent white stone palace quietly sitting in the middle of the lake. This palace was the biggest highlight of this oasis.

Everyone in the oasis looked at the palace in the middle of the lake with reverence and worship in their eyes. This was because this palace was the protector of this oasis. Without this palace, they would not be able to survive in this desert.

Inside the white stone palace in the middle of the lake was a rather spacious hall. In the middle of the hall sat a huge stone statue of a woman. Below the stone statue, a beautiful woman dressed in a light veil was kneeling in front of the stone statue. Behind the beautiful woman were two rows of young men and women dressed in the same light veil, their faces filled with reverence.

Crack!

A crisp sound suddenly rang out. Then, under everyone's stunned gazes, the stone statue in the middle of the hall began to crack inch by inch …
