Chapter 1098

There were more than ten thousand people in the group, and nearly a third of them had died along the way. Even so, there were still several thousand people who had successfully ascended the stairway to this world.

Lv Peng was the last to come up among these thousands of people. He had stayed on the stairway for several days, so his harvest was naturally the greatest.

He had just come out, so he didn't know what earth-shattering event had happened in this world. He walked slowly, slowly comprehending the formation dao imparted by Elder Hiroshi.

This time, he was extremely lucky and had encountered a great opportunity. He was even more grateful to Elder Hiroshi.

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air came from the horizon. A sharp voice entered Lv Peng's ears. It sounded like someone was running away. He looked up at the horizon, thinking that the other party was being pursued. However, when he saw who it was, his expression immediately changed. "Zhang Haotian, it's you. You're running away."

Although Zhang Haotian's combat strength was inferior to Zi Chen's, he was definitely an existence comparable to a spirit body. Apart from Zi Chen, who else in this world could make him run away?

Lv Peng was surprised and puzzled, so he asked, "Look at you being in such a hurry. Who's chasing you?"

Seeing the leisurely Lv Peng, Zhang Haotian glared and said angrily, "Why are you here? Everyone's looking for you. Come with me quickly."

This was the first time Zhang Haotian had glared at him since they met. His complexion instantly changed. Of course, this wasn't because Zhang Haotian was being rude, but because of his anxious expression. It was clear that something urgent had happened, something major.

He hurriedly asked, "What's going on? What happened? Where's Zi Chen?"

Zi Chen was their leader and their backbone, so Lv Peng asked Zi Chen first. As long as Zi Chen was here, everything would be fine.

"Zi Chen's in trouble. He's about to die."

In one sentence, the sky had fallen. Their backbone had fallen.

Without further ado, the two went on their way. Along the way, Zhang Haotian used the fastest and most concise words to tell Lv Peng what had happened.

"Damn it, this group of untrustworthy villains. They're a great force, yet they're going back on their words and are so shameless." Lv Peng was furious.

Zhang Haotian's expression was extremely cold, and his killing intent was bone-chilling. "After we rescue Zi Chen, all the people and forces involved in this matter in this world must die."

Lv Peng's face was filled with anger, but he knew that it was useless to continue condemning the major powers. If condemnation could kill, who knew how many people would die every day. Lv Peng's expression slowly calmed down as he asked, "Have you notified the Demon Ape and the others?"

Zhang Haotian nodded and said, "Yes, everyone is rushing there. Su Mengyao is guarding there."

Lv Peng thought that they should be able to save Zi Chen. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked with a frown, "What kind of formation is trapping Zi Chen? Although his attainments in formations are not at the grandmaster level, he is still at the master level. He also has the Yin-Yang Eyes and the Delusion-breaker Eyes of the Devil Ape. Can it be that the formation can't be broken even with the combination of the two?"

Zhang Haotian shook his head and said, "I don't know. It's a very strange array formation that was created by those assassins. The Devil Ape said that there are no flaws on the outside and that it has to be cracked from the inside. However, the array formation is very powerful. Zi Chen doesn't seem to have the time to crack it."

"An array formation created by an assassin." Lv Peng suddenly had an ominous feeling.

By the time Zhang Haotian and Lv Peng arrived, the Devil Ape and company had already arrived. When they saw Lv Peng, they surrounded him and looked at him hopefully.

Lv Peng had an apologetic look on his face before looking at the array in front of him. No one said a word, afraid that they would disturb Lv Peng.

The apologetic look on Lv Peng's face dissipated as his expression slowly turned solemn. Moments later, he sighed and said, "It's forbidden to kill."

"Forbidden to kill." Everyone had clearly never heard of this term.

"It's actually forbidden to kill. These darn things. I should have guessed it long ago," the Perfect Body cursed.

Apart from the Perfect Body, Ape Qilin and Ape Dragon were also there. When they heard about the forbidden killing array, their faces turned pale.

This was the most powerful array formation of the Sha race. It was said to have a 655% chance of killing the enemy. From its birth until now, almost no one had broken it.

"It's over, it's over. The forbidden killing array formation is said to have a 655% chance of killing the enemy. It has never been broken." The three people who knew the might of the forbidden killing array had despair in their eyes.

However, the others didn't know. They didn't believe it when they heard it as they looked at Lv Peng.

Lv Peng frowned and said, "The forbidden killing array is indeed very troublesome, but to say that it has a 655% success rate and has never been broken is a little exaggerated. It's just that compared to other array formations, the forbidden killing array is relatively difficult to crack."

The Forbidden Killing Formation was a brand new term in Lv Peng's mind. Before he ascended the Stairway to Heaven, he knew nothing about it. But on the Stairway to Heaven, he met Elder Mo and listened to his teachings again. Then, he followed Elder Mo in the Formation for dozens of years, comprehending the Formation Dao. Elder Mo taught him everything he knew, and Lv Peng humbly asked for advice.

As for the Sha clan's famous forbidden killing formation, Elder Hiroshi had specially studied it and concluded that there was no such thing as a killing formation in this world. No matter how powerful the formation was, there would always be a chance for survival. The key was whether you could find that chance.

Elder Mo didn't know how to set up the forbidden killing array because it was extremely complicated. It required many array platforms, and it wasn't something that could be completed by a single person. Although he didn't know how to set it up, Elder Mo knew how to crack it. This was because he knew where the chance of survival was through studying countless array formations.

Upon hearing Lv Peng's words, everyone's eyes immediately lit up. The three Perfect Bodies looked at Lv Peng in shock and asked in shock, "Lv Peng, do you really have a way to crack the array?"

Lv Peng looked at the array in front of him and shook his head. "This array is extraordinary. It can even trap those at the Earth Essence Realm. I'm weak and can't crack it, but I can open a crack and find a chance of survival. Zi Chen can use this chance to come out."

Initially, everyone was in despair when they heard Lv Peng's words, but his subsequent words rekindled their hope.

"Then hurry up and crack the array and let Zi Chen out. He has already activated the Flames of Life once. I'm afraid he won't be able to last much longer," Su Mengyao said anxiously.

"This matter can't be rushed. We have to contact Zi Chen first, then communicate with Zi Chen. Other than that, we have to think of a way to approach the array."

These were two extremely crucial problems. Although Lv Peng could find a chance of survival, he couldn't maintain it for long. The opportunity was fleeting, so he had to let Zi Chen be prepared.

Other than that, the people from the large factions were still guarding the array. Everyone had to rush over.

In the array, after the Flames of Life dissipated, the array was activated again. Zi Chen was injured again. During the process, two more assassins died under his spear.

Zi Chen stood on the ground and tried his best to move in a small area to reduce his consumption. He knew that the people outside would definitely think of a way to save him.

"Zi Chen." Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in Zi Chen's mind. It came from Longhu.

"Longhu, how is it? Do you have a way to break the array?" Zi Chen's heart skipped a beat.

"Lv Peng is looking for a chance of survival, but he's not sure where it is. He needs your cooperation."

"How?"

"This is a huge array with a radius of ten miles. You need to walk to the center of the array. It's very likely that the array core is there."

"Okay, I'll go now."

"Be careful, don't let anyone discover your intentions."

Zi Chen activated his Yin-Yang Eyes and walked toward the center of the array. Of course, he was retreating while fighting. At the same time, he would take the initiative to launch an attack somewhere in the void.

"Launch an attack thirty meters away and thirty meters in the air. See what you can see."

After a while, Zi Chen said, "I can't see anything."

"Two more meters."

"There's a trace."

"Launch an attack forty meters behind you."

"Thirty-five meters to the south. Use your Yin-Yang Eyes when you attack."

Under Lv Peng's instructions, Longhu and Zi Chen continued to communicate. Lv Peng was outside looking for the array core, looking for a chance of survival.

"Are you done?" Zi Chen's voice became weak.

After dodging two sword beams with great difficulty, Longhu's voice sounded. "Wait, it's almost done."

While Lv Peng was searching for a chance of survival, Zhang Haotian and the others were discussing how to create chaos and rescue Zi Chen.

"No, we have too few people. We're far inferior to the Five-Element faction." This was the voice of the Perfect Body.

The ape dragon said, "We don't have many people from the ape lineage either, but I'll try to negotiate with the Dragonman lineage. If he's willing to help, with the entire demon race, our chances will be higher."

"There are also people from the Buddhists. I'll find Mingxin and ask them for help."

"Although there are quite a number of people, we're far inferior to the large factions. I'll find the Fiend Princess."

As soon as he said that, everyone looked at Zhang Haotian in surprise. Clearly, they still remembered the scene of the Fiend Ape blocking the Princess.

"If Zi Chen comes out, he will definitely kill the large factions. It's beneficial to her. This woman is very smart. She should agree to our request," Zhang Haotian said.

The conversation above was done via voice transmission.

Immediately following that, a voice sounded in the Princess's sea of consciousness. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. "Oh, you need my help."

"Not just Her Highness, but all of you demons," Zhang Haotian corrected.

The Princess looked ahead and didn't look at Zhang Haotian. She smiled and said, "Is this considered begging me? I remember that someone previously surrounded me and took a lot of things from me."

Zhang Haotian ignored her subsequent words and couldn't be bothered to explain. He said, "It's not a request, it's a cooperation. If Zi Chen comes out, he will definitely kill everyone from the large factions. This will only be beneficial for your upcoming trip."

"But Zi Chen is just too strong. He's even stronger than those spirit bodies. Do you think I'll release a powerful existence that's a threat to me?"

Zhang Haotian cursed the woman inwardly for being cunning, but time was of the essence. He could only reply, "I guarantee that Zi Chen won't attack you demons after he comes out. Furthermore, if we discover anything good, we can let you have it once."

"It's not letting, it's helping," the Princess corrected.

Although there was only one word difference, the meaning was too different. Moreover, the meaning of 'helping' was broader, including 'letting'.

It was obviously raising the price, but Zhang Haotian could only agree. "Okay, deal."

That was because compared to Zi Chen's life, those worldly possessions were nothing.

After discussing the details as quickly as possible, Longhu's voice was heard again. "Fourteen meters in front of you, thirteen meters high, there's a weak spot. That spot will take a lot less attacks. We'll open a gap there."

"Wait for my voice transmission. That's the only way to break the formation."
