Chapter 105 Hope for Breaking the Formation
The realm of gods, Mount Luoxia.
Jag followed the main force into the blood mist.
As soon as he entered the range of the formation, Jeger released his divine sense, but his divine sense was also interfered with by the formation, and he could only detect very limited things.
"What's going on? My consciousness is being suppressed?"
"The power of the space domain has also been greatly reduced!"
The gods of the middle and lower realms all felt the influence of the formation on them.
The gods were used to using their divine sense and spatial domains to detect and guard against danger, but now that they were restricted, they were somewhat flustered.
"Calm down, this is the effect of the formation," Gu Yunhong said in a deep voice. "There is indeed an eighth-level formation in this mixed formation. All of you, listen to my instructions and don't run around. Otherwise, if you die, don't blame me!"
The powerful celestial beings immediately fell silent, cautiously observing their surroundings while moving closer to Gu Yunhong.
"Swish, swish, swish"
Within the blood mist, streaks of crimson blades darted through the air at high speed, their cold, crimson light flickering intermittently, emitting sharp, piercing sounds as they cut through the air.
Suddenly, a blood-red blade pierced through the mist and slashed straight toward Gu Yunhong.
"snort!"
Butler Wu reached out, and a space the size of a fist collapsed, like a small black hole, destroying the blood-red blade.
But this is just the beginning.
"Swish, swish, swish"
Countless whooshing sounds, like raindrops, came from all directions towards Juggernaut and his companions.
Those were countless blood-red blades.
These blood-red blades attacked everyone indiscriminately on the field.
Everyone used their skills to bombard these blood-red blades.
Three blood-red blades slashed towards Jeg, but Jeg threw punches in succession, his fiery fist shadows shattering the blood-red blades.
The shattered blade transformed into tiny specks of crimson energy, merging into the blood mist and disappearing.
"The attack power is probably at the top level of a mid-level Celestial God." Jag estimated the attack power of the blood-red blades in his mind and was slightly relieved. With his physical strength, even if he did not defend, these blood-red blades could not hurt him.
However, the other Celestial Gods were not as relaxed as Jeg. Many of them were just ordinary middle-level Celestial Gods, and most of them were just lower-level Celestial Gods. They could not withstand so many blood-red blades.
Ordinary central celestials can only contend with level four or five formations when they use their spatial domains. However, the blood mist in front of them is a hybrid formation that incorporates level eight formations. It is so powerful that it even greatly affects their spatial domains. If those blood-red blades were to attack, they could easily kill them.
"No!"
"Help!"
Many of the lower-level gods turned pale upon sensing the powerful attack of the blood-red blade.
Even some of the central gods were thrown into disarray.
"Boom boom boom"
Just then, a roaring sound rang out all around. Butler Wu and the two legion generals worked together to create a large area of space collapse around them, blocking the countless blood-red blades.
The powerful spatial force shredded countless blood-red blades.
Although a small number of crimson blades managed to break through the gaps in the collapsed space, the combined efforts of numerous powerful celestial beings allowed them to handle the situation with ease.
"Thank you, Steward Wu! Thank you, Generals!"
With the crisis averted, everyone expressed their gratitude loudly.
Butler Wu and the two generals dared not relax for a moment.
"Master Gu, this can't go on. Is there any way to break the formation?" Butler Wu asked.
"This maze is level six, and the killing formation is level seven. If they were set up individually, they wouldn't be difficult for me. But now we're in a mixed formation, with multiple formations complementing each other. The difficulty of breaking these two formations is approaching that of level eight formations. I think it won't be something I can do in a short time," Gu Yunhong said in a deep voice.
"So what do we do now?" Both generals' expressions changed slightly.
"Don't rush. Liu Yun and the others have only been here a short time. Let's join them first. They have four upper-level celestial gods with them, and with us, they can protect themselves. In addition, there are the people that Miss Yu led earlier. Once we are all together, this formation will be unable to harm us. We can deplete the formation's power while calmly breaking it." Gu Yunhong revealed a confident smile on his face.
"Although I can't break this formation in a short time, I can still find people. Make sure everyone follows my instructions. If anyone acts on their own and gets lost in the maze, I won't have time to rescue them," Gu Yunhong said.
"Master Gu, rest assured, we will follow your arrangements," the two generals said.
Led by Gu Yunhong, the group began to move forward slowly.
They sometimes moved forward, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, and sometimes even backward.
They seemed to be moving forward aimlessly, but if someone could ignore the obstruction of the fog, they would see that, under Gu Yunhong's leadership, they had been moving straight ahead.
However, being in a maze, everyone's senses were affected by the formation, making them think they were moving in different directions.
As the group moved forward, they soon saw four figures ahead, namely Master Liu Yun and Zuo Guansheng.
"Master Gu Yunhong!"
The four men were delighted to see Gu Yunhong.
None of the four of them were injured. After all, they were all upper-level celestial gods. Although Liu Yun could not break the formation, the formation could not harm them either.
After everyone gathered, Gu Yunhong told the four of them his plan, and they all readily agreed.
"Junior Sister and the others have been in the formation for several days now. The formation's range is quite large, so finding them won't be easy," Zuo Guansheng said, frowning.
When they were outside the formation, they could see that it covered an area of several miles. If it were not affected by the formation, they could easily find Gongyang Yu and the others by spreading their divine senses. However, it was not so easy for them to find people inside the formation.
Gu Yunhong laughed and said, "It's alright, we can just wear them down. We'll advance while attacking in all directions to deplete the formation's energy. I'll study this formation carefully. If we can find its base, we can break it. Judging from the current situation, this mixed formation should consist of a level 6 maze, a level 7 killing formation, and a level 8 trapping formation. Although it can trap upper-level celestial beings, killing them is basically impossible."
Hearing Gu Yunhong's analysis, Zuo Guansheng and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since their lives are not in danger, it doesn't matter if it takes a little time. Celestial beings have endless lifespans and don't care about a little time.
"Let's go, let's find Miss Yu first. If we make a big commotion, Miss Yu and the others will find out and try to reunite with us," Gu Yunhong said.
"it is good."
No one had any objections.
"Master Gu, have you discerned any clues about this formation? Are you confident you can break it?"
Zuo Guansheng looked around, wary of any possible attack, and asked.
"We don't have any leads yet, but we've seen a glimmer of hope," Gu Yunhong said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the surrounding high-ranking gods couldn't help but look over excitedly.
Gu Yunhong explained, "Generally speaking, a formation only has one base. The reason why a mixed formation is difficult to break is that a mixed formation can have multiple bases. You have to find all the bases before you can break it. But the formation in Tianhuo City is a bit strange."
"What's strange about it?" Liu Yun pressed.
He also studied formations, so naturally he was very interested.
Gu Yunhong said, "After entering the formation, I have been observing it and trying to break it. Based on what I see so far, this mixed formation may only have one formation base."
"Only one? Why?"
Gu Yunhong shook his head: "I don't know, but this gives us a chance. Level 8 formations are hard to break, and level 8 mixed formations are even harder to break. But this mixed formation contains level 6 and level 7 formations. Although their difficulty in breaking is close to that of level 8 formations in the mixed formation, they are not level 8 after all. I can break it if I spend some time."
Gu Yunhong's eyes gleamed with confidence.
Even Zuo Guansheng's usually cold expression showed a rare hint of excitement.
Yes, if it were an eighth-level formation, Gu Yunhong wouldn't be entirely confident, but because this mixed formation only has one formation base, it gave them an opportunity.
They don't need to pay any attention to the level 8 formation in the mixed formation. They only need to find the base of the level 6 maze and the level 7 killing formation, because the base of these three formations is the same. Finding the base of the level 6 maze is equivalent to finding the base of the level 8 trapping formation. This is the weakness of the mixed formation of Tianhuo City!
Gu Yunhong's words invigorated Zuo Guansheng and the other upper-level gods.
Jag and many of the middle gods were at the rear. They were unaware of the upper gods' conversation and simply followed orders.
While keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, Jag himself displayed what he saw to Breler.
Panlong Universe, Xuanwu Continent.
Jag's water-based avatar turned its gaze from the lake to Breler.
"Breler, how's it going? Can you break this magic circle?"
Breller looked at the scene on the lake with a mixture of shock and excitement in his eyes.
"May I ask, Lord God? Which plane is the scene on the lake from? It feels different from the Supreme Plane and the God Plane," Breler asked curiously.
Jag said with a slightly stern face, "You don't need to ask that. Just focus on breaking the magic circle."
Breler sensed a hint of displeasure in Jag's tone, quickly suppressed his curiosity, and repeatedly said, "Yes, Lord God."
Jag's expression softened, and he asked, "What do you think of this magic circle?"
Breller looked at the scene on the lake, thought for a moment, and said, "This magic circle is very strange. It should be a combination of three magic circles. I can roughly understand the intricacies of two of them, but the third one seems to contain the power of space. God, I have studied magic circles for billions of years and have also thought about adding the power of space to magic circles, but I have never succeeded and eventually gave up. I always thought it was impossible, but I never expected that someone in countless planes could actually do it. The creator of this magic circle is more knowledgeable about magic circles than I am."
Breller's expression was complex, a mixture of sighing and excitement.
Sighing is because you realize you are not as good as others, while excitement comes from seeing a goal to strive for.
Jag frowned and asked, "Can't it be broken?"
Breller smiled and said, "That's not it either."
Jag's eyes lit up.
Breller continued, "Every magic circle has a core that provides energy to it. Although I can't see through the magic circle that contains spatial power, I can understand the other two. God, give me some time, I can find the core of the magic circle."
Jag was overjoyed: "Great!"
If Breler can find a way to break the formation, then he will have a chance to complete this urgent mission.
"It seems that the magic arrays of the Panlong Universe and the arrays of the main universe have many things in common. Breler's array strength is probably at the level of a seventh-level array in the God Realm. It's just that the Panlong Universe cannot cultivate the laws of space, so it cannot reach the level of an eighth-level array," Jeger thought to himself.
The realm of gods, Mount Luoxia.
A deadly trap lurked within the thick fog of blood.
In one part of the formation, an old man with triangular eyes and wearing a red robe sat cross-legged. A broken scroll floated in front of him, emitting a faint red light that was faintly connected to the surrounding blood mist.
Seven figures stood beside the old man, each exuding a powerful aura, indicating they were experts at the upper level of the Celestial God realm. Behind them were hundreds of other Celestial God experts.
These people are all powerful figures from Skyfire City.
A handsome young man with long, blood-red hair glanced at the triangular-eyed old man and said calmly, "Old Monster Shi, how's the situation now?"
Old Stone chuckled: "Just as expected, almost all the major Celestial God powerhouses of Gongyang City have arrived. Using Gongyang Jade as bait, we have indeed lured them all here."
Upon hearing this, a bald, upper-level deity immediately said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's make our move! If we let them join forces with Gongyang Yu, things will become much more difficult!"
Old Stone shrugged: "I have no objection. If you decide to take action, I can control the formation to cooperate with you. It's just a pity that this formation diagram is incomplete. If it were complete, when activated, it would be a mixed formation of an eighth-level maze, an eighth-level killing formation, and an eighth-level trapping formation, which could directly suppress and kill a powerful upper-level celestial god."
"This is enough for now. Let's deal with Gu Yunhong first. He's the only one in Gongyang City who could possibly break the formation. Once we've dealt with him, we won't have any worries about the future," the handsome young man with blood-red hair said coldly.
"it is good."
"Set off!"
One by one, powerful celestial beings entered the blood mist. Unlike the Gongyang City side, the formation had no effect on them; on the contrary, it was assisting them.
Within the formation.
Jag followed the crowd.
He was waiting for Breler to figure out the location of the formation's base, while ahead, Gu Yunhong was also doing his best to break the formation.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a cloud of blood mist rolled in, and figures appeared in front of the crowd. There were a total of seven figures standing at the front.
The moment these people appeared, Zuo Guansheng and the others tensed up.
"It's you!" Zuo Guansheng stared intently at the figures that appeared, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"Zuo Guansheng, we've been waiting for you for a long time!" the handsome man with blood-red hair sneered.
Zuo Guansheng snorted coldly, looking at the handsome man with blood-red hair: "Very good, Du Jiu, I didn't expect you to dare to show yourselves directly. If I kill you, this formation will collapse on its own!"
As Zuo Guansheng spoke, he simultaneously transmitted his voice to the several upper-level celestial beings around him: "Everyone, don't fight them head-on. They have the support of an array and the advantage of terrain. Let's protect Master Gu and try to help him break the array as soon as possible!"
Gu Yunhong also transmitted his voice, saying, "Don't worry, I've pretty much figured out the true nature of this formation, and I'll be able to break it soon."
"really?"
"Haha, Master Gu is truly amazing!"
"Master Gu, rest assured, we will definitely cover your escape from the formation!"
The gods of the upper realm of Gongyang City were all excited.
Gu Yunhong said, "About fifteen minutes. If you all can hold on for fifteen minutes, I will definitely—"
Gu Yunhong's voice transmission stopped abruptly halfway through.
Everyone turned around in shock and found that Gu Yunhong's head had been pierced by a dagger. Gu Yunhong's eyes were wide open, and he seemed unable to believe that he had been ambushed.
The dagger was in Liu Yun's hand.
"Liu Yun!"
Enraged, Zuo Guansheng slapped Liu Yun in the face.
Liu Yun was prepared. After thrusting the dagger, he didn't even bother to check on Gu Yunhong's injuries. He didn't even pull out the dagger, but simply abandoned it and fled towards Du Jiu and the others.
The powerful upper-level gods of Gongyang City were furious. They never expected Liu Yun to be a spy for Tianhuo City. Seeing Gu Yunhong being ambushed, they all angrily took action.
"Boom boom boom"
Various attacks were launched at Liu Yun.
"Swish, swish, swish"
Countless blood-red blades appeared from the blood mist, blocking Liu Yun's path and deflecting various attacks.
"Haha, Zuo Guansheng, you won't be able to harm the people of my Skyfire City!"
The handsome man with long, blood-red hair laughed loudly and charged forward with the other upper gods of Skyfire City.
"boom"
With the help of countless blood-red blades, Liu Yun successfully retreated from the group attack of Zuo Guansheng and others. His right hand was severed at the shoulder, and a bloody hole appeared on his right chest. He looked very disheveled, but these injuries were nothing to the upper gods. He could recover by circulating the power of the gods.
On the contrary, Gu Yunhong was in great danger; Liu Yun's sneak attack struck his soul.
Gu Yunhong's eyes were lifeless as his body fell downwards.
"Master Gu!"
Zuo Guansheng and others were in a great hurry.
"Buzz"
Just then, a powerful spatial force enveloped the area, and the space itself seemed to freeze.
Gu Yunhong's body began to fly upwards, ignoring the influence of the formation, and went straight through the blood mist to the sky above the formation.
At this moment, above the blood mist, hovered a middle-aged man dressed in white, who was none other than Lord Gongyang.
Lord Gongyang had been keeping a close eye on the battle. A God-King's divine sense could cover the entire God Realm and he could teleport. After discovering that Liu Yun was a spy, he teleported directly here.
Gu Yunhong's body flew to the front of Lord Gongyang City.
Lord Gongyang, his face grim, softened slightly after examining Gu Yunhong's injuries with his divine sense.
"The soul was severely damaged, but it did not completely dissipate; the true spirit still remains."
For powerful celestial beings, as long as their soul remains, there are plenty of ways to restore it. Even if their soul is scattered, as long as their true spirit remains, they can be resurrected using rare and precious materials.
Gu Yunhong was a highly valued weapon refiner of Holy Golden Mountain. If he were to perish here, Lord Gongyang would have a hard time explaining it to Holy Golden Mountain.
"Liu Yun!"
The Lord of Gongyang City's eyes revealed murderous intent. He never expected that Gongyang City's top weapon refiner would be a spy from Tianhuo City.
"Haha, Ram, what's this? Are you going to make a move?"
A strange, sarcastic laugh rang out, and a fiery red figure suddenly appeared in the air dozens of meters away from the city lord of Gongyang.
It was a thin old man shrouded in a fiery red robe, his hair, eyebrows, and beard all a flame-red hue.
"Heavenly Fire!" Lord Gongyang snorted coldly, his face not showing any kindness, because the thin old man was none other than Lord Heavenly Fire, with whom he had fought for many years.
"Gongyang, I've brought out the Blood Blade Formation fragments I obtained from the Burial God Temple this time. I won't let you ruin my plans!" The City Lord of Tianhuo looked at City Lord Gongyang with a smile, but there was no hint of a smile in his eyes.
"However—" the Lord of Skyfire City changed the subject, "I won't go too far. How about this, I can allow you to rescue your daughter? As for the others, don't even think about it."
Lord Gongyang narrowed his eyes: "You're very confident?"
"Haha, why wouldn't I be confident? Your only hope of breaking the formation, Gu Yunhong, is already seriously injured. How can the rest of you break this Blood Blade Formation? If you can't break the formation, none of them will escape; they will be killed one by one by my men!"
"Hmph, it's not certain who will emerge victorious!" said Lord Gongyang.
"Since you're still not giving up, then we'll just have to watch." The Lord of Tianhuo City was in a good mood, smiling as he watched the battle below. His eyes seemed to pierce through the thick blood mist and see Zuo Guansheng and the others.
Lord Gongyang was also paying attention to the situation within the formation. Although his tone was very firm, he actually didn't have much confidence.
"They only rescued my daughter? Impossible!"
Lord Gongyang knew Lord Tianhuo's thoughts; the other party was determined to severely weaken Gongyang City this time.
"If Guansheng and the others perish here, my Gongyang City will be unable to compete with Tianhuo City for a long time to come. Hmph, at worst, we'll fight Tianhuo!"
Lord Gongyang secretly resolved that if Zuo Guansheng and the others were unable to break the formation, he would have no choice but to intervene.
In the blood mist.
Seeing Gu Yunhong fly out of the formation, Steward Wu and the others realized that it was Lord Gongyang who had made a move.
"With the City Lord's intervention, Master Gu should be fine, but City Lord Tianhuo will definitely stop the City Lord from breaking the formation. We still have to rely on ourselves." Steward Wu said solemnly, transmitting his voice to Zuo Guansheng and the others.
Zuo Guansheng and the others looked at each other, their gazes gradually hardening.
Liu Yun's betrayal caught them off guard, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for them. However, it was impossible for them to admit defeat so easily.
Zuo Guansheng said, "With Master Gu gone, it's basically impossible for us to find and destroy the array base. There's only one way now: defeat Du Jiu and his group head-on, and attack every part of the array with all our might to accelerate the consumption of its energy. If we can exceed the limit of the array's energy, we can make the array collapse."
"This is the only way," said the sixth disciple of the City Lord of Gongyang, who was wearing a square scarf on his head. "Although it is very difficult."
"Hmph, what are you afraid of? Kill them! Kill them all!" Luo Xiaorong, the third disciple of the Gongyang City Lord with two pigtails tied in the air, swallowed the entire candied hawthorn in her hand and transmitted her voice fiercely.
"Prepare for battle!" Zuo Guansheng coldly watched the Skyfire City side.
The upper gods of Gongyang City quickly relayed the order to the middle and lower gods.
Everyone had witnessed Liu Yun's sneak attack and realized that the situation was dire.
"Master Liu Yun is actually from Skyfire City!"
"This is it! Master Liu Yun has betrayed us, and Master Gu is seriously injured. We've essentially lost two Upper Heavenly God level experts. Without these two formation masters, we can't break the formation. How... how are we supposed to fight this?"
Anxiety spread among the powerful celestial beings.
Some of the guest retainers' eyes flickered, and some even began to think about defecting to Skyfire City.
Jag stood silently in the crowd. He heard the telepathic commands from the upper gods and had not expected Skyfire City to be so well prepared.
However, he himself was not too flustered.
After all, he can return to the Panlong Universe at any time via the roulette wheel, without worrying about perishing.
He didn't want to return unless absolutely necessary; he wanted to find an opportunity to complete this urgent mission.
"Is there any way?" Jag asked, pondering.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.
At the same time, in the Panlong Universe, Breler spoke a sentence to his water-based god avatar.
"God, I know where the base of this magic circle is!"
