C169 Enter

One could imagine that the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy required to operate a formation was already frightening enough, but there were countless formations circulating at the same time.

Furthermore, it was constantly operating, and it had not stopped even after countless years. It was still eating away at the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy in the Returning Sun Mountain Range.

The consumption of the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy over the years was simply hard to estimate. Not to mention the tiny Returning Sun Mountain Range, even a place that was a hundred times bigger would be eaten up by the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy sooner or later.

Judging from the current situation, the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy of the Returning Sun Mountain Range would be completely dried up in less than ten years. It would become a barren land, and it would no longer be the same as it was now. Even the trees and grass would wither.

This was because the spell formation here was simply too terrifying. The Heaven and Earth Vital Energy in the Returning Sun Mountain Range began to twitch, transforming into a long river that rumbled as it was absorbed by the spell formation. It consumed a massive amount of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy at every moment.

At the same time, it could be seen how difficult it was to enter the underground palace. The densely packed formations were guarding the entrance, emitting intense light and filled with killing intent.

To Duanmu Kuang, these formations were like an insurmountable chasm, impossible to cross. The reason why he summoned Lyi Hentian was because he couldn't even get close.

He was no longer a Wu Xia or Ah Meng, and had a certain understanding of formations. Naturally, he wouldn't risk his own life. These formations contained a shocking amount of energy, and could easily kill Profound Essence Stage warriors. Even if there were a hundred of them, they would only be turned into minced meat.

Because, the formations here were not something that someone of his level could deal with.

"Old man, is there a way to enter?" Of course, Duanmu Kuang wasn't willing to leave like this. He had already come here. It wasn't his style to not go in and take a look.

Furthermore, Lyi Hentian had great abilities, and he had once shown his skills in Southern Ferocious Land. He had easily destroyed a valley. At that time, he was stunned. In his point of view, if Lyi Hentian attacked, it wouldn't be difficult for him to break the formation here. He asked Lyi Hentian for guidance. He would have to rely on this old man for everything.

"Of course! I naturally have a way." Lyi Hentian was old and experienced. He gave two choices to Lyi Hentian.

First, he would personally smash this place into pieces.

However, if he did this, it was very likely that the underground palace would collapse as well. It was because these formations weren't simple. Even someone as powerful as him needed to exert a bit more strength in order to destroy these formations.

Secondly, he would teach Duanmu Kuang how to break the formation, and let him break the formation by himself.

Lyi Hentian had walked very far in the martial path. He was a Venerable. He could be said to be a master of martial arts. However, he was also quite proficient in formations. Although the formation in front of him was mysterious, however, it was not difficult for him to break it. It was just that he did not have a body right now, so he could not precisely break the formation. Once he attacked, he would completely destroy this place.

Therefore, the task of breaking the formation was undoubtedly the most suitable for Duanmu Kuang.

"How is it? Do you have the courage to break the formation?" Lyi Hentian smiled and looked at Duanmu Kuang, "Or do you need me to destroy this place?"

He gave two choices. The meaning was clear. Either you attack or I will destroy the formation, but I can't guarantee that you will still be able to enter the underground palace.

Duanmu Kuang furrowed his brows, feeling conflicted. Naturally, he wasn't willing to let Lyi Hentian attack.

This old man didn't act recklessly. As long as he made a move, he would ensure that this area would be blasted into nothingness. When the time came, how could he enter the underground palace?

He hesitated. The scene from the Southern Ferocious Land was still vivid in his mind. At that time, in the stone room of the nameless valley, he was trapped by a formation. He had no choice but to ask Lyi Hentian for help. Who would have thought that the moment the old man attacked, the earth would collapse and the mountains would collapse, and the entire valley would collapse? It was really hard to imagine that if Lyi Hentian was the one to break the formation... What would happen to this place?

However, if Lyi Hentian wasn't allowed to attack, it meant that he needed to break the formation himself. Duanmu Kuang was in a dilemma because he had a feeling that this old man wasn't reliable. Would letting him guide him in breaking the formation work?

"Hehe... Old man, you are also proficient in formations? Why haven't I heard you say this before?" He asked with a coy smile.

In the past, Lyi Hentian had never taught him anything related to formations. He had never even mentioned it. He suddenly said that he wanted to teach him how to break the seemingly mysterious formation in front of him. This was unbelievable.

He was puzzled, wondering if the old man was playing tricks on him.

"What? Kid, are you doubting this seat's ability?" Lyi Hentian was dissatisfied. He gave him a sideway glance. The Qi on his body was deep and majestic. The demeanor of an expert was fully displayed. He said in a deep voice, "What I have learned is everything. Formation is only one of the few things that I have learned. This is just a small matter. I didn't teach you before because I felt that it was unnecessary, but it doesn't mean that I don't understand it. Thinking back on that year, hmph..."

He pointed out that breaking these formations in front of him was as easy as flipping his hand. After all, the name of the Blood Venerable was not just for show. It had once shocked the world.

In the past, Lyi Hentian was revered by countless people. Many heaven warping geniuses were proud to have him as their master. Only Duanmu Kuang would be so ignorant as to call him an old man all day long.

"Alright, I'll go and break the formation." Duanmu Kuang gritted his teeth and said. Although his heart was pounding, he still reluctantly agreed. Because, this seemed to be the only choice. It was impossible for Lyi Hentian to really attack.

"En... Go, do as I say. Very soon, we will be able to break these formations and enter the underground palace. There isn't much time left. " Lyi Hentian nodded. After giving some instructions, he urged him to go forward.

Duanmu Kuang was anxious, but he still braced himself and walked towards the formation.

"Absorb." He hadn't really walked into the formation yet, but had only gotten a little closer. He could also feel the strong fluctuation. The energy contained within the formation was abnormally terrifying. Without a doubt, once this energy erupted, it could easily kill Profound Essence Stage warriors.

Standing outside the formation, affected by the impact of those fluctuations, his entire body was like a small boat in a stormy sea. His entire body was swaying, and he was about to lose his balance.

"Old man, don't harm me." He clenched his teeth, feeling a type of heroic spirit as he stepped into the formation.

Just now, Lyi Hentian had already told him the method to break the formation, as well as the method to enter it. However, facing the Killing Formation that could take his life at any time, no one could remain calm. Furthermore, he never believed that Lyi Hentian was proficient in formations. One could imagine the uneasiness and hesitation in his heart.

With this kind of mentality, Duanmu Kuang almost closed his eyes. He forcefully stopped his steps and walked into the formation.

"Eh..." However, what he imagined was that the formation that covered the sky was activated, but the attack that was aimed at him didn't happen. Lyi Hentian's method seemed to have worked.
