Chapter 30: Master of Mending Heaven Peak
In his previous life, Lu Yang had painstakingly researched Formations, and the grand Formation he finally inscribed on the Blood Sun Sword Pill was a Sword Formation called the "Blood Wash Heavenly River Sword Formation Diagram."
The Formation was divided into three elements and nine palaces, with the long river of Sword Qi unleashed by the Blood Sun Sword Pill as the main component, supplemented by the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light. Lu Yang also specifically designed three hundred and sixty Formation eyes. According to his vision, as long as three hundred and sixty Cultivators entered and took control of them, the power of the Formation could be maximized.
He had already thought about this point as well.
After he reclaimed his Innate One Qi Myriad Spirit Banner from Liu Xin, he would let the Banner Spirit enter the Formation eyes, which would not only be convenient and save effort but also allow him to carry it with him.
However, for now, he could only personally preside over the Formation.
"Open!" Lu Yang chanted the spell, and the Blood Sun Sword Pill hummed. Inside the Formation, a Heavenly river surged from south to north, covering the sky, its boundaries invisible.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuanchun, Zhao Xuhe, and everyone else were now all submerged in the Heavenly river. The river water surged, meaning endless Sword Qi was striking them every second. A few Cultivators with weaker cultivation only had time to let out a scream before turning into a blood flower in the Heavenly river.
Lu Yuanchun's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
"This is impossible! Although Master mentioned earlier that this person understood Formations, I didn't give him any time to set up a Formation, so why did I still fall into one?"
Lu Yuanchun naturally couldn't understand.
Because the Blood Sun Sword Pill was not an ordinary Magic Treasure, but a Formation Treasure. A so-called Formation Treasure is a treasure that is a Formation; the Formation forms as soon as the thought arises, requiring no setup at all!
Falling into the Formation at this moment had already exceeded Lu Yuanchun's expectations.
After all, Formations borrow the wonders of heaven and earth, and the power of heaven and earth, claiming to be invincible within the same Realm. Although he prided himself on his strength, he lost his confidence once he fell into the Formation.
Could it be that he was truly going to suffer a setback in an unexpected place today?
Thinking of this, Lu Yuanchun's expression became even uglier, no longer showing his previous confidence of victory. Even Zhao Xuhe next to him became uneasy:
"Senior Brother, this Formation…"
"Junior Brother, be careful, there might be unexpected changes in today's matter." Lu Yuanchun whispered, while simultaneously summoning his Golden Light Treasure Mirror into the air to protect himself.
At this moment, Lu Yuanchun still held a glimmer of hope. In his opinion, Lu Yang was merely an ordinary Disciple who had obtained an Opportunity. Although he knew many things, he had only been in the sect for a short time. Even if he understood Formations, how much could he Master? As for the Formation before his eyes, perhaps it was a legacy from a predecessor?
However, in the next second, Lu Yang shattered his illusion.
Lu Yang's expression was cold. With a thought, he pointed a finger, and the originally clear Sword Qi Heavenly river immediately took on a dazzling crimson hue.
Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Light!
Although this Divine Ability was incredibly powerful, claiming to "wound with a graze, kill with a touch," it also meant that its power was only evident upon hitting the target.
If it couldn't hit, it would be useless.
However, within the "Blood Wash Heavenly River Sword Formation Diagram," Lu Yang had solved this flaw. As long as one was inside the Formation, it was equivalent to being immersed in the Divine Light!
In other words, as long as it was cast, it would definitely hit!
In an instant, Lu Yuanchun felt the ground shake, and the remaining Junior Brothers screamed one after another, then instantly turned into human skins!
"Not good!"
Lu Yuanchun's face instantly changed drastically. He gritted his teeth, his hand seals shifting, and the Qi of the Golden Light Treasure Mirror above his head instantly became chaotic and violent.
Lu Yang reacted instantly with just a glance.
"Self-destructing a Magic Treasure? Naive!"
The Golden Light Treasure Mirror was clearly a superior Magic Treasure. If Lu Yuanchun detonated it, he indeed had a chance to tear apart the Formation Diagram and create a way out.
However, the premise was that Lu Yang didn't understand Formations.
Ordinary Formations, even with someone presiding over them, could only operate according to predetermined rules; they were dead Formations. However, with a Formation Master in charge, it was completely different.
Because a qualified Formation Master could fully adjust the Formation temporarily according to changes in the battle situation. In this way, a dead Formation would become a living Formation, and its power would naturally be incomparable. Not to mention, the 'Blood Wash Heavenly River Sword Formation Diagram' was created by Lu Yang himself, and he used it as easily as moving his arm.
Therefore, the moment Lu Yuanchun detonated the Magic Treasure, Lu Yang moved.
He calculated with one hand and manipulated the Formation runes with the other, instantly dispersing the explosive power, which was originally concentrated at one point, throughout the Formation.
Once the explosion dispersed, its power sharply decreased several times.
The Formation, which would have been broken, naturally remained intact. It even seized the gap created by the Golden Light Treasure Mirror's fragmentation and swallowed Lu Yuanchun and Zhao Xuhe in one fell swoop.
Zhao Xuhe didn't even have time to scream, instantly turning into a mummified corpse.
"Impossible! This scoundrel is actually a Formation Master!?"
Lu Yuanchun's face was ashen, feeling his flesh and blood pouring out like a breached flood. He was about to follow in Zhao Xuhe's footsteps and die a violent death.
"Blood Transformation Divine Light"
At a critical moment of life and death, intense fear quickly extinguished his anger. Lu Yuanchun's eyes were splitting with rage, yet he was helpless. He finally resigned himself and lowered his head.
"Boom!"
The next second, a jade pendant on Lu Yuanchun's waist quietly shattered, and then burst forth with endless brilliant light, actually breaking through Lu Yang's grand Formation in an instant!
Lu Yang's pupils contracted upon seeing this, and he looked up at the sky.
As his gaze fell, he saw brilliant light outlining a huge, serene, and imposing face that formed above his head, ten thousand feet high!
That face showed no emotion whatsoever. Its eyes were as bright as the sun and moon. Even though Lu Yang only met its gaze for an instant, his eyes teared up from the stinging pain, and his entire True Qi was inexplicably weakened by seventy to eighty percent, almost causing him to lose control of his escape light and fall from the sky.
The face looked down, its voice like thunder from the mountains:
"Presumptuous!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to hold the power of heavenly decrees, making Lu Yang an existence abhorred by heaven and earth. The surrounding Spiritual Qi even recoiled as if avoiding him.
The invisible gaze seemed to genuinely weigh on Lu Yang like Mount Tai.
The surrounding ground even cracked inch by inch because of it.
Such a scene naturally startled the entire Mending Heaven Peak.
For a time, countless Disciples who were in seclusion throughout Mending Heaven Peak awakened, walked out of their Immortal Caves, and looked at the giant face in the sky with expressions of terror.
"Greetings, Peak Lord!"
"Greetings, Peak Lord!"
Some old Disciples of Mending Heaven Peak recognized the face's appearance and immediately felt their scalps tingle. Without a word, they prostrated themselves on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing and bowing.
Mending Heaven Peak Lord!
Lu Yang finally learned the identity of the mysterious Master behind Zhao Xuhe: the Mending Heaven Peak Lord, a Foundation Establishment True Person who governed one of the Inner Gate Four Peaks of the Chu Sheng Sect!
"Rumble!"
As the voice fell, the Formation Diagram that Lu Yang had painstakingly refined in his previous life immediately began to crumble. Large sections of the Formation runes even exploded on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Lu Yang couldn't help but show a hint of helplessness.
The gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment completely exceeded his imagination. His twenty years of painstaking effort were actually no match for just two words from a Foundation Establishment True Person!
A single reprimand, and it came to this?
