Chapter 524: Six Bombardments!
Lin Yan stood six hundred miles away.
The heavenly eye on his forehead flickered with light as he looked forward, showing a cold and stern expression.
Sixty thousand elite troops were unable to form a military formation, each group scattered, placed within a formation, confused and dazed.
Two Human Martial Saints dangled mid-air, Old God's Magical Objects penetrated their bodies, breaking the Leakless True Body.
Lin Yan's gaze slightly condensed, he raised his right palm, releasing the Little White Ape.
"What is this formation?"
Lin Yan slightly frowned.
Since becoming a Saint Master, he had the qualification to peruse all ancient texts from South Mountain Sacred Land, the Holy Alliance, and the Upper Heaven Ancestor Realm.
But his heart was focused on cultivation, slaughtering all the way, seldom having time to calm down and read through the various texts.
Instead, the Little White Ape and Little Liu Zun recently have thoroughly read texts, exploring widely, with notable accomplishments.
"Ranked in the Eight Diagrams, on the surface it is a Sacrificial Great Array."
The Little White Ape said, "But inside, the path for changes is set. If we rush in, two diagrams combine as one, eight diagrams become four, hence it is the Four Symbols Spiritual Array we encountered previously…"
"But the altar outside is engraved with formation patterns, it should be a trap array, with the core inside being a killing array."
"These are not ordinary goods. If we rashly enter, even with combat power that surpasses Ultimate Heaven, it can't break the array instantly!"
"Once hindered by the trap array, the killing array will activate!"
"Trapping and killing us, while using the Four Symbols Spiritual Array to divert great fortunes."
"Master's luck will be lost, and they obtain luck, this decline and rise will mean certain death!"
"Perhaps only a true Divine Spirit could break out from this arrangement."
Speaking of this, the Little White Ape whispered, "Master, we don't have the Tribulation Treasure Ship to assist now, even without formations, just these old geezers, we lose the fight; retreat isn't necessarily a bad idea…"
"Can't retreat!"
Lin Yan looked down calmly, "They've already detected my trail. When we arrived, the trap array at the perimeter extended underground, silently covering a thousand miles… I've never seen such array skills!"
"Praise from the Saint Master!"
A white-robed man slowly approached and greeted, "I once was an Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Industry under the Open Nether God Emperor, and also served as the Array Master of the Pavilion…"
"He's covered in formations, with protective arrays on his robe, isolation arrays on his skin."
The Little White Ape quietly said.
Lin Yan glanced and said, "The path of meridians inside him is different from ordinary people, likely forming a formation too! And his bones, organs, all have different runes inscribed on them!"
"Saint Master's heavenly eye seems to see through me completely."
This white-robed man chuckled, "To be honest, these formations are derived from ancient methods, isolating external forces, protecting self for survival, and resisting strange energies."
He stretched out his hand, covered with scale armor, and at its edges were densely packed tendrils, extremely terrifying and eerie.
He said quietly, "Even though there are signs of losing control over the physical body, my mind remains intact, never insane, and the body retains human form… If Saint Master wants to learn, I can teach you!"
"Mind intact?"
Lin Yan said flatly, "The Open Nether God Emperor upheld an era as the strongest of the Human Clan. I believe you once served the Human Clan, what about today…"
"People always change, this doesn't mean I've lost control."
This Assistant Minister of the Open Nether heaven-engineering said, "With your life, open my path. I can serve the contemporary Human Clan too!"
Lin Yan didn't speak, his gaze swept over, focusing on that old man: "Are you the Great Venerable? So ordinary, no wonder you're hiding perfectly!"
"Saint Master is about to die, let me clarify before your end."
The Great Venerable stroked his beard, "I haven't hidden among the Holy Alliance's higher-ups, just chose a city, served as a coachman, nothing more…"
"Although as a coachman, with your cultivation, nothing in the entire city escapes your notice."
Lin Yan thought, "Not Heavenly Destiny City, but surely a major city crucial for information gathering, highly significant in news reception…"
Before the Great Venerable could reply, Lin Yan's gaze landed on another silhouette.
This was a vicious beast with white fur, previously encountered.
Originally part of the Human Clan, later transformed into Physical Body Evil, occupying a sacred land, devouring its Saint Master, plundering Dao Rhythm, contesting for Immortal God authority.
This is an ancient being that has existed for over ten thousand years!
And another figure, cloaked entirely in black, remained silent.
"You bear traces of the Old God."
Lin Yan said, "And marks I'm familiar with…"
He slightly closed his eyes, thoughts whirled, and it became clear.
Initially, he went to the Holy Alliance because the Prince Zhen Nan's Royal City sent a warship to escort.
This warship was a replica of the crossing golden ship, equally a crossing treasure ship.
But this ship required guidance.
The guiding artifact was relocated, and a Blood Sacrifice Array laid, breaking the treasure ship, causing Lin Yan to fall into an ambush instance.
And that deadly trap at the time was called the Supreme Mysterious Yang Demon Sealing Nail.
"..."
The Great Venerable turning his head said, "At this moment, you're still trying to hide, disguising identity?"
The black-robed man sighed, lifted his hood, revealing an aged face.
"It's you!"
Hong Xiao's pupils contracted, he exclaimed, "How could it be you?"
The black-robed man remained calm, "I am also an elder of the Holy Alliance's Supreme Pavilion, gathered a group of self-proclaimed noble fools, dubbed as guardian of the true Taoist sect; Saint Master should know me…"
"The leader of the true Taoist sect, some call you Sect Leader, others Dao Venerate, or Taoist Master."
Lin Yan said, "In the Holy Alliance, everyone praised you highly, considering you the only one without personal motives, all actions purely for the Human Clan's prosperity! Unexpectedly, you are the most selfish…"
