Shen Tian realized that this ancient battlefield was even bigger than he imagined.
He had traveled for tens of thousands of miles, and it was all just one big desecrated wasteland, full of debris and wreckage.
Luckily, after passing through this ancient battlefield, he finally arrived at the lake in the center.
The lake’s water was a dazzling golden color as if the tears of a god formed it. It exuded a surging aura.
The Reincarnation Lotus was situated right in the middle of the lake, glowing and spectacular.
After being nourished by the golden lake, the Reincarnation Lotus was vibrant and resonated with strong life energy.
Shen Tian’s Yin-Yang Double Aura bubbled at the sight of the lotus. An intense desire surged within him.
Shen Tian stepped toward the golden lake.
At that instant, the skies changed.
Beams of mystical runes descended from the sky, completely covering the area. It was magnificent and profound.
The domain runes crisscrossed, and the natural formations swirled, making the entire area dim and dark.
Shen Tian’s eyes hardened.
Is this the true power of the Yin-Yang Burial God formation?
The earlier Origin Yin-Yang Energy was just the first obstacle?
...
Endless natural formations gathered and swirled up into the skies, magnificent beyond imagination!
A colossal handprint appeared in mid-air, suddenly smashing down toward Shen Tian.
It was formed by a mass of Origin Yin-Yang Energy combined with domain power. It was formidable to the extreme.
The colossal handprint descended with immense power, instantly turning the surrounding fabrics of space into dust.
Shen Tian’s eyes hardened. He executed some hand seals and flew forward.
Boundless starlight swirled around Shen Tian’s fist, making it look like a massive shooting star about to crush the entire earth!
His Heavenly Divine Fist collided with the colossal handprint. Mighty divine energy erupted.
Boom!
Sky and earth collapsed while natural formations were incinerated.
The fabrics of space cracked and crumbled into a mass of debris.
Although Shen Tian’s fist shattered the colossal handprint, he suffered the after-effects of the attack. His body vibrated, the grave light in his eyes becoming even more intense.
That power was just too terrifying. It had already gone beyond that of a high-level Sub-Immortal.
This was indeed the Burial God Domain. It was absolutely terrifying.
Shen Tian was immune to the Origin Yin-Yang Energy and partially weakened the potency of the formation’s energy.
Otherwise, this power combined with the Yin-Yang energy’s corrosive effects might have really killed him!
...
At that moment, the powers of heaven and earth once again stirred, attracting countless natural formations to descend!
The formations were like a rainstorm, pouring down on earth and cleansing the entire land!
The heaven and earth powers barreled mightily through the region as if they wanted to destroy everything.
Shen Tian immediately circulated the power inside his own body. He radiated a boundless divine glow, attracting the energy of the stars from outside the domain.
In the blink of an eye, dazzling starlight shot down straight from the skies.
The surrounding Origin Chaotic Aura was also attracted, its power mighty and profound.
Shen Tian stood there in mid-air, looking very much like an invincible God of War, peering down imperiously at the world.
The Chaotic Star Sword appeared in his hands, exuding a magnificent power.
Shen Tian activated his Flying Immortal Sword Qi and slashed down at the space in front of him.
Boom!
Massive cracks appeared across the sky and earth, revealing black void turbulence, endless and abysmal. It was a spine-chilling sight,
That one slash was like the sword wanted to cut the world in half.
Unexpectedly, complicated strands of runes appeared across the sky, gathering the powers of heaven and earth to block that sword attack.
Shen Tian’s eyes blazed when he saw this.
This formation was able to activate the heaven and earth powers. Fighting against it was like fighting against heaven and earth itself!
Unless he used his power to the maximum to destroy this formation, everything would just keep restoring itself. It would be an endless cycle.
...
The Origin Yin-Yang Energy Formation kept gathering its energy.
The entire region instantly became pitch black. Only two massive balls of power could be seen suspended in mid-air—one Yin and one Yang. They were like two massive sun and moon that were descending, looking very mighty and majestic.
“Didn’t expect this domain to be so fearsome!”
Shen Tian’s voice was grave. Even a Perfected Immortal would fear the energy of this domain.
Still, Shen Tian was not too worried. He had a similar trump card in his back pocket.
The sun and moon were already coming straight at him, incinerating the surrounding fabrics of space into nothing.
Shen Tian’s eyes sharpened as boundless energy erupted from his body.
Waves of terrifying chaotic aura were emitted, mixed with Yin-Yang Double Aura. It was an extremely powerful force.
Shen Tian glowed all over, his aura gushing out like tremendous waves.
He put all his might into his Chaotic Star Sword, resonating across the skies and erupting with a power enough to destroy heaven and earth.
“Creating heaven and earth!”
Shen Tian commanded, his voice like the dark tone of the Heavenly Dao, grave and solemn.
In that instant, heaven and earth cracked and collapsed!
A violent energy exploded, shooting up to the highest skies!
The blade shone with an extremely sharp light, charging straight forward!
This attack directly slashed the murky space into two.
The fabrics of space and formations shattered into dust.
The entire Mystic Divine Island shook violently as it endured this terrifying destructive power.
...
Outside, Zhuge Yuan and the others were shocked.
“What happened?”
Their expressions underwent a major change when they sensed the fearsome aura radiating outward. It was powerful enough to wipe out all life.
“This aura is coming from the Yin-Yang Burial God Domain!”
Zhuge Sima’s voice was trembling. He shook with fear.
That aura was just too terrifying! It was enough to make one’s insides curl up!
At that moment, murky energy spread out, creeping toward the disciples of the two great clans.
“Be careful!” Zhuge Yuan shouted before activating his Eight Trigrams Compass and rushing forward.
Splat!
Fresh blood spurted out in the next second.
Zhuge Yuan suffered a serious blow and was sent flying through the air.
Even the great ancient formation weapon was split in half.
“Ancestor!”
The disciples of the two clans were shocked. What kind of power was that formidable?
It was able to cause serious injury to their ancestor!
Absolutely terrifying!
...
Meanwhile, the space in front of Shen Tian had turned into a wasteland.
Boundless formations were shattered, and the domain was a wreck.
He had split this entire place in half, completely destroying it.
The formation in front of the Reincarnation Lotus was finally demolished. The flower was unveiled.
It exuded a faint divine glow, life energy bubbling robustly.
Shen Tian reached out and plucked this Immortal herb into his hand.
In the blink of an eye, a gust of churning energy gushed over, and Shen Tian’s body trembled.
The Reincarnation Lotus seemed to be attracted to the power in Shen Tian’s body. It transformed into a Yin-Yang aura and surged into his dantian. It stood there regally in the middle of his dantian, exuding boundless Origin Chaotic Aura.
The energies in Shen Tian’s dantian mixed and merged, eventually forming a dual-colored wheel—one Yin, one Yang, spinning endlessly!
The power of the Yin-Yang wheel surged, radiating with a mystical force. It was like the reincarnation wheel itself, filled with boundless life energy—mighty and robust.
Shen Tian felt his physical body being cleansed, becoming increasingly strong and firm.
That was not all.
Boosted by this energy, Shen Tian’s control of the supreme divine skill of creation was also progressing at an unprecedented pace.
This energy held the true essence of all life. It possessed the Yin-Yang power of turning life into death and vice versa.
After mastering this power, even without the Hurricane Lilies and Triple Light Divine Water, he could also bring the dead back to life.
This was because the Origin Yin-Yang Energy was already the purest form of life energy in this world.
Shen Tian smiled at what was happening.
He had gained a massive windfall this time!
...
Shen Tian stood up and left this domain.
Everyone outside was shocked to see Shen Tian emerge.
Shen Tian had successfully destroyed the great formation and emerged unscathed!
“What happened here?” Shen Tian frowned. He had just been gone a short while, and Zhuge Yuan was now nearly half-dead from an attack?
Zhuge Sima explained what happened. “He suffered an injury to his core essence. I am afraid it won’t be that easy for him to recover.”
Zhuge Yuan gave a bitter smile. He didn’t expect to encounter such a fatal accident.
Shen Tian immediately spoke up. “Don’t worry. I have a solution.”
He walked before Zhuge Yuan and gave a wave of his hand.
The Origin Yin-Yang Energy in the atmosphere surged, but it was no threat. Instead, it possessed extremely pure life energy, nourishing Zhuge Yuan’s entire body.
His injuries rapidly healed up.
The scene dumbfounded everyone.
Zhuge Sima trembled all over. He was utterly shocked by Shen Tian’s miraculous methods.
Zhuge Yuan was even more shocked. He could feel his formerly damaged core essence completely recover in just a few breaths’ time.
This ability was just mind-blowing!
“Thank you, Shen Tian!”
Zhuge Yuan quickly cupped his fists in gratitude. If not for Shen Tian, he would probably need to recuperate for many years before his injured core essence would heal.
“You are welcome!”
Shen Tian waved and reminded everyone. “Let’s go! We don’t need to skirt around anymore!”
The Reincarnation Lotus had disappeared, and the domain had self-destructed. The space was entirely cleared now.
...
The crowd continued their journey and traveled for over 10,000 miles before arriving at a valley.
A massive stone wall was erected in front of them.
The stone wall reached high up into the clouds, blocking out the sky and the sun. It exuded an extremely powerful aura.
There were all sorts of runes carved on it, looking very mystical.
From afar, it looked like a sacred formation ground, full of mysterious wonders.
Zhuge Yuan was delighted by the sight of it. “This must be the legacy place mentioned by our ancestors! You guys hurry up and enter! The rest of us old folks will wait here for you!”
Only those who were 500 years old and below could enter this place.
Zhuge Yuan and the rest would have to wait outside.
The group nodded and entered the valley together.
Not long after they entered, a frail, old voice rang out.
His voice was solemn. “You are the second batch of people to enter Mystic Divine Island. If you can decipher this stone wall, you will be able to attain an invincible formation legacy.”
An elder dressed in a long grey robe appeared before everyone. His face was being kept from view.
“However, you only have five minutes. Only those who can decipher this part can pass the test and enter the Dragon Armor Heavenly Palace.”
With that, the grey-robed figure disappeared.
The disciples of the two great clans were dumbstruck. Nevertheless, a look of delight soon spread across their faces.
It was exactly as their ancestors had described. They could go straight ahead and decipher the formation legacy. If their ability to decipher was good enough, they might even be able to obtain the peerless legacy left behind by the powerful practitioner who was here.
Everyone sat down cross-legged and started to decipher the mysteries held within the stone wall without any hesitation.
Zhuge Sima also chose a spot and started to decipher.
Shen Tian was in no hurry. He observed his surroundings.
This place was ancient and looked like it had been preserved for tens of thousands of years.
When he returned his gaze to the stone wall, he realized that it was covered with mystical runes.
Every single section of runes corroborated with a special type of power.
There were multiple sections of runes, signifying the Tai Chi, Two Principles, Three Powers, Four Symbols, Five Elements, Six Directions, Seven Stars, Eight Trigrams, Nine Palaces, and countless other formation schools of teaching.
Many formation powers were encompassed inside. It was wondrous.
The Eight Trigrams domain and Five Elements domain practiced by the two great clans were just two of the many included.
Although Shen Tian did not specialize in formations, he could still feel just how miraculous it was. If he could decipher this entire power, not only would his formation abilities be enhanced, but it would also greatly improve his battle prowess.
This was also very beneficial to Shen Tian.
At this thought, Shen Tian no longer hesitated but started his cultivation.
Soon, he radiated with a faint glow. His Connate Constitution had been activated to maximum levels.
His eyes glowed like two deep abysses.
After taking in everything with his Connate Heavenly Eyes, all the information was imprinted in his mind.
Shen Tian’s mind raced as the mysteries of countless formation techniques danced in his head.
They swirled and intermingled, radiating with boundless divine energy.
Shen Tian submerged himself into this quiet cultivation, continuously evolving.
...
Two minutes later, Shen Tian opened his eyes, which shone with profound light.
Over this short period of time, he had already successfully deciphered all the formation formations on the stone wall.
These formations were very profound and complex. As magnificent as the great ocean, boundless and limitless.
But boosted by his Connate Constitution, all had become clear, and he managed to grasp the entirety of it.
Shen Tian could feel that his understanding of formations had shot up by multiple times. It might even be possible for him to create a formation with a single command!
His formation abilities now were comparable to those strong practitioners who had cultivated formation techniques for tens of thousands of years!
It must be said that this stone wall was indeed miraculous.
Its reputation was not just empty talk!
...
After deciphering the wonders of formations, Shen Tian’s Heavenly Cycle Star Formation technique was also enhanced.
Relying on the Reincarnation Lotus and boundless Origin Yin-Yang Energy inside his body, as well as his newly-gained formation concepts, he was confident of erecting an invincible reincarnation formation and sending souls straight for reincarnation.
What did that mean?
This meant that he had already come into contact with the core essence energy of heaven and earth. It was extremely advanced and profound.
Normally, this energy was not something that any human could control.
But boosted by the Immortal herb and the earth-shaking formation, anything was possible!
...
By now, five minutes had passed.
Everyone had awoken, their faces filled with both gratitude and regret. It was clear that most of them had failed to successfully decipher the core principles, but they had still managed to gain quite a bit of benefits.
Cultivating here for just five minutes had been far better than cultivating in the outside world for 100 or even 1,000 years.
As a result, although many of them felt some regret, they were also satisfied with their progress.
Zhuge Sima’s aura suddenly erupted fiercely.
Countless runes swirled around him, attracting natural formations toward him.
Behind him, two massive avatars appeared, splendid and majestic.
Countless runes swirled around to create two huge wheel avatars.
These two avatars were the Four Symbols and Nine Palaces depicted on the wall drawings.
On top of that, Zhuge Sima himself practiced the Eight Trigrams and Five Elements. It could be said that he had already mastered half the formation techniques here.
At that moment, the grey-robed figure appeared.
“You two are not bad. You can enter the Dragon Armor Heavenly Palace now to accept the second legacy!”
With that, the grey-robed figure waved his hand and transported Shen Tian and Zhuge Sima inside.
Everyone was filled with envy at the sight.
...
Big Brother Shen is indeed good at formations. And Brother Zhuge’s talents are just as powerful!
I wonder what legacies those two will be able to obtain...
Just the thought of it makes me so envious!
