Qin Hao scoffed and prepared to make his move.
At this moment, below the great formation, the Jade Emperor, Erlang Shen, Nezha, Li Jing (the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King), and others were all watching the spectacle unfold.
This protective formation cannot be easily opened.
Because once it's opened, it would take 100,000 years to open it again.
However, this formation is both offensive and defensive, making it extremely powerful.
Ordinary people really can't do anything about it, and might even be killed by the formation itself.
Qin Hao naturally saw it too, and a playful mood arose within him. He wanted to test just how powerful this great formation really was.
So he used only a tiny bit of his power to attack the formation.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the great formation remained completely still, and even unleashed dozens of terrifying bolts of lightning that hurtled towards Qin Hao.
Hidden within these thunderbolts were countless lightning blades, which, as they flew towards Qin Hao, cleaved open a spatial rift in the void, demonstrating just how terrifying they were.
Upon seeing the incoming lightning blades, Qin Hao was not saddened but rather delighted. He didn't let a single blade escape, automatically taking them all in and letting them strike his body.
This scene looks as if Qin Hao deliberately asked for a beating.
"Haha, I thought you were something special, but you're not all that great!"
"Exactly! Look at him, he doesn't even try to avoid it, he's probably scared out of his wits!"
Everyone was laughing at Qin Hao, some even saying that Qin Hao was so scared that instead of quickly dodging the Thunder Strike, he actually went straight to meet it with his bare body.
However, as bolts of Thunder Strike Qin Hao, Qin Hao was overjoyed.
Because all the energy within the thunder was absorbed by his Soul-Quiescence Palace, transformed into the purest Energy Qi, and then used to help Qin Hao build bridges in the Eight Extraordinary Meridians he had opened.
It must be said that this great formation is extremely terrifying, containing world-destroying energy. Even Taishang Laojun was watching the spectacle from the sidelines, narrowed his eyes.
Laojun was the one in the Kaiyuan Universe who comprehended the World Origin the Kaiyuan Universe, so nothing in this world could escape his eyes.
He was very wary of this grand formation, because even he might not be a match for it and could only rely on his knowledge of formations to break it.
However, it would probably take a hundred or two hundred years to crack the code, and Taishang Laojun wouldn't be so idle as to waste his time on something thankless!
This is also why Taishang Laojun didn't cause trouble for the Jade Emperor and Tathagata, because he already knew everything about the Kaiyuan Universe.
The two protective formations of the Lingxiao Hall and Vulture Peak are both very mysterious and ancient formations with immense power; even he was not confident in their abilities.
At this moment, Qin Hao absorbed all the lightning power unleashed by the great formation.
"Hmm, the sect-protecting formation, is that all? But it can provide me with energy, which suits me just fine."
Qin Hao spoke happily, then carefully attacked the formation again, causing it to unleash a terrifying attack.
However, Qin Hao absorbed them all.
This scene was simply unbelievable to the Taishang Laojun Jade Emperor and others, as well as to Laozi, who was watching from the shadows.
They couldn't understand why the formation's attack didn't seem to be targeting Qin Hao, but rather recharging Qin Hao.
"No, this is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
The Jade Emperor stared at Qin Hao, who was still being attacked by fierce lightning, and said...
At this moment, Taibai Gold Star suddenly said, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Qin Hao was able to control lightning when he was undergoing his Thunder Tribulation? So it must be because his mastery of the Thunder Law is quite high, which is why he is not afraid of lightning."
"That's right, how come I didn't think of that? Haha, that's good then. After the thunder attack ends, there will be wind blade attacks, golden knife attacks, and heavy water attacks. I'll see how he dies!"
The Jade Emperor finally smiled broadly.
At this moment, Taishang Laojun, who was observing from the shadows, looked at the people in the Lingxiao Hall as if they were dead.
Only he knew how terrifying this formation was; the lightning laws it contained far exceeded those of the Kaiyuan Universe. Therefore, even someone like him who had comprehended the Universe Origin wouldn't dare say that he could withstand such a terrifying lightning attack entirely with his physical body, just like Qin Hao.
Therefore, Taishang Laojun became even more interested in Qin Hao.
As I watched, I couldn't help but recall what Qin Hao had said when he was having tea and chatting with me in the Tusita Palace: he had a cultivation method that could easily break through the limits and make one a being Martial Emperor 100th Tier.
"Could it be that Qin Hao has already surpassed the Martial Emperor 100th Tier?"
Taishang Laojun suddenly exclaimed.
He always believed that no matter how extraordinary Qin Hao was, he was probably just like himself, at most a Martial Emperor 100th Tier.
But now it seems that's not the case at all.
Above the great formation, the thunderous attack finally ended, and Qin Hao was extremely excited.
Because this lightning was so intense, like the lightning in the Holy Demon Universe, it allowed him to absorb enough energy to successfully establish a bridge connecting the Infant-Nurturing Palace and the Soul-Quiescence Palace.
Once the two Divine Palaces are successfully connected, things will be completely different; the increase in strength will be beyond description.
Because Qin Hao's strength instantly skyrocketed from Martial God Rank 12 to Martial God 50th Tier.
I never imagined that such an array existed in the Kaiyuan Universe. I love it!
Qin Hao thought excitedly, then attacked the formation again.
He used slightly more energy this time, but it was still within the range that the formation could withstand.
Qin Hao discovered that the greater the energy of the formation's attack, the stronger the formation's attack power.
Sure enough, at that moment, countless wind blades suddenly appeared from the formation.
Wind blades are second only to spatial rifts in power, and their destructive force is extremely strong.
The void surrounding the wind blades was torn open with numerous cracks.
Upon witnessing this scene, not only the Jade Emperor and others, but even Taishang Laojun was secretly observing, was filled with horror.
"I never expected the wind blade attacks from this formation to be so terrifying, even stronger than lightning attacks! If it were me, I'd be badly injured too!"
Taishang Laojun spoke, he felt extremely fortunate.
From the moment he revealed his true strength, Taishang Laojun no longer wanted to hide it. He wanted to teach the Jade Emperor and Tathagata a lesson and reshuffle the deck.
However, because of Qin Hao, they have not yet taken action.
Therefore, when the Jade Emperor and Tathagata personally asked him not to help Qin Hao attack them, he agreed to their request not to help Qin Hao.
But now it seems that Qin Hao needs my help.
Thus, the formation's attacks grew increasingly fierce, reaching a peak equivalent to the full-force strike of Martial God Rank 10.
But Qin Hao felt nothing at all.
For seven consecutive days, Qin Hao absorbed and refined all the energy within the great formation using the Soul-Quiescence Palace. He also successfully established two bridges connecting the Infant-Nurturing Palace, the Soul-Quiescence Palace, and the Divine Palace Weiming Palace.
At this point, Qin Hao's strength was comparable to that of Martial God 100th Tier.
In the end, Soul-Quiescence Palace directly absorbed and refined the protective array of the Lingxiao Hall, turning it all into Qin Hao's energy.
Those who witnessed the entire process were terrified upon seeing Qin Hao, as if they had seen a demon. They were all pale with fright and stared at Qin Hao in horror.
Some were even trembling, like the Jade Emperor, whose legs were shaking at that moment.
"I will only kill the Jade Emperor; everyone else, get out of here!"
