Wu Shi Killing Array
In the Eastern Wasteland, there stands an ancient palace, constructed from the skulls of countless kings, with Sacred Bone lining the ground, shimmering with an immortal light. This is the Human World!
"The assassination attempt failed again! The opponent must be protected by Heirloom Sacred Weapon or even Quasi-Emperor Weapon!" A calm voice echoed in the hall.
An aged voice rang out, like a demonic Demonic Sound from the depths of hell, sending chills down one's spine. It said, "This hall has always been missing something. I've thought and thought, and it turns out it's the skulls of those with the Saint Body and the Hegemon Body. Even a fully-fledged Assassin King can no longer deal with someone with the Hegemon Body. It's time for me to take action myself!"
Almost simultaneously, whispers of Demon God echoed from the ancient halls of Hell, their murderous aura surging across time like a vast, turbulent sea.
"Proving the Dao through killing..."
Meanwhile, on the other side, at Sacred Cliff.
The Sacred Cliff is located at the border between the Central Region and the Northern Region, a very special location, and almost no one ever comes here on ordinary days.
Because this is an ominous place. The Great Perfection Saint Body died here in his later years, his blood staining the withered cliff, which instilled fear in everyone.
Although its name suggests a cliff, upon closer inspection, it reveals its immense grandeur—a vast mountain range, majestic and imposing. Its entire body is black, as black as ink, and even the countless ancient trees on its surface cannot conceal its presence. More than fifty such majestic peaks stand side by side, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
More than fifty black mountains stand side by side, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
"This is the Sacred Cliff!!" Looking at this cliff, Ye Fan also felt a strange sensation.
"Croak..."
Several old crows, exuding an aura of death, flapped their wings on a withered old tree outside the black cliff, emitting eerie cries filled with sorrow.
"Are we really going in? Zhou Tong, are you sure the Nine Secrets is here? I have a bad feeling about this place..." Pang Bo felt a chill run down his neck.
"Sure!"
Zhou Tong nodded and then said, "Originally, I planned to wait a while before I could come in; but now there's no other way, so I have to bring it forward."
"Is there anything else you haven't prepared?" Ye Fan asked.
Zhou Tong glanced at Ye Fan and said, "Although it's indeed a little short, it's about right! Let's go in!"
"Follow me carefully, and don't take a wrong step. This place has been engraved with countless Array Patterns by the Wu Shi the Great. If you take a wrong step, I won't be able to save you."
As he spoke, Zhou Tong opened his eyes, his Martial Heavenly Eye wide open to its limit, and immediately saw the Dao Pattern on the mountain. He continuously deduced them in his mind using the Nine Secrets: Zu.
We proceeded while simultaneously conducting simulations.
Ye Fan nodded, picked up the Xiao Nannan and put her on his shoulders, then followed Zhou Tong into the Sacred Cliff.
Ye Fan and Pang Bo were very careful, not daring to take a wrong step, and they followed Zhou Tong's footprints.
"Boom!!"
But after only thirty steps inside, a terrifying bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck Zhou Tong, making his body tremble.
"Little Tyrant, are you alright?!"
Pang Bo was startled; if the lightning struck him, he would definitely be injured.
Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat; the Sacred Cliff was far too dangerous. But then an incredulous look appeared on his face. He saw that Zhou Tong's body had initially trembled, but soon, all the lightning had been refined by him.
"Zhou Tong can actually refine lightning!" Ye Fan was shocked, but then his heart burned with excitement.
This method is simply a divine tool for transcending tribulations!
Zhou Tong did not answer Pang Bo's question, but instead opened his Martial Heavenly Eye to its limit, constantly looking at the Dao Pattern on the mountain.
"According to my calculations, there shouldn't be any mistakes here!" Zhou Tong frowned, constantly rehearsing in his mind.
He recalled the Array Patterns from the beginning, deduced them repeatedly, and suddenly understood. A smile appeared on his face, "So that's how it is. There was a slight flaw here!"
"Little Tyrant was struck by lightning, yet he's still laughing. Has he awakened some incredible attribute?" Pang Bo quipped.
Zhou Tong ignored Pang Bo's complaints and continued his deductions and advances.
As Zhou Tong took his twentieth step, another massive bolt of lightning descended from the sky.
"Snap!"
The lightning struck, but was quickly refined by Zhou Tong using the Thunder Emperor Method.
He stopped again, observed the Dao Pattern on the ground, looked for the mistakes he had made before, continued to deduce them repeatedly, made up for his mistakes, learned from his mistakes, and then continued forward.
"Boom!", "Crack!", "Boom!"...
This was, after all, the Array Patterns of the Wu Shi the Great. Zhou Tong's cultivation level was still too low. Even with the Nine Secrets: Zu formation, he could not fully succeed. Almost every ten or twenty steps he took, an extremely terrifying bolt of lightning would fall from the sky and strike Zhou Tong heavily.
These lightning bolts were initially very weak, only equivalent to the Heavenly Tribulation he had undergone in the Four Extremities Realm; however, the further he went, the more terrifying the power of the lightning became.
The last few bolts of lightning, in particular, were almost as powerful as the lightning sea during Zhou Tong's half-step into the Great Power stage.
However, Zhou Tong was not angry at the thunder; on the contrary, he became more and more excited.
The Array Patterns on the Sacred Cliff were set up by the Wu Shi the Great. Zhou Tong had never seen the Wu Shi the Great's Array Patterns and did not know the evolution process. However, he entered and continuously used the Nine Secrets: Zu to resolve the changes in the array.
Although he failed countless times and was struck by lightning countless times, Zhou Tong's Array Patterns level was soaring at an unimaginable speed.
Every failure, every lightning strike, was equivalent to the Wu Shi the Great Wushi personally instructing Zhou Tong on the way of Array Patterns, pointing out his errors, and enabling his way of Array Patterns to continuously improve at an unprecedented speed.
If the Way of Array Patterns also has titles similar to Source Heaven Master and Source Earth Master, then this exploration of Sacred Cliff will be a crucial opportunity for Zhou Tong to advance from Source Earth Master to Source Heaven Master.
Finally, after crossing a black mountain, they arrived at a Nothingness. This area had no Array Patterns, but its energy was very mysterious.
This is a very open valley, nestled among black mountains, with a lake in the middle that is as smooth as a mirror.
"Look, that herb is at least over 20,000 years old!" Suddenly, Pang Bo pointed to a large, azure-blue herb not far away and said.
"Nothing here is easy, so don't cause any trouble!" Zhou Tong said calmly.
Ye Fan also shook his head at Pang Bo.
Pang Bo also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he nodded and continued to follow behind Zhou Tong.
Soon, the group crossed the valley and entered another large, dark mountain. As soon as they entered the mountain, terrifying lightning began to strike continuously.
The Array Patterns on this mountain are significantly more terrifying than the previous Array Patterns, and the variations are also more intricate.
The closer the Array Patterns are to the center of the Sacred Cliff, the more terrifying their power becomes. In the past, the Wu Shi the Great was afraid that outsiders might accidentally wander into this place, so the Array Patterns on the outer perimeter were not very powerful, serving only as a warning to cultivators.
Now, facing the Array Patterns deeper within, even with Zhou Tong's mastery of the Nine Secrets: Zu and his careful advance, he was almost struck by lightning every three steps and thunder every five.
"Ugh!!"
Finally, halfway there, Zhou Tong could no longer withstand the power of the lightning. He groaned, and even the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique could not dispel this level of lightning in a short time.
"Little Tyrant, are you really capable of handling this lightning?" Pang Bo was somewhat horrified.
"If that doesn't work, we'll wait until you're fully prepared before coming back!" Ye Fan said.
"Right now, the Assassin Saint of the Human World and Hell are probably searching for us all over the world. We have to make it now, even if it's not going to work!" Zhou Tong said softly.
At the same time, the Vajra Ring flew out and hovered above Zhou Tong's head, radiating Seven-Colored Divine Light.
At this moment, he did not move forward, but sat down quietly, constantly pondering the Array Patterns on the mountain he had just passed.
Soon, a mountain-shaped object appeared in Zhou Tong's mind. This mountain was covered with Array Patterns, and countless lines emitted a faint light.
Zhou Tong used the Nine Secrets: Zu to continuously deduce these patterns. Finally, these patterns began to change. The patterns that originally covered a mountain began to spread out and flatten, eventually becoming a huge Array Patterns that covered an unknown number of miles.
It's like something in Dimension has been compressed into Dimension.
However, the deduction did not end. These Array Patterns began to shrink continuously, gradually shrinking from a huge Array Patterns that covered an unknown area of tens of thousands of miles into a corner of the most basic Array Diagram.
Using the Nine Secrets: Zu as its core, Zhou Tong actually reconstructed a corner of the Wu Shi Killing Array!
This also signifies that his mastery of Array Patterns has reached a new level, a whole new height.
