Before Sikong Jing left, the Qianyuan War Emperor had told him that only he could open this illusory realm.
Standing within the illusory realm, Sikong Jing once again heard the Qianyuan War Emperor's voice...
"Little Brother Sikong, this so-called battle for the title of the world's foremost military formation master shall be my Qianyuan demonstration battle for you."
"First comes the first level of the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation. Watch closely!"
As the voice left behind by the Qianyuan War Emperor echoed within the illusory realm, Sikong Jing's entire body trembled without end. What he was about to witness was the earlier battle of military formations between the Qianyuan War Emperor and Pei Xie...
The Qianyuan War Emperor was terrifying beyond measure. The way he had dealt with this war had, astonishingly, been: a teaching battle.
Beginning with the first level of the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram, he attacked Pei Xie's military formation. He demonstrated everything to Sikong Jing—how to arrange true energy and the power of military formations, how to unleash the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation's greatest might, and more.
His purpose was to guide Sikong Jing into learning the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Formation with greater clarity.
From then on, Sikong Jing remained alone in the Qianyuan Illusory Realm, frantically absorbing the Qianyuan War Emperor's formations. At the same time, he continuously compared them against the new Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram Grandpa Su had given him, constantly incorporating elements that belonged to himself.
Meanwhile, the Beast Slaughter Array that had evolved from the Qianyuan Battle-Killing Diagram was, naturally, advancing at a frantic pace as well.
On the other side, Murong Jianyun rode the Dark Wing Dragon Eagle into Willow Leaf City. Then, together with Bei Cang, Xi Tu, and the others, he carefully devised a plan to deal with the Thousand Kings Holy Tower.
