With that thought, Sikong Jing sent his consciousness into it again and began studying it.
But the damage was too severe. It was extraordinarily difficult to figure anything out, and Sikong Jing had to find a breakthrough...
Another half day passed...
At last, within the shattered illusion realm of the green jade stone wall, Sikong Jing saw several large characters.
His eyes widened as he blurted out, "Nine Heavens-Breaking Army-Slaying Diagram!"
This was the first set of Army-Slaying Formation diagrams Sikong Jing had found amid the various shattered illusion realms on the green jade stone wall—the opening stance of this Army-Slaying Formation. And it had formed these six large characters.
"It's actually an Army-Slaying Diagram meant to break the Nine Heavens."
Sikong Jing was both shocked and delighted. Of course, "break the Nine Heavens" did not mean the Nine Heavens Emperor was broken, nor did it mean this Army-Slaying Diagram was damaged. It was an Army-Slaying Formation meant to break the Nine Heavens Emperor's power.
"It wasn't created by the Heaven-Soaring Emperor himself, but it was definitely made by... one of the Heaven-Soaring Emperor's sons, grandsons, or descendants."
"It inherited the Heaven-Soaring Emperor's will—a thing created to deal with the Nine Heavens Emperor."
"Break the Nine Heavens..."
"That means this Army-Slaying Diagram begins with the Nine Heavens Emperor's martial path. As long as my understanding of the Nine Heavens Emperor's martial path grows deeper, I can open the door to repairing this Army-Slaying Diagram."
"Once this Army-Slaying Diagram is repaired, the Heaven-Soaring Army-Slaying martial path contained within it can unravel other things left behind by the Heaven-Soaring Emperor."
Sikong Jing drew a deep breath. In his mind still lingered the image of that strange energy in the void...
The Nine Heavens Emperor's sword strike against his Blood Devour Magic Beast.
