Chapter Summary: “Twenty-Four Heavens Grand Formation”

Key Plot Points and Events

• The Grand Void Mountain Range is protected by the Twenty-Four Heavens Grand Formation, established using the All-Heavens Array Diagram and the mountain range’s twenty-four innate treasures.
• For thousands of years, the Demon and Divine Races have attacked the formation with countless demon beasts, demon immortals, and divine spirits. Most attackers have been destroyed or mentally corrupted by the tribulation aura, serving only to drain the Human Race’s resources.
• The formation remains unbreached because it draws on the terrain and the power of the Twenty-Four Heavens, giving it an almost inexhaustible energy source.
• The Azure Yang Imperial Son arrives and identifies the true nature of the formation, explaining that ordinary waves of low-level attackers can never wear it down.
• The Demon and Divine Races reveal several powerful treasures intended to break or suppress the formation:
  • The Heaven-Splitting Divine Talisman, capable of destroying worlds and breaking powerful formations.
  • The Five-Colored Heaven-Suppressing Stone, which can suppress roughly twenty percent of the formation’s power.
  • The Emperor Crow Ancient Ship, equipped with a ninth-rank World-Destroying Cannon whose power equals a late Celestial Immortal’s full-force attack.
  • The Azure Yang Imperial Son’s Lesser Chaos Thunder Pearl, also possessing destructive power comparable to a late Celestial Immortal.
• Together, these treasures can suppress the formation for only about three days. If the attacking forces cannot cripple the Human Race within that period, the formation will recover and the Demon and Divine Races will be forced to retreat.
• The leaders estimate that they might inflict thirty to forty percent casualties, perhaps killing several taboo-realm experts, but they are concerned that this would not be enough to secure victory.
• They conclude that Daoist Return-to-Void and the Grand Void Sacred Son must be eliminated, especially Return-to-Void, whose reconstructed flawless Dao Fruit could eventually make him an overwhelming threat.
• The Azure Yang Imperial Son agrees that a decisive battle is necessary and calls upon someone referred to as Fellow Daoist Sun, setting up the next stage of the invasion plan.
