Just now, the sword light, carrying the Power of Laws, fell from the sky in an instant. The black waves on the ground were pushed back by the violent energy. The waves surged on the solid ground, and the soldiers under the sword light had already turned into fragments and disappeared.
The surging energy within never disappeared. As the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon above Xu Long grew brighter, sword energies were born amidst the chaotic energy.
These sword energies raged within the soldiers' formation, disrupting the subtle Power of Laws and damaging the connections between them.
The imposing aura emanating from Xu Long was instantly dispelled, and the sword light in the air swirled back once more.
Brown dust covered the solid ground, and dried bloodstains were stirred up. Things that had been among the dust for countless years were now being carried away by streaks of sword energy.
A whooshing sound filled the air, followed by a sudden, rumbling sound that stopped behind Xu Long as his Dharma Body made contact with the bronze chariot.
Beneath the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon, the body of the Dharma Body had become much more solidified, and its use to intercept the bronze chariot provided Xu Long with a sense of security.
The two constantly shifted their positions on the ground, as the soldiers in front of them also adjusted their positions. Heavy attacks condensed in front of them, and the energy rippled within the barrier quickly dissipated.
Perhaps because the energy in the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon and the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram share the same origin, it dissipated extremely quickly in the darkness.
The powerful surges that were about to hit Xu Long were blocked behind him. The roar of his Dharma Body echoed within the barrier, and the painful neighing of the divine steed, along with the crashing of the bronze chariot, threw the barrier into chaos.
The solid ground trembled violently, and the rising dust swirled and rolled in the air. Amidst the billowing brown dust, countless soldiers in black stared intently at Xu Long.
Their empty gazes seemed to shoot from the depths of history, and their stare at Xu Long was somewhat eerie.
The rampant sword energy within the formation was instantly condensed, and the surrounding soldiers squeezed the space for the sword energy to move. He Long's soldiers had already rushed towards Xu Long.
The black waves on the ground began to converge again. The disruption of their formation by the sword light was merely an interlude. The fallen soldiers were replaced by countless black figures behind them, and the murderous aura that was pressing down on Xu Long began to solidify again.
Xu Long's eyes flashed, and the twilight clouds in the sky were instantly cleaved apart. The sword light rose into the air again, but it did not immediately slash down at the warrior. Instead, it kept twirling in the air, condensing one sharp edge after another.
The sharp aura it emitted, carrying a strong Power of Laws, was like a rising sun about to pierce through the barrier. The sharp aura swept across the ground, and the power it brought instantly dispersed the dense killing intent.
At this moment, the sword energy within the black wave seemed to be summoned, and as the sharp edge rose, it followed the edge, instantly enveloping the black wave.
The sword energy that had been squeezed by the soldiers had re-condensed in the air, and at this moment, the soldiers in front had already approached Xu Long.
With a thought, the sword light that had been swirling in the air burst forth in an instant towards the oncoming black tide.
A series of clanging sounds erupted within the barrier, and the sharp sword light swirled in the air, its blades constantly turning. The burst of light then swept straight towards the black tide.
The Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon above Xu Long suddenly darkened, and the sword energy in the formation shot towards the black-clad soldiers as its sharpness swept over them. The soldiers in front of Xu Long were instantly pierced through by the sword energy.
Under the relentless onslaught of sword energy, they had already been reduced to fragments. The soldiers within the formation were swept away by the sharpness of the sword light, and the disappearance of the black waves was like Maze being blown down by the north wind, never to rise again.
At this moment, Xu Long took a step forward and headed towards the black tide. The sword light that burst out in the air fell down again, and the sharpness of the sword light spun rapidly, and a series of fierce sword energies spread out in the formation.
Within the black tide, the connection between the warriors was severed. As the sharpness of the sword light continued to burst forth, the Power of Laws on it surged into the tide along with the sword energy.
With each step Xu Long took, the momentum of the black wave diminished, and under the onslaught of the sword light, the black wave was completely dissipated.
Xu Long was Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon, and an array diagram appeared behind him. The Power of Laws on his body surged, while the battle formation in front of him had been completely pierced.
Xu Long's will was still focused on the movement of his Dharma Body. He heard a rumbling sound coming from the rear. His heart sank, knowing that another unit of soldiers had attacked.
With a thought, the sword light in the air spun once and then immediately retracted, the remaining sharpness carrying sword energy dancing endlessly in the air. When Xu Long turned around, the solid body of his Dharma Body had already become illusory due to the continuous impact of the bronze chariot.
The solid ground was still trembling, and the roar of the Dharma Body had become somewhat weak. It held back the bronze chariot behind Xu Long, watching the chariot sink into the ground and the divine steed neighing in pain.
Xu Long narrowed his eyes, and the Celestial Phenomenon above his head began to rapidly condense energy, while the array diagram that appeared behind him was also compressing a large amount of energy.
His gaze bypassed the Dharma Body and lingered in the distance, where another group of soldiers, carrying tall banners, had already attacked.
The dense aura of slaughter filled the barrier, and divine birds perched beneath the crimson twilight clouds. The approaching warriors carried an overwhelming force, intent on annihilating any enemy that stood in their way.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
More than ten bronze chariots, exuding a murderous aura, slammed violently into the body of the Dharma Body.
The Dharma Body stood on the earth, letting out a final roar at the black tide, its ferocious face filled with resentment. Then, under the relentless impact of the chariot, it finally turned into fragments and vanished.
A rumbling sound echoed from the ground. After the divine steed broke through the Dharma Body's defenses, Xu Long no longer had any means to resist the warriors.
As the towering cart shafts rolled towards him, he could only stand still. Countless black-clad soldiers locked their gazes on him, and as they charged forward, they seemed to merge with the barrier.
The overwhelming power caused the sky above to crack open, and the "thump-thump-thump" sound resounded through the clouds. Behind the bronze chariot, countless black waves had already surrounded Xu Long.
Surrounded by enemies, he did not dodge. Gazing at the approaching black wave, a thought struck him, and the array behind him trembled violently, releasing the massive amount of energy that had been compressed within it.
Rumble!
A tremendous sound resounded within the barrier, and an extremely violent energy erupted in an instant within the encirclement of the black waves, causing the surging black waves to rise up from the solid ground.
The solid ground seemed to be writhing like an earth dragon, lifting countless black-clad soldiers off the ground. The tight formation was violently torn apart by the burst of energy, and a massive shockwave rose from the earth.
The crimson twilight clouds were instantly dispersed, the intense aura of slaughter was scattered by the rolling energy shockwave, and the dark places within the barrier were illuminated in an instant.
The land, which had been silent for countless years, was now completely overturned, and a putrid stench permeated the barrier.
As Xu Long watched the soldiers' formation break apart, a thought struck him, and with a hum of his sword, the sword light that had been gathering momentum in the sky shot out, leaving a long trail in the air.
Xu Long's magical Magic Power surged wildly. He knew that he needed to take advantage of the moment when the soldiers' formation was broken up by the " Spiritual Qi Bombardment " to break the encirclement in an instant. Otherwise, if the soldiers came to their senses, he would be in danger without the protection of his Dharma Body.
As the soldiers' formation dispersed, the sword light condensed into a thick, sharp edge in the air. Before the crawling earth dragons could subside, the sword light found an opening and slashed fiercely down among the soldiers.
With a loud "boom", a large clearing was cleared in front of Xu Long.
The heavy black waves receded amidst the sword light, the banners fluttering in the air toppled in an instant, and the elusive divine bird turned into a phantom.
When the massive, sharp blade slashed down, it raged through the scattered formation like a dragon emerging from the sea, unleashing a chilling sword aura in an instant.
The sharp edge instantly severed the connection between the soldiers, causing the black wave, after Spiritual Qi Bombardment, to completely dissipate.
The residual force of the explosion still lingered within the barrier. Xu Long took another step towards the soldiers. The restraints on his body had already been removed. He needed to finish off the soldiers, whose formation was now scattered, quickly.
The rolling earth dragon was instantly suppressed by the sword light, and the rising black wave fell to the ground. The scattered soldiers retreated one after another, and then re-condensed into small circles on the ground.
After suffering heavy losses, they changed their strategy, trying to divert their forces to deal with Xu Long, but Xu Long did not give them the opportunity!
The Celestial Phenomenon above had been dim for a long time, and the energy that had just been condensed was instantly released in the " Spiritual Qi Bombardment ". Xu Long's Magic Power was not much left. He wanted to take advantage of this hard-won advantage to wipe out all the remaining soldiers!
A flash of light appeared in his eyes, and the sword light rose again in the air. The remaining sword energy beside Xu Long followed the sword light, condensing into dazzling sharpness in the air.
The small circle formation below had already solidified, but they had not yet coordinated to attack Xu Long. However, Xu Long's killing intent was already upon them.
The muffled sounds of "thump thump thump" echoed in the air as sword light flashed and sword energy swept through the air, fiercely attacking the soldiers below.
A powerful Power of Oblivion clung to the blade, causing countless sword energies to emanate from each small circle. The layers of sharpness all fell upon the warriors, and the remaining black waves were annihilated one by one by the sword light.
Ding ding ding!
The clanging of metal produced a chaotic sound. Xu Long's steps drew closer and closer to the warriors. He looked up at the crimson twilight clouds.
After the soldiers collapsed, the earth slowly returned to calm, but the once solid ground was now somewhat undulating.
The intense aura of battle dissipated in the sky, making the crimson twilight clouds even more alluring, while below, a few lingering neighs of horses were carried far away by the north wind.
Xu Long annihilated the two groups of soldiers with lightning speed. His Magic Power was almost depleted. He remained in the arena without moving. After the soldiers were annihilated by the sword light, subtle changes began to occur in the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and the sword light swirled with a hint of killing intent. It had been tainted with the aura of slaughter from the previous battle, and its movements in and out of the soldiers' formation had imbued it with a dense aura of killing intent.
Xu Long retrieved it into his body and nurtured it for a while. Then he released his immense will and sensed the changes in the Celestial Phenomenon within the barrier. The Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram would fluctuate with energy as it changed, and the Celestial Phenomenon could extract the vast energy within it.
As the stars in the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon lit up again, Xu Long's lips finally curled into a slight smile. As the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram continued to change, another light screen appeared before Xu Long's eyes.
He stared at the exit of the light curtain, carefully sensing the energy being drawn into his body and transformed into Magic Power, and suddenly felt conflicted.
There is energy to be extracted from the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, but the danger is also immense. An exit has appeared; should they leave or not?
While he hesitated, the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon above his head had already brightened considerably. Xu Long felt that he could seize more energy within the fifth gate, and the Magic Power he had just consumed had been restored through the Celestial Phenomenon.
Moreover, as the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram continued to change, the surging energy began to impact the body's realm. The meridians, which were originally like a stagnant pool, began to change as the energy poured in.
Xu Long felt a darkness engulf his vision, and the light in front of him gradually blurred. He knew he had missed the exit, and the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram had begun to transfer him into the Sixth Gate.
As he traversed the darkness, the immense energy surging into his body became increasingly apparent, and as he delved deeper into the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, the energy contained within grew ever more powerful.
Xu Long's blocked meridians were also broken open by the surging energy. The powerful energy was guided by the Celestial Phenomenon and then flowed through Xu Long's body. He felt this energy belonging to the City Heart within the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram.
Without angering the City Lord's Manor, Xu Long successfully seized a massive amount of energy from it. The surging energy within his body has been refined into Magic Power, and more and more energy is gathering in the Celestial Phenomenon.
His Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon seemed to be one with the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, acting as a source within the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram, attracting a surge of immense energy.
Xu Long's eyes lit up slightly. The changes in the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram slowed down considerably, and he had already stepped into the barrier within it, the Sixth Gate of the formation.
Within the Sixth Gate's barrier, it differed from the other barriers, featuring undulating mountains and flowing rivers, already faintly resembling the beginnings of a world.
The difference between this and the previous five gates is that the world deep within the Eight Trigrams Formation Diagram has become increasingly complete. It has constructed a simple set of world rules within itself, which is now used to maintain the operation of Phoenix City.
Xu Long gazed into the distance. The distant mountains seemed to be level with the white clouds, the river at his feet seemed to meet the horizon, the colorful clouds on the horizon transformed into long dragons, and wisps of pure air were breathing in and out of the sky.
