Stirring Panic, Divining Heavenly Secrets
Three days later.
Chen Yu looked at the second layer of the protective array, which was cracked and teetering on the brink of collapse under the onslaught of attacks, as if it would crumble at any moment.
Over the past three days, the formation has consumed a large amount of energy, and the Spirit Stone in the sect's treasury have been depleted.
The disciples in the sect were all severely depleted of their spiritual energy, and their faces were pale.
If this continues, the sect's protective formation will surely be breached. At that point, the Pure Void Sect will likely face certain doom, and destruction will be imminent.
What weighed heavily on his mind was that the three Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts from his sect had been trapped in the formation for three days and had not made a move.
Judging from the situation, it seems the odds are against them.
If anything were to happen to the three masters, even if the Pure Void Sect were to escape the immediate calamity, it would only fall from grace and become a second-rate sect.
At that time, those people and sects that Pure Void Sect had offended would probably not miss the opportunity to kick them while they were down.
Thinking of this, Chen Yu's expression grew even more unpleasant.
He no longer expected his master and the other two to break through the formation. At present, the only option was to put aside all pride and seek help from friendly sects.
He took out his communication Law Artifact, entered a distress message, formed a hand seal, and pointed with his fingertips.
However, the communication Law Artifact did not respond at all; the message seemed to have sunk without a trace and could not be sent out at all.
Chen Yu's heart skipped a beat, his face turned ashen, and even his last glimmer of hope was extinguished.
He clenched his fists, his voice filled with a gnashing hatred:
"Who exactly are you? Such deep scheming! You even cut off our communication Law Artifact, severing our Pure Void Sect's last lifeline."
Hearing this, Liu Yi smiled slightly, feeling somewhat smug.
The Chaos Yin-Yang Five Elements Mote Formation is now an upgraded and improved version of his, forming its own world and isolating it from the outside world.
He didn't want to repeat the mistakes made at the Temple of the God of Light headquarters.
Last time, the lack of proper isolation between the inside and outside allowed the God of Light to learn the news and descend prematurely, almost causing him to suffer a setback.
Seeing Chen Yu's face filled with despair, Liu Yi decided to add fuel to the fire, completely crushing their will to resist.
His voice suddenly rang out from all directions, ethereal and unpredictable, making it impossible for Chen Yu to pinpoint his location by sound.
"Since you're so eager to know, then I'll tell you: I am Liu Yi."
Don't even think about using any communication Law Artifact to call for help. This formation isolates the inside from the outside; not a single message from you will get through. Just wait to die.
"Liu Yi, it was you!"
Chen Yu's face instantly turned ashen, and his hand gripping the communication Law Artifact trembled slightly.
"You actually managed to trap my Pure Void Sect all by yourself; that's quite an achievement."
However, there may still be room for negotiation between us. If you are willing to break the formation, I can decide to wipe the slate clean of any grudges between you and my Pure Void Sect.
Liu Yi scoffed, his tone full of disdain. "I have wiped out all the Pure Void Sect cultivators in Yue State."
Can you let go of this hatred? Besides, even if you said you could, do you think I would believe you?
Like I said before, just obediently wait to die.
Oh, by the way, don't expect those three Tribulation Transcendence Realm to break the formation, because they're almost dead too."
Chen Yu's heart sank, instantly realizing that the delaying tactic was useless, and he retorted:
"Impossible. With your strength, how could you possibly kill Wang Hao and the others so quickly? Unless you had helpers."
Furthermore, you have no idea of the true power of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Killing three Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts from my sect will not be so easy.
I'm sure they'll break through the formation in no time. Then, I'll see how you die!
Liu Yi chuckled lightly, his tone somewhat nonchalant:
"Then you can wait patiently. I believe the outcome will be clear soon."
The conversation between Liu Yi and Chen Yu reached the ears of everyone in the Pure Void Sect, instantly causing an uproar throughout the entire sect.
Everyone's expression changed drastically, their faces filled with panic, and cries of alarm rose and fell:
"How could it be Liu Yi? Even if he cultivates rapidly, he's only at the Divine Acupoint Realm at most. How could he possibly trap our entire sect?"
"I can't hold on any longer. The speed at which I absorb the spiritual Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and convert it into spiritual power can't keep up with the amount I consume. My spiritual power is almost depleted."
Damn it! How did we get involved with this jinx?
"It's all the fault of those idiots in the sect's higher-ups who insisted on forcibly seizing 70% of Yue State's Energy Points, violating the rules of the Fairness System, which caused me to have my system unbound."
Otherwise, how could we be in such a passive position?
"If we hadn't been unbound from the system, we could have used the system to call for help, or even escaped the formation directly through Spatial Teleportation."
"That's right! I've been working like a slave in the outer sect for so long, and it wasn't easy for me to finally get promoted to the inner sect. And then I got screwed over like this by the Pure Void Sect. I'm just incredibly unlucky."
"If I had known, I shouldn't have participated in the Immortal Ascension Conference back then, and I shouldn't have come to this wretched place."
"I originally thought I could buy Artificial Heavenly Spirit Root through the system and completely change my cultivation aptitude, but what happened?"
Not only has the system been unbound, but now I'm probably going to lose my life here.
"We're doomed! If those three Tribulation Transcendence Realm elders really die, then we're completely finished."
Panic spread like a plague, and the morale that had been barely maintained was now completely shattered.
Li Zhe also overheard Liu Yi and Chen Yu's conversation, and his expression changed drastically.
Now that the situation had come to a life-or-death moment, he took out his natal Law Treasure, the Heavenly Secret Eight Trigrams Diagram.
This Law Treasure has been riddled with cracks since the last time the system was tested. He had been so focused on healing his injuries that he hadn't had time to repair it.
He formed hand Hand Seals, sending beams of spiritual light into the Heavenly Secret Eight Trigrams Diagram, while rapidly chanting incantations:
"The clear sky and turbid earth are divided into yin and yang, the stars and constellations shine with wondrous light. The wind stirs and the clouds surge, revealing the changes of heaven, the Tianji are hidden in yin and yang and the eight trigrams."
After reciting it, he suddenly bit his tongue, spitting Essence Blood into the Heavenly Secret Eight Trigrams Diagram.
In an instant, the Heavenly Secret Eight Trigrams Diagram burst forth with crimson spiritual light. As the light flowed, the positions of the eight trigrams—Qian, Kun, Kan, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen, and Dui—rapidly rotated and evolved.
"Snap!"
A sharp crack suddenly rang out, and the Heavenly Secret Eight Trigrams Diagram shattered completely.
Li Zhe shuddered, coughing up another mouthful of blood. His eyes glazed over as he stared blankly at the fragments of the Heavenly Secret Eight Trigrams Diagram, muttering to himself:
"It's over, the Pure Void Sect is finished. Wusheng, Wusheng!"
Seeing that his few words had thrown the entire Pure Void Sect into chaos, even dimming the spiritual light of the sect's protective array, Liu Yi couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
Just then, the second layer of the protective array suddenly collapsed with a few crisp "crack" sounds.
Now only the third layer of defensive light shield remains to withstand the attack.
This startled the Pure Void Sect disciples even more, and their cries of alarm were even louder than before.
Chen Yu saw this and his anger flared. It was the disciples' panic that threw them off balance, reducing the supply of spiritual energy and causing the second layer of defensive light shield to collapse even faster.
He immediately shouted sternly, "Everyone stay calm! Don't be intimidated by Liu Yi's words; he's just deliberately trying to sow discord."
The three Tribulation Transcendence Realm elders could break out of the formation at any moment. If you panic now and fail to concentrate on activating the formation, you will be in trouble.
"If the patriarchs don't even come out by then, and the protective formation is broken first, wouldn't you all die unjustly?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads. The Pure Void Sect disciples, who had been in a panic, gradually calmed down, resumed channeling their spiritual energy, and fully activated the sect's protective formation.
Seeing this, Liu Yi shook his head helplessly. It seemed that relying solely on a few words of psychological pressure would only have so much effect.
His gaze darkened slightly, and he had already made up his mind: the key now is to deal with those three Tribulation Transcendence Realm first.
Once they are dead, the entire Pure Void Sect will become fish on a chopping board.
