Trapped, the Dao Integration Realm
Liu Yi felt a sense of unease, a sudden feeling of crisis washing over him.
It quickly scanned its surroundings, simultaneously putting the Little Yellow beside it into its Pet Space, and was about to fly away into the distance.
However, at that moment, the Temple of the God of Light suddenly lit up with flowing light from all eight directions, and a light array instantly rose up, completely enveloping the temple.
"I was careless! It's true what they say, 'The hunter always gets the hunted!'"
Liu Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks, his expression instantly turning serious.
He never imagined that his momentary focus on the Xuanyi World and slight lapse in vigilance would lead to his downfall in this unexpected situation.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind as he repeatedly analyzed the reasons for his exposure.
Has something happened to Bai Qianqian?
He immediately dismissed the idea.
That Child of Fortune; it's impossible for them to have any mishaps so easily.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me—could it be that the negative energy had revealed its presence?
That's highly likely! It's all my fault for not thinking things through properly; I shouldn't have plotted against the God of Light in the temple where I lived.
Now we are trapped in the formation, a truly careless mistake that has led to our downfall. We must be more cautious in our future actions.
Liu Yi's expression shifted between light and dark, with hints of frustration appearing from time to time.
Attempting to sense the inner world, I found that the connection was unobstructed and not blocked by any formation.
I tried contacting the Xuanyi World again, and it was also without any obstacles.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief. As long as his life was safe, the battle was not over yet, and it was still uncertain who would win or lose.
Although he could have directly entered the Xuanyi World to break free from the array's constraints, he chose not to do so.
He worried that once he entered the Xuanyi World, he might never be able to return to the Azure Billows Realm.
The Azure Billows Realm is very important to him right now, and he doesn't want to leave.
A majestic voice suddenly resounded within the Fakong:
"Sinner, how dare you defy divine might! The God of Light has decreed your execution; today is your death day!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yi's heart stirred, and a bold guess surfaced in his mind:
Could it be that the negative energy really did harm the God of Light?
Otherwise, the other side would certainly not have just sent people to ambush them; given his advantage of being in the temple's semi-home territory, he might even have taken direct action.
The fact that the God of Light has not yet appeared suggests that he has likely been injured by his own scheme.
Of course, there may be other reasons why the God of Light cannot take direct action.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi shouted, "You say I've offended divine might? Then let the God of Light come and beat me himself!"
"Insolence! Sinners dare to disrespect God, they deserve to die!" An angry voice boomed in the Fakong.
Before the words were even finished, the Fakong instantly became a turbulent storm.
A roaring fire dragon swept in, lightning bolts danced like silver snakes, meteors crashed down with fiery tails, and a gale howled like sharp blades...
A barrage of attacks rained down on Liu Yi like a storm.
Seeing the fierce attack, Liu Yi immediately took out the Heaven-Opening Artifact from the Heavenly Dao Space within his inner world.
In an instant, he stood on Chaos Azure Lotus, with the Cauldron of Creation above his head and the Heaven-Opening Sword firmly in his hand.
The Chaos Azure Lotus burst forth with brilliant green light, and the Cauldron of Creation also surged forth with the light of creation, forming two indestructible protective light shields that firmly protected him.
The fierce attacks bombarded the light shield, only creating ripples before quickly subsiding, unable to harm him in the slightest.
Seeing that the attack had been blocked, Liu Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief. His sharp gaze swept across the Fakong as he began to concentrate on probing for the flaws in the array's core.
He soon discovered that the formation was arranged according to the eight trigrams: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui.
Since the formation is based on the Bagua (Eight Trigrams), it cannot escape the fundamental principle of the Bagua's operation, and there are patterns to follow.
He immediately focused his attention and analyzed the flaws in the formation.
The formation's attacks lasted for three quarters of an hour. Various methods, including fire dragons, lightning, and meteorites, had been used three times in succession, but they still could not break through the defense.
"We've found a weakness!"
A glint of light flashed in Liu Yi's eyes, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He gripped the Heaven-Opening Sword tightly and suddenly unleashed the Heaven-Opening Divine Ability.
A Heaven-Opening sword light, capable of splitting the heavens and earth, slashed out, directly tearing through the void, and it seemed as if a new world was being created.
With a single sword strike, the world lost its color, and the Fakong was instantly shattered.
The Heaven-Opening Sword then ripped through the void, severing the array flags and killing the Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator who was holding them.
In an instant, the Fakong twisted and changed, then completely collapsed.
"Oh no! The formation has been broken!"
Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the formation collapse.
While the Heaven-Opening Divine Ability is powerful enough to instantly break through formations, it also consumes a great deal of energy.
Without unleashing his inner world, he currently only has enough energy to unleash the Heaven-Opening Divine Ability ten more times, so he plans to save it for a crucial moment.
Without hesitation, he instantly unleashed seven more earth-shattering sword beams, striking towards the remaining seven Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm flags.
The seven Spirit Transformation cultivators' expressions changed drastically when they saw the sharp sword light approaching and the overwhelming aura of death descending.
They hadn't yet recovered from the backlash of the broken formation, and now, faced with such terrifying sword light, they were utterly powerless to resist. They let out a scream and died on the spot.
"Sinner! How dare you! You dare kill a divine messenger before me! You deserve to die!"
A furious roar exploded, followed by a Sword-Ray carrying terrifying pressure that pierced through the air.
"Oh no, it's Dao Integration Realm cultivator!"
Liu Yi felt the earth-shattering power, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately turned around and swung his sword, a sword light meeting the incoming Sword-Ray.
"Boom!"
The two swords clashed, unleashing a deafening roar, and violent energy swept in all directions.
Liu Yi thrown backward by the shock and barely managed to regain his footing.
When he saw the four people who had suddenly appeared around him, his expression instantly became extremely serious.
"One Dao Integration Realm and three Void Return Realm, they really think highly of me."
"Sinner! Relying on the power of your Law Treasure, you slaughtered eight Nascent Spirit Transformation Realm envoys of my Temple of the God of Light. You have quite the audacity! Kneel down and surrender at once!"
The Dao Integration Realm cultivator, Xu Liang, looked down at Liu Yi with disdain.
Hearing that condescending tone, Liu Yi's eyes turned cold, and he felt a wave of nausea.
They've already reached the Dao Integration Realm, yet they still speak with such a charlatan-like tone.
The people of the Temple of the God of Light are indeed all hypocrites cut from the same cloth.
"A bunch of charlatans, come and kill me if you dare!"
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yi suddenly turned around and slashed at the nearest Void Return Realm cultivator with his sword.
The sword light tore through the sky, and the cultivator was caught off guard and blasted backward.
Taking advantage of the moment, he broke through the encirclement and flew swiftly towards the Purple Star City.
They dared not use Spatial Teleportation, fearing that they would be attacked during the teleportation process and fall into spatial turbulence.
"How dare you! This sinner is courting death!"
A furious roar rose again from behind, and three attacks followed one after another, engulfing everything in their path.
Unable to dodge in time, Liu Yi had no choice but to activate the Chaos Azure Lotus and the Cauldron of Creation to defend with all their might and withstand the attack.
With a "crack," the first layer of protective light shield was instantly shattered, and the second layer was cracked open.
His Qi and Blood surged from the shock, but he gritted his teeth and accelerated, using the force to fly even faster towards the city's outskirts.
