A Round Crystal Stone Hiding a Great Secret of the Primordial World

A beam of red light burst forth and shot straight into the sky!

With a "whoosh," a dense Spiritual Qi, contained within this pillar of light, enveloped Han Zhongli.

Within that pillar of light, Han Zhongli could clearly feel that the Spiritual Qi within his body was being drawn away. However, Han Zhongli did not mind at all. His mind was completely immersed in this rich Spiritual Qi, greedily enjoying it. Under the nourishment of this Spiritual Qi, his body was constantly becoming more resilient and solid.

"Boom..."

As Han Zhongli absorbed the dense Spiritual Qi into his body, the entire space shook violently. The shock almost destroyed the entire cave. Han Zhongli and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King were startled by the sudden tremor.

The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King quickly steadied himself, then opened his eyes and looked around. He discovered that a deep pit had appeared on the once flat ground.

Seeing this, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King's expression changed drastically. He quickly circulated his Spiritual Qi to resist the sudden impact, then looked at Han Zhongli with a worried expression and said, "Li'er, what are you doing? You know that suddenly absorbing Spiritual Qi at this time will be too much for your body to handle, yet you still want to break through?"

Hearing the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King's reproach, Han Zhongli shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Master, I was too focused just now and forgot to control the True Essence within my body. I didn't expect to be overwhelmed by this powerful force, which is why I failed. However, thankfully, I succeeded. Now, my cultivation has finally broken through to the Early Divine Emperor Stage. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Hehe, Li'er, congratulations on your breakthrough! I'm so happy for you! However, although your cultivation has improved, you haven't fully mastered the power of this round crystal yet. Now, you need to integrate your True Essence and soul power into this round crystal," said the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King.

Upon hearing this, Han Zhongli nodded, then slowly channeled his True Essence into his right hand. As Han Zhongli channeled his True Essence, the round crystal that Han Zhongli had been holding began to emit a red light. This light was filled with powerful spiritual energy, and after Han Zhongli channeled his True Essence, the round crystal actually began to slowly grow larger.

"Buzzing..."

A deep, heavy, and powerful buzzing sound rang out. With this buzzing sound, Han Zhongli felt as if something in his sea of consciousness was struggling frantically, trying to escape, but it was firmly suppressed by that red light.

"Buzzing..."

Just then, Han Zhongli felt a sudden, sharp pain in his right arm, a piercing, excruciating pain that spread throughout his body, almost causing Han Zhongli in agony.

Fortunately, Han Zhongli his teeth and endured the pain at the crucial moment. He then focused all his True Essence and soul power on his right arm.

As Han Zhongli poured all his True Essence and soul power into his right arm, the red light on Han Zhongli right arm condensed into a circular pattern on its surface, covered with countless dense lines.

As the patterns on Han Zhongli's right arm slowly emerged, their shapes became clearer and clearer. Soon, a small circular formation was formed on Han Zhongli's right arm.

Upon seeing the circular formation, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King was greatly surprised. She quickly stood up, looked at Han Zhongli in astonishment, and exclaimed, "Li'er, you... you actually have this formation on your right arm! Could it be that you have mastered this formation?"

"Yes, Master, this disciple has mastered this formation," Han Zhongli nodded and replied.

Hearing Han Zhongli's confirmation, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King was even more shocked. Could there really be someone in this world who had mastered a formation in just over ten days? Moreover, he had not yet reached the Peak Divine Emperor Stage. If he were given a few more days, his strength would definitely increase dramatically again. At that time, he would probably be a Divine Venerable!

"Li'er, what kind of formation is this? Why have I never seen it before?" the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King asked.

Upon hearing the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King's question, Han Zhongli chuckled smugly and said, "This formation is called the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Formation'."

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Formation?" The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King frowned slightly, then pondered for a moment before shaking his head and saying, "The Myriad Beasts Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Formation? I seem to have heard of it. It's said to be an extremely powerful formation, but in the entire star field, it's just one of the most common formations, not some profound one. Li'er, where did you learn this formation from?"

Hearing the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King's question, Han Zhongli quickly explained, "Master, you are unaware that many powerful martial arts techniques and formations in the Star Domain are monopolized by certain major powers. There are many smaller formations like the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Formation' in the Star Domain. Moreover, these formations are nothing compared to Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Formation 'Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Formation.' Their power and effect are less than one ten-thousandth of its strength. These formations are basically set up by the major sects specifically to deal with enemies or allies."

Upon hearing Han Zhongli's explanation, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox King suddenly understood, then nodded and sighed, "I never imagined that such a powerful formation existed among us humans! If other major powers in the star field were to learn of this formation's immense power, it would likely bring endless bloodshed."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhongli smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "Master, please rest assured about these matters. Not only have I mastered the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Devouring Formation,' but I have also obtained the 'Xuanming Chaos Formation.' This 'Xuanming Chaos Formation' is a very powerful formation that can not only devour the opponent's soul power but also refine the opponent's body into a part of oneself. Of course, the consumption of this Xuanming Chaos Formation Array is also extremely high, so I haven't been willing to use it. After all, I still need this Xuanming Chaos Formation Array to improve my cultivation."
