Episode 141

  It was just at this moment that they suddenly realized that the place where they were staying was actually another formation, and the two elders Kong and Xie stopped in their tracks at the chaotic rock formation, not daring to break through the formation again.

  "Thank you, Brother Dao. Feng Cheng's son has a negligible amount of magical power, but the might of his spell arrays is extremely perilous! This time, he set up the array in haste, if he does it again, how can we guarantee our safety? It would be better to..."

  "Brother Kong Dao's words are indeed correct! I also think so. Why don't we just wait here for the top ten sects to break through the formation with Lu Xian's mighty hand?"

  "It's exactly this principle! The high-level leaders of the various factions on both sides want to capture Feng Cheng, and it's right before our eyes. Why don't we find some spiritual materials and elixirs here instead?"

  "Kong Dao is a noble gentleman!"

  "Where? Where? Haha... "

  And then there's another wave of inadequacy and self-doubt, which is also suffocating.

  "Some families aren't unlucky, they're just moldy!"

  One head complained, and the other released his divine sense to search for it in all directions within this spatial realm. His divine sense was still limited, and ordinary cultivators were only able to release their divine sense a short distance of about ten zhang. However, when insufficient, the restriction would only cause the range of his divine sense to shrink slightly. Yet at this moment, he could also cover an area of over a thousand li! This was because most of what he had cultivated for decades was in his divine sense!

  Time flies, and the days pass in a hurry. It's hard to recognize the divine, but I've managed to find some rare spiritual medicine that's hard to come by even after millions of years. Using my divine object transformation technique, I'll pick it up and put it in my treasure bag - it's all part of the adventure! There's nothing else here except for a single altar-like object in the center of this place.

  "How strange! The five elements here are all in water, and the water element's energy is rich and abundant. Why are they all fire-attribute spiritual herbs?"

  Insufficient to lighten one's body and proceed, all that has been passed through is like this, can't help but feel extremely astonished.

  A few days later, at the altar.

  In the insufficient and humble place, there are still stone arrays surrounding it, with a complete stone as an altar in the center. On it, the inscriptions are intricate and complex, or simple and straightforward like horizontal and vertical hooks, or complicated like paintings, simple and elegant, without any eye-catching places.

  "Alright! The formation is broken, and the array will disperse on its own!"

  Insufficient to take a step and move forward, without any fear or apprehension. Having experienced the desolation of the wilderness in the past, there is no need for fear!

  As I stepped into the stone array, three steps in, a loud shout echoed, and a fiery tongue burst forth from beneath the ground, engulfing everything around me. The roar grew louder, and flames erupted all around, surrounding me with intense heat.

  "Ah! Not good! The grand formation has been activated!"

  Insufficient to suppress the shock and fear, looking around in all directions, the scenery is so terrifying that it's frightening! Where are the grass and trees? The surrounding area of ten thousand miles has become a sea of fire! The flames are raging, and in just half a day, even the earth and rocks have melted and are about to be transformed!

  "No wonder this place is full of fire-attributed objects, it turns out that the water-attributed array has sealed off the fire-attributed one! This place is actually a massive Water-Fire Array! Ah! The location where someone's family resides must be at the core of the array, and their Fire-attributed Yuan Force will soon reach its peak. In just a few days' time, the Fire-attributed Yuan Force will gather at the array's core, and that person will surely be reduced to ashes!"

  Insufficient energy caused his body to emit a protective divine light, but the gradually increasing scorching heat made his skin turn purple, like a ghostly creature, almost without human color!

  Three days later, the time was not enough to withstand the scorching heat, like a dog in the summer heat, with its mouth wide open. At this moment, the space of ten thousand miles condensed into just over a hundred miles, and the flames that surrounded it were also a hundred times hotter than before. It was not enough to try to move the spirit to connect with the original source power to protect itself, but unfortunately, at that time, even after trying a hundred times, it still didn't work!

  "Alas! Heaven is destroying me! This road doesn't lead anywhere, what shall I do?"

  Insufficient skin and flesh, dare not breathe through the mouth, fearing the flames scorching the internal organs. At this moment, it has already been transformed into an inner breath method. However, the force of the fire is increasingly intense, unable to help but loudly shout out. By the next day at noon, the insufficiency had become dizzy and near death, yet the person had arrived on top of the stone platform.

  The flames erupted more fiercely, and just as they were about to subside, the killing technique suddenly activated when he closed his eyes. This was entirely an instinctual reaction, not a deliberate action. As this technique was activated, the spiritual energy inside and outside of his body surged greatly, and the fire-attributed yuan force was rapidly absorbed into his body. At this moment, the fire-attributed yuan force had already become as smooth as water, and with the space shrinking, it was like a great wave being restrained by four walls, unable to escape. This was an opportunity that could not be missed, and with a loud rumbling sound, the force burst forth in a powerful surge. Poor Insufficient had almost fainted from the pain, but unfortunately, the fire-attributed yuan force poured into his body at this moment, making him feel like he was about to die, with an intense pain that filled his entire being, and a loud wailing sound. Insufficient's face twisted in agony, almost losing all semblance of humanity. In just half a short period of time, his body had already begun to swell up like it was about to explode. Insufficient had no choice but to use the killing technique to guide the fire-attributed spiritual energy deep into his bones and marrow, where the yuan force in his dantian and meridians was also on the verge of exploding! The pain from this process was too great, causing his muscles and skin to feel like they were being forged and tempered, with a gradual swelling and bulging of his body. If he exploded at this moment, it would not just be his physical body that would be destroyed, but also his soul, yuan spirit, and divine sense would all be annihilated! Insufficient let out a long sigh, thinking to himself in his heart:

  "Let it be! Let it be! Death is death, what's the use of grieving!"

  Pfft!

  A flash of golden light shone brightly, and suddenly a mouthful of air was exhaled. A faint smile appeared on his face as he closed his eyes and fainted away.

  Pffft! Pffft! Pffft!

  The second and third, the fire line yuan force light burst open, re-condensed like a flame, floating around. The flames gradually gathered more, burning fiercely, the stone platform high temperature like a furnace. On it, a small dewdrop-shaped carving suddenly flashed, emitting a bright crystal light. At this time, the body was already covered with sparkling bubbles, and the crystal clear water droplets were only for an instant before being scorched like charcoal.

  At that moment, the snowflake-shaped carving in the center of the stone platform suddenly opened, and flakes of snow flew out from inside, meeting the sparks as they went. A thread of coolness gradually emerged all around.

  Before he knew it, he was sitting quietly like a statue, but suddenly opened his eyes, looked around in surprise, and saw the situation around him, greatly perplexed and unable to understand.

  "Snowflakes? This... this... where did the power of water come from? Hmm! Someone's still there!"

  However, in any case, the water element's power has arrived and saved his life!

  Snowflakes flew out of the stone pedestal, flying in all directions, like willow catkins floating gently, fluttering and drifting. Although flames shot out in all directions, the snowflakes floated about without showing any signs of melting. In just a few hours, the area around the stone pedestal had become as cool and clear as on an autumn day.

  Insufficient joy, after all, the sky has no absolute way for humans! Later, crawling on the stone platform, carefully deciphering the secrets of this array. The current priority is to escape first. Who knows what kind of story will be born when the power of water and fire reaches its peak? As for the original power of the water line, it's not enough to guess, because the array method in this place is based on the principle of mutual restraint between water and fire, and the array on this stone platform is an array that extracts the original power of the water line. When the large array is activated in this space, it will be restrained by fire, and the water line will appear. However, generally speaking, when water and fire are mutually restrained, the power of the large array must be reduced. Is the purpose of this large array to reduce its power or is there another intention? Why set up an array to reduce power? What other intentions are there? Insufficient shook his head, then lowered his head again and crawled on the ground, carefully examining it inch by inch.

  This week, the two lines of water and fire are still in a stalemate, while the collapse of space is still ongoing.

  "But it shouldn't be! According to the theory of Water and Fire phases holding each other, space should stabilize. Why is this place still collapsing?"

  Insufficient to knit one's brow in thought, unable to think of a way out, he lifted his head and looked around. At this moment, the surrounding area had shrunk to about ten miles in size. Where the two lines of water and fire intersected, thunder rumbled, lightning flashed incessantly, and the affected areas were ravaged, with gullies and streams cut like giant blades. The central area was pitch black, while the outer layers gradually faded to a bright red like blood! This scene was heart-stopping!

  The view was insufficient, and suddenly a sense of vigilance arose. The thunderstorm gradually expanded, its power increasing, and in just a few more hours, this place would inevitably become a sea of thunder. At that time, I feared that the countless lightning strikes would destroy my body and extinguish my soul.

  "If only I had known earlier about such a wonderful thing! Indeed! But how can this be good?"

  It's no longer enough to circle around the stone pedestal hundreds of times. Think about it, on the upper seat of the formation, where is the protruding part of the mechanism? It's already been searched for countless times, where is it?

  "The stone pedestal is neither protruding nor recessed, and there's no special place to be found. How can this be good?"

  Flash!

  A bolt of lightning struck, hitting the stone pedestal directly.

  Rumble!

  A loud clap of thunder followed immediately.

  Hair stands on end, hair like a crown! The whole body shakes like a sieve! Body like a slanted willow, followed by chaotic worship. Lightning passes, the whole body turns red and black, soft and fluffy, falls to the stone platform.

  "My daughter! Someone from our household is dead!"

  At this moment, the stone platform suddenly produced suction power. Within a radius of dozens of miles, the thunder and lightning in the sky were wildly active, and suddenly struck the stone platform one after another.

  Not enough to see all the scenery, shouted loudly:

  "My name is Hui!"

  Then fainted and fell unconscious.
