Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

4The most difficult aspect of a Flowing Gale Array was not its attack power, but the fact that it was extremely complex to deal with. Moreover, this kind of entanglement often involved the movement of the entire body. If one was not careful, it would easily cause the entire formation to collapse like an avalanche.    0

    

This sort of slight air movement was enough to stir the origin energy fluctuations within a certain range of space. Once the origin energy fluctuations appeared, it would quickly spread, causing the origin energy fluctuations within a larger range of space to appear. As long as there was still movement within the array formation, the origin energy fluctuations would not stop, and the origin energy fluctuations would be magnified like snowballs, finally reaching the limit of the array formation!    

    

At that point, there were only two outcomes left. One was to break through the array, and the other was to trap the martial artist within and die!    

    

Chen Yu's action of stopping to wait for the Essence energy fluctuations to subside after a few steps could be considered as a way to pass through the barrier formation. When Chen Yu first entered the barrier formation, the effect was pretty good, but the further he went, the worse it became. After all, the core zone of the Glowing Gale Array was a hundred times more complicated than the outer zone. It wasn't something where the origin energy wouldn't fluctuate just by walking a few steps forward.    

    

The formation masters that laid down the array formation wouldn't allow this kind of trickery loophole to appear.    

    

In fact, if there really was a massive fluctuation of origin energy, one would lose all initiative if they stood still, falling into a dead end without being able to escape.    

    

The origin energy cloud became denser and denser. After Chen Yu walked 100 meters, the cloud mist became so thick that it was hard to see horses and oxen. Chen Yu could not see far even after he activated his Blood Flame Pupil.    

    

He stopped again. After a full minute, Chen Yu felt that the elemental energy fluctuations around his body did not increase again.    

    

Chen Yu knew that the method to take advantage of the situation had become difficult to sustain and the road ahead had become troublesome.    

    

Calming his mind and calming his breathing, Chen Yu continued forward.    

    

Carefully walking forward another ten meters, Chen Yu suddenly stopped and looked at a willow tree at the side of the path.    

    

If one looked closely, they would see a sheathless sword hanging on a branch of the willow tree. The sword blade was emitting a cold light, but it was not corroded by the passage of time. It was extremely sharp.    

    

Was there a sword hanging on a willow branch by the side of the road?    

    

Moreover, from Chen Yu's perspective, this sword was without a doubt a medium-grade true weapon. Its quality was not inferior to the blade-wielding blade on his back.    

    

Chen Yu was surprised at first, but soon fell into deep thought.    

    

A True Artifact longsword hung by the side of the road, was this a coincidence or was it the doing of the expert who set up the secret realm as well as the Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation?    

    

After pondering for a while, Chen Yu didn't pick up the true weapon sword and continued to carefully move forward.    

    

A Middle Ranked True Artifact was not worth Chen Yu's effort. It would risk triggering the energy fluctuations and completely trigger the Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation.    

    

However, Chen Yu felt that if the existence of this sword came from this person, there might be something else in front of him.    

    

Ignoring the sword, Chen Yu continued to walk forward. The further he went, the more pressure he felt.    

    

Fortunately, Chen Yu had controlled it well, and the Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation did not release any sound waves.    

    

After walking forward for another two hundred meters, Chen Yu stopped again and looked at the ground in front of him.    

    

A handful of Willow Leaf Knife was stabbed into the ground, and a sharp blade could be seen beneath the handle.    

    

On the surface of the saber blade, there were complex and profound engravings all over. Not a single breath was revealed, but there was an extraordinary quality to it.    

    

Staring at the runes on the sword, Chen Yu gulped.    

    

Although it was impossible to see the entire face of the Willow Leaf Knife, but from Bloodfire Emperor's perspective, he was sure that it was a Spirit Treasure!    

    

It was a completely undamaged spirit artifact that had been sealed with a mysterious divine ability!    

    

What did it mean to have an undamaged spirit artifact?    

    

It had to be known that back then, Chen Yu had used a small Flying Dagger spirit artifact to slap Su Qingfeng, who was at Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Astral Stage, away with a face full of dirt and grime, completely obliterating his dignity.    

    

Furthermore, those three Flying Dagger from the black market were just half a piece of crippled spiritual equipment. If they were replaced with a complete spiritual weapon, what kind of power would they have?    

    

With Wu Tie's current strength, it wouldn't be easy for him to display the full might of a perfectly intact totem. However, with Bloodfire Emperor's memory, as long as the totem's spirit and physique weren't completely opposite, there would still be a way.    

    

After standing there for a while, Chen Yu let out a sigh and sensed the surrounding Essence Qi fluctuations.    

    

The mist-like Yuan Qi curled up like smoke and revolved around his body, as if probing Chen Yu's background and showing signs of condensing at any time.    

    

All along the way, slight fluctuations of elemental energy were unavoidable because Chen Yu did not belong to the array. Therefore, even if Chen Yu did not move, it would still affect the flow of qi. Just because he was being cautious, the fluctuations of this origin energy weren't enough to form an attack form.    

    

In the outer room, pulling out a saber from the ground was an extremely simple action. However, in this Wanxiang Astral Flow Formation, such a movement was enough to cause violent fluctuations of Essence.    

    

Furthermore, Chen Yu was sure that there was some kind of secret behind the Willow Leaf Knife. There must be some kind of restriction. As long as he moved it, it would trigger the restriction, causing a huge change in the array.    

    

But would he just let go of a spirit weapon like that?    

    

Ten seconds later, Chen Yu took a deep breath and rushed out like the wind.    

    

A spirit artifact was priceless, and Chen Yu could rely on it to look down upon the entire Minglan City. Thus, he could not just sit idly by and do nothing.    

    

"The purpose of this Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation is to test the person who has entered the array. Originally, I was not allowed to continue moving forward using any tricky methods, so, I might as well give it a gamble!"    

    

With a thought, a few meters of distance passed by and arrived in front of the Willow Leaf Knife, a hand reaching out to grab the handle of the blade.    

    

As Chen Yu rushed forward, the mist-like dense Essence Qi tore a human shaped tunnel open. Immediately afterwards, the Essence Qi that was already rippling began to fluctuate greatly, like a big fish swimming in a calm lake, causing an intense line of water.    

    

When Chen Yu grabbed onto the handle of the saber, he felt a chill coming from the blade. At the same time, the heaven and earth origin energy within a radius of 20 meters came crushing down like a tidal wave.    

    

With a push from Chen Yu's hand, the Willow Leaf Knife Spirit Treasure was easily pulled out of the ground. At the same time, he saw that with the point pulled out as the center, a light aura spread out to the surrounding ground. Then, many runes lit up on the ground of the small path and the surrounding forest.    

    

Just as he expected, the blade was indeed linked to the array. As soon as he pulled the blade out, it immediately triggered a restriction.    

    

The Willow Leaf Knife was like a pool of autumn water, its surface was not covered with as many runes as Chen Yu had imagined, but it was abnormally mysterious. At the same time, it did not give Chen Yu a particularly strong feeling, as if there was some kind of power suppressing the Willow Leaf Knife's power.    

    

Chen Yu didn't have time to examine them further. He leaped up and executed his movement technique to the extreme as he rushed forward like a gale.    

    

Rumble    

    

In the next moment, the already wave-like waves of elemental energy fluctuated violently. As they gathered together and collided, a muffled sound like thunder could be heard.    

    

Origin energy roiled and chased after Chen Yu like a huge wave on the sea. At the same time, among the huge wave formed by Origin energy, there were lights that lit up.    

    

Within a few breaths, Chen Yu was already twenty meters away, leaving the huge wave behind him.    

    

However, as the waves of elemental energy rolled towards him, his speed began to increase rapidly.    

    

From the forest on both sides of the path, more and more Essence Qi was being drawn in like a torrent.    

    

This was what it meant to move the entire body in one go. In a Manifestation level array, the faster a person moved, the faster the origin energy fluctuations would be, and the speed at which the array formation activated would also be faster.    

    

Chen Yu, holding the Willow Leaf Knife, turned his head and looked at the giant wave that was rushing towards him.    

    

The huge wave of elemental energy chasing Chen Yu was getting higher and higher, stronger and stronger. On the wave, it showed the shape of countless horses and oxen, galloping at the same time like thousands of horses and oxen.    

    

Then, as the waves rushed towards Chen Yu, the forms of the oxen and horses were covered by the growing waves. They were replaced by the forms of the birds and fish, the endless birds and fish swimming and accumulating, covering the sky and covering the earth, trying to drown Chen Yu.    

    

In just a few breaths of time, on top of that tsunami of origin energy waves, birds, fish, and other animals sank down into the water, fusing together with the origin energy. Soon after, there were countless more tigers, leopards, and bears.    

    

Soon after, the tigers, leopards, bears, and wolves disappeared from the waves, condensing into a dense mass of origin energy dragons and serpents. Every dragon and snake was covered in scales, as if they were living beings.    

    

Every one of the dragon and serpent seemed to want to break free from the shackles of the whole ball of elemental energy and truly come to life.    

    

Chen Yu felt a pressure and blocking force coming from both sides of him. Although the Yuan Qi did not take form, it was like a strong wind, preventing him from moving forward.    

    

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu pushed the zhen qi in his body to the limit and threw a punch at the Yuan Qi wave that was only five meters away from him.    

    

True energy poured out from his fist, pure and strong. The true energy contained a trace of blood-red. This was a sign that Chen Yu had already merged the power of blood and Qi into his true energy.    

    

However, compared to the tidal wave of elemental energy, Chen Yu's punch seemed insignificant.    

    

BOOM *    

    

Chen Yu's punch exploded after it landed on the huge wave of Essence. Although it was weak, but its purity was still better than the ownerless wave in the Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation. Chen Yu's punch still left a big hole in the wave of Essence.    

    

However, the effect of being hit by a hole was still limited. The next moment, the wave hit Chen Yu.    

    

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"    

    

Endless amounts of elemental energy dragon snakes crashed into Chen Yu's body one after another.    

    

As if being hit by countless hammers at the same time, Chen Yu's clothes suddenly exploded, his hair flew up due to the explosion of elemental energy, and his body was thrown high into the air as he fell heavily onto the ground.
