Chapter 12653 Strange Military Formation

Chapter 12653 Strange Military Formation
"What?! It was actually the people from Shenbing Manor who stole it! We fought tooth and nail here, and they just reaped the benefits!" Liu Heweng couldn't help but say angrily.

"We must get it back. I can't swallow this insult."

The surrounding allies were also in an uproar. The elders and disciples of the Dao Asking Sect roared angrily, brandished their weapons, and thought of flattening the Divine Weapon Manor.

Ye Chen slowly straightened up. Although his Heavenly Demon form had dissipated, a lingering dark aura still surrounded him.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. The Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword hummed and trembled in his palm, its blade gleaming faintly. "No need for further words, chase after them!"

The Star Seal is key to fighting the Chaos God and must not fall into the hands of anyone else.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chen flew out of Ziwei Star first. The black and white reincarnation energy drew a long halo behind him, like a shooting star streaking across the sea of ​​stars.

Liu Heweng, Ye Xingcai, and others followed closely behind, while Immortal Venerable Jingliu led his forces to cover the rear, ensuring they were not attacked by the infected Chaos.

The closer one gets to the manor, the stronger the murderous aura in the air becomes. One can see that the Divine Weapon Manor is surrounded by an array with silver runes flowing across it, each rune corresponding to a phantom of a master's weapon.

"I didn't expect that Shenbing Manor was prepared all along!"

"It seems they had planned this all along; that old devil Shen Lian set up a grand formation in advance!"

The crowd stopped in front of the great formation, discussing among themselves.

The leaping sword shadows, the spears flashing with lightning, and the longswords radiating frost filled the entire formation with a chilling aura.

"Lord of Reincarnation, why don't we just force our way in?" Liu Heweng suggested from the side.

"That's right, it's just a formation. With so many of us here, are we afraid of it?"

Ye Chen remained silent, using his Primordial Spirit Eye to examine the array before him.

The entire Divine Weapon Manor is a huge floating fortress, forged from hundreds of millions of pieces of star iron. The entire formation directly twists the surrounding air into the shape of weapons, making it difficult to force your way through.

"Such a powerful array aura." Immortal Venerable Jingliu also noticed the unusual nature of the array, his brows furrowing.

Immediately, the Earth God's authority circulated in his palm, and the earth-yellow spiritual patterns trembled, attempting to penetrate the formation, but were directly suppressed by the weapons on the formation.

"This formation is a bit strange." Immortal Venerable Jingliu took a deep breath, knowing that his Earth Divine Authority was the most effective counter to formations.

Ye Chen activated his Primordial Spirit Eye once more, and saw a black flag hanging inside the formation. Embroidered on the flag were the four ancient characters "All Laws Are Weapons," the characters sharp as knives, as if they were about to pierce the sky.

"It's an array formed by the fusion of the Emperor's divine authority and the divine authority of military affairs. It's indeed extraordinary." Ye Chen nodded in agreement. "They created this killing array, just waiting for us to walk right into their trap."

"What do we do then, Uncle Ye?" Ye Xingcai clutched Ye Chen's clothes, her little face full of worry. "They're protected by an array. If we force our way in..."

"We have to give it a try!" Ye Chen interrupted Ye Xingchen. "Elder Liu, you try the Fire Technique first. Immortal Venerable Liuli, prepare the Earth Divine Authority. Once the formation shows a flaw, we will force it open."

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison and began the operation according to Ye Chen's instructions.

Elder Liu and the others formed hand seals, and crimson-gold heavenly fire condensed into pillars of fire, which slammed fiercely into the array's light shield.

The moment the pillar of fire collided with the light barrier, the phantom above it suddenly expanded, and long spears shattered the pillar of fire into fragments, then absorbed it again.

Everyone noticed that the entire formation had not been depleted at all; on the contrary, its aura had become even stronger.

Ye Chen's face darkened. Just as he had expected, the core of this formation was transformation; any attack would be transformed into "soldier".

Just then, the gates of Shenbing Manor slowly opened, and a figure stood at the entrance, dressed in black armor with a cold expression. It was Shen Lian, the manor lord of Shenbing Manor.

He held a long, jet-black spear in his hand, which exuded a terrifying aura.

Behind him followed dozens of core elders from the Divine Weapon Manor, each wielding a weapon that exuded an aura identical to that of the formation.

"Lord of Reincarnation, how have you been?" Shen Lian's lips curled into a mocking smile, his voice carrying through the formation. "Do you think you can break through the Myriad Laws Weapon Transformation Formation that I and the Heavenly Emperor created with your small force? Don't dream!"

"Shen Lian, hand over the Star Seal!" Ye Chen said, gripping the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword tightly and pointing it directly at Shen Lian. "Otherwise, I will raze your Divine Weapon Manor to the ground today!"

"Stomp it flat?" Shen Lian couldn't help but laugh, casually pulling out a black box. The box was wrapped with chaotic star chains, and he could feel the stellar fluctuations emanating from the Star Seal inside.

"The Seal of All Stars is right here. Lord of Reincarnation, don't talk big. If you have the ability, come and take it. I'm afraid you'll die today in this Array of All Laws Become Weapons and Transform into Dao."

Shen Lian's mocking laughter echoed throughout the entire Divine Weapon Manor. Ye Chen remained silent, the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword gleaming in his hand representing his determination.

"I'm determined to get the Star Seal. I'll go in and give it a try!" Ye Chen took a step forward, his aura of reincarnation gathering around him. "You guys provide support from the outside. Once I break the formation, you guys storm into the Divine Weapon Manor."

"Ye Chen, I'll go with you!" Immortal Venerable Jingliu stepped forward and said, "My Earth Divine Authority can interfere with the power of the formation and help you break it."

“I can help you too, Uncle Ye,” Ye Xingcai said.

Looking at their worried faces, Ye Chen felt a warmth in his heart, but still shook his head: "This formation is a bit strange. Ordinary methods are useless, and with more people, more may be transformed."

"I'll go in alone, making me a smaller target and easier to find weaknesses in the formation. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

After saying that, Ye Chen did not hesitate any longer. He leaped up, and as the gas enveloped his whole body, he transformed into a stream of light and rushed directly into the formation.

In an instant, the phantom images of weapons within the entire formation surged, and countless swords, spears, and lances emerged from them, raining down on Ye Chen like a storm.

Ye Chen's expression shifted, and he wielded the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, the golden sword light directly slicing through it.

"It doesn't seem that terrifying." Ye Chen looked at the shattered fragments of the weapon.

"Oh, not that scary?" Shen Lian laughed loudly from the side. "Do you know what it means to be a weapon in every situation?"

The weapons that had been shattered rose up again, turning into smaller daggers and darts. In an instant, they converged and transformed into a longsword, which flew towards Ye Chen.

"The transformation ability of this formation is indeed extraordinary." Ye Chen felt a chill in his heart. The Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword drew an arc in front of him, once again cutting down the surrounding weapons.

Shen Lian, together with his disciples, also began to increase the power of the formation.

The once clear sky was no longer gentle, the breeze no longer warm, and everything had turned into sharp weapons.

"Enemy at every turn, swords at every breath, this is something." The moment Ye Chen had a defensive thought, the formation caught it and transformed it into a black blade of energy that slashed down from behind him.

Ye Chen reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side. His blade energy slashed at the boulder behind him, shattering it into fragments that transformed into countless small swords that surrounded him once again.

"Can even thoughts be transformed into weapons?"

Ye Chen's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He tried to suppress his thoughts, but the more he suppressed them, the more uncontrollable the anxiety, anger, and worry in his heart became.

These emotions, once they surfaced, were captured by the formation and transformed into different weapons.

His anxiety transformed into tangled chains, attempting to bind his limbs.

Anger transformed into a giant, burning axe, which crashed down upon him with an aura of destruction.

Worry transformed into a cold, long whip, lashing against his body.

Ye Chen was forced to constantly dodge and parry, and the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword was swung faster and faster, forming an impenetrable barrier of golden sword light around him.

However, the transforming power of the formation seemed inexhaustible. Every time he blocked an attack, the next attack would come at him, mixed with his previous attack.

Moreover, as the formation operated more and more, not only his own emotions and thoughts, but even the sounds in the air and the changes in light and darkness were transformed into weapons. Even his breathing was turned into fine needles piercing his throat.

"No, I have to use some means to try to break the nodes within the formation, otherwise the power of this formation will only get stronger and stronger, and eventually I won't be able to withstand it."

"Slay them all!"

Ye Chen roared, gripping the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword tightly with both hands. All the strange thoughts in his mind were transformed into a willpower that could cut through everything, and he slashed at the array points in front of him.

Unfortunately, the sword energy was forcibly transformed by the formation as soon as it flew out, turning into weapons that attacked Ye Chen once again.

"Useless!" Shen Lian's laughter rang out again. "Lord of Reincarnation, the stronger your power, the stronger the weapons transformed from the formation. Do you think you can break the formation by destroying the nodes? You're too naive."

"The nodes of this formation are every piece of meteorite iron, every disciple, and even every wisp of air in the entire Divine Weapon Manor. Unless you can destroy this place in one blow, you will never be able to break the formation."

Ye Chen's heart sank to the bottom. At this moment, he finally felt the strangeness of this formation.

"Is there anything I can use to calm my emotions?" Ye Chen pondered in his mind. He had considered using his self-control to suppress the emotions in his heart.

However, the laws of the Emperor suppressed his desire to suppress his thoughts, making it impossible for him to control his inner emotions.

What's terrifying is not just the "transformation," but also the indiscriminate coverage.

Either find the true core of the formation, or you have to destroy everything.

Destroying everything? Obviously, he doesn't have that kind of power right now. But the most important thing right now is to calm down his emotions.

"You can drink from the Immortal Pool Spring to purify your mind; its energy can help you calm down," Haotian Lanshen's voice suddenly rang out.

"Senior, how are you doing now?" Ye Chen asked. When he fought against Emperor Ziwei, Haotian Lanshen interrupted his own body's repair to help Ye Chen.

"Your body has recovered more than halfway, but I can't help you anymore right now," Haotian Lanshen shook his head.

"It's alright, you recover first, I'll try the Immortal Pool Spirit Spring."

The Immortal Pool and Spiritual Spring were created by the Yin God's dream and possess the power to purify the soul. They also contain the pure power of the abyss.

Ye Chen took out a lot of spiritual spring water and drank it in one gulp. The peaceful aura of the spring water flowed into his body, making his meridians feel comfortable.

Instantly, the previously agitated emotions began to calm down, and the overall state of mind began to become peaceful.

Ye Chen gazed at his reflection in the water. He looked somewhat disheveled, but his eyes were firm, and his Dao heart remained unwavering. Suddenly, he had an epiphany.

"It is the Dao Heart!"

The formation transforms external existence and one's own fluctuating thoughts, but a firm Dao heart cannot be transformed.

His Dao heart is to protect the heavens, fight against chaos, and even to reclaim the Star Seal before him. This is his unwavering thought.

Previously, the Heavenly Demon had undergone a transformation, and the aura within his body had not yet calmed down when he arrived inside the formation and was suppressed by the Emperor's Law. The entire process was extremely dangerous, so naturally, his emotions could not be calmed down.

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly understood his Dao heart. The formation could transform everything, but it could not transform his original intention.

Previously, he had been focused on breaking the deadlock and dismantling the formation by force, but he overlooked the essence of its transformation.

So what if all methods are weapons? As long as his original intention remains unchanged and he guards the Dao heart in his heart, he will be able to find the key to breaking the deadlock.

The despair in Ye Chen's heart completely dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented calmness.

Looking at his reflection in the pool, he slowly closed his eyes, and his whole being became more and more like a return to simplicity.

From the moment he stepped onto the other side of the starry sky, he experienced countless crises, from fighting against the Black Queen Mother to the Yin Yang Divine Path Sect, and so on.

From breaking through the barrier of the Ziwei Emperor's will to now being trapped in the formation, what has sustained us all is our original intention of "protection".

"Shen Lian is right, the stronger the power, the stronger the weapon that is transformed. But what if I don't use power, but only my Dao Heart?"

Ye Chen opened his eyes, and a dazzling light burst forth from them.

"My Dao heart remains unchanged, my original intention remains unchanged, so the formation cannot harm my true self!"

Ye Chen stood up and dusted himself off.

Although his wounds were still bleeding and his internal energy was surging, Ye Chen's eyes were incredibly firm. He had found a way to break the deadlock.

At this moment, he no longer used any divine power within his body, nor did he deploy any defense, nor did he even grip the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword tightly in his hand. He simply faced the weapons from all directions with a calm demeanor.

"What's going on? Why isn't the Lord of Reincarnation using the Heavenly Emperor's Divine Sword to block the attack?"

"Could this formation also possess a bewitching function?"

"Something's not right, Lord of Reincarnation, isn't he going to be pierced through the heart by ten thousand swords and die?"

"Haha, the Lord of Reincarnation is nothing special after all. He still lost to our Lord's formation, didn't he?"

"That's right, Master Zhuang is truly awe-inspiring!"

Seeing Ye Chen's actions, various factions also expressed their opinions.

“Immortal Venerable Mirror Flow, should we go in and rescue the Lord of Reincarnation?” Liu Heweng couldn’t help but ask as he watched Ye Chen’s actions.

"No need!" Immortal Venerable Jingliu shook his head.

Although she didn't know why Ye Chen did this, she believed that Ye Chen was not the kind of person who would give up resistance easily.

When he fought her in the Thousand Rock Abyss, even though he was not as strong as her, he tried his best to find a way to defeat her. Obviously, Ye Chen seems to have found the way to break the formation.

And at this moment, within the formation.

A barrage of sword blades, each carrying a chilling sharpness, hurtled towards Ye Chen. Ye Chen neither dodged nor evaded, letting the blades land on his shoulder.

Although he sustained several cuts, his body healed quickly thanks to his constitution.

Because he had no intention of defense, only the initial intention of protection, the formation could not detect the fluctuations in his aura, and the sharpness of his weapon was instantly weakened, leaving only a shallow bloodstain.

"The Lord of Reincarnation has actually found the key to the formation." Shen Lian's face instantly turned ugly, his expression changed drastically, and his voice was filled with solemnity.

Every strong person has their own Dao heart, but in the face of such an array, no one can hide their thoughts, and it is basically impossible to maintain one's own Dao heart.

Moreover, the Myriad Laws All Become Weapons Transformation Array contains not only the laws of the Emperor's Way, but also divine authority, and the two complement each other.

As soon as the breaker enters the formation, they are attacked by the weapons within. As the formation is activated, their own thoughts and everything around them will transform into weapons that attack the breaker.

Even with immense strength, one can be in grave danger when faced with weapons and thoughts transformed from one's own attacks.

When Ye Chen first entered the formation, he thought he was doomed. Unexpectedly, Ye Chen not only blocked everything, but also perfectly found a way to break the formation.

After counting the breaths.

Ye Chen successfully removed the core of the formation. The Myriad Laws Weapon Banner, which was originally hanging in the air, shattered and the entire formation disappeared.

"Uncle Ye, you're amazing!" Ye Xingcai said happily.

"Lord of Reincarnation, I never expected you to find a way to break this."

……

Ye Chen remained silent, his expression calm; things weren't that easy.

"Lord of Reincarnation, you don't actually think you can obtain the Star Seal by breaking the formation, do you?"

Although Shen Lian was surprised that Ye Chen was able to break the formation, he was not flustered. His own strength was the magic weapon to block everything.

As Ye Chen stepped out of the formation, a sharp, piercing sound rang out.

A black spear, like a venomous snake, pierced through the air, its tip carrying an aura of countless icy blades, as it attacked Ye Chen.

This is Shen Lian's way of war, and now, compared to before, it has an added touch of eerie divine authority.

"careful!"

Liu Heweng's voice rang in his ears, and Ye Chen had already turned aside to avoid it.

The spear rippled through the air around him and pierced the ground, instantly causing the giant rock to crack and split open like a spiderweb.

Ye Chen looked over and saw Shen Lian standing ten steps away.

Faint golden divine patterns were wrapped around the black armor; those were the divine marks of the Emperor.

Looking at the familiar mark, Ye Chen felt a pang of unease: "Has Shen Lian finally been controlled by the Heavenly Emperor?"

The Emperor of Heaven failed to possess Shen Lian before, so it's clear that Shen Lian has been brought under control this time.

Seeing that his first attack had missed, Shen Lian shook his arm, and with immense force, his spear thrust at Ye Chen once more.

In addition to the divine authority of the weapon, the tip of the spear also contains the divine authority of the Heavenly Emperor.

"Then let me test your strength!" Sensing Shen Lian's aura, which was even more terrifying than before, Ye Chen no longer hesitated, and the Heavenly Demon Origin within his body surged wildly.

Her long, jet-black hair stood on end, with black flames shooting three feet high from the tips. The demonic patterns on her neck became even more lifelike, spreading across her entire body.

"Heavenly Demon Devour!"

"Blessings of courage!"

After several battles, Ye Chen became increasingly adept at handling the Heavenly Demon's abilities, while Haotian Lanshen also used his courage to enhance Ye Chen's fighting spirit.

Two streams of black demonic energy erupted from his palms, transforming into countless billowing plumes of smoke that hurtled straight at Shen Lian's face.

That is where the divine authority of the Heavenly Emperor is located. Once the mark is shattered, Shen Lian will naturally lose control of himself.

But Shen Lian was faster. His spear drew an arc beside him, and the golden divine patterns transformed into countless small shields, blocking the Heavenly Demon Wolf Smoke Pillar.

At the same time, the spear tip split into dozens of spear shadows, stabbing at Ye Chen's limbs from different angles.

Each spear shadow carried the sharpness of military strategy and divine authority, making it even more difficult to block than the weapons transformed from the previous formations.

As Ye Chen was forced to parry the clash between the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword and the spear shadow, he saw golden divine runes spreading from the spear tip along the Heavenly Emperor Divine Sword, attempting to transform it into the weapon of the Heavenly Emperor.

Ye Chen was startled and hurriedly slashed out with his sword, forcing the golden divine runes back.

His expression grew more serious. He had already used the Heavenly Demon form during his battle with Emperor Ziwei, and his condition had not yet recovered. Forcing himself to use it again now would only make matters worse.

Moreover, every attack and defense consumes the energy within the body.

Shen Lian, however, seemed to be handling the situation with ease. The two divine powers merged perfectly, and his moves not only retained their own sharpness but also gained an overwhelming sense of divine power, leaving several wounds on his body with each strike.

Shen Lian's changes made Ye Chen curious: what exactly was the Emperor planning?
