Chapter 258: Chapter 132: Formation Suppresses Cave Void
Lu Yi’s expression was calm as he spoke slowly, “Since you’ve made a move, what else is there to say?”
He pressed his palm to the ground, and lines of array patterns emerged within his palm, resonating with the array patterns on the ground.
The array patterns were mysterious and complex, resembling a manifestation of the ultimate truths of the Heavenly Dao, dizzying to anyone who took just one glance.
As the array patterns emerged in Lu Yi’s palm, all the array patterns in the area where the disciples of Heavenly Palace were located lit up, circulating and beginning to distort.
A terribly oppressive force emanated outwards, and with the changes in the pattern array, the ground began to shake violently.
“Changing so many array patterns at once?! How is that possible!” Two Array Tao Masters of the Heavenly Palace were gaping in disbelief.
Cold sweat poured down their foreheads; their spiritual energy circulated around their bodies as they watched the array patterns intensely, constantly shouting out whilst trying to suppress the ground’s array patterns to prevent Lu Yi from transforming them into a killing array.
This was a confrontation on the level of array Tao, a contest of understanding between both sides regarding formations.
The mysterious and complex array patterns could completely alter the efficacy of an array formation with every single change in the lines, and while Lu Yi sought to turn all formations into killing arrays, naturally, the two Array Tao Masters had no such wish, continuously changing array patterns to disrupt Lu Yi’s actions.
It must be said that these two Array Tao Masters indeed had some skill; Lu Yi’s several attempts to change the array were all addressed by them.
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and extended another hand, pointing towards the void.
All the killing arrays surrounding the cultivators of Heavenly Palace were activated and even strengthened.
Streams of sword light and beams of light shot up to the sky, carrying an incredibly terrifying momentum as they attacked the cultivators of Heavenly Palace.
The two Array Tao Masters were the most fiercely attacked; the dreadful oppressive force whitened the faces of many Heavenly Palace disciples; even those whose strength was not inferior to the Heavenly Dragon Saint Son, including both the Saint Son and the Saintess, looked grave and incredulous.
The Cave Void Cultivators of Heavenly Palace changed their expressions; they stood on the outside of the group of Heavenly Palace cultivators, each displaying their Arts, forming complex and mysterious Tao maps to fend off the attacks.
The Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Palace cultivators was miraculous; the Tao maps seemed to connect to another world, silently absorbing all sword Qi and beams of light into the Tao maps.
The attacks enhanced by Lu Yi were extremely powerful even in the Cave Void Realm and were dense and numerous.
Even though the Cave Void Cultivators of Heavenly Palace were strong, they still found it very strenuous; their faces were unsightly, and beads of sweat even appeared on their foreheads.
Their Tao maps began to shake little by little, on the verge of breaking at any moment.
There was a limit to how much the Tao maps could absorb.
The two Array Tao Masters of Heavenly Palace had even graver expressions, drenched in cold sweat—it was clear that Lu Yi’s mastery of Array Tao far exceeded their imagination.
They understood that they had encountered a very thorny opponent.
All the cultivators present in the plaza were strong, either disciples from the Great Sects and Major Sects or powerful Loose Cultivators. Seeing Lu Yi single-handedly suppress the two Array Tao Masters and a group of Cave Void Cultivators from the Central State’s Heavenly Palace left them astonished.
“This Innate Sword Immortal…isn’t his main discipline the Sword Dao? How come he has such a high mastery of Array Tao as well?”
“It’s hard to imagine how someone so young managed to achieve such great success in both the Sword Dao and Array Tao. Could there really be such a genius in this world?”
Cultivator after cultivator discussed among themselves.
Some were pleased, as the heritage site belonged to the Eastern Domain, and these cultivators from Central State had come to share in the spoils, which was already irritating.
Moreover, the fact that they continued to act so dominantly within the Eastern Domain, having killed numerous cultivators on their way here, certainly didn’t help matters.
Now seeing Heavenly Palace running into a snag, they took delight in their misfortune.
The cultivators from Taiyi Holy Land were all proficient in Array Tao Realm, and seeing Lu Yi’s methods left them incredibly shocked as well.
A Cave Void Cultivator from Taiyi Holy Land exclaimed with admiration, “Impressive skill. Lu Yi’s enlightenment in Array Tao is extremely strong. The techniques he’s using are merely basic formation methods, but they produce such great effect.”
Taiyi Saint Son’s expression was calm, but his eyes flickered constantly, showing a surge of emotions in his heart.
Lu Yi’s Array Tao attainments were even more powerful than that of his, the Saint Son of Taiyi Holy Land.
Lu Yi multitasked, simultaneously changing the formations and activating killing arrays. The two Array Tao Masters struggled to defend completely; they could only stabilize the formation underneath them, with little ability to fend off the killing arrays.
The killing arrays grew stronger, and several Cave Void Cultivators began to change expression as Divinity Transformation Cultivators took to the field to defend against the attacks.
Just then, one of the Cave Void Cultivator’s Tao maps shattered, and a streak of sword light flashed by, heading straight for the Divinity Transformation stage Array Tao Master.
The Array Tao Master turned pale, and with a loud shout, he spat out an Array Map.
The Array Map was mystical and complicated, enveloping him inside. The sword light hit the Array Map, which shook violently before shattering, causing the Array Tao Master’s body to crack open, blood to spurt out violently, and he was sent flying.
Luckily, several Cave Void Cultivators reacted promptly, blocking the aftermath and saving him.
One of the leading Cave Void Cultivators of Heavenly Palace hurried to speak, “Brother, it’s Junior Yan’s fault; he shouldn’t have tested you! I will have him apologize to you! Please, pull back!”
Lu Yi’s expression was calm and unaffected, which caused the disciples of Heavenly Palace to change their expressions.
With only one Array Tao Master in the Cave Void Realm, it was difficult even to prevent Lu Yi from altering the Array, let alone defend against it.
