Chapter 653 Breaking the Formation
The aqua blue column of light shot up into the sky, and its mighty aura pierced the clouds, dyeing the entire starry sky a deep blue. The entire Jinling city turned into blue-green, and the night was as bright as day.

In that aqua-blue beam of light, there was a terrifying energy gathering, and the fluctuations of that energy were even stronger than that of the Great Immortal Hu Li.

"This is a formation!!!" Zhang Chen has inherited the immortal way. Although he has never seen a formation before, when the formation really appeared in front of him, he recognized it at the first sight.

It’s like many people have never seen a tiger, but when a tiger stands in front of them, they will naturally recognize it.

Many people have never seen a panda, but they recognize it immediately when they see it for the first time.

"This is the ancestral method of our Shen family. It is the backup plan left by our ancestor. If you can break this formation, our Shen family will admit defeat today and be willing to be killed and be wiped out of the world. If you cannot break this method, please retreat for the time being and do not offend our Shen family again in the future." Shen Liang's voice was full of seriousness.

Hearing Shen Liang's words, the face of the immortal Huli opposite him became serious. He stared at the water-blue light column in front of him. He saw countless mysterious lines flowing on the surface of the water-blue light column, which looked very mysterious.

"What is this? It looks like a Feng Shui formation, but not quite?" The Great Immortal Hu Li stared at the aqua-blue beam of light. He sensed a crisis. Anything that could make a great demon king like him, who relied on his ancestral bloodline to return to the eleventh level, feel a sense of crisis must not be a simple thing.

So he looked up and down at the water-blue pillar, not acting rashly, but watching for flaws.

"If you have the ability, just come and break the formation!" Shen Liang looked at the Great Immortal Hu Li opposite him and did not hesitate, but invited him.

The Great Immortal Huli looked hesitant and stood there, hesitating and not daring to move forward.

"This is a formation, and it's not an ordinary formation." Zhang Chen's mind was spinning, and various thoughts kept flashing in his head: "Even if it's a twelfth-level existence, it won't get any benefits if it steps into it. I didn't expect the Shen family to have this trump card."

Who would have thought that the Shen family actually had a real formation!

To say which is stronger, the Feng Shui formation or the real formation, the difference between the two is like the difference between Li Gui and Li Kui, there is simply no way to compare them.

"Could the Shen family still escape this disaster?" Zhang Chen looked at the formation, feeling somewhat curious. He slowly opened his Devouring Eye, wanting to observe the details of the formation.

As Zhang Chen's Dharma Eye opened, the blue light column in another dimension turned into countless silk threads that intertwined in the void according to a unique pattern. Wherever the blue silk threads passed, a unique field was formed. That field was the range covered by the power of the formation.

That realm was linked to the endless sky above and the depths of the earth below. Zhang Chen's devouring eyes seemed to have seen a strange portal in the depths of the earth, and countless silk threads were surging out from the portal.

"There is an unknown connection between this formation and the tomb below. The portal with water-blue threads surging out seems to be the entrance to the tomb below." Zhang Chen was in the state of Devouring Eye at this time and could overlook the entire situation from another dimension.

“Although I don’t understand the formation, but based on the pattern of the twisting of countless silk threads in the void, I can infer that this aqua-blue light column has at least three flaws.” Zhang Chen’s soul continued to deduce the rules of operation of the laws between heaven and earth.

He did not understand the operation of the great formation, but he understood the order of operation of the laws between heaven and earth, and he understood the trajectory of the operation of the laws between heaven and earth.

"The so-called formation is nothing more than distorting the laws of heaven and earth to form a unique domain and a unique ordered space." Zhang Chen said secretly in his heart.

He looked towards the water-blue formation and saw the surging water laws rolling in the formation, forming a unique ordered space.

“I don’t know if my Water-Repellent Beads can restrain the formation and save me from its doom.” Zhang Chen had this thought flashing through his mind.

Just as all kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, the Great Immortal Hu Li had already soared into the air: "Boy, do you think such a thing can stop me?"

"We'll know if we can stop you if we try." Shen Liang sighed, "For my Shen family, there's no loss in trying."

"Okay! Let's try it! I, the Great Immortal Huli, have been roaming the wilderness for thousands of years, and I am not scared of anything!" The aura of the Great Immortal Huli was sublimated to the extreme, and he suddenly threw a punch. The white and tender fist was wrapped in the white Gengjin aura, and it shuttled through the void and smashed towards the formation.

"Bang~"

As the first blow landed, the formation twisted and transformed into a whirlpool, smashing the mighty and domineering punch of Hu Li Daxian. "Hu Li Daxian, according to the calculation of the Great Sage, this aqua-blue light column is the ancient formation, which is the formation originally attached to the tomb under the Shen family manor, and was set up by the innate water god in the past. If you want to break this formation, you must use the formation to break the formation. We can use the Eight Gates Locking Gold Formation to fight against this formation, so that its flaws are exposed and create opportunities for you to break the formation. As long as we can break this formation, our plan will be successful, and the door to the tomb of the innate water god will be open to us." Gu Mingyue stood outside the Eight Gates Locking Gold Formation and shouted to Hu Li Daxian.

Hu Li Daxian said impatiently: "Of course I know the reason. Peacock Patriarch once told me the secret of the Shen family. Why do I need you to make noise beside me? You should quickly activate the Eight Gates Locking Gold Array to help me. Break this array first, and then talk about other things."

"Ancestor, please wait a moment and see what I, Huang Tiandao, can do." Gu Mingyue replied.

As he finished his words, a golden light shield appeared out of thin air above Jinling City. Eight chains emerged from the light shield, located in the eight directions of heaven and earth, and entangled with the water-blue light column.

"Shen family, if you know what's good for you, just hand over the ancient tomb. Otherwise, the Shen family will be wiped out from the world today, which is such a pity!" Gu Mingyue sighed softly.

"You evildoer! If you have any means, just use them. How can I be afraid of you? Today, either you, Huang Tiandao, will destroy my Shen family. Or my Shen family will survive the catastrophe and kill you, Huang Tiandao, to avenge today's great hatred." Then the old lady in the formation was heard holding a cane, and her old and vicissitudes voice came out in the formation.

"You don't know how to live or die! My Huang Tiandao's Eight-Gate Locking Gold Formation was deduced and comprehended by the Great Sage Master on the Conferred God Platform. It can gather the power of all the gods in the world. How can your Shen family's 'old and shabby' formation resist it?" Gu Mingyue smiled coldly: "The Eight-Gate Locking Gold Formation can fight against twelfth-level strongmen!"

As his words fell, the eight chains spread out from the void like nimble snakes, exploring towards the water-blue light column, and then tightly entangled the water-blue light column.

It felt as if the aqua blue beam of light was a pillar with eight chains wrapped around it, fixing the pillar in place.

The pillar stopped rotating, and the water-blue light column slowed down. Countless water-blue threads rushed up and entangled with the pillar.

Zhang Chen's expression changed when he saw this scene: "Huang Tiandao's Eight Gates Locking Gold Array may be a bit boastful, but under the entanglement of the eight chains, the operation of his Water God Array is slow and flaws have appeared."

But even if the eight chains evolved from the Eight-Gate Locking Gold Array locked the aqua-blue light column, its power was still mighty. Although its flaw appeared and increased, it was not enough for Tiger Power Immortal to completely grasp the flaw.

"Don't panic, ancestor. I am here to lend you a hand! I have the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, which can interfere with all the laws of water in the world. I will help you break the formation." A mist was seen floating in the distance. It came to the scene in a few flashes and appeared in front of the Great Immortal Huli. The person who came was the master of the Flood Flag: Chen Zhifei.

It had faced a slap from the Great Immortal Huli before, but was completely unharmed. This shows the power of the Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag.

The Great Immortal Huli glanced at Chen Zhifei and did not continue to attack. He had regained his composure at this time. For him, devouring the innate water god's fortune and breaking through to a higher realm was the most important thing.

Chen Zhifei was seen holding the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag in his hand, with his Qi surging all over his body, and he rushed into the blue formation accompanied by misty rain:

"I have long heard that the Shen family's water control technique is unrivaled in the world. Today I am going to give it a try to see whether your Shen family's water control technique is better or my White Lotus Sect's Xuanyuan Water Control Flag is better."

The Xuanyuan Water-Controlling Flag is an innate spiritual treasure, one of the five flags. After entering the formation, it fluttered in the wind. Chen Zhifei gently waved the flag, and the energy in the water-blue light column became chaotic, like an upheaval in the sea, and thousands of waves were rolled up. The entire formation was actually shaken by the Xuanyuan Water-Controlling Flag.

Sensing the changes in the formation, Shen Liang's expression changed involuntarily, and panic appeared on his face for the first time.

What kind of person is Hu Li Daxian? He immediately noticed the changes in the formation on the opposite side, so he chattered with a murderous look on his face: "Boy, I want to see if your formation can still stop me!"

The Great Immortal Huli took a step forward, and his figure floated for a moment. He actually tore through the flaws in the formation according to some mysterious rules and stepped into the water-blue light column.

"Master Huli, you are too arrogant!" Shen Liang frowned slightly as he watched Master Huli walk into the formation.

“Haha, with the interference of the Eight Gates Locking Gold Array, I want to see if your formation can subdue me!” The voice of the Great Immortal Huli was full of coldness.

At the same time, he glanced at Chen Zhifei who was waving the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes: "This man is my great enemy in seizing the authority of the Water God! The flag in his hand makes even me feel a little scared."

"Come on! I'll show you that my Shen family is not easy to bully." Shen Liang's eyes were full of ferocity at this time.
