Chapter 829 Eye of Punishment
The lightning from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment came down so fast that Zhang Chen had no time to use his magical powers to push away the soil in the ground to make time for his own ice field.

Zhang Chen's ice field had just unfolded when the purple divine thunder had pierced through the void and came into the ice field. Before Zhang Chen's consciousness could shift, he felt like a tattered doll, shattered directly in the air and exploded into pieces with a loud bang.

‘Click~’

There was even a crisp sound, and where the purple lightning passed, the ice field was forcibly turned into nothingness and became a forbidden zone of laws.

A hole as thick as a bowl was pierced through Zhang Chen's ice field, and where the purple divine thunder passed, the power of the laws within the ice field surged, but it was unable to restore the void that had been pierced.

Fortunately, that force only penetrated the domain instead of tearing it apart, otherwise Zhang Chen would have died instantly.

The Purple Sky Divine Thunder was mainly aimed at the altar, and Zhang Chen was just a incidental target.

Then, from those golden eyes, purple divine thunder burst out and fell towards the direction of the altar. The three layers of the innate formation were pierced in an instant, and the power of the purple divine thunder was finally wiped out by the formation.

But the golden eyes in the sky continued to shoot out lightning, like a rapid machine gun, and streaks of purple divine thunder meandered down.

Strangely enough, the three overlord-level innate creatures, as well as the monsters that had been affected before, were no longer subjected to heavenly punishment. Instead, facing the vast power of heaven, all the monsters and innate creatures knelt on the ground like the three overlord-level innate creatures.

“Don’t even think about destroying my altar!” Queen Mother West had already landed on the altar at this time, replacing Niangniang Biyun’s position. She pushed Niangniang Biyun away with her own hands and began to operate the formation on the altar. Then sixty-four innate formations were seen operating, constantly drawing power from the dragon veins of Kunlun Mountain to fight against the heavenly punishment in the sky.

With the operation of the innate great formation, the innate great formation that was pierced by the power of heavenly punishment was repaired in an instant. The Queen Mother of the West sat in the center of the formation, concentrating on operating the formation.

‘Click~’

Thunder roared, and chains composed of lightning were seen winding and descending from the void. However, this time the Purple Sky Divine Thunder was different from the first one. This one instantly evolved into eight Purple Sky Divine Thunder, which simultaneously smashed down towards the eight array centers on the altar array.

The Queen Mother of the West activated the great formation to resist the heavenly punishment, but unfortunately the power of that heavenly punishment seemed to penetrate everything and directly pierced through the eye of the formation. With one strike, the eight innate great formations were broken.

"What a powerful force of heavenly punishment!" Queen Mother of the West's face changed, and she wanted to recite the mantra to draw power from the dragon veins of the earth to repair the broken innate formation. However, who knew that the speed of its repair was not as fast as the purple thunder spit out by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment. Before it could repair the innate formation, another purple thunder was spit out. This time, the purple thunder split into eight and continued to smash towards the center of the formation.

Under this wave of attacks, eight of the innate formations were broken again, and in the blink of an eye, sixteen innate formations had been pierced.

“Queen Mother of the West, you dare to go against the will of heaven, and you will definitely suffer retribution today. There are a total of forty-nine purple divine thunders, and only two of them have broken your sixteen innate formations. I want to see how you deal with the heavenly punishment that will come later.” The little giant spoke, his voice full of gloating.

"Hmph, since I dared to take action today, I must have made plans in advance. What can a mere forty-nine heavenly punishments do to me? I have the Five Directions Flag in my hand, which can mobilize the five elements of heaven and earth for my blessings, and the dragon veins of the entire Kunlun Mountain for my blessings. Now I can borrow the power of the earth, and even the power of heavenly punishment can't do anything to me. You have the way of heaven, but I can mobilize the power of the earth with the help of this altar. How can I be afraid of you?" The Queen Mother of the West had a cold voice. She stood in the formation without any fear. The divine power around her continued to surge. The next moment, the Five Directions Flag emerged, and directly transformed into five rays of light of red, yellow, white, green and blue, which merged into the altar.

As the five-sided flag merged into the altar, the aura of the altar changed inexplicably. The power of the five elements between heaven and earth seemed to converge on the altar, surging towards the altar. The broken formation on the altar was repaired in the blink of an eye.

The golden eyes on the clouds actually blinked humanely at this moment, and then the next moment the whole world seemed to have lost its sound, no thunder sounded, no lightning flashed, and the next moment the innate formation on the altar was broken by thirty-two at this moment.

That's thirty-two innate formations! And it's also a formation blessed by the power of the earth veins and the power of the five elements between heaven and earth.

"Click~"

The void shattered like a mirror, and a terrifying wave of chaos rolled up, engulfing the altar.

"I have already attained the state of Hun Yuan and now occupy the tunnel. Even if you have the supreme colorless divine thunder, what can you do to me?" The Queen Mother of the West stood on the altar. There was a hint of devil in her voice, and she was full of anger: "I must protect this altar. Today I will compete with you to see who is better!" The Queen Mother of the West stood on the altar, wanting to compete with the Heavenly Dao.

Facing the provocation of the Queen Mother of the West, the Eye of Heaven remained calm, and the only thing that responded to the Queen Mother of the West was a gentle blink of the eyes. As the eyes blinked, the five-colored divine thunder burst out again, and the world turned into a black and white picture again. All sounds were lost, and only mysterious forces were flowing between heaven and earth. Then, the Queen Mother of the West's innate formation was broken again by eighteen.

"Five elements of heaven and earth, listen to my command! Set up the innate formation!" The voice of the Queen Mother of the West was full of calmness. The next moment, the Five Elements between heaven and earth surged, repairing the innate formation on the altar again. This time the speed of repair was incredibly fast, and forty-eight formations had been repaired in the blink of an eye.

The golden eyes looked at the altar below, indifferent and without any emotion. Finally, they turned their gaze and glanced in the direction of Zhang Chen's ice field. For a moment, they were stunned and did not move.

After a long while, the golden eyes in the sky disappeared, and the entire Kunlun Mountains fell into an inexplicable silence.

"How is this possible? There should be forty-nine thunder punishments. How come they suddenly disappeared?" The giant raised his head and looked at the thunder punishments that were gradually dissipating in the sky, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"This shouldn't be the case!" The god holding the little sun in his hand also had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Run! This woman can even withstand the power of heavenly punishment. We can't resist it. This woman has adapted to the laws of heaven. Let's run!" The man with stars all around him said nothing. He turned into a stream of light and flew away. His figure disappeared between heaven and earth, leaving behind the other two innate creatures.

The innate creature holding the little sun in his hand also turned into a red light and disappeared into the Kunlun Mountains in the blink of an eye. Only the giant was still kneeling on the ground.

"Queen Mother of the West, I will come and compete with you after I have achieved the Dao." The giant's voice was like thunder that spread throughout the Kunlun Mountains: "Even if we can't do anything to you, you are trapped in the Kunlun Mountains and can't do anything to us either. Your strength has reached the point where it can't be improved, and our strength can continue to improve. Sooner or later, our cultivation will surpass yours, and then we will kill you, the source of trouble."

After the giant finished speaking, he quickly disappeared.

The Queen Mother of the West stood quietly on the altar, with five-colored divine light flowing around her body. She silently repaired the innate formation and did not chase after the giant.

At this time, the entire battlefield returned to chaos again, with countless strong men and monsters fighting each other. For a while, the battle was difficult to determine, and the shouts of killing shook the heaven and earth.

Snowflakes in the void reorganized themselves, and Zhang Chen appeared in the field. His eyes looked towards the altar, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Others might not be able to see it, but Zhang Chen could see that the Qi from Queen Mother of the West's body was leaking out, the kind of leakage from high concentration to low concentration. He seemed to have seen the Emperor's daughter, and because the concentration of spiritual energy between heaven and earth was not enough, the origin began to leak out continuously.

“The Emperor’s daughter can seek refuge in the thirty-three-layer spiritual world, so what about the Queen Mother of the West? It’s strange that I cannot sense the existence of the thirty-three-layer spiritual world in this era.” Zhang Chen’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.

The Queen Mother of the West on the altar was seen making seals with her hands, continuously engraving magic seals on her body, suppressing the energy around her, and constantly suppressing her own strength, and the five-sided flags also turned into seals, sealing the acupoints around her body.

"This world cannot bear the strength of the Queen Mother of the West? If the Queen Mother of the West stays in this world, she will only die slowly, so what does she want to do by building the altar?" Zhang Chen looked at the Queen Mother of the West and the altar, with a look of disbelief in his eyes. This is a mysterious era, how could it be unable to bear the strength of the Queen Mother of the West? How powerful is the Queen Mother of the West?

"It's simply sensational." Zhang Chen muttered to himself.

He originally had a grudge against the Queen Mother of the West, thinking that she had used him as cannon fodder by asking him to build the altar. He was thinking about getting back at her, after all, when had he, Zhang Chen, ever suffered such a big loss? But now Zhang Chen didn't dare to have this idea.

"Was that eye the manifestation of the power of Heaven? The power of Heaven actually manifested as an eye. It seems that this world is not simple. I still underestimated the old guys in this world." Zhang Chen muttered to himself in his heart and slowly retracted his gaze. He wondered what excuse he should make up later to fool the Queen Mother of the West.

After all, that was the power of heavenly punishment. She did not die after being struck by it. Not only did she not die, but she was resurrected instead. How could the Queen Mother of the West not get to the bottom of it?
"So what excuse should I come up with?" Zhang Chen was a little worried. He was about to put away the ice field, but the next moment he paused and saw a golden light flashing under his feet.
