Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 362: Break it with one strike!
“Ouch!!!!!”

Xu Ran let out a long sigh. He was not at all surprised by this matter.

"The essence I analyzed from the Divine Eyes of Heaven allowed me to immediately discover the core of this formation!"

When the formation was just taking shape, Xu Ran closed his eyes, not only to stimulate the power contained in his body, but also for an extremely important thing, which was to analyze the center of the formation.

As we all know, formations are powerful. Several first-level people or things, combined through formations, can exert several times or even hundreds of times the power. Formations, no matter where they are placed, are extremely rare.

Since entering the Source Realm, Xu Ran has never had the opportunity to see any kind of formation, except for the Tiangang Sword Formation that appeared before.

Moreover, the formation that appeared this time was cast by nine war puppets with powerful auras. With his current level of cultivation, it was impossible for him to blow it up.

Unless... we can find the core of the formation!!!!!! and break it with one strike!!!
The eye of the formation is the most important part of the formation, the weakest part of the formation, and also the most hidden part of the formation.

Normally, people involved in formations would place the eye of the formation in the most hidden place. Otherwise, once it was found, the formation would be destroyed without any effort.

At the beginning, Xu Ran did not find the core of the formation, but suddenly he remembered the strange feeling when he analyzed the origin of the Heavenly Secret Divine Eyes. Through reverse deduction, he found out the core of the formation.

Otherwise, even if that punch just now had hundreds of times more power, it would not be possible to break the formation in one blow and successfully escape.

Xu Ran's voice was not loud, but it could be heard in every corner. Outside the arena, the souls watching the fight could also hear his words clearly.

"What did that newcomer just say? He obtained the essence by analyzing the Divine Eyes of Heaven, and was able to deduce the location of the center of the Netherworld Array?"

"This perception ability is too strong?!"

"To be able to find the center of the Nether Formation in such a short time is a true genius!"

"Could this newcomer be a genius in formation?"

"."

In the arena, discussions arose one after another, and everyone was discussing Xu Ran.

"He has even figured out the core of the Nether Formation. Is there any other formation whose core he can't deduce?" At this moment, the little junior sister's shining eyes were trembling constantly.

Xu Ran’s performance just now has completely shattered her worldview.

You must know that the formation that has just taken shape is the Nether Formation, a formation that comes from the Nether Abyss.

Moreover, according to the eldest brother's narration, the underworld array has only two functions, one is transformation, and the other is to trap the enemy!

Generally speaking, the characteristics of the center of a formation will be determined by the direction in which its effect leans.

To trap the enemy means having extremely strong defense. Without strong explosive power, even if you find the center of the formation, you will not be able to break it and escape successfully.

"That's not the case!" The eldest brother's voice sounded somewhat comforting at this time.

"As I just said, the greatest functions of the Underworld Array are to trap the enemy and assimilate them. Although it has two functions, trapping the enemy is actually a preparation for assimilation!"

"There are no offensive methods in the Dark Formation. This gives the newcomers time to analyze the key points of the formation and store up strength!"

"If we encounter a formation that focuses on attacking, it won't be so easy. Even if we can escape, it will take a lot of time!"

After a pause, the eldest brother continued.

"But no matter what, this newcomer's talent is too strong. It's no exaggeration to say that he has the greatest potential ever!"

"If it were me, even if I could analyze the center of the formation, the time it would take would probably have transformed me into a creature of the Nether Abyss!"

Although the eldest senior brother talked about Xu Ran’s weaknesses at the beginning, he did not hesitate to praise his outstanding strengths!

"Alas!" Second Senior Brother sighed upon hearing this. "If such a person were born in an era with abundant spiritual energy, he would surely become the greatest person in the history!"

"But now, spiritual energy is scarce. This person was born in a remote area with extremely scarce spiritual energy. He doesn't have a complete cultivation system, which greatly slows down his cultivation progress!"

Now, the eldest and second brothers are certain that Xu Ran can successfully pass this level of trial.

Even if you don't believe it, you can't help it. He has created too many miracles and you dare not question it anymore.

Passing the Five Elements Trial is just a matter of time.

While all the soul bodies were discussing with each other, the nine ancient war puppets whose black aura gradually dimmed, their previous failure did not prevent them from continuing to use means against Xu Ran.

Nine ancient war puppets reappeared at the place where the black stone pillar was broken before. The moment they landed, the originally dim black color instantly returned to its previous appearance, and the color was even richer. The black mist surrounding their bodies seemed to condense into substance, and the stench in the air became even stronger!
Xu Ran stared intently at the nine ancient war puppets that suddenly moved, always on guard against what they were going to do.

As a result, under Xu Ran's gaze, the flesh and blood on the black body that was still there turned into pools of black blood like spring snow melting, and flowed to the ground. In an instant, nine dark golden bones appeared in front of Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was not at all surprised by this sudden change.

Xu Ran had experienced too many strange and bizarre things in this place, so he did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable with the scene before him. Instead, he was thinking calmly in his heart.

"What is this?"

Xu Ran murmured softly, his eyes observing the dark golden bones with increasing detail.

I saw that the surface of the black bone was extremely rough, as if something had been rubbing back and forth on it before, and it was full of potholes.

"Hmm?" Xu Ran noticed something was wrong with the dark golden bones and observed them carefully again. "No!"

At this time, Xu Ran discovered something was wrong.

"Those dark golden bones are lines, the black underworld words that just appeared on the black flesh!"

Now, Xu Ran finally understood what those patterns that appeared on the dark golden bones meant.

Strictly speaking, those black lines were not actually on the black flesh. Originally, they were carved on nine black stone pillars.

The same is true now. When the nine ancient war puppets returned to the place where the stone pillars were previously located, the war puppets underwent tremendous changes.

Before Xu Ran could finish his thoughts, the nine ancient war puppets, which were originally only dark golden bones left, suddenly began to shake in the air like a sieve.

With every shake, the distance between the nine ancient war puppets will be further shortened.

Not long after, the ancient war puppets, which were originally a hundred meters apart from each other, were actually connected to each other.

The bones, which were originally dark golden, seemed to have become mortise and tenon structures, inlaid together at this moment.

"This is... fusion!!"

The eldest brother outside the arena saw the changes that had taken place in the nine ancient war puppets and stood up again and exclaimed.

For a moment, he could not control his breathing, and the entire arena was filled with the power of extreme ice. The temperature dropped suddenly, and even the Second Senior Brother and the Younger Junior Sister, with their cultivation levels, began to tremble unconsciously. Some souls who had only been practicing for a short time were even frozen directly.

"Big Brother, what do you mean?" They also heard what the Big Brother said, but they didn't quite understand the meaning, so the little sister asked.

Among the people present, only the second senior brother and the youngest junior sister were able to speak.

"cough!!"

Hearing the little junior sister's cold and trembling voice, the eldest senior brother coughed, and then the extreme icy power in the arena dissipated instantly. The ice on the soul body that had been frozen before dissipated directly and returned to normal.

"Fusion, this is also a method used by the Ancient War Puppet!"

"From what I understand, refining the Ancient War Puppet requires extremely demanding physical conditions, and the refining techniques are also extremely complex!"

"It is necessary to carve the mark of the refiner into the avenue and origin that have not yet dissipated. As long as the mark is from the same refiner, the refined ancient war puppets can be fused together to unleash unexpected abilities!"

"There's no clear record of what that ability is!"

The eldest brother finished speaking in one breath, while staring at the nine ancient war puppets in the mirror with great anticipation.

Naturally, he was quite interested in things he didn't know.

If the eldest brother is like this, let alone the other soul bodies, they stared at the mirror intently, wanting to see what it would look like when the nine ancient war puppets merged together!
In the arena.

After the nine ancient war puppets approached each other, a black vortex suddenly rose up around them. At the same time, the dark golden bones began to melt at this moment, turning into pools of dark golden blood, which were sucked into the newly risen vortex.

As more and more dark golden blood merged into the vortex, the black vortex became larger and larger. For a moment, it directly covered the sky above the entire arena, like a black sun, making people lose all vision.

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

"clang!"

Just when Xu Ran didn't know what was happening, a strong bell sounded from the black vortex.

The sound of the bell, like the roar at the beginning of the world, carried endless vitality and echoed in the arena. The only difference was that what was attached to the bell was not vitality, but corrosive sounds.

"Bell?"

When Xu Ran heard the bell, he was very confused. At the same time, he mobilized the innate energy on the surface of his body and used it to protect his body.

"Nine puppets merged into a bell?"

Not only Xu Ran was confused, but the souls watching the battle outside the arena were also confused.

However, the expressions of the second and eldest brothers were a little strange at this time.

"Big Brother, did you hear that?" The second brother noticed something strange about the big brother out of the corner of his eye and asked.

"You too?" The eldest brother did not answer directly, but asked back.

At this point, the second brother also understood what the eldest brother meant and continued.

"But why is this bell sound related to the Nether Abyss? Moreover, this bell sound does not carry the power of life, but instead carries a breath of destruction? This does not make sense!"

At this moment, the second brother's thoughts returned to the ancient times, and the scenes there kept coming to his mind.

"The bell sounds the same, but they shouldn't be the same, or rather, they should be the opposite of each other!"

The eldest brother's ambiguous words left the younger sister stunned.

"Big Brother, what are you two talking about? I can't understand you at all."

Not only the junior sister, but I'm afraid that no one present except the two of them knows what they are talking about.

"You know the Human Emperor Bell, right?" asked the eldest brother.

Now, all the souls nodded.

"Of course you know. The Human Emperor Bell is a divine artifact that accompanied the birth of heaven and earth. In addition, there are also the Human Emperor Sword and the Human Emperor Armor, which are known as the original divine artifacts of heaven and earth!"

The junior sister spoke.

The three-piece set of the Human Emperor Bell, the Human Emperor Sword and the Human Emperor Armor was recorded on the first page of all ancient books at that time. Anyone who had read the ancient books would be deeply impressed by it.

However, I have seen it in ancient books, but I have never seen it with my own eyes.

Not to mention them, even people in ancient times may not have seen it.

It is said that after the birth of heaven and earth, it disappeared into the source world and there is no news of it anymore.

Even though news about the three-piece set of the Human Emperor was heard from time to time in ancient times, it was finally confirmed to be false.

Therefore, the first page of all ancient books only contains text records, no pictures or sound records at all.

"At the end of the ancient times, the three-piece set of the Human Emperor appeared between heaven and earth for a moment, but it was only a moment, and not many people saw it. Those who saw it died in a great battle!"

"No one had the time to record the situation at the time!"

The one who spoke was the second senior brother. From what he said, he was one of the few people who had seen the three sets of the Human Emperor and survived.

"Second Senior Brother, have you met him?" asked the younger sister, and this time she actually called him Second Senior Brother, which was really rare.

At this point, the second senior brother puffed out his chest and said, "I have seen it, but it was just a fleeting glimpse. I saw the shadow of the three-piece suit of the Human Emperor."

"However, the bell sound was actually heard. It was exactly the same as the bell sound made by the fusion of the nine ancient war puppets!"

At this time, the second brother's face became confused.

"In ancient times, when the three-piece set of the Human Emperor appeared, a powerful bell rang out, accompanied by an extremely rich vitality that dissipated into the Source Realm."

"Because of the great battles between the powerful, the cracks in the earth began to repair rapidly. Compared with the current aura of destruction, it is completely the opposite of the truth!"

This is why the second brother is confused.

The Human Emperor Bell is the only one of its kind in the world. There is no possibility of imitation, and the same goes for the sound of the bell.

But today, during the trial in the nine-story tower, I heard a bell sound exactly like the Human Emperor Bell, but of a completely opposite nature.
