Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 77 The Blooming of the Divine Lotus
The Array-Splitting Talisman is an extremely special talisman, created specifically to counter array formations. Legend has it that this talisman has nine transformations, and the Nine-Transformation Array-Splitting Talisman can even tear apart divine arrays set up by array masters. It was created by a legendary ancient god who specialized in the Dao of Talismans.

The only thing Emperor Yi could refine was the simplest first-stage array-breaking talisman, but it was enough to cause fatal damage to a fifth-grade array.

Using the hide of a fifth-tier savage beast as paper and its blood as ink, Di Yi carved eleven times in succession, successfully refining four array-splitting talismans, which he then handed over to Zhang Ruochen and Luo Shuihan respectively.

"The protective array of the Evil Wood Palace was left by a semi-saint level expert. It is powerful and infinitely variable. Fortunately, more than a thousand years have passed, and the array's power is far from comparable to its peak. Many parts of its operation have developed flaws. According to my previous observations, the entire array has four key nodes. As long as these four nodes are destroyed simultaneously, the entire array will collapse on its own." Di Yi carefully described the array's weaknesses and told Zhang Ruochen and Luo Shuihan what needed to be paid attention to.

After some instructions, the two understood their mission. Di Yi then activated his True Source Demon Eye and began searching for the weakest point in the entire formation.

The higher the level of the formation, the more ingenious the concealment of the formation's key nodes. A semi-saint formation can already make the formation's nodes constantly change and not be in a fixed position.

Under the True Source Demon Eye, the operating rules of the entire formation were no longer a secret to the Emperor's Eye, and the location of the formation's nodes was quickly found.

He transmitted the coordinates to Luo Shuihan and Zhang Ruochen using his mental power.

"Do it!"

The two understood each other perfectly and unleashed the array-breaking talismans in their hands.

Zhang Ruochen used spatial teleportation to send the two talismans into the formation without anyone noticing.

Luo Shuihan's method was even simpler and clearer. She took out a jade flute, poured her true energy into the flute, and condensed two beams of white jade holy light.

Then, she pointed at the great formation, and two beams of holy light shot out, easily blasting two small gaps in the formation's light screen. Immediately afterwards, she threw two formation-breaking talismans into the gaps, successfully sending them to the location of the formation's nodes.

After doing all this, Luo Shuihan's face visibly paled. The jade hairpin in her hand was an extremely special sacred artifact, and with her current cultivation level, activating it was still somewhat too much for her.

Seeing that all four array-breaking talismans had been successfully sent to their designated positions, Di Yi was overjoyed. He then activated his mental power and detonated all four talismans simultaneously.

Four deafening explosions rang out from the Evil Wood Palace. The special array-breaking light waves generated after the array-breaking talisman was activated instantly covered the key areas of the entire palace-protecting array, destroying all the array inscriptions within.

The array of light that had been surrounding the Evil Wood Palace gradually disappeared, and the entire palace was like a naked beauty laid out before everyone's eyes.

"Be bold!"

A furious voice came from the Evil Wood Palace; it was the Divine Corpse Dharma King.

"The formation has been broken, charge forward!"

Di Yi rushed out first, locking onto the aura of the Divine Corpse Dharma King with his mental power, fearing that Zhang Ruochen would get there first.

The primordial energy of the wood element has a great effect on the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram on Zhang Ruochen's body. This time-space treasure, made by the Venerable Monk Sumeru, has unfathomable power. It even contains the roots and saplings of the Heaven-Connecting Divine Wood. If he senses the presence of the primordial energy of the wood element, Di Yi is worried that he will not be able to snatch the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram.

Zhang Ruochen was also invigorated. He took out the Purple Thunder Sword and, together with Luo Shuihan, followed behind Di Yi to attack the Evil Wood Palace.

In the distance, Huang Yanchen, Duanmu Xingling, Si Xingkong, Chang Qiqi, and the Demon Ape all revealed themselves and joined the battle.

Huang Yanchen removed the hairpin from her long, sapphire-blue hair, which transformed into a holy sword. Together with Duanmu Xingling, they unleashed a dazzling sword light, instantly killing dozens of mages who rushed out from the Evil Wood Palace.

With the Holy Sword in hand, Huang Yanchen regained some of his confidence.

"Star Spirit, let's storm the mountain and show Yi Qianlong our strength."

Duanmu Xingling nodded, but in her heart she was very wary of that Qianlong Hall Master. She always felt that his identity was not so simple. He did not seem to be a holy disciple of the Liangyi Sect, but rather had the style of a member of the Divine Sect.

Inside the Evil Wood Palace, the Divine Corpse Dharma King was shocked. After the news of the destruction of the Three Saints Palace came, he had long lost confidence in fighting against these extraterrestrial demons. He originally thought that by attaching himself to the Xu Saint Clan, he could avoid the calamity of war and perhaps even become the master of the Five Elements Continent with the help of the Xu Saint Clan.

Unexpectedly, the Xu Sheng Clan, with so many members, was no match for Zhang Ruochen. Even Nie Wenlong, a top expert on the Heavenly Ranking whose strength was no less than Zhang Ruochen's, died under Zhang Ruochen's sword.

Having suffered repeated setbacks, the Divine Corpse Dharma King lost his will to fight and only wanted to rely on the protective holy array of the palace to get through this calamity. After enduring this difficult period, he planned to go into seclusion to refine the wood spirit essence within his body. But the scene before him clearly shattered even his last dream.

"Damn Kunlun cultivators, do they have to exterminate them all?"

The Divine Relic King was enraged, gripping the Half-Saint Bone Staff tightly, ready to fight with all his might.

The next moment, he felt the terrifying sword intent that was constantly approaching, which was many times stronger than Nie Wenlong's.

"As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. These students from the Martial Arts Academy will be leaving in half a month, so there's no need for me to fight them to the death."

Upon realizing this, the Divine Relic Dharma King turned and fled in another direction at high speed.

The Divine Corpse King's strength was equivalent to that of a martial artist at the second stage of the Fish-Dragon Transformation. With his mind focused on escaping, his speed was naturally extremely fast, reaching several times the speed of sound.

Emperor Yi stormed into the main hall and was taken aback to find it empty.

"This Divine Corpse King is truly a clever man; he actually escaped directly."

"However, it's not that easy."

Di Yi released his spiritual power, found the remaining aura of the Divine Remains Dharma King, and used the Flowing Light Flying Rainbow Escape Technique to follow the aura.

He chased for nearly a hundred miles before finally catching a glimpse of the Divine Relic King's back.

Sensing the approaching presence behind him, the Divine Corpse King knew he couldn't escape today, so he stopped and decided to fight Emperor Yi to the death.

Almost instantly, he activated the Wood elemental energy within his body, intending to unleash a strike beyond his own cultivation level to kill Di Yi.

Di Yi was prepared for this. The moment he caught up, he summoned the Crimson Copper Brahma Seal. The crimson holy seal transformed into a small metal mountain, several tens of feet in size, like a bronze mountain.

The might of the sacred artifact was overwhelming, freezing the Divine Remains Dharma King in place.

Emperor Yi's figure instantly appeared in front of the Divine Corpse Dharma King, and he struck out with a claw, which was the 'Yellow Springs Without End' from the Hell Ghost King's claw.

The physical body of the Divine Corpse Dharma King was far less powerful than that of the Kunxu Dharma King. It was torn to pieces by this claw, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, leaving only a verdant primordial energy ball in place.

"The fundamental energy of the Wood element."

The Emperor's eyes burned with heat, and he suppressed it with the Crimson Copper Heaven-Burning Seal, then retrieved it into his Qi Sea.

Within the Purple Mansion's Sea of ​​Consciousness, the Illuminating Lotus, shimmering with azure light, had long been impatient. As the Wood Element Origin Qi was suppressed into the Sea of ​​Qi, it made its move once more.

As before, it was pulled into the sea of ​​consciousness, then ruthlessly dispersed and absorbed, turning it into nutrients for its own growth.

The Divine Lotus began to grow continuously, and soon it grew to nine feet nine inches. The buds slowly bloomed, revealing thirty-six petals that shimmered with a sacred and dazzling primordial blue light.

Under the azure light, Emperor Yi felt his mind was more active than ever before, and all the difficulties he had with the mental realm scriptures were easily resolved.

Realizing the rarity of this opportunity, and disregarding the distribution of the Purple Cloud Agarwood within the Evil Wood Palace, he found a secluded cave, set up a simple concealment formation, and began his seclusion within the cave.

The Mind Realm contains 3,600 volumes, encompassing the methods of the Three Paths and endless variations. Its contents are vast and boundless, and mortals could not comprehend even a fraction of them in a lifetime.

Under the illumination of the primordial azure light, Di Yi's mind was more active than ever before. Even a spiritual power saint might not be able to compare with him. He flipped through the pages of silver-plated books in front of him, quickly browsing them with his spiritual power. Only after spiritual power reached the fortieth level did the strength of a spiritual power cultivator begin to gradually emerge.

Exceptional learning ability and extremely active thinking are just some of the special features.
