The Primordial War: The Symbol Emperor

"Hahaha! I never imagined that this formation would be dozens of times stronger than we thought!"

Wei Chen was overjoyed. This grand formation had exceeded his expectations. The combination of various treasures had caused some kind of anomaly.

"The profound mysteries of formations cannot be spoken of or described, hence they remain unclear..."

The Earthly Venerable was also overjoyed; he too hadn't expected the power to become so strong.

Wei Chen initially only deduced this large formation without conducting any experiments; everything was just his estimation.

Therefore, he only had a general understanding and did not fully comprehend the mysteries of the great formation.

In short, Wei Chen had no idea how strong the formation was.

“How could the power of the great formation have increased tenfold…” Wei Chen frowned and pondered, then suddenly realized, “That’s right, you cultivated the Way of Earth, plus the Eight Desolate Earth-Suppressing Pearl, and many other treasures, which led to the change in the great formation.”

After a moment's thought, the Earthly Venerable nodded and said, "Only this can explain it. Array formations are the most similar to the Great Dao, both being infinitely mysterious and unpredictable."

"The Earth Lotus and the Eight Desolate Earth-Suppressing Pearl evolve into the Earthly Dao, the Azure Lotus governs the creation of life, the Chaos Bell evolves into the heavens, the Heavenly Evolution Array Diagram is the foundation of the great array, and there are many other treasures and the essence of laws. With so many great treasures combined, the great array is enough to evolve new laws and great Daos, thus forming a great array with infinite power."

As Wei Chen spoke, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he had gained some enlightenment. He exuded a mysterious and profound aura, extremely enigmatic.

"What remarkable comprehension! No wonder Father God chose you from among countless geniuses!" the Earthly Venerable said enviously.

"Hehe! This is mine exclusively; you can't be envious of it," Wei Chen said smugly.

"Hmph! Just a loser." The Earthly Venerable sneered disdainfully.

"How did you know?" Wei Chen's pupils dilated, and he asked in shock.

"I know a thing or two about your background. Aren't you just one of the millions of losers on Earth?" the Earthly Venerable said with a faint smile.

“Fellow villager…” Wei Chen was overjoyed. At this moment, no one understood better than him the feelings of fellow villagers meeting each other.

"I'm not from your hometown." A fleeting look of conflict crossed the Earthly Venerable's eyes, his tone carrying an indescribable complexity.

Upon hearing this, Wei Chen really wanted to give him a good beating. He had thought that he had met a fellow countryman in the prehistoric world, and that he could pour out his grievances and his longing for Earth.

But to everyone's surprise, this guy wasn't him. Wei Chen's hopes were dashed, his joy plummeting from the highest heavens to the deepest abyss. The feeling was indescribable.

“Since you know my background, it proves that you are definitely not a true descendant of Pangu!” Wei Chen pondered.

“That’s right!” Earthly Venerable nodded, not denying it.

"Then you are..." Wei Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his face full of curiosity.

"We'll talk about that later. Let's deal with the ferocious beast first!" said the Earthly Venerable.

"It's just a sentence, it won't take long." Wei Chen was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"My background cannot be explained in a single sentence." After saying this, the Earthly Venerable did not wait for Wei Chen to ask any further questions before activating the great formation.

"Heh..." Wei Chen sneered. "It's clearly something you can't stand to be seen in public, but you still manage to say it so nicely."

That being said, his movements were by no means slow.

hum~

The dim stars and the shattered earth once again shone with divine light, though it was seven or eight parts weaker than the previous attack.

There's nothing we can do about it. The grand formation is indeed mysterious, but it still needs enough energy to support it.

That last attack consumed 80% of the energy, and now the formation has 20% of its energy remaining.

"The source of energy is insufficient!" said the Earthly Venerable.

“Then add all your collections!” Wei Chen said. “As a descendant of Pangu, you have a prestigious position and great fortune. Your collection must be quite extensive.”

"No..." Earthly Venerable said coldly, his face grim. "You're hopeless. What kind of time is this to still be thinking about my collection?"

"I think you're hopeless. All the resources and treasures in this formation were provided by me," Wei Chen said, his tone displeased. "You didn't contribute anything, yet you took two of my treasures. Now you won't even give me a little bit of resources, and you're actually complaining about me."

"You may not have resources, but you have one life," said the Earthly Venerable.

"Gah..." Wei Chen chuckled strangely, saying, "Since you've put it that way, I have no choice but to grant your wish and offer you up as a sacrifice..."

……

A series of buzzing sounds rose and fell from the great array, and countless brilliant divine lights reappeared, resembling a boundless realm of light, its infinite radiance illuminating the entire primordial world.

"Roar……"

Hundreds of millions of beasts roared, and the myriad paths of the void instantly vanished, with an annihilation storm spreading across the entire starry sky.

Even the incredibly sturdy array trembled, and its dazzling divine light dimmed, teetering on the brink of collapse.

"Impressive..." Wei Chen was shocked.

"Hurry, the ferocious beast is about to charge!" Earthly Venerable shouted urgently.

"This is already the limit! Changing the formation won't be that easy," Wei Chen said helplessly. Not only is the consumption of such a large-scale formation immeasurable, but it is also extremely difficult to control.

If it weren't all made of supreme treasures, they wouldn't be able to control it at all, let alone change the formation.

"Stop holding back! Use your trump cards! Even if the ferocious beasts don't charge, their roars will still shatter the great formation!" the Earthly Venerable roared.

"I've used all my trump cards, where do I have any left? Use yours!" Wei Chen complained.

"Damn it, where's your innate Dao talisman?" the Earth Venerable roared.

"How did you know?" Wei Chen frowned, staring at him.

The innate Dao talisman was the foundation of his Dao attainment, and Wei Chen had never told anyone about it. How did this guy know it?

Wei Chen was deeply confused.

"What time is it? Why are you asking such nonsense?" The Earthly Venerable became increasingly impatient.

"That's the foundation of my enlightenment. Even if the sky falls, I'll get to the bottom of this. How did you find out?" Wei Chen roared, his face contorted with rage.

The Earthly Venerable was startled, but quickly calmed down. Thinking about it, it made sense; for cultivators, nothing was more important than attaining enlightenment.

The fact that Wei Chen's ultimate treasure for attaining enlightenment was discovered meant that everything about him was known. This also explains why he was enraged, having his lifeline in his grasp.

"It was Father God who told me!" Earthly Venerable said guiltily.

"Hmph... Pangu is truly biased, revealing all my secrets to you, while keeping none of yours from me. If it weren't for this ferocious beast's attack, I wouldn't even know you existed in the primordial world," Wei Chen sneered.

"Hurry up, stop dawdling! This great formation has already concealed the secrets of heaven, and no one else can deduce it. You don't need to worry about being discovered by others," the Earthly Venerable urged.

"I really lost out big time," Wei Chen said with a bitter face.

"What loss? We're all on the same side! After this is over, I'll tell you my trump card, is that alright?" said the Earthly Venerable.

"That's more like it." Wei Chen reluctantly took out the talisman.
