Gou Zai Fei Men made up myths

I'm currently reading Chapter 240, "A Desperate Struggle," and I'm completely engrossed in it.

"Hmph! Sharp-tongued and stubborn!" True Man Chiyang finally spoke again, interrupting Shen Mo. The slight impatience in his tone finally turned into icy killing intent. "I have no time to waste on your ant-like words. If you don't surrender within three breaths, you will die."

The last word "death" was uttered as if it were a divine law! A pressure far more terrifying than before, condensed with the laws of the Golden Core, descended with a roar, like a solid mountain ten thousand feet high, or a raging domain of flames that could burn everything, completely enveloping Shen Mo and the other three!

The air froze instantly, the space seemed to be frozen, and even the flow of spiritual energy became extremely sluggish! Shi Tie groaned, his legs bent slightly, the jade bricks beneath his feet shattered, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Su Xiao and Zhao Qingyan trembled violently, their faces turned ashen, and their protective spiritual light fluctuated wildly, almost collapsing!

The difference between Foundation Establishment and Golden Core is on full display at this moment!

Only Shen Mo, relying on the faint resonance between his Flowing Cloud Dao Body and the cave heaven, as well as the strong divine sense aided by the system, forcibly straightened his spine. However, the veins on his forehead bulged, and fine beads of sweat instantly soaked his temples, while his blood and qi churned like boiling water.

He stared intently into the emotionless golden eyes of the Crimson Sun Immortal, knowing that words were useless and that life and death hung in the balance!

"One!" True Man Chiyang counted indifferently, his voice not loud, but it sounded like a death knell tolling deep into everyone's soul.

"Sect Leader!" Shi Tie's eyes were bloodshot as he tried to struggle, but he was firmly suppressed by the domain of law.

"Two!" A cruel and gleeful smile appeared on the face of the Crimson Sky Venerable. The other three disciples of the Blazing Sun Sect also unleashed their auras, locking onto their respective targets. They were just waiting for the Venerable's order to tear the four people in front of them to pieces.

The atmosphere inside the cave was extremely oppressive, with the aura of death permeating every inch of space.

Just as Master Chiyang's lips moved slightly, about to utter the life-or-death decision of "three,"...

"Now! Qingyan, activate the formation!!!" Shen Mo suddenly let out a thunderous roar! At the same time, he no longer held back, pushing his Flowing Cloud Dao Body to its limit, and slammed his hands hard onto the ground!

Buzz! He forcibly drew upon the remaining primordial power of the entire Flowing Cloud Cave Heaven in a manner that was almost self-destructive, transforming it into a thick cyan pillar of light that was injected into the underground spiritual vein node!

"Minor Nine Palaces Flowing Cloud Formation! Reverse the universe! Lock the immortals in the clouds! Trapped! Trapped! Trapped!" Zhao Qingyan had already raised her mind to the limit. Upon receiving the command, she moved with a resolute expression. Her hands conjured up countless afterimages as she unleashed a series of dazzling runes!

Dozens of array plates, which had long been hidden in various corners of the cave and connected to the nodes of the spiritual veins, were activated at the same time!

Buzz—rumble rumble rumble!

The entire Flowing Cloud Cave Heaven emitted a tremendous roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created! The "Sun, Moon and Stars" gem on the dome burst forth with blinding light, and beams of starlight fell down, merging into the great formation!

On the four walls, the cloud patterns that were on the verge of collapse seemed to have a final burst of energy, flowing, reorganizing, and intertwining at an unprecedented speed! In an instant, heaven and earth reversed, and space distorted!

Endless white clouds appeared out of nowhere, so thick they could not be dispersed, and instantly swallowed up the five people, including True Man Chiyang, who had just entered the cave and had not yet had time to explore it carefully!

Within the clouds and mist, not only was the view simply obscured, but sword energy crisscrossed and roared, thunder rumbled faintly, countless inner demons and illusions arose, and the space layered upon layer, forming a deadly trapping formation!

This is the strongest trapping formation that Zhao Qingyan could set up by combining the characteristics of the Flowing Cloud Secret Realm!

"Hmm? A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert?!" The Crimson Sun Master, trapped in the formation, let out a cold snort that was tinged with surprise, but mostly with disdain.

With a casual flick of his sleeve, a condensed crimson-gold sword aura, seemingly composed of pure solar fire, slashed towards the densest part of the fog and the core of the array's aura, like a ray of dawn tearing through the darkness!

Wherever the sword energy passed, the clouds and mist melted away like spring snow, and the hidden array patterns flickered and wailed. The power of a single strike from a Golden Core cultivator was terrifying!

However, this formation is powered by the remaining spiritual veins of the entire Liuyun Cave Heaven, and it is also enhanced by the Cave Heaven's origin activated by Shen Mo at the cost of sacrificing his Dao foundation. Furthermore, it incorporates the spatial characteristics of the secret realm itself, making its effect of trapping enemies far beyond the ordinary!

Although Master Chiyang's sword strike was powerful, breaking through a core layer of the formation, more clouds and mist surged in from all directions, causing the formation structure to change instantly and continuously, ultimately dissolving and dispersing most of the power of his casual sword strike!

At the same time, the power of the formation mainly served to isolate, confuse, and delay, forcibly separating True Man Chiyang and Venerable Man Chixiao, causing them to fall into different formation spaces.

"Master! This formation is strange! It's integrated with this cave, and it changes in countless ways!" The voice of the Crimson Sky Venerable came from somewhere in the formation, filled with shock and anger. He felt as if he had fallen into a boundless sea of ​​clouds, his divine sense was severely suppressed, and he could not distinguish up, down, left, or right. He could not even sense the aura of his companions. He could only passively resist the omnipresent sword energy and illusion attacks.

"Break it open! Find the core of the formation!" The voice of True Man Chiyang carried a hint of genuine anger. He pointed out several fingers in succession, each finger transforming into a giant fiery finger that could scorch the sky and boil the sea, bombarding different locations of the cloud formation and triggering a series of explosions!

The entire cave shook like a small boat in a storm, cracks spread rapidly on the walls, and even fragments of stone began to fall in a flurry!

The essence of the cave is being rapidly depleted, and the formation may collapse at any moment!

"Go!" Shen Mo's face was as pale as paper. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his body swaying precariously. Forcibly activating the source of his cave had caused him to suffer a severe backlash, his meridians feeling as if they were being cut by knives.

But he dared not linger. He grabbed Zhao Qingyan, who had collapsed from exhaustion due to presiding over the formation and her spiritual energy, and roared at Shi Tie, who was also seriously injured but whose fighting spirit had not diminished, and Su Xiao, whose face was pale: "Go to the hidden gate in the southeast corner! Enter the Chaos Sea! Hurry!"

The four transformed into four streams of light of different colors. Shi Tie cleared the way, Su Xiao brought up the rear, and Shen Mo supported Zhao Qingyan. Like arrows released from a bow, they rushed towards a seemingly ordinary stone wall in the southeast corner of the cave, which was actually discovered and marked by Zhao Qingyan in advance. It was a stone wall covered with tiny cracks. It was an unstable spatial node that led to the outer edge of the Chaos Sea, which was fraught with danger!

Just as their figures were about to disappear into the rippling stone wall!

"Break for me!!!"

Rumble—!!!

With a furious roar from True Man Chiyang, accompanied by a golden fist imprint that seemed to melt the void, the core restriction of the entire Flowing Cloud Cave Heaven was completely shattered!

The Nine Palaces Cloud Array dissipated, the thick fog cleared instantly, revealing the desolate state of the cave—the spiritual light was dim, the ground was in ruins, nearly half of the four walls had collapsed, and the spiritual veins were weak and feeble.

The five figures of True Man Chiyang reappeared, looking somewhat disheveled with their robes charred, but clearly had not suffered any real damage.

"Where are they?!" The Crimson Sky Immortal's divine sense swept across the entire broken cave like a storm, but he could no longer detect any trace of Shen Mo and the other three. Only the spatial ripples that were slowly healing on the southeast corner of the stone wall proved that they had just escaped.

True Immortal Chiyang's face was grim. His cold gaze swept over the spatial rift, then looked at the severely damaged spiritual veins of the grotto-heaven, and he sneered, "How slippery! They actually went so far as to destroy this blessed land, using the formation to delay them, and escape through the spatial rift! Their destination is the Chaos Sea..."

His eyes flashed with a cold light, his killing intent almost tangible: "Chase them! They can't get far! The Chaos Sea is a dead end, their burial ground! I'd like to see how long these ants can escape!"

"Yes! It's a real person!"

Five figures, fueled by overwhelming rage at being tricked and a desperate greed, instantly tore through the still unstable space and chased after the direction in which Shen Mo and the other three had fled!

The speed of the Golden Core stage far surpasses that of the Foundation Establishment stage. Even with spatial interference, catching up is only a matter of time!
