Chapter 19: Absolute Death, Absolute Killing, Absolute Annihilation

  Formation methods include Maze Formation, Lockdown Formation, Defensive Formation, Slaughter Formation, Combination Formation...

  It goes without saying that the maze is a formation that confuses the target, also known as the illusion array, such as the Yin and Yang Maze Heaven Array. The maze and the trapped array have similar effects but are different. The maze will not launch any attacks on the target in the array, it only confuses the target, and can walk out of the maze by breaking the illusion.

  Although the maze does not launch any attacks on the target in the array, the target in the array is not 100% safe. Some advanced mazes can make people trapped in the maze unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, causing the target's spirit to collapse and die.

  The siege array is a formation that surrounds the target, similar to the maze array. However, unlike the maze array which uses illusions to confuse the target, the siege array uses coercive means to trap the target within the array, making it impossible for the target to escape. To exit the siege array, one must destroy the formation first.

  To break a confinement array, one must destroy the array method. To break an illusion array, one only needs to walk out of the array range, which is also a major difference between confinement and illusion arrays.

  Defense formation, that is, the formation of defensive targets attacking, has no direct means of attack, but has a certain counter-shock ability. Like the Jin Gang Dazhen and the Kun Array, in order to break the array, the entire array must be destroyed before it can be done, which is completely opposite to the killing array.

  Killing formation is an attacking formation aimed at the target, with no defensive means, only attacking means, and it is a completely opposite formation to the defensive formation.

  Hezhèn is a type of formation that combines the four formations of mí zhèn (maze formation), kùn zhèn (siege formation), fáng zhèn (defensive formation) and shā zhèn (killing formation). Common combinations include the combination of mí zhèn and kùn zhèn, mí zhèn and shā zhèn, kùn zhèn and shā zhèn, fáng zhèn and shā zhèn, as well as combinations of formations of the same type.

  Combined array, is the truly formidable large array, all sects' garrisoned town's defensive arrays are combined arrays, which can attack, defend, trap enemies and confuse them.

  The two major arrays encountered by Gu Chen, the Yinyang Mysterious Heaven Array is a maze array, and the Mustard Golden Vajra Array is a defensive array. Both the maze array and the defensive array are relatively safe array methods. The defensive array doesn't need to be said, as long as you don't attack the defensive array, it won't launch any attacks on the target.

  Gu Zhen was an old monster who had lived for nearly 500 years, with a firm mind that was not easily affected by illusions. He also had some research on formations, so the maze naturally didn't pose much of a threat to him.

  One maze array, one defensive array, Gu Chen naturally didn't suffer any injuries.

  If either of the two arrays is a confinement array or a killing array, Gu Chen will be in big trouble. With his post-heavenly cultivation, if he enters the confinement array, he can only be trapped and even if he knows the array method, he doesn't have the power to destroy a confinement array within the array. If he enters the killing array, it's even more dangerous. With just post-heavenly cultivation, even if Gu Chen wants to dodge in his heart, his body won't be able to dodge the killing moves of the killing array.

  Gu Chen's face revealed a smile, naturally he had found a way to break the Suzaku Golden Vajra Great Array. There was only one way to break the array, and that was to launch a strong attack. A strong attack didn't necessarily have to be done by the person breaking the array using their own magical powers; it could also be achieved with the help of other objects.

  The greatest borrowed power in the Xiuzhen world is not a magic treasure or a magic weapon, but an array.

  A clever array master sets up a powerful combined array, even if the cultivator is one level higher than the array master and has a more powerful magical treasure in his hand, he may still suffer greatly in the array master's combined array.

  To break the Suzaku Golden Great Array, there is a way to do it, that is to use an array to break an array, and naturally, you need to use an attacking array to break its defensive array.

  Although Gu Chen knew that the number of formations he had was not many, but also not few, there were several killing formations that could break through the Su Mi Jin Gang formation. However, with Gu Chen's cultivation, the easiest formation to set up was only one: the Three Extremes Great Formation of Absolute Death, Absolute Killing and Absolute Destruction.

  The materials needed for the Three Absolute Arrays are the easiest for Gu Chen to obtain compared to other killing arrays.

  Three Extremes Formation: Extreme Death, Extreme Kill, and Extreme Annihilation. Requires three array materials: Soul-Calling Flower, Blood Slime, and Tiger's Inner Elixir.

  Adenium obesum is also known as Adenium or Desert Rose

  Blood mercury is a toxic metal, representing slaughter. Humans who are poisoned by blood mercury will forget everything except for slaughter and become a killing machine. Blood mercury is also an excellent material for refining equipment. Adding a hint of blood mercury to magical artifacts or weapons can increase their attack power.

  Zhuī Hǔ is a fire-type demon beast, representing destruction, said to come from hell, and likes to live in the lava of volcanoes.

  These three materials are just relatively easier to obtain than those of several other killing arrays, but in fact each one is a rare thing in the world.

  Gǔ Zhēn wants to obtain these three materials, he must first reach the Xiantian realm's cultivation. The Xiantian realm's cultivation is also a prerequisite for setting up the Three Extremes Great Array of Absolute Death, Absolute Killing and Absolute Destruction.

  To break through the Su Mei Golden Vajra Great Array, Gu Chen must at least raise his cultivation to the Xiantian realm, which is impossible in a short period of time.

  Although Gu Chen is only at the fifth layer of the Post-Heaven Realm now, judging from his cultivation speed this month, it will take less than a year to reach the Pre-Heaven Realm. After reaching the Pre-Heaven Realm, he can start searching for the Soul-Calling Flower, Blood Essence, and Scorched Tiger.

  After gathering the three materials, set up the Three Extremes Grand Array around this Spiritual Medicine Garden. Use the Three Extremes Grand Array to break the Mustard Seed Golden Vajra Grand Array. At that time, all the spiritual medicines in this garden will belong to Gu Chen.

  Cultivate the Dust Washing Pill, let him change his fate, and it's possible that within two years, Gu Cangqiong will catch up with Gu Cangyue's cultivation. At the Clan Leader Competition in two years, he'll make a stunning debut, seize the position of Clan Leader, and Gu Chen's first step to changing his destiny will be successful.

  Forcing a breakthrough in the array, originally requiring the cultivation of the Divine Sea Realm, but relying on the Three Extremes Great Array, Gu Chen's Pre-Heavenly Realm can break through this Mount Sumeru Vajra Great Array, how could Gu Chen not be overjoyed?

  Originally wanted to practice the Dust Washing Pill, the necessary thousand-year-old Gathering Spirit Mushroom, Nirvana Flower, and Primordial Fruit were nowhere to be found. Now that hope is right in front of him, how could Gu Chen not be delighted?

  Now, Gu Chen only needs to cultivate and improve his cultivation, strive to reach the Xiantian realm as soon as possible, obtain the spiritual medicine garden in the vast sky cave mansion, and refine the top-grade spiritual elixir Huichen Dan.

  He took another deep look at the lush spiritual herbs in the Spiritual Herb Garden, then closed his eyes and turned around. He didn't let his desire spread further in his heart. Before he could break through the Mustard Seed Golden Array, no matter how strong his desire for the spiritual herbs was, it would be useless. It's better to intensify his training and reach the Pre-Heavenly realm as soon as possible.

  Lowering his head to look at the Blood Crown Fox, he saw that it was still lying on the ground motionless. It seemed that when the Blood Crown Fox had seen the spiritual medicine in the garden, its innate ability as a demon beast told it that these medicines would be very effective for it, so it suddenly pounced forward.

  The result is predictable, the stronger the power to attack the Mustard Golden Array, the greater the counter-shock force. The Blood Crown Fox must have been counter-shocked by the Mustard Golden Array's law force light screen and suffered a not insignificant injury.

  Gu Chen picked up the Blood Crown Fox and examined its body. As expected, due to the intense backlash, its body was now extremely weak.

  Just now, the Blood Crown Fox had helped him once when he was trapped by the Heart Demon. Gu Chen and it could be said to have gone through thick and thin together in the Yin Yang Maze Heaven Array, and had even taken its Blood Crown. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

  He pulled out a bottle of medium-grade Yuan Spirit Liquid from his bosom and waved it in front of the Blood Crown Fox, saying: "Drink this and your injuries will heal immediately."

  "Spirit medicine? The Blood Crown Fox's eyes lit up, recognizing spirit medicine is the nature of a demon beast, unlike humans who only have professional medicine identifiers to distinguish."

  Gu Chen smiled and said: "I cut off your Blood Crown, but not only did you not hold a grudge against me, you even helped me when I was in danger. This bottle of Yuanyuan Spirit Liquid is my gift to thank you."

  Opened the bottle cap, poured a bottle of medium-grade Yuanling liquid into the Blood Crown Fox's mouth. The Blood Crown Fox drank the Yuanling liquid and immediately closed its eyes, motionless, digesting the Yuanling liquid in its body.

  Less than a moment later, Blood Crown Fox jumped up, and the injuries on his body had completely healed.

  "Alright, follow me to the cave. Although you've refined the spiritual liquid, it'll still take some time to fully absorb it. Let's go to the cave and refine it slowly."

  Gu Chen thought of the feather cloak on the skeleton in the cave, and walked towards the cave. Since this spiritual medicine garden couldn't be figured out for the time being, it wouldn't be bad to get that seemingly good feather cloak first.
