Chapter 96: Spring and Autumn Kill Formation
Hou Yi's Yuan Shen was only at the level of a Da Luo Golden Immortal, which was still far from enough. However, he was familiar with the Wu tribe's secret methods, and as in the past when the Wu tribe could roam freely in the Hong Huang, becoming a temporary overlord, they naturally had many extraordinary and ingenious means.
Hou Yi immediately took out a white jade altar, with twelve jade pillars around it. The altar and the jade pillars were all carved with countless mysterious and profound patterns. These patterns were obscure and difficult to understand, but as soon as one looked at them carefully, they seemed to be explaining the most fundamental principles of the universe, incredibly magical.
Hou Yi used his magical powers to activate the altar, and gradually, countless black auras surged out from underground, gathering above the altar. The twelve jade pillars emitted soft rays of light, continuously condensing the black auras together. The black auras slowly took shape, transforming into a dark, glossy jade stone that resembled a mirror.
Hou Yi's finger tip shot out a green light, and the black jade mirror suddenly appeared with countless human shadows, exactly showing the situation of Yuan Futong's camp. Gradually, the mirror reflected to the rear camp, Hou Yi saw a middle-aged Taoist priest, elegant and refined. Hou Yi felt something unusual about this person, but his opponent's Taoism was too high, making it difficult for him to discern anything.
Darkness operated the great method, and Hou Yi forced out a bit of essence blood, shooting it onto the mirror. The pitch-black mirror instantly gained a layer of faint blood light. Looking at the Taoist again, Hou Yi saw something abnormal with one glance. His opponent had a human body, but in his primordial spirit, there was a three-legged golden crow constantly flying about.
Hou Yi and the Golden Crow were old enemies, thinking they had all died out, but unexpectedly there was still a remnant of the Golden Crow in the world. However, this Golden Crow seemed to have lost its demon body, only retaining its primordial spirit. But the other side seemed to be extremely powerful, not to be underestimated. After Hou Yi knew these things, he put away his magic and had a plan in mind to eliminate this opponent.
Lu Ye was in the big camp, suddenly felt a heart palpitation, restless and anxious, but using the You tribe's great method, also didn't find anything abnormal, so just put it aside. Suddenly received a report that Wen Zhong's army came to conquer, Lu Ye knew that he might have been helped by the Jue Jiao cultivators, and immediately led the army with Yuan Fu Tong to go out and fight together.
The two armies formed a battle array, and upon looking at each other, they found that there were many more monks assisting in the war. In Wen Zhong's team, the Four Sages of Spring and Autumn rushed out to fight first. The four Taoist priests stood on one leg each, and together they used their magic spells. A large formation appeared in front of the array.
Spring and Autumn Four Sages: The eldest, Spring Light, occupies the east, where a warm atmosphere emerges in his formation, with fragrant flowers blooming everywhere. The second, Summer Day, occupies the south, where all things flourish in his formation, with trees reaching for the sky. The third, Autumn Wind, occupies the west, where yellow leaves fill the mountains, and a hint of fruit fragrance wafts out. The fourth, Winter Silence, occupies the north, where a sheet of silver white stretches out, with biting cold winds howling.
Four immortals brought the scenery of four seasons into one formation, from a distance it's breathtakingly beautiful, but some insightful people knew that hidden within were countless killing intentions, not to be underestimated. Boss Spring Light quickly arrived at Yuan Fugong's formation.
"Fellow Taoists across from us, I am Spring Light, a disciple of the Intercepting Sect and one of the Four Great Divine Beasts of Spring and Autumn. My three brothers and I have set up a Spring and Autumn Killing Formation. If you are not afraid, come and try to break it."
Yuan Futong, flushed with victory over Wen Zhong last time, saw the four cultivators of the opposing party set up an array and thought to himself: "Why not go and charge in? It'll be a good opportunity for me to show off again. By then, even that arrogant military advisor Lu Ya's position might be below mine."
Greedy Treasure arrived at the Grand Array before anyone else, still using his old trick, covering his head with Spirit Money Paper and holding a Yuanbao in his hand. As he entered the array, Greedy Treasure looked around, wanting to find the Four Sages of Spring and Autumn, but found that there were no longer four people. He only felt that the scenery around him was constantly changing, flowing and transforming without stopping, and it was getting faster and faster.
Tanbao was also at a loss for a moment, but suddenly he saw that his hair blown by the wind had turned white, which made him shocked and lost color. Tanbao only then noticed that his body was becoming old and withered as the seasons passed, his hair turning white, skin sagging, and his hands were strangely covered with age spots.
Originally, if one cultivates to the realm of immortals, they generally won't exhibit signs of aging. However, the Four Sages of Spring and Autumn utilized the energy of heaven and earth's four seasons to set up an array, with the seasons flowing in cycles, time flew by in the midst of this. Greedy Treasure hadn't cultivated to the realm of Golden Immortals, unable to achieve a Dao body that wouldn't perish. The grand array lacked the nourishment of immortal spirits' energy, so the power of time took effect on Greedy Treasure, causing him to transform into an old man in a strange and mysterious way.
Never had Greedy Treasure seen such a bizarre and extraordinary magical technique, the Tong Sheng paper money on his head was unable to withstand this time-space transformation divine ability. Greedy Treasure felt his life force rapidly flowing away, his magical powers growing weaker and weaker, almost no longer under his control, a feeling of being powerless surged up in his heart.
The four immortals in the formation were overjoyed at this time, their brother's first battle was a victory, which made them proud. The four of them were in high spirits and accelerated the movement of the large formation even more. Greedy Treasure Daoist, who was inside the formation, seemed to feel that his doomsday was approaching, and a hint of ferocity appeared on his face.
Tanbao suddenly poured all his spiritual power into Yuanbao, and it shot towards the east of the large array. In an instant, Yuanbao grew to the size of a small mountain, carrying boundless power as it struck down.
This blow used nearly sixty percent of Tanbao's magic, and its power was unmatched. Chun Guang felt that he could hardly resist it, so he deliberately dodged a bit, creating a gap in the entire array. Tanbao's yuanbao happened to shatter Chun Jing, and a large piece of the originally infinite beautiful spring color disappeared.
Tanbao wanted to rush out of this gap, but he lost too much mana. The other three people simultaneously released three palm thunderbolts, which happened to hit the Tongshen paper money, and this treasure actually fell down.
Tanbaodao person lost the protection of the law treasure, Chun Guang took advantage of the opportunity to return to his original position, the big array flowed and turned, Tanbao let out a few weak cries of pain, and then withered and died, turning into a giant toad, and then became a pile of white bones, finally becoming flying ash, completely disappearing.
The four immortals of spring and autumn stopped their great formation, and Chun Guang came forward with a joyful expression on his face to continue calling out the formation.
Yuan Futong was also greatly shocked to see Greedy Treasure True Person die, and he couldn't help but look at Military Advisor Lu Ya. Lu Ya, on the other hand, seemed completely unbothered, as if neither Greedy Treasure nor the Spring Autumn Four Immortals were worthy of his attention, being too lowly. However, Lu Ya did not plan to take direct action, fearing the karma of the Great Calamity and also afraid that the various saints would notice him, which might put his own life in danger.
Lu Yao's gaze fell on another young Taoist, who was the thousand-year-old Ice Heart Dao, also known as Han Bing Dao Ren. Originally under the North Sea Witch Peng's command, Lu Yao also thought of utilizing Peng's power this time. Peng was even more cunning than others, so he sent only Han Bing Dao to assist Lu Yao, unwilling to send anyone else.
Lu Yao now wants him to deal with the Four Immortals of Spring and Autumn.
