Chapter 767: The Slaughter of the Thousand Armies Diagram

  The wooden element was suppressed again, and he wasn't in a hurry. He cursed loudly, "You stinky old skull, you deserve to be sealed here for the rest of your life! You can't escape! I'll set up another formation outside, so you won't meet any living person again. Don't think about getting out!"

  Bimo was silent, his body radiating a brilliant light, as white as jade, with no gaps or openings. Two streams of red and white energy circulated around him, occasionally bursting out in flames or ice crystals. The opposing forces did not conflict, but instead allowed him to be half-covered in frost and half-surrounded by raging flames, making it impossible for him to speak.

  Mu Yuan scolded for a while, feeling still not relieved, seeing that strange fish still circling around not far away. This cave was blocked by the Town Demon Stone and there was no seawater, but this fish had also adapted. Mu Yuan pointed his finger in a circle, and the sword edge responded to the shot, blasting the strange fish into pieces, its entire body of bone spines shattered and fell to the ground. Mu Yuan then released another spell, which was the Guangming Putuo Mantra of the Tide Pool True Qi Condensation. With just one circle, the strange fish was sucked clean!

  "Hmph, from now on this spell will be called the North Ming Water Spell. When the Dragon King's energy is condensed and visible, it will be called the Purple Thunder Dragon Spell. I'd like to see what kind of magical powers can be cultivated with this!"

  That strange fish was sucked dry by the Northern Ming Water Curse, leaving only a pile of white bones, without even leaving behind its spirit or soul. There was also a rope-like object, which looked like the tongue that had previously circled around Mu Yuan's sword. However, it now revealed its true form, a one-foot-long strange thing that resembled a rope but wasn't one, soft and fluffy. Mu Yuan plucked it out of thin air, shook it casually, and felt something inside. With a burst of true energy, he shook off the external objects attached to it, revealing a bone whip!

  "Old man, this must be yours, and today I'm taking it away!" Mu Yuan picked up the object, feeling a bit better in his heart. The intense collision had just damaged the newly repaired meridians again, causing him to break out in cold sweat. Fortunately, the gentle and nourishing flow of the Longevity Qi helped to repair and nurture, so he didn't worry about it. He simply shook off the Bone Whip on his hand, seeing that it was densely covered with intricate talismans. Mu Yuan examined it for a moment, finding that it was quite different from the spells he had studied, but surprisingly similar to the sword techniques of a certain witch tribe.

  He had only read halfway when he suddenly stopped, Mu Yuan was puzzled, and then heard the sound of rushing water outside, a strange fish rushed in, exactly the same as the previous one. Mu Yuan's mind suddenly cleared up, "It turns out that it is an incomplete treasure!"

  He immediately pointed the Beiming Water Curse and pounced on it. This strange fish only had one tongue that was refined with Bi Mo's bone whip, which was not easy to deal with. However, its own power was not great. The sword edge flashed out, encircling the tongue, and the Beiming Water Curse swallowed it as usual. Mu Yuan obtained another segment of the bone whip!

  "Ah, I see!" The two pieces of the Bone Whip didn't fit together, so Mu Yuan sat down with his legs crossed, thinking to himself that there must be more strange fish. He waited quietly, and after a while, seven more strange fish rushed in, making it nine in total. They were all killed by Mu Yuan, who then took the Bone Whip pieces and found they could be joined together into one piece. It shone brightly, like jade stone, with intricate talismans that made it look beautiful. Mu Yuan was very satisfied and put it away, looking at Bi Mo's skull still struggling under the Town Demon Stone, feeling relieved.

  "This old thing won't just have one bone whip, I'll take a closer look around!" Mu Yuan circled the hole, spreading his spiritual energy to scan the surroundings, but gained nothing. Although he felt a bit disappointed, he still thought it was worth the trip. The bone whip in his hand didn't know what material it was made of, its texture was hard and shiny, like mercury, and more amazingly, there was an endless stream of spiritual energy emanating from it. Mu Yuan activated the inscription on the bone whip, and a layer of hazy light immediately appeared on the surface of the whip. Even with Mu Yuan's current cultivation base, he couldn't pierce through it with his Qingmu Divine Spear, which made Mu Yuan very happy!

  Now he has a lot of magical artifacts in his hands, the Longevity Sword is not to be underestimated, and there are also the Six Harmony Sword Pill and the Azure Wood Thunder Sword. The Six Paths True Words Mantra is also very useful, but defensive magical artifacts are rare. This Bone Whip is extremely beautiful and its defense is strong. Mu Yuan tied it around his waist as a jade belt, which was very elegant. With just a thought, a layer of colorful light enveloped him, and when released, it transformed into a white dragon-like aura that could penetrate stone walls and bind people. That strange fish was only at the level of connecting its veins, refining its energy to one layer, and getting one-ninth of Mu Yuan's Sword Pill. Although it took advantage of his unpreparedness, it also showed how formidable it was. Now Mu Yuan's cultivation is far above that of the strange fish, and the Bone Whip is even more powerful when combined with his energy!

  "Unexpectedly, old skull, you're unassuming in appearance, but the refined treasure is surprisingly luxurious and beautiful! No wonder you've cultivated an indestructible body, a great achievement of the demonic sect. You don't like to talk, so I'll take my leave first!"

  Mù Yuàn flipped the black gourd, and a thousand-phantasmagoric array of water flow condensed inside, stirring up crystal stones. Immediately, a layer of illusion was laid outside the cave entrance, with faint ripples that were almost impossible to detect unless one was deliberately looking for them!

  The Mirage Dragon Thousand Illusion Formation was never known for its lethality, but rather as a marvelous formation for hiding and trapping people. With Mu Yuan's layout on the outer layer, ordinary people would find it even harder to break in. Bi Mo, the old ghost, might be trapped here forever!

  Just as Mu Yuan was about to leave, Bi Mo's empty and hollow eyes suddenly burst into two green flames. He gritted his teeth, word by word, "You shameless little beast, when I escape from this predicament, I will definitely seal your soul inside my Tianmo Huagui whip, where you will be tormented by the underworld fire day and night, never to be freed!"

  Mu Yuan suddenly heard Bi Mo's gnashing words and couldn't help but shiver, forcing a smile to say, "Old ghost, enjoy slowly, you also said that there is no superior heart method, your Inverted Blood Transformed Divine Method is just a half-baked yuan Shen created skill, who knows who will be more powerful in the end!"

  He then patted the Bone Whip at his waist and said, "It was originally called the Heavenly Devil's Bone Whip, what a terrible name. From now on, I'll call you the Spiritual Communication Jade Belt!"

  With a burst of true energy, he shot out like an arrow, and there was no longer any attachment to the spiritual abyss. Mu Yuan rose in a straight line, and the Heavenly Dragon Seal on his head had disappeared, but he could still hear the thunder rumbling outside the deep pool, shaking his ears deafeningly. Mu Yuan hid his body shape, took a peek, and saw that Ao Lie's soldiers were arranged in a peculiar Nine Palaces Great Array, floating above Ao Lie's head. Between Ao Lie and the water soldiers, there was an enormous array diagram, which was hazy and mysterious, with strange lights and shadows, fish and dragons stretching out, and all the water soldiers' magical powers poured into it, constantly gathering towards Ao Lie. Ao Lie's entire body seemed to have increased his magical power, with a knife and a sword on both arms, shining brightly, colliding with each other, clashing incessantly!

  Ao Cheng and Ao Jing, the two brothers, seemed to have no such means. They stood shoulder to shoulder in one place. Ao Jing's silver-white long spear had transformed into a silver-white giant dragon, spewing out fierce halos, while his Xuan Yin Lei Sha had transformed into a water belt like a starry river, surrounding them on both sides. Ao Cheng's Tian Long Yin was also swirling above, with a radiant glow dancing around it, as they joined forces to resist Ao Lie's air troops.

  "This thing is not bad, gathering the power of many people for one's own use. The key lies in that formation chart. No wonder Ao Lie dared to contend with these two brothers. It turns out there's such a trick. Since that's the case, I'll lend you a helping hand first. Hmm, Ao Jing is too formidable, let's avoid his sharp edge and take down Ao Cheng first!"

  Mu Yuan deliberately tried to perform the wonderful use of Lingtong Yudai, his right hand pointed, and the jade belt transformed into a fine rainbow, swift as lightning, directly penetrating the dazzling light of the Tianlong Seal, and in one circle on Ao Cheng's body, it trapped him tightly!

  Ao Jing let out a loud shout, and a sharp aura shot out from his hand, swirling around Ao Cheng in an attempt to cut off the jade belt. However, the jade belt emitted a brilliant white light that Ao Jing's aura couldn't penetrate. Mu Yuan burst into laughter as the Spirit-Communicating Jade Belt flew back with Ao Cheng, heavily landing on the ground!

  "What a wonderful use, indeed it's something that old guys would use!" Mu Yuan was delighted, Ao Jing alone faced Ao Lie's large formation, although still standing firm, but also somewhat struggling. At this moment, all of Ao Lie's naval forces had joined the formation, and seeing their master being suppressed, they swarmed up, only to be randomly struck by Mu Yuan's sword energy. The North Ming Water Curse transformed into a dark black light, flowing and turning, formless and intangible, devouring everyone's magic!

  With the protection of Mu Yuan, Ao Lie became even more unscrupulous, his aura and martial arts becoming increasingly resplendent. The pressure from Ao Jing's Xuan Yin Lei Jue was overwhelming, causing it to roll and explode continuously. Ao Jing also went all out, his Lei Jue surging up and exploding simultaneously. The massive counter-shock force caused Ao Lie to transfer the impact entirely onto the Shui Bing Water Soldiers, who were either vomiting blood and falling to the ground or having their bodies exploded. Ao Lie's entire body was also shaking uncontrollably. However, Ao Jing was even more unbearable, struggling to activate his Silver Spear to separate Ao Lie's aura, before retreating in a flutter.

  Ao Lie didn't pursue, his hands still trembling with the aftershocks of the energy he had unleashed. His aura was majestic as a mountain, his breath vast as the ocean, and his spirit fierce and unyielding. This array diagram was called the Thousand Troops Annihilation Diagram, a rare treasure among the Dragon Palace's array diagrams. It was most skilled at gathering and utilizing others' magical powers for oneself, making it perfectly suited for the Dragon Palace descendants to defend against enemies.

  Ao Lie was different from Ao Jing and the others; in the Dragon Palace, he belonged to an independent category, not like Ao Jing and other orthodox dragon tribe descendants who could still gather together. Ao Feng had given him this array diagram, greatly enhancing his own magical powers, so that he wouldn't be bullied by others. Ao Lie was also newly promoted, and this was his first trial; indeed, it was formidable!

  Ao Jing's eyes were fixed intently on the array diagram on Ao Lie's head, flickering uncertainly, as if he was thinking of something. After a long time, he said, "Brother Ao Lie indeed received the emperor's favor, even this Thousand Army Annihilation Array Diagram was given to you. This time, my brother and I admit defeat, we will withdraw from Lingyuan Reef and never come again. Please, senior, release Ao Cheng!"

  Mu Yuan's gaze inquired, and Ao Lie nodded slightly, casually pinching a seal mark to send it over. The Lingtong Jade Belt transformed into a ball of white light that withdrew back into his waist. Ao Cheng angrily shouted and jumped up, the Tianlong Seal flying over from afar and landing on his hand. His eyes blazed with fury, thinking only of swinging the large seal to smash Mu Yuan to death, but he was pulled away by Ao Jing.

  Seeing the two brothers' water army slowly retreating, Ao Lie put away his formation map, with a pleased expression on his face. He smiled and said to Mu Yuan, "Today I finally vented my anger, Fellow Daoist fell into the Lingyuan Reef, didn't suffer any harm, did you?"

  Mu Yuan smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, it's just that I was caught off guard by the two of them and my breath was momentarily disordered. After adjusting my breath for a moment below, I'll be fine!"

  Kai Ruo Lie let out a sigh of relief, and Mu Yuan's heart was filled with joy. "I've managed to obtain the Sevenfold Silver Refining Technique, and I also got Bi Mo Lao Gui's Heavenly Devil Bone Whip. This is indeed a great fortune, and I must thank you for it!"
