Chapter 104: Backtracking

But the dead qi accumulated in the past was not enough to maintain such a huge formation.

Emperor Tianxing must have killed more people.

With such a guess, Gu Xu's thoughts quickly sank into the astrolabe and pulled out.

His expression suddenly became extremely serious.

He realized that Emperor Tianxing had just pulled them into the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm", and he didn't really expect to suppress them with the Dao Rule Realm, but wanted to use this place to shield the perception of the astrolabe in order to secretly complete the arrangement of the magic circle.

And the source of energy for this blood-colored formation came from the lives of thousands of innocent people in Luojing City.

"It turns out that Emperor Tianxing has been hiding in the palace a few days ago, and he is secretly planning this matter!" The corners of Gu Xu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile with complicated meanings.

At this moment, he clearly saw with his astrolabe that Emperor Tianxing was using his "killing" authority to massacre the civilians in the city on a large scale.

In the face of the overwhelming power of Emperor Tianxing, they had no power to resist, and one by one they fell to the ground like withered straws, their vitality passing rapidly, and before they could close their eyes, they had fallen into silence forever.

The resentful spirits of the dead converged into an invisible stream, which flowed into the formation. The formation continued to expand under the nourishment of the resentful spirit, and the scarlet light emitted from it became more and more dazzling.

As the number of dead civilians grew, the scarlet light seemed to turn into a greedy monster, twisting its body and climbing upward, stretching out countless thin red tentacles in all directions, stretching and spreading in the dark sky.

The stars that were embedded in the night gradually became dim.

A moment later, the black canopy, which was originally as thick as ink, seemed to have turned into a fragile piece of thin paper.

The scarlet light raged wildly across the canopy like a wild flame, burning one huge hole after another.

As the hole expanded, the blue sky and white clouds behind it gradually revealed, and the sunlight shone in from it, stabbing people from opening their eyes.

The "Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array" suffered a devastating blow in an instant.

The "Celestial Dragon Array" was reactivated.

The Tai'a sword in Emperor Tianxing's hand burst out with an unprecedentedly strong light at this moment, and there seemed to be a golden dragon circling and flying around the sword body, making people dare not look directly.

At the same time, the power of the Great Qi Dynasty's national fortune was like a flood that burst its banks, surging into the body of Emperor Tianxing, making his breath rise steadily, as majestic as a mountain, as deep as an ocean, and as one with heaven and earth.

Wang Jian staggered back a few steps, as if he had been drained of all his strength, and fell to the ground suddenly. His face instantly turned pale as paper, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth.

The rupture of the "Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array" caused his true yuan to be disordered, causing a violent backlash.

The others weren't as badly hurt as he was, but they weren't feeling good.

Luo Chuan's Dao realm had obviously become a lot darker.

Xu Man and Zhao Changying flew backwards a few feet away, and it was not until they flew for a long distance that they barely stabilized their figures.

Emperor Tianxing didn't give them the slightest chance to breathe.

At the moment when he regained control of the power of the national fortune, he raised the Tai'a sword in his hand again, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Xu Man, who was closest to him.

A golden divine thunder descended from the sky, carrying the power of destroying the world and landing on Xu Man's body accurately.

In an instant, Xu Man's whole person was instantly enveloped by blazing thunder and lightning. Her clothes burned quickly under the scorching heat of the thunder, turning into ashes and floating in the air. Her flesh was also scorched black under the devastation of the divine thunder, and soon only white dry bones remained.

As for her soul, it completely dissipated in the blink of an eye, and the breath of life completely disappeared at this moment, as if it had completely evaporated from this world.

This is the killer weapon used by Taishang Haotian to sanction the "Ascendant", which integrates the three principles of "Thunder", "Suppression" and "Killing", and is infinitely powerful. Even an Eighth Realm True Monarch like Zhao Changying had to go all out when facing it, and he almost died because of it.

For a Seventh Realm cultivator like Xu Man, this golden divine thunder is even more like a catastrophe. The moment she came into contact with it, she had no power to resist and simply ended her life neatly.

Gu Xu pursed his lips lightly, and his pupils became deep again, showing an indigo glow.

In the face of this overwhelming battle situation, he had no choice but to urge the power of "time" again and try to reverse time.

As the charred ashes gradually condensed, Xu Man's figure reappeared.

Wang Jian got up from the ground, and his face returned to ruddy blood.

The scarlet formations on the ground gradually converged their light, and the dark red wasteland came into their eyes again.

Everyone returned to the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" that had not yet been broken.

As before, Gu Xu still chose to borrow the soul from the "Wolf God", the "Yuan Talisman" and the true yuan from the two True Monarch powerhouses, and broke the shackles of the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm" with the "Liaoyuan" style.

The only difference is that at the moment of leaving the "Heavenly Dragon Secret Realm", he did not hesitate to perform the fifth form of the "Seven Styles of Burning the Sky" - "Fireworks World".

The blue-gray smoke mixed with the aroma of food, like light silk, swirled in the sky above the Zichen Palace of the beaded window net.

The smoke swayed in the breeze, sometimes gathering into a clump, sometimes drifting into a thread.

Gu Xu stared at all this, secretly thinking in his heart.

According to his expectations, the smoke would temporarily separate the inside and outside of the palace walls into two separate worlds, and at the same time sever the causal connection between the two sides. This means that Emperor Tianxing will no longer be able to sacrifice the lives of civilians outside the palace for a period of time to obtain the power needed to crack the "Zhou Tian Star Dou Great Array".

However, things turned out to be unexpected.

It is true that the Tianxing Emperor is temporarily unable to use the authority of "killing" to kill people on a large scale.

But the people outside the palace still fell one after another in large areas, like straw in the field that was blown down by the wind.

Seeing the meaningful smile on Emperor Tianxing's face, Gu Xu immediately realized that the authority of "killing" was originally just a means to confuse him.

In fact, Taishang Haotian had already set a death date for these ordinary people in Luojing City by modifying the "Book of Life and Death" in the Yama Palace.

He had locked himself in the palace before, and he was busy with this.

Whether the battle took place or not, at this point, these people were destined to die, and their lives became the fuel for the Great Array, making the Celestial Emperor, a jailer, stronger enough to suppress any rebellion in the "prison".

Seeing Xu Man turn to ashes under the bombardment of the thunder again, Gu Xu did not hesitate to urge the authority of "time" again and went back in time.

It's just that Emperor Tianxing's playful smile has lingered in his mind for a long time.

He knew that Emperor Tianxing could detect his constant reversal of time through his "sense of déjà vu"—and even that Emperor Tianxing might be expecting him to do so.

After all, "time" authority cannot be used indefinitely.

Especially when Emperor Tianxing, a strong man with the peak strength of the Great Wilderness, was also within the influence of "Time", Gu Xu would consume a large amount of True Yuan every time he used "Time".

Perhaps, Emperor Tianxing was looking forward to his thousand-year-old enemy, and after going back in time again and again, he still couldn't find a way to defeat himself under the suppression of absolute power, and finally could only fall into despair and bow down to him......
