833 Chapter 833, breaking the formation (4)
(two chapters combined)
“There’s a person over there!”
One of Li Nan’s subordinates couldn’t help but cry out in surprise when he saw the dried corpse
Yang Tian frowned and said, “Everyone, don’t get too close. I’ll go take a look.”
After saying that, he slowly walked towards the giant purple cauldron.
Yang Tian felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw the dried corpse of a human. He felt that it was telling him that this dried corpse was extremely dangerous.
Even the flesh and blood of powerful exotic beasts had been corroded by time, leaving only their hard bones. For a human’s flesh and blood to be left behind, it was obviously an unusual thing.
Yang Tian’s caution made Li Nan and the others nervous.
Everything here was too powerful and mysterious. It was as if there was an irresistible shadow looming over their heads.
Yang Tian held his two sabers and walked slowly toward the dried corpse under the purple cauldron.
“Bang… bang… bang…”
As he walked, Yang Tian deliberately took heavy steps. He did this to ‘alert the enemy.’.
As expected, Yang Tian’s feeling was right. When he stopped about 20 meters away from the cauldron, the dried corpse finally began to change. It was like an inflatable skin bag, rapidly expanding.
“Chi ~”
“Peng ~”
How could Yang Tian make it change completely before making his move! When he saw the mummy change, he raised his saber and slashed! The Invisible Saber Qi of the blue saber and the Blue Saber Qi of the Red Saber 15 slashed at the mummy at almost the same time.
What surprised Yang Tian was that the mummy was not as hard as he had imagined. It actually exploded under the two saber qi. “…”
“Buzz, Buzz, Buzz…”
A dense buzzing sound suddenly sounded from the flying corpse fragments.
A group of purple bugs appeared in Yang Tian’s eyes after the mummy was shattered.
Yang Tian was shocked and immediately flew back. At the same time, he shouted to Li nan and the others, “Hurry up and leave!”
Li Nan and the rest were stunned for a moment before they turned around and ran in the direction they came from.
The moment Li Nan and the rest moved, a series of ‘Xiu Xiu Xiu Xiu’sounds could be heard.
In the swarm of bugs, dozens of bugs transformed into rays of purple light and charged towards Li Nan and the rest.
The remaining bugs suddenly spread out and surrounded Yang Tian who was rapidly retreating.
Yang Tian was the closest to the mummy, while the purple bugs were extremely fast. Thousands of bugs surrounded Yang Tian in an instant.
When the bugs appeared, Yang Tian released his spiritual power to protect himself. Thousands of purple bugs were blocked three meters away from Yang Tian.
At this time, Yang Tian finally saw the shape of these purple bugs clearly.
Each purple bug was the size of a finger. Their bodies were very similar to bees, and their heads were oval. There were no large compound eyes on the bugs’heads, but they were densely packed with purple spots. It was unknown whether they were the eyes of the target or the mouthparts. There were only four legs under their abdomen, and they looked like four steel needles.
These bugs did not have wings like bees. What made the vibrating sound was their oval-shaped tails. It was unknown how they flew.
It seemed that the mummy from before was really just a skin bag. Inside it, there were all these bugs.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, a scream sounded.
Yang Tian turned around and saw one of Li Nan’s subordinates being chased by a purple bug. These bugs weren’t tiny creatures to humans, but as soon as they touched that person’s arm, they immediately burrowed into his skin.
A strong man could not help but scream in pain.
At this moment, the man’s arm could be seen drying up at an extremely fast speed.
Li Nan’s reaction was very fast. At some point, a scimitar appeared in his hand. With one slash, he cut off the man’s arm and pulled him into the yellow fog.
The purple bugs seemed to be afraid of the Yellow Mist. When they saw Li Nan and the others enter the yellow mist, they stopped chasing and immediately returned, flying toward Yang Tian.
After being surrounded by thousands of purple bugs, Yang Tian had already stopped.
Although these bugs were powerful, they were blocked by his spiritual energy and could not get close. However, Yang Tian’s spiritual energy was being consumed at an extremely fast speed.
The Little Azure Dragon’s eyes were filled with annoyance as it was surrounded by thousands of insects. It opened its mouth and spat out a stream of dragon flames.
The Dragon Flames easily passed through Yang Tian’s spiritual energy defense and enveloped over a hundred insects in an instant.
Something that surprised Yang Tian and the little azure dragon happened.
The insects did not dodge the little azure dragon’s High Temperature Dragon Flames and allowed the dragon flames to envelop them. At the same time, their bodies released an even brighter purple light.
When the Little Azure Dragon’s dragon flames disappeared, these insects that were burned by the dragon flames were actually completely fine.
Seeing this situation, the little azure dragon was extremely depressed. In the previous universe, the Little Azure Dragon’s Dragon Flames were simply invincible, but now, they seemed to have no effect on many things.
Actually, the little azure dragon also understood that this was because it wasn’t strong enough yet.
As long as it advanced another level, its dragon flames would undergo a qualitative change.
CHI ~
Seeing that the little azure dragon’s high temperature dragon flames had no effect on these strange insects, Yang Tian waved his blue saber and slashed out a streak of saber qi.
A burst of ‘Pu Pu Pu’sounds rang out. The insects that had been slashed by the Saber Qi made contact with the saber qi, emitting sounds of collision.
However, after these bugs were sent flying, they quickly flew back.
The bodies of these bugs were actually so strong!
Under Yang Tian’s astonishment, he brandished red saber fifteen once again.
If these bugs had spiritual bodies, the saber qi emitted by fifteen should have dealt them a fatal blow.
However, the result was the same as before. The Saber Qi emitted by fifteen in a row actually didn’t have any effect on them.
How could such a tough bug be destroyed?
Yang Tian thought about it and had no choice but to use his last resort, which was the black hole chain.
With a thought, a black hole with a diameter of several meters suddenly appeared around Yang Tian. The black hole emitted a strong attractive force. Although the thousands of bugs flew fast, their strength was not very strong. In a few blinks of an eye, they were all sucked into the black hole and entered Yang Tian’s energy world.
After the thousands of bugs entered Yang Tian’s energy world, they became confused and scattered, flying in all directions.
Coming to the territory that Yang Tian completely controlled, how could Yang Tian let them live? With a thought, the origin energy in the energy world turned into thousands of small azure dragons and swallowed all the purple bugs into their stomachs.
These small azure dragons were all energy bodies controlled by Yang Tian’s will. The purple bugs could not destroy such energy bodies. Under the erosion of origin energy, their bodies began to slowly melt.
When the first purple bug was completely corroded, Yang Tian discovered that these purple bugs indeed did not have spiritual bodies.
Even a tiny ant had a spiritual body, but it was extremely weak. However, there was actually no spiritual body in the body of such a powerful bug.
This was a very unusual thing.
Then, these bugs were very likely to be a kind of… mechanical body that was formed from biological cells!
In his original world, Yang Tian had heard that scientists directly used all kinds of living cells to create living creatures that could move on their own. These creatures were called biological mechanical bodies.
In Yang Tian’s original universe, it was strictly forbidden to create such living creatures. To cultivators, they might not have destructive power, but to most ordinary humans, if these creatures spread.., it would be a disaster.
The apocalyptic world that Yang Tian was born in was most likely caused by this.
To be able to create life forms that were difficult to kill even for cultivators, it was very obvious that the ones who created these insects were powerful cultivators or other highly intelligent life forms.
Yang Tian already hated the sacrificial cauldron to the extreme. Now that he had encountered this life form, it made him hate the person who built this place even more.
If an intelligent life form with abilities abused their abilities, it would be a devastating disaster for the weak.
At this moment, Yang Tian finally understood what the mysterious black-robed elder was doing.
Perhaps their group’s existence was to eliminate the ‘inequality’in this great world and prevent the world order from going out of control.
“Yang Tian, what exactly are these bugs?”
Li Nan’s voice suddenly sounded.
Yang Tian returned to his senses and discovered that Li Nan and his three subordinates had already arrived at the side.
Li Nan and the others who were at the edge of the yellow fog saw the situation clearly. These purple bugs were too strange. If Yang Tian had not eliminated them, they would only be able to hide in the yellow fog and not be able to leave.
“These bugs were created…”
Yang Tian could only answer Li Nan’s question in such a simple manner.
The purple cauldron was still as sturdy as the four cauldrons. There were many scratches, claw marks, and weapon marks on the cauldron. In addition, there were a large number of beast bones around it, and there was even a human skeleton, this made Yang Tian guess that they might not be the first batch of people to come here.
From the looks of it, those people from before were at their wits’end, and they were frenziedly attacking the purple cauldron. In the end, the Purple Cauldron was fine, but it triggered the mechanism of the great formation. In the end, the cultivators who came here, as well as the powerful beast clan.., all died here..
The surface of the four cauldrons from before did not show any signs of cleaving, and the dragon bones in the cauldron were still intact. As Yang Tian had expected, when he jumped onto the purple cauldron, he saw that there were indeed no dragon bones in the cauldron, there were only a few bone powder.
With the fifth cauldron, the route calculated by the strange program was even more complete.
There were still four cauldrons that were not seen, but the figure had already formed a nearly complete figure.
The Five Cauldrons had just formed a circle.
Looking at the distance between the Five Cauldrons, the strange program calculated that there were eight cauldrons in the outer circle. The ninth cauldron was most likely at the center. And this cauldron was most likely… the five-colored cauldron.
Yang Tian decided to head straight for the five-colored cauldron.
Because the five-colored cauldron was most likely the center of this array.
The program quickly calculated the route to the center.
Following that, Yang Tian used the world leaves to open a path like before.
After more than an hour, Yang Tian, Li Nan, and the others walked out of the yellow fog, and their eyes lit up.
What appeared before their eyes was a vast plain.
It could also be said to be a grassland.
On the ground, there were no longer yellow bricks, but lush green grass and sparse, fluorescent short trees.
Seeing such an environment, Li Nan and his three subordinates were pleasantly surprised.
A place where plants grew was definitely suitable for human survival. This was because plants needed water and all kinds of nutrients. The more types of plants there were, the more livable the environment was.
Li Nan and the others looked at the grass under their feet. There were no less than ten types.
“This… is really a good place!”
After being stunned for a long time, Li Nan finally let out a sigh.
Yang Tian smiled and said, “It’s not certain whether it’s a good place or not! This place isn’t even the five-colored cauldron yet. We’ll know when the time comes.”
Yang Tian’s words made Li Nan and the others calm down. Recalling their previous experiences, they remembered that this was actually a strange and dangerous place.
If it wasn’t for Yang Tian’s arrival this time, it was very likely that they would still be trapped in the yellow fog.
If they encountered beast bones in the yellow fog, perhaps even their spiritual bodies would be devoured.
At this moment, the general picture of the island appeared in Yang Tian’s mind.
At the edge of the island was a circle of yellow fog. There were eight cauldrons in the yellow fog. With the Cauldrons as the center, there was a large open area without yellow fog. At the center of the island was the largest open grassland.
..
After walking into the grassland and walking through the short trees for about five to six hours, finally, a huge yellow smoke pillar that extended to a thousand meters above their heads appeared in Yang Tian and the others’eyes.
“What is that?”
Li Nan could not help but exclaim in surprise when he saw the huge pillar of smoke in front of him.
When he saw the yellow pillar of smoke, Yang Tian knew that they had finally arrived at the place they were about to reach. He smiled and said, “Now I know how the Yellow Mist was created.”
After saying that, Yang Tian quickened his pace.
At this moment, the further they walked, the more sparse the grass on the ground became. In the end, it was all a stretch of yellow sand.
Although they saw the yellow pillar of smoke, Yang Tian and the others still walked for about half an hour until they reached a huge yellow sand dune that was 100 meters tall. Only then did they see the situation in front of them clearly.
In front of them, surrounded by the surrounding sand balls, stood a huge cauldron that was 100 meters tall and 100 meters in diameter.
Compared to the five cauldrons that Yang Tian had seen before, this was a true huge cauldron.
A huge yellow pillar of smoke was constantly rushing out of the giant cauldron. It spread out in all directions from a thousand meters high in the air.
From Afar, the body of the giant cauldron seemed to be pieced together by fragments of color. It was as if it was covered in a kasaya.
Seeing this situation, Yang Tian only regained his senses after a long while. He said to Li Nan, who was still in a daze, “Elder Li Nan, since you know about the nine cauldrons sacrifice, do you know what’s Going On?”
Li Nan came back to his senses and shook his head with a frown.
“Then you guys stay here. Little Dragon and I will go take a look.”
After Yang Tian said that, the little azure dragon turned into a huge dragon. Yang Tian immediately jumped onto the back of the Little Azure Dragon. The little azure dragon swung its tail and flew towards the huge cauldron with Yang Tian on its back.
The mystery of this great array was finally about to be solved.
