Chapter 1328

The moment Fei Zhitu’s jade shovel dug into the soil of the flower bed where the Soul Sword Grass was located, a snow-white halo spread out strangely with the Soul Sword Grass as the center. At the same time, an abnormal energy fluctuation surged around.

With a drastic change in his complexion, Fei Zhitu hastily retreated. The old woman, the old man, and the other Void Return Stage 2 Realm powerhouse also circulated their Saint Yuan simultaneously, enveloping the four Saint King Stage juniors under their protection.

The originally purple and straight as a sword Soul Sword Grass also suddenly distorted at this moment. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared, replaced by endless dazzling lights shooting out in all directions. The lights wriggled and changed, forming clouds of different colors, surrounding everyone.

Two breaths later, the surrounding environment underwent a tremendous change. Looking around, there was no sign of the attic and wing rooms seen before. There was no flower bed, no Soul Sword Grass, and no more of those rare and exotic flowers and plants for viewing. All that could be seen was the empty and chaotic the sky and the eerie and unpredictable earth.

And the position where everyone was now seemed to be standing on the clouds. All around, above and below, left and right, were all those clouds of different colors and sizes. There was nothing else.

“Formation！” Fei Zhitu’s face turned ashen. By this time, how could he not know that the Soul Sword Grass everyone had seen before was just a trap? Once the Soul Sword Grass was touched, this formation would immediately appear and trap people within it.

However, the formation was far more brilliant than everyone had imagined. Among the eight people present, almost no one could see the flaw. Only Yang Kai shouted a reminder at the last moment, but that shout was also a little too late.

Thinking of this, Fei Zhitu looked at Yang Kai suspiciously, as if he didn’t understand how he had seen the flaw. After all, just now, even the four Void Returning Realms hadn’t noticed anything.

Yang Kai naturally knew what he was thinking. Before he could open his mouth to ask, he took the initiative to say, “Junior has a slight understanding of pharmacology. Since the color of the Soul Sword Grass just now was purple, its medicinal age must be very high. At that level, the aroma emitted by the Soul Sword Grass will have a faint spicy feeling, like an invisible sword blade stimulating people’s sense of smell.”

Fei Zhitu’s expression was surprised. He didn’t ask any more questions. Now that this trap had been triggered and they were surrounded by the formation, it was meaningless to ask these questions. He turned his head and looked at Cai He and Du Sisi and asked, “You two are more proficient in the way of formations. Have you seen any clues？”

Since the light burst out from all around and the clouds grew thick, Du Sisi and Cai He has been observing carefully. Hearing this, Du Sisi’s pretty face looked is ugly. She said, “If I’m not mistaken, this should be one of the ancient strange arrays, the split cloud sea array, which is a long-lost array!”

“I also think so！” Cai He nodded beside her, agreeing with Du Sisi’s guess.

“Spectrally Dispersed Cloud Sea Array?” Fei Zhitu exchanged a glance with the other three Void Returning Mirrors, and their faces were blank, if they had never heard of this kind of array. He quickly asked, “Is this array difficult to crack? And what kind of power does it have?

Du Sisi smiled bitterly and said, “Let’s not talk about its cracking method… Let me talk about its formation principle first. Have you seen the clouds around here？”

“Naturally！ These clouds don’t seem to be illusions, nor are they formed by the aggregation of any energy. They are really strange！” The old man Ning Xiangchen nodded and said.

“Because they are all real clouds！” Du Sisi’s words were astonishing.

“What？” Fei Zhitu and the others changed their expressions drastically. “You said they are real clouds？”

That’s right. The reason why the split cloud sea array has been lost is that to set up this kind of array one needs to refine the clouds in the sky. And now the strongest warriors on the You’an Star don’t have this kind of ability, so naturally they can’t set up this array.”

“Refine the clouds in the sky…” Even though Fei Zhitu and the others had seen a lot, they were still shocked by Du Sisi’s statement and couldn’t accept it for a while.

What kind of powerful expert is it? To have such a shocking means that even the clouds in the sky can be refined. This is simply too unbelievable.

Du Sisi ignored their ugly expressions and continued leisurely: “Refining the clouds is just the first step. The person who arranges the formation will fuse various attribute energies in the clouds, and then extract the essence and soul of the beast and integrate them into it so that these originally dead clouds have the effect of changing and attacking. The clouds in the split cloud array can all be transformed into cloud beasts. Youdaoplaceholder0 on the level of the essence and soul of the beast extracted by the person who arranges the formation, the level of the cloud beasts is also different. However, these cloud beasts, regardless of their level, are extremely difficult to be wiped out!

“You mean these things can transform…” Fei Zhitu pointed to the countless clouds of different colors floating around, and his expression was extremely ugly.

There was no need for Du Sisi to answer. When Fei Zhitu asked this question, more than a dozen clouds scattered around the crowd suddenly twisted and wriggled. The next moment, they turned into strange shapes but hideous-looking monsters. However, these cloud beasts did not have a body. They were all composed of clouds but they had integrated a large amount of pure energy and were even stronger than real monsters.

The Divine Consciousness of the crowd swept over the bodies of those Cloud Beasts. After detecting the energy fluctuations emanating from within them, Du Sisi patted her high chest, her pretty face pale and said with a sigh of relief: “It seems we’re quite lucky. These are all only Cloud Beasts with the strength of Rank 8 or 9.”

She couldn’t help but feel relieved. Since this formation was set up in the ancient era, who knew what kind of means the person who arranged it had？ In case there was one or two Rank 10 Cloud Beasts left here, then everyone would have to be buried here.

Even if Fei Zhitu and the others had heaven-defying means, they still couldn’t fight against a Rank 10 Monster Beast. That was equivalent to a Void King Realm powerhouse.

Just having stepped into the ancient ruins, they had fallen into such a formation. The mood of the crowd instantly became heavy, and naturally, they didn’t dare to be the least bit negligent. Fei Zhitu shouted loudly： “Du girl and Cai boy, find a way to break the formation. Leave these Cloud Beasts to us to deal with！”

“Yes!” Cai He and Du Sisi quickly nodded, knowing that it was time for them to play their role. Their spirits immediately cheer up.

Fei Zhitu looked at Yang Kai and the taciturn Lian Guang again： “You two also take care of yourselves. Don’t accidentally fall here.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly, and Lian Guang remained silent. However, he took out some puppets only the size of a palm from his spatial ring. These puppets looked lifelike and were refined quite exquisitely. With a wave of his hand, he scattered these puppets, and then the elements were sent out, accurately pouring into those puppets without the slightest error.

The next moment, these puppets suddenly enlarged, making Yang Kai’s eyes light up in surprise.

This was the first time he had seen someone, and as a Saint King Third-Order martial artist the puppets driven by Lian Guang all emitted energy fluctuations of the Saint King First-Order or Second-Order.

There were probably about five or six of them, with different shapes and sizes. The small ones were like spirit snakes, and the large ones were like houses. Each one seemed to be very useful, and when coordinated, they must have extraordinary power.

Yang Kai immediately understood that the reason why the Lian family had a great reputation and was highly regarded was indeed not in vain. Just with this skill of Lian Guang, he could remain invincible among martial artists of the same level. Even if he encountered a Void Returning Jing powerhouse, he might not necessarily have no chance of escaping for his life.

On the other side, Fei Zhitu had already sacrificed his Blue Jade Bowl. The round bowl suddenly expanded to a size of more than ten zhang in diameter and enveloped the cloud beasts that were eyeing them nearby. Like mercury pouring out, large swathes of blue light surged out from the Blue Jade Bowl, Youdaoplaceholder0 wrap up a ninth-order cloud beast that was showing off its might and hadn’t had time to launch an attack. Then the blue light retracted, ignoring the struggles and howls of the ninth-order cloud beast and taking it into the Blue Jade Bowl as well.

This time, Yang Kai’s expression tightened, and he immediately understood that he had previously underestimated the power of the Blue Jade Bowl.

At the same time, the old man Ning Xiangchen let out a soft whistle, and a secret treasure like a walking stick appeared out of thin air. With a wave of his arm, the walking stick suddenly turned into a sky full of stick shadows and attacked the cloud beasts. Meanwhile, the old woman drove a secret treasure like a net. The large net spread out, emitting dazzling three-color light not only causing the cloud beasts by the light to have a sluggish movement, but also having some ineffable killing effect.

As soon as the few of them made a move, they completely provoked those cloud beasts. The sound of beast roars spread out. Except for the ninth-order cloud beast that had been taken away by the Blue Jade Bowl and still hadn’t been seen, the remaining few all pounced towards this side ferociously. Before the beast shadows arrived, energy beams were sprayed out from their beast mouths, coming towards this side in a blistering manner.

This scene made Fei Zhitu and the others’ complexions change slightly. The Azure Jade Bowl rotated again, and a deep blue light was released from it, enveloping Cai He and Du Sisi within for protection.

“Brother Wen, I leave Du girl and Cai lad to you.” Fei Zhitu left his Azure Jade Bowl behind and, after admonishing the male martial artist at the Void Return 2-layer realm, burst out with majestic Saint Yuan and charged towards the Cloud Beasts.

Ning Xiangchen, holding the cane-like secret treasure, and the old woman followed closely behind. The three of them formed a triangular formation and instantly scattered seven or eight Cloud Beasts in disarray.

And the Void Return Realm powerhouse surnamed Wen stood still in place and shouted coldly at Du Sisi and Cai He, who were standing there stupidly： “Why haven’t you broken the formation yet？”

“Oh!” Cai He and Du Sisi then came back to their senses. The two of them simultaneously took out from their own spaces tools specifically for breaking formations. After infusing Saint Yuan into them, they scattered them around.

Yang Kai took a glance at them and, seeing that they had already begun to study this Light-Splitting Cloud Sea Formation, he finally felt a little relieved.

Having spent a long time with Yang Yan, he naturally knew that the things the two had just scattered were called array plates and array bases. They were not only used when setting up a formation but also when breaking a formation.

Moreover, if such things were refined, even those who were not proficient in formations could use them to set up a formation.

Yang Kai had long wanted to ask Yang Yan to refine several sets of array disks for him, but he had never found the opportunity or time. It seemed that he had to ask her to help him with this after returning this time.

Although the array arranged with array disks does not have as great power as the orthodox array and cannot exert its full strength, it can be recycled. As long as the array disk is not damaged, it can be used infinitely. This is undoubtedly a very good thing for Yang Kai, who often goes out for adventures.
