Chapter 241: The Ten Absolute Formations: The Soul-Falling Formation
Hearing this, Zhang Qianyang said angrily: "So you said you wanted to fight my apprentice alone just to help Xu Du delay time?"
Zhou Laodao said calmly: "I had this idea, but unfortunately I failed in the end. I will not break my promise."
Feeling that he didn't have much time left, he spoke briefly and to the point, telling all the information he had learned in one breath.
"Xu Du was not completely asleep. A part of his consciousness remained awake. After learning about your plan to attack the Yellow Spring Realm, he made two preparations. The first was to let me kill you with the help of the cannon, or try to delay as much as possible if I can't kill you. The second was to recall all the Yellow Spring ghost generals who were fighting outside and station them on the main roads leading to Yinshan Mountain."
"So it's too late. You only have one hour. Can you pass through the blockade of the entire Huangquan Realm and reach Yinshan in this hour?"
"As far as I know, those Yellow Spring Ghost Generals, although not as powerful as Chihu, are no ordinary people. Each of them has magical powers taught by Xudu himself, plus the endless Yellow Spring Ghost Messengers. If the old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain was here, there might still be hope, but it is impossible for you to do it alone!"
"Even if you overcome numerous obstacles and reach Yinshan with difficulty, you still have to face the gatekeeper of the Yangshen Realm, the first ghost general of Huangquan, Chihu. He has an immortal body. Unless you have the Killing Hu Order, it will be impossible to take him down easily."
Taoist Zhou didn't think that they could find the Killing the Hu Order. That thing might have been lost in the long river of history. Whether it still existed or not was another matter. Maybe it had been burned by someone.
"Finally, even if you can really enter Yinshan within an hour and find Xudu's true body, so what? Xudu's immortal body is much stronger than Chihu's, and it has no flaws!"
"Once he wakes up, he will be invincible in the underworld."
After hearing what Zhou Laodao said, everyone fell silent.
Millions of Yin soldiers are blocking the way, and the Yellow Spring ghost generals are trying to stop them. In addition, Chihu and Xudu, two Yang God realm beings with immortal bodies, only have one hour left. Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for Xudu to wake up.
This is almost an impossible thing to accomplish.
But Li Daoxuan did not hesitate at all. He looked at Zhou Laodao with a firm gaze, where only a thin wisp of soul was left.
"I will be kind to Momo, but I will also kill Xudu."
His voice was firm and powerful, without a trace of fear.
Even if the pass is as strong as iron and there are thousands of enemies blocking the way, he will try to break through today.
The souls tortured in the eighteen levels of hell, the old people and children who were turned into food in the ghost town, and Lou Xiaoyun who was tortured to death on the execution ground without revealing any information...
There were also innocent civilians who were brutally murdered in Liling City.
All these reminded him that the Underworld was such a shocking place, a place full of filth and dirt.
Whether it was for the justice in his heart or for the Supreme Golden Elixir, Li Daoxuan understood that he could not retreat and could only fight!
Li Daoxuan turned around and looked at everyone.
They did not show any fear and all nodded slightly to Li Daoxuan.
Xu Qingxuan even exclaimed: "Good boy, you are really becoming more and more to my taste!"
Zhang Qianyang said quickly: "Old man, he is my apprentice, don't let your imagination run wild!"
The others shook their heads and smiled. With the war imminent, they still had the leisure to joke around. It showed that they had already made their decision and were not afraid of danger.
Looking at those people who clearly knew the danger but were still chatting and laughing and heading for dangerous situations, Zhou Laodao was slightly shocked and his expression became more complicated .
He had always looked down upon the monks from these famous sects, thinking that they only knew how to protect themselves, enjoying more resources but not daring to do practical things. But at this moment, he seemed to feel that he was wrong.
"Wait a minute!"
Taoist Zhou stretched out his hand and a stream of light flew towards Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan did not stop him because he did not feel any threat, and the blue dragon tattoo on his back did not get hot, which showed that there was no danger.
The flowing light entered Li Daoxuan's mind. It was a secret method, a secret method of controlling the painful torture.
"I hope you can succeed. In addition, Xu Du's devouring ability has a great side effect. It will make people have many evil thoughts and eventually lose themselves. Perhaps the reason why he fell into weakness is related to this."
Zhou Laodao sighed softly, then looked at Momo with a complicated expression, showing nostalgia, guilt, reluctance, and the love of a grandfather for his granddaughter.
As the man was about to die, he seemed to have gotten rid of the side effects of the secret devouring technique and recovered his natural kindness.
"Momo, can you let grandpa hug you again?"
She remained silent and continued to hide behind Liu Bihen. She was deeply impressed by the way Zhou Laodao had strangled her neck before.
Taoist Zhou did not say anything else, but just stared at Mo Mo. After a breath, his soul completely dissipated.
The wind was rustling and the peach branches were dancing lightly. There was no longer any Zhou Qi in this world. Everything he had disappeared in Mount Dushuo and he didn't even have the chance to reincarnate.
Scared to death.
The next moment, the "Book of Exorcising Demons" in Li Daoxuan's mind shone brightly, and lines of golden ancient seal characters emerged.
"In May of the second year of Zhenguan, I killed the demon Zhou Qi at Dushuo Mountain in Huangquan Realm and was rewarded with the [Soul-Falling Formation]!"
"The Soul-Falling Formation is one of the Ten Ultimate Formations. It is the magic formation of Yao Bin Tianjun of Jin'ao Island. It once displayed its divine power during the Conferred God Celebration, killing Jiang Ziya with a curse, repelling Chi Jingzi, and taking away the Tai Chi Diagram. It is an extremely fierce formation!"
After seeing the introduction in the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Book, Li Daoxuan was stunned and felt shocked.
Is this... a critical hit?
It turned out to be the legendary Soul-Falling Formation!
Li Daoxuan, who had read "The Investiture of the Gods", naturally understood how powerful this formation was. It was no exaggeration to say that apart from the Seven Arrows Book that cursed and killed the Golden Immortal Zhao Gongming, the Soul-Falling Formation was probably the most famous of the curse-killing techniques.
When King Wu was attacking King Zhou, he appointed Jiang Ziya as his military advisor, and with the help of various gods, he was able to overcome all obstacles and win every battle.
The Ten Absolute Formations caused Jiang Ziya to suffer greatly and cost the lives of many of his subordinates. It even cost him his life at one point.
What caused Jiang Ziya to lose his life was the Soul-Falling Formation among the Ten Absolute Formations.
At that time, Yao Tianjun built a high platform in the formation, and placed a straw man on the platform with the name "Jiang Shang" written on it. There were ten lamps lit on the straw man, three on the head were soul-urging lamps, and seven under the feet were spirit-stimulating lamps, to urge his soul and spirit.
People have three souls and six spirits. It is difficult to be without any one of them. Otherwise, one will either be stupid or foolish, or suffer from strange diseases . In any case, there will be something wrong with one's character.
Yao Tianjun held a sword and let his hair down and worshipped the straw man every day. After three or four days, Jiang Ziya began to become irritable. After seven or eight days, Jiang Ziya started to do things incoherently. After fourteen or fifteen days, Jiang Ziya's soul left his body and he died.
Later, Chi Jing|zi tried to rescue Jiang Ziya's soul, but was scared away by the Soul-Falling Formation. Later, he borrowed the Tai Chi diagram from the saint and finally rescued Jiang Ziya's soul. However, because he was afraid of the Soul-Falling Formation, he panicked and let the Tai Chi diagram be taken away by Yao Tianjun.
Although there was a lot of luck involved in taking away the saint's magic weapon, the terrifying nature of the Soul-Falling Formation can still be seen.
After a few breaths, Li Daoxuan had already learned all the experience about setting up the Soul-Falling Formation, and he felt even more the horror of this vicious formation.
Of course, an array is just an array after all. The reason why the Soul-Falling Array was able to kill so many people back then was also related to Yao Tianjun's high level of cultivation. With Li Daoxuan's current realm, if he cursed someone who was far more advanced than him, he would only suffer backlash like Zhou Laodao, and be seriously injured or even killed.
It's a pity that he got this formation too late, otherwise it would be a good idea to teach it to the Queen and let her curse Xu Du.
