Chapter 336: Zhenbei Movement (3)
The majestic military formation slowly approached.
Nearly a hundred miles away from Xiyun City, the fire dragons hovering above the army formation were released into the sky, roasting the water vapor from the surrounding rivers and streams, and soon fish-eye bubbles appeared, boiling with a gurgling sound.
Countless fish, shrimps and turtles suffered the disaster and were cooked till soft in the boiling river water. The aroma of fresh river food wafted in the air within a hundred miles.
The mountains and forests were scorched by the high temperature, and raging fires broke out in many places. Black smoke rose into the sky, and then the flames burned the sky red.
The temperature around Xiyun City rose sharply, and the people in the city were sweating profusely in just a few breaths.
Jiang Yuan raised his right hand, pausing the approach of the army. He pressed his hand against the golden pagoda and shouted at Lu Yi who was standing on the top of the mountain: "You thief bald... No matter who is behind you, if you dare to offend the majesty of Yan Dynasty and provoke my Jiang family, you are all dead."
"Kneel down and tell the people behind you clearly. I will let you die more easily."
"Where is Qingyun King Zhu Zizhen? Get out here... You must give me an explanation for the death of my beloved son... Otherwise, don't blame me for being cruel and turning the entire Xiyun City into ashes."
Yan Dynasty, as the name suggests, was founded on the principle of "fire".
Whether it was the Yan Dynasty royal family or other large families, most of them practiced fire-attributed techniques. Using military formations to turn a country or a city into ashes was their usual means of attack.
Lu Yi looked at the arrogant Jiang Yuan and narrowed his eyes.
He really wanted to put on the diamond armor, hold the diamond spear, and attack Jiang Yuan's army formation head-on - the three-eyed god-man picture shook slightly, and he instinctively sensed that this army formation did not pose any pressure to him.
As long as he wanted, he could easily break through this army of hundreds of thousands of people.
However, as the image of the three-eyed god in his mind glowed, Lu Yi felt another impulse in his heart.
Ever since he embarked on the path of cultivation, it seemed that he had been acting recklessly... In the previous Furnace Realm and Fiery Fire Realm, it was reasonable for him to do so , but when he reached the realm of planting golden lotus, he needed to comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth.
Now that I have reached the stage where the golden lotus has blossomed, the comprehension of the great Dao is even more important.
Of course, simply rushing forward is not a bad thing - Lu Yi obtained a seed of power from the three-eyed god's mount, the golden-tusked holy elephant. That kind of pure, absolute, and extremely powerful supreme power is a very good future even if he rushes forward all the way.
But Lu Yi is a practitioner with great aspirations.
Looking at the huge military formation that burned the sky and made it distorted and wavy, Lu Yi narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Under the skin, large patches of green wind patterns and blue water patterns flashed by.
Within a radius of 100 miles, in the mountains, valleys, rivers, and even in the smallest cracks on the ground, a chilly breeze rose from the ground. Even though Jiang Yuan's army array had set the area hundreds of miles apart with fireworks rising into the sky, the cool breeze still rose up firmly, wisps after wisp quickly merging into one.
In an instant, a bone-chilling gale rose from the ground, howling across an area of a hundred miles.
The black cold wind rushed straight into the sky with a roar. In an instant, the size of the fire dragons released by Jiang Yuan’s army was reduced by 30%. The raging aura was completely extinguished, and the temperature around them dropped suddenly.
Lu Yi formed seals with his hands and chanted an obscure spell.
This is not any known language, but a kind of natural sound, a kind of whisper, an imitation of the magnificent sound of Tao emitted by heaven and earth when they operate.
The wind patterns and water patterns on Lu Yi's body flickered rapidly, the golden lotus opened up, the contact between the cultivator and the heaven and earth expanded greatly, and Lu Yi's soul and consciousness took the initiative to entangle with Yuan Lingtian's Dao rhyme of heaven and earth.
The Dao rhythm of heaven and earth in Yuanlingtian is slightly different from that in Jishengtian, but the origins of the most basic wind and water avenues are similar, and the difference is only extremely subtle.
Lu Yi's soul and consciousness quickly became entangled with Yuan Lingtian's Dao rhyme of heaven and earth. The tremendous luck from Qingyun Kingdom on his body trembled slightly. Yuan Lingtian's Dao of heaven and earth quickly accepted his identity and his soul.
New insights rapidly spread , and the wind patterns and water patterns on Lu Yi's body began to become more complex, more exquisite, and more colorful.
Large amounts of water mist appeared out of nowhere. Within a radius of hundreds of miles, patches of white water mist were generated out of thin air. At first, it was only a foot high above the ground. In the blink of an eye, it quickly rose to a height of six or seven feet. Then the white mist soared wildly and unscrupulously. In just a few breaths, the white mist rose to a height of a hundred feet.
The black gale pushed the white mist to spin rapidly, and cloud vortices of various sizes appeared in the white mist.
The cloud vortices collided and rubbed against each other, and in an instant countless lightning flashes splashed out, and within a radius of hundreds of miles, dense thunder roared. At first the sound was very small, but gradually it became louder and louder, and each thunder shook the earth and mountains, frightened people so much that their souls trembled and their internal organs turned upside down.
The three girls, Qingyou, stood behind Lu Yi, staring in amazement at him performing his magical powers.
Qing You hurriedly took out the manuscript handed down by her ancestor, flipped through the thick manuscript again and again, and then muttered: "The magic power covers hundreds of miles...causing changes in the celestial phenomena...this is a method that only the powerful who have condensed the Dao Fruit can use!"
If he was not mistaken , Lu Yu was only at the Golden Lotus Awakening stage, but the magic he cast could actually cause changes in the celestial phenomena that could only be caused by those at the Condensation Fruit stage... Qingyou took a deep breath and clenched his fists tightly - he had to intensify his own cultivation, and he absolutely could not follow Qingning and Qingmeng in eating and drinking!
Qingyou glanced at her two younger sisters with resentment.
It was these two foodies who slacked off and lagged behind in their cultivation, and were left far behind by Lu Yi.
Qingning and Qingmeng had no idea of their sister's psychological changes, they just stared with their eyes wide open and kept exclaiming "How amazing!"
"rain!"
Lu Yi waved his hand, and suddenly white fog within a radius of hundreds of miles rose into the sky. Countless cloud vortices gradually darkened in color, from white to gray, from gray to black, and finally the white fog turned into dark clouds.
In the cloud vortices of varying sizes, lightning flashed, and then heavy rain poured down from the sky.
'Crash!'
The bitingly cold raindrops fell on Jiang Yuan's army formation in large flakes. The fire dragons above the army formation roared angrily. The raindrops and the fire dragons collided with each other. Large amounts of steam filled the void, making the dark clouds more powerful.
Lu Yu chanted the secret spell in a low voice, and the spell became more and more mysterious and difficult to understand.
The raindrops falling from the sky were getting bigger and bigger, and their speed was getting faster and faster. The surface of the raindrops falling straight down was wrapped with a thin layer of turbulent wind, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. These raindrops were like arrows shot from a strong bow and hard crossbow, falling on Jiang Yuan's army with a "whoosh" sound.
There was a red light lingering in the sky above Jiang Yuan’s army. Raindrops hit the red light, creating ripples.
At first the ripples were only the size of a palm. As the speed of the raindrops increased, the force contained in them became stronger and stronger, the size of the raindrops also increased, and the ripples quickly increased to several feet in radius.
At this time, the impact on the entire army was extremely terrifying. Many soldiers were trembling all over, and they seemed unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure.
Gradually, the falling raindrops began to spin rapidly with the wind, and the round raindrops gradually stretched into a more penetrating shuttle shape.
The speed of the raindrops' rotation is getting faster and faster, and their penetrating power is getting stronger and stronger. The area of the ripples is much smaller, but the depth of penetration of each raindrop in the red light is constantly increasing.
More than a hundred fire dragons were beaten to the point of losing all their arrogance and their sizes were shrinking continuously.
Jiang Yuan only felt that the golden tower was shaking violently. It became increasingly difficult for him to control the military formation. Especially as he was the hub of the entire formation, he bore the terrible impact of the wind and rain. His body seemed to be electrocuted. Every time he flicked his fingers, he was shaking violently. The frequency of his shaking reached thousands of times in a fingertip, and then tens of thousands of times...
The high-frequency trembling of his body alone put Jiang Yuan's bones, muscles, and even his internal organs under extremely terrible pressure... He felt intense tearing pain all over his body, especially his hard bones, which began to beat and vibrate with the high-frequency vibration...
Lu Yi chuckled and changed his hand seals, and then more water mist rose from the ground and quickly turned into dark clouds.
Then, not only did heavy rain fall from the sky.
On all sides of the military formation, and even below the military formation, there were countless spindle-shaped raindrops as thick as fists and more than a foot long, spinning rapidly and whizzing towards the military formation at a terrifying speed.
The impact pressure that Jiang Yuan's army formation was bearing increased by more than ten times in an instant.
As Lu Yi continued to chant the secret spell, the raindrops also underwent strange changes.
Some raindrops were getting faster and faster, some were spinning faster and faster, some had thunder beating inside them, and some were spinning at high speed, rapidly transforming into hard shuttle-shaped ice cones and charging forward...
Gradually, more raindrops turned into icy texture, and their shapes changed from shuttles to knives, swords, needles, arrows, scimitars... and even spears, maces, battering rams and other shapes.
Every change brought a terrifying impact to Jiang Yuan’s army.
In the army formation, a small number of soldiers had already vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, and some were frostbitten. Many of their limbs were frozen into ice and then exploded into pieces in the violent impact.
Gradually, Lu Yi's torrential attacks became more and more unreasonable.
Before, it was just raindrops flying around randomly, but now, ice wolves, ice birds, ice dragons, and ice tigers made of ice appeared as if they were living creatures. Ice creatures with bodies several feet or dozens of feet long rushed out from all directions, destroying the fire dragons released by the golden pagoda. The fire dragons kept collapsing and extinguishing.
A cup of tea later, above the heads of the struggling Jiang Yuan and others, an ice city with a city structure almost identical to that of Xiyun City and a similar size appeared out of thin air, and with a terrible whistle, it slammed heavily on Jiang Yuan's army.
The fire dragon released by the golden pagoda was annihilated in an instant, and the golden pagoda, which was more than two hundred feet high, shrank back to about ten feet. The golden pagoda was no longer bright, and its surface was covered with a thin layer of frost.
Jiang Yuan, who was controlling the formation, spat out blood as did hundreds of thousands of his soldiers. They were all frozen to a pale color and their vitality was severely damaged.
