Longzang

Chapter 281 Spitting at You
Wei Yuan was naturally not happy to be spat on by the monster for no reason. Since he couldn't find any trace of the monster, he could only vent his anger by killing the sand wolf.

Another torrent of black water fell from the sky, plunging into the vast land and leaving behind a hundred miles of scorched earth.

Now, the area around Jade Mountain in the vast landscape is teeming with life, and the ground has mostly turned into fertile soil, but it is only about ten miles in circumference. Compared to the vast landscape, it is just a tiny speck, and hitting it would probably require some luck.

Clearly, luck is on Wei Yuan's side now.

Despite being poisoned twice, Wei Yuan remained unaffected. He only experienced a sharp pain in his head.

The venom that directly targeted the Dao Foundation Dharma Form seemed to have consumed a considerable amount of energy; the monster spat out two mouthfuls and then stopped. Wei Yuan, however, felt a chill run down his spine. If it wasn't with him, did it go to someone else?
It seems that apart from Ji Liuli and Yu Zhizhuo, no one else could withstand the monster's venom. If his own Dao Foundation cultivators were also scattered, they would probably have difficulty protecting themselves, and if they encountered the monster, they would only end up as food to replenish their strength.

We must break through their formation as soon as possible!
Fortunately, the formation had been abandoned for a long time, and the monster didn't seem to be someone capable of controlling it, so many of the formation's signature killing moves weren't used. Wei Yuan recalled the knowledge he had gained from learning formations; to break this formation, he would have to exhaust the opponent's resources. The only other options were either methods at the Dharma Aspect level or higher, or the presence of a formation genius like Ji Liuli with Dharma Aspect cultivation.

It seems we can only rely on attrition. Fortunately, the cave is shattered, the great formation has lost its spiritual energy replenishment, and much of the spiritual energy accumulated over the years has been depleted, so there is still hope.

A dazzling halo erupted before Wei Yuan, and a jet of water, carrying shards of golden light, shot forth, instantly turning the two sand wolves that couldn't dodge in time into a bloody mist. The water then struck the cliff face, sending rocks flying and creating a large hole that visibly sank deeper into the rock.

The water jets moved rather clumsily, and the sand wolves, agile and nimble, mostly dodged them. However, while the sand wolves could dodge, the mountain walls could not. Destroying the scene also meant destroying the formation. In the past, when teaching this in class, the teacher had mentioned that if one possessed the cultivation of a True Monarch, a single full-force palm strike could destroy more than a dozen small worlds. Thus, a dozen or so palm strikes could break the entire formation, which was the fastest method.

Although Wei Yuan's Golden Light Water Blade Technique is not agile, it is extremely powerful, possessing the strength of a Dharma Avatar strike, making it perfect for destroying the scene within the formation.

The sand wolves were numerous and intelligent, and were also formed by the formation using a large amount of spiritual energy, so they couldn't be let go. Wei Yuan pointed, and a faceless warrior wielding a sword and shield appeared in front of him. He struck with his shield, directly knocking several sand wolves away. The blade on the shield pierced several horrific wounds into the sand wolves, and seeing that they were beyond saving, they turned into light and disappeared after landing.

Seeing that the method was effective, Wei Yuan waved his hand and conjured dozens more faceless warriors. These warriors held a square cauldron as a shield in one hand and a white silk immortal sword in the other, and all of them had the combat power of the Dao Foundation stage.

Dozens of faceless warriors appeared and began a bloodbath, showing no fear of injury, quickly turning the sand wolves into a carnage. While the sand wolves were numerous, the faceless warriors were also plentiful. Initially, they fought individually, but as Wei Yuan's control improved, they gradually began to coordinate. This made the slaughter even faster.

At this moment, the Golden Light Water Blade Technique continued its horizontal movement without pause, carving a deep trench several feet deep and ten feet wide into the cliff face. The cliff, unable to support its own weight, began to collapse in large sections.

During this time, Wei Yuan followed Yu Zhizhuo to dig the ground every day and learned a lot about the properties of materials. This cliff face was obviously weathered for a long time, both loose and brittle, and extremely easy to damage.

The world within the formation doesn't arise from nothing; it generally follows existing rules of nature to function smoothly. Since this cliff also follows the properties of nature, it's under Wei Yuan's control. Having made a good start, Wei Yuan's spirits lifted, and he turned to destroy the other side of the cliff.

As one side of the mountain wall collapsed, Wei Yuan felt the spiritual energy in this small world drop by 30%. Even after the faceless warrior killed over a hundred sand wolves, the spiritual energy only dropped by half a percent.

A moment later, the other side of the mountain wall collapsed, and the small world was already on the verge of collapse. Wei Yuan carefully examined the rock vein patterns exposed after the mountain wall crumbled, and the Golden Light Water Blade Technique reappeared, digging a deep hole at several points.

The small world shook violently in an instant, and the mountain wall collapsed with several times the force of before. This time, the entire wall slid down, displaying a power that rivaled that of heaven and earth!

This small world shattered, and Wei Yuan couldn't even see where the array's core was. It must have been hidden somewhere inside the mountain wall, collapsing along with it.

The next little world was surprisingly filled with a solitary peak standing in the center!
So Wei Yuan directed the faceless warriors to kill the guards while circling halfway around the solitary peak. Moments later, the peak collapsed with a roar, shattering the small world, but Wei Yuan still couldn't see the array's core.

The third small area had turned into a poisonous swamp, and Wei Yuan's good luck seemed to have finally run out. Everywhere was muddy and swampy, with a thin mist hanging over the ground, clearly indicating that everything was highly poisonous. Then, countless figures emerged from the surrounding mist: swamp crocodiles and giant lizards common in swamps, as well as heavily armored warriors. In the depths of the distant swamp, a powerful aura lingered.

Clearly, this world didn't want Wei Yuan to continue causing destruction; the monster had already been somewhat frightened by Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan sneered inwardly. Who said swamps couldn't be dug? In Yu Zhizhuo's eyes, any ground could be dug, even lava quicksand. The method was simple: just reverse the reinforcement of the mine tunnel. Swamps often had underground currents, which would save Wei Yuan a lot of effort.

Moments later, the swamp trembled, the ground suddenly began to sink, and the accumulated water leaked into the ground, leaving behind a muddy mess where countless fish and shrimp rolled around.

This world shattered immediately. The powerful aura in the distance might be the core of the formation, but Wei Yuan couldn't see it.

In another small world, the forest was lush and green, but now the trees were broken and fallen, as if they had been through a storm. Above the trees, a nine-tiered pagoda shone brightly, while below, golden light lingered, indicating the presence of a demon-suppressing and evil-exorcising barrier.

Countless half-human, half-beast monsters surrounded Ji Liuli, slowly and laboriously moving closer to him. Ji Liuli continuously flicked out bursts of golden light, killing the monsters one by one.

After hundreds of monsters were finally killed, this world was shattered.

In another realm, the forest was exceptionally dense, filled with ancient trees reaching tens of feet in height. Suddenly, a clearing appeared in the dense forest, where not only had the ancient trees vanished, but a giant pit more than ten feet deep had also appeared on the ground.

Zhang Sheng stood in the air, reached out and beckoned, and the immortal sword flew into his brow on its own.

Zhang Sheng stood motionless, and sure enough, the earth shook violently, and the world began to crumble. But then he suddenly coughed violently a few times, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Sheng frowned slightly. This was only the second realm; who knew how many more realms lay ahead? But if they were too slow, the others might be in danger. Especially Wei Yuan; it seemed he had already been targeted by the monster.

In the blink of an eye, the world transformed, and Zhang Sheng found himself in a new realm. Without even considering what world he was in, a celestial sword appeared around him on each side, slowly descending. The countless guards below trembled in fear, unable to move, forced to watch helplessly as the swords landed before losing consciousness.

In the instant the heavens and earth collapsed, a crimson hue seemed to flash by.

When Wei Yuan saw the world unfold before him, he found himself standing on a rocky plain. Countless warriors surrounded him. This place had no other scenery, just rocky ground, clearly intended as a pure battlefield.

But for Wei Yuan, seeing the rocky earth felt more familiar than anything else. People are ignorant; they think all rocks look the same. In reality, rocks come in many varieties, each with different properties and their own geological origins. If you understand these differences well, excavating them won't require much extra effort.

However, creating a rocky world requires far more spiritual energy than a normal world. After calculation, Wei Yuan would rather create several more rocky worlds, as one of them is equivalent to three ordinary worlds.

With a wave of his hand, Wei Yuan deployed faceless warriors to defend the surroundings, and a halo of light bloomed on his hands as he began digging. This time, a trace of the aura of the Crimson Lotus Bodhi was added to the water flow, instantly turning the rocks into something like tofu and mud, creating a sloping hole that quickly descended into the ground.

The monster couldn't stand it any longer and spat at Wei Yuan again.
