Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 243, Nine Li Blood Fiend Array, The Shadow of the Candle Dragon

As the war drums of both sides sounded and the shouts of battle shook the earth, the battle for supremacy quickly entered a fierce stage.

Soldiers charged at each other like a tidal wave, sparks flying from clashing weapons, and blood flowed freely on the ground, turning the originally brown soil dark red.

Just as the situation reached a stalemate, Chi You suddenly raised his head and let out a deafening roar:

"Nine Li Blood Fiend Formation, activate!"

His voice seemed to possess boundless magic, carrying a chilling aura that pierced through the clamor of the battlefield.

As soon as he finished speaking, the eighteen towering golden figures in Chi You's camp instantly stirred.

These golden figures, which already exuded a cold and majestic aura, now shone even brighter, their metallic luster becoming even more dazzling.

Their enormous bodies rose from the ground, moving rapidly through the air, arranging themselves in an extremely mysterious pattern.

In an instant, the weather changed dramatically. The once clear sky was quickly covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, completely blocking out the sunlight.

As the golden figure moved, the ground began to tremble violently, and streams of black earth vein energy surged forth from the depths of the earth.

These malevolent energies, like black dragons, roamed and intertwined among the golden beings, gradually forming a massive blood-red light shield that firmly enveloped Chi You's army and their camp.

Under the glow of the crimson light shield, the entire battlefield was stained with an eerie crimson color, as if one were in the depths of hell.

Yinglong soared freely in the sky, gaining an advantage on the battlefield thanks to his powerful strength and control over the power of heaven and earth.

However, the moment the Nine Li Blood Fiend Array was activated, it felt an unprecedentedly powerful pressure.

The power of heaven and earth, which could originally be easily mobilized, now seemed to be bound by an invisible force, becoming extremely sluggish.

Yinglong tried to break free from this restraint. It flapped its huge wings with all its might, stirring up a gale, trying to blow away the thick dark clouds and the eerie blood-red light shield.

But it was all in vain. Its body was gradually suppressed by the blood-red light shield and began to slowly sink.

A hint of anxiety and resentment flashed in Yinglong's eyes. It let out a series of dragon roars, its voice filled with anger and struggle.

Standing in front of the allied forces, Xuanyuan witnessed this scene and his face instantly turned extremely ugly.

His eyes were wide open, filled with shock and anxiety, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"Chi You actually has such methods! What should we do if Ying Long is defeated?"

His voice trembled slightly with tension and anxiety.

Shennong was equally anxious; his hands were clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

"This Nine Li Blood Fiend Formation is too strange; it can actually suppress a powerful expert like Yinglong. We must find a way to break it, or this battle will be in grave danger!"

He turned to look at Lin Yuan beside him, his eyes full of pleading, as if hoping that Lin Yuan could come up with a solution in this critical moment.

Lin Yuan stood atop the Heavenly Dog, his brows furrowed, his gaze fixed on Yinglong, who was being suppressed by the Blood Fiend Array.

The battle has now reached its most critical moment. If the Nine Li Blood Fiend Formation cannot be broken in time, the allied forces will surely be doomed.

His mind raced, quickly considering all possible solutions.

Although he had previously gained an advantage in many situations by having insight into fragments of future time and space, the time and space of this world was like an incomparably hard rock, and no matter how he explored, he could not get a full view of it.

This scene before him was one he had not seen, and he had no idea how Yinglong had broken the formation and defeated Chiyou.

Where should the turning point be?

Lin Yuan murmured to himself, his brows furrowing into a deep "川" shape.

He knew that the outcome of this battle depended on this one move. If the Blood Fiend Formation could not be broken in time, the allied forces would suffer heavy losses, and the landscape of the Mountain and Sea World would be rewritten as a result.

As he pondered, he gritted his teeth, and his aura suddenly changed, with a powerful and mysterious force surging out from his body.

A flash of light appeared between Lin Yuan's brows, and a heavenly eye emitting a faint glow slowly emerged.

The moment the Heavenly Eye opened, the surrounding space distorted, and endless mysterious runes flickered and leaped around the Heavenly Eye, as if telling the most ancient secrets between heaven and earth.

Lin Yuan concentrated all his energy and probed the Nine Li Blood Fiend Array with the power of his Heavenly Eye without reservation.

In an instant, the battlefield was in turmoil, with howling winds.

Lin Yuan's Heavenly Eye was like an invisible beam of light, piercing through the blood-red light shield and penetrating deep into the core of the Nine Li Blood Fiend Array.

He tried to find a flaw in the formation's internal structure and energy flow, but as time ticked by, half an hour passed and he still found nothing.

The earth vein's malevolent energy within the Blood Fiend Array surged like a dark current, constantly impacting his Heavenly Eye power and putting him under immense pressure.

Just as Lin Yuan was feeling somewhat desperate, a dazzling light suddenly flashed through his mind.

Immediately afterwards, a fragment of a future timeline flashed into the depths of his consciousness like lightning.

In this fragment, he saw himself radiating light, his form gradually becoming ethereal, transforming into a heaven-piercing eye of the Great Dao.

This Eye of the Great Dao hangs high between heaven and earth, radiating boundless majesty and power, and the light emanating from its eye contains the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

Lin Yuan was jolted awake, his previously chaotic thoughts instantly clearing.

He understood that the key to breaking the Nine Li Blood Fiend Formation might lie with him.

Without further hesitation, Lin Yuan immediately circulated his spiritual energy to the fullest extent, determined to reveal his true form.

In an instant, a mysterious flame seemed to ignite around him, and brilliant divine light overflowed. The third eye between his eyebrows, which was already emitting a faint light, shone even brighter at this moment, and the boundless radiance was like a materialized torrent, surging and spreading in all directions.

As his power continued to rise, the surrounding space rippled like a shattered mirror, emitting a hissing sound, as if it could not withstand the immense pressure.

In the blink of an eye, the world changed color, and an ancient and powerful aura spread out.

In the sky, a gigantic vertical eye slowly emerged. This eye was as large as a mountain, with pupils as deep as an abyss, as if it could devour everything in the world.

Mysterious runes flickered at the edges of the vertical eye. These runes, some bright and some dim, faintly exuded the aura of the Great Dao, as if telling all the secrets since the birth of the universe. Before them, all things would have nowhere to hide.

Lin Yuan had thought that in this state he would be able to see through the flaws in the Nine Li Blood Fiend Formation. However, something unexpected happened. Just as the Eye of the Great Dao was fully formed, he suddenly felt a strange and unprecedented connection with Yinglong, who was trapped in the Blood Fiend Formation.

This connection felt like an invisible thread, tightly linking him to Yinglong.

Through this "thread," Lin Yuan could sense Yinglong's anger and struggle.

Yinglong's massive body tumbled and rolled within the Blood Fiend Array, each struggle feeling like a heavy blow to Lin Yuan's heart.

Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield, the innate deity Leize, who had been invited by Shennong, inexplicably resonated with Lin Yuan and Yinglong.

The God of Thunder was surrounded by dense lightning, which faintly outlined his tall and majestic figure.

His eyes gleamed with a mysterious light, facing off against the Great Dao Eye that Lin Yuan had transformed into.

This god of thunder is the son of Zhulong, inheriting Zhulong's powerful strength and mysterious bloodline.

At this moment, he also felt a surge of emotion, realizing the strange connection between himself and Lin Yuan and Ying Long.

This sudden sensation startled Lin Yuan slightly. Although he didn't understand why this was happening, he instinctively realized that this might be the key to breaking the Nine Li Blood Fiend Formation.

Lin Yuan concentrated his mind, trying to explore the secrets of Yinglong and the God of Thunder through this sensation, hoping to find a way to break the formation.

After sensing the connection with Lin Yuan, Yinglong's previously despairing eyes rekindled with hope. It struggled once more, trying to break free from the Blood Fiend Array's restraints with the help of this strange connection.

The God of Thunder's body shone with increasingly dazzling lightning as he moved closer to Lin Yuan and Ying Long, preparing to face this difficult battle together.

As the resonance between Lin Yuan, Ying Long, and the God of Thunder surged like a tidal wave, the atmosphere on the battlefield grew increasingly tense.

The Great Dao Eye that Lin Yuan had transformed into shone brightly, and the mysterious runes seemed to leap and dance as if they were alive.

The God of Thunder roared with lightning, like rolling thunder echoing between heaven and earth. With each step he took, the space beneath his feet was scorched by the lightning, leaving twisted cracks.

At this critical moment, an astonishing change suddenly occurred.

The light of the Great Dao Eye that Lin Yuan had transformed into instantly receded, turning into a dazzling stream of light that sped toward Yinglong at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

At the same time, the God of Thunder also gathered lightning around his body, transforming into a similarly swift stream of lightning, running alongside the stream of light that Lin Yuan had transformed into.

These two streams of light seemed to possess sentience, rushing straight toward Yinglong in the Blood Fiend Array. The crimson light curtain and black fiend energy in the Blood Fiend Array tried to block them, but they were like fragile veils, easily pierced by the streams of light.

In the blink of an eye, two streams of light entered Yinglong's massive body.

In an instant, a terrifying aura capable of destroying the heavens and the earth erupted from Yinglong's body.

The scales, which had been somewhat weakened by the Blood Fiend Array, now stood up and shimmered with dazzling golden light.

Its eyes were like two golden suns, their light shooting straight into the sky. The breath it exhaled was no longer ordinary airflow, but golden flames containing the power of the laws of heaven and earth. Wherever it went, space was scorched and distorted.

The once indestructible Nine Li Blood Fiend Formation trembled violently under the impact of this powerful aura.

The light emanating from the eighteen golden figures began to flicker erratically, and the originally orderly flowing evil energy of the earth veins became chaotic. Spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the blood-red light shield, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Standing within the Blood Fiend Formation, Chi You witnessed this scene firsthand. His face instantly turned deathly pale, and his eyes, once filled with confidence and arrogance, were now brimming with shock and fear.

What's going on?

He couldn't help but gasp in surprise, his voice trembling slightly.

He never imagined that Lin Yuan and the God of Thunder would be able to merge with Yinglong in such a bizarre way, unleashing such unimaginable power.

A sense of foreboding welled up in Chi You's heart.

As Yinglong's aura grew increasingly terrifying, the entire battlefield was enveloped by an invisible, powerful force.

A fierce wind howled, sand and stones flew everywhere, and soldiers were knocked to the ground by the force. The battle between the two sides came to a temporary halt under this overwhelming power. Everyone looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with shock and awe.

Behind Yinglong, space began to distort violently, and mysterious runes appeared like stars. These runes intertwined to form a huge vortex, from which an ancient and powerful aura surged out like a raging tide.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying figure slowly appeared.

The figure resembled a giant snake, but its size far exceeded that of any giant python in the world, its body winding and stretching as if it could span the heavens and the earth.

Each of its scales is like an independent little world, containing endless mysteries of time and space, shimmering with a dazzling and mysterious light.

Sometimes stars twinkle on the scales, sometimes the sun and moon revolve, as if telling all the stories since the birth of the universe.

Its eyes are like two enormous black holes, deep and terrifying, capable of swallowing all light and hope.

In its mouth was a ball of blazing heavenly fire. This heavenly fire was no ordinary flame; its light was dazzling, as if it were the source of all light in the world. The temperature it emitted melted the surrounding space, causing it to ripple and twist.

Everyone stared intently, and an overwhelming sense of horror welled up in their hearts—it was actually the Candle Dragon!

Legend has it that the creator god who separated heaven and earth controlled the alternation of day and night and the changing of the seasons, and possessed terrifying power to destroy the world.

Its appearance caused the entire world to lose its color. The sky, which was originally covered by the Nine Li Blood Fiend Array, was now illuminated by the light of the Candle Dragon, and the dark clouds quickly dissipated like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun.

Yinglong sensed the power of Zhulong behind him, and the power that had been suppressed for a long time while trapped in the Blood Fiend Array completely erupted.

It let out a long roar, its voice resounding through heaven and earth, shaking mountains and rivers. Golden flames burst forth from its mouth and scales, echoing the heavenly fire in the mouth of the Candle Dragon, forming an even more powerful torrent of power that fiercely rushed towards the Nine Li Blood Fiend Array.

Under the impact of this terrifying force, the eighteen golden figures of the Nine Li Blood Fiend Formation shook more and more violently, and the light on their bodies gradually dimmed.

The earth's malevolent energy was shattered and scattered, and the cracks on the blood-red light shield rapidly widened, making a "crackling" sound, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.

"This is the shadow of the Candle Dragon?"

Chi You never expected this.

When Yinglong, the god of Leize, and Erlang Shen from the wilderness of Duguang are combined, they can summon the shadow of the great god Zhulong and unleash the great power of the creator god.

How is this played?
At this moment, Yinglong felt that he was incredibly powerful.

With the combined power of these two forces, he seemed to be able to control the spacetime of this world and reverse everything!
