Chapter 827 Hidden Murderous Plans Amidst the Sky and Sun

Having made up his mind to feign weakness to the enemy, the Fu family patriarch did everything in his power in this matter.

It all started when Yue Hanzhang first saw the familiar cloud and mist talisman array.

After that, the true yang sun, transformed from the furnace of nine dragons and thunder, surged forward.

All the runes that appeared in the path of the thunder and fireworks were runes that Yue Hanzhang had encountered before, as well as variants of such runes.

The Fu family patriarch was doing everything he could to create the illusion that he had run out of ideas.

But here's the thing.

They went too far.

He had memorized every single cloud and rosy array within the vortex of his previous attacks without missing a single detail.

therefore.

Among the subsequent massive collapse of crimson clouds, not a single cloud formation possessed any originality.

Did the Fu family patriarch really leave no backup plan?

This is contrary to the common sense of the way of attack and killing.

At this point.

Let alone that they already had a plan in mind.

Even without the assistance of a mechanical brain, Yue Hanzhang had already clearly seen through the deception of this desperate situation.

This also made Yue Hanzhang realize something.

The Fu family patriarch, having exerted too much force, had lost all sense of reason and thoroughness during the attack.

This is someone who can't even make the most accurate judgment in the blink of an eye!

Having grasped this point.

Yue Hanzhang subtly maintained the forward rolling process of his True Yang Great Sun.

but.

The six external avatars continued to swirl and destroy the clouds.

The vast amount of Daoist power was transformed into pure and clear lightning and flames through the [Devouring Essence] scripture.

A portion of it was used to further expand the True Yang Great Sun itself and to unleash the power of thunder and fire.

However, a portion of their power was still quietly "hidden" by Yue Hanzhang.

During this process, Yue Hanzhang even used the "Record of Returning to Truth and Emptiness" as a cover.

The hidden power of thunder and fire was still enveloped by some kind of mutated Nine Refinement Rune Array, which continuously condensed and repeatedly forged the surging and intense energy at the center of the thunder and fire furnace!
Regardless of whether there were any flaws in the process by which the Fu family patriarch feigned weakness to the enemy.

But Yue Hanzhang had already chosen to play along.

So when he got close enough to the Fu family patriarch to be within a certain distance.

They will surely face the deadly move that the Fu family patriarch had planned.

That must be an even more terrifying aura than the thunderous outburst of the Fu family patriarch just now.

Regardless of what Yue Hanzhang intends to do next.

The prerequisite is to withstand or neutralize this deadly attack.

Nearly.

closer.

The process of a massive number of similar rune arrays emerging and collapsing is indeed full of "efficiency".

The entire Supreme Furnace was advancing rapidly within the Dao Lord's Domain in a manner that appeared slow but was actually fast.

therefore.

In reality, it was only a matter of a few breaths.

When the sound that Yue Hanzhang had made using the illusion technique was still echoing in the churning clouds of the Dao Lord's domain, the lingering resonance of the sound was still reverberating.

Yue Hanzhang was already standing halfway along the route from where he had previously met the Fu family patriarch.

"This is the moment!"

Suddenly.

In a fleeting moment, almost instinctively, such a thought arose in Yue Hanzhang's mind.

Just as the lightning and flames that burst forth in the previous instant were shattering the massive cloud and rosy array that had surged forth earlier, one after another, using methods that could even be described as "familiar" with them.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence.

Ninety percent of the surging cloud-like rune arrays were variants of rune arrays that had already appeared in the world.

Their original rune arrays had also shattered into fragments of clouds and collapsed during Yue Hanzhang's thunder and fire attack.

However, it is not one of those talisman arrays that Yue Hanzhang once used to directly dissolve into energy clusters of Yin and Yang rhythms through the methods of mutual generation and restraint.

That's why.

As Yue Hanzhang followed almost entirely the same line of thought to dissolve the cloud and mist talisman array within the vortex,

It remained smooth and efficient, yet suddenly burst forth in large swaths of clouds, and fragments of the rune array were in the process of collapsing.

then.

next moment.

The old and angry voice of the Fu family patriarch resounded like a magnificent heavenly sound.

"Is this all I have to say?"

"Young man! You're blinded by a leaf, unable to see the mountain!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

boom--

Just like the thunderous outburst of the Fu family patriarch just now.

A massive amount of clouds swept in with unprecedented intensity.

Amidst the interwoven beams of light, the details perceived by the [Eye of Myriad Phenomena], though no longer clear, all revealed that these cloud-like rune arrays were all unfamiliar, never before displayed!

Watching.

A destructive storm, just like before, is brewing and about to erupt in an instant.

But then.

Yue Hanzhang sensed a chilling aura brewing even stronger! It was about to erupt!
These entirely new and unfamiliar rune arrays were not chosen arbitrarily by the ancestor of the rune family.

There is a certain invisible rhythmic resonance between the rune arrays.

This array of runes, which was like a unified whole, resonated with the rune arrays of those alien variants that had previously collapsed into fragments.

The storm has grown even larger!
Destruction upon destruction!

This was the first time. The sheer volume of energy, combined with the profound and subtle workings of Daoist techniques, had exceeded Yue Hanzhang's limits, fueled by a pure aura of destruction.

This was the signature move that the former patriarch of the Fu family relied on to become famous before he reached the pinnacle. It was the pinnacle of the Taoist techniques he had painstakingly developed before he could defeat ten opponents with sheer force!

The very first moment that such a devastating storm swept in.

Within those eighty-one dragon-shaped furnaces, one of the dragon-shaped furnaces, currently responsible for releasing thunder and fire energy outwards, had half of its body instantly ground away.

Fortunately, Yue Hanzhang's sharp reflexes were still effective.

At that moment, the eighty-one dragon forms began to swirl and spin wildly on their own. In an instant, several dragon forms appeared one after another at the places where the storm's destructive energy struck and erupted.

Each dragon image was damaged, but was replaced before it completely collapsed.

Followed by.

A large amount of lightning and fire power was extracted from the furnace.

In an instant, those layers returned to their original state, restoring the complete framework of the Supreme Furnace.

And at the same time.

In the tiny gaps created by the collision between the swirling clouds and the dragon-shaped furnace.

The Sumeru Crack was being propped open with great difficulty.

In the blink of an eye, upon careful sensing, one can perceive two Daoist auras that originate from the same source, mutually reinforcing each other, yet are completely different, from the process of the Sumeru Crack opening.

This is Yue Hanzhang actively operating the "Step to Emptiness True Scripture," working together with his external avatar that uses the "Nine Palaces Change of Form" as its sole true seal.

Only in this way can the Sumeru Crack be barely stretched open.

Then, in the next instant, a massive amount of lightning and flames poured out wildly from the Sumeru Crack.

Also revealed was the external avatar with the inscription "Six Harmonies Cloud Robe" as its sole true seal.

The supreme Daoist essence, which allows the body and spirit to interact with the heavens and earth, enables this external avatar to painstakingly capture a portion of the cloud and rosy array, as well as some key points of the storm itself, even amidst such a severe destructive storm.

Immediately afterwards, the divine thought of the external avatar anchored itself.

Thunder and fireworks burst forth from the sky, moving at will, and suddenly struck these strategic points.

After weathering the first moment of such an unprecedented and turbulent storm, Yue Hanzhang was already plotting a counterattack with all his might!

but.

As if he had planned this for a long time, the Fu family patriarch's skills, which he had honed to perfection in the past, now had even richer variations!
The next moment.

The unified Daoist rhythm that permeated all the talisman arrays then erupted with a savage and domineering aura that resonated with the violent surge of power itself!
The collapse of those strategic points was, at this moment, controlled and dominated by this savage aura.

In an instant, it became the sharpest spearhead of this destructive storm!

boom--

moment.

Most of the Sumeru passages surrounding the furnace were forcibly destroyed at this moment.

Even Yue Hanzhang's external avatar, the [Six Harmonies Cloud Robe], was unable to complete the transformation between reality and illusion before being directly submerged in the storm, its form turning into dust.

The collapse of the external avatar further amplified the destructive rune array power that impacted the supreme furnace.

Almost instantly, most of the bodies of the twenty-odd dragon-like figures crumbled away.

the first time.

The violently shaking Supreme Furnace presented a scene of precarious collapse.

Even the fleeting glimpse of Yue Hanzhang's true form, standing in the Supreme Furnace with a deathly pale face, was clearly seen by everyone.

However, it seems that it was precisely in this instant that the foundation of his Taoist magic was clearly damaged, which further provoked Yue Hanzhang to resist even more fiercely.

and.

It was clear that Yue Hanzhang had changed his approach.

He no longer sought to counter the entire destructive storm.

The sheer power and scale of the Inner Realm Dao Lord's pure energy level were something that he could not contend with through his utmost thought and talent.

He chose to "break through"!
He chose to "break out" towards the place where the Fu family patriarch stood!
In an instant.

Numerous Sumeru passages were forcibly opened again.

Immediately afterwards, the great sun, which had shone brightly from beginning to end, dimmed intensely at a certain moment.

It was as if all the power of thunder and flames in the entire furnace had been sucked away at that moment.

Then, taking advantage of the opening of the Sumeru Passage, it violently spewed out towards the path Yue Hanzhang had originally taken, and towards the direction of the Fu family patriarch.

Amidst the blazing lightning and bright light, Yue Hanzhang seemed to be exerting all his strength.

The external avatars of [Five Thunderbolts] and [Nine Dragons Suppressing Prison] appeared one after another, and the moment they appeared, their forms collapsed on their own!
This is the beginning of Yue Hanzhang's path to enlightenment, and also the foundation for the power of thunder and flames that he has mastered!

The moment they merged with the Dharma, the torrent of thunder and fire became even more intense.

Then, the external avatar of [All-Seeing Eye] manifested, just like the avatar of [Six Harmonies Cloud Robe] a moment before, anchoring itself to the various barriers of the storm and rune array on the road ahead, establishing a connection of auras.

Beside him, the incarnations of [Nine Palaces Change of Form] and [Three Primal Elements Return to Wonder] appeared at the same time.

Following the aura connection created by the [All-Seeing Eye] incarnation, the [Nine Palaces Change of Forms] incarnation is about to open the Sumeru Passage.

Meanwhile, the [Three Elements Return to Wonder] incarnation is integrating the blazing thunder and fire power that is already surging like a storm, binding it into a line, waiting for the passage to open so that it can be transformed into flying arrows to pierce through them one by one!

But right now.

The old patriarch of the Fu family had a voice full of mirth and amusement.

"Here you go!"

"Boy! After I slay your three avatars, I'll see how your Furnace 'Law Domain' can still generate life!"

"With eighty-one dragon images as your coffin, my child, you have already received the highest honors!"

While talking.

Amidst the swirling clouds and storm.

All destructive power condensed in an instant, transforming into a sky-covering handprint, which was about to strike the three figures on the torrent of thunder and fire poured out by Yue Hanzhang.

And at that very moment.

Yue Hanzhang suddenly stood above the Supreme Furnace.

He also looked at the Fu family patriarch with a mocking expression.

"Who said I'm the original?"

The Daoist rhyme of "The Record of Returning to Truth and Emptiness" has dissipated.

The form of 【Three Elements Return to Wonder】 stood on the furnace and collapsed on its own. As the rain of light fell, the furnace, which had been extremely dim, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly bright and intense light!
That was the power of thunder and fire that Yue Hanzhang had hidden and refined to the extreme.

The collapsing aura instantly enveloped this ball of thunder and fire power.

boom--
