Chapter 430 Water Yin Formation

Xie Jinhuan may seem crazy, but his superb acting skills have not disappeared.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Jinhuan's face showed a bit of simplicity and honesty. He stared intently at the Empress Dowager in front of him, his eyes filled with admiration that was 'unattainable'. His appearance was exactly the same as it was three years ago in Sancha Forest when he watched Empress Dowager Guo leave with his father.

?

Empress Dowager Guo was indeed touched by Xiao Jinhuan's courage and boldness that day, and when she saw those simple eyes from before he became famous, she was slightly stunned.

Unfortunately, the innocent-looking boy in front of her couldn't hold out for more than three seconds before breaking down and leaning in for a kiss...

"Ah~"

Empress Dowager Guo was speechless. Fortunately, this situation of being stuck with the pest did not last long.

The two had only been running for a short while when Empress Dowager Guo sensed something, abruptly stopped, and looked towards the distant lake...

……

Wow…

The rain poured down, but the lake remained silent.

Dressed in a golden robe with two curved swords hanging from his waist, Chao Chitai sat cross-legged on the lake, carefully sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Since resonating with the origin of heaven and earth, Chao Chitai has clearly felt changes in his body. It seems that his spirit and body are being gradually devoured by heaven and earth and slowly erased from the Five Elements and Three Realms.

However, this process was quite slow, and during the transitional period before he was completely devoured, he could sense the immense power of heaven and earth that was unimaginable to mortals through his partially assimilated body.

Chao Chitai could hardly describe just how powerful it was. In any case, he had only touched a tiny fraction of it, yet he was able to sense, through the boundless water energy, a few mortal ants baring their fangs and claws in the Northern Sea.

Judging from the current progress, the more he is devoured by heaven and earth, the stronger the power of the heavenly Dao he can control will naturally become. However, it seems impossible for him to bestow blessings upon living beings and help the Immortal Ancestor step into the seventh realm.

After all, the spiritual energy required to enter the seventh realm is vast. He himself is only at the fifth realm. Even if he is completely devoured and still retains his self-awareness, he will not be able to mobilize much of the power of heaven and earth.

Moreover, appropriating such exaggerated spiritual energy from the very source of heaven and earth will inevitably cause an imbalance of the five elements, leading to a chain reaction. For example, if water is weak, fire will become strong, causing a severe drought of natural disaster level in the south, rivers will dry up and run dry, vegetation will wither and all things will perish, and so on...

Chao Chitai felt that even without carrying out this action, just thinking about it in his mind would send him to the brink of disaster by both the righteous and the evil.

However, these are all matters for the future. Chao Chitai didn't think much about them at the moment, but simply sat cross-legged on the lake, sensing the condition of the Northern Sea Lake.

After waiting for a long time, a figure flew in from afar and landed nearby.

call……

Chao Chitai opened his eyes and saw the Immortal Ancestor, transformed into a middle-aged cultivator, holding a black sphere in his hand. He turned and asked:

"How many people came?"

Chao Chitai carefully sensed:
"Two waves, one of which is a fiery aura soaring into the sky, just over ten miles away, it should be the Valkyrie; Master Qixia is two hundred miles behind, and will arrive soon."

Having ascertained the true strength of the righteous path a few days prior, Yang Huaxian knew that given the current situation, it was impossible to obtain a phone right under the nose of the Old Demon Qixia. He then looked towards the direction indicated by the Crimson Terrace:

"It's good that you're here. If things go well, we can wipe out half of the righteous path. Even if we can't kill them, you can at least delay them for a while."

Chao Chitai raised his eagle-like head and said incredulously:

"Me? Hold off the Valkyrie and Qixia Zhenren?"

"I will advance and retreat with you, and you are already a demigod, so you won't die so easily."

"..."

Chao Chitai thought this was complete nonsense.

Yang Huaxian sent away his true body, but left an incarnation here. Can that be called advancing and retreating together?

Besides, how skilled is he to fight a doubles match between the Old Demon of Qixia and the Valkyrie? How could he not die easily?

But having already boarded the pirate ship, Chao Chitai had no choice. Besides, he wanted to see just how powerful he currently was, so he said no more, looked up at the boundless rain, and declared loudly:
"Young Master Xie, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Now that you are here, why not show yourself and have a chat?"

His voice was booming and resonant, possessing a certain domineering air.

And then, a familiar, clear voice came from the depths of the rain, as domineering and sharp as ever, but this time, it lacked some of its former gentleness and affability.
"Chao Chitai?! You little bastard! I... Waaah..."

The unrestrained and elegant style of the Great Qian Dynasty, before it could even utter two sentences, was interrupted, seemingly as if someone had covered its mouth… Chao Chitai, who had maintained his composure as a powerful figure, twitched at the corner of his eye upon hearing this torrent of profanity. He glanced at the Immortal Ancestor, his meaning probably being:

Why is he so angry?
He hit me last time! I haven't even yelled at him yet...

Are you doing something unethical by using my name?

……

Yang Huaxian hadn't expected Xie Jinhuan to be so righteous and indignant, and, holding the Xuanwu Divine Gift, he spoke up:
"Fellow Daoist Guo..."

Boom——

Before any polite words could be uttered, the rain began to pour down.

Then, the twelve-foot spearhead, carrying a torrent of flying water, transformed into a hundred-foot-long python, tearing through endless waves and crashing down towards the two of them, accompanied by a shout:
"Die to me..."

"..."

Yang Huaxian opened his mouth, having once dominated the world for three hundred years, and this was truly the first time he had seen such a domineering young man. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand:
"Forget it, let's just do it."

hum-

As soon as he finished speaking, a circular ripple appeared on the lake surface beneath his feet!
The ripples spread outwards, shattering the waves and even breaking the sea dragon, instantly turning the surging lake water into a flat surface, which continued to spread for nearly ten miles in all directions.

From a distance, it looks as if the entire body of water has been instantly frozen. When the dense raindrops fall from the sky, they shatter into pieces when they hit the mirror surface, making a crisp 'crackling' sound!
Xie Jinhuan launched a fierce attack with his spear, but as the impact came, the terrifying force forced the spear to the surface of the lake.

Empress Dowager Guo, who was having a headache over her manic child, flashed forward and used her sword to break through the invisible impact, shielding Xie Jinhuan behind her.

Xie Jinhuan seemed crazy, but he wasn't careless. Seeing that Sister Guo was helping to protect him, he even patted the back of his waist to comfort her.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing."

?

Is that what you call having a sense of propriety?

To prevent the heretics from discovering that she, a dignified Valkyrie, had been touched on the buttocks by a junior, Empress Dowager Guo took a step forward and carefully examined the two figures at the end of her field of vision.

The power of heaven and earth in Beiming Lake is now too strong. Even the Valkyrie and Qixia Zhenren can only use their own strength and cannot draw upon the power of heaven and earth to enhance their power.

At this moment, after Yang Huaxian, who was holding up the divine gift of Xuanwu, flattened the ten miles of waves with one foot, black lines appeared on the smooth lake surface.

The lines spread in all directions, and in an instant, they formed a 'Water Yin Array' covering a radius of ten miles.

This formation appears to be a variant of the 'Swallowing Light and Severing Spirit Formation', containing only the Water and Yin techniques, and its effects are not as comprehensive as the Swallowing Light Formation.

But at this moment, being in the Northern Sea, the world is almost entirely filled with endless water. If one can harness this divine power, the power of this formation would probably be so strong that mortal beings would find it difficult to withstand!
And the facts are not surprising.

As the formation unfolded, the ten-mile-long area was transformed into a giant water prison.

The surrounding temperature began to plummet, not only freezing the water, but approaching the extreme cold where all things wither. Not to mention people, even magical artifacts might lose their effectiveness under the extreme cold.

clack clack...

Xie Jinhuan stood there holding his spear, but in an instant, he found that the spear shaft had lost its flexibility, and his robes had become visibly stiff. If it weren't for his profound cultivation and the divine protection bestowed upon him by Ling Guang, his limbs would probably have been frozen.

Empress Dowager Guo knew that this was because the Chaochi Terrace had come into contact with the origin of heaven and earth and had gained some control over the divine power.

Killing Chao Chitai was easy for her, but confronting Tianwei head-on at Beiming Lake was obviously much more difficult. Realizing that it would be difficult to handle, she wanted to take Xie Jinhuan and Meiqiu and retreat first, waiting for Cong Gao to provide support.

But Yang Huaxian knew he couldn't shake off the righteous path's pursuit. Since he had set up a trap here, he had to trap them and find an opportunity to leave with a chance.

Seeing that the Valkyrie wanted to retreat, Yang Huaxian immediately levitated, using the Chao Chitai as the array's core to connect with heaven and earth, acting as the array master himself, and raised his hand to form a hand seal:

"The source of Ren and Gui, the essence of Xuan water, the icy soul condenses into frost, the snow spirit hides its form, the cold waves are thousands of feet high, freezing and locking away evil spirits..."

Huhu——

As the incantation guided Yang Huaxian's robes to flutter in the wind, a howling gale began to sweep through the Ten-Mile Water Yin Formation...
