Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Lin Dong snapped out of his daze and suddenly remembered what Cao Yusheng had shouted when he released the killing formation. He couldn't help but ask, "Third Brother, that fat guy just said that his killing formation was the 'Third Killing Formation.' Does that mean he also has the First and Second Killing Formations in his possession?"

After pondering for a moment, Han Li said, "That's possible. Since he can use the term 'Third Killing Array,' it means that there should be two other killing arrays sealed within him. Of course, it's also possible that he only has this third one, and the first two have already been used or have not yet been mastered. However, judging from the composure he showed when he released the killing array just now, I tend to think that he has at least one more powerful trump card."

Luo Feng nodded and continued, "This person is no ordinary person. The fact that he can imprint an innate killing array within his body indicates that his background is anything but ordinary. Although that little rabbit seems loud and boisterous, he was able to withstand the siege of the Fire Demon Palace for so long, so he is no pushover either."

Shi Hao looked at Cao Yusheng, who was looting the relics of the Fire Demon Palace cultivators, and smiled slightly: "As expected, none of the friends that Brother Zhu Chen makes are ordinary people."

Just then, Zhu Chen's message popped up in the chat group again.

[Zhu Chen: @Everyone, I know you're all curious about that fat guy's killing formation. Let me explain. That fat guy's name is Cao Yusheng. The killing formation he just used is the third killing formation in Perfect World since its inception. His master set it up when he broke through to the Formation Realm. It's his trump card for survival, and he wouldn't use it lightly unless absolutely necessary. The fact that he used it just now shows that he was indeed driven to desperation by those people from the Fire Demon Palace.]

Upon hearing Zhu Chen's explanation, Lin Dong suddenly realized, "So that killing formation was his trump card. No wonder it was so powerful..."

However, Han Li was deep in thought at this moment.

He turned his head and focused his gaze on Cao Yusheng, his mind replaying the moment the killing formation had just erupted.

The golden sword energy did not fly out from the array flags or treasures, but rather burst out directly from Cao Yusheng's body.

This means that the killing formation was not engraved on the battle flag or in the treasure, but inside the opponent's own body.

"A killing array etched into the body..."

Han Li muttered to himself, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

He had never seen such a method before: to inscribe a killing formation into one's own body.

In the mortal cultivation world, array masters, whether setting up or controlling arrays, cannot do without external objects such as array flags, array plates, and array stones.

Even the most skilled array masters can only inscribe the array on their magical artifacts and carry them with them.

To inscribe a formation directly into one's body is something one wouldn't even dare to dream of.

But Cao Yusheng did it.

Han Li took a deep breath, and a bold idea suddenly came to mind.

He couldn't inscribe the killing formation into his body; the risk was too great. After all, his cultivation system was different from that of cultivators in the Perfect World, and attempting it rashly would only backfire.

However, he can inscribe the killing formation into the bodies of those puppets!

Those Heavenly Demon Puppets already possess sturdy bodies; if they were further inscribed into a killing formation, their combat power would undoubtedly increase significantly.

Moreover... since the puppet has arrays engraved inside its body, there is no need to worry about backlash or spiritual energy conflicts.

More importantly, he can use the killing formation as a hidden means for his puppets, releasing it suddenly at a crucial moment to catch the enemy off guard.

"That's a good idea..."

Han Li secretly made a mental note of it and decided to start researching it after the secret realm ended.

While Han Li was thinking about these things, Cao Yusheng had already looted all the belongings of the Fire Demon Palace cultivators.

The Lunar Jade Rabbit hopped over to his side, about to say something, when it suddenly noticed Lin Dong and his group standing at the palace gate. "Hey~! Who are you?"

The Lunar Jade Rabbit stared at them warily: "Standing outside so suspiciously, are you trying to steal our territory like those red-haired monsters?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yusheng also turned his gaze towards the outside of the palace, and a look of wariness immediately appeared on his chubby face.

Although he had just finished a fight, his breathing had already returned to normal.

Clearly, the battle just now did not deplete his strength too much.

When Lin Dong saw that Cao Yusheng and the Taiyin Jade Rabbit had discovered them, he quickly waved his hand and walked into the palace with a grin: "Don't misunderstand, we're not here to take over the territory."

The Moon Jade Rabbit looked at him suspiciously: "Then what are you here for?"

Lin Dong coughed twice and said seriously, "We are all Zhu Chen's brothers. My elder brother just said that you are all his friends, so you are our friends too. In that case, let's all study Yuan Tian Supreme's cultivation experience together here, so we can look after each other."

Upon hearing the name "Zhu Chen," the Taiyin Jade Rabbit immediately showed a surprised expression.

She and Cao Yusheng had only met Zhu Chen once outside the secret realm, and they hadn't even exchanged a few words. They never expected that Zhu Chen would treat them as friends.
Are friends really so worthless these days?

But then I thought about it again. Zhu Chen has become so famous in the Three Thousand Dao States recently, and he's not even afraid of the Immortal Palace. It doesn't seem like a bad thing to be friends with someone like that.

The Moon Rabbit's eyes darted around, and its heart was filled with joy.

She cleared her throat, put her hands on her hips, struck a bossy pose, and turned to Cao Yusheng standing behind her, shouting, "Hey~, you fatso, stop staring! We have a friend here, aren't you going to come over and welcome them?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Yusheng was taken aback at first, then immediately ran over eagerly.

"Are you all Brother Zhu's brothers? My apologies for not respecting you!"

As Cao Yusheng jogged, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Dong and the others, his attitude as warm as if he were seeing family.

After running up to Lin Dong, he began to introduce himself and the Lunar Jade Rabbit with a smile: "My name is Cao Yusheng, and this is the Lunar Jade Rabbit. We did meet Brother Zhu once outside the secret realm. I didn't expect him to remember us..."

Lin Dong laughed and patted Cao Yusheng on the shoulder, saying, "My older brother never makes friends indiscriminately. Now that you have gained his approval, we are all on the same side from now on!"

Cao Yusheng felt a thud on his shoulder when he was patted, but his heart was warmed.

He had been exploring this secret realm for so long, and apart from the Taiyin Jade Rabbit, no one had ever been so enthusiastic towards him.

"--boom!"

"--boom!!"

Just then, several deafening roars came from outside the palace, accompanied by waves of magical energy.

Clearly, people in the nearby palaces must have also started vying for territory.

Just as Lin Dong was about to tell everyone to seize the time to comprehend the cultivation insights of the Yuan Tian Supreme, a voice that sounded like a group notification suddenly rang in his ears!
