Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Shen Jian's figure reappeared in front of Lei Pao, wielding the three-pointed double-edged sword and slashing fiercely at the Heavenly Yuan Shield surrounding Lei Pao.

With a "crack," a crack appeared on the Heavenly Yuan Cover. Lei Pao was a little surprised, "What a violent guy!"

Before the Heavenly Yuan Cover cracked, Lei Pao raised the cannon barrel and aimed it at Shen Jian, a powerful force gathering within the barrel.

"Sky Piercing Explosion!"

While Shen Jian was fighting Lei Pao, Yang Jian was also fighting against Jiutian Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun.

Yang Jian gripped his three-pointed, double-edged sword and relentlessly attacked the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation and Responding to the Origin of Thunder.

The Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder in the Nine Heavens repeatedly transformed into lightning to dodge, and then unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts at Yang Jian.

There's no other way; mages can't fight warriors head-on. They can only kite them, wear them down, and look for weaknesses...

Chapter 180: Rebooting the Entire Underworld

The Way of the Wind.

"The Big Dipper, with its seven stars, commands the heavens!"

Zhang Tianshi gripped his wooden sword and slashed at the "Qian" direction of the Bagua formation. However, the sword had no effect on the invisible wind and was instead repelled by the wind blades blown out from the "Qian" direction.

After being repelled, Zhang Tianshi once again pointed his sword at the sky and summoned golden lightning to strike down on Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang lightly waved his feather fan, and the "Kun" position in the formation lit up. A strong wind blew out from it, forming a solid wind shield above Zhuge Liang's head.

He gently shook his head. "The wind is ineffective when it is formless. You should give up!"

This formation is called the Eight Winds Qimen Formation. The formation is arranged according to the eight trigrams, with each trigram corresponding to a "wind element".

The Qian direction corresponds to "Heaven," and the wind that blows out is extremely fierce, condensing into blades that can destroy armor and break through defenses.

The Kun direction corresponds to "Earth," and the wind that blows out is as thick and shield-like as a protective wind, which can neutralize attacks and stabilize the base of the formation.

The Xun direction corresponds to "wind," and the wind that blows is a cold, ghostly wind that can disturb the mind of those who enter the formation.

The Zhen direction corresponds to "thunder," which brings forth a thunderous wind and thunder that clashes together, tearing apart evil spirits.

The Kan direction corresponds to "water," and the wind that blows out is a biting cold wind that can freeze enemies and slow their movements.

The direction corresponding to "fire" produces a scorching wind that burns spiritual energy and suppresses the power of coldness.

The Gen direction corresponds to "mountain," and the wind that blows out is stagnant and can temporarily immobilize those who enter the formation.

The direction of Dui corresponds to "Ze," which produces a whirlwind that can conjure fog and create illusions, further confusing perception.

"What a joke! How could I, a cursed mage, be trapped by someone else's formation?"

The spellcaster raised his head. "But you're right, tangible lightning can't bind intangible wind, so that's why I can't break this formation, isn't it?"

Zhuge Liang did not answer. He gripped his feather fan tightly, sensing that the person before him was not as simple as he had imagined...

"Looks like I guessed right!"

The spellcaster quickly came up with a way to break the formation: "However, wind may be invisible, but its movement must have a cause!"

"These winds cannot flow between the trigram positions automatically; they require your spiritual power to drive them, and that is the method to break the formation..."

Zhang Tianshi, standing behind the sorcerer, flung out a black talisman, stabbed it with his sword, and then slashed it fiercely into the sky.

A crack appeared in the sky, and a black waterfall of lightning flowed down from the crack toward the Bagua position of the formation.

Just like ink dripping into clear water, the wind in the Bagua directions turned black, and Zhuge Liang keenly sensed that his control over the Bagua directions was weakening.

What is this lightning waterfall? It can actually sever my connection with the formation...

"This is a manifest lightning from the Nine Netherworlds of Fengdu. Although it consumes a lot of energy, it's perfect for dealing with you..."

The Curse Master stepped out of the Eight Winds Formation. "If it were anyone else, they might have been trapped and died in the formation, but unfortunately, you've encountered me!"

"Ah Liang, what should we do?"

Zhuge Yixin was a little panicked, "Are we both going to die here?"

Zhuge Liang shrugged, "You're the one who'll die. I've already died once..."

"You're still making sarcastic remarks?!"

"Don't rush..."

Zhuge Liang gently waved his feather fan and looked up at the sky, "The other three routes have reinforcements, and we should have some here too..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the space in the sky shattered, and Xihe fell from it. Seeing that their gazes were all on her, she hesitated for a moment.

"Did I interrupt your battle?"

"No, no, heroine, please help me!"

Zhuge Yixin felt as if he had seen a savior and hurriedly asked for help.

"The divine pearl is on you?"

Zhou Shi stared intently at Xi He, carefully sensing that there were four different divine pearl auras on Xi He's body.

Why are there four auras?

At least the Supreme Divine Pearl should still be in Ying Chengfeng's hands. Could it be that Ying Chengfeng lost the Divine Pearl and has been keeping it a secret from everyone?

That's all we can do. After all, the Four Divine Pearls are no ordinary objects, and it's impossible to find a second identical one in the Underworld...

As long as I obtain the four divine pearls, I can achieve my purpose of coming to this world...

Of the dragon chess generals that Huangfu Longdou summoned by using his lifespan, only Tiezu was serious about doing his job after taking the money, while Leipao wanted to clean up the mess and deal with the humans who were burdened with the Divine Thunder Seal and the Divine Rain Seal.

Chi Che was seeking a satisfying duel, which is why she didn't interrupt her battle with Gavin even after receiving a message from the Curse Master in Tartarus.

Snow Elephant was sent down from the Great Thousand World to monitor Ying Chengfeng, who had already disrupted the balance of all things and become immortal.

If left unchecked, not only the underworld, but also the entire universe and the human world will be affected.

Like them, Zhou Shi also had his own purpose, and like Xue Xiang, he also noticed the anomalies in the underworld.

Although it was Ying Chengfeng who destroyed the Wuxiang Gate, Zhou Shi believed that the incompetence of the Spirit Master was the reason why the Underworld was in such chaos.

The four divine pearls that were originally gathered together to maintain the operation of the Formless Gate are now scattered in various places, and the balance that was maintaining the balance has been broken.

The underworld has become a chaotic and corrupt place, teeming with evildoers...

Unlike Ying Chengfeng's attempt to resolve the snow elephant, Zhou Shi's method was more direct: he planned to obtain the four divine pearls himself and use their power to restart the entire underworld.

At that time, everything in the underworld will disappear, not only the dead and evil spirits, but also those who possess spirits...

"Although I don't know why you've come to me of your own accord, I can tell you for sure that you can't escape!"

The spellcaster emitted bursts of golden light, and his spiritual power surged forth like a tide, clearly indicating that he had no intention of letting Xihe leave.

"Whatever you want..."

Xihe raised her hand, and countless golden crows burning with flames appeared around her. With a bird's cry, the golden crows charged towards the curse master.

Unlike them, Li Moxuan did not come to Shuiyun Street this time, but went to the Spirit Realm controlled by the Hall of Heroes.

From the beginning, he was a little confused as to why Huangfu Longdou would let the Tiangang Dragon Chess General target Liu Yuchan, who had no ambition. Shouldn't they have eliminated Xiang Kunlun first?

Before leaving, he specifically asked Yuan Xichen about it, and then he understood.

Either Ying Chengfeng summoned Long Qi himself to deal with Xiang Kunlun, or Ying Chengfeng and Huangfu Longdou personally took action against Xiang Kunlun.

If it's the former, no matter which dragon chess general Xiang Kunlun's opponent is, he can take advantage of the situation when both sides are exhausted and pick up the pieces.

Especially Mu Bing, whose strength is at least on par with Tie Zu, and who is also Ying Chengfeng's subordinate, must be eliminated.

If it's the latter, it's a good opportunity to see Ying Chengfeng's strength, since Ying Long is currently sealed in Tianxi Mountain by the Dragon-Trapping Lock.

Unless the seal is broken using the Four Divine Pearls, Ying Chengfeng will be unable to summon it to fight.

Without being able to summon guardian spirits to fight, it's uncertain whether Ying Chengfeng's strength can match that of Long Qijiang...

Chapter 181: Chu Soul Battle Armor

The Spirit Realm.

Who are you?

Having sensed the commotion outside the city, Yuwen Muxi led a group of Chu soldiers to intercept Mu Bing, Feng Xiang, and Yu Shi.

"We need Xiang Kunlun's head!"

The soldiers made no attempt to hide their intentions, stating directly the purpose of their visit: "Leave now, we will not stop you!"

"what?!"

"How dare you! You actually want to harm King Xiang!"

"Stop them! We must not let them offend King Xiang!"

"..."

The surrounding Chu soldiers reacted strongly, immediately surrounding the three men, waiting for Yuwen Muxi's order to capture them.

"Who do we have here? It's just Huangfu Longdou's lackey!"

Xiang Kunlun's voice came from behind the group of Chu soldiers, and the soldiers quickly made way for him.

Xiang Kunlun was seen carrying the Heavenly Emperor Overlord Halberd, with Da Han, Xiao Han, Wu Huo, and Wen Huo by his side, and a large group of well-equipped soldiers behind him.

"Not bad, they actually came out to their deaths..."

The shepherd soldier stepped forward, carrying an axe. "Leave Xiang Kunlun to me, and you two can handle the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers!"

"Grunts?"

Yuwen Muxi's face darkened, and he hurled the Ziyuan Tianfeng Halberd in his hand, which pierced through the air with tremendous force as it hurtled towards Mu Bing.

"Not bad!"

Mu Bing easily caught the Purple Phoenix Halberd with one hand, "But it's still not enough for me!"

He tossed the Purple Phoenix Halberd back to Yuwen Muxi, saying, "Your opponent isn't me, so don't interfere with my battle!"

"That's right!"

Several wind blades suddenly swept towards Yuwen Muxi, but a tall figure appeared in front of him, easily blocking the wind blades with his phoenix-winged gilded halberd.
