Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

Although they were still standing, in an instant, their minds were shattered into a complete mess.

Li Xin's eyes were indifferent as he stepped inside.

They discovered that life and death were truly impermanent within the Impermanence Courtyard.

There was no airflow, no chirping of insects, and not a trace of life in the courtyard.

Only the heavy force of suppression covered all directions.

As soon as he took one step into the formation, the Great Zhou True Qi flowing around Li Xin's body became sluggish and slowed down, and his skin, muscles and bones felt faintly numb.

The mind is firmly bound by invisible shackles, making even breathing heavy and difficult.

He took another step forward.

The ball of the foot lands.

The nine bronze ancient bowls on all four sides simultaneously emitted a dazzling, deep golden light.

An overwhelming, deathly silence pressed down, as if the entire void had solidified, and the air within a radius of a hundred feet was completely condensed into refined iron, sealing itself within.

At the same time, every inch of space overhead seemed to bear the weight of a ten-thousand-ton mountain.

You have to crush yourself into dust.

"No wonder, the digestion ritual of Erlang Zhenjun's divine intention was directed at this formation."

The core inner formation is the Nine Palaces Dragon Locking Formation, and the outer formation is the Four Seas Peace Formation.

The combined effect of internal and external defenses effectively locked down the entire imperial city, which is probably why foreign experts from various countries dared not force their way in.

Li Xin only needed to sense the strength of the formation to secretly admire it.

Even a wrecked ship has three thousand nails.

Even a great dynasty has come to an end.

Its profound heritage remains astonishing.

He hadn't even started his attack yet, nor had he begun to confront the old monk Wuchang.

The residual power of the formation's spontaneous operation was already making it difficult to breathe.

Sure enough, coming here this time was the right decision.

Why not experience it for yourself?

In the unlikely event of an attack by the old monk under certain special circumstances, one might be caught off guard.

I just don't know why the old monk hasn't moved at all?

The terrifying crushing force instantly descended upon him, causing Li Xin's shoulders to slump violently, his knees to bend uncontrollably, and his spine to crack under the pressure.

The faint cracking sound of bones spread from the neck all the way to the coccyx.

The bones and muscles are on the verge of dislocation and collapse.

His blue robe was stretched to its limit by an invisible force, digging into his flesh.

The clothes on his body were instantly soaked with fine beads of blood.

All the acupoints on his body were sealed tightly by the golden dragon-suppressing patterns. As the surrounding light shone, it was as if countless black iron needles pierced through his acupoints, locked his meridians, and completely cut off the flow of true energy.

The bluestone slab where his toes landed shattered and cracked instantly, revealing a network of fine, crisscrossing lines.

The entire stone path sank downwards by half an inch, and the broken stone powder was crushed and compacted, forming a hard stone shell.

“Young benefactor, you are exceptionally gifted and naturally gifted. Why not become my disciple and cultivate Buddhism? Becoming a Buddha or patriarch in the future is not out of the question.” The old monk Wuchang had already sat down in the flower garden sometime earlier.

It's like he's been sitting there the whole time.

It's as if the body isn't actually there; what appears is just an illusion.

With his lips slightly parted.

The booming, majestic sound, like the chanting of the Buddha, had already entered Li Xin's mind.

It made him feel that, deep down, he couldn't muster the slightest fighting spirit.

Yes.

Why fight to the death?

Wouldn't it be better to lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot?

Why fight to the death and end up in such a miserable state when there is such an easy path to Buddhahood?

Any intelligent person would not do such a foolish thing.

"Oh, it was fake after all. It looked so real."

Li Xin felt excruciating pain, as if his body was on the verge of collapse, seeping into his soul.

Instead of panicking, he shook his head and chuckled.

'Even my innate healing ability couldn't fool them, so how can they expect me to believe I'm injured?'

Mentally, he still feels as if he is being weighed down by an immense weight, but he can still see clearly that the distorted light in the courtyard, making it difficult to distinguish between inside and outside, is merely an illusion created by a spiritual force influencing reality.

I still appear to be in the yard.

In reality, it's very likely that it's inside the house.

The old monk Wuchang was sitting ten steps away from him, but Li Xin knew that the other party was actually very far away, and not on the ground, but underground.

If you rashly attack the old monk in front of you.

That could really cause a problem.

Because that is where the gate to death is located.

"What a confusing and deceptive scheme, a dreamlike illusion. They actually took the initiative and started with a psychological attack."

Li Xin laughed heartily: "Old monk, you're underestimating me by resorting to such underhanded tricks."

Amidst a long laugh.

The mountain peaks before them collapsed, space tore apart, and suddenly, they were ripped apart by a long sword.

In the void, air currents shot out in all directions.

A series of booming sounds shook the illusory scene, causing it to crumble inch by inch.

Golden flames, like threads, roared forward.

Since we can't see the gates of life and death, and we can't find the other party's true form.

Then we might as well break the formation with force and forcibly destroy this overlapping illusion.

Chapter 201 Breaking the Formation, Clouds Rumble in All Directions (Part 2) (Please Subscribe)

The old monk Wuchang sat with his eyes closed, his voice aged and deep, "This formation locks the dragon veins of heaven and earth, suppresses the energy of the world, and seals the life force of all things."

With the blessing of sixty years of earth vein foundation, those who enter the formation will have their cultivation sealed, their physical body crushed, and their souls destroyed. All things that enter will become ants.

You killed my disciples, destroyed my alchemy, and severed the foundation of my sect. If you attempt to break through the formation today, you will have no chance of escape.

Li Xin listened but did not listen.

Instead, she became slightly excited.

It's been so long.

As his strength increased dramatically, he found that even real combat with others wasn't satisfying enough.

The so-called experts I usually encounter are easily defeated with a few moves, posing no pressure whatsoever.

This feeling, if you had to say it's good, it actually is.

If there's anything wrong with it, it's that it lacks a lot of fun.

How can one improve martial arts skills without an equally matched opponent or a sufficiently tough opponent?

He took a deep breath, and a fierce wind arose around him, golden flames rose, and with a swing of his spear, nine afterimages appeared...

"Old monk, you'd better be able to withstand my attack, or I'll tear your old bones to shreds."

Boom boom boom...

Nine shots rang out in succession.

Sparks flew from the nine bronze bowls.

The buzzing and vibrating sound caused the surrounding air to ripple, as if the entire array space was about to collapse at any moment.

But it ultimately did not collapse.

The illusory image of the old monk Wuchang was still in the flower garden, slowly shaking his head, his tone carrying a hint of regret: "This humble monk has guarded this place for sixty years and has seen countless people who want to break the formation."

Some tried to force their way in, some tried to find loopholes and take shortcuts, and some even tried to sneak in through underground rivers.

But they are all dead...

"Your talent is exceptional; you've already achieved the Great Circulation of True Qi before the age of twenty. Given time, you may very well be able to sit down and discuss the Dao with this humble monk. Why the rush?"

"Sit down and discuss principles?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Li Xin's eyes as he sneered, "Discussing the Dao with someone like you who uses children's blood to refine pills? You bald monk, you're not worthy."

The old monk, Wuchang, remained silent for a moment.

He spoke again after a moment, his tone still as flat as still water: "You are referring to the children downstairs at Wanfu Tower. I know this, but I have never stopped them. Do you know why?"

Before Li Xin could reply, he continued, "Because this humble monk is in charge of the formation. What is locked is the dragon vein, and what is suppressed is the world."

As long as the formation stands, so too does this humble monk; if the formation is broken, this humble monk's foundation for enlightenment will be destroyed in an instant, and the world will be thrown into chaos.

This humble monk is not doing this for personal gain, but so that all the people of the world may be freed from the suffering of being enslaved by foreign powers…

Every drop of blood shed by those children, once it enters my body, also seeps into the foundation of the array, helping me to survive for another year.

He raised his eyes, a glint of pale gold light flashing in them, and fell upon Li Xin: "Benefactor, when you charged into the formation today, did you ever consider...?"

If you really break through the formation, wouldn't those children have died for nothing?

This vast territory, with its hundreds of millions of people, is all pinned on this battle formation.

"With the formation broken, their deaths became meaningless."

"absurd."

Li Xin's voice grew increasingly cold, "If this dynasty is to be maintained by the blood of innocent people, then it should not exist."

The old monk Wuchang's fingers, which were supporting the dragon vein's energy, trembled slightly.

The suppressive force of the formation continued to increase, seemingly without end.

Li Xin's body finally reached a critical point.

The leg bones were cracking, and the skin below the knee was bruised and purple.

Blood seeped from the corners of his mouth, eyes, and ears.

My mind gradually became sluggish, and it took a lot of effort to concentrate and muster any energy.

But his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

He could feel his physique becoming more and more solid. The "Constitution" column jumped from 41.5 to 41.6, then gradually reached 42 points, and then 42.6, and it was still climbing.

Every time my body can't hold on any longer.

The [Heal] talent activates immediately.

To restore physical strength once again.

As the pressure from the formation increased, it finally crashed down like a giant mountain.

The speed at which the [Healing] talent repairs the body is somewhat unable to keep up with the speed of destruction.

With a thought, the [Life Character] in his arms turned to ashes, and a surge of vitality rushed into his body.

After burning six [Life Characters] in a row, [Constitution] increased by 6 points.
