Chapter 2011 Is this what you rely on?
Inside the Sky Arena, the killing intent was as chilling as a deadly winter.
Pang Yan'en's eyes were bloodshot, and the dark red demonic flames boiling around him almost ignited the air, emitting a pungent smell of sulfur and blood.
Pang Yan'en's arms bulged like dragons, and the giant axe in his hand, condensed from pure demonic energy and wrapped with destructive Dao patterns, burst forth with terrifying light that tore through the sky.
There was no nonsense, no challenge, only the purest and most extreme desire to kill.
The Primordial Chaos, Limitless and Unlimited, splits the heavens and shatters the earth!
Pang Yan'en gripped the axe handle tightly with both hands and, with the force of splitting chaos and cleaving the universe, fiercely cleaved down towards Chen Fei, who was shrouded in the array of light in front of him.
"laugh!"
A jet-black axe blade, stretching across the sky and seemingly capable of splitting the world in two, burst forth from the axe's edge.
Wherever the axe blade passed, the space emitted a sharp, unbearable shriek. The boundless demonic energy and the unique "limitless power" concept of the Hunyuan Wuji Technique were perfectly integrated, making the power of this axe far exceed any move used against Yi Jingcheng.
At the heart of the formation, Chen Fei remained calm and composed, raising his right hand and pointing his fingers like a sword, gently guiding them upwards.
"Buzz!"
A dazzling five-colored beam of light, imbued with the principles of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) and their cycle of birth and death, shot into the sky from the core of the formation and crashed into the descending black axe blade.
"boom!"
Two forces capable of destroying the world collided solidly in mid-air.
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and a terrifying energy shockwave spread wildly in a ring, slamming into the rules barrier of the martial arts arena and creating ripples all over the sky.
The Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light flashed violently, and the "Primordial Chaos" concept contained within the axe blade was domineering and unparalleled. It used force to overcome skill and actually forcibly tore apart the layers of annihilation power of the Five Elements Divine Light.
The stalemate lasted less than a breath before the pillar of light formed by the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light was forcibly cleaved in two.
Although the axe blade's light dimmed and shrank by nearly 30%, its main body still carried overwhelming power, continuing to slash down at the array light barrier below.
Seeing the Five Elements Divine Light broken, Chen Fei's eyes flickered slightly, and his left hand formed a profound hand seal.
Just as the dim yet still deadly axe blade was about to strike the array's light barrier, the void around the axe blade suddenly became incredibly viscous and distorted.
An invisible and intangible force field was born out of thin air.
This force field was not a direct, head-on blockade, but rather filled with chaotic and inverted rules and principles, as if it instantly transformed that space into a disordered spacetime vortex.
The once unstoppable black axe blade suddenly plummeted in speed the moment it entered the Yin-Yang Collapsing Force Field.
As if bound by countless invisible chains, every inch of progress became exceptionally difficult. The destructive magic light flowing across the axe blade also became flickering, and its power began to weaken visibly.
Chen Fei looked at Pang Yan'en in the distance, then pointed to the next line, his fingertip pointing towards the void beneath his feet.
The earth's veins are deeply rooted, and the void slays gods!
"Zhengzhengzheng!"
In the next instant, hundreds of feet away from Pang Yan'en, without warning, thousands upon thousands of Earth Vein God-Slaying Spears, their bodies flowing with the patterns of the earth's veins and their tips flashing with a cold light that tears through the void, appeared out of thin air like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Without giving Pang Yan'en any time to react, the dense rain of God-Slaying Spears, carrying a fierce momentum that could pierce through all things and slaughter gods and demons, shot towards Pang Yan'en.
Pang Yan'en frowned. He hadn't expected that Chen Fei could launch such a swift and fierce counterattack while dealing with his attack.
What alarmed him even more was that each of these God-Slaying Spears possessed the power of a full-force attack from a mid-stage fifteenth-level cultivator. With such a large number combined, even with his peak fifteenth-level cultivation, he dared not ignore them.
Pang Yan'en cursed inwardly, forced to abandon his precise control over the distant axe blade and instantly withdraw most of his mind and demonic energy.
Pang Yan'en roared, his giant axe swirling in front of him like a wheel, solid axe shadows intertwining to form a thick, dark red blade shield. At the same time, demonic energy surged wildly from his body, forming layers upon layers of demonic energy shields behind the blade shield.
"Boom boom boom!"
Almost the instant he completed his defense, the endless Earth Vein God-Slaying Spears slammed into him.
The deafening explosions continued incessantly, the blade shield trembled violently, and the magic energy shield rippled wildly like water being struck by a boulder.
In the distance, the pitch-black axe blade, which had lost Pang Yan'en's continuous control, finally shattered under the constant erosion of the Yin-Yang Collapse Force Field and the entanglement and strangulation of the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, turning into pure demonic energy and dissipating into nothingness.
The balance of power shifted in the blink of an eye.
Immortal-Slaying Sword Qi, vanish into nothingness!
With a thought, Chen Fei's feet flickered with array patterns, and countless condensed Immortal Slaying Sword Qi converged once again, paving a silver light path.
Chen Fei's figure transformed into a cyan swan once more, following the path of sword energy, and at a speed that almost tore through space, instantly traversed the distance between him and Pang Yan'en, appearing less than a hundred feet in front of Pang Yan'en.
Pang Yan'en had just blocked most of the attacks from the God-Slaying Spears when he saw Chen Fei appear at such close range. He was startled and instinctively wanted to retreat and create distance.
But just as he was about to take a step, he abruptly stopped himself from doing so.
Before the martial arts arena even began, Pang Yan'en knew he couldn't avoid being enveloped by the linked array, because Chen Fei's movement speed was too fast. Pang Yan'en's only chance was to break the linked array while inside it.
Moreover, the help that Chu Yufeng could provide made Pang Yan'en determined. As long as he could find the weak point in the formation, Pang Yan'en was confident that he could break the formation with his own strength!
"I refuse to believe that a mere late-stage fifteenth-level cultivator's formation can be any stronger. I'll chop you down with one axe in close combat!" A mad determination flashed in Pang Yan'en's eyes, and a fierce aura dispelled any ulterior motives in his mind.
He roared, not retreating but instead actively shaking off the remaining God-Slaying Spears around him. His demonic flames surged again, and he gripped his giant axe tightly, transforming into a violent dark red meteor. Instead of retreating, he advanced, carrying a devastating aura that could crush everything, charging straight toward Chen Fei, who was a hundred feet away.
The instant Pang Yan'en charged out, Chen Fei's body shone brightly, and the linked array behind him, as if teleported, suddenly descended with him as the center, enveloping Chen Fei and the charging Pang Yan'en in the core area.
Yin and Yang are in disorder, Heaven and Earth are upside down!
Chen Fei changed his hand seals, and the Yin-Yang Collapse Force Field that had previously slowed down the axe blade suddenly increased in power several times, like an invisible giant mountain, crashing down on Pang Yan'en's body.
"Ugh!"
Pang Yan'en's forward momentum suddenly halted, as if he had fallen into an endless abyss.
Pang Yan'en's eyes widened suddenly, and he frantically burned his demonic energy. The dark red demonic flames on his body boiled as if they were solid, forcibly tearing away the viscous force field binding him.
However, just as he broke free of the force field, the colorful light before his eyes shone brightly once again.
The Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, like a barrier stretching across the sky, had already blocked his path between him and Chen Fei.
"roll!"
Pang Yan'en was completely enraged. Countless tiny yet extremely refined black axe blade phantoms burst forth from his body, sweeping across the Five Elements Divine Light Barrier in front of him.
These axe blades may not be as powerful individually as the previous Heaven-Opening Axe, but their number is endless, and they contain the ultimate Daoist essence of "shattering".
"Puff puff puff... Boom!"
Under the frenzied impact, cutting, and self-destruction of countless axe blades, the thick barrier of the Five Elements Divine Light shattered and dissipated into countless points of light.
"Brother Pang, Qian position, the core of the formation, the point of spiritual energy flow, strike!" Chu Yufeng's voice appeared in Pang Yan'en's ears.
Pang Yan'en's spirits lifted. Although he had reservations about Chu Yufeng's array formation skills, he was now ready to act and had no other choice.
Without hesitation, Pang Yan'en, relying on his instinctive sense of the heavens and the earth, twisted his body forcefully and instantly appeared in the northwest Qian position of the array space.
Sure enough, once he entered this location, he keenly sensed that the flow of the array's light barrier here was indeed different from the previous location.
Pang Yan'en's eyes flashed with light as he poured all his strength into his arms. The giant axe in his hand erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling demonic light as he swung it down towards the subtle point he sensed.
"boom!!"
The giant axe struck the array's light barrier solidly, producing a loud, deafening explosion that was far more intense than any previous collision.
The entire linked array began to tremble and shake, its light flickering and countless array runes flashing wildly, as if it had been subjected to an unprecedented impact.
Although the formation stabilized quickly in the next moment, the stagnation and turbulence of that instant were clearly perceived by all the powerful figures inside and outside the formation.
"efficient!"
Pang Yan'en was overjoyed. He clearly felt that his axe strike was not in vain; he had indeed shaken the chained formation.
Outside the training ground, the cultivators' camp.
Wu Fanyu and the other two's expressions changed slightly. As bystanders, they could see more clearly that at the moment Pang Yan'en struck the array wall, the energy flow of the entire linked array experienced an extremely brief but real ripple and delay.
The demonic cultivators were the same; they couldn't help but look at Chu Yufeng, who had just transmitted his voice.
Sensing the gazes around him, Chu Yufeng smiled slightly.
"Brother Pang, next, we'll use a feint attack. We'll feign an attack on the Li position to draw their defensive forces away, and then launch a full-scale attack on the Kun position, which is the second key node connecting the earth's energy with the formation."
Inside the formation, Pang Yan'en, who had just tasted success, now had complete faith in Chu Yufeng.
He roared and made a move to lunge southward, the axe blade emitting a terrifying, demonic light.
However, just as Pang Yan'en was about to pounce, his footwork suddenly shifted, his demonic energy erupted, and he abruptly changed direction, flashing to the southwest Kun position.
At the same time, the accumulated power, accompanied by a roar that tore through the sky, slashed down fiercely at the light barrier of the Kun position array without reservation.
"clang!!!"
This time, the impact was no longer a dull rumble, but a piercingly sharp sound, as if billions of divine metals were shattering simultaneously.
The entire linked array trembled violently like never before. Light flickered wildly, countless runes flashed and disappeared, and even the light walls in some areas showed subtle, spiderweb-like twists and turns.
Even more astonishingly, the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi and Earth Vein God Slaying Spears that were originally shooting towards Pang Yan'en from all directions as if they were his own arms, seemed to lose their energy support at this moment, and more than 70% of them dissipated silently halfway.
Only a few remained, which crashed into Pang Yan'en's protective demonic energy and were easily dispersed by him.
The operation of the grand formation has suffered a fatal disruption.
"Hahaha, I'm going to break your damn formation!"
Pang Yan'en felt the pressure around him greatly reduced, and looking at Chen Fei's figure, he let out a maniacal laugh.
Pang Yan'en, seemingly possessed, moved with lightning speed, following the guidance Chu Yufeng had whispered in his ear, instantly appearing at the Dui position in the Bagua formation. According to Chu Yufeng, this place was another weak point in the flow of energy within the formation.
The Axe that Opens the Heavens!
Pang Yan'en's Primordial Chaos Demonic Essence circulated wildly at an unprecedented speed, pouring entirely into the giant axe in his hand, which was wreathed in raging demonic flames.
On the axe blade, the dark light was concentrated to its extreme, as if it could even devour light.
With an aura of crushing all laws and annihilating everything, Pang Yan'en swung his giant axe high and slammed it down fiercely at the array wall beneath his feet.
"Boom!"
This time, the impact sound was unusually dull.
But there was no earth-shattering explosion as expected, nor a dazzling surge of energy.
The giant axe's blade, as easily as a hot knife through butter, embedded itself deeply into the solid array's light barrier. The array wall around the axe blade emitted a cracking sound as it succumbed to the pressure, and fine, spiderweb-like cracks appeared.
"Om..."
The entire linked array suddenly emitted a low and strange tremor. This tremor was not a violent shaking, but more like the last heartbeat of a dying beast, brief and weak.
Immediately following, the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light, the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, the Earth Vein God Slaying Spear, and the viscous, heavy, and sluggish Yin-Yang Collapse Force Field filled the entire array space...
At that moment, like the receding tide, it vanished without warning, disappearing without a trace.
It was as if all the energy supporting the operation of this great formation was instantly cut off and drained the moment the Dui position was hit.
This sudden change startled Pang Yan'en for a moment, and then boundless joy and violent killing intent erupted from his heart like a volcano.
He suddenly raised his head, his blood-red eyes, like two hellish lamps, fixed on Chen Fei, the figure in green robes not far away.
"Junior!"
Pang Yan'en's voice became distorted and shrill due to extreme excitement and killing intent, "Is this what you rely on to boast and act arrogantly? Hmm?"
Faced with Pang Yan'en's almost tangible killing intent and provocation, Chen Fei's face showed no panic whatsoever, not even the slightest ripple.
He didn't look at the aggressive Pang Yan'en, but calmly turned his gaze to the direction of the demonic cultivator camp outside the martial arts arena, to Chu Yufeng, who was wearing a confident and shrewd smile.
Their eyes met across the distance.
Chu Yufeng's smile widened, even carrying a hint of mockery and pity.
Chen Fei slowly raised his arm, extended a finger, and pointed directly at Chu Yufeng, who was smugly standing outside the arena.
Then, he turned his head and looked at Pang Yan'en, who was seething with murderous intent, a faint smile curving his lips. "Is this what you rely on to boast and act arrogantly?"
"Even on the verge of death, you still dare to be so sharp-tongued and mysterious!"
Pang Yan'en roared hysterically, "Fine, fine, fine! I won't kill you directly later. I'll smash every bone in your body one by one, and burn your soul bit by bit. Let's see if you'll still be as tough as you are then!"
Pang Yan'en stomped his right foot backward, causing the array wall beneath his feet to flash with light.
Using the force of the recoil, Pang Yan'en grabbed the embedded axe blade, unleashed his demonic energy, and transformed into a dark red streak of light that tore through the void, rushing madly toward Chen Fei, who was right in front of him. He raised his giant axe, ready to cleave Chen Fei in two.
"Buzz!"
However, just as Pang Yan'en moved, a formation hum, far more magnificent and powerful than any before, suddenly resounded from the depths of the void. It was as if an ancient ferocious beast, which had been feigning sleep, had suddenly opened its cold eyes.
"Boom!"
The originally lifeless array space was instantly filled with endless light and energy.
The five-element extinction divine light, colorful and vibrant, surged forth like a rainbow flood bursting its banks, illuminating every inch of space.
The hazy Yin-Yang Collapse Force Field, carrying the power to overturn heaven and earth, descended with a roar and slammed down on Pang Yan'en.
Dark yellow earth vein spears, densely packed together, pierced through the void and swarmed in from all directions.
Above the sky, dozens of enormous Immortal-Slaying Stars, their surfaces ablaze with starlight, had somehow already coalesced into form.
They formed a continuous mass, like an apocalyptic meteor shower, carrying the majestic power to crush stars and destroy everything, crashing down on Pang Yan'en.
All these changes happened faster than the mind could process.
It was as if the failure of the formation just now was only a brief illusion.
Pang Yan'en's ferocious, maniacal smile froze instantly, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints in extreme horror.
"No...impossible..."
Outside the martial arts arena, inside the demonic cultivators' camp.
Chu Yufeng, who had been smiling, froze the moment he saw the formation instantly recover and its power surge.
He involuntarily leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the continuously operating array in the training ground.
"No, that was all an illusion!"
Chu Yufeng was, after all, an expert in formations, and after a moment's sensing, he instantly understood. His expression immediately turned grim.
All the illusions that were about to break the formation were actually deliberately revealed by Chen Fei.
Just like a game of chess, Chu Yufeng seemed to have the upper hand, but later he realized that it was all a trap set by Chen Fei.
In terms of array formation skills, he was actually inferior to a late-stage fifteenth-level expert!
Inside the training ground, Pang Yan'en finally woke up as if from a dream.
"Primordial Chaos, Invincible to All Laws, Open for Me!"
Driven by the instinct for survival, Pang Yan'en suppressed all anger and regret, frantically circulating his Hunyuan Wuji Gong, burning his very essence. He gripped the giant axe tightly with both hands and cleaved it fiercely forward.
"boom!!"
The combined power of the falling Immortal Star, the annihilating might of the Five Elements Divine Light, the suppressive effect of the Yin-Yang Force Field, and the sharpness of countless God-Slaying Spears striking solidly against Pang Yan'en's demonic axe.
“Crack…bang!”
The protective magical energy shattered instantly, and the axe beam unleashed by the giant axe vanished like bubbles.
"puff!"
Pang Yan'en felt as if he had been struck by a mountain, and he spat out a mouthful of demonic blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.
His bones cracked with a sickening sound, and he was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by the irresistible and terrifying force, crashing heavily into the solid array light barrier behind him with a dull thud.
The demonic blood slowly slid down the light barrier.
