Chapter 3672: How to Break the Formation

Ye Liuyun had already gone deep into the cave at this point, completely unaware of what was happening outside.

He also realized the royal clan would not let it go easily, but that would be after he came out. For now, staying in this cave is safe; other martial cultivators don't have his courage to enter the cave.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil could also see far. Although there was also demonic qi here, he could still see far, and in this cave he had not seen any demon person.

Moreover, this cave is at least tens of thousands of li deep, looking more like an underground passage. There may be hidden dangers within, which he does not know for now.

Now he can only cautiously explore downward. However, the area his Divine Sense and Golden Pupil can reach shows no danger. There is also no sign of a sudden outbreak of demonic qi inside the cave.

After half a day, Ye Liuyun had already sneaked into the passage for a distance of nearly ten thousand li, faintly seeing light at the end of the passage. Occasionally, the silhouettes of demon beasts and demon people flashed by.

Thus he accelerated again toward those demonic creatures, putting on the Invisibility Cloak, restraining his aura, and wrapping his whole body in demonic qi.

But just as he was about to reach the end of the passage, he discovered that a formation lay ahead, sealing off the passage.

This formation, however, does not block the sight of his Golden Pupil; he has already seen the scene inside. It resembles an underground space, with some mountain-like giant pillars supporting this underground space.

The demonic qi inside this underground space is very thick. Some demon people direct demon beasts to dig for crystal stones everywhere, and there are many demon people settlements, all simple stone houses.

Among those laboring, the demon people and demon beasts are mostly at the Cave Heaven Realm; only in the settlements and demon beast gathering areas do some lower‑level demonic creatures exist.

"So these demonic creatures' lair is underground." Ye Liuyun also suddenly realized.

But immediately he became curious: "Since these demonic creatures lack the skill to forge weapons, how did this formation come about?"

However, he currently cannot find an answer, so he can only break the formation and sneak in first.

He also dared not charge straight in or use Technique to break the formation, lest he attract the demon people's attention. He could only first use his Golden Pupil to carefully observe the formation, then project it via a Clone Puppet inside his Space World for the Formation Masters like Qiong Qi to study how to break it.

Yet the formation he copied exactly, in his Space World, had no defensive effect at all. Qiong Qi and the other Formation Masters were also completely puzzled.

"This formation indeed looks capable of blocking, but why won't it activate here?"

Ye Liuyun then left the formation entirely to them for study. If these people cannot crack it, he certainly cannot help either.

He stayed outside the formation, monitoring the demon people's every move, personally seeing some demon beasts dig up variously colored crystal stones from underground and hand them to the demon people. The demon people then took these crystal stones back to their tribe and gave them to the Clan Chief for distribution.

He also saw a metal-built demon beast altar, with two square pools on it. One pool held thick black qi, the other held blood‑red gas.

Ye Liuyun guessed that inside the two pools, one contained pure demonic qi, the other contained killing qi. He also saw some demon people entering them to cultivate, but he could discern no pattern and did not understand why these demon people cultivated separately.

After several days, Qiong Qi and the other Formation Masters still had not found a way to break the formation. Five demon people had already gathered beneath the formation, apparently preparing to go out on patrol.

"The day of their patrol has arrived!"

Ye Liuyun also immediately paid attention, wanting to see how these demon people left the formation. If the formation could open at that moment, he would take the chance to sneak in.

But what he did not expect was that these five demon people directly penetrated the formation and shot upward.

"This…… the demon people are actually unaffected!" Ye Liuyun was also speechless.

"Wait a bit longer, see if they will open the formation when they return!" Ye Liuyun was also consoling himself.

Less than two hours later, those demon people again

They returned quickly. Moreover, their charge speed undiminished, they directly passed through the formation again and returned to their underground world.

Ye Liuyun immediately tried as well; he used no power, approached the formation, but clearly felt a repulsive force from it acting on him.

He dared not try again forcibly; he only told Qiong Qi of this situation, hoping it might help them break the formation.

After another five days, Ye Liuyun waited for the demon people's next patrol; the result was the same as before—they freely shuttled through the formation.

At this point Ye Liuyun also noticed that the demonic qi in the underground space was becoming increasingly thick. Especially near the formation, the demonic qi gathered more and more, already beginning to affect his vision. Now when he looked with his Golden Pupil, all he saw was black qi swirling.

He also guessed that the more demonic qi gathered here, the more it would, in a few days, erupt through the formation to provide cultivation fuel for the outside demonic creatures.

But even now, Qiong Qi and the others still had no clue about that formation. Even after letting a demon person bleed and having Ye Liuyun wrap the demon person's blood around his finger to try, it was still repelled by the formation.

On Ye Liuyun's side, he also made preparations: preparing to protect himself with Buddha Light, and preparing to forcibly break the formation with Technique. He even planned his escape route after entering.

But just then, a major discovery occurred in Ye Liuyun's Space World. It turned out that when Qiong Qi and the others were bleeding the demon person, those demon people were right beside the formation. At that time, no one noticed their expressions.

But suddenly, a demon person actually learned that formation. Those few demon people dug a pit underground, buried themselves in it, then used the formation to seal the pit's mouth, and then began digging a tunnel downward.

This excited the Formation Masters like Qiong Qi no end; they all tried various methods to break the formation. But after two days of tinkering, they also became disheartened.

Because the formation is not hard to crack, but no matter what method they used to break it, that demon person would immediately repair the damaged formation.

After obtaining this result, Ye Liuyun also asked Qiong Qi and them: "In other words, this formation is likely cast by a powerful demon person; only a demon person's bloodline can pass through it freely."

"And no matter what method I use to break the formation, will that demon person who cast it notice?"

"Exactly, that's the conclusion we've reached!" Qiong Qi also confirmed.

"Then let Lei Ming try using Technique to break the formation; I'll see the effect!"

Ye Liuyun saw that since it was unavoidable, he could only go head‑on, and using Technique to break the formation was the fastest method; even if that demon person discovered him after breaking through, he would still have some time to escape.

Lei Ming immediately fired Technique to break the formation. The result was that the formation's defensive ability was not strong either; in an instant, Technique melted a large hole through it, enough for one person to pass through easily.
