Chapter 828: This Little Old Man is Ruthless Enough

"What method?"

Jiang Ziya's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly.

Randeng Daoren wore a grave expression and said in a deep voice, "Sacrificing the Array to Dissipate Evil."

"Sacrificing the Array to Dissipate Evil."

Jiang Ziya repeated the phrase, somewhat understanding yet not quite.

Randeng Daoren explained, "Based on observations over this period, this poor Daoist has discovered that these Shidao Jiezhen have soaring baleful energy; it is precisely because this baleful energy is so heavy that the Ten Absolute Formations are so terrifyingly powerful. Therefore, in theory, as long as we use people to sacrifice to the array and neutralize a portion of the baleful energy, we can basically break the array with ease."

Put this way, Jiang Ziya understood.

To put it simply, it meant sending cannon fodder in to die first to weaken the power of the Array Formation, and then sending the main force to break the array.

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Ziya's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "How many people are needed to sacrifice to the array?"

Randeng Daoren deliberated and said, "In theory, each Array Formation requires one Golden Immortal to sacrifice to the array, though Mysterious Immortals can be substituted. But if using Mysterious Immortals, at least one hundred are needed. As for Heavenly Immortals, sending in as many as you like would be in vain."

Sending Golden Immortals to sacrifice to the array—that was certainly out of the question.

But if sending Mysterious Immortals, at one hundred per Array Formation, then the Ten Absolute Formations would require one thousand people.

One thousand Mysterious Immortals—this was no small number.

Fortunately, the one thousand Mysterious Immortals ordered by Yuanshi Tianzun to provide support had all arrived, and they had also brought tens of thousands of disciples at the Immortal Realm level or above; otherwise, the cannon fodder would truly not have been enough.

Jiang Ziya did not ponder much, his voice resolute: "Good, then we shall sacrifice to the array to dissipate evil."

In any case, for the sake of Yuanshi, paying some price was worth it.

The Chan Sect might not have many Golden Immortals, but it certainly did not lack Mysterious Immortals.

Randeng Daoren looked at Jiang Ziya and raised an eyebrow; this little old man's heart was ruthless enough.

However, since the other party was the Regional Commander and acting under the orders of Yuanshi Tianzun, then naturally whatever he said went, so he nodded and said, "Since it is decided, then please invite Chijingzi and the others to discuss it."

"Mm!"

Jiang Ziya nodded.

No sooner said than done, he immediately took out his Mobile Phone and sent a message to Chijingzi and the others.

……

Half an hour later.

The commander's tent.

The Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect were all gathered.

Jiang Ziya first recounted the matter of the Talisman Edict from Yuanshi Tianzun, then spoke of Randeng Daoren's strategy, and finally said, "Fellow senior brothers, what are your thoughts?"

Huanglong Zhenren said carelessly, "This poor Daoist thinks it is feasible. Not to mention the Master's Talisman Edict, if we do not do this, it would take us at least several thousand years to break the Ten Absolute Formations. By that time, who knows how many generations of the Human Emperor the Yin Shang would have gone through."

Chijingzi and the others also nodded one after another.

In any case, it was only some Mysterious Immortals who would die, and the Chan Sect would not feel the pain.

Yunzhongzi, however, frowned slightly; although he did not approve of this method, he did not step forward to oppose it.

To break the array quickly, these sacrifices were unavoidable.

"Good!"

Jiang Ziya clapped his hands, a sharp glint erupting in his eyes, and he said loudly, "This matter is settled then. However, for the subsequent breaking of the array, I will have to trouble you, senior brothers."

Although Chijingzi and the others felt somewhat guilty, they also knew they could not shirk it.

Next, everyone looked at Randeng Daoren, asking how one should 'sacrifice to the array to dissipate evil,' as breaking the array was not as simple as just sending cannon fodder in to die.

Randeng Daoren was naturally forthcoming, explaining in detail.

……

The next day.

The desolate sound of horns shattered the dawn, echoing between Heaven and Earth.

The Loose Immortals lying in wait were all startled, and there were also a large number of people in the surrounding void who had come to watch the excitement.

"After more than half a year, Xiqi has finally dispatched troops again. Could it be that they have already thought of a way to break the array?"

"This is the Ten Absolute Formations of the Jie Sect, personally passed down by the Tongtian Saint; even if a Great Luo entered, it would be dangerously unpredictable. It is impossible for them to have thought of a way to break the array so quickly." "Perhaps they sought help from the Yuanshi Saint, and have mastered a way to break the array."

"Regardless of how, let's just watch the show."

……

The crowd discussed it heatedly, and one after another opened their Mobile Phones to livestream.

Soon, they saw the Xiqi army leave the camp, but this time there were only one hundred thousand troops, marching imposingly to the front of the array.

The mobilization of the Xiqi army had long since alerted Sishui Pass.

Qin Wan and the others all moved out, arriving in front of the Array Formation, waiting for the Xiqi army to approach.

In front of the Heavenly Absolute Formation.

Qin Wan stood on a high platform, in high spirits, and said loudly, "Chan Sect rats, who dares to come and break the array?"

On the command platform, Jiang Ziya looked toward the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... book....!

"This poor Daoist will come."

Chijingzi shouted, stepped into the void, and then said loudly, "Zhao Feng, Deng Hua, Chen Min... you all follow this poor Daoist to break the array and slay this villain."

He listed the names of a hundred people in a row, all of the Mysterious Immortal rank.

"As you command."

One hundred Mysterious Immortals flew out from the crowd and stood behind Chijingzi.

Qin Wan revealed a contemptuous smile: "Don't say just you, even if you added another hundred, so what? If you want to break this poor Daoist's Heavenly Absolute Formation, unless you are of the Quasi-Saint rank, otherwise even a Peak Great Luo would have to drink hatred here."

After speaking, he turned around and stepped into the Array Formation in one stride.

To unleash the maximum power of the Array Formation, he still needed to personally sit in command and preside over the changes of the Array Formation.

"Go!"

Chijingzi shouted sharply, leading one hundred Mysterious Immortals as they charged into the Heavenly Absolute Formation.

The Heavenly Absolute Formation had its own internal world, vast and boundless, as if it were the time when Heaven and Earth first opened; it was filled with a desolate color, and the sky was gray and hazy, as if it were about to collapse.

At the edges of this world stood three poles that reached Tongtian and Forbidden Land, with large banners fluttering upon them, moving without wind.

The Heavenly Absolute Formation had not yet been activated, but the terrifying baleful aura and murderous intent already made the hair on Chijingzi and the others stand on end, as if some great terror was brewing between Heaven and Earth.

But matters had reached this point, and everyone could only bite the bullet.

The crowd took out their own Dharma treasures one after another, which were basically all Medium-grade Post-celestial Spiritual Treasures.

Qin Wan stood in the Xukong Sword Sword Sword Sword, his voice filled with pride and arrogance as he loudly said: "This array was once derived by my master from the numbers of the Innate Stage; it obtains Innate clear Qi, contains the mechanism of Chaos within, and has the Three-Headed Banner in the center, arranged according to the three talents of Heaven, Earth, and Man, all merging into one Qi.

Once the Array Formation is in operation, the space between Heaven and Earth will be filled with Thunder.

Even a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be reduced to powder beneath this Thunder.

Since my Heavenly Absolute Formation reached the Great Completion Stage, it has never been deployed; Chijingzi, you shall be the first soul to perish in this array.

Array Formation, rise!"

Speaking to the end, Qin Wan shouted, his hands forming Dharma seals as he struck out streaks of Immortal Light toward the surroundings.

Boom—!

As the Array Formation operated, endless Innate clear Qi burst forth, and after being transformed by the three large banners, it instantly turned into a sky full of Thunder, striking toward Chijingzi and his group like raindrops.

Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, Jade Clarity Divine Thunder, Supreme Clarity Divine Thunder, Mysterious Yin Divine Thunder, Primordial Immortal Thunder, Jia Wood Heavenly Thunder, and so on—all kinds of Thunder, countless in number, instantly turned the Heavenly Absolute Formation into an ocean of Thunder.

Just as Qin Wan activated the Array Formation, Chijingzi also took action.

He used his divine sense to notify the hundred Mysterious Immortals, then surged his magic power to send them to their respective key positions.

"Hold on for the time it takes for one stick of incense to burn, and I will be able to break the array."

As soon as the hundred Mysterious Immortals landed in their positions, endless Thunder struck down from the sky; although they were terrified in their hearts, Chijingzi's words gave them great encouragement.

Thus, they frantically urged their magic power, using their Spirit Treasures to resist the sky full of Thunder.

It was just that Chijingzi had deceived them, and they had also overestimated their own strength.

Under the successive strikes of Thunder, let alone holding on for the time of one stick of incense, they did not even last for one minute before being reduced to ashes amidst the bolts of Thunder; screams rang out incessantly, and then their True Spirits rushed out of the Array Formation and flew toward the Fengshen Platform.
