Yi Yan slightly raised his hands, seeming slow but actually holding fast in front of him. The golden and silver colored energy surged out from his hands, condensing into a rapidly spinning Taiji Fish.

The purple lightning smashed right into the center of the Taiji Fish, causing it to slightly pause for a moment. In an instant, the Taiji Fish began to spin even more frantically as streams of thunder and lightning energy were drawn out and merged into the Taiji Fish.

Although he managed to block off the lightning's attack, Yi Yan's body was instantly smashed down from the sky by a massive force, which was tens of thousands of meters above. With a speed even faster than when he was rushing up, he smashed into the ground!

While urging the Taiji Fish in his hand to spin at a high speed, Yi Yan tried his best to control the blade to stabilize his body.

Finally, when he was only a few dozen meters from the ground, Yi Yan stopped his downward momentum.

At this time, the frightening deep purple colored lightning had already been completely absorbed by the Taiji Fish in Yi Yan's hands, disappearing without trace.

It was a bit rash this time.

Yi Yan who was stabilizing his body could not help but blame himself in his heart.

In order to verify what he had comprehended in the Qin Mountains, Yi Yan had planned to use Tai Ji's force dissipation method to lure the lightning away.

However, just as the lightning was about to make contact with the Taiji Fish, a thought flashed across Yi Yan's mind: Since the yin yang energy is the most powerful energy in the universe, second only to the life and death energy, then can it absorb other energy for its own use?

Once this idea appeared, it became uncontrollable. Furthermore, Yi Yan was left with no time to think about the situation at that time, gritting his teeth as he charged forward.

Fortunately, Yi Yan's idea had succeeded.

Although he was almost severely injured, Yi Yan felt that it was worth it, because he found a shortcut to quickly increase his own strength.

Right now, Yi Yan's mental cultivation was sufficient, the only thing restricting his strength was the energy in his body, if he could use this method to constantly absorb the energy in the nature, he could predict that his cultivation would quickly rise!

What made Yi Yan even happier was that Yi Yan had finally verified that the Secular Realm's martial arts had been modified and could be used by cultivators!

Unlike cultivators, mortals, due to the limitation of their energy, could only constantly increase the power of their moves in order to enhance their combat strength.

The moves that Yi Yan had learned were all the essence left behind by the thousands of years of tempering and tempering by various sects and schools. It could even be said that they had reached the limit of a Secular Realm martial art.

After going through Yi Yan's wholehearted and dedicated dismantling combination, even if he was cultivating as a mortal, if he cultivated to the peak, he could still reach the realm of martial dao!

After filling up one's moves with Genuine Elemental Energy, being used by the hands of a cultivator would also possess a great amount of power.

Although it was still incomplete and could not be used in the battle of cultivators, it was still difficult in the beginning. As long as he could determine the direction, unswervingly continue forward, Yi Yan believed that one day, through continuous application and refinement, he would be able to create a set of martial arts techniques developed from mortal martial arts!

At that time, his close combat capabilities would not lose to ordinary martial cultivators. His long ranged attacks would have the power of yin and yang, a top-notch power that surpassed Genuine Elemental Energy s, and it would be difficult to find a match for someone of the same level. Even if it was one stage higher than him, Yi Yan was confident that he could fight it!

Thinking of this, Yi Yan fiercely gripped his sword in his hand and revealed a deep determination and hope for the future.

Although he had a strong confidence in himself, Yi Yan knew very well that no matter what happened, he could not let his guard down. A moment of carelessness might cause him to pay the price with his life.

Restraining the excitement in his heart, Yi Yan raised his head and looked towards the sky.

At this point of time, the surrounding soldiers had already been struck into disarray by the lightning that shot out from the black clouds. Yi Yan did not place them in his eyes at all.

Tens of thousands meters in the air, the dark clouds that had covered half of the sky seemed to have consumed too much energy from the deep purple lightning, and were now only the size of a millstone.

Yi Yan was also not willing to wait any longer, he raised his hand to stop Tang Dao, and used the most powerful technique of the《 Seven Deadly Art》, and slashed out with both of his hands.

A crescent-shaped saber light instantly separated from the saber and slashed at the feeble dark clouds in the sky.

< p > "Chi"

With a crisp sound, a golden and silver colored saber light flashed across the dark cloud and cut the cloud in half.

In a flash, the Yin-Yang energy pulled the lightning energy from the two parts of the dark clouds towards the crack in the middle.

< p > "Ka La!"

An explosive sound could be heard as the lightning and thunder energies from the two black clouds clashed against each other. The violent explosion from the collision had completely dispersed the black clouds.

However, this explosion seemed to have triggered some sort of mechanism, as a drastic change occurred in Yi Yan's surroundings.

At this moment, Yi Yan was standing atop a sea. A three hundred meter tall wave was smashing towards him, as if it would not rest until Yi Yan had been smashed to smithereens.

Yi Yan was already prepared for this. The black cloud from before was the core of the support for the previous scene.

Now, Yi Yan was even more curious about the thing that the Magic Array was trying to hide.

It could be seen that this Magic Array had existed for countless years, and there were many places where it did not have enough energy. That was why Yi Yan was able to see through its weak points.

It could be imagined how powerful it would be when the formation was fully activated at its peak. At least, with Yi Yan's current state, he would definitely not dare to challenge it.

How could such a tight defensive formation be ordinary?

Since he had already seen through the Magic Array, Yi Yan didn't linger any longer and rushed out with his blade in hand.

But strangely, Yi Yan's flight path was not a straight line, but instead a zigzag trajectory. Sometimes he would fly in a sudden turn to the side, sometimes he would fly straight through the ocean waves, and sometimes he would even turn around and fly back. It was truly incomprehensible.

However, if one were to look from outside the Magic Array, they would suddenly realize: The tortuous flight path was caused by the Magic Array's influence, and in actuality, Yi Yan was following a straight path forward!

Not long later, Yi Yan stopped at a huge whirlpool that was violently sweeping in a radius of several tens of kilometers, and dived in without hesitation.

Just as Yi Yan touched the surging waves surrounding the whirlpool, it was as if he was electrocuted. Yi Yan's figure suddenly turned, forcefully stopping his movement as he moved to the side as much as he could, until the whirlpool could no longer be seen. Only then did Yi Yan carefully land on the ground.

Right at the moment when Yi Yan's feet touched the ground, the endless ocean suddenly shrank back, and the scene before his eyes changed back into the dense forest.

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Yi Yan knew that he had already passed through the outer ring of Magic Array and entered the core that was tightly guarded by the Magic Array.

Yi Yan was a little eager, and didn't know what kind of surprise the mysterious place that was protected so closely could bring him.

Yi Yan put away his blade and looked around carefully.

This was a small, calabash shaped valley surrounded by a large mountain. The valley was wide at both ends and narrow in the middle.

He raised his eyes and saw a thin layer of mist drifting leisurely around him. Through the mist, he could vaguely see the endless mountain walls in the distance.

The gloomy forest outside was bright with sunlight. The warm sunlight passed through the gaps between the treetops and embraced the land without reservation.

The surrounding was no longer deathly still outside the Magic Array, and the sounds of the Bug Songbirds floated in his ears, causing him to be unable to help from relaxing his mind, and he wholeheartedly enjoyed this pure and natural scenery.

However, Yi Yan didn't dare to relax his guard at all, and started to carefully size up the lake in front of him. The lake's two ends were close to the mountain cliff, and they stood at the waist of the valley, slicing the calabash shaped valley in half.

The water was clear and green. The surface of the lake was rippling under the influence of the gentle breeze. There was nothing abnormal about it.

However, Yi Yan still did not dare to let his guard down, because he knew that this small lake was the boundless ocean that he had just seen in the illusion.

It turned out that the huge whirlpool was a whirlpool formed in the middle of the lake. That whirlpool was also the core of the Magic Array's defense.

Just as Yi Yan touched the whirlpool and passed through the Magic Array, an extremely condensed killing intent fiercely pierced the drop of his soul!

This murderous aura was not only extremely sharp, but it also held the perfect timing.

To pass through the Magic Array outside, one would have to come into contact with the gigantic whirlpool, and launch an attack against the soul the instant the situation underwent a drastic change.

This was not a simple Magic Array at all, but a top tier composite killing array!

The huge and complicated Magic Array were only used to confuse intruders, but the real killing intent arrived when their minds were at their most relaxed. It was really dangerous to the extreme!

Yi Yan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, his soul had already condensed into a droplet shape, so he was able to resist this killing intent.

The thoughts of the formation's creator were extremely meticulous.

Actually, what Yi Yan did not notice was that when that murderous aura was about to reach the drop of his soul, the Life And Death Taiji Fish floating above the drop of his soul suddenly accelerated its rotation speed, and shot out an energy that was wrapped by the power of life and death, instantly shattering the killing intent to pieces.

It was only when Yi Yan was suddenly attacked that his first reaction was to quickly change his direction and avoid the area covered by the whirlpool, which was why he did not notice this change.

The killing intent from before was too sudden for Yi Yan to realise where it came from, but now, Yi Yan was trying really hard to find it.

Only by finding the source of the killing intent would he be able to completely destroy this formation.

It was obvious that the murderous aura was well-hidden. After that one attack, it had stopped moving.

Everything around him was normal, but it was precisely this sort of normalcy that caused Yi Yan to be even more cautious.

The principle behind formations was to attract the natural energy of the world for one's own use. The higher the grade of a formation, the more untraceable it was.

Although he couldn't find the source of the killing intent at the moment, it was very clear that it was hidden in the vicinity of the lake.

Yi Yan had used his Spiritual Sense to check the valley on his side. There was nothing wrong with it. Apparently, the guardian formation was on the other side of the lake.

The air above the lake seemed to have frozen over as his consciousness weakened greatly with every step forward. Even with Yi Yan's Spiritual Sense, he was only able to probe around a third of the lake's width.
