Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 363 - 243: Slaughter by Formation

The sky was bright and clear as if washed, yet it revealed the face of a young man, his eyes streaming down, reflecting all the palaces, walls, and rockeries below.

Shangguan Yun gazed at that familiar young face, his Tao Heart collapsed.

The ’Cave Mansion Realm’ within the Hero King’s body had surprisingly become Chen Ku’s private domain; the reason was already very clear.

Chen Ku found the ’Central Hall’ that could control and contain the entire Hero King Realm and refined the Array Suppression Stone.

That renowned Qi Cultivator from Yuan Country, Yelev Xuandu, at this moment, also lost much of the brilliance in his eyes, involuntarily let out a sorrowful sigh:

"It’s regretful to weave a golden line every year, only to make a wedding dress for others."

Upon hearing Yelev Xuandu’s words, Shangguan Yun felt darkness before his eyes, wasn’t this a depiction of his life’s half journey.

Yet swiftly,

he sought in his mind for possible counterattacks, and finally thought of something, his eyes rekindled with hope, saying:

"It’s not over yet, although he has temporarily refined and mastered the whole Hero King Realm, the Void Sky Treasure Box has not yet manifested, and many palaces in the Cave Mansion Realm require a token to enter. Moreover... the existence of the Stone Egg is such that even if he refined the whole Hero King Realm, there’s currently no way to confront or resolve this immortal treasure."

Shangguan Yun said to Yelev Xuandu: "Real person, we still have a chance, as long as he hasn’t found a way to solve the Stone Egg issue, we can turn the tables, possess the Stone Egg for rebirth, and then seize the entire Hero King Realm from his hands."

Yelev Xuandu heard this but could not raise his interest, saying: "As you said, this Stone Egg requires at least nine people to fill the caves to be reborn. Now that the Hero King Realm is under his control, he just needs to block the gate and prevent anyone from entering. We’ve already become prisoners, and if this continues, with the waxing and waning, how much chance is there for victory."

Nearby, Shan Lingguan in one of the other two cave openings heard this and laughed heartily, saying to Yelev Xuandu: "You foreign Qi Cultivator, you are quite sensible, since you see it clearly, then better submit early to my good disciple, when my disciple makes a great achievement, it’s possible to grant you a position."

Although Chen Ku currently has a mid-Fifth Realm cultivation, he carries such remarkable qualifications, and now can be considered to have initially grasped the Hero King’s treasures.

In Shan Lingguan’s eyes, his good disciple, based on this foundation, could achieve unparalleled feats in the future, even being crowned king and splitting lands.

Qin Yuxian also deeply agreed.

From the mouth of the Mountain-Lifting Heavenly King Xiong Ying, personally acknowledging the junior brother’s qualifications as a superior talent, which is what the Jianghu Martial World refers to as ’super-grade qualifications.’

What is superior talent? It is a talent that can reach at least the Eighth Realm of Marrow Cleansing even with closed eyes during cultivation.

Given time, Chen Ku will be able to fully digest and master everything about the Hero King’s treasure, commanding from above the Eighth Realm—a foundation of at least the Tenth Realm cultivation.

The Tenth Realm!

That is a figure so great that even the Qiu Dragon Mansion cannot contain, and if he goes further, he might dominate a state.

What concept is this?

When the Ten Great Rebel Kings rose up, most of their initial bases were just one state and one prefecture!

On the snow-capped mountain summit, within the stone egg, four people saw Chen Ku’s face on the sky curtain.

A few others elsewhere also realized a significant change.

"Damn it! We came with perfect timing, not even a sip from the Hero King treasure, but got trapped in this Cave Mansion Realm."

The Piao Gao Preacher who entered here alongside Peace Path leader Xu En turned grim-faced, looking at Xu En, said:

"Sect Leader, come up with a plan quickly, or we really might become prisoners of that pharmacy boy."

A Peace Path leader and an outer divine spirit, both great abilities of the Six or Seventh Realm, yet trapped by such a Fifth Realm youngster like Chen Ku. Not only would they be laughed at, but how will the grand plans of Peace Path be realized?

Xu En’s scalp also tingled, but he did not sit idly by, releasing his Yin God from his body, searching for the weak spots within the Cave Mansion Realm.

Then, a familiar voice came from afar:

"Peace Sect Leader, Zhang is here, this Cave Mansion Realm might not be entirely invulnerable. I know your Peace Path has means to communicate with the void, please quickly find the weak spot of the void, Zhang can join forces with you, create a breach, and escape together."

Xu En looked at the voice, only to see a figure not far away, wearing a mask, tall and slender in form, limbs long.

When the figure appeared, it was still three or four miles away.

In one breath, it appeared a yard in front of them.

Such speed, it’s as if coming and going without a trace!

It was indeed the Seventh Realm expert from Han Shou Marquis Mansion who cooperated to abduct Tan Chongrui that night.

The Piao Gao Preacher was overjoyed at the sight of the visitor: "Good good good, this gentleman has arrived just in time, Sect Leader quickly employ the ’Heavenly Peeping Technique’, as soon as you find the weak spot, I can join you in action, the nine swords in the sword box of that Dugu family lad are extraordinary materials, when combined, could become a divine weapon and should surely prove useful!"

"Hold on, let me just use the mystical skill."

Yet the Peace Sect Leader saw to it that the Yin God was suspended in mid-air, hands forming seals, expression indifferent, and then at the center of his brow, a crack appeared, forming a gaze, sweeping across the surrounding void roundly.

But just when he used the Heavenly Peeping Technique from the Nine Heavens Divine Spell to find weak points.

Suddenly felt something, saw Chen Ku on the sky curtain observing their actions, then his voice descended from the heavenly dome:

"Regardless of whether all of you truly have the ability to shatter the void of a Fifteenth Realm existence’s cave mansion, acting so brazenly, you really have no regard for me, Chen Ku."

In the massive underground chamber, Chen Ku looked at the miniature figures within the bonsai landscape, which were even smaller than ants, and chuckled lightly:

"Since all of you want to challenge yourselves, why not first try the might of the ’Eight Gates Shocking Array’ of the Shocking God Heavenly King?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

As soon as he finished speaking.

The expressions of the Peace Sect Leader, the expert surnamed Zhang, and the Piao Gao Preacher within the Hero King Realm changed drastically.

Swoosh~~

Meanwhile, at the peak of the Snow Mountain, Shangguan Yun clearly felt that his Command Cloud Flag could no longer control the Cloud Pendant Formation.

The endless array patterns of cloud and mist were instantly forcibly seized by Chen Ku from the sky with the higher authority status of a ’Cave Mansion Master.’

Boom!!

Suddenly, the boundless heavenly dome above the heads of the three leaders began to press down towards the ground.

Simultaneously, the earth beneath their feet began to churn.

From all directions, gale winds suddenly arose, with the Gang Wind like a Thousand Knives Shredding Technique, rushing to kill the three of them.

The gathering clouds and mist formed a ’Maze,’ making them unable to distinguish their positions.

At the same time, there was a dragon roar in the east, a tiger howl in the west, a bird cry in the south, and a snake coil in the west...

This was precisely within the Eight Gates Shocking Array:

Heaven Covering Formation, Earth Carrying Formation, Wind Raising Formation, Cloud Pendant Formation, Dragon Flying Formation, Tiger Wing Formation, Bird Flying Formation, Snake Coiling Formation!

A total of eight large formations.

Simultaneously, they pressed down on the Peace Path leader, the Piao Gao Preacher, and the expert surnamed Zhang.

"Not good!"

Although the three prided themselves as top experts within the Qiu Dragon Mansion territory, they had never seen such a spectacle. The Eight Gates Shocking Array was once used by the Hero King to conquer the east and west, a legendary formation to decide the world.

Even a single formation among them could rival tens of thousands of soldiers, easily trapping experts like Shan Lingguan and Qin Yuxian.

Not to mention, the Eight Gates Shocking Array is arranged according to ’Birth, Injury, Rest, Barrier, Scene, Death, Shock, Open.’ If all eight gates opened together, the power would increase by several dozen times!

"Ah!!"

In an instant, the body possessed by the Peace Path Leader was shredded into pieces by the terrifying wind blades and cloud swords, leaving only the Yin God darting through the void, evading other formations!

Meanwhile, the expert surnamed Zhang from Marquis of Han Shou’s Mansion, unable to fly for long, felt the power of ’changing heaven and earth’ as soon as the Heaven Covering Formation and Earth Carrying Formation pressed down on him, like the heavens and earth closing, covering him like a massive millstone.

As the two great formations turned above and below his body, the terrifying array power activated, making this masked man look like a grain of a soybean in a millstone...

"Ah! Chen Ku! Don’t think that by controlling the Eight Gates Shocking Array, you can easily annihilate us and win in the end! The secret of the Hero King Treasure is something the entire Daji Dynasty pursues. How can a mere pharmacy boy like you manage it! Even though I might die, the news of the treasure has already spread to the outside world. If you’re the only one alive returning outside, the entire world will hunt you down—marquises, the royal family, everyone won’t let you go!"

The expert surnamed Zhang roared before his death.

Yet he faced the great array with no room for resistance. As the array ground on, his body was instantly wiped out by the Heaven Covering and Earth Carrying Formations.

[The Diagram Master killed Zhang Yulin, obtaining a strand of Seventh Realm Evil Qi]

Just as Chen Ku thought he could eradicate all three in one fell swoop, he noticed that the Piao Gao Preacher, like Xu En, had willingly abandoned Dugu Wuer’s body, transforming into a mass of Yin God thoughts to evade the array’s slaughter.

Without the shackles of a physical body, these two cultivators of the divine soul discipline in the six and seventh realm squirmed through the air like slippery fish in water.

Although they couldn’t break out of the formation’s confines, the formation couldn’t harm them temporarily either.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ku chuckled lightly from the sky, saying:

"Both of you are quite skilled. But as I’ve heard, divine soul cultivators cannot maintain their existence for long without a host object to sustain themselves. How long can you last this way?"

Seeing their actions, Chen Ku also chose to shift Dugu Wuer’s body out of the Eight Gates Array, denying the two a chance to ’return the validation,’ equivalent to cutting off their opportunity to regain a body.

"So ruthless at such a young age!"

Xu En gritted his teeth and cursed towards the sky:

"Just wait. Once the God of the Yellow Heaven descends, they’ll sense us, and by then... who knows whether you’ll be annihilated or we will!"

"We’ll see!" Chen Ku snorted coldly.

Immediately, he disappeared from the sky, and with a thought, he appeared at the top of the snow mountain.
