A young daughter just beginning to bloom
The array dao that Wuji Heavenly Emperor excelled in, when cultivated to its peak, became derivation—the derivation of all heavenly array dao. And this Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation, its essence was also derivation. This Heavenly Derivation Array Dao was a weakened version of the Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation, but it still focused primarily on derivation.
According to Wuji Heavenly Emperor's own divine mind memories, his abilities were originally obtained from the Tian Yan Holy Clan of Sky-Gazing Ancient Capital. The two were likely inseparably connected.
At this moment, the entire massive chess game was presented in Lin Feng's mind. Every single chess piece seemed to fall within his sight. Any array dao that could be broken would inevitably have flaws. Formations were carved by people, and moreover, the one who carved the formation might have left a path to break it. Otherwise, why would the Tian Yan Holy Clan need to carve that Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation?
"Langxie, can you walk the chess game once?" Lin Feng's eyes opened, landing on Langxie as he spoke.
Langxie's expression froze slightly, and he looked at Lin Feng with considerable surprise. However, he still nodded, stepped forward, and began walking on the chessboard. With each step he took, the chess game derived powerful attacks. As he progressed further, the attacks became increasingly dense (mìjí), and even with Langxie's realm light, he couldn't withstand them. He had no choice but to step down from the chessboard.
"How was it?" Langxie asked Lin Feng.
"This chess game cannot be broken by one person alone," Lin Feng said, causing everyone to look at him.
"Perhaps four people could enter the chess game simultaneously, and they must be skilled in formations, entering from the four corners," Lin Feng slowly explained. "When you all were testing the formation earlier, you should have noticed that the closer you got to the center of the chessboard, the denser the derived attacks became. Therefore, perhaps the key to this formation is for four people to enter from four directions, constantly changing the formation foundations of those four directions—that is, all the chess pieces—until the power of the formation at the center of the chessboard continuously weakens. By the time all four people reach the center of the chessboard, the formation may already be broken."
Many people had already tested the formation. Observing their attempts, Lin Feng found that this method seemed to be the only feasible way to break it.
This Minor Heavenly Derivation Array Dao could be experimented with, allowing continuous exploration to find a way to break it. However, the Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation was not so simple. No one dared to try it, or they might face certain death, and nothing could be tested from it. No one knew how similar this formation was to the Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation.
"Ignorant child, how dare you speak nonsense about breaking the formation." A Martial Emperor formation master from the Sun Saint Clan swept his cold gaze over Lin Feng. They, the experts skilled in formations, hadn't figured out how to break it, yet Lin Feng was chattering away, making them lose face.
"This formation is derived from the Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation. If you could easily know how to break it, then the Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation would be easily broken as well." Another expert who had spoken earlier also said a word. He had been cautious in his words and actions, never discussing how to break the formation. How dare Lin Feng claim he had a method to break it? Ridiculous. What did that make their earlier words?
"Would you dare to test the Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation?" Lin Feng's gaze swept over that expert as he said coldly. This person was utterly brazen. Testing the Heavenly Derivation Grand Formation would be suicide. That was why the grand formation still stood at the former site of the Tian Yan Holy Clan, with no one daring to break it.
"Hmph, this array dao isn't something you can handle with just your glib tongue." That person snorted coldly.
"Knowing neither heaven nor earth. I have immersed myself in array dao for decades. How old are you, to dare point fingers here?" The formation expert from the Sun Saint Clan sneered.
Yang Yan smiled faintly and said, "This person truly doesn't know his place."
Lin Feng's gaze swept over them, and then his figure flickered. His body landed directly in the chess game, causing a brilliant light to burst forth as all the chess pieces floated up.
"Array dao ability cannot be measured by cultivation time. Can the strength of martial artists be measured by cultivation time? You are all Martial Emperor experts, but the words you speak are laughable." Lin Feng stood on the chessboard, his gaze sweeping over them. "As for whether it's just glib talk or genuine array dao ability, come up and test it. Why bother acting old and arrogant down there?"
"What an ignorant person."
"Arrogant."
Those Martial Emperor experts, seeing Lin Feng so insolent, couldn't help but shout in reprimand. This fellow was actually lecturing all of them.
"Go. If you get the chance, kill him." Yang Yan said to the Martial Emperor beside him, staring coldly at Lin Feng. This fool was asking for death. If he was killed through array dao, it would be his own doing.
"Mm." That person nodded, then stepped forward and also descended onto the chessboard. Sure enough, when he landed on the chessboard, the pieces did not derive sacred light attacks.
"Boom!" The Martial Emperor from the Sun Saint Clan stomped heavily on the chessboard, causing sacred mark lights to flicker incessantly in the void. But the force of that stomp seemed to change the path of the sacred marks, causing an attack to suddenly blast toward Lin Feng.
"Indeed, when someone skilled in formations steps on it, it's different. They can communicate with the array dao and borrow its power." The crowd observed this and murmured to themselves. But they saw Lin Feng close his eyes, and instantly, all the chess pieces seemed to float in his mind.
He took two steps sideways, light patterns shimmering. Lin Feng stomped on the chessboard, and a terrifying light burst from the ground ahead. With a booming explosion, it precisely struck the attack guided by the opponent.
"He memorized how all the chess pieces combine to form the formation." Qing Feng looked at Lin Feng. In her mind, there was also a chess game. She was secretly shocked. Lin Feng's simple two sideways steps were too exquisite. They precisely guided the attack ahead to intercept the opponent's attack while cutting off other interwoven formations. Someone unskilled in formations could never do this; they could only endure the formation's attacks head-on.
"Hmph." The opponent snorted coldly, continuously stepping forward. Sacred marks went wild, combining into various forces, guided by him to blast toward Lin Feng.
This person had immersed himself in array dao for decades and was no mediocre talent. Otherwise, he couldn't have reached this level.
"Boom!" Lin Feng stomped heavily on the ground. Sacred light interwove, and the chess pieces seemed to serve him. A massive light pattern directly appeared, exploding outward from him as the center, destroying everything, blocking all attacks.
"Trying to kill me!" Lin Feng's heart was cold. The opponent's guided formation attacks were all lethal.
"Just mere profound meaning power, and you dare to be arrogant?" That Martial Emperor snorted coldly. Flame law power spread out. He stepped forward cautiously, causing light patterns in the void to shine brightly, guiding various attack sacred lights mixed with the formations he carved himself to blast toward Lin Feng.
"What a marvelous chess game. What formidable formation ability." The crowd's hearts trembled. This chess game could not only derive on its own but also be borrowed by formation masters for power. Truly exquisite and infinite.
Lin Feng had long discovered the marvels of this chess game. He wondered who had carved it.
Seeing the fire dragon light patterns twisting and killing toward him ahead, Lin Feng took three steps left, two steps back, then one step right, continuously stepping as fast as lightning. Others couldn't see the subtlety of his formation steps at all. They only saw terrifying forces wildly exploding ahead. Lin Feng advanced through this explosion, stepping forward, with destructive light interweaving on the chessboard, incorporating each chess piece into it.
"Kill!" Lin Feng roared, stepping forward madly. His exquisite steps were too fast for the eyes to catch. The opponent stepped forward, but the moment he did, he found that a step to his left was struck by an attack. His expression changed slightly. Sure enough, violent forces suddenly erupted around him, causing his face to change drastically. Attacks from all directions madly twisted and killed toward him, leaving him no time to respond with array dao.
Terrifying flames suddenly exploded. That person's body radiated powerful law force. Sun fists blasted in all directions, annihilating everything. The power of this formation was limited, so it couldn't kill him. After breaking through the attacks, his body leaped, charging straight at Lin Feng to kill him with pure strength.
"Despicable." A cold gleam flashed in Qing Feng's eyes, but her body didn't move. A low-rank Emperor wanting to kill Lin Feng was no easy task.
"Hmph." Langxie also snorted coldly. That Martial Emperor was too useless. But he hadn't expected Lin Feng to have such attainments in array dao. This chess game seemed to be a battlefield prepared for formation masters. On it, Lin Feng's performance was nothing short of stunning.
Lin Feng's figure retreated like the wind. His eyes were still closed. Every step he took landed on the chessboard, causing sacred light to surge. Endless attacks were guided to blast toward the opponent, causing that Martial Emperor's expression to darken. Sun fist rays continuously bombarded the incoming attacks.
Lin Feng's steps suddenly stopped retreating and instead advanced forward. Each step interwove terrifying patterns, causing the light patterns around the Sun Saint Clan expert to wildly explode, overwhelming him.
Lin Feng began to circle around the opponent, stepping continuously. Endless attacks gave the opponent no chance to catch his breath, dazzling the surrounding crowd. At this moment, Lin Feng seemed like a madman, stepping back and forth with exquisite subtlety. Even Lin Feng himself was immersed in this pleasure. Everything was clearly emerging (fúxiàn) in his mind, under his control. This feeling was very comfortable, as if his comprehension was sublimating. From the initial difficulty, he became increasingly adept.
A round of sun light exploded, blasting everything apart. That Martial Emperor's body shot up into the air, trying to break through the attacks from above and escape. But just as he soared into the air and waved his hand to wipe away a group of attacks, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly snapped open. An incredibly terrifying palm force blasted out, exploding in an instant.
"Crack!" The crowd saw the opponent's head directly explode. Their hearts suddenly pounded, as if they hadn't realized what had happened. Then they felt the law power beginning to dissipate—the power of flame law!
