Chapter 1210: The Heavenly Court's Number One Formation Heavenly Lord (Fourth Update)
Qin Mu watched as six "large water droplets" descended. The moment the droplets detached from the land, the surfaces of the six droplets and the cubes within them instantly clanged and shifted, transforming in an instant into six divine cities that completely surrounded the Ark of the Other Shore!
As the droplets transformed into divine cities, the postures of the deities and demons within each cube immediately changed. The left hand formed a hand seal with the thumb pressing on the middle finger, while the other three fingers stood straight upright. The right hand clenched into a fist, with the thumb pressed into the center of the palm.
As the deities and demons within the cubes changed their postures, the Fortress Wall Formation also shifted accordingly. This was still somewhat different from Formation Master He Yiyi's formations.
He Yiyi's formations used stone blocks as the most basic elements. The cubic stone blocks were covered with various basic runes, and the runes on the cubes could not change. Different stone blocks were pieced together, and different basic runes were combined to form different formations.
The power of the Fortress Wall Formation lay in the fact that the most basic elements composing the formation were the deities and demons of the Fortress Wall Formation itself. Each deity and demon could change its own hand seals, physical form, and even its primordial energy imprint, thereby altering the structural composition of the Fortress Wall Formation. Using living deities and demons as the basic elements of the formation was far stronger than simply using cubic stone blocks!
At the center of each of the six divine cities stood a giant altar. Light shone from the center of the altars like pillars, shooting straight out to connect the six divine cities, binding them together into a cube!
The light shooting from the altars of the six divine cities took the form of chains, as if great Dao were interwoven together.
Boom!
Beams of light descended from the sky, landing at the center of the altars of the six divine cities, transforming into six deities and demons with identical appearances. They looked excitedly at Qin Mu and Emperor Shi Tian Li Youran—it was none other than Han Tianjun.
He had split into six, each one a true body, with no so-called avatars or clones.
Qin Mu stood on the platform of the Ark of the Other Shore, his gaze sweeping across them one by one. Every Han Tianjun possessed a spiritual fetus, a soul, a primordial spirit, divine hideaways, and a heavenly palace. His body was also very peculiar. He had a flesh-and-blood body, but his flesh and blood seemed to be composed of countless tiny cubes, as if they could scatter like sand at any moment and then reassemble into a physical form. His primordial spirit, divine hideaways, and heavenly palace also seemed capable of changing form and reassembling at any time.
"This Han Tianjun's techniques are truly bizarre."
Qin Mu was astonished. Han Tianjun was likely a grand formation master of the Heavenly Court, perhaps even someone on the verge of achieving the Heavenly Palace through formations, someone about to cultivate the Emperor's Throne through his formation mastery!
The Formation Heavenly Palace was one of the acquired great Dao heavenly palaces. Blind was a major expert in this field, and even he had only recently cultivated the Formation Heavenly Palace. Yet Han Tianjun had cultivated it long before Blind!
He simply hadn't cultivated the Emperor's Throne yet. However, judging by his cultivation level, he should be not far from the Emperor's Throne realm. His mastery of the Dao of formations was also basically sufficient to support his entry into the Emperor's Throne realm.
It was worth noting that even the four great Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Court hadn't achieved the Emperor's Throne through formations; they had entered that realm through their respective wisdom and achievements. Han Tianjun was very likely to become the first person to become an Emperor through formations.
"Does Han Tianjun not know that all the great Dao runes of Fortress Wall Star Lord have been deconstructed by the Dao Ancestor? His Fortress Wall Formation holds no secrets for me?"
Qin Mu's expression was strange. Although Han Tianjun's formations were exquisitely unparalleled, Qin Mu had cultivated all the various formation rune structures of the Fortress Wall Formation. Not only that, he had even broken down the great Dao runes of the Fortress Wall Formation!
In his eyes, even the vast divine cities were nothing more than this. Although Han Tianjun's formations were exquisite, they had been completely dismantled. Compared to Blind's method of entering the Dao through formations, they were already outdated!
The six Han Tianjuns grinned as they looked at the nearly complete Ark of the Other Shore, chuckling, "Today is truly my lucky day. Getting the Ark of the Other Shore will break the Void and the Land of No Worries—a merit that defies heaven! Killing Mu Tianzun is another merit that defies heaven! With these two great merits, my status could even surpass the Heavenly Masters and Heavenly Kings, making me one of the Three Dukes of the Heavenly Court!"
Suddenly, the six divine cities shook with a clatter, like a swarm of bees composed of countless cubes. In an instant, the deities and demons within the cubes changed their postures, hand seals, and rune imprints, and the basic structure of the formation immediately shifted!
The swarm formation, made of countless cubes, was infinitely mutable. Five of the swarms surged toward the Ark of the Other Shore, while the remaining one surged toward Qin Mu!
Han Tianjun placed more importance on Emperor Shi Tian and the Ark of the Other Shore. In his view, Emperor Shi Tian Li Youran was a peak Soaring the Clouds realm expert and a war heavenly king of the Kaihuang era. Emperor Shi Tian was powerful and had exceptional combat skills. Qin Mu, on the other hand, was still young. Despite his status as Mu Tianzun, his cultivation realm was right there. Using one divine city to deal with Qin Mu was already overestimating him.
Qin Mu looked at the countless cubic swarms rushing toward him. The deities and demons within the cubes changed their postures and hand seals, keeping the formation in a state of constant flux. One of the Han Tianjuns, like a queen bee surrounded by the swarm, stood with his hands behind his back on a platform formed by numerous cubes, directing the overall situation.
Whoosh—
The cubic swarm charged onto the Ark of the Other Shore. The rotating, shifting cubes carried the deities and demons forward. Wherever they passed, palaces, streets, cities, and even mountains and rivers on the Ark were all reduced to dust by the power of the formation!
Han Tianjun's formations were exceptionally ferocious, truly rare!
The cubic swarm drew closer and closer, forming an encirclement around Qin Mu. Qin Mu looked around and saw the deities and demons within each cube, like devout worshippers, methodically changing their hand seals, body postures, and primordial energy imprints. They were like worker bees, following the commands of Han Tianjun, the queen bee.
In an instant, the cubic swarm changed its formation thousands of times. Thousands of formation structures, none of them repeated, dazzled the eyes. Not to mention breaking the formation, even the structure of the formation itself was impossible to discern!
And Han Tianjun's abilities didn't stop there. Having entered the Dao through formations, he could, upon contact, instantly make corresponding formation changes based on the enemy's techniques and divine abilities!
He was getting closer and closer to Qin Mu, and the smile on his face grew wider.
This unparalleled merit was about to fall into his hands!
Just then, Qin Mu slowly raised his fist, spreading his five fingers: "Supreme Divine Consciousness!"
Han Tianjun's mind exploded. He immediately felt a vast, supreme divine consciousness, like a force of destruction, shatter his own divine consciousness, severing his connection with the deities and demons in each cube!
The cubic swarm converged. In an instant, a killing formation formed around Han Tianjun!
Han Tianjun was horrified. He saw that the deities and demons of the Fortress Wall Formation had, at this moment, fallen under the control of Qin Mu's powerful divine consciousness!
The power of the killing formation erupted in an instant!
Han Tianjun's physical body swelled wildly, its structure changing frantically as he tried to withstand the onslaught of the Fortress Wall Formation. But in the next moment, his body exploded, his primordial spirit burst apart, and his divine hideaways and heavenly palace were destroyed and disintegrated by the terrifying power!
"Mu Tianzun, I underestimated you! But it won't happen again!"
The exploded Han Tianjun suddenly shattered into countless pieces, turning into bloody mist that shot up from the Fortress Wall Formation. Then, the countless tiny cubes within the mist reassembled in the air, about to reform his body!
At that moment, Qin Mu's figure suddenly appeared before him. His body shook, manifesting three heads and six arms. His six hands moved in a blur, instantly imprinting countless rune marks into Han Tianjun's forming body.
