Chapter 3750: Devour It Directly
The spatial structure of the entire Heavenly Court was extremely stable, making it very difficult to tear open.
Even if torn open, the corresponding Void World had been layered with countless arrangements, making it impossible for any deity to secretly infiltrate the Heavenly Court from the Void World, or to escape from the Heavenly Court into the Void World.
Mount Buzhou was undoubtedly one of the places in the entire Heavenly Court with the most stable spatial structure.
But at this moment, Mount Buzhou was filled with space rifts stretching thousands of miles. The rifts connected to the Void World, where a destructive storm of power surged, flashing with purple and red light.
Void Heaven's sword strike had not only shattered space but also left a sword scar tens of thousands of miles long on Mount Buzhou, like a chasm in the earth, bottomless.
Such a scene was shocking, as if the eternally unshakeable divine mountain was about to be split apart.
Qishier Pin Lian bore the brunt of the sword's power, her body, along with the heavenly pillar, falling into the Void World.
The Void World corresponding to the Heavenly Court was indeed dangerous, but Void Heaven knew well that the power of the Void World itself could never kill a powerhouse like Qishier Pin Lian. Therefore, he immediately pursued with his sword, intending to trap Qishier Pin Lian in the Void World.
"Zhang Ruochen, quickly seize the Purple Heart Heavenly Venerable Orchid! Feng Caiyi, let's join forces to suppress Qishier Pin Lian—it must have possessed Kong Faning."
Void Heaven deliberately said this to lure Feng Tian into entering the Void World with him.
He had already come to his senses. If Feng Caiyi seized the Purple Heart Heavenly Venerable Orchid, she would surely swallow it immediately. How could such a treasure be split with him?
In contrast, Zhang Ruochen, being under his control, was easier to manipulate.
However, what he said was also true. Once inside the Void World, it would be his domain. Then, Qishier Pin Lian would find it much harder to overpower him. With Feng Caiyi's help, there was a chance to severely wound Qishier Pin Lian, or even suppress her.
Void Heaven was very confident. Once in the Void World, he would fear no one, not even a Heavenly Venerable-level opponent.
Feng Tian glanced at the cemetery on the mountaintop, then at the shattered space exuding a void aura, and waved her sleeve.
The two divine artifacts, the Red Dye Tower and the Heavenly Gourd, each tens of thousands of feet tall, struck twice in succession toward the cemetery's location.
Yu Jingzhen's expression changed slightly, and he immediately retreated into the cemetery.
"Whoosh!"
The Red Dye Tower shattered the ancient formation of the Grand Supreme and fell into the cemetery, smashing a large area of divine-light-emitting ancient tombs, sending divine coffins and divine corpses flying out.
Even the ancient formation of the Grand Supreme could not withstand it, torn open with a huge gap.
Wan Qi was pierced through the chest by a beam of light shot from the Red Dye Tower, his corpse blood splattering, his spiritual power severely damaged.
Yu Jingzhen, along with dozens of ancient powerhouses, stood atop a thousand-zhang-tall divine tomb. Together, they struck out a beam of light, triggering the rule divine patterns left in the cemetery since ancient times, striking at the Heavenly Gourd that flew in next.
The Heavenly Gourd was blocked, trembling violently in the void.
Each tremor shook heaven and earth, sending energy ripples scattering, continuously crushing the spatial secret realms within Mount Buzhou.
Wan Qi's chest wound healed, and he released his spiritual power, once again activating another ancient formation of the Grand Supreme.
"Radiance of the Void Ruins!"
A heavenly gate opened in the dim void.
Threads of formation light cascaded down from the heavenly gate, falling upon the ancient powerhouses.
The beams converged, forming a combined attack formation. Dozens of ancient powerhouses at the Boundless level merged into one, driving countless rule divine patterns, channeling the divine light of the Void Ruins. The spatial power grew stronger and stronger, directly sending the Heavenly Gourd flying back.
Yu Jingzhen raised his voice, "Feng Caiyi, no matter how strong your cultivation, you cannot break the final formation of the Space Divine Temple!"
Wan Qi, bathed in the divine light of the Void Ruins, his body blazing bright and his robes fluttering, boosted everyone's confidence, shouting, "She is merely at the middle stage of Indestructible Infinite. If we join forces and activate the Void Ruins Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation, we can surely suppress her!"
Atop Mount Buzhou were buried the successive hall masters of the Space Divine Temple, gathering countless rule divine patterns. The power they drew forth could definitely suppress an Indestructible Infinite.
The Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation, connected to the Void Ruins, could simultaneously draw upon the power of the Void Ruins and Mount Buzhou, ensuring the Space Divine Temple's eternal preservation and unbroken lineage. Its might was unimaginable.
Feng Tian had intended to rush to the Void World immediately to prevent Qishier Pin Lian from escaping through it.
The Void World corresponding to the Heavenly Court was indeed a death ground, but for a cultivator at Qishier Pin Lian's level, who in some eras could be called invincible, there was still a chance to break through.
However, seeing the Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation so formidable, and knowing that Zhang Ruochen and the others could never handle it, how could Feng Tian leave?
Even as Void Heaven urged her through telepathy, she remained unmoved.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
Two divine clouds rose from the mountainside, flying straight toward Feng Tian.
Within the divine clouds were the Universe Cauldron and the God-Defying Stele.
Zhang Ruochen stood beneath a waterfall, divine qi surging within him, driving these two war artifacts.
Feng Tian glanced down at Zhang Ruochen, then, controlling the God-Defying Stele and the Universe Cauldron, charged straight toward the cemetery.
The Universe Cauldron, its body ten thousand feet tall, was surrounded by dense spatial veins, suppressing the Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation.
The God-Defying Stele shattered into powder, turning into mist that surged into the formation, causing the formation inscriptions and rule divine patterns to continuously fade.
"Boom, rumble!"
Feng Tian's fingers moved continuously, and one divine artifact after another fell, smashing the formation world of the Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation, the cemetery being lifted layer by layer.
The Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation could not withstand it and was finally split open by Feng Tian with Auspiciousness and Satisfaction.
Yu Jingzhen and Wan Qi had never imagined that the Space Divine Temple's strongest formation could be so easily broken. Their expressions changed in shock.
A sky-covering phoenix claw imprint descended from the heavens, with death divine light and Fengmu divine flame flowing between its claws. With one claw, it crushed Yu Jingzhen, turning him into wisps of spiritual power divine mist.
The golden bamboo basket, along with the Purple Heart Heavenly Venerable Orchid, was taken.
After obtaining the Purple Heart Heavenly Venerable Orchid, Feng Tian did not hesitate for a moment and swallowed it directly.
"Feng Caiyi, if you don't act now, she will break out of the Void World and return to Mount Buzhou!" Void Heaven's furious voice came from the Void World, clearly seeing what Feng Tian had done.
He was fighting and killing in the Void World, yet the benefits were snatched by Feng Caiyi. He was about to explode with rage.
What happened to splitting it half and half?
Feng Tian saw that within the space rifts, rivers of time were indeed surging out, and Void Heaven was about to be unable to stop Qishier Pin Lian. So, she immediately spread her wings and flew into the Void World, sending a telepathic message to Zhang Ruochen, "The Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation is broken. They are no longer a threat to you. There is still the aura of the Heavenly Venerable Orchid in the cemetery—be sure to take it."
After Feng Tian used Fengmu divine flame to incinerate the rivers of time, she disappeared into a space rift.
In the shattered cemetery, the spiritual power divine mist gathered like thousands of streams, coalescing into Yu Jingzhen's body.
Yu Jingzhen stared at the fragments of the bamboo basket on the ground, his eyes fixed, his hatred hard to quell. If he had known it would come to this, he should have swallowed the Purple Heart Heavenly Venerable Orchid himself after collecting it.
Now, it was truly a case of "drawing water with a bamboo basket"—all for nothing.
However, he thought of another possibility: if he had truly swallowed the Purple Heart Heavenly Venerable Orchid, he would probably have been eaten by Feng Caiyi by now.
Wan Qi appeared beside him, saying, "She is, after all, the Death Overlord. Losing to her is nothing to be ashamed of. Pull yourself together—those juniors are coming up."
"Whoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen was the first to ascend to the top of Mount Buzhou, landing on a broken stele.
The area before him was a wreck, with bronze coffins, mutilated corpses, sacrificial vessels, and broken bones everywhere.
Further away, led by Yu Jingzhen and Wan Qi, dozens of ancient powerhouses stood atop tombs as large as divine mountains. Around each ancient powerhouse, a vast number of rule divine patterns gathered, with light pillars descending from the heavenly gate in the sky, connecting to them.
The second Purple Heart Heavenly Venerable Orchid appeared deep within the cemetery, about to mature, growing grass leaves tens of thousands of meters tall and blooming flowers as blazing and bright as a divine sun.
Yu Jingzhen composed himself and said, "Zhang Ruochen, you should leave now. With your current cultivation, opposing us will only lead to death."
"If the Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation had not been broken, Hall Master, your words might carry some weight. But now, let's settle this with strength!"
Zhang Ruochen did not approach immediately. Instead, he summoned the Universe Cauldron and the Earth Cauldron.
The Universe Cauldron drew upon the spatial veins of Mount Buzhou, while the Earth Cauldron evolved a primordial world.
Yu Jingzhen and Wan Qi knew well the power of the Nine Cauldrons. They immediately activated the remnants of the Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation, unleashing a chaotic storm that clashed with the primordial world evolved by the Earth Cauldron.
The Universe Cauldron was struck by a pillar of divine power from dozens of ancient powerhouses, spinning rapidly and flying back toward Zhang Ruochen.
Just as the Universe Cauldron was about to crash into Zhang Ruochen, a light screen rose before him.
"Boom!"
The light screen neutralized the impact of the Universe Cauldron.
A Fuya, her body enveloped in crimson flames, her hair like a waterfall, and her back adorned with fluttering elf light wings, held the Yellow Stone Divine Staff, floating behind and above Zhang Ruochen.
The power of the Heaven and Earth Square Divine Formation surged continuously from the foot of Mount Buzhou, with her as the formation's eye. Countless formation inscriptions coalesced into a semi-real, semi-illusory formation plate, floating above her head.
"I, the Master, have some understanding of formations. Please, Ancestor Qi, offer some guidance," A Fuya said.
Wan Qi knew the power of the Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation well. Even in its broken state, it should be more than enough to deal with Zhang Ruochen and the others.
But A Fuya was once an Ancestor, and her formation mastery was far from ordinary. Now, with the support of the Heaven and Earth Square Divine Formation and the deities of the Space Divine Temple, defeating her would be no easy task.
Wan Qi's voice was hoarse, "A Fuya, you are but a remnant soul lingering to this day. Aren't you afraid that in the future, there will be no place for you in this world?"
"With me here, how could she have no place?"
Zhang Ruochen's voice was confident, exuding the demeanor of a strong one. The space around him twisted, and his figure vanished from the spot.
Yu Jingzhen's expression changed drastically, "Everyone be careful! He has used the Wuji Divine Dao and Space Essence to break the spatial suppression here!"
Before his words faded, Zhang Ruochen had already entered the Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation, appearing atop a tomb-covered divine mountain.
"Pfft!"
He held the Eternal Divine Spear, piercing through the divine body of an ancient powerhouse. With a scream, blood splattered, staining the earth red.
The Eternal Divine Spear, a time divine artifact, in an instant, extinguished the lifespan of that ancient powerhouse.
Even those who had turned to the Corpse Dao had a finite lifespan.
Zhang Ruochen collected the remnant body of that ancient powerhouse into the Earth Cauldron, then, holding the spear dripping with corpse blood, shifted his form and appeared on another tomb-covered divine mountain. His killing intent was fierce, and in just a few moves, he dealt with the second ancient powerhouse, blood splattering across the sky.
As Feng Tian had said, with the Chaos Return to Origin Grand Formation broken, the power of these ancient powerhouses could no longer be united, and they were no longer a threat to Zhang Ruochen.
