Chapter 1711 : 20-4 Deva Realms Grand Array

The Great Void Mountain Range, the Formless Grand Array spanned the heavens.

Countless human cultivators and innumerable prodigies continuously reinforced the grand formation, exerting their utmost to withstand the assault of the demon and god races.

Beyond the mountain range, hundreds of billions of demonic beasts relentlessly assailed the grand formation, while boundless tribulation qi inundated the vast expanse of the void.

Fighting to this extent, countless low-level demonic beasts had already been reduced to ashes. Even many ascended immortals and divine spirits were but insignificant specks of dust in this great calamity.

Corrupted by the pervasive calamity energy, their minds had been eroded and their souls could no longer maintain control. They relentlessly assailed the grand formation, yet failed to stir even the slightest ripple. Their only purpose now was to deplete the immortal spiritual energy, spirit stones, and immortal sources within the Taixu Mountain Range.

Beneath the killing array formed by the 20-4 innate treasures of the Taixu Mountains, even a Half-Step Celestial Immortal would be reduced to ashes upon forced entry.

The onslaught persisted for thousands of years, staining the vast Expanse of the Grand Void Mountains with boiling baleful aura. Countless yaoguai immortals and divine beings fell in battle, yet the mountain range showed no signs of being breached.

Until this day, when Crown Prince Qingyang arrived with the divine race, he gazed upon the Great Void Mountain Range and slightly furrowed his brow.

After observing for a considerable time, he finally spoke, "The Empyrean Veil Abode possesses profound foundations. They've established the 20-4 Celestial Realms Formation across these mountains, using the Cosmic Array Diagrams as its cornerstone."

"This innate killing formation uses the ley lines of the Ethereal Mountains as its foundation, refining the power of the 20-4 Heavens. Its energy source is virtually inexhaustible."

"You think you can deplete the formation's power with low-level demonic beasts? That's utterly impossible."

From among the demon race, several figures emerged 1 after another.

At the forefront stood none other than the Solar Golden Crow and the 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix. The 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix dipped her head slightly and said, "This we naturally know. Yet even if we breach the formation, our demon race alone cannot prevail against the human race by force."

"Now that you have arrived, we can finally devise a strategy to annihilate the human race."

The Son of Qingyang Emperor nodded, then spoke, "Do you possess any supreme treasure capable of breaking formations?"

"I possess a low-grade innate treasure—the Heaven-Rending Talisman."

The Eldrin Imperial Son spoke, his expression calm as he began.

The Heaven-Rending Talisman is a supreme treasure for breaking through realms. A single low-grade innate Heaven-Rending Talisman is potent enough to annihilate an entire minor universe.

If used to break formations, it would be sufficient to shatter arrays crafted by mid-stage Celestial Immortals.

However, such a treasure was a single-use innate artifact. Once activated, it was almost equivalent to discarding a strand of innate qi, making it 1 of the trump cards reserved by the Scourge Ape Imperial Son.

"Relying solely on the Heaven-Rending Talisman may not be sufficient."

The 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix spoke, then produced a 5-colored immortal stone and declared, "My 5-Colored Heaven-Suppressing Stone possesses the wondrous ability to suppress all formations beneath the heavens. It can subdue 20 percent of this array’s power."

The Son of Qingyang Emperor cast a glance, and a faint glimmer stirred in his eyes.

This 5-Colored Heaven-Suppressing Stone is a unique mid-grade innate treasure. It can serve as a cosmic artifact of the universe, possessing the wondrous ability to stabilize the cosmos and pacify the starry rivers.

However, typically only early-stage Celestial Immortals could activate this treasure. The fact that the 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix could wield it at her current realm was not only due to her exceptionally pure mana quality but also because her attributes were perfectly attuned to the 5-Colored Heaven-Suppressing Stone.

At that very moment, the Eldrin Golden Crow spoke up, "This time I've brought the Eldrin Ancient Ship, equipped with a supreme-grade, ninth-tier Taiyi Annihilation Cannon."

"By fully activating this Annihilation Cannon, its power rivals a full-force strike from a Celestial Immortal in the late stage."

Seeing this, the Crown Prince of Qingyang gave a slight nod and said, "With the 5-Colored Heaven-Suppressing Stone and the Annihilation Cannon to suppress them, supplemented by the Heaven-Rending Divine Talisman, this should be sufficient to breach the vast majority of the world’s ninth-rank innate grand formations."

"But this 20-4 Heavens Grand Formation is hailed as unbreakable by any below the Great Perfection of Celestial Immortals, ranking among the pinnacle Ninth-Order formations in the immortal realm."

"With only these 3 forces, we can merely suppress the grand formation temporarily, unable to completely breach this Mountain Protection Array."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions involuntarily darkened and grew solemn.

The 9-Tailed Celestial Fox couldn't help but turn her gaze toward the Eldrin (Person Name) before inquiring, "Since you've come here, Fellow Daoist, I presume you've also made preparations."

The Son of Qingyang Emperor nodded, then flicked his sleeve and produced a dazzling divine pearl.

The Empyrean Scion of Zhu Yan cast a glance and could not help but exclaim, "The Chaos Thunder Pearl?"

Upon hearing this, the others present all underwent drastic changes in their expressions, revealing looks of utter astonishment.

This Chaos Thunder Pearl was of extraordinary origin. It was a supreme treasure forged by an ancient immortal mighty figure when they broke through to the Great Perfection Realm, refined from the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation. Its lethality was astonishingly formidable, potent enough to even suppress and slay ancient immortal mighty figures.

At this moment, Crown Prince Qingyang produced 1, instantly causing everyone's expressions to change.

Noticing the expressions of the crowd, Eldrin hastily shook his head and explained, "This is merely a Minor Chaos Thunder Pearl. When our ancestral Patriarch, the Ancient Cyan Sun Deity, broke through the Third Heavenly Gate, he drew upon the Chaos Heavenly Tribulation to temper his body."

At that time, the Ancient Patriarch refined the residual power of the heavenly tribulation into this Chaos Thunder Pearl, its might merely comparable to a late-stage Celestial Immortal.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Upon careful reflection, this outcome was to be expected. A genuine Chaos Thunder Bead would rank as a Great Luo treasure of at least the tenth tier. Though its power was astonishingly immense, it would require at least a Heavenly Immortal at the Great Perfection stage to barely manage its activation.

At this thought, the Eldrin (Person Name) spoke, "With this Chaos Thunder Pearl (Magic Treasure), we should be able to blast through the 20-4 Heavens Grand Formation (Magic Array) and temporarily cripple its power."

The 5-Colored Immortal Phoenix nodded. She made a series of calculations with her fingers, then spoke with utmost gravity, "However, with these treasures alone, we can suppress the 20-4 Heavens Grand Formation for no more than 3 days."

"If we fail to deal a heavy blow to the human race within 3 days, we'll have to flee for our lives once their defensive formations are restored."

The Golden Crow of the Solar Emperor furrowed his brow slightly, weighing his words carefully. "With the combined strength of our demon and god races joining forces, even if we cannot eradicate humanity entirely within 3 days of all-out assault, we should still be able to eliminate several figures who have reached the Forbidden Realm."

"However, the human race is truly extraordinary. If Elder of the Returning Abyss (Cultivator) were to fully recover from his injuries, we could at most inflict 30 to 40 percent casualties upon them."

30 to 40 percent?

Beside them, the 7 or 8 forbidden heirs of the demon and god clans fell into deep contemplation.

If we cannot completely eradicate the human race and merely inflict heavy casualties upon them, then once the grand formation is restored, I fear this great tribulation will inevitably descend into a protracted stalemate.

"Both the Void-Reversion Daoist and the Taixu Holy Son are among the most dazzling prodigies to emerge from the human race of the Qingcang Immortal Domain over the past 10 kalpas. If we fail to eradicate them now, I fear they will grow into calamitous threats."

"Especially that Elder of the Returning Abyss, he is currently in seclusion to re-cultivate the Flawless Dao Fruit. Should he succeed, I fear neither you nor I would be a match for him."

The Solar Emperor Golden Crow spoke slowly, his expression profoundly grave. "Therefore, even at a certain cost, we must fight to achieve complete victory in a single campaign."

Great minds think alike.

The Son of Qingyang Emperor nodded, stroking his palms with a light laugh.

With those final words, he gazed into the depths of the void and said, "Fellow Daoist Sun, you may reveal yourself now."
