Chapter 39: Difficult to Maintain the Cold Stove

Although they had experienced several rounds of attacks, Kunpeng and Minghe discussed for a while, but it was only the third quarter of the ugly hour, still a full two and a half hours away from the Chen hour.
When Xuan Du and Emperor Xin ascended to the sky, they saw Ming He and Kun Peng. These two are not like other demon saints, they are on the same level as the Three Pure Ones, both being leaders of their respective sects.
"Senior Brother Xuan Du, Friend Daoist Emperor Xin, these two are not to be taken lightly."
At this moment, the Ming River had already begun to stir its qi, and a wave of blood-red energy expanded continuously, clearly indicating the initiation of his famous Blood River War.
On the other side, Kunpeng and his subordinates took out numerous battle flags, each of which bore distinct stellar power.
"Do we have to set up the Great Array of Stars and Constellations?"
This made the originally calm and composed Master Xuan Du also become uneasy.
"Even if we set up the Great Array of Stars and Constellations, so what? Don't you have the reputed strongest defense of the Primordial Era, the Tai Chi Qing Wei Array?"
Emperor Xin asked indifferently, "I am sure there is no problem with Laozi's birth. As a person from the future, I am most certain about this. Otherwise, I wouldn't obediently follow the Fairy Qiongxiao here."
"Comrade, you may not know, but this Two Yis Pure and Subtle Array, with the Tai Chi diagram as its formation, is difficult to break through except for the Saints. However, there are exceptions, and the Heavenly Starry Formation is one of them."
Xuandu Grand Master hesitated for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"Because the Taiji formation represents the harmonization of the two opposites, while the Zhoutian Star Formation represents the reversal of the Taiji. The two are completely opposite, so if Master is present, it will naturally pose no problem."
"In other words, if you use those words, the problem will be significant, right?"
"Seeing Xuan Du hesitate and beat around the bush, Emperor Xin thought when would be a good time to be straightforward."
"As the eldest senior brother of Xuanmen, Xuan Du felt a strong sense of face, and it was a bit embarrassing for Emperor Xin to directly break through. But now, he had no choice but to admit it."
"Hmm, that's pretty much the meaning!"
"So what?"
"So, I want Emperor Xin Daoxiong to counter the Twelve Capital Celestial Formation with the Zhou Tian Star Formation to protect the Taiji Clear and Subtle Formation."
"Haha, this is not embarrassing at all!"
Emperor Xin continued to make sarcastic remarks, mainly because he was angry.
When the Peng appeared, Emperor Xin thought that Jiu Ying betrayed him. Later, he realized that it was not right. Firstly, Jiu Ying didn't know what he was doing, and secondly, he didn't know why his father made such a big fuss.
Furthermore, even the Lord of Ming River has come. This can't be the work of the Nine Infants.
After thinking it over, there is only one possibility, which is that Xuan Du intentionally used Huang Zhongli to attract these guys to come, in order to conquer them and demonstrate his authority as the third-generation disciple of Xuan Men, and then take credit for it in the future.
He probably didn't expect that I would bring the Hongmeng Purple Aura with me. Well, I messed up big time.
Seeing Xuan Du the Great Wizard being defeated, Qiong Xiao the Fairy, being kind-hearted after all, spoke to Emperor Xin:
"Dixing friend, your formation technique has always been on par with the Zhou Tianxing Dou Formation. Please help Senior Brother."
"It's not that I'm unwilling to help him, but you see, my formation technique relies solely on the formation flag, while the other side has so many Da Luo Golden Immortals and Golden Immortals presiding over it, it's impossible to hold them off."
This time, Di Xin has already figured out that he no longer needs his advantages from time travel, so he probably doesn't have many left. Therefore, he wants to find a few "cold stoves" and quickly burn them, establishing Confucianism as one.
This matter is one of them. No matter what, Laozi is the second most powerful saint after Hongjun. I should seize the opportunity to win his favor. However, I didn't expect to encounter such a deceitful master. It seems that even talented people like him can be unpredictable.
What he just said is also true. After all, this set of formation flags was made by the Witchcraft Sect. The material is limited and can only be used by one person. It was given to Di Xin to suppress the sharpness of the innate treasure. If it were to face a battle with the Demon Divination Sect, it might be instantly overwhelmed.
“What should we do?”
Xuan Du was stunned for a moment.
"Alright, when the time comes, I will go and forcefully break through his Celestial Array. I can't guarantee whether I can break it or not."
"As long as Emperor Xin is willing to take the risk, their array is just a temporary organization with certainly many loopholes."
Venerable Master Xuandu exclaimed with joy, but suddenly realized that it would definitely be dangerous for just one person to break the large array. He quickly added:
"If Fellow Daoist Dixin can succeed, my master and disciple owe you a favor. In the future, if you have any requests, we will definitely fulfill them!"
"Okay then, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman!"
After Emperor Xin finished speaking, he fully activated the Twelve Heavenly Array and prepared for battle. Since Xuandu had already come to this point, he could no longer hesitate, especially since he also wanted to have an idea and try out this legendary array in the Primordial Era.
The two formations on the opposite side are almost ready, with one side covered in a sea of blood-red, reaching half of the horizon, while the other side is filled with countless twinkling starlights and rotating nebulae, resembling a miniature primordial world.
"This is the famous Four Great Formations of the ancient times. It's truly worth coming to see the battle between the four formations."
"Yes, I thought that after the disappearance of the Witch Clan, this Twelve Celestial Slaying Formation would be finished. I didn't expect to see it again."
"The Zhoutian Star Formation, too, can still be arranged after the battle between witches and demons. It's truly an eye-opener!"
"Look, they are about to collide. We will soon see who is stronger and who is weaker. I am so excited!"
As more and more monks came to watch the excitement, exceeding tens of thousands of monks, several factions gradually formed, including a few Great Luo Golden Immortals, but everyone was restrained from a distance, watching quietly.
Once the four major formations were launched, it naturally caught their attention, sparking a flurry of discussions.
When Emperor Xin heard about it, he was infuriated. Despite his desperate efforts, these people still treated it as a spectacle.
But he couldn't think too much, as the constellations formation and the sea of blood formation had already collided, clearly intending to break through the formation with force.
Alright! Let them come, in the end, we will definitely be the victors. With my protagonist luck, Emperor Xin naturally has no fear. At this moment, he has gained a strange self-confidence.
Boom!
Four large formations collided, and an unprecedented dazzling light flashed. Immediately after, there was a deafening thunder, and the collision of the four formations gave rise to a burst of violent light waves, instantly leveling the surrounding villages into a flat ground.
Fortunately, the residents here were previously hidden by Xuan Du's magic, otherwise who knows how much bloodshed would have been caused.
Watching from the sidelines, Heilian and Heilong quickly activated their divine abilities, but they were still forced back hundreds of yards. Fortunately, the cultivators who were watching from afar were protected by a Daluo Golden Immortal, so they were not harmed.
Looking at the center of the venue again, there were bright green lights and twinkling stars. Both the Shuangyi Qingwei Formation and the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation were still supporting, while the Blood River Formation and the Twelve Heavenly Evil Formation had already been shattered.
The Lord of the Underworld at this moment looked very displeased. After that collision just now, no matter how you put it, his Blood River Formation was dispersed. This made him lose face. Without waiting for anyone to speak, he immediately summoned the Yan Tu and A Bi swords from behind him and charged towards Emperor Xin outside the formation.
The Liangyi Qingsheng Array is supported by the Taiji diagram, which is an innate treasure. Of course, it can also be supported. The Zhoutian Xingdou Array is supported by the Kunpeng, a demon master who is only slightly inferior to a sage, and the eight great ancient demon saints. With Kunpeng in charge, the Zhoutian Xingdou Array once again collides with Qingguang.
"No good! Qiong Xiao is intercepting Ming He!"
"Emperor Xin shouted loudly, at the same time, he raised the Five Elements Fan to block the oncoming Abi Yuan Tu's second sword, while holding the Xuanyuan Sword tightly with both hands, turning into a yellow stream of light and crashing towards the celestial stellar array."
The Taijiquan Formation is the foundation for their defense strategy of fewer against many and steadfastly holding their ground. If the formation is broken, the four of them would be overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of cultivators in the vicinity.
Formation is a method of gathering the power of a group of people in a certain way. To break a formation, one must either possess the power to overpower the opponent's formation or sever the connecting nodes of the opponent's internal power.
Although Emperor Xin has astonishing magical powers, it is not enough to overpower the great array. No risk, no reward. Therefore, he made up his mind, activated his innate power, and unleashed the power of chaos. He charged into the array to search for the connection points.
If it is a big formation with innate treasures suppressing the enemy, or a complete formation with 365 golden immortals sitting in it, Di Xin might not have a chance. Unfortunately, at this moment, Kunpeng does not have sufficient preparation. He is using the Xuan Yuan Control Water Flag to suppress the formation. How can it withstand Di Xin?
Within the stellar formation of the Zou Tian XingDou Array, the radiance of Xuanyuan emitted by Emperor Xin is accompanied by numerous rotating stars, moving forward. Among them, a few of the brightest stars are driving the swirling stardust, clearly the Kunpeng and the Eight Great Demon Saints.
It seems that the aura of this nebula vortex is similar to that of the chaotic space and the embryonic spiritual energy, but it is far inferior to the latter. Emperor Xin confirmed his thoughts in his heart and understood. He immediately rushed towards the weakest nebula.
Before the Great Array of Day and Night Stars and the Clear and Subtle Array of the Taiji had a chance to collide again, Baize was stabbed by Emperor Xin with a sword. Although Baize is a strategist of the Yao clan, he is the weakest in terms of strength and naturally becomes the weakest link in the entire array, directly dispersed by the collision.
Subsequently, the star vortex where Shangyang, Jimeng, and other demon saints were located was continuously broken. The Celestial Array of Zhoutian Stars finally dissipated, relieving Xu
"Bastard, I'll kill you!"
Kunpeng shouted and pointed his Xuan Yuan Control Water Flag, shooting a cold and deep blue water arrow towards Emperor Xin, then he rushed forward with the Eight Great Demon Saints.
However, the Hades Ancestor over there, using countless Blood God Sons combined with the Fiery Red Lotus, has rendered the Fairy QiongXiao completely defenseless. Fortunately, the Primordial Golden Urn is also extraordinary, constantly capturing the Blood God Sons, causing the Hades Ancestor to feel a little distressed, which is why they can maintain a stalemate.
As Xuandu took action, he immediately caught hold of Lord Minghe, while Fairy Qiongxiao flew towards Emperor Xin. The two exchanged a smile and fought alongside the nine saints against the Yao race.
