Lingyin Island was still regularly shifting positions, but whether rotating clockwise or counterclockwise, it couldn’t shake off Jun Changxiao, because this fellow had already entered and was standing on the beach contemplating how to break through the obstructive formation ahead.
Zangyue Pavilion members had special tokens allowing them to enter and exit freely. If he wanted to get in, he had to either use brute force to break through or use wisdom to break through.
“Let’s use wisdom.”
Jun Changxiao was worried that making too much commotion outside would alert the martial artists who’d entered earlier.
“Whoosh!”
His soul dispersed, merging into the formation.
“My god!”
Seeing the densely packed, intricate pattern structure inside, Jun Changxiao collapsed on the spot and said, “This is too advanced, too complex!”
Regret.
He should have brought Old Man Taixuan along!
Returning to the sect to fetch him now was obviously somewhat unrealistic, so he could only sit down and analyze it step by step.
Jun Changxiao was mainly a bit lazy and, adhering to the principle that the sect didn’t support idle people, entrusted all matters related to formations to the Formation Hall. Actually, his understanding of formation techniques was quite good!
Of course, it was also because he frequently cheated, which overshadowed his own strengths.
There was no absolutely perfect formation in this world. As long as one observed carefully, one would always discover flaws, always discover weak points. Even if it was just a tiny bit, it would produce a fatal chain reaction.
Jun Changxiao was like a meditating monk, sitting on the scorching beach under the blazing sun, quietly analyzing, quietly pondering, not moving even as sand and dust fell on his hair and shoulders.
A serious woman is most beautiful.
A serious Gou Sheng is most handsome.
…
Five days later.
A breeze blew, stirring his black hair.
When Jun Changxiao engaged in ultimate research on formations, it would trigger an old ailment from years ago—baldness.
“Exhale!”
After a moment, he stood up.
The sand and dust piled on his head and shoulders brushed down. The shadow cast by the sunlight looked so imposing.
“Enough, enough, enough!”
Suddenly, Jun Changxiao waved his hands, twisted his waist, and sang, “Ah-lay, ah-lay!”
“Whoosh!”
The defensive barrier existing invisibly immediately dispersed.
Undeniably, Gou Sheng’s singing was deadly, but the formation stopping wasn’t caused by off-key sounds interfering—it was because it had been completely controlled.
“Treasure!”
The corners of Jun Changxiao’s mouth curved into a smile. “I’m coming!”
A small island equipped with complex formations, constantly changing positions—this was enough to prove there were good things hidden inside that people didn’t want discovered!
Perhaps there were dozens of immortal stone ore veins waiting for him to excavate!
“Roar—”
While contemplating, an extremely loud roar reached his ears, shaking Jun Changxiao’s head backward. The sand behind him was swept away frantically.
A behemoth resembling a Tyrannosaurus Rex somehow stood before him, its huge mouth reeking of stench only half a zhang away from him!
Many demon beasts existed on Lingyin Island. Naturally, they would appear immediately when the formation stopped.
“Roar…”
“So noisy!”
“Boom—”
The giant Tyrannosaurus Rex beast took flight on the spot, like a small mountain that crashed into the distant forest, unconscious with a crooked mouth and crossed eyes, foaming at the mouth.
“Oh my.”
Jun Changxiao touched his shiny, smooth head, displaying dead-fish eyes with a dazed expression. “That was a bit too heavy-handed.”
The System roared, “Why did the art style suddenly change to One Punch!”
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Just then, roaring sounds came from the forest ahead.
“Boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
One Tyrannosaurus Rex beast after another raised its massive body and walked out with steps that shook the ground.
They were at least twenty or thirty zhang tall, numbering seven or eight, and quickly stood like mountains before the beach, locking onto Jun Changxiao from a bird’s-eye view.
“Little brat.”
“You dare harm our kin!”
Jun Changxiao raised his head to look at the big fellows, his eyes flashing with light, gradually revealing a “U”-shaped smile.
These demon beasts that looked extremely similar to Tyrannosaurus Rex were very powerful in terms of strength, probably no weaker than human seventh or eighth-revolution realms. The crystal cores in their bodies must be very valuable!
The System said, “These demon beasts aren’t in the Upper Realm Beast Compendium. They should be extinct rare species!”
“Rare species?”
Jun Changxiao’s gaze burned intensely. “Their crystal cores must be even more precious!”
“…”
The System was speechless.
This guy only saw the value of crystal cores, not the value of the species’ rarity?
Or was it that, because of their ugly appearance, he had no thought of subjugating them?
That’s right.
Tyrannosaurus Rex beasts were too ugly.
“Trespassing on Lingyin Island, your fate is death!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
The eight Tyrannosaurus Rex beasts angrily raised their feet and trampled mercilessly toward Jun Changxiao.
Worthy of being a rare species from a hundred thousand years ago, their seemingly ordinary attacks actually contained extremely strong true spiritual force.
Demon beasts didn’t cultivate martial techniques, but reaching a certain level, they could likewise manipulate heaven and earth attributes, so in terms of body and strength, they were even stronger than human martial artists of the same level.
Moreover.
Those that could be sent to the island in advance by the Demon Ancestor were definitely not ordinary goods.
“Make me die?”
Jun Changxiao’s dead-fish eye expression was immediately replaced by severity, the art style becoming—eyes like bright stars, nose like a suspended gall, face like a jade crown.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Before the eight big feet could press down, cold blade light resisted the true spiritual force and tore upward from below.
“Boom boom!”
“Boom boom!”
In an instant, the heads of the Tyrannosaurus Rex beasts flew off one after another and scattered on the ground. Their huge bodies toppled down like collapsing mountains.
“Whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao stood the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade before him and said indifferently, “You’re not qualified enough.”
His expression was cold and severe, his domineering aura overflowing.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
Just then, roaring sounds came from the forest. More Tyrannosaurus Rex beasts charged over with earth-shaking footsteps, their eyes flashing with towering fury.
As Upper Realm specially protected rare animals, how could they tolerate someone so wantonly slaughtering their kind!
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
In the distance where mountain peaks stood in forests, flying bird demon beasts resembling ostriches also rushed out.
“Hm?”
Jun Changxiao’s spiritual sense spread out. Surprised, he said, “Why are there so many strange and peculiar demon beasts on this island?”
“Not just strange and peculiar.”
The System said seriously, “They’re all extremely rare species!”
“I understand.”
Jun Changxiao raised the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade and smiled. “The island’s greatest treasure should be them.”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Just as he was about to launch into slaughter to obtain crystal cores, from the city at the far end of the forest flew out martial artists wearing black robes and masks!
When someone was outside the formation, they didn’t know, because the formation system was controlled by the Demon Ancestor. But when the formation was broken and the Tyrannosaurus Rex beasts roared, they naturally realized something was wrong.
“This is…”
Seeing the crescent moon pattern on their chests clearly, Jun Changxiao said delightedly, “Zangyue Pavilion?”
However, the next second his smile completely froze, because the incoming black-robed masked people numbered not just dozens, but thousands. Combined with the rare demon beasts from all around the forest rushing over, his current situation seemed very dire!
“Pavilion Master!”
A Zangyue Pavilion member saw clearly who stood on the beach and exclaimed in shock, “It’s the Eternal Sect Master!”
The black-robed elder who rushed over frowned. “How did he find this place?”
“This person is in league with the Ten Great Immortal Sects and even framed the Mowang Clan as traitors. Since he dares come to Lingyin Island, don’t let him leave alive!”
“Whoosh whoosh!”
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
In an instant, nearly three thousand Zangyue Pavilion members accelerated, demonic energy bursting from their bodies, their eyes flashing with intense killing intent.
“Roar!”
“Roar!”
At the same time, dozens of rare demon beasts comparable to the Truth-Seeking Realm charged out. Their roars alone seemed capable of shaking space!
“What are you standing there for? Run quickly!” the System roared.
If it were just one or two Truth-Seeking Realm experts, it believed the host could barely cope with his peak Core Rotation Realm strength. But with so many at once, if surrounded, he’d definitely be beaten to death.
“Run?”
Jun Changxiao shook his head. “That’s cowardly behavior.”
“Whoosh!”
The Azure Dragon Crescent Blade was withdrawn into the spatial ring. The miniature form of the难收之刀 was pinched between two fingers as he shouted, “A man should face them head-on in battle!”
