Chapter 1041: Five Elements Source Armor

In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, the spirit ink around Mo Hua’s body coiled like silk, automatically forming array patterns as if it were a poisonous snake.

This no longer resembled array formations; it was more like a "demonic method."

This kind of method, controlling ink to form arrays without a brush or paper, was something they had simply never seen or heard of.

The elders of Wanzhen Men were also shocked beyond composure.

Their reaction was much more intense than that of ordinary cultivators.

Because they were an array path sect, they were array path elders.

As elders of a twelve-stream array path sect, having researched array formations their entire lives, they understood better than anyone the weight of the eight characters: "shenshi control ink, paint ground as array."

This kind of array formation method might not be something one could learn simply by being talented.

It truly contained within it the comprehension and application of the "Dao."

It was difficult to learn, and even more difficult to use freely.

Furthermore, in a crucial moment like the Shura War, during battle, with the speed of thunder, accurately displaying such a high-difficulty, complex, and large-scale array formation controlled by ink was simply... divine skill...

"How exactly did he, a mere cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage, learn such an array formation method that resembles a 'ghost axe divine work'..."

This question simultaneously arose in the hearts of all the array path elders.

And the scene of Mo Hua displaying shenshi control ink was also visible to all the "noble people" in the Guanjian Lou.

The sect masters of each sect were all astonished.

Some elders and direct descendants from the Dao Ting Qige and ancient families were also somewhat moved.

Even the sect masters of Taixu Men San Shan were a little stunned.

They had never known before that Mo Hua actually possessed such a method.

And in the Guanjian Da Dian.

Some old ancestors who had closed their eyes to nourish their spirits, whose spirits wandered outside and were indifferent to everything, even opened their eyes, specifically looked at Fangtian Huaying, and then looked towards Old Master Xun beside them.

Some old ancestors asked in surprise:

"Communicating with earth essence, painting the ground as an array?"

"When did your Taixu Men obtain the inheritance of Tu Zong?"

Old Master Xun's gaze was deep, and he remained silent.

His lack of answer was an attitude, indicating there was nothing to report.

Seeing the situation, the other Dongxu old ancestors also knew better than to press further.

Matters of sect inheritance were secrets of each sect.

Even if Taixu Men truly obtained the inheritance of Tu Zong and knew how to communicate with earth essence, they had no obligation to speak out.

Moreover, Tu Zong was powerful and adhered to ancient ways.

Obtaining their inheritance was not necessarily a good thing, and Taixu Men was even less likely to admit it.

Inside the Great Hall, no one spoke up to delve into the matter again.

Old Master Xun, without changing his expression, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This question, in fact, he also didn't know how to answer...

At this time, among the observation seats, people's hearts were stirred, and they were still discussing animatedly.

It wasn't just the onlookers outside the field who were shocked.

Inside the Lun Jian Tai, the heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, whose offense had been cut off by Mo Hua's sudden use of array formations, also had their faces change drastically, their gazes filled with astonishment.

The onlookers outside the field were watching through Fangtian Huaying.

While they were personally on site, personally seeing Mo Hua control nearly a hundred streams of spirit ink, like demons, painting array formations out of thin air.

It was simply like an "array formation monster."

No one could not be shocked by this scene, to the extent that after they were separated by the array formation, they stood rooted to the spot for a good while before coming back to their senses.

Soon, they also understood that they had been trapped by Mo Hua's array formation.

"Quick, break the array!"

Someone shouted.

The heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates inside the valley, and the heavenly pride disciples outside the valley, all attacked towards the array formation set up by Mo Hua.

Blade light and sword shadow, water and fire spells, poured out upwards.

But this array formation was as if it had fused with the mountains and rivers, with the earth, absorbing all Dao law attacks, only fading a little in color.

"Second-grade high-rank... compound array?"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Moreover, it was not a general compound array; it was a second-grade high-rank compound array that could perfectly fit with the Eight Trigrams Gen Mountain and the Five Elements earth.

Was this the true array formation strength of Mo Hua, the array path leader?

Without paper or medium, instantly forming a second-grade high-rank compound array?!

All the heavenly pride disciples found it hard to believe in their hearts.

In the narrow terrain, if they wanted to forcefully break this array formation, they would have to expend great effort.

It was fundamentally impossible to break it in a short time.

And they also didn't forget that behind them, the disciples of Taixu Men were still watching them like a tiger stalking its prey.

The situation instantly quieted down.

Inside the valley, led by Shi Tiangang of Jingang Men, Qin Cangliu of Gui Shui Men, Song Kui of Pojin Men, and others, the heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, a total of over a hundred people, began to confront Taixu Men.

Outside the valley, the true main forces of the Four Great Sects and a part of the heavenly pride disciples of the Seven Great Gates were also temporarily isolated outside by the second-grade "Tu Mu Fengshan Compound Array" set up by Mo Hua.

No one dared to act rashly against Mo Hua.

The scene was subtly balanced, yet filled with tension and solemnity.

Outside the field, all the observing cultivators also closely observed the situation through Fangtian Huaying.

Their hearts were also somewhat uneasy.

But immediately, someone discovered a problem.

The disciples of Wanzhen Men whispered:

"Mo Hua's use of this array formation, isn't it a bit wrong?"

"Why did he use a trap array and not a kill array?"

"Using a kill array, once triggered in the narrow valley, could cause extremely great killing power and kill many people."

"There are too many heavenly pride disciples from the Four Sects and Seven Gates; even with a kill array, he can't kill too many."

"Then isn't a trap array even more useless?"

"Using a trap array only seals the valley entrance..."

"Outside the valley entrance, there are over a hundred heavenly pride disciples from the Four Sects and Seven Gates."

"Inside the valley entrance, there are similarly over a hundred people."

"While Taixu Men, counting everyone, has only thirty people."

"Sealing the mountain with a trap array, although it cuts off the enemies, they still have to face over a hundred heavenly pride disciples from the Four Sects and Seven Gates."

"Thirty against over a hundred, this is still no way to fight."

"Mo Hua's set of array methods, looks flashy and impressive, very bluffing, but it seems... useless?"

"It's probably a helpless measure in a hurry."

"That's right..."

This discussion flowed into the ears of the Wanzhen Men elders.

This group of elders said nothing, but in their hearts, they also had some doubts.

On the one hand, they felt that Mo Hua's array formation was indeed somewhat improper.

But on the other hand, they always felt that the array formations Mo Hua set up seemed to have another intention and didn't look so simple at all.

Although Mo Hua was young, he exuded a profound and unfathomable aura.

What exactly was his intention?

Even they, as array path elders who had researched array formations for so many years, were at a loss for a time.

In the middle of the Lun Jian Tai, Shi Tiangang, Qin Cangliu, and the others were similarly uneasy in their hearts.

Their targeting of Mo Hua was real.

Therefore, even if Mo Hua only displayed a trap array, it would separate them within the valley.

Even if their numbers were three times that of Taixu Men, within Mo Hua's array formation, they still didn't dare to act rashly.

Mo Hua, this array path leader, was no ordinary array path leader.

Who could imagine what things he could accomplish with array formations?

Therefore, the crowd released their shenshi, scanning the inside of the valley repeatedly until they discovered that there were no other array formations except for the mountain-sealing trap array, only then did they relax.

Mo Hua was strong in array formations, and Taixu Men was also strong in array formations.

With array formations, they were strong.

Without array formations, Taixu Men was like a tiger with its teeth pulled, outwardly strong but inwardly weak, not worth fearing.

Since there was only a trap array sealing the mountain and no other array formations ambushing, then with a hundred against thirty, Taixu Men fundamentally had no chance of winning.

"Can we kill them?"

Everyone's thoughts stirred.

At this moment, one person stepped out, his face full of resentment, directly looking at Mo Hua. It was none other than Ye Zhiyuan of Da Luo Men.

As the Royal Sword genius of Da Luo Men, he had been killed by one of Mo Hua's flying swords, becoming a complete laughingstock. At this time, facing his enemy, he was particularly red-eyed.

Ye Zhiyuan pointed at Mo Hua and said hatefully:

"Mo Hua child, since my defeat last time, I have lain on brushwood and tasted gall, bitterly practicing Da Luo Royal Sword. Today, I will fight you to avenge my previous shame and take your head with one sword!"

These words also stirred up the hatred in the hearts of the crowd.

Everyone was a heavenly pride disciple of Qian Yuan Academy with face and status. Who hadn't been "humiliated" by Mo Hua's fireballs, water prisons, invisibility, body techniques, array formations...

For a time, emotions ran high, blades and swords clashed, directly pointing at Mo Hua.

"Kill Mo Hua."

"Slay Mo Yi, and you can be the alliance leader!"

People's voices boiled, and a flying sword soared out, turning into a ray of sword qi, directly aiming for Mo Hua's head.

It was the Da Luo Feitian Royal Sword, cast by Ye Zhiyuan.

Just as this flying sword was about to fly towards Mo Hua, five venerable big men flashed out, their giant swords sweeping horizontally with surging strength, intercepting the flying sword.

The flying sword did not kill Mo Hua, but the flames of war ignited.

The heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, some drawing swords, some condensing spells, some relying on their Jingang bodies, all rushed towards Taixu Men to kill.

Over a hundred heavenly pride disciples acted together, for a time, spirit power galloped, and the momentum was like mountains and seas, alarming people.

On Taixu Men's side, their expressions were solemn, and they waited in strict formation.

Mo Hua's expression was indifferent, looking at the surging tide of people. In his pupils, a hint of icy sharpness was revealed.

Even when facing the heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, his purpose from the beginning was not to defend.

Defense was the first thing that couldn't be defended against.

He wanted to kill everyone.

"Kill!"

Mo Hua said calmly and indifferently.

This single word "kill" was like a valve, opening the formation he had hidden for a long time, that vice obtained from Wuxing Zong's absolute formation:

Wuxing Yuanyuan Formation, open!

The armors and robes of the Taixu Men disciples lit up with five colors of five elements lights simultaneously, magnificent and dazzling.

The array formation received Mo Hua's control, injected with shenshi, and fused with the blood qi and spirit power of the Taixu disciples.

With shenshi as the lead, amplifying the five elements.

The Taixu Men disciples only felt their blood qi and spirit power boiling.

An inconceivable powerful strength descended upon their bodies, stimulating their meridians, burning their spirit power, making them feel as if they had "divine" assistance.

"Kill!"

In just an instant, the war intent of Taixu Men boiled, and killing qi was like a long rainbow.

The Tai'a five brothers served as the vanguard, while Cheng Mo, Ouyang Xuan, Situ Jian, and several others provided cover and killed.

Yang Qianjun and several others formed Dao soldiers to coordinate.

Linghu Xiao held the line, storing the Chongxu Jiejian Zhenjue.

The crowd, according to the predetermined tactics, formed a battle line, directly meeting the strong attack of the Four Sects and Seven Gates' over a hundred heavenly pride disciples.

The two sides clashed directly, as if heavenly thunder had met ground fire, exploding with shocking fluctuations.

But this kind of direct confrontation only lasted for an instant.

What was even more shocking was the next scene.

The heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, who held the advantage in numbers, actually collapsed in a single touch during the direct confrontation with Taixu Men.

The Taixu Men disciples, their entire bodies flashing with five elements lights, crushed the offensive of the crowd of heavenly pride disciples like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

The originally burly and powerful Tai'a five brothers, under the augmentation of the five elements' strength, saw their aura surge even more violently, like demon gods. The giant swords in their hands were like purgatory slaughter knives. As they swung them, the heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, if they were slightly careless, would lose their lives in the Yellow Springs.

Meanwhile, Linghu Xiao's body robes flashed with a crystal-clear, boiling water color.

This was Mo Hua's specially made Wuxing Shuiyue Yuanyuan Robe, which he had improved according to the essentials of the Chongxu Jiejian Zhenjue after obtaining it from Chongxu Shan.

This robe was tailor-made and could amplify Linghu Xiao's sword qi to an even more terrifying level.

The might of the Chongxu Jiejian Zhenjue was brought to its extreme.

Under Linghu Xiao's single sword strike, the sword qi was ethereal like a water shadow, and like a long moon in the sky, it swept forth with unstoppable momentum, directly killing over twenty heavenly pride disciples, making people horrified.

The remaining Yang Qianjun, Cheng Mo, Ouyang Xuan, and others, under the augmentation of the Wuxing Yuanyuan Armor, also saw their strength suddenly increase significantly. They formed arrays and killed down, their momentum even more like splitting bamboo.

Under the offensive of Taixu Men, Shi Tiangang, Feng Zichen, Qin Cangliu, Ye Zhiyuan, and the other top heavenly pride disciples of the Eight Gates were still alright, able to barely support themselves by relying on their powerful cultivation and strength.

But those with weaker strength fundamentally could not withstand it.

Ordinary heavenly pride disciples were completely no match.

Once they were close to the Tai'a five brothers and were struck by a giant sword carrying unmatched strength, they would immediately perish.

Or be injured by Linghu Xiao's overflowing sword qi, either dying or being crippled.

In just one exchange, the heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, who outnumbered Taixu Men three to one, completely collapsed in the direct battle, being fearfully strangled by the sword edges of Taixu Men, who had suddenly erupted with extremely strong combat strength...

Outside the Lun Jian Tai.

The observing cultivators completely boiled over.

Noisy voices filled the heaven and earth.

The previous moment, they were still shocked by Mo Hua's unpredictable array formation methods, and the next moment, they personally witnessed this inconceivable direct confrontation.

The over a hundred heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, not weak in strength and holding a numerical advantage, were actually so easily defeated by Taixu Men, who had only thirty people?

"What happened?!"

"Why did the strength of Taixu Men's disciples suddenly increase so much?"

"Absurd to the extreme!"

"Because... of their body armors and robes?"

Wan Zhen Men observation seats.

Most of the array formation disciples, besides being shocked, were also completely confused.

They guessed that the increase in Taixu Men's strength should be due to the effects of the array formations on their armors. But what kind of array formations they were, they were completely unaware.

Only those with extremely old qualifications, extremely broad experience, and turbid pupils had a hint of sharp light blossom within them.

On the Guanjian Lou, many sect masters of the Four Sects and Seven Gates slammed their tables and stood up in anger:

"What nonsense?!"

"Can these armors be used in the Lun Jian Assembly?"

"This is cheating."

"Absurd!"

"Is no one in charge?"

"Is Lun Dao Shan just going to indulge this?"

These sect masters saw their own disciples being defeated and were filled with righteous indignation for a time.

But they only cursed verbally, and no one actually went to confront Lun Dao Shan.

Because the elders of Lun Dao Shan always handled matters according to the rules. All spirit tools entering the field were inspected and confirmed to be fine.

At this time, inside the elders' room of Lun Dao Shan.

The Lun Dao Shan elders sitting around and drinking tea, looking at the scene before their eyes, had calm expressions and were not surprised.

When Mo Hua brought these armors and robes into the Lun Jian Tai, they had already seen them. If they wanted to be shocked, they had been surprised long ago.

Now, all of this, in their eyes, was just natural.

"These disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates, they didn't lose unjustly..."

"Mo Hua, this boy, is truly seeing ghosts. He knows all kinds of array formations, yet doesn't reveal a single bit of it..."

And in the Dongxu Da Dian.

More and more Dongxu old ancestors were also all shocked.

Especially some Dongxu cultivators who were proficient in array formations, at this time, they couldn't help but look at Old Master Xun, saying with shocked expressions:

"Your Taixu Men has obtained the Dao tradition of Wuxing Zong?"

Old Master Xun's scalp tingled slightly.

The Dao tradition of Wuxing Zong, how could that be a simple thing?

The Dao tradition of a first-rate array formation sect in the cultivation world, that was something enough to make people envious and desperate, even Dongxu realm old ancestors were no exception.

Especially Dongxu cultivators who walked the array path.

His Taixu Men, where did it have the Dao tradition of Wuxing Zong...

Mo Hua's inheritances truly were a deep, bottomless pit.

When exactly did he learn the absolute formation of Wuxing Zong, he himself didn't even discover...

But there was no choice, since Mo Hua had stirred up trouble, he, as an old ancestor, could only continue.

"It doesn't count as a 'Dao tradition'..." Old Master Xun's expression was indifferent, and he slowly said, "By chance coincidence, I obtained some fragments, and the children just learned it for fun..."

Children, just learned it for fun...

This sentence sounded very irritating.

The Dao tradition of Wuxing Zong, the absolute formation that amplifies spirit power, how many people painstakingly sought its essentials without success, was this something children could learn for "fun"?

It had been many years since they had seen it, how could this always rigorous and stiff old fellow from Taixu Men also start learning to "show off"?

A crowd of Dongxu old ancestors were silently speechless.

However, since he admitted it and could show it off, it was presumably not a complete Dao tradition.

It was also unlikely that the true Dao tradition of Wuxing Zong would fall into the hands of Taixu Men.

Others didn't know, but how could these old ancestors of theirs not know?

Wuxing Zong was formed by this and defeated by this, in the end, it perished at the hands of that "Dao tradition."

That "Dao tradition," on the surface, originated from the five elements, but in reality, it was extremely evil and strange. No one could say which class of strange chaotic source it was.

Old Ancestor Xun's heart should not be that big, daring to receive the "root" of Wuxing Zong's demise.

Some inheritances in the world looked beautiful, and ordinary cultivators flocked to them.

But they, these Dongxu cultivators who had initially peeked into the Dao domain, avoided them in time.

This matter was just muddled through like this, and a crowd of old ancestors no longer mentioned it.

Of course, this kind of calm was only on the surface. Whether or not there were old ancestors secretly having other thoughts, no one knew.

Only the old ancestors of Da Luo Men sneered:

"Again Tu Zong, again Wuxing Zong..."

"Once upon a time, how glorious was your Taixu Men? Now your sword path is in decline, you've lost all the things of your old ancestors, and you can only pick up other people's array formations to eat?"

These words were somewhat unpleasant.

Several sword path old ancestors present slightly turned their eyes, and their gazes towards Old Master Xun also couldn't help but carry a hint of contempt.

But Old Master Xun paid no attention, as if he acquiesced.

Only in his pupils, there was a hint of suspicion that even he himself didn't quite dare to believe.

Inside the Lun Jian Tai.

Borrowing the amplification of the Wuxing Yuanyuan Armor, Taixu Men's strength suddenly erupted, their momentum like splitting bamboo, crushing the battle lines of the Four Sects and Seven Gates like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.

Afterwards, they continued to pursue, covering and killing, cutting down nearly half of the heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates.

But the heavenly pride disciples of the Four Sects and Seven Gates were also not mediocre. After the initial shock and panic, they all gradually recovered.

Although more than half of them had died or been injured, space had also been freed up.

The inside of the valley was not that crowded, and they were no longer squeezing or stepping on each other. Instead, they had space to maneuver with Taixu Men, and under the leadership of Shi Tiangang, Qin Cangliu, Feng Zichen, and other heavenly pride disciples, they gradually stabilized their formation.

With the augmentation of the Wuxing Yuanyuan Armor, the strength of Taixu Men's disciples had increased.

Therefore, they dared not fight hard, only constantly restraining and consuming.

However, they couldn't last long; this was a principle from ancient times.

Although the amplifying strength of the Wuxing Yuanyuan Armor was strong, its consumption was also great. After the initial burst, it began to gradually weaken. As long as they persisted, they still had a chance.

The fact was indeed as they expected.

After the situation slightly eased, both sides fell into a brief standoff.

But the standoff lasted for only a moment, and soon Shi Tiangang and the others felt a palpitation in their hearts and their entire bodies turned cold.

They detected the aura of array formations.

Mo Hua!

That Mo Hua, he was painting array formations again!

Shi Tiangang glanced sideways and saw spirit ink wandering on the ground like poisonous snakes, forming array formations under their feet. Afterwards, grass and trees turned into vines, and earth and stones turned into prisons, trapping them one by one.

Linghu Xiao immediately urged his Chongxu sword qi to kill.

The Tai'a five brothers also, as if they were evil gods, swung their giant swords, cutting down a large area.

Even Shi Tiangang, who had cultivated the Jingang Buxiang body, could not withstand this combination of trapping and killing.

He was first struck by Linghu Xiao's sword, and then suffered the killing blows of the Tai'a five brothers. Cracks actually appeared on his Jingang body.

Shi Tiangang ignored his injuries and roared loudly: "Quickly kill Mo Hua!"

"Don't let him continue to paint array formations! Otherwise, we will all die!"

This sentence reminded everyone.

All the heavenly pride disciples disregarded everything and rushed towards Mo Hua like crazy to kill him...
