262: Chapter 140 Challenge Number One_1 262: Chapter 140 Challenge Number One_1 The magic duel of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s tournament had entered its third day, and four disciples from Four Treasures Peak had successively stepped onto the stage.
This was the fourth time the crowd had witnessed the Unparalleled Formation Plate, but they were surprised to discover that this Array Plate was different from the ones they had seen before.
Ling Xi unfolded the Array Plate, and the massive Formation Map spread across the entire stage.
Following that, a series of talismans appeared before her.
63 talismans converged, forming the shape of the Eight Trigrams, and in an instant, waves of vast and boundless oppressive force fell upon the surroundings.
All around, the arrays of the other nine stages were triggered once more, and screens of light rose up.
“What Divine Weapon is this?”
“Talismans?
Just individual talismans can exude such an aura?”
“This aura is not a bit inferior to the Grieving Anger Dragon Blade that Yan Yourong pulled out earlier!”
“This is…” Chen Qingluan stared at the talismans in the distance, a thoughtful expression crossing her face.
Then, her surprise grew more intense.
She exclaimed in disbelief, “Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman!
This is the strongest Divine Weapon of the second generation Sect Leader!
How did she get her hands on such a Divine Weapon!”
“Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman!”
Within the Hundred Peaks Sect, peak masters who recognized the Divine Weapon couldn’t help but cry out in shock.
Around them, the disciples who heard the words of the peak masters felt almost driven mad by the news.
“Divine Weapon of the second-generation Sect Leader?”
“How does she possess a Divine Weapon of the second-generation Sect Leader?”
“What kind of people are at Four Treasures Peak?
Among five disciples, four possess Divine Weapons, and three of them wield Divine Weapons once owned by a Sect Leader!”
However, the disciples from the Hidden Dragon Observatory were calm; this Divine Weapon was not new to them.
Everyone was further astounded to find that in the Unparalleled Formation which Ling Xi cast, each position of the trigram emitted a beam of brilliant light that shot up into the sky.
The Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman also radiated beams of light.
Beams of light converged in the sky – the Formation Map and the talisman were tightly linked together, resembling both a Divine Weapon and a Formation Map, like heaven and earth intertwined!
And it was Ling Xi who bridged this heaven and earth.
Above the Formation Map and on the talismans, beams of light gathered and fell upon Ling Xi, bathing her in a luminous aura.
Upon the stage, Zi Xuan’s gaze became increasingly solemn.
Just moments ago, only the ground beneath their feet had changed, but as Ling Xi released the Heaven and Earth Eight Trigrams Map, both heaven and earth, above and below, transformed completely.
He even felt the illusion that the entirety of heaven and earth was under the opponent’s control.
“What’s going on?
Why does it feel like the Formation Map deployed by Ling Xi is different from those her junior brothers and sisters cast?”
“No, it’s the same Formation Map, but it seems that her talismans and Formation Map have merged into a new Formation Map, or should we say, a Divine Weapon?”
“We’re just standing outside, yet we can sense the repetitive waves of suppressive force emanating from this Formation Map.
I wonder how brother Wu Que is faring…”
Wu Que’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
He could feel an invisible force assailing him, tightly constraining him.
Eighty percent?
His face suddenly revealed a look of astonishment.
Yesterday, some junior brothers had inquired about their fights with Four Treasures Peak disciples.
Wu Fa and Wu Ming both felt they could use about eighty percent of their power when facing Four Treasures Peak disciples, whereas Wu Wei managed about ninety percent of his power.
It seemed that the reason was that Yi Sheng, who fought with Wu Wei, was a major Cultivation Realm below Wu Wei, and was thus only suppressed to having ninety percent of his strength remaining.
At the same Cultivation Realm, it would likely be suppressed to only eighty percent of one’s strength.
Yet, he had already condensed a Golden Core, a whole major Cultivation Realm above Ling Xi.
Now, within this Formation Map, he felt that he could only use about eighty percent of his power.
What’s more uncomfortable was the force of restraint.
Since he was a Golden Core cultivator, if one were only a Core Formation cultivator contesting Ling Xi, how much strength would be left after suppression?
The news that Ling Xi was stronger than the other Four Treasures Peak disciples appeared to be true.
However, she was facing him, already a Golden Core cultivator.
No matter how strong she was, being only at Core Formation realm, she stood not the slightest chance against him.
Ling Xi resonated with the Unparalleled Formation Plate and Heaven and Earth Bagua Formation, her inner aura surged to a fixed point, and she swung her arm outward forcefully.
Instantly, eight talismans from the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman flew out, transforming into a golden holy sword in the sky.
With a formidable edge as if it could pierce through all things under heaven, it thrust violently towards Wu Que.
Wu Que watched this fearsome sword without any change in expression.
He simply reached out, grabbed his sleeve lightly, and flicked it outward.
Suddenly, golden radiance burst forth, its majestic light endless as the sea, as if a Buddhist Law had converged into a golden ocean.
For a moment, sonorous Buddhist chants echoed through Immortal Gathering Peak.
The sword formed by the eight talismans had barely touched the golden Buddhist radiance before it instantly dissipated, while the sea of golden Buddhist light continued to sweep towards Ling Xi.
From the crown of Ling Xi, within the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, another twelve talismans flew out, converging before her and instantly forming a massive mountain.
The mountain seemed to connect heaven and earth, standing guard before her.
As the Buddhist radiance fell, the mountain shook violently, visibly dissipating at the same rate as it clashed with the golden light.
