Chóng Míng's dual pupils flickered with divine light, and he stepped into the Ten Absolute Formations. Instead of entering the Crimson Sand Formation, he entered the Heavenly Absolute Formation, the most profound of the ten formations.
As soon as he entered the formation, the White Radiant Dragon Envoy shook his three banners. The three banners represented the immense power of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Within the formation, clouds and mist billowed, the ten Heavenly Stems intertwined, and the twelve Earthly Branches augmented.
Between the main and the auxiliary, they corresponded to the sixty Jia Zi.
Chóng Míng entered the formation, releasing a torrent of divine fire to incinerate the void and using his Eye of Illusion Breaking to spy on the reality.
His dual eyes, second only to those of the supreme mighty beings in the Phoenix clan, allowed him to see something upon entering the formation and discover the White Radiant Dragon Envoy's position.
Instantly, divine light shot from his four eyes, shattering the void. The scorching extreme light struck the White Radiant Dragon Envoy, causing him to stumble and fall from the formation's platform.
Chóng Míng, the divine bird, rose up. The wind followed the phoenix, and the fire accompanied its flight. The two extremes of wind and fire formed, and the ten Heavenly Stems and twelve Earthly Branches shattered in an instant.
The passage of time, which had been concealed, was exposed. He had been in the formation for sixty years!
The two Grand Unity Phoenix clan elders had already led the avian army away. Even with billions of birds, high-level warfare in the Primordial World was not won by numbers.
Chóng Míng's expression eased slightly. He didn't know why he could break through two formations so quickly, but it was a good thing nonetheless!
Qīng Líng, seated on the Jianmu tree, watched this scene with a smile and no words.
With his confidence boosted by breaking through two formations, Chóng Míng plunged into the Wind Roar Formation. As a phoenix, he controlled wind, giving him a natural advantage. Chóng Míng broke through the Wind Roar Formation again.
Having broken through three formations, his momentum was strong. He then entered the Crimson Water Formation. The sea of crimson water was completely incinerated by his ten thousand years of spiritual power.
The Crimson Water Formation was broken.
Next, he entered the Frost Formation and again spent ten thousand years of spiritual power to melt the extreme ice glaciers.
The Frost Formation was broken.
The Blazing Flame Formation was broken soon after, followed by the Blood Dissolving Formation, and then the Fallen Spirit Formation.
Chóng Míng broke through eight formations consecutively, feeling incredibly excited. He thought that this so-called Dao Master of Azure Profundity had underestimated him. The Chóng Míng he had suppressed back then was long gone. The current divine bird Chóng Míng was an elder of the Phoenix clan.
Even if he wasn't one of the eight prominent elders.
He looked at the remaining Golden Light Formation and Crimson Sand Formation. A thought crossed his mind: the Golden Light Formation's master was Azure Profundity Dao Master's protector, and would undoubtedly be extraordinary.
For the sake of prudence, he broke through the Crimson Sand Formation and rescued his clansmen. Even if the other party attacked, he could escape with his clansmen. Otherwise, losing two Grand Unity clansmen with immense potential would be a true loss.
Therefore, he stepped into the Crimson Sand Formation, where the crimson sand obscured Chóng Míng's vision.
He could see through all illusions in the world, but he could not see through the unpredictability of human hearts.
The power of time was embedded in the rolling crimson sand, like bloody needles piercing his pupils.
Hongjun's good corpse, far away on Tianjun Divine Mountain, did not intervene because he could not.
This was a battlefield for the supreme beings of heaven and earth. The Dragon clan could suffer losses from a newly emerged supreme being, but they would never tolerate a seasoned, rule-breaking supreme being.
The good corpse felt pity, but he was a clone of a supreme being, a clone controlled by the Heavenly Dao.
Despite his kind heart, he lacked the means to act kindly.
Under the Heavenly Dao, he could only act according to its will.
If Chóng Míng perished, the conflict between the Dragon and Phoenix clans would escalate!
The war between the three tribes was the will of the Heavenly Dao!
Even if Hongjun did not wish it, he could only guard Jade Capital Mountain.
Just as in the future, he could only influence the will of the Heavenly Dao, but not dictate it.
Chóng Míng's dual pupils lost their focus; there was no longer any light in his eyes.
While he wouldn't become blind, a large portion of his divine abilities resided in his eyes.
Losing his dual pupils meant losing fifty percent of his combat strength.
In the Golden Light Formation, Granny Hua Geng activated the Golden Light Divine Mirror. The Golden Light Formation illuminated the base of all ten formations, restoring them completely.
Chóng Míng was once again trapped in a formation within a formation, like a bird imprisoned and deprived of freedom.
Chóng Míng was trapped in the formation, breaking through it day by day, and being imprisoned day by day.
Having lost his divine pupils, he could no longer proceed unimpeded.
Each successful breakthrough brought him a small amount of fatigue.
With repeated fatigue came mistakes, and with mistakes came injuries.
Chóng Míng's injuries grew more numerous and severe. His mood after each formation break shifted from excitement to annoyance, then to doubt, and finally to numb indifference.
After breaking through the formation one hundred thousand times, Chóng Míng's mind had been lost within the Ten Absolute Formations.
One hundred thousand times, and each time the formations were different. Therefore, even after breaking through one hundred thousand times, Chóng Míng had not deduced the method to break the formations.
The divine flames within the Ten Absolute Heavenly Lanterns cast not only light but also the flow of time.
Chóng Míng wandered in the passage of time. Without external intervention, he would be forever lost in time.
Qīng Líng's primordial spirit gradually recovered, and the Black Phoenix Saint King beneath the Jianmu tree grew increasingly powerful, fully mastering the divine abilities of a supreme being.
Their next confrontation would determine the victor!
On Phoenix Terrace, Yuan Feng pondered for a long time.
Beside her, Ancestor Qing Luan asked, "The situation across the lands has reached a stalemate. Even with the combined forces of the Qilin clan, we only hold a slight advantage. Are you truly confident in our actions?"
Yuan Feng shook her head, "I have no confidence. Which supreme being in the world is easy to deal with? Let alone those who have recently attained the Hunyuan realm?"
Qing Luan sighed, "Then we should not have acted back then."
"No, Qing Luan, I have never regretted acting."
Yuan Feng's majesty faded, and she gently placed her hand on her belly, saying softly, "I feel a connection and will soon bear offspring!"
Qing Luan's expression turned blank. After a long pause, she realized that the person before her was the peerless supreme being who had once graced the world with her brilliance. "You, you mean you have offspring?"
"Indeed!" Yuan Feng's gentleness gradually receded. "The Dragon gives birth to nine sons, and the Phoenix bears twin offspring. My children, Yuan Feng's children, will surely not be weaker than the Dragon's nine sons!"
Qing Luan said with a heavy heart, "But the innate endowments of heaven and earth are exhausted, and the grand trend is unclear. Your child... the young master may find it difficult..."
"Heh! What difficulty is there?" Yuan Feng chuckled. "In this Primordial World, there is no one Yuan Feng fears. For the sake of my offspring, I will plan no matter how dangerous! Moreover, do you think our three tribes can coexist peacefully with the Great Gods and Great Demons?"
Qing Luan sighed, "Indeed. Although it is a war between our three tribes now, it is also a struggle between the Great Gods and Great Demons! Each of these remnants of the Chaos Gods and Demons is a terrifying being. But the most important thing now is to defeat the Dragon clan, strengthen the Phoenix clan's dominant position, contend for the authority of heaven and earth, and help you achieve Hunyuan!"
Yuan Feng shook her head. "I no longer have the opportunity for Hunyuan. This is the end of my era. I have conceived twin offspring and have no chance for this opportunity. I can only do my best and give all I have to help my children!" At this point, a cold smile appeared in her eyes. "Just wait, a great change is coming to the Dragon clan!"
In the Eastern Forest Secret Realm, the Dragon clan army had launched a counterattack. Ancestor Azure Dragon, with a triumphant smile, kept mocking Ancestor White Tiger.
White Tiger felt extremely awkward and simply drank his tea, not engaging in conversation.
Just then, Ancestor Azure Dragon, who had been smiling all along, suddenly stood up and said, "White Tiger, look what that is?"
