Chapter 1250: Challenge (Part 3)

Above his head was the cauldron’s lid and around him was the cauldron’s body. One side was red-hot thanks to the raging red flames, while another side flickered with a green luster. Down below was a sea of raging flames, and in the middle were several floating flaming stones. Ye Chen was standing on one of them!
This formation was based on the Tri-Fire Dao!
The alchemy cauldron seemed to be 100 meters tall, but from the outside, it was far smaller. It seemed that the Universe Dao had played a part in altering the size difference of the cauldron in and outside the formation.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The red flames turned into thirty fire snakes and the green flames turned into three fire dragons.
The flaming apparitions were vivid and life-like, and they opened their mouths and spat out raging flames that flew past Ye Chen’s ear, burning it black. Even his golden body could not withstand such raging flames.
“Hiss…”
Ye Chen gasped. He no longer dared to underestimate this formation!
He brandished the Demon Slaying Sword and released a large amount of sword qi, which swept out in all directions to block the attacks of the fire snakes and fire dragons.
In the Samsara Graveyard, Chen Anping sat cross-legged as he watched the scene outside with interest. “Not bad. The Universe Fire Formation!”
“It seems this fellow has cultivated the Tri-Fire Dao to an extremely profound level. Of course, this formation probably wasn’t set up by him alone.”
“Of course!” Nie Baijian shook his head slightly. “These 108 formations involve more than 200 Great Daos. Some are strong and some are weak. If he was really capable of setting all of these up, he would have already reached the Star Aperture realm!”

“A Star Aperture realm expert can destroy the Kunlun Mountains with one strike! Only such an expert can comprehend this many Great Daos.”
“However, he is nowhere close to this level of strength.”
Nie Baijian’s eyes were very sharp, and he figured out how strong the master of the Blood Demon Mountain was quickly.
He said slowly, “This fellow was seriously injured one to two thousand years ago. His cultivation level dropped from the Divine King realm to what it is now, and it’s still deteriorating. It seems that his injuries are very serious.”
“Yes!”
“That being said, although his cultivation foundation has fallen, he still retained some of his Divine King immortal energy, and has been trying to heal his body and Great Dao,” Wang Gantian said.
“Of the 108 formations, more than ninety of them are very weak, and can only kill Supreme Emperor realm experts.”
“Do you want to help the tomb master break the array?”
“Not for now!” Nie Baijian’s eyes turned blood-red as he focused his gaze on the formations outside. He said after a while, “The power of the Great Daos contained in these formations are mostly reactive, and can only attack according to a fixed sequence!”
“Therefore, it’s obvious that the power of the Great Daos was taken from someone else!”
“What do you mean?” Chen Anping asked. “Wait. The Blood Demon Mountain is filled with skeletons. There are corpses of Supreme Emperor realm and Semi Divine realm experts everywhere on the Myriad Demon Stairs. Did he take away the embryonic forms of these experts’ Great Dao before they died and use them to set up these formations?”
Interesting, interesting!
This fellow was truly ruthless, and had not hesitated to kill so many Supreme Emperor realm and Semi Divine realm experts.
However, why did he bother creating all of these formations?
Was he trying to build a fortress that could not be broken through by anyone who was not a late-stage Semi Divine realm expert?
After all, his house was behind the 108 formations.
“This person is a little crazy!”
“In fact, I’m a little intrigued,” Wang Gantian said, “Maybe it’s to stop a powerful enemy! Although this person is only an early-stage Semi Divine realm expert, with his trump cards, he most likely can unleash power comparable to a late-stage Semi Divine realm expert.”
“If he wants to kill the tomb master, things will get dangerous.”
“If that happens, we’ll attack!”
“There’s no need to rush, though,” Nie Baijian smiled and said, “How can an ordinary genius be compared to the tomb master?”
He stood with his hands behind his back and said slowly, “The tomb master has been through hundreds of battles and emerged victorious every time. As long as he keeps his wits about him, this time will be no different.”
How could someone with the Reincarnation Bloodline be killed by a half-crippled expert, even if that expert had once been a Divine King realm expert?
“Look!”
“The tomb master has broken through the Universe Fire Formation and absorbed the universe power contained within it. I knew he could do it!”
“He did it in less than ten minutes too!”
“Impressive!” Even Chen Anping nodded in approval. The tomb master was truly a peerless genius.
“The tomb master’s Slaughter Dao seems to have transformed. However, he hasn’t advanced to the Supreme Emperor realm yet.”
“Does he want to become the first person to advance to the Supreme Emperor realm with three Daos?” Nie Baijian murmured, his eyes filled with surprise!
Ordinary experts would need hundreds of years to perfect an embryonic form of a Great Dao, and even so, the resulting increase in combat strength was limited.
The tomb master was actually trying to nurture and perfect three embryonic forms of the Great Dao at the same time. Even with the tomb master’s talent, he would probably need some time to do this.
However, if he succeeded, once he reached the Supreme Emperor realm, his blood essence and energy, as well as soul power, would undergo another qualitative change. At that point, he would probably be as strong as a sixth-level Semi Divine realm expert!
A first-level Supreme Emperor realm expert with the combat strength of a sixth-level Semi Divine realm expert…
It was mind-boggling and simply terrifying!
Had it not been for the difficulty of perfecting three embryonic forms of the Great Dao, the tomb master’s cultivation level would likely have been a lot higher by now.
While the ancient mighty experts were still discussing the situation in the Samsara Graveyard, streaks of sword qi were already flying everywhere on the Blood Demon Mountain, revealing their world-destroying aura.
Bang! Bang!
Crack!
One formation after another was destroyed by Ye Chen’s sword qi. These formations did not have the power to kill Semi Divine realm experts, so it was not worthwhile challenging them. He could simply destroy them from the outside!
