The bronze statues were huge. Even their chests were more than ten meters tall.
Just now, I had used all my strength to resist the bronze statue's attack. I had almost used up all the True Essence in my body. In addition, I was seriously injured. When I fell, I didn't have the strength to stabilize my body.
A distance of more than ten meters wasn't high. With the strength of my body, it wouldn't cause any harm. However, I was already injured. If I fell to the ground, it would inevitably worsen my injuries.
Fortunately, the fatty had been paying attention to the situation here. When he saw me fall, he immediately flew over and hugged my body in midair, bringing me back to the high platform.
After landing, I couldn't help but cough out a mouthful of blood. The fatty asked me with concern, "How are you? Are your injuries serious?"
Even if I used all my Zhenqi, I still couldn't resist the full blow of a Perfect Yang Spirit expert. If it weren't for Wuyue's zither music, I'm afraid that I would have lost myself in this risky attack. "
In such a situation, my injuries were naturally not light.
I opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but my chest felt stuffy. My throat was full of blood that I had vomited. I couldn't speak at all. I could only shake my head at the fatty, signaling him not to worry. Then, I endured the pain and controlled the True Dragon Qi in the jade bracelet to flow out. I turned it into True Essence and Dao Qi to nourish my body.
At this time, Wuyue also returned to the high platform. He quickly walked to my side with a worried face. Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden rumbling sound.
The fatty and Wuyue immediately looked over. Although my chest was still in pain, I gritted my teeth and looked over.
I saw that a small portion of the bronze statues that had fallen to the ground had stood up again. They were the nine bronze statues in the Nine Palace Formation with keyholes on their bodies.
When I first saw them, I was shocked. I thought that my speculation was wrong and that the small cauldron couldn't solve the problem.
However, I soon discovered that the nine bronze statues hadn't recovered their intelligence. Their bodies didn't move at all, and they weren't standing up. They were floating...
In the chests of the nine bronze statues, the nine small cauldrons emitted a buzzing sound at the same time. Moreover, they emitted a kind of dark light as they floated upwards. Unexpectedly, they actually carried the nine huge bronze statues up into the air!
The three of us focused on this strange scene. I was so surprised that I even forgot to absorb the True Dragon Qi in the jade bracelet.
The nine bronze statues flew higher and higher until they reached the top of the cave. I didn't know if they hit the ceiling or if they couldn't fly anymore, but they finally stopped.
At this time, the Nine Cauldrons buzzed even more violently. The entire cave seemed to be buzzing and shaking.
Following that, the nine bronze statues moved again. They changed their direction and began to float forward. Soon, they formed a circle and began to rotate on the top of the cave with their heads and tails intersecting.
Using the Ninth Continent Cauldrons to break the formation was only my guess. Now that I had found the keyhole and the bronze statue had stopped attacking, it basically proved that my guess was correct. However, I didn't know what caused this situation, nor did I know if it was the opening ceremony after breaking the formation.
After waiting for a while, the nine bronze statues in the sky spun even faster, but apart from that, there was still no other movement.
I was a little anxious and turned to ask the fatty, "Fatty, is this formation broken or not?"
The fatty turned around with a smile on his face. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, the Ten Absolute Ancient Formation has been destroyed."
Hearing what he said, I felt relieved.
In terms of array formations, Fatty was the authority. If he said it was broken, then it was definitely broken.
But since the formation is broken, why didn't it open like I thought?
While he was still puzzled, Fatty spoke up.
He said to Wuyue and I. "The Ten Absolute Ancient Formations are called the Ten Absolute Formations, but there are only nine formations that are interconnected.
However, the tenth array formation still existed. It would only appear when the array formation was broken.
Based on the movements of the bronze statues, the tenth formation was about to appear.
When the tenth formation appears, the hidden effects of the formation will be fully revealed, so there's no need to be anxious now. "
So that's how it is. Previously, when Fatty explained the Ten Absolute Ancient Formation, I was still a little puzzled. So that's how the word 'ten' in the Ten Absolute Ancient Formation came about.
Since Fatty said that it was fine, I completely relaxed and retracted my gaze. I continued to absorb the True Dragon Qi in the jade bracelet with all my strength, recovering the True Essence in my body while quietly waiting for the result.
As time passed, the nine statues suddenly stopped moving at the same time. The Nine Imperial Cauldrons also stopped trembling. Instead, the nine bronze statues opened their eyes at the same time. They didn't look in our direction, but raised their heads to the sky and roared in unison.
Following the movements of the nine statues, the gazes of the three of us instantly followed. Lifting our heads to look at the sky, we saw that the originally smooth arc dome had unknowingly appeared with a massive pitch-black Nine Palaces Great Array. It was continuously rotating, and the nine statues had hidden themselves within the array, instantly disappearing without a trace.
After Fatty's explanation, I roughly understood that this should be the last formation of the Ten Absolute Ancient Formation.
Since the Nine Imperial Cauldrons had suppressed the first nine Nine Palaces Great Formations, the last formation would also be suppressed, and the door would open smoothly.
Just as I was relaxing, Fatty suddenly shouted, "Oh no!" and pulled me and Wuyue down the high platform.
After jumping off the high platform, Fatty didn't stop. Instead, he carried me and frantically ran towards the cave entrance that we had come from, shouting for Wuyue to quickly follow him.
Although Wuyue didn't understand what was going on, seeing how anxious Fatty was, he naturally knew that what was going to happen next wouldn't be good, so he also ran with us.
After the fatty brought us away from the high platform, the Nine Palaces Great Array on the dome also activated. The pitch-black Nine Palaces Great Array suddenly cast a pitch-black light screen. The light screen was like concentrated acid. The moment it fell, the originally clean and flawless high platform turned pitch-black. Soon after, it was like quicksand, turning into countless black streams that brandished their fangs and claws as they flowed towards the bronze statues in the surroundings.
After running for a few steps, I came back to my senses and turned around to look. I saw countless black shadows chasing after us. Even those incomparably hard bronze statues couldn't resist the corrosion of those black shadows. If it wasn't for the fatty who discovered them early and brought us to escape, we would've had to face those black shadows head-on. The result would've been obvious.
Fatty was so tired that he was panting. As he ran, he explained to us, "This is the Heaven Square Earth Circle Pattern. In terms of formations, such a pattern represents the heaven and earth. If the formation is broken, the heaven and earth will be broken.
The person who set up the formation placed the Ten Absolute Formation in such a pattern. How could he open the door? He simply wanted to kill the person who broke the formation.
Fortunately, this Fat Lord's attainments in the Dao of Formations are extraordinary, and I was able to see through the trick. Otherwise, we would have been finished … "
How could this be?
I frowned. From Chiyou's Shoulder Tomb, it was obvious that Chiyou's tomb had left something for his descendants. He hoped that they would enter and obtain it.
Although there were obstacles, they were set up for others. The descendants of the Nine Cauldrons Clan who held the Nine Cauldrons Cauldrons could enter safely.
Logically speaking, the situation in the Skull Tomb should be the same. Why was it like this?
I didn't understand, so I turned to look at Wuyue. It was obvious that she didn't expect such a situation after the formation was broken. She looked at me in shock, and her eyes were apologetic.
