Chapter 353 – Improved Formation! Ten Direction Demon Sealing Array!

Time flowed like water.

Flowers bloomed and withered, and several days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, inside Fuhai District.

Qin Yang stood before a sandalwood table, with a stack of rice paper solemnly laid out in front of him.

Outside the window, petals fell like rain. His eyes were slightly closed, as he completely relied on his divine sense to perceive the surrounding environment.

Holding the Vermilion Brush, he meticulously traced along the patterns.

With each stroke, mysterious array inscriptions gradually emerged on the rice paper, smooth and rounded like flowing water, with every connecting detail perfectly aligned.

A short while later.

An array diagram leaped vividly onto the paper.

Every inch of the array inscriptions was meticulously structured, and the overall arrangement was flawless, completely surpassing the original version from the tortoiseshell rubbing, revealing a sense of surpassing the master.

“Finally completed.”

“Hah!”

Picking up the rice paper and setting down the brush, Qin Yang let out a long sigh, gently flicked the corner of the paper, and opened his eyes to examine the array inscriptions, a gleam of sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Several days had passed since he began comprehending the Eight Directions Demon Sealing Array.

With the assistance of the Enlightenment Space during this period, the array formation was finally perfected.

Originally designed for eight individuals, the array now included two additional positions, directly multiplying its power and spell-casting range several times over!

It had been upgraded to version 2.0.

The Ten Direction Demon Sealing Array!

“Tsk, those predecessors who drew the original should really see this—this is what true skill looks like.”

Qin Yang pinched his chin and sighed, reflecting that he was not a bloodthirsty person, yet he felt quite satisfied with the improved Ten Direction Demon Sealing Array.

For a fierce deity like the Beast God, a mass murderer, utmost caution was necessary. The slightest carelessness would be a disrespect to his own life and the safety of those around him.

Although the original Eight Directions Demon Sealing Array was profound.

After days of research, Qin Yang had still identified several issues.

The biggest flaw was that it could only seal one area of the world and was highly susceptible to external erosion. Within this sealed space, the Beast God could not only move freely but also attempt to corrode the array formation and send out divine sense to influence the outside world!

Nangong Li from this era was a prime example.

If it weren’t for the Beast God Sect interfering with the array, the Beast God wouldn’t have been released so early!

Qin Yang couldn’t guarantee that, five hundred years later, no one would be deceived by the Beast God’s divine sense, leading to a second or even a third “Nangong Li”…

“There are just too many variables.”

Qin Yang sighed helplessly, suddenly realizing that relying solely on a hundred years of solitary confinement to wear down the Beast God was far too lenient.

So, after much thought, Qin Yang took the time to speed things up.

He reinforced the Ten Direction Demon Sealing Array with various smaller arrays inside.

As long as the Beast God remained confined within the array, countless tortures awaited him… ten thousand swords piercing his heart, wind, thunder, and molten sun striking him, mountain aura and thunder shaking him.

Tsk, ensuring the Beast God could neither live nor die!

As he pondered the acceleration process.

Qin Yang suddenly recalled the previous “Ascension” secret technique.

After Lin Mofeng had given him the technique, he had been too busy perfecting the array formation to practice it. Now, he could finally give it a try.

If he applied the “Ascension” secret technique to his doppelganger, could it break through realms?

Could it reach Mid-stage Celestial Venerable Realm?

“Let’s test it out.”

With this thought, Qin Yang immediately put it into action. Recalling the secret technique in his mind, he gently raised a finger and released a Blood Doppelganger to stand in the corner.

Immediately after.

The secret technique in his mind synchronized with the doppelganger.After receiving the command, the doppelganger immediately began to emulate the process, circulating Star Power along the meridian pathways.

Boom!

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room grew scorching hot!

The doppelganger, having activated the secret technique, contorted in agony. Veins bulged densely across its face, writhing like furious serpents beneath the skin, while its pupils turned crimson and ferocious.

It resembled a demonic deity!

Its aura was utterly terrifying and menacing.

Simultaneously, the energy around it surged layer by layer, seemingly progressing toward the mid-stage as intended.

“It’s really advancing?”

Observing this, Qin Yang furrowed his brows, carefully studying the doppelganger’s condition. He mentally recorded the details and continued to monitor its state closely.

The energy rose as anticipated.

But the favorable situation was short-lived. Within a few breaths, just as it was about to peak into the mid-stage—

An anomaly abruptly occurred!

The doppelganger suddenly aged, its skin covered with deep, crisscrossing wrinkles, and its hair turned stark white. In an instant, all its vitality dissipated.

As if its lifespan had been stripped away overnight.

Its realm stagnated accordingly, ultimately halting at the early stage of the Celestial Venerable Realm, hovering without progress and even showing signs of regression.

“As expected, it still doesn’t work.”

Seeing this, Qin Yang did not delve further. He decisively ceased his efforts and released control over the doppelganger.

Pfft—

The next moment, the doppelganger violently spat out a mist of blood, its spirit withered, and it helplessly collapsed to the ground.

After forcibly using the Ascension secret technique, its cultivation began to dissipate at an alarming rate. In the blink of an eye, it plummeted to the peak of the Earth Venerable Realm, far inferior to the effects of the Star Array.

“It’s actually this severe.”

By carefully sensing the doppelganger’s condition, Qin Yang finally grasped the intricacies of the secret technique.

This so-called “Ascension” technique was indeed powerful.

But it operated in complete opposition to the Star Array, relying purely on the cost of lifespan.

Although it had remarkable effects for directly elevating realms within the Earth Venerable Realm,

the gap between realms in the Celestial Venerable Realm was simply too vast to bridge. Attempting to replicate the process to break through to the mid-stage was entirely impossible.

Unless the secret technique was modified and refined further…

“Never mind, I’ll set it aside for now.”

After thorough contemplation, Qin Yang decided to put the matter aside and stop dwelling on it. He rose and headed toward the door, intending to step out for some fresh air.

After all, the profundity of the Array Formation was not something that could be modified overnight. It would be better to make plans later.

Just then.

Clang—

A crisp metallic clatter echoed from outside the courtyard.

A wisp of Sword Qi drifted into the room.

“Hmm?”

Qin Yang slightly frowned, sensing the Sword Qi as he glanced toward the courtyard.

He realized that while he had been deeply focused, the courtyard outside had already crowded with people. Liu Wushuang, Elder Li, and others had formed a large circle, spectating like an audience.

In the center of the circle, two figures weaved and shifted.

………

“Wretched woman, take this!”

In the courtyard, the sun slanted westward, and tender willow branches swayed in the breeze. A human and a fox-like figure darted around, sparring with lethal moves.

Xiaobai extended her claws, aiming straight for Li Zixuan’s chest.

Li Zixuan deflected with a sword, dispersing the strike toward Xiaobai’s palm, then pointed her blade at the vital spot on Xiaobai’s neck, meeting aggression with aggression.

The two were locked in fierce combat.

But Xiaobai was clearly at a disadvantage, constantly pressured by Li Zixuan’s Swordplay. Sword light flickered all around her, leaving no room to divert her focus. It seemed her stance was on the verge of breaking.

The next moment, Xiaobai’s delicate nose twitched slightly, and she gritted her teeth.

Boom!Her figure instantly vanished from the spot, the white fur exploding like blooming flowers scattering in all directions. Immediately after, the falling fur took root and transformed into countless fox shadows.

It had actually materialized into densely packed clones, with fox phantoms filling the sky and scattering everywhere, dazzling all onlookers.

They charged directly toward Li Zixuan!
