Chapter 1171: Xiao Yi is Useless

“It is indeed a trap!”

Jiang Yi was actually not that flustered; after all, Jiang Yunhai and company had been rescued. This had put him at ease. Although they were trapped—if they remained within the Mystic Divine Palace, they would not be in any imminent danger. Jiang Yi could slowly think of a way to break through.

Swish!

Jiang Yi navigated the Mystic Divine Palace and banged heavily on the city walls. If Heaven Evasion could not be used, couldn’t he smash and break the formation instead?

Boom!

That slam created a loud explosive sound. However, the formation was not affected in the slightest. Instead, the Mystic Divine Palace’s restrictions kept on flashing while the city walls had been blown into pieces. The purple shell was just outside the city walls and could be seen as clear as day. It was enveloping the entire city.

Boom! Boom!

Jiang Yi still did not believe that there was no way out; he repeatedly controlled the Mystic Divine Palace and flew in every direction, smashing all the city walls and destroying them. However, the purple shell was round and encircled the entire city. Jiang Yi felt like an insect trapped inside that purple shell. No matter how he slammed into it, he could not get out.

Boom! Boom!

Jiang Yi continued to use the Mystic Divine Palace and focused at a single spot, continuously ramming into it. Jiang Yi believed that any formation required energy to maintain; the Mystic Divine Palace still contained a huge amount of energy. How long could the formation’s energy last for?

Tsk! Tsk!

After the hundredth time of banging, the purple formation started to flash a purple light. Following that, lightning bolts glistened above the purple shell. The wind and clouds above the formation shifted as from the Nine Heavens, beams of purple lightning bolts as thick as huge dragons struck from above.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanying these lightning bolts were the roaring sounds of thunder from the Nine Heavens. These sounds were so loud that they resounded in a five-hundred-kilometer radius; the thunder sounded like it was the end of the world. If an ordinary Vajra Realm martial artist had been outside Stupa City, he would probably have been shaken to death by the lightning and thunder.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosive noises also rang out incessantly in Stupa City. That lightning bolt had struck the purple formation. However, the purple shell did not tremble even the slightest; the lightning bolt instead passed through the purple shell and struck inside it indiscriminately. All the pavilions and castles in Stupa City were all blown to bits. Those few black-robed men also perished. The Mystic Divine Palace had been struck at least ten times in this instance!

“Bastard! What kind of formation is this? How could it be so terrifying?”

Jiang Yi could hear the explosive noises even from inside the Mystic Divine Palace. The lightning bolts that were zapping about indiscriminately were too fast. Although Jiang Yi tried to control the Mystic Divine Palace and evade them, there were lightning bolts everywhere within the formation. Jiang Yi could not evade them at all.

Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and started slamming into the shell again while the lightning bolts continued to strike from the sky. This formation was similar to the Sky Thunder Island’s Thunder Gathering Array and could attract lightning from the sky. If Jiang Yi did not break through this formation, the energy within the Mystic Divine Palace would—sooner or later—be used up. At that point, the Mystic Divine Palace would be destroyed. Jiang Yi would have to die with it as well.

Bang!

Furthermore, the shell was encircled by many lightning bolts. Whenever Jiang Yi tried to slam the purple shell, he would trigger the lightning bolts; and the Mystic Divine Palace would be knocked backwards. Jiang Yi checked the Mystic Divine Palace’s remaining energy and didn’t dare to continue his barrage; the energy level of the Mystic Divine Palace was being used up too quickly.

Too many lightning bolts were encircling the purple shell. Furthermore, after they were exhausted, they were immediately replenished. The formation was getting a recharge from the lightning bolts; the Mystic Divine Palace on its own was definitely insufficient to break through the purple formation!

It was an inescapable situation.

Jiang Yi realized that he had utterly no options. He could only wait for the lightning bolts to completely exhaust the Mystic Divine Palace’s energy. After that; he, Jiang Yunhai, and the others would be struck to death.

“Calm down, calm down! Jiang Yi, if you do not calm down, you will die. If you die, everyone in the Mystic Divine Palace will die as well; Yin Ruobing and the others would be in trouble, too!” Jiang Yi navigated the Mystic Divine Palace to avoid the lightning bolts while forcing himself to calm down. He was thinking furiously to try and find a way to break through this formation.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

This formation was currently triggering the lightning bolts from the Nine Heavens. The sound of thunder was filling the air; this place seemed to have turned into Sky Thunder Island.

Furthermore, in this place, the lightning bolts did not stop; on Sky Thunder Island, the lightning bolts did not strike at night. Thus, this formation was definitely much stronger and more terrifying than the Sky Thunder Island’s Thunder Gathering Array. On Sky Thunder Island, lightning bolts would strike once in a while; here, the lightning bolts were striking incessantly. Moreover, there were ten streaks of lightning striking at the same time.

The Mystic Divine Palace had accumulated hundreds of thousands of years of energy. Some of it had been used up at Mystic Thearch City, at Evil Thearch City, and at Beast Thearch City. Particularly in Beast Thearch City, a significant amount of energy had been used. The usage of Heaven Evasion also required energy. Hence, Jiang Yi had probably used up one-tenth of the energy stored in the Mystic Divine Palace.

Jiang Yi silently calculated. If this formation did not stop and continued to strike down lightning bolts, the Mystic Divine Palace could at most last for half a year. If Jiang Yi could not think of a way out within this half a year; he, Jiang Yunhai, Shui Youlan, and the others would be turned into a fine powder.

“Half a year, I still have half a year! Don’t rush; the more I rush, the messier things will be. I will use up energy faster as well!”

Jiang Yi took a few deep breaths and slowly started to calm down. This formation had obviously been created by the mastermind. The Zi Clan, Shi Clan, and the others among the thirty-six clans had been controlled by the mastermind or perhaps made use of.

Jiang Yunhai and company were the bait; this formation was a net, a net that could trap him and kill him!

The mastermind was obviously clear that Jiang Yi would not abandon the Mystic Divine Palace; Jiang Yi was not that stupid. Now that Jiang Yi had been made use of twice, the mastermind might have thought that Jiang Yi did not have any value left and so had set this trap to destroy the Mystic Divine Palace, to kill Jiang Yi.

“Could the mastermind really be Ao Lu?”

No one had heard of such a terrifying formation such as this before. Furthermore, this formation had only taken a month and had been quietly and successfully set-up. The person who laid this formation was definitely an expert at devising formation restrictions. His ability was even greater than the Mystic Thearch’s. Jiang Yi felt that even the Mystic Divine Palace’s restrictions could not match up to this formation’s.

Ao Lu had been stuck in the Mystic Divine Palace for seven hundred thousand years; his ability to set restrictions must be very high. He had laid one such formation in the Endless Deep Sea and had enveloped the entire Endless Deep Sea. Besides that, the numerous special formations in the sea were all unheard of.

Besides him, who else could lay out such a formation?

“Xiaonu...”

Thinking of Ao Lu, Jiang Yi then thought of Jiang Xiaonu as he winced. His just-settled heart started to panic again. If Jiang Yunhai woke up, Jiang Yi did not know how to explain to him about Jiang Xiaonu’s whereabouts.

“Grandfather!”

Jiang Yi’s heart was shaken as he looked towards Jiang Yunhai and the others that he had teleported in. After rescuing them, he had not checked up on them yet. He used his divine senses and relaxed after discovering that none of them had been hurt or tortured. The mastermind was so benevolent this time? All of them had only been fed with pills that turned them unconscious.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi took out a few awakening soul elixirs and fed everyone. It wasn’t long before Shui Youlan woke up first. She blinked dazedly as suddenly, a killing aura surged from her body. She angrily shot up, and a long sword appeared in her hand. After she saw that it was Jiang Yi, her expression immediately became one of having seen a ghost. She rubbed her eyes and trembled as she asked, “You... are Jiang Yi?”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and said, “Hostess Shui, long time, no see!”

“Jiang Yi, is that really you?”

Even though it had been a few years, Shui Youlan had not changed much; she was as beautiful as ever. However, at this moment, her face was white as a sheet of paper. She asked frantically, “Jiang Yi, where are we now? Have you met Qianrou? How is Starfall Island now?”

“Hostess, Qianrou is fine. Please calm down.”

Jiang Yi comforted her as he saw that Jiang Yunhai was awakening. He hurriedly walked over, knelt down in front of Jiang Yunhai, and respectfully bowed thrice. He said, “Grandfather, Xiao Yi is useless. I have made you guys suffer. I have implicated hundreds of millions of people on the Stellarsky Continent as well...”

“Xiao Yi!”

Jiang Yunhai had aged much. Although he had used the celestial stones Jiang Yi had left him and reached the peak stage of the Soul Travel Realm, he was short of an arm. His body was not complete, and so he aged faster.

Jiang Yunhai also could not believe what he was seeing and rubbed his eyes. After ascertaining that it was really Jiang Yi, he then shouted and said, “Xiao Yi, stand up! What did Grandfather teach you? Men can only stand and live not kneel and die. Stand up!”
