997 Battle with Endless Heavenly Venerables
In order to study the Myriad Worlds Array, Heavenly Venerable Guangfa, Duan Chengzi, had dedicated his life’s effort.

In the first half of his life, he extensively studied immortal and daoist methods, merging all paths into one and transforming them into the foundation of array dao.

Afterward, he devoted all his thoughts to silently cultivating the Myriad Worlds Array.

He had previously expressed his hope to teach Han Muye to control even a trace of the power of the Myriad Worlds Array within a hundred years, but it was merely his wish.

The power of his Essence Spirit could only last for a hundred years.

!!
It took him a total of 3,000 years to progress from researching the Myriad Worlds Array to mastering a trace of its power.

However, Han Muye brought him an incredible surprise.

In less than 10 days, Han Muye had already grasped all the basic formations of the Myriad Worlds Array and even derived three modifications, correcting some minor mistakes.

These three corrections were extremely subtle, and there seemed to be no noticeable effect on the activation and operation of the array dao.
However, when the formations were superimposed, the power of the array underwent tremendous changes.

Duan Chengzi deeply regretted the mistakes in the array.

If there were no mistakes, this array could have connected with the immortal realm!

“Buzz!”

A brilliant light radiated from Han Muye’s hand, colliding with a dim light mass ahead.

On it, streams of light flickered, and the power of space was stimulated.

“Boom—”

A complex light formation on the main hall shimmered, and a figure fell from within the light formation.

It was nearly 10 feet tall. Its entire body was clad in worn black battle armor, with a broken spear in hand.

That figure had long lost any signs of life.

“The battle armor of the Divine Court…”

Duan Chengzi’s face showed a hint of sadness.

“What a pity…”

Regrettably, the Divine Court collapsed, and this general was trapped in the teleportation array for countless years, unable to escape, and eventually perished.

Han Muye approached and reached out, grasping the sword hanging from the general’s waist.

A burst of light flashed, and the scene shifted.

“The three towns have changed sides and are holding down, presiding over the counterattack of the Divine Court. Generals, quickly return to the Divine Court—”

Shouts rang out as figures rushed into the sky.

Some went straight to the 36 layers of heaven and earth, while others walked away from the array formation.

Han Muye drew out a rusty long sword and lightly ran his fingers over it.

There was still a faint trace of spiritual light on the sword.

“Shen Zhenyue, a fourth-grade Tiger Might General guarding Yongjie Star, was trapped in the Myriad Worlds Array when he returned to the Divine Court and eventually perished.”

Sheathing the sword, Han Muye spoke softly.

“Yongjie Star? Shen Zhenyue?” Duan Chengzi nodded. “I have heard of his name. That star is extremely prosperous, and he is also a direct line of His Majesty, loyal and skilled in battle.”

Direct line.

If he weren’t a direct line, he wouldn’t have come to reinforce the Divine Court in such a critical moment.

Even Cao Yi chose to secure his military power when the Divine Court collapsed and turned a blind eye to the situation.

Duan Chengzi’s expression changed slightly as he pointed to the array in front of him. “Your Majesty, there may still be many powerful beings trapped in this array. We should be cautious.”

Shen Zhenyue had already died, but there might still be survivors within the light formation.

Who knew what those experts who had lived for countless years were thinking now that they had reappeared?

Human hearts were fickle.

Han Muye nodded.

Just now, he had unintentionally activated a trace of the power of the Myriad Worlds Array.

As long as he was careful and controlled the power of the Myriad Worlds Array, he could control this array.

The life and death of cultivators who landed in the array would also be controlled.

Back then, when Duan Chengzi controlled this hall, he also held the lives and deaths of countless cultivators in his hands.

“By layering the basic formations, ultimately forming the Myriad Worlds Array, there is nothing more I can teach Your Majesty.” Duan Chengzi spoke softly.

Great arrays are simply a combination of foundational formations. The array formations in the world were not rootless.

“By the way, I’m curious, Your Majesty, what kind of formations have you studied in depth and why do you possess such profound knowledge of array dao?”

Looking at Han Muye, Duan Chengzi’s face showed a curious expression.

Han Muye claimed to have only studied one formation, and Duan Chengzi believed him.

After watching Han Muye practice and reproduce the light formations, it was evident that he was not familiar with these formations but could deduce their intricacies and apply similar principles.

This made Duan Chengzi very curious about what kind of formation Han Muye had cultivated.

Han Muye smiled as the Nine Essences Sword Tower appeared in his hand.

To an array formation mighty figure like Duan Chengzi, what was more important to him than array formations?

“Buzz!”

Spiritual light flashed on the Nine Essence Sword Tower, and sword lights appeared.

“He really is a sword cultivator…” Duan Chengzi muttered to himself as his expression gradually changed.

In front of him, the sword lights intersected with each other in a three-star formation, transforming into countless stars.

The resplendent appearance of these stars was remarkably similar to the Myriad Worlds Array!

“Sword Formation, Myriad Worlds Formation…”

Duan Chengzi’s eyes gleamed as he looked at Han Muye. “Your Majesty, what kind of formation is this?”

The halo in his hands seemed to be constantly deducing.

“This formation is called the Heavenly Cycle Sword Formation.”

Han Muye’s sword radiance trembled in his hand, and all the starlight dissipated, transforming into black and white chess pieces.

The boundless void was filled with black and white.

“This is the Heavenly Cycle Array that complements the sword array.”

Looking at the Heavenly Cycle Array before him, Han Muye slowly turned his head and looked at the dazzling starlight suspended in the Myriad Worlds Hall.

The Heavenly Cycle Array, the Heavenly Cycle Sword Formation, and the Myriad Worlds Formation in front of them all had many similarities in the flow of the halo.

Or perhaps, these three formations originated from the same source!

Duan Chengzi’s gaze shifted between the two arrays, and after a long time, he shook his head lightly. “I understand…”
