Chapter 2257: You Are Wrong!

"What's going on? That kid was clearly done for just now, how did he suddenly burst out?"

"So, this kid has been hiding his strength all along!"

"My god, has his formation dao strength already reached the Heavenly Human realm? This kid is a freak!"

…

One move, and the entire mountain was shocked!

The divine essence Ye Yuan unleashed in an instant was overwhelming!

Shui Yuan and Gu Hun, seeing this terrifying sight, were instantly frightened out of their wits, their faces turning ashen.

The prohibition above two thousand li was enough to kill them!

Ye Yuan's strike at this moment was clearly aimed at taking their lives.

"Fellow Daoist Tianyan, save us!" Shui Yuan cried out.

The漫天光芒 caught Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor off guard, causing his expression to change drastically.

Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor's heart shook violently. He had some understanding of Ye Yuan's formation dao strength and knew it could never reach such a level!

Unless… Ye Yuan had gained enlightenment on Eight Voids Mountain!

This shock was no small matter!

How could a person be so monstrous?

Under his frenzied bombardment, he still had the spare energy to comprehend the dao?

Moreover, what Ye Yuan had comprehended was not just a little, but a leap!

A qualitative leap!

If before, Ye Yuan had one foot through the door of the 'dao,'

then now, he had truly entered the realm of the dao!

However, Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor was, after all, a great power of the Heavenly Human realm; though startled, he was not flustered!

Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor flicked his fingers repeatedly, instantly unleashing countless streams of divine essence to counteract the prohibition Ye Yuan had set off.

"Good kid, truly cunning to the extreme, even I almost fell for it! But… do you think this is enough to turn the tables? Dream on!" Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor sneered disdainfully.

He was thoroughly familiar with the prohibitions above two thousand li; how could he be defeated by a junior?

The killing mechanisms above two thousand li were like child's play to him.

Crack!

Just then, a thunderbolt suddenly struck.

A milky-white lightning bolt split the sky, as if tearing the heavens in two.

The terrifying power and the explosive thunder startled everyone, making them jump.

A few Eight-Star Array Gods almost missed their steps, nearly triggering the prohibitions.

This scene came too suddenly, so sudden that no one had time to react.

Boom!

This thunderbolt, at an unimaginable speed, landed on the three of them—Heavenly Eye, Shui Yuan, and Gu Hun.

"Hmph!"

The three grunted, as if struck by lightning, instantly dazed.

After such a violent blow, the auras of the three Heavenly Human realm experts immediately weakened considerably.

Especially Gu Hun Heavenly Emperor; under this strike, his body nearly dissipated.

Although he ultimately stabilized his form with his powerful strength, his body became extremely ethereal.

Gu Hun Heavenly Emperor was a soul body, most afraid of thunder.

Ordinary lightning was nothing, but the power of a Heavenly Human realm formation was hardly ordinary!

As for the other two, they were slightly better off than him, but still severely injured.

Yet this scene, in everyone's eyes, was even more shocking than the thunderbolt itself.

The prohibition had been triggered!

Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor, this grandmaster of formation dao, had actually lost in a contest of skill to a junior of the Heavenly Sovereign realm!

This reversal was so astonishing that for a moment, everyone forgot to think.

A second ago, Ye Yuan was struggling on the brink of death.

The next second, he had made a stunning comeback, triggering a Heavenly Human realm prohibition!

The entire Eight Voids Mountain fell into a deathly silence.

Jiang Ci watched dumbfounded, his mouth agape as he stared at Ye Yuan, looking as if he had seen a ghost, as if meeting him for the first time.

"Tian… Tianyan lost?" He still couldn't believe it.

"Am I seeing things? Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor is a legend of Eight Voids Mountain; he… he actually lost?"

"Just who is this kid? His formation dao attainments are too terrifying, aren't they?"

"A mere Heavenly Sovereign actually severely wounded a Heavenly Human realm expert… This incident will probably become a new legend of Eight Voids Mountain!"

…

The surrounding Eight-Star Array Gods looked at Ye Yuan with horrified expressions, gasping in shock.

Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Eye and sneered, "Walking on flat ground within three thousand li? Huh, I think not?"

Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor had comprehended the dao for three thousand li and was thoroughly familiar with the prohibitions within that range.

Just moments ago, he had claimed that within three thousand li, it was like walking on flat ground.

But in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face by this thunderbolt.

After taking this hit, Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor's power was mostly drained.

Yet, the strength of a Heavenly Human realm expert was indeed formidable; despite Ye Yuan's painstaking efforts to trigger the prohibition, it failed to kill them.

Heavenly Eye was very weak, but his face was full of confusion: "How… how is this possible? I clearly neutralized everything!"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "You thought you understood the formations here, but… you don't understand at all! The prohibitions of Eight Voids Mountain are far more formidable than you imagine!"

Heavenly Eye's pupils contracted, even more bewildered.

"You all must think that the prohibitions of Eight Voids Mountain are connected one after another, and by comprehending all these prohibitions, you can break them and keep climbing Eight Voids Mountain," Ye Yuan declared loudly.

Many Eight-Star Array Gods nodded to themselves, yet looked curious—wasn't that the case?

"You are wrong! The great formation of Eight Voids Mountain is a living formation! On the same plane, there are countless types of prohibitions, not fixed and unchanging! When you break one prohibition, you are actually still within another prohibition! Different combinations produce prohibitions of varying power! So, the point you stand on may be the intersection of several prohibitions! These intersections are merely the array eyes of several formations, allowing you to pass safely! But by comprehending formations this way, you will never reach the summit!"

Ye Yuan's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.

Those who could reach two thousand seven or eight hundred li were all outstanding figures in formation dao!

Whether Ye Yuan's words made sense, they understood at once!

If the formations of Eight Voids Mountain were composed of countless points, connecting a few points formed a prohibition.

What they had comprehended was the prohibition formed by connecting these few points.

But in fact, this point was merely a shared vertex of several prohibitions!

What they had comprehended was too superficial!

"Wrong! We were all wrong!"

"Ah! So that's it! So that's it! All these years I've been comprehending formation dao, I've been wasting my time!"

"I understand! I thought my formation dao was nearly at the level of the dao, but now I realize I know nothing! I'm going down the mountain to start comprehending from scratch!"

…

Many Eight-Star Array Gods actually went straight down the mountain.

Ye Yuan's words were like a sudden enlightenment, making them instantly grasp the key point.

They finally understood that what they had been comprehending all along was worthless!

Some, however, looked utterly bewildered.

Having what they had adhered to for so many years negated—the blow was imaginable.

As for Heavenly Eye Heavenly Emperor, he was completely stunned.

His pride of countless years was shattered in that moment!
