Chapter 308: Millions of Methods Return to One

The attention of the Cultivators in Congyun Sea could not help but fall on these two individuals.

Seeing them both gravely injured, a hint of greed emerged in their hearts.

After all, what Cultivator could resist the temptation of Combined Dao?

Just as a bizarre atmosphere began to spread among the Cultivators, the two individuals, the focus of everyone's attention, began to fight without further ado.

Everyone discovered that without the Immortal Venerable Jin Ri and Immortal Lord Ziyun's world-isolating blockade, the crimson flames, which had originally been like a flickering candle in the wind, ready to extinguish at any moment, and extremely dim in color, were now visibly becoming deep and fiery again at a speed perceptible to the naked eye.

Zhang Zhiliang clearly noticed this at the first instant.

A deep, huge eye suddenly appeared above his head, its cold gaze fixed on the crimson flames.

The flickering of the flames around the crimson entity paused slightly, though it immediately returned to normal.

But everyone watching could see that its recovery speed was still affected.

Not one to sit idly by, the flames on the crimson entity suddenly contracted, instantly reverting to the form of a crimson light spot.

It transformed into a crimson line in the sky, instantly arriving before Zhang Zhiliang.

Just as it was about to pass through his body, tens of thousands of silver squares completed their Formation in the area ahead.

Specks of silver light flickered continuously.

The crimson line extended forward, attempting to slay Zhang Zhiliang.

But the short distance felt like a world away, unreachable.

It was precisely the Two-Phases Dust Formation previously used to trap the Immortal Lords.

Using the same trick again, it still proved remarkably effective.

A moment later, the crimson entity stopped its futile actions and reverted to human form.

As if roaring to the sky, in an instant, hundreds of crimson light rays shot out from its body.

They streaked towards different areas around it.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Over a hundred silver Array Crowns exploded in the flames.

But…

Replacement Array Crowns immediately emerged from the darkness, instantly filling in for the damaged ones.

The crimson entity continuously attacked, but the speed at which it damaged the Array Crowns was far from matching the speed at which Zhang Zhiliang replaced them.

And Zhang Zhiliang had no habit of only taking hits without retaliating.

While the crimson entity attempted to break out of the Formation, the reverse spirit-gathering Formation had also been activated again.

Within the sealed airspace, the Spiritual Qi concentration plummeted once more.

Immediately after, countless Array Crowns flickered in sequence, and one Formation after another was set up within the confined area.

Beams of destructive light shot out from the Array Crowns, continuously bombarding the crimson entity.

Even if ninety-nine out of a hundred beams were easily dodged by it, even if it was hit, it only sustained minor injuries.

But the number of Array Crowns was simply too many.

The destructive light was ceaseless, as if it cost nothing.

The injuries gradually accumulated, and the crimson entity, which had not recovered much to begin, became even weaker.

Poor crimson entity, despite its martial prowess, facing this seemingly endless attrition, it could only sigh in helplessness and await its demise.

Seeing the crimson entity's figure growing dimmer and dimmer, some Cultivators watching from Congyun Sea could no longer hold back.

"Fellow Daoists, the crimson entity is about to perish, and Zhang Zhiliang is also at the end of his rope; this is a Heaven-sent opportunity!"

"Indeed, even if he is a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator, after such a series of great battles, his strength must be greatly diminished. If we swarm him, there might be a chance of victory!"

"For the sake of Combined Dao, Zhang Zhiliang openly conspired against the Lord of Wanxian Island and challenged the dignity of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance; his crimes are unforgivable!"

"To arms, Fellow Daoists!"

…

Voices echoed from unknown sources, reverberating above Wanxian Island.

It seemed to make a lot of sense.

The Cultivators looked at each other, then all turned their gazes towards Zhang Zhiliang, whose clothes were tattered in the sky.

The silence lasted only for a moment.

Not long after, there were those who responded.

A dark iron claw soared from the island, reaching Zhang Zhiliang in an instant and striking fiercely.

As if a rallying call, this dark iron claw signaled the collective crusade against Zhang Zhiliang.

In an instant, thousands of rays of light emerged from below, all flying towards the sky.

Zhang Zhiliang's expression remained unchanged; his gaze coldly swept across them.

His figure vanished in an instant, and tens of thousands of Array Crowns also unleashed beams of light, intercepting the attacks.

"Fellow Daoists, let's attack the giant eye in the sky first!"

With a loud shout, countless more rays of light shot up into the sky, flying towards the giant eye.

The trapped crimson entity also seemed to see this rare opportunity and launched a counterattack.

Flames continuously erupted from its body, and one Array Crown after another exploded.

Facing the encirclement by the crimson entity and the other Cultivators, Zhang Zhiliang also gradually felt the strain, knowing he could no longer delay.

He suddenly appeared behind the crimson entity, and in front of him, a silver square also emerged.

Then came ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand…

But unlike before, the Array Crowns were not gathering together.

Instead, they began to undergo Fusion.

Countless silver squares became ethereal in an instant.

They began to superimpose at the location of the first Array Crown.

It seemed to take only a single moment to complete the Fusion.

The myriad Array Crowns, shining like stars, in a flash, only one remained.

"Infinite Law…" Li Fan's Clone looked at the dazzling Array Crown in the sky, subtly emitting golden light, and could not help but exclaim in admiration.

One Array Crown is formed by the superposition of hundreds of Formations.

Li Fan's current Formation Dao level could barely produce half an Array Crown.

Precisely because of this, he could better understand how terrifying it was for Zhang Zhiliang to so easily superimpose tens of thousands of Array Crowns, which had already superimposed hundreds of Formations, and then unify millions into one.

"Zhang Zhiliang's Formation Dao level in this life has probably reached Transcendent. It far surpasses his previous life."

Li Fan's admiration flashed through his mind.

In the sky, from the formed golden Array Crown, a earth-shattering white light shot out.

"Perish!"

With Zhang Zhiliang's furious roar, the white light engulfed everything in its path.

Even from a great distance, everyone could feel the terrifying destructive power within that beam of light, and they all involuntarily ceased their attacks.

"Expending all one million Formations to launch the final strike. It's an all-or-nothing gamble, but judging by the power of that white light, Zhang Zhiliang should have succeeded, right?"

Li Fan stared intently at the sky.

Countless Cultivators in Congyun Sea also held their breath.

The white light gradually dissipated.

The crimson entity was nowhere to be seen.

Only Zhang Zhiliang remained, hands clasped behind his back, standing proudly alone.

Continuously flickering crimson flames replaced his previously tattered clothes.

The pressure of a Combined Dao Immortal Venerable emanated from the sky, signifying that he, Zhang Zhiliang, had successfully achieved Combined Dao!

In Congyun Sea, there was a profound silence.

The gaze of all living beings was now focused on him.

Zhang Zhiliang smiled, his mouth slightly open, about to say something.

Just then…

His head exploded with a boom.

His headless body rotated slightly, as if still trying to see something.

But specks of black ink spread from his wound, devouring everything.
