Chapter 0702: Encountering the Hongmeng Innate Great Array

Huang Long utilized the power of the immortal spirit within him to envelop Livia and Huoyang. In this way, the three became one, ensuring that Livia and Huoyang would not get separated and avoiding the risk of each falling into a different array.
Livia and Huoyang understood Huang Long’s intention, so they allowed him to act as he saw fit.
Huang Long would decipher all the arrays in this Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays.
After enveloping the two with the power of the immortal spirit, Huang Long dashed forward in a flash, and the three disappeared from their original location, appearing above a sand dune.
This sand dune was neither too large nor too small, about ten meters high, surrounded by smaller hills of varying heights. On the surface, it seemed unremarkable. Now trapped in this desert array, with sand dunes everywhere, Livia and Huoyang could see nothing special about it.
“Huang Long, is this sand dune the core of the desert array?” Livia asked doubtfully.
Huoyang also looked at Huang Long with confusion.
Huang Long smiled and said to them, “You’ll know soon!”
Although this array appeared powerful, in Huang Long’s eyes, its construction was somewhat crude. With his expertise in arrays, he quickly identified its core.
This sand dune seemed ordinary, but to Huang Long, it formed an intricate pattern alongside the surrounding dunes. The center of this pattern was the dune beneath their feet.
Under the puzzled gazes of Livia and Huoyang, Huang Long formed a magic seal with his hands. Suddenly, the space once filled with hot air currents and sandstorms was illuminated by lightning, as thunder dragons appeared in the sky.
An area of millions of miles around them instantly became dark. Thunderclouds covered the sky.
Livia and Huoyang watched Huang Long’s actions. As the thunderclouds thickened, thunder sounds grew louder, shaking the sky. Suddenly, Huang Long pulled his hands together, and the restless thunder dragons above seemed to find an outlet, crashing downward violently.
Five colors of divine lightning descended—dark blue, fiery red, deep green, earthy yellow, and dark gold!
These were the divine lightning of the five elements: the water lightning of Gui, the fire lightning of Bing, the wood lightning of Yi, the earth lightning of Wu, and the metal lightning of Geng!
As the divine lightning struck, the seemingly ordinary dune suddenly unleashed terrifying power, shooting upward. The surrounding dunes were lifted into the air, forming a mountain entirely made of sand. In an instant, sand from millions of miles around rushed toward this spot.

Before long, the mountain, which was originally only a few hundred meters high, instantly turned into a towering peak tens of thousands of feet high. Purple-red flames erupted from its surface, and the surrounding space turned into nothingness, demonstrating the intense heat of those flames. In the distance, Huang Long and his two companions could feel a wave of heat rushing toward them. After the formation of this giant peak, it collided with the Great Five Elements Divine Thunder descending from the sky. As the divine thunder struck the peak, continuous hissing explosions were heard, accompanied by flashes of multicolored light. Yet no matter how fiercely the divine thunder struck, the peak remained unshaken. With each impact, sand fell off the peak, but it was quickly replenished, causing the peak to grow even larger until it became a towering structure that blocked out the sky. Seeing this, Huang Long summoned his Thunder Gathering Vessel with a thought. Once activated, it stood atop the peak and instantly expanded, unleashing divine thunder like a river of water. “Attack!” Huang Long ordered firmly, punching toward the peak. His powerful punch shattered the hurricanes in the air and struck the peak head-on. At the same time, Livia and Huoyang also took action. Livia waved her delicate hands, sending streams of silver light like meteors toward the peak, while Huoyang’s fiery energy also surged forth. Wherever Huoyang’s energy passed, the scorching air currents in the desert retreated. With a loud roar, the world trembled. Under the combined attacks, the sand-based peak could no longer hold together and exploded completely. Countless grains of sand rained down from the sky, covering millions of miles of land. From afar, it resembled countless sparks falling from the sky, lighting up the barren ground. A hissing sound arose from the surface. After the peak disappeared, the desert vanished, along with the scorching hurricanes, and the space returned to its void state. Huang Long used his Heavenly Eye to scan the surroundings before continuing forward with Livia and Huoyang. After flying for a while, the landscape changed once again. This time, it was not a desolate, scorching desert but an endless forest filled with lush greenery and vibrant life, forming a stark contrast to the desert formation earlier. Above this vast forest, there were numerous white light particles, each about the size of a thumb, scattered like sand grains. From afar, they glowed brightly against the green backdrop, creating a beautiful and dreamlike scene. Huang Long and his companions stopped in the sky.

“Is this the Yanmu Formation?!” Huoyang exclaimed as he looked at the forest below, his expression changing slightly and becoming solemn.
Livia’s expression was the same.
The Yanmu Formation was a renowned formation in the Hongmeng World, one of the innate formations of Hongmeng. Even a divine king would find it extremely difficult to break free from this formation.
Who would have thought that they would encounter this very Yanmu Formation now?
The Void of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Formations was filled with such formations. Depending on the direction through which one passed, different formations would appear—some might be innate Hongmeng formations, while others could be ordinary ones.
“Yanmu Formation?” Huang Long murmured to himself.
The Yanmu Formation was an innate Hongmeng formation, and its strength lay in the fact that its formation core could change at any time.
Huang Long’s eyes sparkled.
Although breaking through the Yanmu Formation was difficult due to its ever-changing core, it wasn’t beyond Huang Long’s capabilities. He expanded his divine sense, and moments later, he appeared above a forest along with Livia and Huoyang, before descending.
As soon as the three of them landed, countless ancient trees below suddenly began to spin.
It might not be a big deal if a few trees spun, but imagine what it would be like if trillions upon trillions of trees did the same?! The world seemed to spin, with ancient trees floating everywhere, their shadows overlapping. Then, those trees began attacking Huang Long and his companions as they spun.
Huang Long raised his head, summoning the Five Directions Spiritual Flags to protect the surrounding space.
The ancient trees struck against the energy barriers generated by the flags, producing loud cracking sounds as the barriers trembled.
Although a single tree couldn’t break through the barriers, the combined force of hundreds of millions of trees created immense pressure.
Seeing this, Livia and Huoyang also activated their divine powers to set up defenses around them.
“Huang Long, what should we do now?!” Livia asked anxiously.
With the formation active and hundreds of millions of trees attacking simultaneously, if they couldn’t break through these trees, they might be trapped here forever. All around them were spinning trees—up, down, left, and right. Livia had tried to attack earlier and destroyed countless trees, but they were endless, as if she had only created a small gap in an endless ocean.
After a while, the space cleared by her attacks was filled again by more trees.
Huang Long said, “Don’t worry. We just need to find the formation core!” Once found, no matter how the trees changed or attacked, it wouldn’t matter.

“But the core of this formation is right among these countless ancient trees, and it keeps changing constantly. It’s difficult to find!” Huoyang also frowned.

Huang Long didn’t speak. A golden glow flashed in his forehead as his divine vision pierced through the layers of ancient trees, focusing on one of them—precisely the core of this Yanmu Formation.

Yet just as Huang Long was about to lock onto it, the ancient tree suddenly emitted a flash of light, changed its position, and vanished elsewhere, disappearing from Huang Long’s divine vision.

Huang Long wasn’t surprised. He had anticipated this situation.

“A change?” Huang Long sneered inwardly. “If it changes, then I’ll prevent it from changing!”

He quickly located the ancient tree again and planted a spiritual imprint on its trunk in an instant. With this imprint, no matter how the tree changed, it could no longer escape Huang Long’s detection.

After locking onto the tree, Huang Long summoned the Binding Rope of Immortals. The rope transformed into a dragon that tore through numerous ancient trees before coiling around the target tree. The dragon enclosed the surrounding space, preventing the tree from breaking free from the rope’s restraint no matter how hard it tried.

Then, with a gesture of his hands, lightning flashed as a thunderous sword appeared.

“The Purple Thunder Sky Sword!”

With a single slash, waves of energy blasted out, sending countless ancient trees flying and piercing through the tree trapped by the Binding Rope.

With a thought, Huang Long retracted the Binding Rope into his body. Under the astonished gazes of Livia and Huoyang, the countless ancient trees suddenly stopped moving and retreated like a tide, one by one, from all directions.

In the end, only the ancient tree at the core remained standing, alone.

With a loud explosion, the tree shattered and vanished from existence. Just as the previous desert formation had been broken, the surroundings returned to their original state of emptiness after the Yanmu Formation was destroyed.

“Is that how the Yanmu Formation was broken?” Livia and Huoyang looked around in disbelief before turning to Huang Long.

After all, it seemed far too easy for Huang Long to break this formation.

In their eyes, he had merely used some kind of divine artifact like a binding rope, then made a single slash to destroy the core, thereby dismantling the entire formation.

In truth, although it appeared easy for Huang Long to break the formation, it would have been extremely difficult without his divine vision, the spiritual imprint, and the Binding Rope of Immortals to lock onto the core.

Now that the Yanmu Formation was broken, what would be the next formation? Huang Long gazed into the void ahead.

Just now, as he sensed Keller, Leo and the others also entered this Abyss of Ten Thousand Arrays, approaching Huang Long and the other two continuously.
