Chapter 181 Tianke
The entire dream world began to shake violently. The sky was divided into two halves by night and day. Above the outline of the endless wasteland in the distance, the ground cracked, forming gullies and peaks.

Zhou Tieyi looked at Xue Ren, who was in high spirits in the distance. He was filled with pride and pointed his spear at his guards. He said, "This great general of the previous dynasty led a hundred cavalrymen to fight through five thousand pursuers and left his name in history. It's a pity that I can't learn from him in the same generation. Today, in this dream world, we can have a competition. Everyone, follow me and charge!"

Following Zhou Tieyi's order.

Fifty-five guards formed a battle formation of arrows, carrying the blazing light of the morning sun, shaking the entire dream world more and more violently.

The drastic changes in the dream world directly affect the mind of Qiao Yongen, who controls the world.

What's even more terrifying is that Qiao Yongen clearly felt a strange, indescribable force constantly piercing his spirit.

Although this force could not directly pierce his spirit now, Qiao Yongen had a hunch that if he could not defeat Zhou Tieyi today, even if he retreated now, it would leave a huge flaw in his mind.

Once this flaw is left, my path of cultivation will probably be completely cut off!
Thinking of this, Qiao Yongen became even more determined.

His mind fell directly and merged with Xue Ren in the dream.

In the dream, the "Oneness Method" that could only last for dozens of breaths in the outside world was extended due to the special time in the dream.

The starlight in the sky also fell like the rays of the sun, forming a cloak of night and stars.

In an instant, Xue Ren's momentum rose to a higher level again, and he rushed towards the guards led by Zhou Tieyi.

This time, [Thousand Stars Falling] has achieved a qualitative breakthrough.

In the real world, with Qiao Yongen's understanding of [Thousand Stars Falling], he can only simulate seven killing stars, which is far from being called a thousand stars, let alone falling stars.

But in the dream, thanks to countless people's imagination of Xue Ren in the story, the falsehood began to disturb the reality.

The hundred riders behind Xue Ren seemed to be the hundred warriors in history. Their spirit was passed down from generation to generation in books. Now, with the help of the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of all living beings, their power was real.

Qiao Yongen, who transformed into Xue Ren, had a more intuitive feeling.

That is, even though he had only a rough understanding of the art of military formation, he had never trained his own guards and military formation.

But at this moment, he seemed to be the real Xue Ren, leading hundreds of cavalry and blocking thousands of troops at night.

For a moment, even he could not distinguish the boundary between reality and illusion. The military formation evolved from Hundred Riders and [Thousand Stars Falling] became more and more real, and could exert a part of the power of a real military formation.

Behind Xue Ren, every rider was shining with starlight, which was a direct manifestation of the 'Seven Killing Stars'.

The method of military formation is progressive.

level one.

Let your own spirit and energy unite with those of your soldiers, and fully mobilize the blood and mental strength of the soldiers to strengthen or replenish yourself.

Second floor.

By coordinating his own path with that of his soldiers, the commander can not only mobilize the blood and spirit of the soldiers, but also mobilize the corresponding talents and even martial arts, making his own methods complex and varied.

Zhou Tieyi is at this level because he is able to borrow the spiritual talents of his personal guards.

the third floor.

He could use his own Taoism to support his soldiers, allowing them to transcend their own limits and unleash even greater strength. This was like lending a strand of his own internal energy to his soldiers, causing a qualitative change in the soldiers' blood and energy, temporarily transforming them into internal energy, allowing them to possess all the wonderful uses of internal energy.

Just this one transformation can increase the strength of the entire army by more than one level, and this has already reached the prototype of Taoism.

In the dream world, the "military formation" condensed by Qiao Yongen directly skipped the first and second levels and exerted part of the power of the third level.

The reason why he was able to do this, in addition to the fact that dreams can disrupt the rules of reality, is also because his "New Biography of Xue Ren" originally inherited the Taoist tradition and naturally possessed some of the Taoist characteristics.

The two military formations collided with each other without any fuss, a collision between silver-black and five colors.

The sharp 'Seven Killing Stars' penetrated everywhere, like silver needles, constantly stabbing at Zhou Tieyi's subordinates.

Fortunately, the five-element military formation trained by Zhou Tieyi was not bad either. The fifty-five personal guards all used the five-element dragon essence and blood to "seed their spirits". With the help of Zhou Tieyi's authority to [control the five qi], the entire military formation basically achieved a balance of the five elements and rotated as desired.

The five-colored ancestral qi was like water flowing in front of the eaves, forming a curtain of light that temporarily blocked the 'Seven Killing Stars'.

The royal guards fought with the Hundred Cavalrymen.

The flash of swords and the shadow of guns, the hidden murderous intent.

Although the battles in the dream world are not as bloody as those in the real world.

But it is even more dangerous.

Every injury here will be reflected in the mental will.

And treating injuries to the mental and physical body is a hundred times more difficult than treating injuries to the body.

Not to mention that if one dies in this dream world, the spirit will be completely annihilated. Even if the body in the real world is still alive, it will become a walking corpse.

As the leader of the royal guards, Ah Da has gained the enhanced talent of the [Blood God Son] and the careful teaching of Zhou Tieyi. His current strength can no longer be regarded as that of an ordinary seventh-grade warrior.

The sword in his hand was like a gust of wind, without any sound, and it was agile and flexible, turning the visible into the invisible, and killed two hundred riders in succession.

During this process, he also discovered the weaknesses of the opposing soldiers.

The opponent's strength is about the same as ours, which means that their numbers are twice as many, which is why they are able to remain undefeated.

The guards under Zhou Tieyi's command were originally geniuses picked from hundreds of miles away in General Huwei's mansion. Zhou Tieyi also spent a huge price to use precious dragon essence and blood to "seed spirits". In addition, with the blessing of [Controlling the Five Qi] and [Martial Arts], their strength in the Five Elements Army Formation is not much weaker than that of an ordinary sixth-grade Ning Gang warrior.

However, the hundred riders, who were condensed from the emotions of all living beings, seemed extremely rigid even with the help of the great spirit, as if they were fixed puppets. Even if they were fearless of death, as long as they did not fight head-on with the opponent, tried a few more moves, and found the rigidity of the opponent's moves, they could be easily defeated.

After Ada discovered the opponent's weakness, the rest of the guards also discovered it one after another. They even started to cooperate with each other. Those who were not strong enough focused on harassing and harassing, waiting for Ada, the five strongest men, to be free and kill the opponent.

Qiao Yongen naturally knew the weaknesses of his own army formation, but even if he knew, he had no way to change it. He was not Zhou Tieyi, who had the authority of [Martial Arts] and could train real guards and conduct drills when he reached the eighth rank.

This is the most core skill of the military strategist. If other schools can do this perfectly, then the military strategist will not be able to occupy the position of the top nine.

Qiao Yongen transformed into Xue Ren and swung his spear, fighting with Zhou Tieyi again.

The only solution now is to defeat Zhou Tieyi.

As long as the commander-in-chief is defeated, the military formation will collapse on its own. This is common sense in this world.

Coincidentally, Zhou Tieyi thought so too.

The martial arts true body behind him actively swung out a giant palm, and the [Qiankun Seal] combined with the giant palm to refine the power of the earth veins, which is one of the foundations of the entire dream world.

In the outside world, Zhou Tieyi would certainly not be stupid enough to refine the power of the earth veins in Yujing Mountain.

However, in this dream world, the power of the earth veins that supports this place was originally refined by the novelist with the help of the formation in Tai'an Garden.

And in this dream, the only one who could perceive it was Qiao Yongen.

Once he dies, no one will know.

In an instant, the wind swelled up, and the space in the palm of his hand compressed, as if there was a real mountain range, divided into five foothills, showing five colors. The size of the person covered by the Five Finger Mountain gradually shrank as it was covered by the Five Finger Mountain, until he was finally completely suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain.

Zhou Tieyi naturally could not have the ability to truly influence space in the outside world.

The greatest effect of his Five Finger Mountain in the outside world is to influence the enemy's mind and at the same time isolate the enemy from the outside world.

And in this dream, you can influence the enemy's mind, and corresponding changes will naturally arise.

Qiao Yongen noticed something unusual the moment Zhou Tieyi refined the power of the earth veins.

However, there are too many ways to refine the power of the earth veins, and there are too many secrets on Zhou Tieyi. For a few breaths, Qiao Yongen didn't even think about whether Zhou Tieyi was a god.

On the contrary, what he needs to think about most now is how to break through the limitations of the earth vein power and not be suppressed by this palm that can compress space!
Qiao Yongen's spirit was in harmony with Xue Ren's at this moment, and even his own habits had changed. He was like a real general in the book, and shouted, "Well done!" He thrust out his spear, and the tip of the spear turned into a cold star-like light.

The stars and mountains collided, just like the contest between heaven and earth in this dream world.
However, compared with the outside world, this time's [Thousand Stars Falling] has one more essential change.

The condensed power of the seven cold stars dimmed in mid-air, gathering the surrounding light, and then suddenly exploded the next moment, transforming into dazzling starlight.

This sudden contraction and explosion of power can even exert more than twice the strength of one's own power in an instant.

The sudden burst of starlight was like a series of sharp aurora blades, dividing the Five Finger Mountain in two directions.

Bright cracks also appeared in the compressed space in the palm of Wuzhi Mountain, making it difficult to contain everything.

It was just when he was suppressing Qiao Yongen with the Five Finger Mountain.

Zhou Tieyi had already made the second-hand preparation.

His martial arts true body is a weakened version of the Dharma image, which is equivalent to giving Zhou Tieyi an extra pair of arms and a head.

The original body and the Dharma image each perform their own methods without interfering with each other. This is an ability that most practitioners will find difficult to possess in their lifetime, and it is itself equivalent to a top-level innate magical power.

There were similar descriptions in novels of my previous life, with three heads and six arms.

He let his martial arts true body cast the [Five Finger Mountain] to cover Qiao Yongen. In addition to suppressing him, the most important function was that the [Five Finger Mountain] had a certain ability to isolate the inside and the outside.

This caused Qiao Yongen's mind to be temporarily distracted, making it difficult for him to discover his true killer move and respond accordingly.

Zhou Tieyi’s real body stretched out his palm, but this time he did not condense a spear.

The [Sky Blue Spear] that he knew could not play a decisive role at this moment, but another imperfect combat skill could produce miraculous effects at this moment.

The true meaning of the Five Emperors condensed and transformed into five colors: blue, red, yellow, black and white. The five colors that originally had no form flowed in the palm of his hand, and then condensed into a tangible longbow.

In the real world, Zhou Tieyi was still some distance away from completely condensing the [Five Emperors Bow], but in the dream, when he first pulled the [Five Emperors Bow], Zhou Tiege felt like a thorn in his back.

There was no physical restraint in the dream. Zhou Tieyi's mind moved, and Ah Er in the Five Elements Formation directly transformed into a green dragon shadow, wrapping around the entire bow handle.

With the blessing of the talent [Bo Wen], combined with the analysis of this dream by [True Vision] and the flaws left in this dream by [Martial Arts].

Points of light appeared one by one.

That is the basis of Qiao Yongen's control over the entire dream world, and it is also the weakness of this dream world!

The original dream world had perfect rules, so naturally there wouldn't be so many weaknesses.

But it's different now. Zhou Tieyi first used the power of [Martial Arts] to leave a flaw in Qiao Yongen's heart, and then let the spirits of his personal guards descend to aggravate the flaws in the entire dream world.

Finally, he used the [Qiankun Seal] to snatch the power of the earth veins of the entire dream world. When Qiao Yongen used the Falling Star Method to fight against the power of the earth veins in the dream world, the entire dream world was naturally full of weaknesses in Zhou Tieyi's eyes.

A beam of true lightning gathered and condensed into a dazzling lightning bolt.

At the moment before Qiao Yongen was about to break through the blockade of the [Five Finger Mountain], the lightning arrow was shot out with the blessing of the [Five Emperors Bow], aiming at the biggest weakness in this dream world, Qiao Yongen who had merged with Xue Ren.

The blazing white light expanded from one point and enveloped the entire dream world.

Even this dream world affects reality.

"boom!"

An explosion like thunder sounded in everyone's heart.

Chu Huanhuan, anxiously waiting for the result, looked at his grandfather, wanting to know what had happened.

Chu Wensheng looked solemn, then smiled and said, "Good news."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground of the entire Tai'an Garden began to surge, as if the underground dragons were disturbed.

This is a formation set up by Tai'an Garden to absorb the power of the earth veins. The power of the earth veins absorbed by this formation is generally transmitted to the controller of Tai'an Garden, helping the controller to create a dream world and fight against powerful enemies.

At this moment, the power of the entire earth veins was surging, indicating that the dream world that trapped Zhou Tieyi was in great crisis, or even collapsed.

The roar that just erupted in everyone’s mind was a sign that the dream world was about to be destroyed.

Chu Wensheng showed a curious look. He originally expected that Zhou Tieyi would use secret techniques to escape from the constraints of the dream world first, and then fight Qiao Yongen in the real world. However, he never expected that Zhou Tieyi would directly destroy the entire dream world.

How did he do that?
The dream world is about to be destroyed, and the person who will be most affected is naturally Qiao Yongen, who weaved the dream world.

Qiao Yongen, who was spiritually united with Xue Ren, was pierced through the chest by a blazing white lightning arrow. The terrifying true meaning of thunder and the true meaning of the Red Emperor rushed around, as if to burn his mind.

leave here!

Driven by the desire to survive, Qiao Yongen's spirit returned to him and he wanted to separate from Xue Ren. However, just as his spirit separated a little, he heard a cold voice with a smile, "Now you know why I entered the dream world with joy in the beginning, right?"

Qiao Yongen had a doubt from the beginning. Since Zhou Tieyi could sense the changes between dreams and reality, why was he so easily pulled into the dream world at the beginning? His joy could not be fake...

But now he knew that in the dream world, Zhou Tieyi's strength was far beyond that of the outside world, and he was just tying himself up in knots!
"I am your nemesis!"

Zhou Tieyi's cold, smiling words were like a sharp blade, continuing to cut at Qiao Yongen, draining away the last bit of his spirit.

[Mirage] silently invaded the mind of Qiao Yongen, who was now completely defenseless.

The smile on Zhou Tieyi's face widened. The reason why he talked so much nonsense was that he wanted to take advantage of this last chance to break down the barriers in Qiao Yongen's heart and squeeze out the last bit of his usefulness.

Without completely breaking Qiao Yongen's mind, the little power of [Mirage] that he possessed now would not be enough to invade the mind of a fifth-grade cultivator.

However, the rewards after success made Zhou Tieyi unable to stop smiling.

In the real world, in the pavilion on the second floor of Tai'an Garden, Qiao Yongen, whose spirit was completely crushed and not even a trace of afterglow escaped, fell straight down one after another. The light in his eyes completely disappeared, and they were empty.

His spirit was shattered by Zhou Tieyi in the dream world, and now all that was left here was an empty shell, completely worthless.

Zhou Tieyi led the spirits of his personal guards back to his own body, and the [Heart Fire] that surrounded and protected his body also dissipated. Everything returned to normal, without affecting the ordinary people around him at all.

Zhou Tieyi looked at the place where Qiao Yongen's shadow puppet body was originally. In addition to a few torn shadow puppets, an inkstone that was between reality and illusion appeared out of thin air.

The inkstone is black in color overall, but it gives people a sense of flowing brilliance.

Colorful black.

Zhou Tieyi thought of an accurate adjective.

This Fang Hu inkstone is also a precious secret treasure, and Zhou Tieyi certainly will not leave it to others.

The things in this world that can be called secret treasures are extremely rare.

Because the materials for forging secret treasures are all collected from things of the same level or even higher level.

Moreover, the secret treasure can be passed down for several generations, which is much longer than the lifespan of the practitioners and is more precious.

Moreover, because the paths of cultivation are different, it is even more difficult to find a secret treasure that is the same as your own path of cultivation.

For example, with Che Wenyuan's chessboard, Zhou Tieyi had the help of many masters and added a lot of materials, but he still hasn't fully mastered it. This is enough to show how precious a secret treasure that is perfectly suitable for oneself is.

For most mid-level practitioners, it is already a rare opportunity to have one or two secret treasures that can increase their strength, and it may even require spending half a lifetime savings to obtain them.

He stretched out his hand to grab the Hu inkstone. The next moment, the Hu inkstone disappeared like the illusory surface of Taixu and merged into his dream. He could take it out again with just a thought.

It seems that the reason why the novelist wants to hunt down the people in the Taixu Illusion Realm is probably not as simple as exterminating the evil gods and serving the public.
