His guess was correct.As early as when Xu Taiping decided to get on the cloud platform he had given all the body-protecting magic treasures on him and the other Azure Dragon Armors to Elder Zhang.
“Bang, bang, bang！”
At this time, several groups of black mist revealed the original forms of the demons and began to attack Elder Zhang who was setting crazily up the formation.
But there was nothing they could do. Elder Zhang had too many magic treasures. As soon as one was broken, another one would immediately replace it.
So even if these demons were extremely powerful, if they wanted to completely destroy all the magic treasures on Elder Zhang in one go, it would still take at least the time it takes to drink a cup of tea or burn an incense stick.
“Boom！ …”
And just when the offensive of the demons became more and more violent, Elder Zhang finally planted the last formation flag, causing this huge Startling God Formation to initially start rotating.
Next, Elder Zhang only needed to activate several array eyes of this great formation to make the Startling God Formation completely operate, thereby open the invisible Heavenly Gate above the eleventh floor of the Mysterious Wilderness Tower.
Greatly different from the Startling God Formation that Fairy Lingyue taught Xu Taiping to set up that day, the Startling God Formation set up by Elder Zhang at this moment was more complete. It was no longer only aimed at a certain cultivator, but at this entire world.
“Bang！”
Just as the three of Zhu Huai nervously watched Elder Zhang, seeing him activate the array eyes of the great formation step by step, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky above the gimbal.
Zhu Huai immediately adjusted the scene in the spirit mirror and looked towards the sky above the Ascension Platform.
I saw that above the Ascension Platform, the ancient devil Chi Yin could finally no longer withstand the offensive of Xu Taiping and the Saber Slave working together. The Saber Slave seized a flaw and finally chopped off one of his arms.
“The combination of two saber cultivators with such combat power is too terrifying.”
Seeing this scene, Zhu Huai couldn’t help but sigh.
Warriors are originally known for their powerful killing power, but after seeing the killing power displayed by Xu Taiping and the Saber Slave when facing Chi Yin, he suddenly felt that on a certain level, the killing power of saber cultivators might be far stronger than that of warriors.
“Shua！”
Just as he was speaking, in the spirit mirror, Xu Taiping slashed at the ancient devil Chi Yin again with a saber, leaving a wound on him that was deep enough to see the bone.
And it was from this saber strike that the saber momentum of Xu Taiping and the Saber Slave began to comprehensively suppress the fist momentum of the ancient devil Chi Yin.
The fluctuation of the aura on the ancient devil Chi Yin weakened at a visible speed.
“Peng！”
What made the people in front of the spirit mirror even more excited was that taking advantage of the gap when Xu Taiping severely injured the ancient devil Chi Yin with a saber, the Saber Slave broke the altar below with a saber, completely cutting off the path of the Nine Abyss Demonic Creatures to the Ascension Platform.
“Hong！”
At the same time, on the Cloud Ascension Platform below, Elder Zhang had also successively activated several array eyes of the Soul-Stirring Array, and a golden pillar of light rushed into the sky subsequently.
“Everything is ready. Next, as long as the Soul-Stirring Array is fully operational, the Heavenly Gate leading to the twelfth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower will be able to open！”
Zhu Huai clenched his fists and said excitedly.
Although the one who reached the top was not Chu Yinan, being able to see a human cultivator ascend to the twelfth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower again in his lifetime, how could he, as a human cultivator of the Upper Clear Realm, not be excited？
“The Mysterious Desolation Tower has been controlled by the Nine Abysses for tens of thousands of years. Today, we can finally let out this bad breath！”
Immortal Swordswoman Qionghua also had a look of excitement on her face at this time.
“Boom！——”
Just as the two were speaking, in the sky above the Cloud Ascension Platform, the thick clouds were completely dispersed by the pillar of light rising from within the Soul-Stirring Array, revealing two huge golden door leaves that were tightly closed.
“Open for me！”
At this time, on the Cloud Ascension Platform, Elder Zhang, with a haggard face, suddenly held a fairy sword inserted in the array eye of the Soul-Stirring Array with both hands and then roared with bulging veins on his cheeks.
“Rumble rumble rumble…”
Immediately, the Soul-Stirring Array slowly rotated, and the two closed door leaves above the sky also slowly opened with the rotation of the Soul-Stirring Array.
“It’s open, this Heavenly Gate is really about to open！”
Inside the imperial palace of Southern Chu, Zhu Huai and the others stood up excitedly in a somewhat undignified manner staring at the spiritual mirror in front of them with full anticipation.
“Want to open the Heavenly Gate？ With me, Chi Yin, here, don’t even think about it！”
Just as the two great doors above the sky that exuded the mighty power of the heavens were about to be completely opened, only the ancient devil Chi Yin, who was being suppressed by Xu Taiping and the saber slave’s saber momentum, suddenly had his eyes bulge and roared.
“Boom！”
Immediately, he disregarded the saber momentum of Xu Taiping and the saber slave and directly punched in the direction where Elder Zhang was.
“Bang！ …”
In just an instant, the body of the ancient devil Chi Yin was directly blown apart into a blood mist because he couldn’t resist the saber momentum of Xu Taiping and the saber slave, and even that strand of remnant soul was scattered.
But what the two of them didn’t expect was that the remaining power of the ancient devil Chi Yin’s punch actually passed through the saber momentum of the two of them, turning into a blood-colored fist shadow and smashing straight towards Elder Zhang below.
“Elder Zhang！”
“Bang!!!! …”
Just as Xu Taiping was about to remind, the fist shadow of Chi Yin had already shattered the last few protective magic treasures of Elder Zhang and heavily smashed into his body.
With just one punch, the left half of Elder Zhang’s body was completely smashed.
“Crack！”
More importantly, the immortal sword that was used to rotate the eye of the Soul-Stirring Array was also shattered by the desperate strike of the ancient devil Chi Yin.
“No… no… no！”
Old Zhang, with half of his body covered in blood and gore, after being dazed for a few breaths, forcefully shook his head and then collapsed to the ground with a look of despair on his face.
Without this immortal sword, even if the Soul-Stirring Array is still there, there is no way to open the Heavenly Gate.
“Rumble…”
Just as Old Zhang had expected, after the immortal sword broke, the two Heavenly Gates above their heads that had originally been almost opened closed again amidst a tremor of heaven and earth.
“Old Zhang！”
At this time, Xu Taiping flew down with a “boom” and landed beside Old Zhang.
“Young master… this old man is useless… clearly only one step away… only one step away… could have opened the Heavenly Gate and sent the young master to the twelfth floor.”
Old Zhang, with almost no blood on his face, looked at Xu Taiping with despair in his eyes, completely unaware of the pain of the torn half of his body.
The despair in Old Zhang’s eyes made Xu Taiping’s heart tremble for no reason.
While supporting Old Zhang and feeding him a pill, he transmitted a voice to the Saber Slave in his heart and asked：
“Senior Saber Slave, is there really no other way？”
Just as he was transmitting the voice, the Saber Slave had also landed lightly and arrived beside the two of them.
He took a look at the shattered immortal sword on the ground and then shook his head and said：
“Replacing the array eye again means redeploying the Soul-Stirring Array, and there is not enough time.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s heart suddenly turned cold.
The seriously injured Elder Zhang beside him lowered his head with a face full of self-blame, raised his hand and pounded his head vigorously and said：
“I’m incompetent, I’m incompetent. It was clearly just one step away, and the common people of Xuanghuang Tower could have been freed from the sea of suffering, it was clearly just one step away…
Elder Zhang, who had always had a firm heart, was as fragile as a child at this moment.
“Xu Taiping.”
And just at this time, the Sword Slave, who had been looking up at the sky, suddenly spoke again：
“Do you want to give it a try？”
“Try what？” Xu Taiping immediately asked.
The Sword Slave retracted his gaze from the Heavenly Gate and stared fixedly at Xu Taiping in front of him, saying word by word：
“Smash the Heavenly Gate.”
