Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1281: Earth-Elemental Dao Pattern

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang Yi was not crazy!

Of course, the pressure from the outside was making him more rash. Eight months had already passed, and yet he was making no progress at all with realizing a supreme dao pattern. Ten years sounded like a long time, but it was—in fact—incredibly short.

What’s more, who knew what would happen once he made it to the Higher Domain? What if he could not find the Mystic Thearch or Yi Piaopiao in ten years? What if he could find them, but they had no solution to offer him? The billions of civilians in the Stellarsky Domain had their lives in his hand. Hi wives, his friends, his brothers, and his clansmen’s lives were like a blade hanging from his forehead. He almost always found it difficult to breathe.

In these eight months, he did not have a single night of good rest. Each time he closed his eyes, he would see countless Netherworld Generals breaking the Big Heaven Wheel Formation, rushing into the Stellarsky Domain, and killing everybody in front of them. He saw these generals tear Yi Chan, Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, Mo Yao’er, Qian Wanguan, Zhan Wushuang, Jiang Yunhai, and others into little pieces.

Jiang Yi was not courting death by jumping into the Void Ancient Path’s Meteorite Killing Formation. Instead, at that moment, he realized something: the Meteorite Killing Formation was a path of death. If he did not have the Mystic Divine Palace, he would not have been able to make it out alive. Ordinary people who did not have the Mystic Thearch’s skills would not have been able to survive as well.

The Mystic Thearch could not have created such an extreme path of death!

Thus, he was sure that there existed a chance of life in this killing formation. This chance could be found in the formidable dao pattern hidden in this Meteorite Killing Formation. As long as he could realize this dao pattern, he would be able to break out of the Meteorite Killing Formation easily.

He had to push himself to the brink of death in order to find life!

Jing Yi realized one problem with himself. The more danger he was in, the easier it was for him to unleash his true potential, and the higher his chances of realizing a dao pattern. Asking him to sit quietly and stare at Heaven Paintings would instead make it harder for him to realize a dao pattern. He had to walk along the line between life and death in order to feel the excitement that he so loved. This was why he jumped off the cliff without hesitation.

He would win or die trying.

He decided not to think too much about everything else. Once again, he gambled with his own life.

Buzz!

A white light flashed, and everything in front of him turned into a blur. Once again, he found himself in the pitch-black Void Ancient Path. His body was falling at top speed. There was no light at all around him. It was so dark that his heart was racing as he heard the wind brush past his ear. Entering this path calmed Jiang Yi down considerably. He had no other way out. He could either die or realize the formidable dao pattern inside the Meteorite Killing Formation.

“Union of Heaven and Man!”

He did not release his divine shield; neither did he summon the Thousand Thearch Shield. Instead, he closed his eyes and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man so that he could get a greater sense of the environment around him. He wanted to feel the energy flow around him and feel the dao pattern presence within.

Swish, swish!

He soon heard something breaking through the air on his left. A few small stones were flying quickly toward him. They moved even faster than Jiang Xiaonu. In a blink of an eye, they were beside Jiang Yi. He did not cause his fists to dance around to hit the stones; neither did he activate the Thousand Thearch Shield. Instead, he allowed the stones to hit his Mystic Divine Armor. He did not dare to make a single move, for fear of getting distracted. He had to focus all his energy on realizing the dao pattern presence inside these meteors. He wanted to find the mystical chance of life inside this killing formation.

This stone is much harder. There is nothing special about it, but its fast speed is the reason why the impact is so huge! Among all the martial arts under the sky, the fastest ones were the hardest to break through. Could the hidden dao pattern here be the strongest wind-elemental dao pattern? Yet, wasn’t the strongest wind-elemental dao pattern the six-star Judgment Wind Blade? That was not a supreme dao pattern!

Many questions surfaced in Jiang Yi’s mind. The best of the elemental dao patterns were six-star at most. The heaven and earth dao patterns could reach up to nine-star. Only supreme dao patterns could make use of the power of heaven and earth. If the Meteorite Killing Formation only carried within it a six-star dao pattern, then there was no point in him entering the path at all.

“This isn’t right!”

Jiang Yi quickly shook his head. A wind-elemental dao pattern cannot possibly have such great killing power. He must have been looking in the wrong direction. The cogs in his brain turned quickly as he analyzed the situation around him. A few more stones rushed toward him and landed harshly on his Mystic Divine Armor. As they hit him, they broke into dust; and his own body swayed out of line. However, the first few waves of meteorites were not that strong. Jiang Yi would not get injured by them so easily.

Eh? The stones are gone. It looked like they became dust, but they’ve disappeared...

Jiang Yi discovered yet another problem. After hitting his body, the stones would disappear. If he had not been in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, he would not have realized it because he was falling so quickly.

Could it be an earth-elemental dao pattern? These stones were formed from the earth element in heaven and earth? However, weren’t the best earth-elemental dao patterns only six-star? It was probably the Shield of the Earth, a defensive dao pattern...

Jiang Yi could not figure it out. Earth-elemental dao patterns were almost all defensive in nature because heaven and earth represented heaviness and toughness. There was no end to heaven and earth. In the same way, the power of the earth was unending. Earth-elemental dao patterns, thus, made the strongest type of defensive dao patterns.

This is not an earth-elemental dao pattern!

Jiang Yi quickly shook his head. The highest grade earth-elemental dao patterns were all defensive. They would not be able to have such great attacking power. Jiang Yi’s body kept falling, and the meteorites kept shooting toward him. As his body was pushed around, Jiang Yi still did not take out the Thousand Thearch Shield. He focused while in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. He wanted to realize the mystery of this killing formation. He kept coming up with hypotheses, analyzing them, trying to prove them, and then rejecting them.

Could this be a spatial dao pattern? Could this killing formation be making use of the power of space and high-speed to generate such strong attacking power?

That can’t be right. There is no spatial power moving around here...

Could this be a time dao pattern? Was time speeding up by ten or a hundred times as the meteorites fell toward me? Was that how these meteorites were gaining so much speed?

Or could it be... a spatial, wind-elemental, and earth-elemental dao pattern—all mixed into one?

He had already been hit by ten waves of meteorites. The meteorites were getting bigger and faster, and they were increasing in numbers as well. Jiang Yi used the Mystic Divine Armor alone to defend his body, but it was getting increasingly difficult to withstand the pain. He was hurting everywhere, but he tried not to pay attention to it. Instead, the cogs in his mind kept turning, and he kept making deductions.

Swish! Swish!

Another wave of meteorites fell toward him. This time, Jiang Yi was being thrown around from the impact. His chest could no longer take the pressure, and so he coughed up blood. Jiang Yi regained consciousness from the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and turned to look at the fast-disappearing meteorites. Suddenly, he realized something.

There is no spatial power or wind power, and time is not speeding up. Only the power of the earth is surging. This can only be an earth-elemental dao pattern!

At that moment, Jiang Yi was absolutely sure that this was an earth-elemental dao pattern. Any dao pattern would carry its nature’s power. Spatial dao patterns could not make use of fire power or water power. That would not make sense. Thus, the dao pattern hidden in this Meteorite Killing Formation had to be earth-elemental.

The problem was here!

The best of the elemental dao patterns were only six-star. What’s more, according to Jiang Yi’s knowledge, earth-elemental dao patterns were almost all defensive in nature. Elemental dao patterns were elemental dao patterns after all. How could they become like heaven and earth dao patterns or supreme dao pattern?

Forget it. I’m going to realize this earth-elemental dao pattern first. It’s more important to survive.

Jiang Yi’s left hand lit up, and the Thousand Thearch Shield appeared in his hand. The Fire Dragon Sword appeared in his right hand, and the Astral Winds Divine Shield congealed as well. He did not dare to be too careless. The attacks were only going to get more aggressive. If he went on this way—not only might he be unable to realize the dao pattern, but he might even perish in here.

There are ten more waves to go. In fifteen minutes, the frightening lightning will come. If I still cannot realize the earth-elemental dao pattern by then, I will be stuck here forever.

Jiang Yi’s eyes turned to ice. He was fighting death at that moment. Geared up in his battle armor, his brain kept turning. He quickly closed his eyes and tried his best to realize the earth-elemental dao pattern hidden in the Meteorite Killing Formation.
