Chapter 542: Chapter 254: The Ten Deadly Formations

Fu Shen Tianji had only the upper half of his torso left; his lower body had completely decomposed. Even the upper body was riddled with holes, marked by traces of magical treasures, wounds from claws and teeth, and damage from spells.

His head had a hole at the back, missing a large chunk as if a cylindrical object as thick as a fist had exactly passed through his brain from one side. freewёbnoνel-com

A normal person with such severe injuries would definitely not survive.

Yet, Fu Shen Tianji survived and had been alive in the corridors of True King’s Tomb for many years.

His body was flesh and blood, but he emitted a unique malicious aura typical of Evil Spirits.

— Grandfather’s creations always possessed profound maliciousness.

His mind seemed impaired; gazing at Chen Shi, he spoke without human emotion, "Chen Tang, your father wants you home."

He then appeared to slip back into a state of death, lying on the ground breathless.

However, inside the wounds in his chest, the flesh squirmed.

Fu Shen Tianji was astonishingly self-repairing!

"Creation Little Five can too! Even stronger!"

Witnessing this scene, Chen Shi was both shocked and horrified, recalling how Grandfather had killed Creation Little Five twice, and yet, he had revived!

And he revived by his own power!

Fu Shen Tianji also possessed the ability to self-repair. Despite receiving the true teachings from his grandfather, Chen Shi could not discern the source of this capability.

However, other Fu Shen Tianji did not self-repair.

It appears that Fu Shen Tianji’s self-repairing ability was limited, and if dead, he might truly be dead.

Chen Shi walked towards the Book Collection Pavilion, looking back, thought, "After all, it’s Grandfather’s relic, I can’t let it decay here, I’ll take it with me when I leave."

The True King’s Tomb’s Book Collection Pavilion was actually a stone chamber, which had no physical doors but was constructed using incredibly complex talismans. Various patterns of talismans were connected to each other, forming the shape of a doorway.

To enter, one must pass through these talisman patterns.

The various talisman patterns interconnected with each other, both large and small, forming an exceedingly complex but equally refined and harmonious whole.

There was only one solution!

Chen Shi stared at the doorway of the stone chamber, instantly recognizing the construction method of the talismanic formation.

Similar talismanic formations, Grandfather had drawn many types during his lifetime, ranging from simple to complex, giving them to him to solve.

Initially, solving these talisman formations felt tedious to Chen Shi, but as he continued, he discovered many interesting aspects. Each successful solution brought him immense pleasure.

The doorway of the True King’s Tomb’s Book Collection Pavilion was the most complex he had ever seen, but for him, it was merely complexity.

"Did Grandfather make me solve similar talisman formations just for today?"

Chen Shi felt warmth in his heart, observing the construction of the talisman formation and pondering each variation, even deducing the starting point of each talisman.

All talismans start with a beginning, created through the Talisman Master channeling spirit, in one smooth motion.

All talismans, though seemingly two-dimensional, are actually three-dimensional, compressed from a three-dimensional state to a two-dimensional one. However, to solve them, one must revert them to their three-dimensional form.

However, the process of a talisman transforming into its three-dimensional form is when its power bursts forth. To solve a talisman, one must prevent it from erupting, henceforth constructing its three-dimensional form in the solver’s mind.

For many, transforming a two-dimensional talisman into a three-dimensional one is challenging, hence despite numerous Talisman Masters, few are capable of solving talismans.

The current challenge with the talismanic doorway was to find its starting point, the essence of spirit.

Looking ahead, the talismanic doorway was no longer two-dimensional to Chen Shi; instead, it appeared as an array of Divine and Demon figures draped from head to toe, forming a deadly battleground!

These divine and demonic figures were strategically placed throughout the space.

And their starts precisely formed a complex talismanic pattern.

Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman!

Chen Shi was slightly taken aback; he had studied the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman with his grandfather. This talismanic construction was complex but ironically useless in invoking power. Grandfather just had him practice drawing it multiple times to memorize its structure without explaining its use.

Now, it seemed like Grandfather had preemptively given him the precise answer!

However, it was not until Chen Shi observed the talismanic formation at the entrance of the Book Collection Pavilion that he finally understood how the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman could unleash its power.

"All the talismanic patterns start, forming the strokes of the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman, a total of two hundred fifty-six strokes, corresponding to two hundred fifty-six talismanic patterns, collectively forming the Ten Absolute Tribulation Formation. So..."

Chen Shi stood before the entrance, fixating on the formation formed by these talismanic patterns.

Thus, by activating the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman, using each stroke of the talisman as a starting point, could one not instantly deploy a Ten Absolute Tribulation Formation?

He wasn’t in a hurry to enter the Book Collection Pavilion; instead, he stood before the entrance, quietly studying the various changes of the Ten Absolute Tribulation Formation.

The Sheep-Horned Man, who also knew the difficulty of solving the doorway, didn’t rush him, quietly waiting.

After an indefinite amount of time, Chen Shi grasped all the changes of the Ten Absolute Formation, closed his eyes, and in his mind, the Ten Absolute Spirit Banner Talisman transformed from a two-dimensional form into a three-dimensional one, evolving from one talisman into two hundred fifty-six talismans, becoming two hundred fifty-six Divine entities!

The formation changed, and in an instant, a surge of killing energy erupted!

Chen Shi opened his eyes, his gaze emitting twin beams of blood-red light; the residual murderous intent from constructing the Ten Absolute Tribulation Formation in his mind hadn’t completely dissipated and shot out from his eyes.
