Let us speak further of the Two Yi Micro Dust Formation, known as the foremost enigmatic formation. To begin with, it requires a Tai Chi Diagram as its eye; no other than the Tai Chi Diagram can establish the formation. The so-called transformation of Taiji into Two Yi is for the Two Yi Micro Dust Formation. Although it only requires a holy sage to preside over it, this formation is immobile, and it can merely confound and trap, unable to attack and kill. Hence, it is ever so slightly weaker.

Next, we have the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars—mighty in strength, it does not require the personal supervision of a holy sage. However, to set up this formation, one would need three hundred sixty-five Heavenly Demons to preside over three hundred sixty-five stars, collectively arranging it with the Chaos Bell as the eye. Setting up this formation is equally stringent, possible only because Taiyi possesses such great influence. Once Taiyi is gone, the Great Array would still exist, but no one could lay it out anymore.

The Four Great Innate Supreme Treasures each correspond to one of the four formations: The Tai Chi Diagram corresponds to the Two Yi Micro Dust Formation, the Zhu Xian Four Swords correspond to the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, the Chaos Bell corresponds to the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars, and the Pangu Banner corresponds to the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation! Each formation has its distinct features, but undoubtedly, they are all the most formidable arrays, with none superior to the others.

The Two Yi Micro Dust Formation is the finest confusing array in the world, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation is the ultimate killing array, the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars is the fiercest, and the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation is the most malevolent! Each has its characteristics, making it hard to discern their rank.

However, this comparison is from a functionality perspective. If we compare by sheer power, the All-Heaven Divine and Evil would be foremost. The All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation can condense Pangu's True Form, its might is unmatched—so powerful that this world cannot contain it. When the Twelve Ancestral Witches were alive, even holy sages did not dare to provoke recklessly, which speaks to its terrifying power!

In that era, Donghuang Tai Yi fought against the Twelve Ancestral Witches repeatedly but always ended in defeat. Later... by the holy sages' scheme, they let the Ancestral Witch Houtu turn into hell, leaving the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation incomplete. Yet even so, the Demon Race was still unable to contend with the damaged formation until they designed against Zhurong and Gonggong, weakening the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation to a considerable degree. However, even then, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, with the formation missing three witches, fought to mutual destruction with Donghuang Tai Yi and the hordes of Demons. From this, it is clear that the All-Heaven Divine and Evil is the supreme formation! Even holy sages dare not confront it—it is the unparalleled top formation!

Aside from the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation, the second in strength should be the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation. The reason behind its being second is that once this sword array is completed, not even the Four Saints together can break it! It is second only to the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation. You must understand... even if the Six Saints were to challenge the might of the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation, they too would be forced to retreat in defeat. Who could possibly withstand Pangu?

If we say the first formation is Pangu's True Form, then the second formation is, in actuality, the edge of the Sky-opening Axe. The Zhu Xian Four Swords were forged from the shattered blade of the Sky-opening Axe. Once united, their power is vast enough to create heaven and earth! They are beyond comparison to the other formations!

Thinking of this, Xin Yun couldn't help feeling excited. If one day he could repair the Sky-opening Axe, then what would be the outcome if the five Great Innate Treasures combined? Just the Union of the Four Swords, crafted from the blade fragments, is already so formidable—imagine if the entire Sky-opening Axe, like Pangu's True Form, were to be condensed...

A beautiful dream, but the difficulty of achieving it is nearly indescribable. Let's not dwell on that for now, and move on to the third formation, the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars laid out with the Chaos Bell!

The reason this formation ranks third, rather than the Two Yi Micro Dust Formation, is Xin Yun's own reasoning. Although the Two Yi Micro Dust Formation is strong, it is more about bewilderment, illusion, and entrapment. For true masters, it's not as formidable; and although difficult to break, a Quasi-Sect Master Level practitioner could manage to escape safely.

The Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars is different, arranged by three hundred sixty-five Heavenly Demons. The most significant feature of this array is that it allows all 365 demons to possess the strength of Golden Immortals, and as long as they remain within the array, they are undying and indestructible. Even a holy sage would find it extremely troublesome to enter. While holy sages possess Supreme Treasures, this Great Array, arranged with the explosive Chaos Bell, is exceedingly difficult to break. There are no records of a holy sage ever facing the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars—not out of disdain, but reluctance.

In the end, the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars was broken using Pangu's True Form, which struck the Chaos Bell away. With the eye gone, the formation was breached. Clearly... even the holy sages alone did not have the power to do so.

Although holy sages are incredibly strong, they are not omnipotent. Before the Witch Ghosts exited the historical stage, the world belonged to the Witch Ghosts, not the sages. The reason for this was the existence of the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation and the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars. Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire

Eventually, through the scheming of the sages, the Witch Ghosts withdrew from history's stage, and the Human Race, created by the sages, officially emerged, followed by the age of the sages. From this, one can see just how powerful these two formations were—even the Six Saints had to destroy both formations to dominate the world freely!

As for the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, we need not discuss it further. To break this formation, the Four Saints of the east and west unprecedentedly joined forces, indicating its power. If we say that both Pangu and the Sky-opening Axe cannot coexist with this world, then the Zhu Xian Four Swords cannot coexist with the sages. Once the Swords of Executing Immortal appear, all saints must come forth!

Without a doubt, whether it be the All-Heaven Divine and Evil Formation, the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, or the Great Array of Zhou Heavenly Stars, each is an exceptionally powerful array. Even if holy sages were to venture into them, they would emerge disheveled, perhaps even sustain grave injuries, needing millions of years to recover. That would effectively mean vacating the grand stage of this world.
