14 Obtaining Emperor Sealing Eight-Trigram Heavenly Formation!

What kind of existence was an Emperor?

Although his knowledge of the world was still limited to Eastern Desolate, he knew that an Emperor was a being that could turn countless saints into piles of bones with merely a wave of the hand.

If the Demon Emperor sealed inside managed to break out of the imprisonment, let alone a small fry like him, he was sure that the entire Eastern Desolate could be flattened and perished by his hand.

Once again, he felt that this place called Eternal Dungeon became more and more unfathomable and terrifying!

But his fear didn't last long as he read the explanation about this sealing formation, which was happened to be recorded after the end of the powerhouse's story.

"Emperor Sealing Eight-Trigram Heavenly Formation!"

What a domineering name!

It was a formation that used one's vitality to transform the surrounding space into a dimensional prison and permanently seal the enemy within it.

The more vitality infused into it, the more terrifying the might of the formation would become.

As long as you have enough lifespan, let alone a dying Emperor, even an emperor in their peak wouldn't be able to break out of this sealing formation.

That wasn't the most frightening aspect of this formation; it was created with a self-sustaining mechanism built in—the enemy who was trapped inside this formation would be devoured of their vitality to maintain and strengthen this formation.

It was akin to hiring an assassin to kill yourself with your own money. Truly a miserable end.

"So, the nine stairs outside are connected to this formation, and they greedily absorb the challenger's lifespan to feed on it. Now all makes sense."

Li Changsheng nodded in understanding, and his heart throbbed in anticipation of making the method to use this formation his own.

He immediately closed his eyes and meditated in front of the stone monument, trying to comprehend this technique, which was proven to be a piece of cake for Li Changsheng, whose comprehension had improved by leaps and bounds in consequence of the earth-shattering transformation of his foundation into a top-grade profound meridian.

Although the Emperor Sealing Eight-Trigram Heavenly Formation was extremely complex and profound, it didn't hinder Li Changsheng from quickly grasping its essence, thus causing his proficiency over the technique to instantly reach the first level.

Suddenly, the formation beneath him glowed even brighter, and a second later, it agglomerated into a ray of light and shot toward his glabella.

The moment the light vanished into his body, Li Changsheng's eyes snapped open, revealing a pair of black pupils as deep as the bottom of the ocean, exuding a profound mystery for a second before regaining their ordinary appearances the next second.

"Hehehe… After learning this formation, even if I can't beat my enemies, I can burn up to 100,000 years of lifespan to seal them! Let's see how long they will be able to survive then!"

Li Changsheng burst out in a fit of laughter as he imagined his future enemies being hopeless inside the formation he conjured.

Truly satisfying!

For the current him, by sacrificing 100,000 years of his lifespan, he would be able to seal anyone below the saint; in other words, anyone below the Origin Returning Realm who has already grasped the concept of law wouldn't be able to escape the imprisonment.

And he was certain that the upper limit of this formation was way above that.

Li Changsheng currently only comprehended the first level out of three levels. If he had successfully comprehended the third level, even sealing an Emperor with his current cultivation wouldn't be impossible as long as he was willing to pay the price!

"Alas, my cultivation level is far too low, and my comprehension isn't enough; if not, I might be able to learn it completely today," Li Changsheng sighed regretfully.

Now that he had learned the formation technique, he would be able to control the formation here to some extent.

It meant that he would be able to sneak a peek at the so-called Demon Emperor, who was sealed here, if he wished to.

He was tempted to satisfy his curiosity, but he was also afraid that he would do something so stupid, resulting in irreversible and out-of-control situations to emerge.

After careful calculation and judgement, he finally made up his mind and immediately released his spiritual sense, trying to synchronize with the formation in the room, and soon after his consciousness entered the formation.

Inside, a vast, dark space lay before him. Covering it like a dome was a thick layer of distorted space, separating the two dimensions.

In a small corner of the vast space, Li Changsheng could see "something" shrouded completely in pitch-black miasma, and from the ground, countless chains emerged and flung over the miasma, tying the existence behind it down and pinning it to the ground.

Seeing this terrifying scene, Li Changsheng's heart shuddered, his blood went cold, and his scalp tingled. He was certain that what lay inside was something beyond his comprehension.

"As expected of a being at the level of the Emperor, even its mere presence can overshadow the like of Demon Desolate and co."

Although he felt some degree of awe and fear toward the existence imprisoned inside the formation, he couldn't help but be a little bit greedy as he imagined the possibility of making a being of that level his subordinate.

Even a thousand Li Tianjis wouldn't be able to do anything to him at all! And at that point, the Great Desolate Kingdom would definitely be turned upside down by him.

"Well, let's go out first." Li Changsheng took another glance at the so-called Demon Emperor before retracting his consciousness out of the formation and walking toward the exit.

After gaining a little bit of mastery over the formation, his senses weren't restricted anymore as he passed through the path connecting the massive stone gate and the room where the stone monument was located.

By no time, he had already gone outside the cave and descended the stairs to find that the trio had hurriedly come over as if they were genuinely concerned about him.

Li Changsheng was a little bit surprised but didn't show it on the surface. He didn't know what kind of gourd they were selling.

"Brother Li, you finally came out! Are you okay?"

Li Changsheng shook his head and began his explanation: "I went into the cave and…"

He didn't omit anything, as he was confident that even if they knew what was inside, they had no ability to claim it for themselves. After all, they needed to have at least a hundred years of lifespan to reach that place.

"Hiss…."

Listening to Li Changsheng recount his experience, the trio couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.

"It turned out to be a remnant of a Demon Emperor!"

After learning that a Demon Emperor was sealed here, Mo Tiesha and the others did not dare to approach the stairs, despite their yearning and longing to see such an existence.

Although their realm was extremely high, they couldn't be compared to an Emperor, making the scalps of the three villains' heads tingle.
