Chapter 429: Formation Breaking
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
After the effeminate figure spoke, everyone's expressions turned heavy.
With their cultivation sealed, they were only slightly stronger than normal humans. Using some special martial techniques, they might still be able to fight and kill Dark Jing experts. But if they met something on the level of an Evolved Jing master, everyone would die.
At this time, the leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils waved his hand and said, "It's already enough to reach this point. Leave the rest of the matter to us. All of you only need to guard the outside properly, and not let anything enter."
Without waiting for the rest to reply, he followed the effeminate person with the compass, going deeper in.
"Interesting, there's three layers of restrictions, but my mental power is not restricted at all."
Bei Feng smiled lightly and followed the two Kunlun Devils in.
Bei Feng's mental power combat prowess was not weaker than a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert's. In fact, it might even be stronger!
Soaring Rainbow was the main reason that Bei Feng dared to enter. As for the leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils, his mental power was much stronger than normal Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts. Furthermore, he had the Kunlun Void, a weapon that could be powered by mental power as well!
Bei Feng's Soaring Rainbow had been nurtured in his body for many years, and the two materials had also entered the final stage of completely fusing with each other, becoming a peak Grade 9 weapon! With just one more step, it would turn into a Star Grade weapon. On the other hand, the Kunlun void was the sect treasure of the legendary Kunlun Sect which was famed to be the home of deities. Its grade was also much higher than Soaring Rainbow!
"Yan Luo, how is it? Can you find the Dragon Imprisonment Ground?" Ling Xu asked in a gruff voice.
"It's difficult, I need more time. The formation here is really too strong."
The effeminate voice rang out as a golden light burst out of the strange compass. Countless runes and unknown patterns appeared on it and it rotated like a projection.
"Formation master?"
Bei Feng was truly shocked this time. As expected, Kunlun Sect's foundations were truly deep!
Seeing that Bei Feng had followed them in, Ling Xu turned and looked at him calmly without saying anything. When Bei Feng had used Soaring Rainbow to kill the Hollow Ghost Face Spider back then, Ling Xu already knew that Bei Feng also had a powerful mental power and a weapon that could be controlled by mental power, like him.
"Sou!"
As they walked, a large snake as thick as a human's thigh and about seven, eight meters long suddenly shot over and snapped its jaws at the three!
This snake was covered in numerous golden ring patterns. A pair of sharp teeth hung from its mouth, while a clear slimy liquid dripped from it.
There was no doubt that this was a venomous snake! It was hard to imagine how a venomous snake was actually able to grow to such a size in this kind of place. It could be considered a top dog (python) in this world.
"Pu!"
Without waiting for the snake to get close, a crescent shaped light flashed past, and the entire snake turned rigid. A moment later, its body split into countless small pieces of meat and blood which dropped onto the ground.
Turning to look at Ling Xu again, Kunlun Void was still floating around his body calmly, without a single drop of blood on it.
Yan Luo did not seem to notice anything, continuing to chant and mumble. From time to time, numerous pieces of white jade which had been dipped in sheep fat were thrown outwards onto seemingly random areas by the bloodshot figure.
"Hou!"
Yan Luo's actions seemed to have clashed against the formation. A moment later, two illusory beasts formed entirely from ling Qi suddenly burst out of thin air, roaring menacingly.
"Do not let these two beasts disturb Yan Luo! We'll both protect him together; each one of us will handle one beast."
Ling Xu's brows were knitted tightly together. This kind of immaterial things was the most troublesome to deal with. It was almost impossible to kill them, but they had the ability to kill you!
This kind of spirit materialization could only be defeated by exhausting its energy. But this place was the heart of the formation, and countless amounts of energy were gathered here. It was obviously futile to try to exhaust their energy. Thus, the only thing remaining was to stall for time.
"Slash!"
"Annihilate!"
Bei Feng and Ling Xu used all their strength from the start, and didn't hold anything back. These two beasts made of ling Qi were not any weaker than Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts.
Soaring Rainbow and Kunlun Void burst out the two's bodies. In an instant, their opponents was torn to shreds.
But in the next moment, Heaven and Earth Ling Qi flowed into their bodies again and the two immaterial beasts reappeared, charging at Bei Feng's group!
"Whoosh!"
A wind blade slashed past Bei Feng's ear, gleaming with an extremely sharp edge, slicing off a strand of Bei Feng's white hair.
This strike had been aimed at Bei Feng's head. If his reaction had not been fast enough, using his mental power to move his body, he would already have been lying on the ground in a pool of his own blood right now!
Even though he'd dodged the attack, Bei Feng's back was drenched in sweat. He'd never felt so close to death before!
With his blood and Qi sealed, Bei Feng's body was only a little stronger than a normal human's. Although his body's defensive ability was much stronger than other cultivators', it was definitely not enough to resist this attack!
Bei Feng and Ling Xu cut a sorry figure as they panted with exhaustion. After being restricted so greatly, it was impossible to contend against such a formation. The beasts were completely fine after being torn apart continuously, but just taking a single hit from them was deadly!
Bei Feng did not say a single word. His mental power was pushed to its limit, and the dark-golden Soaring Rainbow whizzed around him at terrifying speeds. On the other side, Ling Xu also looked extremely wretched as he turned around and shouted, "Yan Luo, hurry up!"
"Soon! I'll be done soon! Just hold on for a little longer!"
Yan Luo also knew that they were at a critical point. In that moment, Yan Luo bit down on his tongue and spat out a mouthful of life essence blood on the compass. After that, the compass was placed heavily against the ground!
"Weng, weng!"
Numerous patterns lit up; the jades that were thrown out in a seemingly manner were actually small points of connections!
A terrifying pressure rose up endlessly from under Yan Luo's feet, and a huge amount of Ling Qi swept out in all directions!
The seemingly invincible sprites that would not die no matter what earlier were instantly vanquished by this blast of Ling Qi.
"Ka-cha!"
The crisp sound of a lock opening rang out, followed by the clanging sound of chains!
The huge chains stretching across the skies suddenly moved, and the ground beneath Bei Feng and the rest's feet wobbled like water.
At this time, the sturdy ground was like a bunch of wax that'd met a flame, disappearing with rapid speed to reveal a large entrance to an underground crypt.
"Formations, truly miraculous!"
Bei Feng sighed with amazement. The whole thing was akin to a miracle; as long as one reached a high enough level in the Dao of Formations, it was not any weaker than the Martial Dao!
"This time it's really thanks to Fellow Daoist. It was us who planned poorly. Who would have that, after such a long time, the formation's strength would still be so high."
Ling Xu turned to Bei Feng and clasped his fists in thanks with some lingering fear in his voice.
"Don't worry about it, everyone's here for the same purpose."
Bei Feng shook his head dismissively.
"Hu, hu!!"
Beside him, Yan Luo was gasping and breathing in an extremely ragged manner. Breaking the formation with his own cultivation was still too forceful. Even if this was just a small part of the grand formation, it was still extremely tough.
Yan Luo coughed weakly and said, "I've taken a huge loss this time. A mouthful of life essence blood is something that I'll need at least 30 years to recover!"
The life essence blood was the most valuable thing for a cultivator. No matter if one was a Qi refiner or a body cultivator, everything depended on life essence blood.
The only difference was that body cultivators had thicker life blood essence. But as everyone had their zhenqi and blood and Qi restricted by the formation, Yan Luo could only use life blood essence to forcefully activate the formation.
