Chapter 238: Formation Activation and Heavenly Eye Descends
One of them manipulated a tool to open the earth vein while the other asked, "Are you certain this is the location where the formation compass detected damage?"
"Relax, there is no mistake," the other replied.
The second man took out a jade talisman glowing with spiritual light and waited.
He spoke uneasily, "In the three hundred years since I came here, this formation has never been damaged. I have a bad feeling about this."
"You are just nervous because it is your first time leaving the Holy See of the Fourfold Order. It has been tens of thousands of years, and nothing has ever gone wrong there. Let me tell you..."
Before he could finish speaking, a black sword shot forward with unstoppable force.
He had no time to react and fell instantly, his body and soul destroyed.
Even his Nascent Soul could not escape.
The other man reacted quickly, activating his jade talisman to block the sword’s attack as he fled in panic.
"It worked. Qing Shuang and the others have already caught up. They will lure most of those people who call themselves the Holy See of the Fourfold Order over here. We will deal with the rest. Do you have confidence, young friend?" Tao Lin asked as she watched the fleeing figure.
Fu Young replied calmly, "Not young friend. My name is Fu Young. Do not worry. This formation was specially created for them. The real concern is whether your helpers can handle the smaller group on the other side."
"There is no need for unnecessary worry. No one from the Alliance is weak. We must capture as many of them alive as possible to extract information," San Tu said firmly.
Xiao Shou shivered slightly as he looked at the scene in the distance.
One strike had killed a Nascent Soul cultivator with their body and soul destroyed.
As expected of San Tu.
Still, compared to his own disciple’s plans, this one on one method seemed almost gentle.
Thinking about Fu Young’s ruthless strategy, Xiao Shou felt cold sweat forming again.
The group waited silently within Xiao Shou’s illusion.
More than two hours later, a streak of light shot across the sky like a meteor.
Behind it, countless streaks of light followed in pursuit.
Tao Lin who had been resting with her eyes closed suddenly opened them and gasped.
"Over a hundred Spirit Transformation cultivators, nearly a thousand Nascent Soul cultivators, and tens of thousands at the Golden Core stage... with numbers like this, are you really confident?"
"Relax. I have been looking forward to this," Fu Young said and a dangerous glint flashing in his eyes.
"Though there are fewer people here than expected. Seniors, please take Guangming and the others to regroup with your forces. Be careful. The enemy strength there will likely be greater than here. If you cannot win, use that method. Trap that Holy See of the Fourfold Order and do not let a single one escape. Wait for us to join you."
He then turned to Xiao Shou.
"Master, begin."
"Mm. If this goes well, I will request credit for all of you from the Alliance. Your efforts will not be wasted," San Tu said before leaving.
"Alright. Hurry. With numbers like this, it will not hold for even a moment," Xiao Shou nodded.
As San Tu and Tao Lin took the four Gou members and teleported away, Xiao Shou immediately activated the Dreamshard Illusion Sphere.
Using illusion techniques, he created a massive illusion that enveloped all the pursuers.
Within the illusion, he replaced Qing Shuang, allowing him to escape successfully.
At the same time, Fu Young rapidly formed hand seals, activating the formation that covered tens of thousands of miles.
The moment the illusion shattered, the pursuers were stunned to discover that beneath their feet, a familiar formation that was now magnified a hundred times was glowing brightly.
Within the formation, forty nine pairs of black and white Cycle of Cause and End Relics burst out from the ground.
Their openings all snapped open at the same time.
A dense stream of black and white energy burst out from the gourds.
Instead of dispersing, it ignited along with the light of the formation and spread toward everyone within a radius of ten thousand miles.
Seeing this, the Golden Core cultivators were still confused and unable to react.
The Nascent Soul cultivators immediately turned and fled, trying to avoid the black and white energy while escaping outward.
The Spirit Transformation cultivators attempted to use teleportation to escape the formation directly.
However...
"Damn it, the space is sealed!"
"The earth is frozen. Earth escape is useless!"
"How are the Cycle of Cause and End Relics here!"
"Has someone betrayed us?"
"Find a way to break the formation!"
"There is no time. Break it by force!"
Some of those who seemed to be leaders transmitted their voices in all directions.
"It is a trap. Everyone retreat immediately. Do not let the black and white energy touch you. Move!"
"Trying to leave? It’s too late."
Fu Young’s eyes were filled with killing intent.
He was truly furious.
The thought that his master had nearly suffered such a fate, that if not for chance...
At that thought, he showed no mercy.
He formed hand seals at once, altering the formation.
Within the ten thousand mile radius, aside from the few meters where he and Xiao Shou stood, every inch of space was filled with the black and white energy.
It wrapped around every single person.
No matter their cultivation level, none of them could escape from it.
At the same time, the dark clouds surged across the sky, blotting out the stars.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, even more terrifying than when Xiao Shou and the others had faced their tribulation.
What was even more shocking was that within the rolling storm clouds, a massive golden eye appeared at the very center.
The enormous golden eye remained still, seemingly devoid of emotion or thought.
Yet the moment Fu Young completed the final step of the formation and returned their own method upon them, the giant eye in the storm seemed to blink.
Immediately, a pillar of golden light descended from it.
