188: Chapter 189 Breaking the Formation!
As time passed, the Formation was successfully set up in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
At the command of the lead Formation Master, the Cultivators setting up the Formation channeled all their magical power into it.
Buzz buzz—
The Formation Flag grew against the wind, transforming into several zhang in size.
As the buzzing sound echoed, dense tadpole-like script began to circulate on the banner, accompanied by flashing red and green lights, appearing profoundly mysterious.
When the surrounding lights began to converge and connect, the Formation Flags also echoed each other from afar.
The Formation Master, who was in charge of the main Formation, also unfurled a Formation Flag, and in an instant, the sky full of light began to condense.
Clear wind and fierce flames swept out from the Formation Flag, instantly covering the entire area of Bibotan (Bibo Tan - Azure Wave Pond).
This was a second-tier, top-grade Spiritual Formation—the Wind Sha Blazing Fire Formation.
It could condense Heavenly Gang Wind Sha and Scarlet Spiritual Blazing Flames.
Although it was only a second-tier Grand Formation, this Formation was extremely special.
With wind aiding the fire and fire borrowing the wind's might, the Formation's power was sublimated and transformed, and simultaneously, under the combined activation of thirty-six Foundation Establishment Cultivators, the Wind Sha Blazing Fire Formation was no weaker than the Chu Family's third-tier Formation.
Furthermore, the power of wind and fire perfectly countered the poisonous miasma of the Azure Wave Myriad Poison Grand Formation.
With this ebb and flow, the Chu Family's Family Protection Grand Formation no longer held any advantage.
One could only see streams of Gang Wind carrying fire whirlwinds, condensing into a Fire Phoenix in the high sky, with scarlet flames sweeping out from its body.
Under the illumination of the sky full of fire, Bibotan (Bibo Tan - Azure Wave Pond) appeared ablaze, and even the surrounding air became extremely hot.
Sizzle sizzle!
The scarlet flames swept over the colorful light screen, burning away all the poisonous miasma attached to the air.
The colorful smoke and miasma quickly receded, gradually revealing the true face of Bibotan (Bibo Tan - Azure Wave Pond), surrounded by mountains.
The Old Ancestor of the Chu Family's eyelids twitched at this sight, a premonition of ill fortune rising in his heart.
At this moment, he was already somewhat overwhelmed facing the attacks of countless Cultivators alone and the bombardment of the torrent of Spells from the spiritual boats.
But he could not let it go unchecked; if he allowed that Fire Phoenix to fall, the Chu Family would be in peril!
In desperation, he could only manipulate the Azure Wave Myriad Poison Grand Formation, diverting a portion of the Formation's energy.
A colorful Heavenly Scorpion, about a hundred zhang in size, condensed above the Chu Family.
Its tail, a huge scorpion tail gleaming with cold light, slowly rose.
Its giant pincers, as large as small mountains, were even more awe-inspiring.
The scorpion beast opened its ferocious maw and let out a roar.
Roar!!
The Scarlet Blazing Phoenix condensed from the Wind Sha Blazing Fire Formation also let out a Phoenix cry, unwilling to be outdone.
Its crimson Phoenix eyes looked down from above at the colorful Heavenly Scorpion below, then suddenly swooped down.
The colorful Heavenly Scorpion was not to be outdone, its eyes filled with ferocity and immense power, as it raised its giant pincers to meet the Fire Phoenix.
Rumble!
An earth-shattering collision echoed through the mountains and ridges.
The Yao Beasts in the mountain forests fled in fright.
The waters of Bibotan (Bibo Tan - Azure Wave Pond) surged, and the surface shook violently.
The poisonous insects and creatures within were instantly incinerated by the flames.
“Woo~”
The colorful Heavenly Scorpion, with only a portion of the Formation's power, was naturally no match for the Fire Phoenix.
In a single encounter, it was shattered into pieces by the sweeping flames from the flapping Phoenix wings.
It let out a mournful cry and then dispersed in the air, leaving only some residual colorful poisonous mist that quickly melted back into the Formation.
However, it was not over yet.
The arrogant Fire Phoenix dove straight down, its target not the Azure Wave Myriad Poison Grand Formation.
Instead, it plunged like an arrow into the depths of Bibotan (Bibo Tan - Azure Wave Pond).
Sizzle sizzle!
Rumble!
Upon contact with the pond water, the flames instantly generated countless wisps of steam.
Then the ground began to tremble slightly, and the tremors rapidly intensified.
Soon, the earth began to shake violently!
A fissure opened in the ground beneath Bibotan (Bibo Tan - Azure Wave Pond), like a giant beast from the abyss opening its ferocious maw.
A vortex appeared in the dark green pond water, rapidly spinning and engulfing everything around it, pouring into the abyss fissure.
And in an unseen place, the second-tier, top-grade Spiritual Vein hidden beneath Bibotan (Bibo Tan - Azure Wave Pond) was forcibly smashed by the descending Fire Phoenix!
Spiritual Qi collapsed with a roar, beginning to degrade.
The Azure Wave Myriad Poison Grand Formation above, having lost the support of the Spiritual Vein's energy, began to tremble frantically, its colorful light screen flickering non-stop.
“No!!!”
The Old Ancestor of the Chu Family watched this scene, his eyes bloodshot.
The Spiritual Vein was severed, the third-tier Formation lost its Spiritual Qi supply, and began to totter.
The Foundation of the Formation also suffered a considerable impact, and its power was greatly diminished.
A large number of Formation Flags began to shatter, and flaws appeared in the colorful barrier, after which the Chu Family's scene was completely exposed to everyone.
“How dare you, how dare you…”
The Old Ancestor of the Chu Family's eyes were vacant, and he murmured to himself.
It wasn't that he hadn't considered that the other party had means to break the Formation, and he had prepared for it.
But he didn't expect the Qingxuan Sect to flip the table from the start, leaving no room for negotiation.
Such malicious actions were clearly aimed at destroying the Chu Family's Foundation.
Even if the Chu Family won this battle, the Family's Foundation would be completely ruined.
Moreover, he really couldn't understand, how dare the Qingxuan Sect!
Did they no longer want this spiritual land?
...“Breaking a Formation with a Formation...”
Lu Ming stared intently at the scene, exclaiming in admiration, but his mind was constantly pondering.
Although he was a half-baked first-tier Formation Master, he could still discern a few superficial things.
He had largely guessed the Qingxuan Sect's intentions.
However, this would ultimately lead to the collapse of the Chu Family's spiritual land; at that time, this area would become a barren land, no longer suitable for Cultivator survival.
The second-tier, top-grade Spiritual Vein beneath Bibotan (Bibo Tan - Azure Wave Pond) was not as good as the Qingxuan Sect's third-tier Spiritual Vein.
But it was still a good spiritual field and blessed land, rare in the barren Southern Wilderness Region.
Each one used meant one less; its value was simply unimaginable!
“To destroy it like this is a bit of a waste of natural resources!”
Lu Ming grumbled in his heart, exclaiming, “Good heavens!”
However, this also showed how determined the Qingxuan Sect was to annihilate the Chu Family.
If they couldn't have it, they would destroy it, not leaving the Chu Family any way out... In the high sky, Cheng Qingxuan watched this scene with a calm gaze, his face devoid of emotion.
It seemed that a spiritual land was not worth his concern at all.
In fact, it was precisely so; compared to eliminating future troubles, what did destroying a spiritual land count for?
Of two evils, choose the lesser!
If the old ghost of the Chu Family truly became powerful, the Qingxuan Sect would lose more than just these benefits.
Moreover, after annihilating the Chu Family, the accumulated wealth of a Family with thousands of years of history would be enough to recover some losses.
Now that the Formation was broken, this boring farce should end.
He crooked his finger, and Lu Chengfeng, the Sect Leader of Qingxuan Sect behind him, immediately understood, using his magical power to spread his voice throughout the field.
“The Chu Family ambushed and killed Sect deacons and Elders, causing their demise; this crime is unforgivable!”
“All Disciples of Qingxuan Sect, listen to my command: the Grand Formation is broken! By my order, attack the Chu Family with full force! Those who resist shall be suppressed and killed with thunderous means.”
At this moment, Lu Chengxuan's tone had become extremely cold.
This campaign was not only to avenge the Sect Disciples but also to show the Qingxuan Sect's fangs to the outside world for too long.
He wanted to use the blood of the Chu Family to warn those restless Cultivators and forces under his command.
