412: Chapter 416 Breaking the Formation!!

On the flying boat in the distance, Murong Jingyang looked at the faces of the Cultivators who were fanatical to the point of madness. His lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but curse under his breath:

"A bunch of fools who don't know the meaning of death! Do they really think the Li Family is a soft persimmon? If they counterattack in their death throes, wouldn't it be easy for them to take a few down with them?"

Lu Ming stood before him with his hands behind his back. Hearing this, he didn't turn around, but merely murmured to himself in his heart:

"Of course they know."

Don't be fooled by how loudly these people are shouting or how fierce their offensive seems; they all have a scale in their hearts.

The reason they dared to besiege a Golden Core Family so unscrupulously was nothing more than their certainty that the Li Family wouldn't truly risk their lives.

Or more accurately, they were certain that the one being dragged down with them wouldn't be themselves.

Such is human nature. Greed makes people forget fear, and wishful thinking blinds their reason.

Lu Ming looked up slightly toward the distant azure light barrier, which, though dimmed, remained stubborn.

Another round of offensive was brewing. The Cultivators of the Alliance, like sharks scenting blood, began to regroup their Formation, preparing to launch another assault.

The Li Family's "Canglan Sea-Overturning Formation" grew dimmer and thinner with each successive impact.

Yet it continued to hold firm, like an eternal city wall, using its final strength to protect the Family behind it.

However, no one knew that the one truly deciding the fate of this Formation was no longer the Li Family, nor the Alliance.

Lu Ming's fingers, hidden within his sleeves, began to tremble slightly at an imperceptible frequency.

With every tremor, he would secretly intercept a strand of Qi from the chaotic battlefield in the distance.

At the same time, within his perception, several strands of Karma related to him were approaching this area at extreme speed.

One strand came from the northeast, its Qi sharp and vaguely circulating with black and white dao rhyme; clearly, it was Yun Chenzi.

Another, slightly obscure but carrying the mysterious fluctuations unique to a Heavenly Secret Master, was Zhuge Xuanji, following closely behind the former.

And another came from the southwest, its aura eerie and unpredictable, carrying a sense of discomfort.

That was... people from the Six Desires Demonic Sect!

"The lead actors are almost all here."

A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Lu Ming's mouth.

However, getting these people to actually step onto the stage and disrupt the situation wouldn't be that simple.

Whether it was Yun Chenzi, Zhuge Xuanji, or the Six Desires Demonic Sect, they would surely choose to wait and see first, hiding in the shadows to observe the situation and find the most advantageous moment to strike and reap the rewards of others' labor.

This won't do!

A glint of dark light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

"Since you are unwilling to step onto the stage voluntarily, then this seat will give you a hand."

The frequency of his finger movements suddenly quickened.

This time, what he performed was not some earth-shattering Divine Ability, but an extremely obscure secret technique from the "Heavenly Mandate Compilation and Fortune Diagram Record."

[Grafting One Tree onto Another].

This technique could not attack directly, nor could it defend; its only function was to create tiny, imperceptible disturbances at specific nodes of Karma, thereby "guiding" events to develop in the direction the caster desired.

And at this moment, what Lu Ming wanted to disturb was the Karma node of the Li Family's "Canglan Sea-Overturning Formation."

No one understood this grand Formation better than he did.

Before his dharma body arrived here, Lu Ming's original body had already obtained all information regarding the Li Family from Li Daoxuan's complete memories.

This included the location of every Formation base, the path of every Formation line, and even the control incantations of this "Canglan Sea-Overturning Formation."

As the Old Ancestor of the Li Family, Li Daoxuan's control and understanding of this guardian Formation were second to none.

And now, this understanding had fallen completely into Lu Ming's hands.

In other words, this Formation held almost no secrets in Lu Ming's eyes.

At this moment, the Alliance's new round of offensive was in full swing.

Twelve Spirit Boats once again spat out destructive pillars of light, the Spells of hundreds of Cultivators poured down like a torrential rain again, and the three "Formation-Breaking Thunder Cannons" roared once more.

The earth-shaking war cries, the booming sounds of exploding Spells, and the dull thuds of the Formation's light barrier being struck interwove into a clamor sufficient to mask any subtle abnormalities.

Under the cover of this clamor, Lu Ming's strand of karmic dao rhyme silently merged into the energy flow of a certain Formation base in the southeast corner of the "Canglan Sea-Overturning Formation."

That Formation base happened to be one of the most critical nodes of the entire grand Formation, serving as both the center of energy convergence and the hub for the operation of the Formation lines.

In Li Daoxuan's memories, it had been mentioned more than once: if a problem occurred at this node, the stability of the entire grand Formation would drop by more than thirty percent.

The corners of Lu Ming's mouth curled up slightly.

He "gently" plucked that strand of Karma.

In an instant.

The "Canglan Sea-Overturning Formation's" azure light barrier, which had been dim but still flowing steadily, suddenly stalled!

As if a perfectly running machine had suddenly caught a gear, all the runes flickering on the surface of the light barrier paused simultaneously for a moment!

The light that had protected the Li Family for seventeen days experienced a strange "stiffness" at this moment!

Immediately following that.

"Crack—"

A slight yet piercing sound of cracking, like a whisper of death, emanated from deep within the Formation base, instantly spreading across the entire battlefield!

Everyone clearly saw that on the azure light barrier, starting from the southeast corner, a fine crack rapidly spread, diffused, and split like a spiderweb! The cracks grew more numerous, denser, and deeper!

"The... the Formation is about to break!!"

Someone was the first to let out a sharp cry of alarm, instantly igniting everyone's emotions!

The Cultivators of the Alliance were first stunned, then erupted into a deafening roar of ecstasy!

"It's broken! It's really about to break!"

"Our attacks worked!"

"The Li Family is finished! Charge!!"

The last traces of caution and hesitation remaining in their eyes were instantly swept away by immense greed and ecstasy!

The resources consumed, the lives sacrificed, and the suppressed emotions over the past few days were all transformed into a frenzied offensive drive at this moment!

The Spirit Boats' attacks were no longer held back, with all cannons charged to their limits!

The Cultivators no longer spared their mana for Spells, pouring them out one after another as if their lives depended on it!

Talismans, Magical Artifacts, secret techniques...

Every available means was smashed against the already crumbling light barrier!

Under the pincer attack from both inside and out, the light barrier, which already had massive cracks due to Lu Ming's secret disturbance, finally became overwhelmed.

"Boom!!!"

An earth-shaking explosion!

The "Canglan Sea-Overturning Formation," which had protected the Li Family for seventeen days and nights and withstood countless attacks, finally shattered completely!

The azure light, like shattered glass, turned into countless spots of light that splashed in all directions before quickly annihilating in the Void Realm.

The Li Family's ancestral land, having lost the protection of the grand Formation, was fully exposed for the first time to all the greedy eyes.

Pavilions stood in clusters, halls were majestic, spiritual light circulated, and the fragrance of medicinal herbs filled the air.

That was the foundation of a thousand-year-old Family, the wealth and Opportunity that countless people dreamed of!
