84: A realm of emerald waters, shrouded in ethereal ambush.

The "Azure Sea Misty Formation" is a renowned trapping and killing Formation of the Misty Immortal Palace, utilizing the power of the heaven and earth water spirits, making it unpredictable.

At this moment, the Formation was complete, and the azure light shield, like a giant glazed bowl, was inverted over the boundless sea surface, firmly trapping the starship within.

On the light shield, water waves flowed and runes flickered, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

Six giant water tornadoes connected the sky and the earth, rotating slowly, stirring the entire sea area into turbulent waves.

At the top of each water tornado stood a Misty Immortal Palace Cultivator, with a cultivation level of at least Early-stage Gang Qi Realm, and the leader, Elder Mu, was an even stronger expert at the Minor Accomplishment of Spirit Sea Realm!

The blue precious mirror in her hand was called the "vast sea mirror", which was the core Magic Treasure for controlling this Formation; wherever the mirror light swept, the power of the Formation increased.

"Junior Lin Yang, there is no need for futile resistance."

Elder Mu's voice was cold, carrying a condescending tone, "This Formation is a secret transmission of my Immortal Palace, borrowing the endless water spirit power of this Azure Water Realm; let alone your mere Gang Qi Realm, even a Major Achievement of Spirit Sea Realm would find it impossible to escape easily if trapped within."

"If you are wise, hand over the chaos star core and the starship, and this Elder might, out of consideration for the Star Moon Sect, only cripple your cultivation and spare your life."

Although she said this, the killing intent deep in her eyes had not diminished in the slightest.

The order from the high-level officials of the Immortal Palace was to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, and seize the treasures!

Inside the starship, Lin Yang's expression was cold, and he was not moved by the other party's words.

He quickly issued instructions: "Wanqing, Senior Sister Qingyue, your True Qi attributes may resonate with the water spirit Qi here, try to sense the energy circulation nodes of the Formation!"

"Yunxi, Yuning, prepare your sword techniques, listen to my command, and attack the positions I designate!"

"Yes!" The Four Women responded in unison and immediately took action.

Bai Wanqing closed her eyes and focused, the blue light of the ice soul pearl flickering as she carefully sensed the vast water-type energy outside.

Su Qingyue operated the Star Moon Vein Nurturing Art, trying to find the weak points where the Formation connected with the heaven and earth water spirits.

The Chu Sisters drew their long swords, Sword Qi flickering, ready to strike.

Lin Yang himself fully activated the chaos star core, star light flowing in his eyes, carefully analyzing the composition of the "Azure Sea Misty Formation".

This Formation was indeed exquisite, faintly connected to the Origin of the entire Azure Water Realm, endless and unceasing.

Charging in by force was definitely not the best strategy.

"Found it!" Almost simultaneously, Bai Wanqing and Su Qingyue opened their beautiful eyes and pointed to several positions of the Formation on the light screen, "There, and there!"

"The energy circulation is slightly stagnant, it should be due to the hasty setup of the Formation!"

"Good!" A flash of light appeared in Lin Yang's eyes, "starship secondary guns, concentrate fire, attack the base of the third water tornado on the left flank!"

"Yunxi, Yuning, Sword Qi attack the connection point of the runes on the light shield directly in front!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The starship's secondary guns instantly spat out scorching energy beams, fiercely bombarding the designated water tornado.

The Chu Sisters gave a delicate shout, and two sharp, unparalleled Sword Qi merged into one, like a comet striking the moon, precisely slashing at a point of the light shield's runes!

Crack!

Suffering a sudden concentrated attack, that water tornado shook violently, its base exploding with sky-filling water splashes, and the Immortal Palace Disciple at the top groaned, nearly unable to stand steady.

And at the spot on the light shield hit by the Sword Qi, the runes flashed chaotically, obviously dimming by a fraction!

"Hmph! Stubborn! Change Formation!" Elder Mu's face sank, and the light of the vast sea mirror in her hand flourished.

Immediately, the entire Formation accelerated!

The water flow on the light shield rotated rapidly, creating a huge tearing force, attempting to twist and deflect the starship's attack.

Those six water tornadoes roared and moved, like six giant water dragons, crashing crazily toward the starship from different directions!

Rumble!

The starship vibrated violently, and the energy shield flashed with wild ripples.

Although it was safe for the moment, the energy consumption increased sharply.

"It's no good, the Formation is changing too fast, the nodes are moving all the time!" Su Qingyue said urgently.

"Then force it to stop changing!" Lin Yang's eyes turned sharp, knowing he could not remain in passive defense, "You guard the starship, I will go out to break the Formation!"

"Be careful!" The Four Women said with concern.

The cabin door opened, and Lin Yang stepped out, standing in the air above the starship.

Gray-gold Chaos Gang Qi erupted from his body, forcibly pushing away the tearing force of the Formation and the pressure of the water tornadoes.

"Protective Aura Transformation · Chaos Opening Heaven!"

He pushed his palms forward violently!

The majestic Chaos Gang Qi surged out, not turning into a specific form, but forming a twisted, chaotic, gray-gold energy torrent that seemed capable of annihilating everything, crashing fiercely into the two water tornadoes rushing from the front!

Chi chi chi—!

There was no violent explosion; those two water tornadoes, entirely composed of highly compressed water spirit power, crashed into the Chaos Gang Qi and were like ice and snow meeting a scorching sun, their front ends rapidly decomposed, devoured, and dissolved!

The two Immortal Palace Disciples at the top were horrified, crazily urging their True Qi to stabilize the water tornado, but they were still forced to retreat step by step!

The characteristic of Chaos Gang Qi to devour all things was fully displayed at this moment!

Especially since the opponent's energy was pure water-type, it was perfectly countered by the Chaos attribute!

"How is this possible?! His Protective Aura is strange!" Elder Mu's pupils shrank, and she finally sensed that something was wrong.

The quality and characteristics of the opponent's Protective Aura far exceeded her expectations!

"Vast Sea Immeasurable, Suppress!" She dared not be arrogant anymore and fully activated the vast sea mirror.

The mirror surface sprayed out vast blue light, merging into the Formation.

Immediately, the entire light shield contracted inward, and the pressure increased sharply!

At the same time, the other four water tornadoes abandoned their attack on the starship and surrounded Lin Yang from all directions, strangling him!

Lin Yang felt a sudden increase in pressure, and the Chaos Gang Qi around his body creaked under the compression.

Although he could devour water-type energy, the opponent had almost infinite energy by relying on the Formation and Realm advantage, so fighting consumption head-on was definitely not a good strategy.

While operating the Chaos Swallowing Heaven Art to crazily devour the surrounding water spirit power, he cast his gaze toward the deep ocean below.

The Origin of the Azure Water Realm was right below!

As long as he devoured the Origin of the Realm, the power of the chaos star core would greatly increase, and breaking this Formation would be as easy as turning over his hand!

But the opponent clearly anticipated this, and the main power of the Formation was concentrated on sealing the deep sea area.

Just as the battle situation fell into a brief stalemate, a slightly anxious and dissatisfied clear female voice suddenly came from outside the Formation:

"Mother! Stop! How can you all gang up on one person like this? This is not something the Righteous Path should do!"

A blue silhouette flew in rapidly from a distance, attempting to rush into the Formation, but was blocked by the Formation's light shield.

The person who arrived was a young girl of about sixteen or seventeen, wearing the True Disciple uniform of the Misty Immortal Palace, her appearance was six or seven parts similar to Elder Mu, but she looked more youthful and beautiful, with a hint of naivety and stubbornness between her brows.

It was none other than Elder Mu's daughter — Mu Yao!

Seeing her daughter, Elder Mu frowned and said sternly: "Yao'er! Who let you come here? Retreat quickly! It's dangerous here!"

"I won't!" Mu Yao shook her head stubbornly, looking at Lin Yang, who was resisting the six water tornadoes and the pressure of the Formation alone in the Formation, her beautiful eyes shimmering with strange colors, and there was even a hint of admiration, "He is clearly only in the Gang Qi Realm, yet he can block the Formation of you and the others, how impressive! Why must we be enemies with him? Robbing others of their things is wrong in the first place!"

"Presumptuous! What do you know!" Elder Mu was so angry that her face turned blue, "This is the order of the Palace Master! This child possesses a rare treasure, which concerns the future of the Immortal Palace! If you talk nonsense again, don't blame your mother for enforcing the Palace rules!"

Mu Yao seemed not to have heard her mother's threat, her gaze completely attracted by Lin Yang's figure.

She saw that under the heavy siege, Lin Yang's movements were like lightning, his gray-gold Protective Aura was overwhelming, and every move carried a domineering and mysterious meaning, faintly resonating with the water-type Law of the entire Azure Water Realm, continuously devouring water spirit power to strengthen himself.

"He... he seems to be able to absorb the power here?" A thicker look of curiosity appeared in Mu Yao's eyes.

Just at this moment, an Immortal Palace Disciple, taking advantage of Lin Yang dealing with the water tornadoes, secretly activated an extremely cold and hidden water arrow, silently shooting toward Lin Yang's vital heart!

This strike was extremely vicious, and the power it contained had almost reached the Peak of the Gang Qi Realm!

Mu Yao happened to see this scene, and her face changed instantly, almost without thinking, she exclaimed subconsciously: "Watch out behind you!"

At the same time, her fingers hidden in her sleeves secretly pinched a technique.

That cold water arrow that was originally shooting at Lin Yang's heart, just before it was about to hit, its trajectory shifted upward by an inch in an extremely imperceptible way!

Pfft!

The water arrow grazed Lin Yang's shoulder, bringing up a wisp of blood, but did not cause a serious injury.

Lin Yang turned his head sharply, his cold gaze swept across the Disciple who launched the sneak attack, and then glanced thoughtfully at Mu Yao, who had an anxious face outside the Formation.

And with Elder Mu's eyesight, she naturally saw her daughter's little move and that reminder clearly!

Her face instantly turned iron-blue, and anger burned in her eyes:

"Mu! Yao!"

Her mother's angry shout exploded like thunder in her ears, and Mu Yao was so startled that she realized what she had done, and her face turned pale.

The battle situation, due to this sudden variable, appeared to freeze for a moment.

Blood oozed from Lin Yang's shoulder, but he seemed not to feel it at all; the gaze he looked at Mu Yao with had a little less coldness and a little more inquiry.

This young girl from the Misty Immortal Palace seemed... quite interesting.
