469: Black Mountain, Seventh Rank Formation
One incense stick later.
Xie Weilou arrived at a canyon, with numerous bare, desolate hills on both sides.
Within the canyon, some withered ancient trees could vaguely be seen, all devoid of life. Green vegetation was almost impossible to find. This area had also been baptized by thunder, carrying a rich lightning attribute power.
Ten thousand meters ahead, there was a black mountain a thousand meters high, which also looked like a great desolate mountain. However, this mountain was sealed by a large formation, so it was not simple.
Below the black mountain, Li Guanxuan, Li Zheng, Mo Mountain Master, and others gathered here. Demon Dao Kong and other demon races were also present. From their appearance, they clearly intended to attack this mountain.
“......”
Xie Weilou flew forward.
“Brother Xie!”
When Li Xuankong saw Xie Weilou, he immediately greeted him.
The gazes of Li Guanxuan and others also fell on Xie Weilou.
“......”
Xie Weilou nodded lightly.
He took a rough look. Among the younger generation of Eastern Zhou, only Li Xuankong was here.
Li Zheng transmitted a message to Xie Weilou: “According to Li Guoshi, there was once a powerful expert named Eight Desolations King in these Bahuan Remains. This mountain in front of us should be his palace.”
Clearly, Li Guanxuan knew more about this place, but she did not reveal too much information.
If there was anything good in these Bahuan Remains, it should be here.
Xie Weilou understood in his heart. He looked at Li Guanxuan and smiled faintly: “Li Guoshi said before that there was an ancient dragon corpse here, but I haven't seen any dragon corpse along the way…”
Although the mountain in front of him was covered by a large formation, he could still see through it somewhat. There was no ancient dragon corpse on it.
The eyes of the others also fell on Li Guanxuan. An ancient dragon corpse would bring greater fortune, but when they rushed here, they also did not see any dragon corpse.
Li Guanxuan said: “The dragon corpse should not be here, but this mountain is covered by a large formation, so there must be great opportunities on it.”
“......”
Xie Weilou did not ask any more questions.
He looked at the mountain ahead. This mountain was covered by a seventh-grade defensive formation. To go up the mountain, one could only break the formation.
Li Guanxuan’s gaze fell on Mo Mountain Master: “Mo Mountain Master, are you confident?”
The three people she invited this time were naturally extraordinary and would be of great help in exploring this ruin.
Mo Mountain Master pondered: “Breaking this defensive formation is not a problem, but I am worried that there are even more powerful formations on this mountain…”
She had obtained a lot of information about Eight Desolations King from Li Guanxuan.
According to her, this Eight Desolations King seemed to be a seventh-grade advanced formation master.
The path of formations also has a hierarchy, like the path of alchemy, divided into grades one to nine.
However, it is further divided into four sub-grades: low, medium, high, and peak.
The current large formation was originally also a seventh-grade advanced defensive formation, but it had been eroded by time, and its power was less than one-tenth of what it once was, so she could break it.
If more powerful seventh-grade formations appeared later, she estimated she would be unable to, as she was only a seventh-grade low-level formation master.
Li Guanxuan said: “It’s fine! First, break this large formation. We’ll talk about what comes next later.”
“Alright! You all step back.”
Mo Mountain Master extended her hand and conjured a black formation plate.
“......”
Everyone retreated a hundred meters.
Mo Mountain Master formed hand seals and injected power into the formation plate.
Buzz!
The formation plate vibrated continuously, and a bloody light appeared, instantly forming a seventh-grade offensive formation. This was clearly an attempt to break a formation with another formation.
“A seventh-grade formation master!”
Xie Weilou stared at Mo Mountain Master.
Li Zheng said: “The northern lands have many forces and are truly full of hidden talents. Mo Mountain Master comes from the Northern Formation Mountain, and her formation skills are extraordinary. It is said that there is an even more powerful formation master in the Northern Formation Mountain.”
“Northern Formation Mountain?”
Xie Weilou showed a thoughtful expression. The northern lands were so extraordinary; he would have to go and see them someday.
“......”
Li Zheng seemed to know what Xie Weilou was thinking and couldn't help but smile wryly.
The northern lands were not as special as Xie Weilou imagined.
They were more barren and desolate, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was not dense. Moreover, there were often battles, making it extremely chaotic. Otherwise, the demon race and devil race would not have chosen to move south.
Buzz!
Mo Mountain Master formed hand seals, and the offensive formation activated. Dozens of powerful bloody light beams erupted, fiercely bombarding the defensive formation on the mountain.
Boom!
A series of rumbling sounds echoed. The mountain remained motionless, but the defensive formation shook continuously, runes flickered, and subtle indentations appeared.
“......”
Mo Mountain Master continued to form hand seals. The formation plate soared into the sky, and the power of the offensive formation surged again. Hundreds of bloody light beams appeared simultaneously, eventually converging into an even larger light beam.
Bang!
This massive light beam struck the defensive formation, and the defensive formation was instantly blasted with a crack.
“It’s not enough…”
Mo Mountain Master took out another formation plate. The second offensive formation was activated. The two offensive formations merged, and two beams of bloody light converged, unleashing an even more terrifying attacking power.
Boom!
This time, the mountain's defensive formation was directly blasted open with a huge gap. Runes dimmed, light dissipated, and the defensive formation rapidly disintegrated.
“The methods of a seventh-grade formation master are indeed not simple. An ordinary seventh-grade formation master can already compare to an ordinary Divine Court Realm expert.”
Demon Dao Kong gazed at Mo Mountain Master.
The Northern Formation Mountain had stood in the northern lands for three thousand years, yet no one could shake it in the slightest, precisely because it had powerful formation masters.
Never offend a high-grade formation master, otherwise, if they are displeased, they might go to your territory and set up a killing formation, directly annihilating your clan.
Mo Mountain Master saw the defensive formation disintegrate. She quickly put away the two formation plates and said in a deep voice: “This formation has already disintegrated. We can go up the mountain now.”
“The demon race will lead the way.”
Li Guanxuan looked at Demon Dao Kong with an indifferent expression. Opening the entrance to the ruins and breaking the large formations here were all their tasks. They couldn't always let the demon race reap the benefits.
Demon Dao Kong was silent for a second, then nodded and said: “Alright!”
With that, he led the demon races and flew upwards.
Boom!
But just as they started ascending the mountain, an invisible force of gravity struck, and the bodies of the demon races were immediately pressed to the ground, unable to continue flying.
Moreover, the demonic energy within their bodies was completely suppressed; they couldn't even mobilize a trace of it.
“This is…”
Demon Dao Kong narrowed his eyes. This mountain also contained special rules that could suppress power, but this was not necessarily a bad thing for their demon race, because their physical bodies were strong.
“Go!”
Demon Dao Kong did not hesitate and continued to lead the demon races on foot upwards. They walked three hundred meters up without any special circumstances occurring.
Seeing this, Li Guanxuan pondered: “Prepare to ascend the mountain.”
Everyone started ascending the mountain.
The moment they stepped onto the mountain, a mysterious power struck, and the spiritual energy within everyone's bodies was suppressed. Only their physical strength could be used…
