471: The top of the mountain, the seventh-grade formation
“Mmm!”
Q Heng nodded lightly, carrying the coffin on his back as he walked forward.
“……”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Q Heng.
All those present were suppressed by the rules of this place, so they wanted to see what method this person would use to deal with the powerful female corpse ahead.
After Q Heng walked three steps, he set down the black coffin he was carrying. The coffin was heavy, and the ground shook the moment it landed.
“……”
Q Heng took out a talisman paper, placed it on the coffin lid, and the talisman paper instantly merged into the coffin lid.
Crack!
The coffin lid opened, revealing a woman dressed in a black long dress. The woman was covered in death qi, her lips were black, and she was very beautiful, also exuding the pressure of a Divine Court late-stage cultivator.
“Inside the coffin is actually a woman.”
“Judging by the aura she emits, she also seems to be a Divine Court late-stage cultivator.”
“……”
Several demon cultivators gazed at the woman in the coffin, their eyes showing surprise.
Mo Mountain Master said with a complex expression, “This is the previous Ghost King of the Ghost King Sect, Daoist Qu’s master, and also his wife…”
Q Heng and the previous Ghost King of the Ghost King Sect had a deeply unforgettable story.
Later, the Ghost King encountered a powerful enemy and was killed, her spirit dissipating. To preserve her body, Q Heng refined her into a Ghost Puppet, placed her in the Ghost King Coffin, and carried her with him, solely to find a method of revival.
Unfortunately, many people believed he would not succeed. If a person has already passed away, how can they be resurrected?
It was rumored that after some powerful cultivators passed away, their bodies remained incorruptible and could give birth to a Divine Spirit, achieving revival. However, those who revived were no longer their former selves, but an evil fiend!
This time, Q Heng came to the Bahuan Remains at Li Guanxuan’s invitation, precisely to find a way to revive the Ghost King.
Q Heng looked at the woman in the coffin, a gentle expression in his eyes. He bit his finger, and a drop of fresh blood dripped onto the woman’s glabella: “A’Rou, I have to trouble you again.”
“……”
The fresh blood merged into the woman’s glabella, and a wisp of vitality appeared on her. She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze hollow, like a walking corpse, or more like a puppet.
The black-dressed woman stepped out of the coffin and looked at the female corpse in the coffin ahead, her death qi rapidly surging.
Q Heng looked at Li Guanxuan: “In A’Rou’s current state, it’s difficult to completely deal with this female corpse. A’Rou and I will hold her off for a moment, and you all can take the opportunity to go up.”
“Good!”
Li Guanxuan replied with one word.
Q Heng formed a hand seal, and the Ghost King transformed into a black light, instantly appearing before the female corpse. She threw a punch, the fist print fierce, carrying dense death qi.
The female corpse’s aura was extremely powerful, and she met the Ghost King’s punch.
Boom!
As the two fists collided, a roar sounded, and the rotten wood coffin behind the female corpse exploded, while the Ghost King was pushed back several meters.
“……”
The Ghost King’s figure moved, and she swung her fist again.
The female corpse launched attacks rapidly, her aura extremely fierce.
A puppet and a corpse, the two fought madly, leaving a path for everyone.
“Go!”
Upon seeing this, Li Guanxuan immediately rushed upwards.
“……”
Xie Weilou and the others did not hesitate, quickly following.
After half an incense stick’s time.
Everyone ascended three hundred meters directly, finally reaching the summit of the mountain. This time, they did not encounter any other killing intent, but the suppressive force here was clearly even more terrifying.
At the summit was a huge square, where nine reddish-yellow bronze pillars stood. The ground was fragmented, imbued with lightning-attribute power, and had also undergone a lightning baptism.
In the center of the square stood a broken black palace, which was sealed by a large formation. In front of the palace was a floating reddish-yellow stone tablet.
There were faint runes on the stone tablet, but they were obscured by the large formation, making it impossible to discern their content.
“Three Seventh-Grade High-level Grand Formations…”
Mo Mountain Master looked at the grand formation covering the black palace, her eyes narrowing, a bitter smile on her face.
Indeed, there were other formations here: killing formations, trapping formations, and defensive formations, combined into one, extremely complex.
If she encountered a Seventh-Grade Low-level formation, she could still break it, but now facing three Seventh-Grade High-level Grand Formations, she was utterly helpless.
Compared to the previous defensive grand formation, the power of these three Seventh-Grade High-level Grand Formations currently before them had not weakened much.
Li Guanxuan looked at Mo Mountain Master: “Can’t you do it?”
Mo Mountain Master sighed: “No! Three Seventh-Grade High-level Grand Formations—killing, trapping, and defensive—combined into one, their power hasn’t weakened much. It’s already beyond my scope of breaking.”
“……”
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but frown deeply.
The palace was right in front of them, surely hiding great opportunities, but now it was difficult to break the formations here, which was extremely frustrating.
Not long after.
Q Heng, carrying the black coffin on his back, arrived at the summit.
“……”
Li Guanxuan looked at Q Heng.
Q Heng said gravely, “That female corpse is very strong and couldn’t be dealt with, but she seems to only guard the 800-meter mark and didn’t follow us up.”
“Mo Mountain Master, since we’ve come all this way, why not give it a try? Otherwise, leaving like this would always be regrettable.”
Jiang Liuyu looked at Mo Mountain Master.
Mo Mountain Master softly said, “What you said makes sense. I haven’t broken a Seventh-Grade High-level Grand Formation before, so now is a good time to try my hand, but please don’t hold any expectations.”
“No problem! Give it a try.”
Li Guanxuan said calmly.
If the formations here couldn’t be broken, then they would have no choice but to leave and seek other opportunities within the Bahuan Remains.
“Good!”
Mo Mountain Master walked forward. She surveyed the layout before her, and after observing for a moment, she found the formation eye. The black palace was the formation eye.
However, trying to directly break the formation eye was clearly impossible. With three grand formations protecting it, it was difficult to get close to the formation eye at all.
“……”
Mo Mountain Master took out four formation plates from her sleeve, then took out four black stones imbued with power.
Buzz!
The four formation plates absorbed the power from the four black stones, instantly vibrating and floating up, and four Seventh-Grade Low-level Attack Grand Formations appeared.
Rumble!
The four grand formations merged into one, erupting with power to form a black light pillar, which violently slammed towards the palace.
Rumble!
Before the light pillar could even get close to the palace, it was blocked by the outer defensive grand formation. The defensive grand formation remained motionless; a Seventh-Grade Low-level Attack Formation simply could not harm a Seventh-Grade High-level Defensive Grand Formation.
“……”
Mo Mountain Master showed no surprise at this sight. She continued to take out more than a dozen stones.
The four formation plates were activated again, and more than a dozen light pillars of power erupted, simultaneously slamming towards the defensive grand formation.
However, there was no effect whatsoever. This defensive grand formation remained utterly motionless, impregnable.
Crack!
Just then, the four formation plates in front of Mo Mountain Master shattered, their light dissipating.
Mo Mountain Master frowned slightly, collected the shattered formation plates, and shook her head: “No way!”
“……”
Everyone sighed in their hearts. It seemed the fortune here was not destined for them.
Li Guanxuan was silent for a second, then decided to leave.
“Let me try.”
Just then, Xie Weilou spoke.
