191: Chapter 221 Dragon Ball

They waited here for a full three days.

Three days later, they rode the griffins back to the sky island, which was now completely deserted.

Everyone knew the Formation here couldn't be broken, so staying any longer would just be a waste of time.

Jiang Ling had Li Yifeng and the others move further away while he prepared to break the Formation.

He first walked slowly around the grand Formation, carefully observing every detail.

Earlier, with people around, it wasn't convenient for him to investigate closely, but now that everyone was gone, he didn't need to hold back.

The edges of the grand Formation flickered with a faint light, which seemed to hide a dangerous aura.

Mysterious energy flowed through the patterns of the Formation, as if proclaiming its power and inviolability.

Jiang Ling stopped, closed his eyes, and quietly sensed the energy fluctuations emanating from the Formation. He tried to understand its operating principles and weaknesses this way.

Gradually, he seemed to enter a mysterious Realm. Everything around him became blurred, and only the energy fluctuations of the Formation remained clear in his mind.

He felt the Formation's energy surging like a tide, sometimes intense and sometimes weak. He carefully analyzed the patterns of these fluctuations, searching for a flaw.

After a period of observation and reflection, Jiang Ling gradually gained some clues.

He opened his eyes and examined the Formation once more.

He decided to try breaking through from the edge of the Formation. He cautiously approached the edge and reached out a hand, lightly touching the light of the Formation.

The moment his hand touched the light, a powerful force rebounded, nearly knocking him back.

Jiang Ling steadied himself, inwardly surprised. He hadn't expected the Formation's rebound force to be so strong. However, he did not back down; instead, his determination to break the Formation grew stronger.

He adjusted his state and approached the edge of the Formation again.

This time, he didn't touch the light directly with his hand. Instead, he released his own energy, attempting to counter the Formation's energy.

His energy was like a small stream, slowly flowing into the light of the grand Formation.

The moment his energy made contact with the Formation's energy, a powerful resistance pushed back. The Formation's energy seemed sentient, desperately resisting his intrusion.

Jiang Ling grit his teeth and continuously increased his energy output. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but his gaze remained steadfast.

As time passed, Jiang Ling's energy gradually gained the upper hand.

The light of the Formation began to dim, and the powerful resistance gradually weakened. Jiang Ling felt a surge of joy; he knew he had found the way to break the Formation.

He continued to increase his energy output while simultaneously searching for the Formation's weakness.

His energy explored within the Formation like a nimble snake searching for its prey.

Finally, he discovered a faint energy fluctuation in a corner of the Formation.

Jiang Ling immediately concentrated his energy on that corner and attacked it with all his might. His energy was like a sharp sword, piercing ruthlessly into the Formation's weakness.

The grand Formation shook violently, its light flickering erratically.

But the Formation wasn't so easily breached.

It quickly redistributed its energy, strengthening the defense at the weak point. Jiang Ling's attack was blocked, and he was forced back several steps by the counter-shock.

Jiang Ling was not discouraged. He adjusted his state again, preparing for a new round of attacks. He knew that breaking a Formation required patience and perseverance; it couldn't be rushed.

He regathered his energy and thought of a new strategy. He decided to use a flanking tactic, attacking other parts of the Formation first to distract it before seizing the opportunity to strike the weak point.

Jiang Ling began to move rapidly around the Formation, continuously releasing energy attacks on different sections.

The light of the Formation flickered under his assault, as if struggling to resist his attacks.

Under Jiang Ling's relentless assault, the Formation's energy gradually dispersed. It began to grow chaotic, unable to effectively defend all areas.

Jiang Ling seized the chance and concentrated his energy on the Formation's weak point once more.

This time, his attack was even more fierce. His energy was like a surging flood, crashing violently against the Formation's weakness.

The Formation seemed to let out a groan of pain as its light grew dimmer and dimmer.

Finally, under Jiang Ling's sustained attack, the weak point was breached. A massive crack appeared on the Formation, and its energy instantly collapsed.

The Formation was broken!

Li Yifeng, Lin Yu, Alicia, and Medusa were all overjoyed. They hadn't expected that Jiang Ling would actually be able to break this Formation.

Jiang Ling truly was a genius!

Li Yifeng quickly scanned the inside of the Formation and found that there weren't many things within. There were only a few bright pearls placed on a white jade pedestal.

"This... these are Dragon Pearls!"

Li Yifeng cried out in surprise.

There were five Dragon Pearls in total, each the size of a child's fist, emitting a soft, lustrous glow.

Inside the Dragon Pearls, one could faintly see dragon souls wandering about!

"We've hit the jackpot this time!"

Li Yifeng looked delighted. "These Dragon Pearls are the essence of the Dragon Clan. Placed here, they were likely meant to absorb the essence of heaven and earth to nourish themselves."

"For some reason, this place was destroyed, and they didn't have time to take these Dragon Pearls with them!"

"The power within these Dragon Pearls is limitless!"

...

"Seniors, how do you think we should divide these Dragon Pearls?" Jiang Ling asked.

Jiang Ling asked at this time.

"You broke the Formation, so you deserve the most credit. Lin Yu and I shouldn't be greedy, but Dragon Pearls are truly too important to us. So, we'll each take one, and you take the remaining three!"

"How does that sound?"

Li Yifeng said, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"That works!"

Jiang Ling nodded. "If not for you two Seniors helping as Protectors, I wouldn't have dared to open this Formation so easily!"

Following the principle of sharing the spoils, since Jiang Ling had invited Li Yifeng and Lin Yu to help open the Formation, it was only natural to give them a share.

"Alright, let's divide the pearls quickly. Other powerful experts might be drawn here in a moment."

As Li Yifeng spoke, he stepped forward and took a Dragon Pearl for himself.

Lin Yu also took one.

Jiang Ling took the remaining three Dragon Pearls and gave one to Medusa and one to Alicia.

The griffin, however, got nothing.

"I'll compensate you when we get back!"

Jiang Ling said to the griffin.

The griffin let out a couple of cries, sounding a bit aggrieved, but it could only accept it.

As a mount, its status was naturally lower.

Medusa and Alicia were both overjoyed to receive the Dragon Pearls.

Alicia, in particular, was very moved.

She hadn't expected Jiang Ling to give her one.

She was merely a servant bound by a contract.

Logically speaking, she shouldn't have had a share!

However, Jiang Ling was not stingy at all.

This made her feel that being a servant might not be so bad after all.

Her strength might even increase faster this way!
