141: The true power of the Ten-Sided Ambush Formation

Inside the Nine Nether Fierce Land!

Half a day had already passed, yet the Evil Beasts still hadn't crossed the Red Spider Lily's encirclement, which allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Chen Fei, are we going to just wait like this, or should we continue deeper?"

Ximen Lingyun's words made it a bit difficult for Chen Fei to answer.

However, he didn't plan on hiding anything: "The Evil Beasts just haven't found a way to break the Red Spider Lily yet.

But I don't think they truly can't get across.

Don't underestimate the Evil Beasts; their intelligence is higher than you'd imagine.

Continuing deeper is inevitable!

It's just that..."

Everyone gestured for Chen Fei to continue; no matter how bad the situation was, it couldn't be much worse than this.

"Fine, then I'll be blunt!"

"The outer and middle regions have relatively safe routes.

But for the inner region, I'm not very confident; that route is not something I can completely control."

Everyone fell silent!

Indeed!

The middle region was already this terrifying, so it was hard to imagine what the inner region would be like.

After a while, Ximen Lingyun continued to ask, "Regardless of what the inner region is like, it's a part we must face.

Chen Fei, just tell us what you know so we can have some idea of what to expect."

Everyone nodded in unison; no matter how terrifying it was, it was better than knowing nothing.

Chen Fei nodded in agreement and spoke directly: "Compared to the middle region, the inner region has no absolutely safe path.

The inside is in an environment of 'Intertwining Chaos of Void and Reality'."

Everyone was confused: "What does that mean?"

Chen Fei's eyes darted around, and then he had Little Gu condense a crystal.

"Look at the crystal in my hand; it is a physical object.

But in the inner region, it could turn into nothingness at any time, or it could turn back into a physical entity.

In other words, if we encounter some behemoth inside, it might be illusory.

But it could also become a real existence at any moment."

Everyone roughly understood Chen Fei's meaning.

It was equivalent to saying that within that space, two rules existed: 'Materialization' and 'Voidification'.

Moreover, these two rules alternated with each other.

If that were truly the case, then some great horror could indeed appear at any time.

"I always thought the Skeleton Monsters outside were what made it a Fierce Land.

Now I realize those skeletons are just small fry, merely delivering experience points."

"Materialization and Voidification—such powerful forces. If one could master them, they wouldn't be weaker than the Space System to some extent."

That was indeed true!

The Space System could trap living beings and completely crush them.

If one mastered Voidification and turned a Spatial Barrier into a void, they could achieve the goal of escaping.

It was indeed a very powerful ability!

Unfortunately, it was just wishful thinking.

No Yao Beast with such an attribute had ever appeared on the Spirit Taming Continent.

"Everyone, take another rest. Once the Evil Beasts find a way to break through the Red Spider Lily, we will set off immediately!"

"Alright!"

"Got it!"

"..."

Chen Fei took this time to continue monitoring the images sent by the Third Generation Gu Worms, and then timely reminded the Third-Generation Bugs to slay the Evil Beasts and Skeleton Monsters.

If killing one Evil Beast yielded an average of 200 slaughter value.

500,000 would require 2,500 beasts.

That wasn't many, but it wasn't a small amount either!

Up until now, he had just saved up a million.

Two paths lay before Chen Fei:

First, upgrade Wu Yun's tribulation lightning to Flawless Grade.

Second, increase his own strength.

Flawless Grade tribulation lightning would certainly have even greater lethality. Furthermore, he could control the final bolt of tribulation lightning.

Chen Fei had been thinking about that bizarre tribulation lightning that could penetrate barriers and shields for a long time.

The problem was that Flawless Grade tribulation lightning, just like Chi Yu's Tiger Subduing Soul Suppressing Domain, would ultimately be constrained by his strength.

It could only be invincible at a certain level of strength and could not maximize its potential.

Ultimately, Chen Fei chose the second path.

He took out 500,000 slaughter value and poured it into his own body.

Only by reaching the Grandmaster Level himself could the Three Beasts then upgrade to Fourth-Level Beasts.

[Cultivation increased: from Advanced Rank 9 Beast Tamer → Grandmaster Level Rank 1 Beast Tamer.

Comparative advantages:

1. A new beast pet slot has been unlocked.

2. Physical resistance, speed, strength, and Spiritual Qi absorption speed have been significantly increased.

Note: Each Rank increase for a Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer requires 500,000 slaughter value.

Grandmaster Level Rank 9 Beast Tamer → King Level Rank 1 Beast Tamer requires 5,000,000 slaughter value.]

As his strength increased, Chen Fei felt the Spiritual Qi within his body become dozens of times more abundant.

If he used the Ten Directions Ambush Great Array now, he would definitely not be drained dry.

Thinking of this, Chen Fei prioritized increasing the proficiency of this Formation.

After all, upgrading to the proficient level didn't require much slaughter value.

[Proficiency increased: from Entry-Level Formation → proficient level Formation.

Advantage upgrades:

1. From 6 attack positions → 36 Tiangang positions.

2. The attack power of any position will be increased by 2 times.

3. The enclosed space gradually increases, allowing for the brief Seal of living beings with physical bodies.

Non-physical attributes such as Ghost System, Soul, Mental Energy, and elements cannot be sealed yet.

Note: With the current Formation proficiency combined with the skills of Fourth-Level Beasts, it can cause sufficient lethality to Rank 8 Fourth-Level beings.]

As Chen Fei read through them one by one, his eyes brightened even more.

If he placed Wu Yun's tribulation lightning into the Formation's positions, the lethality would increase by 2 times during a real attack.

That was 2 times; the effect was only stronger, not weaker, than Yin-Yang Amplification.

The subsequent ability to Seal physical entities also surprised Chen Fei.

Chen Fei had coveted the Heaven-Sealing Qilin's ability for a long time; he hadn't expected to finally find it in the Ten Directions Ambush Great Array.

This was only the proficient level; what kind of exaggerated sight would it be when it reached the Flawless Grade?

So this was the true power of a Rank 9 Great Array.

The more it reached the Late Stage, the more invincible it became!

Since it had such lethality, Chen Fei had to consider giving the Evil Beasts a big surprise... but before that, Chen Fei set aside the other 500,000 for Chi Yu.

Currently, only Chi Yu possessed a Flawless Grade skill; as Chi Yu's strength increased, the lethality would certainly become even more terrifying.

[Strength increased: Rank 9 Third-Level Yao Beast → Rank 1 Fourth-Level Yao Beast.

Upgrade advantages:

1. The Soul Stripping Racial Secret Technique has been further improved; control time increased from 2s → 3s.

The number of uses per day has increased from 12 to 15.

Backlash received is reduced by 30%.

2. The Three Tails can form a massive Spiritual Qi reservoir, eight times larger than before.

3. Within the Tiger Subduing Soul Suppressing Domain, the power of the Soul Mountain has increased from 22 times pressure to 30 times.

The strength level it can target has increased from Rank 6 Fourth-Level to Rank 7 Fourth-Level.

The Domain has expanded from a diameter of 2000 meters to a diameter of 3000 meters...]

Chi Yu's strength had further increased.

Now, once the Domain was opened, combined with the Ten Directions Ambush Great Array, it could completely threaten Rank 8 Fourth-Level Evil Beasts.

Right at this moment, the Evil Beast army launched another assault against the Red Spider Lily..."
