338: Plan to launch

Inside the Golden Light Formation, a Yao Race expert who had cultivated from a wild boar was the guardian. He was particularly irritable today, remaining in a state of agitation almost every moment.

Any minor Yao who approached or disturbed his rest was either beaten half to death or swallowed in one gulp, eventually leaving all his subordinates afraid to get anywhere near him.

Half a day ago, he had received a message from the Yao King, ordering him to urgently retreat ten miles and not to stay so close to the city.

He was disdainful, scoffing at the Yao King's order.

"The ancient Ten Absolute Formation—how could it be destroyed by the means of some heretics? He underestimates us too much!"

After the wild boar demon chased away the bat-rat that delivered the order, he sat on his prayer mat with a cold sneer, feeling even more contempt for the Yao King. He thought to himself, "With this kind of courage, what ability does he have to be our king? Hmph... sooner or later, he'll be overthrown..."

However, after he chased away the bat-rat, his mood began to change, becoming restless and agitated.

Suddenly, just as he gulped down a jar of white liquor, he felt something. The moment he looked up, he saw an anomaly in the direction of the Wind Roar Formation. A strange object in the sky seemed to have dropped something that looked extremely like Daoist lightning techniques, but was completely different...

"This purple lightning... is it... is it a Lightning Tribulation?"

The wild boar demon stood up and said in a deep voice, "Hu Sanniang is in trouble..."

Boom!

A massive mushroom cloud suddenly rose. The terrifying shockwave tore the entire Wind Roar Formation apart, and then purple light began to spread in all directions. The terrifying force shook the entire Golden Light Formation, making it teeter on the verge of collapse.

The wild boar demon was shocked. He hurriedly channeled his magic power, formed hand seals, and mobilized all twelve golden mirrors to defend against this energy.

Boom! Crack! Clatter...

Nine of the twelve mirrors shattered, and the Golden Light Formation teetered on the brink of collapse. The wild boar demon suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee, nearly reverting to his original form.

"...N-no... but... at least... at least it's... Pfft!"

Spitting out another mouthful of blood, the purple light before his eyes finally disappeared completely. The wild boar demon finally breathed a sigh of relief. "At least... at least... it was blocked!"

However, nine of the twelve mirrors were already shattered, and it was no longer a Formation.

After saying this, he finally passed out.

Just like that, in this beam of light that resembled a lightning technique, two of the Ten Absolute Formations vanished instantly!

...

"Thank goodness..."

The Yao King stood on a cliff several miles away, where his main forces were concentrated. Watching the scene before him, he finally realized that what the tree demon had said earlier was indeed the truth!

"Don't thank the heavens, you should thank us instead!"

Xiao Cui stood behind the Yao King and said indignantly.

"Heh heh, yes, yes, yes. Miss Xiao Cui is sharp-witted and is our great benefactor!" The Yao King laughed heartily. "I finally listened to you and retreated a dozen miles. Otherwise, given our position, we would have been caught in the blast as well..."

Xiao Cui suddenly frowned: "Thanks are due, yes, but... by retreating just like that, isn't it a bit... unkind to those Yao Race members guarding the Formations?"

The Yao King suddenly tilted his head back and snorted coldly: "Hmph, this is their own doing. They treated the Formation diagrams I gave them as omnipotent. Heh, do they really think those things from the ancient Cultivators are invincible? I ordered them to retreat, but they wouldn't listen... So, it's time to teach them a lesson!"

Heishan, standing to the side, nodded incessantly: "Th-that's... the King... g-gave... gave them... a warning! They... they didn't... didn't at all..."

"Show any gratitude!"

Xiao Cui pouted, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak. It's exhausting to listen to!"

The Yao King smiled and patted Heishan's shoulder, laughing, "Although Brother Heishan stutters, what he says makes sense. A bunch of ungrateful things, if they die, they deserve it!"

Heishan nodded hurriedly, which made Xiao Cui so angry that she kept kicking his butt.

Watching this scene between the two, the Yao King's doubts vanished completely, and his suspicions about them were entirely dispelled.

"However, this weapon is indeed somewhat..." The Yao King looked at the two destroyed Formations, still feeling a lingering fear.

"Terrifying!"

Xiao Cui said in a deep voice, "What on earth... is this weapon?"

The Yao King looked up at the spaceship in the sky and said seriously, "That is... a Saint!"

Xiao Cui, Heishan, and all the subordinates looked shocked at the muttering Yao King; that kind of horror could not possibly be faked.

"...But why would a Saint intervene in the conflicts of the Human Realm? It is said that 'Saints are heartless, treating the common people as straw dogs.' In the eyes of a Saint, aren't all living beings equal?"

A sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked demon asked from the side.

"Heh, it's not a real Saint!" The Yao King sneered. "This must be a weapon created by a Saint. Just because it possesses some of a Saint's methods, they think they can control everything? Heh, how ridiculous... This kind of power must require a long time to charge, otherwise, if it could fire continuously, we would have already been turned into dust... Rest assured, by the time it charges for the next attack, I will likely be able to deduce its interval. That will be our best opportunity to attack and destroy that weapon first!"

On the massive object in the sky, a voice was laughing wildly: "Hahaha... hahahaha... This feels so good! This is the weapon System in my hands, this is the power the Saint gave me! Hahaha, I am finally... finally a complete Magical Artifact... hahahaha..."

"Shut up!"

Nezha stood on Zun Zun's command platform and said coldly, "Don't get too smug. Follow the plan, otherwise I will make you self-destruct... You should know what my orders can do!"

"I know, of course I know! Don't worry, don't worry, I won't violate the orders of a Yuxu disciple!"

Zun Zun transformed back into that old grandfather appearance, 90% similar to Primal Celestial Lord, except Primal Celestial Lord's beard and hair were white, while its were now black. This was changed at Nezha's request; otherwise, it was just too off-putting to look at.

At the corner of the city wall, Tang Ku and Yang Jian were squatting there, each holding a watermelon, eating happily.

"Holy Monk, will this really work?"

Yang Jian spat out seeds, looked at the scene in front, wiped his mouth and said, "Although these guys aren't united, once they are under a huge threat, they might really get desperate!"

"Don't worry, they won't be able to jump over any walls!"

Tang Ku smiled, "If we don't use this method, how can we find the Bull Demon King and his wife? If we can't save them, we won't be able to let loose and fight! Hmm... look, those guys have already gone to hold them accountable..."

Yang Jian looked up and discovered countless Yao Race members flying out from the remaining eight Formations, heading towards the direction of the Yao King. Judging by their aura, they seemed extremely violent!
