446: Multitasking

However, this doesn't mean the "Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array" is ineffective.

The main purpose of the "Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array" is to serve as Fusion Materials, combining with the other three complementary Spirit Formations to create the "Four Symbols Spirit Extinguishing Wave."

That is a power capable of shaking a Saint, definitely stronger than the "Golden Stamen Flowing Rosy Clouds Formation."

After a brief period of charging, the two flying birds flapped their wings forward simultaneously.

Thousands of golden feathered arrows and fireballs flew out together, colliding in mid-air.

In an instant, the world changed color, and a huge spiritual energy fluctuation swept across the entire battlefield.

The other participants had to temporarily slow down their battle rhythm, using a portion of their fighting Qi to form shields around their bodies to avoid being overturned by this spiritual energy fluctuation.

Everyone stared blankly at the sky, their hearts filled with immense shock.

"Damn, this is too exaggerated, isn't it? Can just two Eighth-Grade Spirit Formations erupt with such powerful might?"

"Every single feathered arrow summoned by that golden flying bird is enough to pierce through me, but it has thousands of such feathered arrows! The Young Lord truly lives up to being one of the nine prodigies of the central continent!"

"Such terrifying power, even an ordinary Eight-Star Martial Venerable, or even a Nine-Star Martial Venerable, might not be able to withstand it. Yet Xu Hongmi is just a girl not yet 30 years old!"

"I can only say that the two of them becoming one of the Nine Elites is not without reason. The young Prodigies who are not among the Nine Elites may not necessarily be weak in strength, but all of the Nine Elites are Heaven-Defying powerhouses!"

"Look, Big Strong One seems to be struggling!"

Indeed, in this clash of waves, Lu Xingchen fell into a disadvantage.

This "Golden Stamen Flowing Rosy Clouds Formation" was Xu Hongmi's trump card; she had invested years of effort into it, making her more familiar with the Spirit Formation's operation and able to control its power more precisely.

For Lu Xingchen, being a Spirit Array Master was just a side profession; he hadn't invested much effort into it, and this "Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array" hadn't been deployed many times.

The gap between the two in terms of Spirit Formations was like that between an academic genius and a true academic god.

Lu Xingchen could score 90 points because his ability was only 90 points, while Xu Hongmi could score 100 points because the total score was only 100.

Coupled with the fact that the "Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array" was inherently less powerful than the "Golden Stamen Flowing Rosy Clouds Formation," Lu Xingchen immediately fell into an absolute disadvantage.

Each golden feathered arrow had to pierce through several fireballs before being extinguished. By the time Lu Xingchen's fireballs were depleted, more than half of the golden feathered arrows remained, all striking the spiritual energy Vermilion Bird.

The spiritual energy Vermilion Bird, formed by the Spirit Formation absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, was directly dispersed by Xu Hongmi.

The "Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array" also showed damage and had to be repaired immediately with Spiritual Seals, otherwise, it could dissipate at any time.

But would Xu Hongmi give him time to repair the Spirit Formation?

A look of triumph appeared on Xu Hongmi's face.

"Lu Dazhuang, it seems your strength isn't as tough as your mouth! Even if you beg me now, I won't let you go. You, and your Dao Companion, must obediently return to the entrance Plaza. The next time we meet, I will definitely take your life!"

Lu Xingchen grinned.

"Little girl, the battle isn't over yet, you seem to be celebrating too early!"

With that, Lu Xingchen threw out a spirit formation seed.

Another Eighth-Grade Spirit Formation appeared on the battlefield.

This formation was named "Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation," and it was Lu Xingchen's most proficient Spirit Formation.

Because it was defensive in nature, Lu Xingchen naturally paid more attention to things that could save his life.

Seeing this, Xu Hongmi wasn't too surprised.

She also had several of these spirit formation seeds, not only for the "Golden Stamen Flowing Rosy Clouds Formation" but also for several other Eighth-Grade Spirit Formations.

However, it is extremely difficult for a Spirit Array Master to control two Spirit Formations simultaneously, because to unleash the power of a Spirit Formation, one must constantly use Soul Power to control the formation and generate Spiritual Seals to repair the Spirit Formation. Being too greedy might result in not even being able to use one Spirit Formation well.

Xu Hongmi snorted coldly and said sharply, "Lu Xingchen, it seems your abilities are only so-so. spirit formation seeds are merely a method Spirit Array Masters use to prevent enemies from interrupting their spellcasting. You bringing it out now is simply to save some time in deploying the Spirit Formation."

"Once all your spirit formation seeds are used up, you will still be unable to escape death!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Don't celebrate too early. Simultaneously controlling multiple Spirit Formations is a mandatory lesson in our sect!"

With that, Lu Xingchen simultaneously manipulated the spiritual energy Black Tortoise, which was conjured by the "Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation," to block Xu Hongmi's attacks, while also repairing the "Vermilion Bird Spirit Burning Array."

The spiritual energy Vermilion Bird's form began to recondense.

Seeing this, Xu Hongmi was shocked.

"How is this possible? Controlling two Eighth-Grade Spirit Formations simultaneously? Is your Soul Power stronger than mine?"

As mentioned before, controlling two Spirit Formations simultaneously is a thankless task.

Although Xu Hongmi had heard of Spirit Array Masters with such abilities, she hadn't been particularly moved by it.

Such a feat requires multitasking, a lot of effort to practice, and it's difficult to master yet easy to break, so she hadn't tried it.

But she hadn't expected to actually encounter such a master in battle.

And this master was her sworn enemy, whom she hated to the core.

This was truly too frustrating!

But for now, she could only attack with all her might, trying to destroy his second Spirit Formation before Big Strong One completed his repairs!

Xu Hongmi increased her Soul Power input, and this attack was even fiercer than the last.

However, defending always consumes less than attacking, and the "Black Tortoise Spirit Guarding Formation" specializes in defense, which Lu Xingchen is also quite proficient in.

With these three factors combined, Xu Hongmi's second attack was even less effective than her first, failing to shatter the spiritual energy Black Tortoise.

Soon, Lu Xingchen completed the repairs, and the spiritual energy Vermilion Bird recondensed. The two Divine Beasts and Xu Hongmi's golden flying bird tangled in the air, and for a time, victory was hard to determine.

Lu Xingchen controlled the two Eighth-Grade Spirit Formations while bickering with Xu Hongmi.

"Xu Hongmi, it seems we two won't be able to determine a winner in a short time. But your little black friend might not last much longer!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hongmi was startled and diverted her attention to check the other battlefields.

At this moment, Little Black was being chased and attacked by Yun Li.

Yun Li had remained still, protected by several powerhouses from the Martial Artists Alliance, but her hands were constantly moving, continuously firing feathered arrows.

Although Little Black's speed was already very fast, it still couldn't match the speed of the feathered arrows. He could only dart around the battlefield, constantly dodging.

Occasionally, a few feathered arrows would catch up to him, but he intercepted them with the dagger of demonic darkness he had picked up.

To achieve speed, Yun Li had not imbued these feathered arrows with Martial Skills. Coupled with the powerful ability of the black mist conjured by Little Black, which could not only increase speed and hide his aura but also provide damage immunity, even if a few feathered arrows hit Little Black, they couldn't defeat him.

However, Little Black was already injured, and his Realm was inferior to Yun Li's. If this stalemate continued, he was bound to lose.

Moreover, Yun Li's methods were not limited to this.
