186: Formation backlash
Otherworld Battlefield, Garrison Fortress.
To cooperate with the World Purifying Society's actions, a combined army of the Three-Eyed Clan and Four-Armed Clan launched a fierce attack on the Garrison Fortress.
Alien warriors, like a tide, roared and charged towards the towering fortress.
On the fortress, countless cannon barrels rotated automatically, and scorching energy beams poured down like a storm.
They exploded into deathly flames among the alien races, with severed limbs flying everywhere.
Many alien warriors broke through the firepower net and rushed onto the city walls, engaging in fierce combat with the prepared Human Race warriors and battle Puppets.
Just then, a dazzling light streaked across the sky.
Blazing Sun Supreme appeared above the battlefield, and centered on him, a vast golden Domain instantly expanded.
Countless alien warriors immediately emitted thick smoke and let out shrill screams.
Their flesh and blood rapidly evaporated, turning into ashes and disappearing.
Immediately after, another Human Race expert appeared.
His hair was completely white, and his gaze was deep and wise.
Behind him, a gigantic library unfolded with a roar.
Countless book spirits flew like meteors towards the battlefield, merging into every Human Race warrior's body.
In an instant, the warriors felt their strength surge, their Mental Energy become incredibly concentrated, their wounds heal faster, and their understanding of combat techniques deepen... Countless knowledge transformed into power, empowering them.
The Human Race's morale was greatly boosted, erupting with even stronger combat power... In mid-air, Blazing Sun Supreme and Supreme Deep Space stood side by side, overlooking the entire situation.
"They didn't fall for it..."
Blazing Sun Supreme frowned slightly.
He had long prepared a killing move, intending to slay one of the opponent's Supreme-level combat powers.
By sacrificing the opponent, he hoped to Breakthrough to the God Rank Realm.
His earlier probing with Supreme Deep Space was meant to lure the opponent into the trap.
However, the opponent was exceptionally cautious and did not act as they wished.
"With Great Emperor Cang Ming's precedent, they are all wary of you."
Supreme Deep Space stroked his long beard and smiled faintly.
In the past, Great Emperor Cang Ming was able to Breakthrough to God Rank precisely by sacrificing Great Emperor You Ye.
Now, all parties have taken precautions against this.
It would be very difficult for Blazing Sun Supreme to repeat the same trick.
However, this was not entirely a bad thing for them.
The opponent had gathered a full seven Supreme-level combat powers here, while the Human Race only had four.
In terms of numbers, they were clearly at a disadvantage.
It was precisely out of apprehension for Blazing Sun Supreme that, even with a numerical advantage, the opponent dared not make any rash moves.
This greatly reduced their own pressure.
"Teacher, is everything alright with Zhu Lang City?"
Blazing Sun Supreme turned to Supreme Deep Space and asked.
Supreme Deep Space, as the Human Race's mentor, had many Disciples.
Most Supremes had received his guidance, thus he was respectfully referred to as "Teacher" by everyone.
The Federation had long been fully aware of the World Purifying Society's movements.
To obtain Great Emperor Cang Ming's essence blood, the Federation had been "cooperating" with the World Purifying Society's actions.
But those were the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, and there was no room for error.
"Don't worry, King Jin Kai has been keeping an eye on things there."
Supreme Deep Space's tone was steady.
King Jin Kai, as a Peak King-rank expert, no one was his opponent unless a Supreme appeared... Outside Zhu Lang City, on an unnamed island reef.
The salty sea breeze carried seawater, crashing against the reefs, splashing tiny waves.
This uninhabited island reef near Zhu Lang City was currently gathered with a large number of Black Robed Men.
They wore vertical-eye masks, and were members of the World Purifying Society.
Between the reefs, on a relatively flat clearing, a complex Formation had already been carved and formed.
Its style was exactly the same as the one carved by Black Eye and his group.
Above the clouds, a golden figure was almost integrated with the flowing clouds.
King Jin Kai stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sharp, watching the movements below.
"It's about to begin..."
He murmured softly, his fingertips caressing a palm-sized sphere.
The sphere had an ancient design, a warm touch, yet it emitted a chaotic fluctuation.
This was something he obtained in an ancient ruin years ago, named the "Spirit Reversal Orb."
Its unique function was to forcibly interrupt a running Formation and cause a backlash to the person controlling the Formation.
Ever since receiving the secret message from Supreme Deep Space, King Jin Kai had been guarding this place.
The goal this time was clear: to disrupt the World Purifying Society's operation and seize the essence blood at the Formation's core.
Although he didn't know where the Formation's core was, he wasn't worried at all.
According to Federation intelligence, once the grand Formation began to operate, the Formation's core would automatically emerge.
"I hope this drop of essence blood can help Blazing Sun Supreme..."
King Jin Kai muttered to himself.
The essence blood of a God-rank Experts might bring Blazing Sun Supreme the opportunity to Breakthrough, allowing him to ascend to God Rank sooner.
Given the current situation, the Human Race desperately needed a God Rank expert.
He composed himself and focused his gaze on the area below.
Like the most patient hunter, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to his prey... Deep underground in Zhu Lang City.
A gigantic Formation, several times larger than Black Eye's, was emitting a faint red glow.
Complex patterns covered the entire underground space, and the air was filled with heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.
The Hall Master stood beside the Formation, his eyes flickering with fanatical light.
Just then, the communicator in his hand lit up, and Xiao Suantian's voice came through:
"Hall Master, all sub-Formations have been checked, everything is normal, and they can be activated at any time!"
"Very good!"
The Hall Master's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
He had waited for this moment for too long.
No longer hesitating, he took a deep breath and took out a jade box covered in inscriptions.
The moment the jade box opened, an indescribable pressure permeated the air, as if a bloody sun was rising and falling within it.
It was precisely the essence blood of the God-rank Experts, Great Emperor Cang Ming.
He carefully placed the essence blood into the groove at the Formation's core.
"With Divine Blood as the guide, and living beings as the sacrifice..."
With a hoarse roar, the entire Formation erupted with dazzling light.
"Buzz—"
An incredibly thick pillar of blood-red light erupted from deep underground.
It broke through the soil layer and shot straight into the sky.
After reaching high altitude, the light pillar suddenly spread out.
It transformed into a blood-red light curtain that covered the sky, enveloping the entire Zhu Lang City.
At the same time, several slightly thinner light pillars rose simultaneously from various directions around Zhu Lang City.
They echoed the main Formation, jointly supporting this eerie blood-red light curtain.
Inside Zhu Lang City, countless residents were awakened by this sudden change.
They looked at the sky in horror, and panic spread like a plague.
"What happened?"
"What is that thing? Why does it feel so creepy?"
"Quick! Get out of here!"
They rushed towards the city gates in a panic, but were firmly blocked by the blood-red light shield.
"Oh no! We can't get out!"
"Quickly call the Federation for help!"
...Deep underground, the Hall Master felt the terrifying energy fluctuations and let out an arrogant laugh.
"Hahaha! Tremble..."
However, in just an instant, his laughter abruptly stopped.
"Pfft—"
As if struck by an invisible giant hammer, the Hall Master spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura instantly weakening.
The grand Formation disintegrated, and the blood-red light curtain disappeared.
The drop of essence blood also retracted its light, slowly rotating in the air.
"How is this possible?"
His face was filled with horror.
He had just felt that the energy in two of the sub-Formations suddenly became chaotic, causing the entire grand Formation to collapse.
The backlash affected him, leaving him severely wounded...
