His words startled me. From what I could tell, the evil sacrificial spirit was invincible in this world. All this time, no matter what kind of situation he encountered, he had always dealt with it casually. Why was he so afraid of the Ten Terminal Formation?
After a moment of silence, I recalled the fat man's explanation of the formation. I told the evil sacrificial spirit, "This formation is called the Ten Terminal Formation. It's made up of nine Nine Palaces Great Formations and a hidden formation. The fat man and I used the nine cauldrons to break the nine Nine Palaces Great Formations. The darkness in front of us is the last formation."
The fat man was still unconscious, so he couldn't explain the formation in detail. I told the evil sacrificial spirit everything I had heard from the fat man, hoping to enlighten the evil sacrificial spirit.
After listening to me, the evil sacrificial spirit shook his head. "This is indeed the Ten Terminal Formation, but the darkness in front of us isn't a hidden formation. It's a magic treasure."
A magic treasure?
I was surprised and asked, "What kind of magic treasure?"
The evil sacrificial spirit shook his head again. "I don't know what kind of magic treasure it is. I set up the Ten Terminal Formation with my own hands, and the eighty-one bronze statues in the formation were transformed from the great monsters under my command. But what is sealed in the Nine Palaces Great Formation is …"
At this point, he paused for a moment and changed his words. "The seal isn't some kind of concealment array formation. After thousands of years, I don't know who came to this place and swapped the sealed item for a magic treasure, leaving it here."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pressed forward. The vast expanse of darkness in front of him dissipated and was replaced by a long tunnel.
Previously, Wuyue had brought me through a tunnel to enter the location of the Ten Terminal Formation. Later, the quicksand-like darkness engulfed this place, and it became like this. However, the tunnel in front of me was not the tunnel we had walked through before.
This passageway was completely man-made, and the surrounding stone walls were engraved with complicated patterns. Two oil lamps were set up at regular intervals, and each lamp was held above the head by a statue that was taller than a man.
While I was carefully observing the tunnel, the evil sacrificial spirit walked in and asked me to follow him.
After following him into the tunnel and walking for about twenty meters, the evil sacrificial spirit stopped in front of a screen of light.
"When I arrived here earlier, I encountered this light screen. As long as I touch it, a golden light will erupt from the light screen, and eighteen bronze men will appear.
These 18 copper figures possessed ferocious strengths, and I suffered a heavy injury as soon as we fought, so I could only retreat helplessly. In the end, I relied on a treasure within the tomb that possessed spatial energy to avoid this place and directly enter the cave. "
Heavily injured?
Hearing those two words, my expression changed. I thought that he was just afraid of me. Who would have thought that I would be heavily injured in the first exchange? What kind of power was needed to do that?
Amidst his bewilderment, the evil sacrificial spirit continued, "After that, I pondered for a long time, but I had no clue.
When I touch the light screen again and fight with the eighteen bronze men, you can take the opportunity to observe and see if you can discover anything. "
I wasn't confident. "How would I be able to recognize something that even you don't have a clue about?"
The evil sacrificial spirit shook his head. "I've been asleep for thousands of years, and the world has changed a lot during this time. You're from the later generations, so you should have more knowledge than me."
What he said made sense, so I had to force myself to nod. "Alright, that's the only way!"
Then, the evil sacrificial spirit lifted his foot and walked toward the light screen.
When he got close, he didn't hesitate and directly placed his hand on the light screen.
At first, there was nothing unusual, but when his right hand touched the light screen, the surrounding passageway started to shake, and then there was the sound of a bell that came from an unknown place. At first, it was extremely soft, but after a while, it became deafening like a huge bell. In a trance, he had the illusion of encountering a Buddhist temple in the wilderness, and he couldn't help but feel solemn.
After the bell rang, the surroundings quietened down. Not long after, a golden light appeared at the end of the tunnel. Immediately after, the light screen also turned golden. It seemed as if a huge force was born within it, directly sending the Evil Sacrificial Spirit flying far away.
Seeing that he was injured, I became anxious. Disregarding the danger, I circulated my True Essence and flew forward, trying to catch the evil sacrificial spirit's body. However, I didn't expect that the power of that golden light was incomparably strong. As soon as I touched the sacrificial spirit, my blood and Qi surged, and I slid back a long distance before I stopped.
Using the human-shaped lamppost on the wall to stabilize my body, I hurried to look at the evil sacrificial spirit. Just now, I had only received a little bit of that attack, but it was already a heavy blow. The evil sacrificial spirit had directly received it, so I didn't know how he was doing.
At this moment, the evil sacrificial spirit stood up and patted his chest. He turned to me and asked, "How was it? Did you see anything?"
Seeing that he was fine, I relaxed. However, I couldn't see anything from that golden light. Hearing that, I turned to look at the light screen again. However, the golden light had disappeared, and it had returned to its original appearance.
Among the spells and tools that I knew, the one that was closest to this golden light was the Divine Golden Light Spell that I had learned from the Death Scripture. However, these two golden lights were fundamentally different.
The Divine Golden Light Spell's effect was unparalleled in defense, but it didn't have any attack power. However, the attack power of the golden light screen just now was not to be underestimated. Even the evil sacrificial spirit couldn't resist it, so the two were naturally different.
I couldn't think of anything, so I shook my head. The evil sacrificial spirit didn't find it strange. He just nodded and said, "Stand here and don't move. I'm going to try again. That golden light isn't the most powerful thing in this place. The bronze man inside the golden light is the core existence. This time, I'll hold on a little longer so that you can see it more clearly."
Then, he walked towards the light screen again.
With the previous contact, the evil sacrificial spirit became even more cautious this time. When he was two steps away from the light screen, he stopped, paused for a moment, and then continued forward.
The distance of two steps was short, but he was walking very slowly. I could feel that with every step he took, his aura became thicker and thicker. When he reached the light curtain, his body exuded an evil mist that looked like a thin veil that shrouded his body.
Then, he raised his hand and pressed on the light screen again.
Just like the previous time, the golden light appeared again. However, this time, the evil sacrificial spirit was well-prepared. The distance within the golden light screen couldn't move him at all.
In order to better observe the situation on the light screen, I lifted my leg and tried to take a few steps forward. However, right at this moment, the originally calm light screen suddenly shook. Not long after, the light screen that had already turned golden actually had a human figure slowly appearing.
At first, those shadows only moved on the light screen. They punched and kicked the evil sacrificial spirit in front of the light screen. Each of their punches carried terrifying power. However, the evil sacrificial spirit was well prepared. He controlled the mist around him to create a shield in front of the light screen, completely blocking the attacks of those shadows.
I was a little puzzled. Didn't the evil sacrificial spirit say that those bronze men were very strong? How come they were evenly matched?
While I was pondering, the evil sacrificial spirit suddenly roared. Then, his body, which was as steady as Mount Tai, began to retreat. Shortly after, the entire light screen rippled like water. One by one, the golden bronze men flew out of the light screen and chased after the evil sacrificial spirit.
I had seen many bronze men in the Ten Terminal Formation, but these bronze men in front of me were different.
The bronze men in front of me were dozens of feet tall and had different shapes. All of them looked ferocious.
However, the bronze men in front of him were only the height of a normal person. Their facial features were regular, and their entire bodies were golden. Their muscles were bulging, and they gave off an imposing aura. The most obvious characteristic was that the heads of these bronze men were bald.
After getting out of the golden light screen, the bronze men's aura rose again. Each of them looked like a God.
At first, the evil sacrificial spirit could fight evenly with them. However, after they got out of the light screen, the evil sacrificial spirit could only struggle.
After using his True Essence to block another attack from the bronze men, the evil sacrificial spirit took the chance to ask me, "How was it?"
Actually, I didn't need to wait for the evil sacrificial spirit to ask. At first glance, I knew something was wrong.
Each bronze man had a different shape. Some were sitting on a deer, some were holding a pagoda, and some even had a Divine Dragon or a crouching tiger. All of them looked extraordinary.
Not to mention me, anyone who comes here at this moment would be able to recognize that these eighteen bronze statues are the eighteen arhats of Buddhism.
