Time passed by slowly.
And the number of cultivators in the mountain range was also rapidly decreasing.
Although it was said to be tempering, it was simply a nightmare for weak martial artists.
Of course, their strength was too weak. Even if they died, it would not attract the attention of elites.
In the blink of an eye, more than 20 days passed.
During this time, no one came to disturb Fang Chen.
The latter's comprehension of formations also became deeper and deeper.
In the end, he completely comprehended the formation inheritance, and the aura of formations filled his mind.
Fang Chen's body seemed to have merged into a level three formation.
If there was someone here, they would definitely be shocked because the current Fang Chen had already merged into one with heaven and earth.
On his forehead, there was a brilliant light, as if he could break through at any time.
The Dao of Formations was similar to the Dao of Seals in many ways.
However, seals were only a minor path, while formations were a major path.
Formations were too vast, and some people could not reach the peak of formations even if they spent their whole lives.
Some people had dedicated their entire lives to the Dao of Array Formations.
The more he comprehended the formation inheritance, the deeper Fang Chen's understanding of formations.
Moreover, Fang Chen broke through the pinnacle, and his soul was transforming into a Primordial Spirit.
As time passed, his purple soul had already reached the limit, and was only a step away from completely transforming into a Primordial Spirit.
Fang Chen's strength was also increasing.
With a stronger soul, it was easier to set up formations.
Under the accumulation, one day, Fang Chen finally completed a breakthrough.
Boom!
The moment he opened his eyes, the surrounding formation immediately shattered.
A brilliant light shot out from his eyes, shooting straight into the clouds.
With a thought, he waved his hand, and a brand-new formation immediately appeared in the valley.
On the surface of this formation, flowing light circulated, and its power was very strong.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen's face revealed a smile.
"A level four formation?"
Fang Chen said faintly.
After such a long time of hard work, he finally broke through to the level of four-star formation master.
And now, he could also set up level four formations with ease.
Level Four formations were extremely difficult for low-level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators to decipher.
Only a cultivator at the middle or high level of the Heavenly Body Tier would be able to easily break through it.
Fang Chen realized that ever since he had broken through the Limiteer realm, it had become much easier for him to improve in all aspects.
This should be the benefit of breaking through the limit.
After all, there were less than a handful of people on the Old Hua Islands who had reached the extreme state.
He was really looking forward to meeting those powerhouses who had broken through the Extreme Realm.
The difference between a Tier 4 Array Formation and a Tier 3 Array Formation was the core of the Array Formation.
A Tier 4 Array Formation could completely conceal the core of the Array Formation within the Array Formation and merge with the Array Formation.
This greatly increased the difficulty of breaking the formation.
If he couldn't find the core of the array, it would be impossible to break the array.
Whoosh
Fang Chen waved his hand and put away the array.
His pitch-black eyes looked up at the blue sky as he muttered to himself, "After comprehending the Dao for so long, it's time to go out for a walk."
Fang Chen contacted Little Mouse.
After getting the exact location of Little Mouse, Fang Chen hurried over.
Half a day later, Fang Chen found Little Mouse.
"Boss, you've broken through," Little Mouse said with a smile.
Fang Chen nodded and asked, "How is it?"
For Fang Chen, he only needed to enter the top 300. He didn't need too many Demonic Cores.
However, Little Mouse had already decided to make Fang Chen the most dazzling genius in this round.
"Boss, we've obtained a total of 3,000 Demonic Cores in more than 20 days." Little Mouse handed the Demonic Cores to Fang Chen.
Hearing this, Fang Chen nodded lightly.
According to his estimation, 3,000 Demonic Cores were enough to enter the top 300. They could even rank higher.
"Boss, let's go."
Little Mouse had already discovered some Crimson Cloud Azure Gold Leopards and was preparing to hunt them.
After a while, Fang Chen followed Little Mouse to where the Crimson Cloud Azure Gold Leopards were.
However, there was a huge battle going on here.
At first glance, Fang Chen was stunned.
The person fighting the Crimson Cloud Azure Gold Leopards was one of the Eight Great Prodigies, Yuwen Tianhe.
"Yuwen Tianhe."
Fang Chen muttered.
Bang!
Yuwen Tianhe exploded with an extremely powerful force and instantly killed the Crimson Cloud Azure Gold Leopards.
After putting away the Demonic Cores, he turned his head and looked at a hidden place.
"Since you're here, why don't you dare to come out?"
Yuwen Tianhe had already discovered that someone was approaching.
Hearing this, Fang Chen walked out of his hiding place.
When he saw that it was Fang Chen, Yuwen Tianhe's expression changed slightly.
"It's you." Yuwen Tianhe was a little surprised.
However, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind and he said, "Kid, how about working together with me?"
"Work with you?" Fang Chen asked.
"Let's work together. I'll lure a large number of Crimson Cloud Azure Gold Leopards over. You use a formation to control them, and I'll kill them."
"Then how are we going to split the Demonic Cores?" Fang Chen asked.
"The Demonic Cores are naturally all mine." Yuwen Tianhe sneered.
This idiot actually wants to split the Demonic Cores with me. He's really courting death.
"I won't do this kind of loss-making business."
After saying that, Fang Chen turned and left.
"Stop!"
Yuwen Tianhe roared. His entire body emitted a terrifying killing intent. He coldly said, "Did I say you could leave?"
Fang Chen frowned. This Yuwen Tianhe was too much.
Yuwen Tianhe walked in front of Fang Chen and extended his hand. He sinisterly said, "Hand over the Demonic Cores on your body and obediently help me hunt for Demonic Cores. Then, I can let you live."
Yuwen Tianhe bared his fangs and threatened Fang Chen.
"What if I say no?" Fang Chen asked back.
"Then …"
Yuwen Tianhe didn't even finish his words before he attacked.
Dong!
Unfortunately, his attack was blocked in the air.
"Hmm?"
Yuwen Tianhe's expression changed. He found himself trapped in a formation.
"Brat, do you think such a trash formation can trap me?!" roared Yuwen Tianhe savagely.
"Wait until you come out of the formation," said Fang Chen.
After saying that, he no longer paid attention to Yuwen Tianhe and left.
He left behind a furious Yuwen Tianhe who was constantly attacking the formation.
He had underestimated Fang Chen's strength. This formation was a fourth tier formation. Let alone him, even the other eight heavenly geniuses wouldn't be able to escape.
Yuwen Tianhe cursed, wanting to flip out.
A moment later, Fang Chen returned.
"Right, I almost forgot to collect my spoils." After saying that, Fang Chen smiled brilliantly. "Hand over all your Demonic Cores."
"You want my Demonic Cores? Dream on!" roared Yuwen Tianhe.
"If that's the case, then you'll be trapped here forever." Fang Chen spread out his hands and prepared to leave.
Yuwen Tianhe was a bit anxious.
"Brat, if you remove the formation, I can give you my Demonic Cores."
After attacking for a while, Yuwen Tianhe also discovered the strangeness of this formation.
This was a competition. He couldn't waste any time.
If he was trapped in the formation, wouldn't he risk being eliminated?
Not only did he want to advance, but he also wanted to enter the finals to prove that he was still one of the eight heavenly geniuses.
Wei Changkong wasn't.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Hand over your Demonic Cores and I'll remove the formation. Otherwise, there's no room for discussion."
Fang Chen impatiently said, "My patience is limited. If you don't agree, I'll immediately turn around and leave."
Yuwen Tianhe's expression kept changing when he heard Fang Chen's words. In the end, he took out his Demonic Cores.
In the past few days, Yuwen Tianhe had obtained a thousand Demonic Cores.
He threw them all out.
"You've obtained the Demonic Cores. It's time to remove the formation," Yuwen Tianhe said in a deep voice.
Fang Chen put away the Demonic Cores and grinned. "What an idiot."
After saying that, he ignored Yuwen Tianhe and turned around to leave.
Seeing Fang Chen's disappearing figure, Yuwen Tianhe roared in anger.
"Fang Chen, just you wait. I'm going to tear you to shreds."
After a long distance, the Little Mouse burst into laughter.
"Boss, what you did was too unethical."
"I'm already merciful enough for not attacking him," Fang Chen said.
The path of martial arts was cruel and bloody.
If he killed Yuwen Tianhe, the outside world wouldn't say anything.
It was the same everywhere. The fist was the absolute truth.
After collecting Yuwen Tianhe's Demonic Cores, the total number of Demonic Cores reached four thousand.
However, the Little Mouse was still not satisfied.
As he searched, he discovered a wondrous place.
"Boss, when I call you later, set up a formation," the Little Mouse said.
This was a plain with a valley not far ahead.
Fang Chen nodded.
The Little Mouse, the Demon Armor Insect, and the Darknight Queen excitedly rushed into the valley.
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the valley.
After a while, Little Mouse and the other two quickly ran out.
Behind them was a dense pack of Redcloud Azure Leopards. They roared at the sky and chased after them.
Seeing this scene, Fang Chen was stunned.
"Boss, set up a formation."
The Little Mouse roared. Fang Chen was stunned for a moment before he quickly set up a fourth stage formation.
Bang! Bang!
The pursuing Redcloud Azure Leopards were caught off guard and crashed into the formation. They were then controlled by the formation.
Roar!
Angry roars rose and fell one after another.
The Little Mouse looked at the large number of Redcloud Azure Leopards trapped in the formation with a smile on its face.
"Boss, how is it?" The Little Mouse smiled.
In the valley ahead, there was a large number of Redcloud Azure Leopards. The Little Mouse had only lured out one-third of them, but there were still more than a thousand of them.
Fortunately, there was a fourth stage formation. Otherwise, it would be difficult to kill so many Redcloud Azure Leopards.
"Let's do it."
The Little Mouse glanced at the Demon Armor Insect and the Darknight Queen.
However, just as they were about to make a move.
Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air came from the sky.
Then, a few figures appeared.
