Attacking forcefully was the stupidest way to break a formation, but it was also the most effective.
Any formation had a tolerance limit. When the power of the attack exceeded its tolerance limit, it would collapse and cease to exist.
Therefore, formations were also affected by realms. An Aura Refining formation couldn't kill a Foundation Building cultivator, and a Core Formation formation couldn't do anything to a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Generally speaking, each cultivation group's Great Mountain-Protecting Formations were formations above the Nascent Soul realm, but they couldn't compare to Deification cultivators. Therefore, with so many beast cultivators above the eighth rank gathered, they could definitely break it by force.
Of course, the process of breaking it wasn't that easy.
Now, Blackmoon Monster Sovereign and her group were planning to use this stupid method to break the formation.
For beast cultivators, even if they were in the eighth rank and their spiritual intelligence wasn't inferior to that of humans, their talent in miscellaneous studies was still inferior to humans.
Using skills to break a formation wasn't as straightforward as using force.
Ten eighth rank beast cultivators formed a simple formation and each took out a magic weapon refined from their body. Spiritual aura burst out and turned into a multicolored flying sword which pierced towards the Heaven and Earth Inverted Formation.
The tip of the sword, which carried a threatening killing intent, heavily hit the Heaven and Earth Inverted Formation with a sharp whistling sound, causing the whole Bixuan Court to shake.
At the Transporting Formation, Tang Shen's expression became even more solemn. He shoved the Dao-Achieving Pagoda into Ying Jinyi's hand and said, "You go first."
Ying Jinyi refused in a panic. "Disciple doesn't dare. Only the Head Elder is qualified to hold the Dao-Achieving Pagoda."
Tang Shen said solemnly, "We're in a critical period. For the sake of the sect's continuity, I'm giving the Dao-Achieving Pagoda to you. You don't need to refuse."
Ying Jinyi still shook her head. "It's the same if Elder Tang takes the Dao-Achieving Pagoda and leaves first. Besides, Elder Tang is more suitable than me to restore the sect's orthodoxy."
Tang Shen said, "The Head Elder has the responsibility to protect the disciples, so I must stay here.
I'm telling you to go, so go! "He then pushed the Dao-Achieving Pagoda into her hand.
Right after the three disciples left, Ying Jinyi stood on the Transporting Formation with tears in her eyes. "Elder Tang …"
Tang Shen ignored her and bowed towards Feifei, who was leaning lazily against the wall. "Senior Martial Brother, after we arrive in Kunwu, please take care of me."
Feifei blinked and nodded.
Seeing the teleportation array light up and Ying Jinyi vanish, Tang Shen turned around and looked in the direction of the mountain gate in silence.
※ ※ ※
There were two teams of ten eighth-order demon cultivators and one team of six ninth-order demon cultivators. The three teams of demon cultivators took turns to attack the Heaven and Earth Inversion Formation and finally made a hole in the defensive barrier.
Upon seeing this, Blackmoon Demon Sovereign's face lit up. He cast a glance at the expressionless Mo Tiange and Qin Xi then waved his hand. "Enter the formation."
A sneer appeared on Mo Tiange's face when she saw more than twenty beast cultivators entering the Heaven and Earth Inverted Formation. A small flag appeared in her hand out of thin air and she waved it lightly.
Rumbling sounds could be heard from within the formation, as if the sky was collapsing.
Blackmoon Demon Lord's expression changed slightly. He turned to the two Level Ten demon cultivators beside him and said, "Elders, this …"
Of the two tenth rank demon cultivators, the one with a pale face and no beard waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, second prince. We won't be completely annihilated."
Qin Xi glanced at him with the Three Yang Real Fire in his hand and said in a low voice, "Let me enter the formation and kill them."
Mo Tiange pondered for a while then took out a jade talisman and gave it to him. "With this talisman, the formation won't attack you.
Don't fight them head-on. Just kill them with the help of the formation. "
Qin Xi chuckled. "I know. You don't need to give me instructions like a disciple."
Mo Tiange was stunned and felt embarrassed.
These days, when commanding disciples and controlling the formation, she habitually gave instructions like this and that, so she just said this sentence casually.
"Open the formation and let me in," he said.
Mo Tiange waved the formation flag, and a small hole about three feet wide appeared where they stood. Dark clouds rolled inside.
Qin Xi shrank his body and jumped down.
After entering the formation, Qin Xi rode the wind.
He was surrounded by rolling dark clouds, and not far away, lightning flashed incessantly.
He had a jade talisman on his waist, so neither the dark clouds nor the lightning bothered him as if he didn't exist.
The dark clouds blocked his line of sight, so he couldn't see anything. He waved his sleeve, brushed away the dark clouds, and descended.
After jumping down from the dark clouds, he naturally looked down, but he was shocked.
It wasn't the ground below, but the sky!
There was a sun hanging in the deep blue sky.
Did I go in the opposite direction?
With this in mind, he prepared to turn around, but only halfway through, he turned back.
No, it was indeed below.
Above, there were several mottled pieces of land between the dark clouds: plains, loess, mountains, and oceans.
"The Heaven and Earth Inverted Formation, so that's what it is …" Qin Xi seemed to understand.
Since heaven and earth were inverted, Yin and Yang were probably also inverted. Those beast cultivators wanted to break the formation, but at least ten of them died.
As he thought about this, he saw a group of beast cultivators entering the formation.
Twenty-six beast cultivators, three ninth rank beast cultivators at the front and back, and twenty in the middle, divided into four teams, formed a shuttle formation, and flew slowly and cautiously.
Qin Xi held the jade talisman in his hand, quietly turned into a dark cloud, and slowly drifted towards this team.
In normal times, no matter what he turned into, he would more or less reveal some flaws in front of these eighth and ninth rank beast cultivators. However, they were inside the Heaven and Earth Inverted Formation. Mo Tiange presided over the formation, and he had a jade talisman in his hand. After turning into a dark cloud and merging with the formation, it was impossible for him to reveal his identity.
After flying for a while, the beast cultivator in the middle stopped, turned around, and said, "Two in a team, spread out and look around for strange things that might be the eye of the formation."
"Yes," the beast cultivators answered.
The beast cultivator in the lead said again, "Remember, if there's an accident, immediately activate the Spirit Chain."
"Yes."
The beast cultivators spread out in a team of two and went in different directions.
Qin Xi chose a pair of early stage Nascent Soul beasts and followed them quietly.
After flying for a while, a wretched-looking black man said, "Human formations are really amazing. The things here look real. How can we know what's strange if we keep searching?"
"Yes!"
Another youth with a short stature said, "Human things are so strange, how can we recognize them?"
The two beasts flew in silence for a while. The black man said again, "In my opinion, we're doing fine in Xumi Sea. Why do we have to attack humans?
Humans have a lot of treasures, but our Xumi Sea is full of treasures. We don't need them! "
"Who knows?" the short youth said, "Who dares to disobey the sovereign's order?
Besides, the leader this time is the second prince. The second prince is very interested in human things. I heard he even traveled to human territory a hundred years ago. I really don't understand … "
"There's probably some mystery. Qilins have noble bloodlines and are naturally more intelligent than us. The second prince is also the smartest among all the princes. Maybe he'll inherit the throne in the future!"
The youth smiled and said, "Brother Feilong came with the second prince because of this?"
The black man chuckled. "If it weren't for this, who would be willing to do this hard job?
Brother Jie Li, aren't you? "
The youth chuckled and didn't defend himself, which showed that it was indeed the case.
Qin Xi, who was listening from behind, pondered in his heart.
Was Xumi Sea referring to the South Sea?
The South Sea sovereign's clan seemed to be fighting for the throne.
"… Brother Feilong, why can't I see clearly?" the short youth muttered.
"That's right …" The two demons turned around, only to see dark clouds rising around them, covering the surrounding scenery.
"Not good!" the youth shouted, "The formation might be activated!"
As soon as he said that, he and the black man were about to disperse the dark clouds, but lightning suddenly burst out from the dark clouds and covered the two beasts.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!"
Explosions rang out incessantly. Qin Xi hid in the dark clouds. Seeing that the two beasts couldn't resist the lightning, he instantly transformed into his human form. The Three Yang Real Fire Sword flew out of his sleeve, silently but flexibly circling them, and the heads of the beasts trapped by the lightning were easily cut off.
After they died, the two beasts returned to their original forms. The black man was originally a sea centipede, but he was now called a flying dragon. The short youth was a fat and short loach.
He put the two beasts' corpses back into his Interspatial Ring and heard the sound of fleeing not far away.
The movement of the Heavenly Thunder Formation just now was too big. Eighty percent of the scattered beast cultivators heard it and were rushing over.
Qin Xi didn't panic at all. He still turned into a dark cloud and drifted away slowly.
Colorful streaks of light quickly flew over, and the two Ninth Tier Beast Cultivators were the first to arrive. They scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, but did not find anything suspicious.
"Isn't it here?" one of the beasts muttered.
The other beast shook his head. "I did feel the fluctuation of magic here. It was here just now."
The other beasts flew over one after another. A ninth rank beast cultivator counted and said with a solemn expression, "Two are missing."
Another ninth rank demonic cultivator swept the surroundings with a sharp gaze. "It seems that they were killed here."
The two beast cultivators looked at each other, and one of them said, "We can't split up anymore."
The other beast nodded. "Let's look for them together." Then he said loudly, "This formation is strange. From now on, don't split up.
Line up! "
The ninth rank beast cultivators still lined up in a shuttle formation in the front and the back.
Qin Xi sighed regretfully. With so many beast cultivators together, it was hard for him to break them one by one with the help of the formation. When could the formation be activated?
Just as he was thinking about this, the surroundings suddenly darkened.
The beast cultivators were shocked. They looked up and saw that the sea began to roar on the ground above. In the sky below, the red sun was dim, and the sun was covered by dark clouds.
In an instant, there were many things in the surroundings. There were sparkling and translucent hexagonal ice crystals, floating sparks, intertwining vines, and fluttering sand. When the wind blew on his face, it hurt a lot.
As soon as these beast cultivators put on a defensive posture, these things smashed down on them.
The ice crystals turned into knives, the sparks turned into lotuses, the wooden vines turned into thorns, and the sand fell like rain. The sea above their heads dropped huge waves and surged over aggressively. The sky under their feet was filled with lightning, turning into a world full of killing intent.
In addition to external troubles, there were also internal troubles.
The beast cultivators were about to cast spells, but they found that the spiritual aura rules here had been changed. Yin and Yang were reversed, and the five elements were disordered. The power of their spells was greatly reduced when they were cast forcibly.
In the chaos, Qin Xi quietly hid in the cloud and floated toward these beast cultivators. Inside the cloud, a trace of imperceptible sword light appeared.
