High Martial Arts Era 390
by admin“Yes!” Hundreds of demigods, having received permission, sat down cross-legged and began to refine the crimson scales before them. With a little refinement, they gained part of the technique.
“The first level of the ‘Eight Directions Fire Realm Formation?’”
“What kind of formation is this?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of it, but just the first level is incredibly profound.” Numerous demigods exchanged messages, all of them quite amazed, admiring the power of the technique.
“Legend has it that the Xianxu civilization has a powerful formation, the ‘Void Origin Formation,’ which can allow hundreds of demigods to form an array as one. I didn’t expect our Wanmo civilization to have such a treasure.”
“Our Wanmo civilization has such a deep foundation.”
“But why didn’t the gods take out this powerful treasure sooner? So many demigods died in vain.”
“Don’t talk about it. Be careful the gods hear you.” The demigods of the Wanmo civilization gradually quieted down.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed… Although this source power formation was profound, it was ultimately based on the demigods, and it was only the first level, so the difficulty of comprehending it naturally wouldn’t be too high.
If it were the second, third, or fourth level, which contained the core of the formation, it would be much more difficult, and the requirements for the array leader would also be much higher.
Therefore, after all this time, the hundreds of demigods who received the teachings had all comprehended it.
As they comprehended it, they activated the crimson scales, which served as the ‘foundation’ of the array. Each demigod’s aura became special, like a blazing ball of fire.
“Good!”
“Everyone has comprehended it.” The East Demon God was quite satisfied. He looked at the Sha Kun demigod who was waiting aside, “Sha Kun, I’ll trouble you. Begin leading the formation.”
When dealing with other demigods, the East Demon God held the posture of an absolute superior, looking down.
But to Sha Kun, he was quite polite, almost treating him as an equal.
First, he needed Sha Kun to go fight, and second, Sha Kun was destined to become a Source Warrior.
“The god is being polite. I will do my utmost.” The Sha Kun demigod nodded. He took a step forward, and his surface instantly erupted with endless flames. The fiery aura far surpassed that of the other demigods who had refined the formation foundation.
After flying to the center of the hundreds of demigods.
“All you demigods.” Sha Kun demigod’s gaze swept over them, and he said in a low voice, “According to the technique, focus your spirits and form the array! Gather!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each ‘flame’ burst out with dazzling light, and the Sha Kun demigod in the center was like a giant whirlpool, frantically attracting the numerous demigods who had activated the formation foundation.
A large amount of flames began to converge, and layers of dazzling light appeared in the sky. This light illuminated the heavens and earth.
After a few breaths.
“Boom!”
The heavens and earth changed color, and a large amount of surging celestial source power gathered in the center. The flames were also gradually shrinking, and finally, what appeared before the eyes of the three gods and the other demigods who had not formed the array.
Was an extremely large, rather peculiar alien beast.
At first glance, it looked like a huge fireball, burning with a raging fire inside. However, its surface was covered with four slender arms, four stout hooves… It didn’t have a head, nor did it have eyes.
“The Eight Directions Fire Realm Formation.” The East Demon God’s eyes gleamed, “It has eight directions, four arms for killing, wielding weapons to attack external enemies… Four legs as a foundation, which can make itself stable.”
“It contains a fire realm. The demigods operate the formation and can absorb celestial source power frantically… sustaining the operation of the entire formation.”
“This is a mobile source power war formation of the Source Warrior level.” The East Demon God said solemnly.
The North Moon God and the Qiong Jin God both nodded involuntarily, and they were also quite amazed.
Broadly speaking, there are two main types of source power formations.
One is the mobile formation, which can move freely. It is advantageous for its convenience, but the drawback is that its defense is weaker, and it can also attract less celestial source power.
The other is fixed. It is usually used by some major forces to guard a certain place. If it can be combined with some artifacts, it will have immense power. However, most of them are difficult to move.
At least they can’t be moved in a short period of time.
If you divide them further, source power formations can be divided into many similar types, such as war formations, trapping formations, illusion formations, calming formations, and so on.
“The source power formation that Dongfang Ji left for the Seven Star civilization is estimated to be a fifth-level formation, a fixed formation.” Qiong Jin God said, “Its purpose is mainly for restraint and defense, and its bonus to demigod power should be secondary.”
“Right!”
“We’ve already discovered it during the invasion of the army.” The North Moon God also nodded, “The demigods couldn’t break out of the core of the formation three hundred kilometers away. There is an invisible force covering it… Even hundreds of demigods attacking together could not shake it.”
“It doesn’t require too many demigods to lead the formation, and that kind of source power formation can still erupt with such power. It’s truly unbelievable.” The North Moon God said in admiration.
After the previous battle, the three gods of the Wanmo civilization believed they had a sufficient understanding of the Seven Star civilization’s source power formation.
They also admired Dongfang Ji quite a bit.
This Eight Directions Fire Realm Formation seems to be incredibly powerful, but the prerequisite is that hundreds of demigods need to form the formation together.
“Our Eight Directions Fire Realm Formation is a war formation, and its main purpose is to attack.” The Qiong Jin God said, “Hundreds of demigods jointly mobilize celestial source power, and the power contained in the entire formation is extremely terrifying… If it can fully erupt, I’m afraid even we would have to retreat.”
The gods’ perception is incredibly strong. In their perception, the huge beast gathering in front of them has an aura even stronger than ordinary Source Warriors.
“Sha Kun, how do you feel?” Qiong Jin God took the initiative to speak, his voice resounding.
“Very good.”
“This formation’s power is boundless. I have comprehended the ‘Eight Directions Fire Realm Formation’ to the third level, and my soul has not yet transformed into a Source Warrior. I can only mobilize part of the power of this condensed ‘Heavenly Fire Realm Beast’… But I’m afraid that many newly promoted Source Warriors will not be my opponent.” The Sha Kun demigod was full of confidence, “I can definitely defeat Fang Hai in that sea and will not fail the three gods’ trust. I will seize the treasure of the Nine Leaf Nine Mountains.”
Prior to this, Sha Kun demigod had already been comprehending the ‘Eight Directions Fire Realm Formation’ for some time.
And he had also made the corresponding rules oath.
“Defeat a newly promoted Source Warrior?” The three gods all thought it was normal.
In fact, in the Divine Realm, such powerful war formations were usually used by Source Warriors to lead a large number of demigods to form an array and go confront other powerful Source Warriors… However, in the Mortal Realm, the fourth-level Star Boundary could not allow gods to enter, so it had to be handed over to the demigods to lead.
Demigod peak powerhouses, due to their weaker strength, would have weaker power when deploying the formation.
But Sha Kun demigod, his rules realm was already at the initial stage of a Source Warrior, and he was going to lead the formation. Naturally, he would be much more powerful.
“The corresponding battle artifacts have also been bestowed upon you. Go ahead and do it.” The East Demon God said, “Just remember, do your best to kill Li Yuan and Fang Hai. If you can’t… then immediately lead the army to find the location of the Nine Mountain Star Realm.”
“Yes.” The Sha Kun demigod said respectfully.
From Sha Kun demigod’s perspective, he wasn’t interested in occupying Flying Star. He was more attracted to the legendary ‘Nine Mountain World.’
“Go.” The East Demon God gave the order.
“My disciple, self-preservation comes first. Be careful.” The Qiong Jin God’s voice also rang out in Sha Kun demigod’s mind.
Boom!
Sha Kun demigod led the ‘Heavenly Fire Realm Beast,’ which was over a thousand meters tall and over three thousand meters long. The Heavenly Fire Realm Beast turned into a terrifying torrent of flames and directly rushed into the Star Boundary channel, quickly disappearing from the three gods’ perception.
“You demigods.” The East Demon God’s gaze swept over Ye An demigod and the other hundred or so demigods.
He didn’t let Ye An demigod go with him to lead the formation.
“You will be led by Ye An. Follow the formation to Flying Star. After breaking the formation, you will search for the Nine Mountain Star Realm on Flying Star.” The East Demon God instructed.
“Yes.” Ye An demigod nodded repeatedly.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More than a hundred demigods also turned into streams of light and rushed into the Star Boundary channel.
“This battle is truly a full-fledged effort.” Qiong Jin God said with a sigh, “I hope everything goes smoothly.”
“There’s no problem.” The East Demon God smiled slightly, “If a demigod peak was leading the formation, I wouldn’t be absolutely confident… But Sha Kun is leading, there’s no problem.”
The three gods all waited calmly.
At the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast’s flying speed, it would be able to reach Flying Star in less than a minute… It should be able to completely end this battle in two minutes at most.
…
Flying Star, within the area covered by the source power formation, a hazy golden light permeated the various regions.
It was incredibly quiet.
The aftereffects of the battle from many days ago had dissipated. The originally torn earth was repeatedly repaired and returned to its barren appearance… The demigods of the Seven Star civilization were all meditating outside the Star Boundary channel.
On a mountain peak.
“Big brother, hasn’t the Wanmo civilization given up?” Liu Bing’s huge body was coiled aside, her wings covering her body, shimmering with metallic light. That was the wing artifact she used, making her look quite beautiful.
“Hm.”
“But according to the information received, the Wanmo civilization has gathered more than five hundred demigods. If they really want to fight again, it should be soon.” Li Yuan said softly.
Several days ago.
The flying alien races that invaded from various planets had been largely wiped out… Li Yuan and Liu Bing returned to Flying Star and continued to guard here.
Although Fang Hai alone could hold back hundreds of demigods.
But this was a matter of the civilization’s survival, and no one dared to be careless. Any extra fighting strength was good.
“Continue cultivating.” Li Yuan smiled lightly and closed his eyes. His spiritual consciousness had already gathered in the ‘Life Star Space.’
In the past few years, since achieving the Eight Star Vein, Li Yuan had been trying to awaken another Life Star.
“Entering the Heavenly Flight Realm, although it requires more soul power to awaken each Life Star.”
“But my body has become stronger, and the Life Star’s primordial essence has exploded. It’s easier to sense Life Stars, and my soul is also strong… It’s indeed easier to awaken Life Stars.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “The eighth star vein has already awakened to the ‘sixth level.’”
“There are more ownerless Life Stars.”
“However, awakening the ninth star vein is indeed extremely difficult.” Li Yuan thought to himself.
Second-level Eight Star Vein was a legend in the Divine Realm.
Third-level Nine Star Vein was even more difficult, because the prerequisite for becoming a ‘Third-level Nine Star Vein’ was to become a ‘Second-level Eight Star Vein.’
“To become a Nine Star Vein.”
“First, I have to make my soul even stronger and strive for a fourth spiritual guidance.” Li Yuan thought to himself, “Second, it depends on whether I can get some rare treasures in the Nine Leaf World.”
According to what Li Yuan knew.
In the Divine Realm, many exceptional geniuses could eventually awaken Eight Star Veins or even Nine Star Veins, but in addition to their own talent, most of them relied on external opportunities.
Suddenly.
“The Wanmo civilization army is here.” A low voice suddenly rang out in Li Yuan’s ear.
It also rang in Liu Bing’s ears.
For a moment, all the demigods opened their eyes and quickly flew up, looking at the Star Boundary channel in the distance.
Did they come?
So suddenly?
“The Wanmo civilization army? They know the Principal’s strength. Since they dare to fight again, they must have some confidence.” Li Yuan’s mind moved, and he had already mobilized the power of the formation in the heavens and earth. His body instantly emitted wisps of golden light, and his own strength skyrocketed.
With the formation’s support, Li Yuan could defeat a demigod peak.
Liu Bing and the other demigods were also mobilizing the formation.
Beside each demigod, there were also demigod puppet figures. These puppets had been absorbing celestial source power to store energy.
However, the real dazzling thing was the black armored figure that appeared in the void.
It was Fang Hai.
More than ten seconds after all the Seven Star demigods received the message.
Boom!
The golden light sphere that had gathered in the Star Boundary channel suddenly exploded. Then, a terrifying aura erupted, and a terrifying ‘torrent of flames’ shot up into the sky.
A powerful aura enveloped the heavens and earth.
At this moment, everyone saw clearly. It was not a torrent of flames, but a huge and majestic flame beast.
Its huge body was like flames, with four slender arms, each arm holding a divine sword.
It had four huge hooves, stepping on the void, giving people an unshakeable feeling.
This beast had no head! No eyes!
“What is this?” Blood Cloth demigod, Xue Long demigod, and other demigod powerhouses were all shocked. That terrifying aura, beyond their ability to resist, made them feel no desire to fight back.
It was too strong!
The difference in power was too great. It was like the difference in the essence of life when facing a god.
“What is this?” Li Yuan also felt a shock in his heart. Even his powerful soul will felt unprecedented pressure.
It was as if an ordinary person felt a sense of suffocation when facing a tiger at close range.
Li Yuan subconsciously activated Divine Palace to probe, and the feedback he got was: [Target exceeds probing limit].
Exceeding 48.9 levels?
Was it a Source Warrior?
But it came out of the fourth-level Star Boundary channel. It was impossible to be a Source Warrior according to reason.
“It’s a source power war formation, a Source Warrior level formation.” Liu Bing’s voice rang out in Li Yuan’s mind, slightly hurried, “Big brother, this should have condensed into the form of the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast. The real Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, its bloodline is as powerful as mine.”
A Source Warrior level source power war formation? Heavenly Fire Realm Beast? Li Yuan was shocked.
He didn’t dare hesitate.
Li Yuan immediately transmitted the relevant information to the other demigods and Fang Hai.
In fact, the moment he saw the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, Fang Hai had already recognized that it was a source power war formation.
It’s just that he didn’t recognize this beast.
“Heavenly Fire Realm Beast?”
“Li Yuan’s eyesight is truly impressive.” Fang Hai in the void had an incredibly gloomy expression, “But looking at the entire Mortal Realm, legend has it that only the Xianxu civilization has this level of formation, but it’s not fire attribute. Other civilizations have Source Warrior level formations, but they don’t have source power war formations!”
Source power war formations are all mobile. Once formed, they appear like real cultivators… It’s very difficult for formations to achieve this.
Even a true god peak powerhouse could not create a Source Warrior level source power formation, in most cases.
As for the Void Origin Formation of the Xianxu civilization, it was also passed down from the Divine Realm.
“Where did the Wanmo civilization get this from?” Fang Hai couldn’t figure it out.
He had wandered through the Nine Leaf World, participated in national wars, and seen similar source power formations.
“Back then, my master could also choose a fifth-level source power war formation in the Nine Mountain World, but our Seven Star civilization didn’t have enough demigods to condense such a formation… So we chose a guardian formation.” Fang Hai gritted his teeth.
Guardian formations are slightly lower in value, but they have the advantage of only requiring one operator.
Fang Hai never imagined that the Wanmo civilization could produce such a powerful war formation.
If they had it, why didn’t they use it before? Why wait until now? Many thoughts flashed through Fang Hai’s mind.
But no matter what.
Fang Hai understood in an instant that since they had this kind of trump card, he could only fight with all his strength.
“Everyone immediately obey orders, retreat, do not engage in battle.” Fang Hai immediately ordered.
At this level of confrontation, a demigod peak powerhouse would be courting death if they dared to intervene.
At the same time.
“Lant demigod, please help me.” Fang Hai sent a voice transmission.
“Okay.” Lant demigod also responded immediately, his voice full of solemnity, “I will operate the formation with all my strength… But if we can’t really withstand it, you must retreat immediately. Even a fifth-level source power formation would take some time to break through the guardian formation, which should be enough for you to escape.”
“I understand.” Fang Hai said.
Communication between demigods was extremely fast. Before Li Yuan, Liu Bing, and the others could retreat.
Boom!
The ‘Heavenly Fire Realm Beast,’ exuding a terrifying aura, had already launched its attack. Even under the shroud of layers of golden light, its huge body leaped, instantly soaring over 50 kilometers per second.
“Kill!”
Fang Hai also moved at the same time. His entire body was shrouded in endless golden light, his eyes filled with madness and killing intent.
He knew.
He couldn’t lose this battle.
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” Countless wisps of golden light that were wandering in the heavens and earth also erupted instantly, gathering to form huge golden chains.
Hundreds of chains, like golden dragons, with boundless momentum, roared down, attempting to bind the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast’s arms and hooves.
“Trivial tricks.” The ‘Sha Kun demigod’ inside the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast had an incredibly cold expression.
Beneath him were countless demigods.
Including himself, there were 512 demigods who had condensed into one using the formation foundation. Their surfaces shone with a hazy light, and their outer layer was a vast sea of fire source power.
It eventually formed a sphere of fire one kilometer in diameter, hence the name Fire Realm.
The so-called arms and hooves were all formed by the extension and condensation of fire source power.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!” The divine swords in the four flaming arms erupted. A series of dazzling sword lights shot up into the sky, directly severing the golden chains.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Although many golden chains wrapped around the four huge hooves from below.
But the hooves contained tremendous power. When the power exploded, it shattered the golden chains effortlessly, unable to stop the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.
In the void.
Shrouded in endless golden light, Fang Hai, who was about ten meters tall and wielding a battleaxe, had already approached like lightning. He swung his weapon fiercely.
Whoosh! A sword glow that seemed to tear apart the heavens and earth, with terrifying power, struck directly at the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.
“Whoosh!”
The Heavenly Fire Realm Beast emitted flames all over its body. One arm swung its divine sword, instantly releasing a flame sword light to meet this sword glow.
“Bang~!”
A shocking collision.
Fang Hai was knocked back by the huge sword light. The golden light covering his entire body dissipated for the most part, but luckily, his swordsmanship was also extremely powerful, negating most of the power. The remaining power was blocked by his artifact battle armor.
“This swordsmanship.”
“Is it a Source Warrior mystical technique?” Fang Hai was shocked, roaring in disbelief, “Who are you?”
The power of the fifth-level source power formation was indeed extremely strong, but the reason why Fang Hai was still confident in blocking it was because he believed that the array leader’s realm was not high.
Even if a demigod peak led the formation, their strength would generally only reach the threshold of a Source Warrior.
But in the actual confrontation.
Fang Hai felt that the opponent’s sword light was incredibly profound, but in terms of pure power, it wasn’t as strong as he imagined. It seemed like the opponent couldn’t perfectly mobilize the power of the formation.
“Hahaha!”
“Fang Hai, you’re only allowed to have Source Warrior level swordsmanship?” A cold voice came from the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast, “Remember, my name is Sha Kun.”
“Sha Kun demigod? Isn’t he a demigod peak?” Fang Hai’s heart trembled.
According to the intelligence he knew, Sha Kun demigod was just a demigod peak powerhouse.
How come, in the blink of an eye, his swordsmanship had reached the Source Warrior level?
Moreover, no information had been transmitted… Fang Hai didn’t know that this batch of demigods summoned by the Wanmo civilization had been under the supervision of the three gods, and no one dared to transmit any information.
Unless it was soul voice transmission.
Otherwise, ordinary communication methods had to be transmitted through space, and they couldn’t escape the gods’ perception at close range.
Therefore.
Fang Hai only knew that the Wanmo civilization had summoned a large number of demigods, but he didn’t know what they were doing.
He definitely didn’t know that Sha Kun demigod had broken through.
The three gods hadn’t disclosed this matter.
Even Ye An demigod, after seeing Sha Kun demigod, only had some guesses.
“You know me?”
“Haha, then let me break this source power formation first.” A booming sound came from the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.
The sound was transmitted through a medium.
It transmitted through ‘demigod source power,’ and the transmission speed was far beyond the speed of sound.
Boom! The Heavenly Fire Realm Beast turned into a stream of light and charged towards the void.
“Stay.” Fang Hai roared angrily.
Almost at the same time.
Fang Hai’s voice also rang out in the minds of all his allies, “Retreat! This Heavenly Fire Realm Beast has Source Warrior level strength. I can only fight desperately to hold it back and buy some time. Immediately execute the second plan.”
“I’ll repeat it again, immediately execute the second plan!!!”
The second plan meant that Flying Star’s defense had failed and a major migration was needed.
Boom!
Fang Hai’s speed also soared to a terrifying level. Vast golden light continued to condense on him. Wisps of sword light erupted, slashing towards the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast.
“You think you can stop me like this? Ridiculous!” The Heavenly Fire Realm Beast sneered, its two arms swinging simultaneously. Two terrifying sword lights slashed through the heavens and earth.
“Bang!” “Bang!”
The sword light and sword glow collided, trying to knock Fang Hai back again, but Fang Hai’s swordsmanship had changed. It became like water, completely sticking to the sword lights.
“You think this can stop me? Laughable!” The Heavenly Fire Realm Beast’s voice was cold.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The four arms erupted simultaneously, and the four divine swords released sword lights at the same time, killing Fang Hai.
“I must hold on.”
“Hold on, so he can break through the formation later and create a chance for Li Yuan and the other demigods to escape.” A hint of madness flashed in Fang Hai’s eyes.
From the confrontation just now, Fang Hai understood that the opponent’s strength was too terrifying. Whether it was power or the profoundness of their techniques, it was no different from a real Source Warrior. He was doomed to lose.
All he could do was delay, minimize the losses.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The overwhelming sword light swept across, all blocked by Fang Hai. He was also at the Source Warrior threshold under the support of the source power formation, and he could only support it for a short time.
“Go!”
“Retreat!”
“The Alliance Leader is fighting under the support of the formation, yet he’s still at a disadvantage? This!!” Many demigods were trembling, their hearts filled with unwillingness, but they also started to retreat immediately.
“Principal.” Li Yuan looked at the direction of the confrontation in the void, suppressing the urge in his heart.
“Boss, hurry up and go.” Liu Bing pulled Li Yuan forcefully, transmitting a message anxiously, “This source power formation is too strong. Even if I use my rules secret treasures, I won’t be able to do anything about it. And Senior Qiu said that the array leader’s realm must be at the Source Warrior level.”
“Hurry up and go.”
“If we delay any longer, once the Alliance Leader can’t hold on and the formation is broken, we won’t be able to escape.” Liu Bing repeatedly transmitted messages.
Li Yuan gritted his teeth, his heart growing more and more powerless.
He knew that if they retreated, they would no longer have any hope of defending the seven planets.
But what could they do in the face of this terrifying Heavenly Fire Realm Beast? Even the Principal was at an absolute disadvantage.
Strength!
In a fight with demigods, he could still play some role, but in the face of such a Source Warrior level war formation, he didn’t even have the qualifications to participate.
Those terrifying sword lights would probably kill him with a single blow.
Suddenly.
Whoosh!
In that hazy golden light, a figure in white appeared at some point. His figure was ethereal, as if he was in another world, looking down at Fang Hai and the Heavenly Fire Realm Beast fighting below.
“Finally here.”
“This net can be closed.” The figure in white said lightly, “My disciple, retreat.”
His voice, though seemingly very light, resonated throughout the heavens and earth!
“Master?” Fang Hai, who was fighting desperately and filled with anger and anxiety, suddenly widened his eyes, his heart filled with excitement.
