Chapter 567: The Formation Is Breached
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
"Activate the formation!" cried Princess Zhang Le as soon as she arrived at the bottom of Qianzhang Lake .
Before her words could fade, she fell tumbling down to the ground . The Primordial Dao of Divinity was indeed extremely powerful and magical, but it would also bring the caster an unprecedented pressure and dreadful side effects . She was already suffering from a serious injury after burning half of the source of her divine soul not long ago, and now with her divine energy completely exhausted, she would not be able to recover even a single thread of her divine energy for the next seven days .
Catfish quickly cupped her up, while Peppermint and Angelica rushed over and kept feeding healing spirit herbs into her mouth .
Lord Xiansheng was quick in action as well . A dozen lightning rays darted out of his fingertips as he pressed his palm on the ground, which instantly activated the dozens of formations they had deployed during the past few days . A deep, muffled rumble echoed out as all the formations were activated, radiating a strange light to blanket the entire bottom of Qianzhang Lake, and casting an ever-changing glow on their faces . In a blink of an eye, the bottom of Qianzhang Lake had turned into a world full of splendid colors .
Patriarch Ji Mie, the Three Evil Daoists from Mount Black Goat, and the Seven Saints of Yaxin Island were among the thirty-odd strongest Heaven Immortals who had survived . At the moment, they had unleashed their immortal items and showered Qianzhang Lake with all sorts of powerful attacks .
The first attack came from Patriarch Ji Mie, in the form of his nine flaming bone swords . They had transformed into nine beams of white light, each measuring at least one thousand feet long, piercing through the water as they went thousands of feet under the lake and smashed hard on the first layer of energy barrier right above the dragon mansion . A loud boom rang out as the water in the lake was thrown high up into the sky while burning like oil . The swords had kindled all the water, causing it to shoot dozens of miles up into the sky like a dazzling, green colored firework, and then fall down in all directions to cover the entire wetland in a raging green flame .
There was not a drop of water left in Qianzhang Lake . When the nine swords hacked on the first layer of energy barriers, the 'Reversing Five-elements True Thunder Formation', a five-colored thunderbolt shot out and collided with them . The powerful impact caused bright sparks to fly out from the swords . Eerie ghost howls filled the atmosphere as countless ghostly figures leaped out of the swords and fled in all directions .
The cultivation technique practiced by Patriarch Ji Mie was part of the Yin Ghost League, and his flaming bone swords were made of human bones, souls, and ghost flame . Yet, unfortunately, it was the true thunder of five elements that the formations had used to attack the enemies . It was an extremely fierce attack that came with pure Yang energy, the bane of all evil beings . As Patriarch Ji Mie was desperate to be the first to attack, six of his flying swords were shattered to pieces by the immense thunderbolt .
He howled miserably as a large amount of blood mist sprayed out of his body . The flaming bone swords were his Prime Magical Items, a set of immortal items which he had spent great effort to craft . Now, as the thunderbolt had destroyed six of them, it had also caused a severe injury to his immortal soul . Tiny electric arcs kept bolting out of his body, making him look like a huge light bulb glowing in the sky .
When he had just thought of flying high up into the sky to heal himself, three green sword beams suddenly came shooting over at him and pierced his forehead, his chest, and his abdomen . The three evil Daoists from the Mount Goat had seized the opportunity to kill him . With any one of them possessing an equally strong cultivation base as Patriarch Ji Mie, how could he survive the sneak attack when he was severely wounded?
"The girl is badly wounded, and sooner or later, she will fall into our hands . The two Dragon Pythons of Fire and Ice are all the better . Isn't it better to have one less contender for such a treasure?" Three evil Daoists shouted out at the same time . The other Immortals who had survived Princess Zhang Le's cruel slaughter were startled at first . But soon, they nodded as they agreed on what the three had said .
But intentionally or unintentionally, these Immortals had moved to place themselves further with one another, and while they continued to attack Qianzhang Lake, they had shifted more attention back to themselves . Imperceptibly, the attack that showered Qianzhang Lake was weaker than before .
Even so, dozens of immortal items still landed on the first layer of energy barrier, along with a crushing blow . Thunderbolts rushed out and knocked tens of lesser quality weapons away, while those better crafted ones had clung themselves on the formation, spitting flames and thunderbolts to weaken it .
Although these Immortals did not attack with their full power as they were keeping a watchful eye on each other, with their strong cultivation base, the first layer of energy barrier could only last three hours before it was completely shattered .
Princess Zhang Le sighed faintly when she saw that the energy barrier was destroyed . Luckily, she had killed seventy percent of the Immortals with the mystic technique . Otherwise, should all the Immortals, over two hundred of them, attack at the same time, the formation would not have lasted so long . And, she felt lucky that these remaining Immortals were guarding against each other, and didn't dare attack with their full power, as it would make the formation last less than two hours .
"We have thirty-six layers of formations," Princess Zhang Le said calmly, "By the look of it, we still have three to four days of time . Let them waste their energy on the formations, and we'll find a perfect opportunity to make an escape . "
Gritting her teeth, she said with a cold grin, "Daoist Ling, the man who knows divination, has been killed by Patriarch Ji Mie . So long as we can storm out of the encirclement, we should have a long period of time to recuperate . We would be able to escape this calamity if we are not hunted by some overly strong Immortals . "
At that moment, Qianzhang Dragon King carefully leaned over, pointing to the archway as he said, "I am a coward who is afraid of death . Therefore, long ago, I had dug a waterway under the archway, and it leads straight to a great river about three hundred thousand miles from here . "
