Chapter 706
A violent gust of hot wind mixed with tiny electric arcs skimmed across Wu Qi's scalp . The atmosphere was filled with electric charge, causing his hair to stand on their ends and crackle while tiny electric arcs were flashing and flicking on them . The same thing was happening to those around him . Everyone was covered in a layer of electricity as they stared at each other in astonishment .
This valley was only a part of Wu Qi's baits, a little trick that he used to cover up his real intention . His ultimate goal, of course, was to use all sorts of tricks to lure the Sovereign into the Myriad Poisons Formation amidst the cluster of rugged hills next to it . However, he never dreamed that everything he had laid out in this valley was destroyed by the Sovereign with just a simple palm thunder .
Although it was only a bait, Wu Qi had meticulously laid out three sets of nested formations in this valley, thinking that this was enough to give the Sovereign some troubles, even though he was a Primordial Immortal . According to his estimation, it would take the Sovereign at least a quarter of an hour before he could escape from this valley .
But, with just a palm thunder, the Sovereign had ripped everything in the valley into shreds, including the two thousand and seven hundred soldiers who were put in charge of the formation banners, and all the arrangements in the formation!
Three sets of nested formations with six underground energy veins as the energy source, hundreds of formation discs and banners, and two thousand seven hundred soldiers who were as strong as Heaven Immortals, all of them were torn to shreds by a palm thunder! It was the simplest palm thunder that even a little Gold Core cultivator could use, the most basic magic for immortal cultivators . And yet, the formation that Wu Qi had meticulously laid out was completely smashed by such a basic magic .
Just now, when the Sovereign raised his hand and unleashed the palm thunder, Wu Qi had detected some strange transformation happening in the surrounding void through his divine sense . Although the electric arc shot out of the Sovereign's palm was as thin as a hair and about a foot long, it came with a strange rhythm that could not be explained clearly . As soon as it appeared, all the natural energy in the vicinity became different in essence; they were converted into surging electric charge, and then quickly converged on that tiny flicker of lightning .
In a short moment, the natural energy within a radius of ten thousand miles was attached to that tiny flicker of lightning, turning into a terrible thunderstorm that poured out in the most violent manner . The Sovereign had only released a tiny seed, but it had grown into a towering tree in just a flash, unleashing an incredible and frightening power . The one-thousand-miles wide valley, three sets of nested formations, and the many soldiers that controlled the formations, vanished into nothingness within this fearsome thunderstorm .
"Schemes and intrigues are convenient at times, but they are, after all, ignoble in essence!" Sitting in the chariot, the Sovereign looked coldly through the bead curtain at Wu Qi and said, "I had expected that this journey would be full of challenges, which is why I made the empty chariot lead the way while I stayed in the back, so I could find out who was trying to make things difficult for me!"
He sighed, then narrowed his eyes and said coolly, "So, it appears that an old friend of mine is trying to kill me, eh?"
Wu Qi chuckled . The chaotic energy in his body was rocking and expanding while the messy natural energy in the surroundings and the purple energy under the ground kept pouring into his body . All of a sudden, he grew taller, from thirty feet to fifty feet; his muscles were bulging, and his black dragon scales stood up like numerous sharp blades . The air rang with his heavy breathing, and shockingly, his breath turned into dark airflow that wheeled restlessly around him like some flood dragons .
With his fists clenched and a cold grin on his face, Wu Qi turned to the Sovereign and said, "Well, so long as the Sovereign is still alive, there will always be an uneasiness lurking in his Excellency's mind . Oh, on top of that, if we are able to kill the Sovereign, the credit is so massive that all of us here will be conferred a rank of nobility!" He burst into laughter, then nodded to the Sovereign and said, "I almost forgot this, we've also captured your son, Li Qinghua . . . This is also a significant credit!"
The Sovereign sighed, seeming a little dispirited . While shaking his head, he said, "Kill me? What makes you think you can achieve such a feat and claim that amazing credit?"
Wu Qi snorted coldly . That was what worried him now . He had expected the formations laid out with the power of the black gas in this valley to hold the Sovereign back for at least a quarter of an hour . Only after that would he pretend to be fleeing and lure the Sovereign to another place which he had prepared in advance—an open field near the valley with a teleportation formation which would transport them all into the Myriad Poisons Formation .
His strategy was to lure the enemy and make them bloated with pride, then give them a brutal blow in the head with the Myriad Poisons Formation . The smaller formation in this valley was the bait, and the pretentious defeat was what could make them prideful . Then, while the enemy was being arrogant and careless, he would annihilate a group of Gold Immortals following the Sovereign as to weaken their overall strength; finally, he would focus all of his efforts to trap and kill the Sovereign with Myriad Poisons Formation . All these steps had been carefully weighed by Wu Qi in his mind . However, he did not expect that the Sovereign's prowess, the prowess of a Primordial Immortal, was way beyond his imagination . With just a casual palm thunder, the formation in this valley was completely destroyed . How was he going to lure the enemy and make them bloated with pride now?
As they said, schemes and intrigues were of no use in the face of absolute power .
As he thought bitterly in his mind, Wu Qi pointed a finger at the cluster of rugged hills next to the valley and said, "Sovereign, His Excellency is waiting for you in that formation . If you enter the formation and get out, we'll hand you your son and the two dragon pythons . But, if you fail . . . " He did not finish his words intentionally and only ended it with a burst of cold and sinister laughter .
