Swish!
As the ashen-faced Black Yin Ancestor was about to land, his black robe flapping around him, he heard the air shriek and countless arrows shoot toward him.
”Alarm Gate!”
This was not the first time the Black Yin Ancestor had run into these attacks, and this level was far from enough to harm him. The Black Yin Ancestor turned his hand over, sending out a vast stream of Stellar Energy that immediately turned into a barrier of what seemed like black glass.
But as the first arrow battered against the barrier, the Black Yin Ancestor grimaced.
This wasn't his first time receiving this kind of attack, but the power of the attack was clearly different.
Each of these arrows now delivered an extremely heavy force, seeming less like arrows and more like hammers. The black wall of Stellar Energy the Black Yin Ancestor had laid down began to tremble.
One arrow, two arrows, three arrows… as more and more arrows slammed down, the black barrier began to dim, and then it simply exploded.
”Not good!”
The Black Yin Ancestor punched forward, obliterating the rain of arrows. By this point, the Black Yin Ancestor's face had twisted into a nasty scowl, and his eyes were extremely grave.
The formation had changed!
All the attacks had become stronger, more dangerous and harmful!
All those caught inside the formation… were in danger!
Arooooo!
The Black Yin Ancestor suddenly gave a bestial howl, and his dantian erupted with evil energy. In a flash, the Black Yin Ancestor was shooting like a cannonball toward the center of the formation.
”Just who is it who dares to oppose this ancestor?!”
His voice echoed through the space, but the man himself was long gone.
The Black Yin Ancestor was not some master of formations, but a moment ago, even he had sensed that someone was messing around with the formation, throwing into disarray all of its rules of operation.
Everything that was happening in front of him could not be written off as mere happenstance!
……
”Ah!”
One dying scream after another rang out through the air.
As Wang Chong heard these miserable screams from up ahead, he grimaced.
The entire formation had begun to operate in an entirely different matter, each formation gate turning into four. This meant that the more than ten thousand formation gates had become more than forty thousand, and they were starting to shift around more quickly and with more frequency, their attacks getting fiercer.
”They're preparing to eliminate all the martial artists in the formation!”
As the winds howled around him, Wang Chong's expression turned increasingly grave.
He had not been solely calculating all this time. Through the world of energy, Wang Chong could 'see' a vast storm of worldly energy that could make any martial artist pale. It was surging out from the core of the formation and well on its way to engulfing every single formation gate.
Through some mysterious method, this immense energy was swiftly hardening the formation gates and increasing the power of the various attacks within.
”There's no time!”
Wang Chong's expression was one of unprecedented solemnity.
That mysterious faction had activated the final energy of the formation in order to sweep away all the martial artists within. This was much earlier than he and the Formation Elder had expected.
It was obvious that these people were getting impatient and wanted to get rid of the martial artists as quickly as possible.
”There are too many martial artists gathered here. No matter what, I can't allow them to succeed!”
Wang Chong's eyes turned sharp.
Hwooo! As the winds tossed around his clothes, Wang Chong accelerated, his body flying toward the next formation gate.
Boom! Boom! Boom! As the formation rapidly shifted, the model of the Origin Immortal Formation in Wang Chong's mind also began to move at unprecedented speeds.
Wang Chong's Psychic Energy was rapidly consumed in this entire process.
As a Psychic Energy practitioner, Wang Chong possessed vast reserves of Psychic Energy. This was why Wang Chong was able to perform far more calculations than a master of formations like the Formation Elder.
Deriving the formation's movements consumed Psychic Energy, particularly a formation as complicated as the Origin Immortal Formation. The faster and longer he calculated, the more Psychic Energy he would consume.
