Chapter 1498: Chapter 351
The three assassins had never felt this way before; entering the formation map, they felt their power suppressed, unable even to exert ninety percent of their peak strength!
Before they could recover, sixteen talismans had already fallen from the void!
Back when Ling Xi was at the Golden Core stage, she could control thirty-two talismans simultaneously. Now, having broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, she could naturally control more talismans at once.
Even at her Golden Core stage limit, she couldn’t control all sixty-four talismans simultaneously. Only after entering the Earth Immortal realm could she handle all the talismans at once.
This shows how poor the second generation Sect Leader was; during that period, he couldn’t even afford treasures and had to rely on divine weapons.
However, Cao Zhen had modified the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, so now the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman is a Yellow Level Upper Grade treasure.
With her current cultivation base, she can barely manage to control twenty-four talismans at once when exerting her full power.
The sixteen talismans fell silently, without causing any terrifying sound or spatial disturbance, merely floating around the trio. But these sixteen talismans vaguely formed a formation.
Righteous Gathering Thunder Talisman!
When helping her in reconfiguring the talismans, Cao Zhen, with Ling Xi’s assistance, had improved each talisman. For instance, Cao Zhen transformed the Thunderbolt-Gathering Symbol into the more suited Righteous Gathering Thunder Talisman, as Four Treasures Peak’s Thunderbolt Technique is the Five-thunder Righteous Method, which suits the Thunderbolt-Gathering Symbol more, hence having stronger power!
Although the three noticed the talismans beside them hadn’t attacked, the opponent utilizing such Yellow Level Upper Grade treasures couldn’t be meaningless!
“Quick, leave this place!”
The trio moved rapidly. However, during the movement, they were startled to find that no matter how they moved, the sixteen talismans always stayed at their side.
Even as they separated, heading in three different directions, they somehow couldn’t move outside a small range, remaining unable to distance themselves too far.
“Can’t leave!”
“Quick, bomb these talismans!”
Demonic qi gathered around the three, launching attacks towards the talismans ahead!
But upon impact, the sixteen talismans suddenly vibrated intensely, causing the entire formation map to shake, as talismans and the map had fully merged!
“This…”
The trio was completely stunned; the formation map was absorbing the talisman attacks, meaning to break the talismans, the map must be destroyed first!
Both the map and talismans are Yellow Level Upper Grade treasures, hardly easy to break!
As they moved, Cao Zhen also entered the formation map.
Suddenly, yet the map didn’t transmit any sense of constraint.
No constraint?
Even Cao Zhen was slightly puzzled; the map wouldn’t recognize its creator, nor can it form an artifact spirit yet.
Currently, Ling Xi is the map’s master, logically, anyone entering should be suppressed, himself included.
But the map was not suppressing him, why?
The formation suppresses based on an individual’s cultivation technique and Immortal Body.
As for himself…
He cultivates Chaos Qi, perhaps because it’s the origin of all energy, rendering specific suppression impossible?
It seems plausible.
Every type of qi derives from Chaos Qi, how can it be suppressed?
Ling Xi’s Supreme Unparalleled Formation Diagram cannot suppress him, implies no one else can too?
As thought occupied Cao Zhen, Ling Xi wore a peculiar expression, realizing her Supreme Unparalleled Formation Diagram wasn’t restraining her master.
She was slightly surprised but still shot a talisman towards her master.
When her master had modified the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, he specially crafted a Same Array Talisman; by shooting it onto someone, it ensures they won’t be suppressed by the Supreme Unparalleled Formation.
Her master now isn’t suppressed, thus doesn’t need the Same Array Talisman.
Without the Same Array Talisman, unless her Supreme Unparalleled Formation is broken, or she retracts the map, the master cannot fly out even if unconstrained.
Elsewhere, similarly hidden individuals watched as Cao Zhen and Ling Xi engaged, their expressions changed drastically.
“They found us!”
“Retreat!”
The assassins, not being death warriors, knew they must hastily retreat upon being detected.
As for the discovered three, they couldn’t care less!
They merely joined the assassin organization, killing isn’t like sect or great teaching, nor are they brothers, others’ deaths meant nothing to them.
Just as they intended to move, suddenly, the ground beneath them exploded violently, and a figure appeared in their sight.
Xiang Ziyu!
How did he suddenly emerge from underground? Earth Escape Technique?
Using Earth Escape Technique, they also should’ve detected him, so how did Xiang Ziyu appear silently?
Hiding directly underground, never flying out from the earth, Xiang Ziyu alone confronted them, yet their first reaction wasn’t combat, but continued fleeing backward.
