Outside the Grand Formation of Magical Treasures, the observers of the battle were shocked to see Xu Fang repeatedly defeat powerful beings like Kun Peng.
"The might of this Grand Formation of Magical Treasures, even if I were within it, would be difficult to resist," Tong Tian mused and spoke.
Once the Grand Formation of Magical Treasures was activated, the treasures within acted as if alive, capable of attacking enemies independently, with Xu Fang at the core, directing the commands.
The best method of breaking it was to kill Xu Fang, thus dismantling the formation.
However, Kun Peng and the others had already proven this approach futile.
As long as Xu Fang hid within the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, consolidating the power of all the treasures, he could withstand any offense, remaining as steady as a mountain.
As a second-best option, attempting to attack the formation's barrier to break out was also impossible.
This was akin to directly attacking Xu Fang; with the combined might of the treasures bolstering it, the barrier was impregnable.
The final recourse seemed to be to damage the treasures within, thereby weakening the power of the Grand Formation.
However, not only were the treasures elusive, making them impossible to catch, but even when surrounded, they would mysteriously vanish.
Just like the powerful beings such as Kun Peng moments ago, who were certain of victory and on the verge of destroying three treasures, only to be slapped in the face.
After this ordeal, the treasures no longer concealed themselves, instead utilizing their divine abilities to become even more elusive, leaving Kun Peng and the other powerful beings in a state of utter disarray and exhaustion from trying to cope.
Tong Tian, contemplating, believed that not only himself, but even his three brothers of Sanqing, would be helpless if they were in this situation. The only course of action would likely be to wear Xu Fang down, seeing who could last the longest.
Of course, during this time, they would continuously be subjected to attacks from the treasures, unable to guard against them, requiring constant vigilance and consuming immense energy.
Meanwhile, Xu Fang, hidden within the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, calmly directed from behind the scenes, making it clear who would eventually prevail.
"Enough, no need to think so much. Fortunately, I bear no enmity or grievance with Fellow Daoist Xu Fang."
Tong Tian breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin.
"However, there are some people with ulterior motives, hehe!"
Hearing these words, Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin felt a pang of bitterness. They forced a smile, their faces creased with an awkward expression.
"What are you saying, Daoist? Although we have some misunderstandings with Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, we would never oppose him."
"Indeed, indeed. Harmony is paramount, harmony is paramount!"
As Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin spoke these words, their hearts were filled with dismay.
"Good heavens, Xu Fang, you had so many hidden trump cards. It's fortunate we didn't act rashly and join those powerful beings in kicking him while he was down, otherwise we would be trapped there now."
"Daoist, all meetings must eventually end. I have matters to attend to in the West. May we take our leave?"
Daoist Zhun Ti tentatively proposed, preparing to depart.
"Yes! Daoist, let us part ways here. We shall meet again!"
Daoist Jie Yin quickly echoed, finding this unpredictable Xu Fang truly difficult to handle.
Having witnessed Xu Fang's capabilities, they no longer desired the Yellow Midday Plum, nor did they want Penglai Immortal Island.
They simply wished to leave this place quickly, to put as much distance as possible between themselves and Xu Fang, lest he set his sights on them.
"What's the hurry? We are all old acquaintances. Wait until Fellow Daoist Xu Fang finishes his fight, and then we can have a good chat!"
Tong Tian, with a Westerner in each hand, restrained Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin and spoke.
"A chat?"
Daoist Zhun Ti and Daoist Jie Yin exchanged a look, filled with bitterness. What deep conversations could they possibly have with Xu Fang? They hoped he wouldn't seek retribution later!
Although their plan to seize Penglai Immortal Island had not been implemented due to Tong Tian's surveillance, they had previously fanned the flames enthusiastically. How could Xu Fang let them off the hook?
However, at this moment, their minds were set on leaving, and they were stirring restlessly. The hand Tong Tian placed on their shoulders glowed, also eager to make a move.
They knew they were no match for Tong Tian, and even a combined effort would yield no advantage. Thus, they had no choice but to suppress the thoughts in their hearts.
"So be it, so be it. If it is fate, we cannot avoid it."
Tai Shang and Tong Tian both praised Xu Fang's performance.
Like Tong Tian, they believed that even their three brothers of Sanqing, working together, could not break such a formation.
"It seems that in the future, we should also cultivate closer relations with Fellow Daoist Xu Fang!"
Tai Shang spoke. He, who had always been a man of few words, now spoke a great deal, all of it in praise of Xu Fang.
"Indeed, Elder Brother's words are most wise."
Yuanshi nodded repeatedly. Although Xu Fang's origins were humble, and among the powerful beings of the Primordial Era, he was not even worth mentioning, considered at the bottom rung.
Yet, this being, with such a lowly origin, far inferior to those of heaven and earth, had managed to suppress a host of powerful beings with a Grand Formation of Magical Treasures, rendering them unable to lift their heads.
Thus, even Yuanshi, who paid close attention to one's origins, looked upon Xu Fang with a newfound respect, making an exception for him and not exhibiting his usual species discrimination.
Seeing that these two were lavishing praise on Xu Fang, the faces of the two demon race brothers, Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi, showed displeasure.
They had originally intended to use others as a weapon to kill Xu Fang, and apart from the slight regret of not being able to kill him personally, everything else was going well.
However, seeing the powerful beings within the Grand Formation of Magical Treasures groaning in despair, it was clear these fellows were unreliable.
Even with these powerful beings now gathered together, they could not contend with Xu Fang's elusive magical treasures.
What's more, with Zhen Yuan Zi and others lurking nearby, cooperating with the magical treasures in combat, it made the situation even more dire for the assembled powerful beings.
"Truly a disgrace to the powerful beings! How can these fellows be so useless?"
Dong Huang Tai Yi couldn't help but complain, "If it were me, any Grand Formation of Magical Treasures would be shattered with a single strike from the Chaos Bell!"
Hearing this, the Chaos Bell immediately shouted aloud.
"These are Dong Huang Tai Yi's personal remarks and do not represent my views or stance. Please note this, magical treasures over there!"
This fellow wants to court death himself, so don't drag me into it!
If those magical treasures misunderstand, will they request Xu Fang to directly cover this area with his Grand Formation and discipline me?
Hearing this, Di Jun tugged at Dong Huang Tai Yi, signaling him to stop talking.
Dong Huang Tai Yi snapped back to attention. His two accomplices from Xu Fang's side were still here!
However, Tai Shang and Yuanshi glanced over and smiled.
"So, Fellow Daoist Tai Shang is confident? Then how about going over and fighting?"
"Heh heh! Such confidence, I greatly admire it. Please!"
The three of Sanqing admitted their inferiority. This Dong Huang Tai Yi was too arrogant. If you're so capable, go ahead and try, let's see how you die!
Hearing this, Dong Huang Tai Yi took a step back, pretending he hadn't said anything. I am, after all, the Emperor of the Demon Race. Isn't it normal for me to brag a little?
Seeing this, Tai Shang and Yuanshi burst into laughter, both looking at the Demon Race with disdain and mockery.
Di Jun frowned, but in the end, he said no more. He looked up at the sky.
Forget it, forget it. These powerful beings are still not up to par. It still requires our Demon Race to take action!
