Wang Yu
Chapter 1081 Saving Each Other's Lives
Inscribed on the archway were dense runes, seven or eight of which were shimmering with pale golden light. Within the archway was a dark red light curtain, crisscrossed with nine dark golden chains.
Upon closer inspection, one would notice that the nine dark golden chains were also engraved with dense, fish scale-like runes, emitting a powerful restraining force.
"Lei Daoyou, how is it? Can you break this Nine Dragons God Locking Formation?" Jin Liu looked at Lei Yuce, who had a solemn expression, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, and inquired.
Lei Yuce did not answer immediately, but whispered a few words to Wen Zhong, and then said,
"This Nine Dragons God Locking Formation has been tampered with. It won't be easy to break. It will take some time."
"How long will it take?" Su Anqian asked with a slight frown.
"This formation is complex to begin with. Just slightly altering one dragon scale rope doubles the complexity of the breaking method. At least four of the restrictions here have been altered… It will probably take two to three days to open it." Lei Yuce pondered for a moment and said.
"Two to three days? That's too long!" Jin Liu exclaimed.
"If Jin Daoyou has another way to break the formation, you can do it yourself." Wen Zhong said with displeasure, raising his eyebrows.
Jin Liu choked, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but ultimately said nothing.
His talent in formations was actually quite ordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have mistaken the Star Palace confrontation formation for the Yin-Yang Locking Formation before. Naturally, he couldn't break this Nine Dragons God Locking Formation now.
The Lan Yuanzi siblings exchanged glances and shook their heads. Neither of them knew the method to unlock this formation, so they said nothing.
Lei Yuce glanced at Jin Liu and then at Su Anqian, his expression softening slightly, and said,
"Forget it, I have another method that I can try, but I'm not very confident in its success."
"Since there is a method, we should naturally try it. Otherwise, continuing to delay like this is not a good solution." Jin Liu said immediately, frowning.
"You say it so lightly. Lei Shixiong is talking about forcibly breaking the formation. Carelessness could injure oneself. How can you try it casually?" Wen Zhong also became somewhat angry and reprimanded.
Upon hearing this, Su Anqian's eyes flickered, and she looked at Lei Yuce, her expression changing slightly.
"In that case, we can only wait…" Jin Liu stroked his chin and frowned.
"Lei Daoyou, if the risk is too great, waiting two more days is fine." Su Anqian said to Lei Yuce.
"Su Xianzi, rest assured, I can give it a try." Lei Yuce suddenly said upon hearing this.
A trace of helplessness flashed in Wen Zhong's eyes. He opened his mouth, intending to dissuade him, but knowing it would be useless, he remained silent.
"To break this formation as soon as possible, we can only use formation to break formation, that is, use the Six Harmonies Wilderness Opening Formation to forcibly prop open the Nine Dragons God Locking Formation, temporarily creating a passage from within, so I need your assistance." Lei Yuce said after thinking for a while.
"I also know a thing or two about the Six Harmonies Wilderness Opening Formation. This formation is far from the level of the Nine Dragons God Locking Formation in front of us. How can it prop open the restriction and establish a stable passage?" Jin Liu said with a frown upon hearing this.
"This formation alone is naturally not enough. Later, I will use the Nine Dragons Pearl as the formation core to start the formation. After the great formation is running, I will need everyone's full assistance." Lei Yuce glanced at Jin Liu and said.
"Nine Dragons Pearl? If there is such a treasure, there may be a chance to break the formation." Jin Liu nodded and said.
"My brother and I will do our best." Lan Yuanzi cupped his fist and said.
Su Anqian did not speak, but simply nodded lightly.
Seeing this, Lei Yuce flipped his hand and took out formation flags, formation stones, and other items for setting up the formation, and began to arrange them outside the stone archway.
Wen Zhong assisted and helped. Before long, the prototype of a hexagonal formation appeared.
Afterwards, the two buried the formation stones in the ground and inserted the formation flags in their respective positions, and the Six Harmonies Wilderness Opening Formation was set up.
"Everyone, the formation is complete, please enter the formation to assist." Lei Yuce said after checking it again.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood on the six corners of the hexagonal formation according to the formation arrangement, pinched their fingers in a spell, and waited for Lei Yuce to start the formation.
Lei Yuce stood on a corner closest to the stone archway, glanced at the adjacent Su Anqian, and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, he turned his wrist, and a fist-sized purple ball flew out from the void, spinning and falling towards the center of the Six Harmonies Wilderness Opening Formation.
Countless electric threads were wrapped around the purple ball, and nine dragon-shaped imprints wandered endlessly on the surface of the ball, with a faint rumbling sound resounding from within.
Seeing the Nine Dragons Pearl in place, Lei Yuce's eyes narrowed, and a chanting sound immediately rang out from his mouth.
Upon seeing this, everyone also chanted spells, pinched their fingers, and pointed remotely at the purple ball.
Six rays of various colors burst out from the fingertips of several people and gathered on the purple ball, making a "buzz" sound.
Immediately afterwards, the Nine Dragons Pearl surged with electric light, and countless purple lightning threads gushed out from it, turning into a purple light curtain that filled the entire Six Harmonies Wilderness Opening Formation.
"Aooo…"
Accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar, the nine dragon shadows on the Nine Dragons Pearl instantly flew out, and after wandering in the purple electric light curtain of the Six Harmonies Wilderness Opening Formation, their bodies surged with electric light, turning into nine purple electric dragons about ten feet long, rushing straight towards the circular archway.
With a loud "boom".
The circular archway shook violently, and the dark red light curtain inside began to tremble violently after being flooded by the nine electric dragons.
Seeing this, everyone immediately focused their minds and poured their immortal spiritual power into it with all their strength.
"Zizz…"
As the sound of electric light surged, a hole the size of a human head began to appear in the center of the dark red light curtain, vaguely revealing another space behind it.
"It's open… Quick, put in more effort." Jin Liu said happily upon seeing this.
"This is just the opening of a part of the teleportation gate. The Nine Dragons God Locking Formation has not been broken yet, do not be careless…" Lei Yuce reminded while urging the formation with all his strength.
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine dark golden dragon scale ropes tied to the dark red light curtain suddenly shone brightly, and layers of dragon scale-shaped golden light fluctuations gushed out from them, covering the entire light curtain inside the door.
The golden light and purple electricity mixed together, from which came a chaotic vortex force, tearing the surrounding heaven and earth vitality towards the empty cave that appeared in the center.
In the center of the cave, the blurred scenery inside could no longer be seen. All that could be seen was a deep black curtain, from which came the violent aura of space turbulence.
Lei Yuce and the others, who were in the formation, could also feel the terror of that power, and their expressions changed.
"It seems that we have underestimated the power of the Nine Dragons God Locking Formation. While the power of the restriction has not been completely activated, everyone should remain consistent and withdraw the immortal spiritual power together, and there will be no danger." Lei Yuce shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, an anomaly occurred.
With a "boom" sound, the black vortex in the center of the stone archway suddenly shook violently, and a violent force burst out from it, instantly impacting in all directions.
At the same time, the golden light on the nine dark golden dragon scale ropes bound inside the door flashed, and nine golden dragon phantoms suddenly shot out from them, rushing towards the crowd who arranged the Six Harmonies Wilderness Opening Formation.
Several people only felt an unspeakable terrifying force impacting them. Seeing this, Jin Liu didn't care about maintaining the formation and took the lead in escaping. The Lan siblings also withdrew closely behind.
As soon as these three withdrew, the entire great formation could no longer be maintained and directly collapsed.
The Nine Dragons Pearl in the center of the formation also instantly lost control. A black electric light flashed across the surface, and a dazzling black light lit up from it, directly exploding.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Zhong also withdrew. Only Lei Yuce and Su Anqian, who were closest to the stone archway, were left in the entire great formation, sandwiched between the golden dragon phantom and the purple-black lightning, unable to retreat.
The reactions of the two were extremely fast, but unfortunately they were too close, and they did not have time to use too many methods.
"Su Xianzi…"
Lei Yuce called out almost without hesitation. At the same time, lightning flashed on his body. Before a set of silver thunder armor could condense, his figure had flashed over, blocking Su Anqian.
Accompanied by a loud "boom", the golden light and lightning outside the entire stone archway completely exploded.
Jin Liu and the others' expressions changed again and again. They had already withdrawn to a very far distance, but their eyes were fixed on the movement at the explosion site.
A golden sun and a purple-black sun rose there at the same time, resisting each other and making continuous rumbling sounds. The golden light and electric threads溅射 from them stirred up the heaven and earth vitality within a hundred miles, making it impossible to settle down.
This chaotic scene lasted for dozens of breaths before the two rays of light gradually converged, and the ground gradually returned to calm.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and a huge scorched pit appeared on the ground. Almost all the surrounding golden sand was scorched and melted, and after cooling, it formed large, irregularly shaped golden cakes.
Outside the deep pit, the stone archway still stood alone in place, without any scars, and had returned to its original state.
Seeing this, Jin Liu and the others flew back and looked down at the edge of the scorched pit, only to see at the bottom of the pit a tall figure, scorched all over, was holding a slightly petite figure in his arms, protecting her tightly.
The tall figure was naturally Lei Yuce. The silver thunder armor on his body had completely melted, turning into a silver liquid flowing all over the ground. The clothes on his body were also covered with scorch marks and were tattered.
His back was rising and falling violently, and the aura on his entire body was very unstable, and it seemed that he had suffered extremely serious injuries.
And Su Anqian, who was sheltered in his arms, had no scars on her body except that her clothes were slightly damaged.
