Chapter 1063 – No Chance
*Kabrum!*
A flash of lightning briefly illuminated the dark domain before hitting one of the unaware hunters.
*Arrrrgh!*
Soon after, everything became dark once again as a charred body fell to the ground. Rean did not show any mercy when he built this formation. After all, he knew that the other side was going to kill everyone except for Langara.
Volrei was one of the hunters who saw the lightning strike. It was really powerful to the point that even he, a Peak Stage Saint Realm Cultivator, might have died if he failed to defend. Immediately, he spread his Divine Sense to talk with the hunters in the formation. 'Everyone, charge out! Use all your strongest skills to break through the barrier!'
The hunters also understood the predicament they were in and followed Volrei's orders.
'Myriad Blazing Spears!'
'Earth's Destruction!'
'Thunder Line!'
'Raging…'
*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…*
Skills began to fly everywhere around the formation, hitting the barrier that stopped the hunters from leaving its range. However…
*Kabrum! Kabrum!*
Two more bolts of lightning came out of nowhere, killing one cultivator and seriously injuring the other, who was able to partially defend himself. As for the barrier keeping them inside the Slaughtering Formation, it didn't even budge!
"I can't even see if I caused any damage to it or not!"
"Do our attacks even have any effect?!"
"Continue attacking, dammit!"
Volrei began to feel nervous. Somehow, he could tell that the barrier wasn't moving.
*Kabrum!*
*Arrrrgh!*
"Why?! How can a formation built in such a hurry be this strong?!" Volrei cursed before he continued to attack.
Rean, of course, could see everything inside the Death World. He looked at the cultivators attacking the barrier covering his formations nonstop. 'Hmph! If it was any other time, I would have big trouble building something this resistant. Unfortunately for all of you, you really selected the worst place possible to catch up to us.'
Rean then looked at the area around him in satisfaction. 'This location is very susceptible to Lightning Element. Since Circuitry Formations rely mostly on the Lightning Element, it helped a lot with the formation's construction. I wonder if this has something to do with the karma threads the fairy talked about as well.'
Rean then looked at the core of the formation under his feet. There, three thousand Rank One Divine Stones were gathered! At the same time, tens of them would break into dust due to their energy having been used. 'Last but not least, that hunter friend of yours helped me a lot by leaving behind these Divine Stones. With this amount of Divine Energy, the environmental advantage, and the Circuitry Formation Runes, I was able to create such a formation just in time for your arrival.'
Indeed. If it was anywhere else, Rean would be hard-pressed to build something even half as efficient as this Slaughtering Formation. The Saint Realm hunters would then have more than enough strength to defend themselves or break through the barrier.
*Kabrum, kabrum, kabrum…*
Lightning bolts came from everywhere, ground, sky, the barrier… It was impossible to tell from where it would hit them. All they could see was the flash of light left behind by those bolts the moment they were created. If one was lucky enough to be facing the right position, one might be able to defend in time. Nevertheless, even this would be difficult, not to mention that most would become seriously injured even if they did.
Langara and Fatax were allowed by Rean and Roan to also watch what was happening in the formation. In the end, they couldn't help but be astounded by what Rean had made. They truly didn't believe a formation made so quickly would harness such power. However, while watching, Langara couldn't help but think to herself, 'I know a little about formations myself after living for so many years. Still, this is the first time I've seen such type of runes.'
After more than two thousand Rank One Divine Stones were used, there was only one hunter still alive in the formation. As one could imagine, he was the leader among the hunters, Volrei. He wasn't looking good, though. There were charred marks everywhere in his body, and he could barely stand at the moment. "E-Enough! I surrender! P-Please, Matriarch! I'm only doing it because I truly believe it is the best for the clan!"
Rean then controlled the Slaughtering Formation to not launch any more lightning bolts before he looked at Langara and asked her, "That's your clan member. What you wanna do?"
Langara narrowed her eyes, but in the end, she sighed. "Lift the formation. Also, don't let him know you are part of the Royal Family."
Rean and Roan nodded before the Death World disappeared. At the same time, the Lightning Formation turned off together with the inner barrier. Of course, Rean kept the outer barrier activated, just in case Volrei had a method to escape.
Volrei then looked at Langara and bitterly smiled. "There's no way you could have prepared such a trap without knowing about us. Was it on purpose that you left the clan? Just to gather a few of the Clan Head's hunters and get rid of them?"
Langara shook her head as she responded, "I had absolutely no idea that you guys were after me. I truly thought I had left the clan without anyone noticing. It came as a surprise that you guys had done something to me during one of my Soul Successions that could be used to track me down. Five days ago, I had no idea about it."
Volrei was taken aback to hear that. "Then, how were you able to prepare this formation this quickly? I had to be here already, no?"
Langara shook her head. "How I did it or if it was here ahead of time doesn't matter. Now, show me. What is the thing you're using to track me down?"
Volrei knew he didn't have a chance to escape, so he could only comply.. With that, he took the crystal compass out of his spatial ring.
