Chapter 775 - 769: Qin Feng Sets Up the Formation, Gathering the Ancient Demon God
The Four Symbols Pagoda transformed into a thousand feet of height, descending from the skies with boundless suppressive power.
Below the pagoda, the sixth-level Great Wizard Sajier suddenly faced such a scene and was instantly startled!
Even though he had previously seen many cultivators manipulate various kinds of magical treasure immortal artifacts to attack their opponents, especially with the Grand Sun Treasure Mirror floating above the head of the Chaotian Ancestor appearing like a sun that forced the Netherworld Fire Truth Wizard to dare not withstand directly, Sajier knew the power of a cultivator’s magical treasures.
But after all, that was just observing from a distance, and he had not personally felt it. At this moment, targeted by the pagoda and even being forced to withstand the suppressive power of the pagoda within a space of a thousand feet in radius, he truly understood how powerful the magical treasures in a cultivator’s hands could be.
Of course, he did not know that the Four Symbols Pagoda in Qin Feng’s hands was rather special, having been handled by two great powers, one of them being at the peak of the Eternal Realm.
Thus, the power of the Four Symbols Pagoda far surpassed ordinary immortal artifacts, having reached the Half-Step Immortal realm, with only half a step left to break through the shackles. This was somewhat similar to his Time Wand’s situation, which allowed it to exert such formidable power!
If it were only the suppression of the Four Symbols Pagoda, as a sixth-level Great Wizard with strong personal strength and the Time Wand in hand, Sajier might not necessarily be unable to withstand the Four Symbols Pagoda. At the very least, he would not be easily suppressed by it. However, looking at the enchanting Red Lotus Karma Fire surrounding him, the wizard immediately abandoned the idea of resisting.
The Red Lotus Karma Fire felt too dangerous; he dared not let these flames touch him. So, he quickly waved the Time Wand, the powerful Time Law spreading out as the Power of Time isolated both the Four Symbols Pagoda and the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Then, he cast a powerful witchcraft to break free from the imprisonment of the Four Symbols Pagoda and leaped out of the encirclement of the Red Lotus Karma Fire!
The Time Wand was a wand that the Netherworld Fire Truth Wizard had been meticulously crafting for nearly ten thousand years, its main material purportedly retrieved by a Wizard King from the Time River. Because the Netherworld Fire Truth Wizard once made great achievements, the wand was awarded to him.
An artifact that could withstand the erosion of the Time River without perishing was extremely rare in itself. Naturally treasuring it, the Netherworld Fire Truth Wizard used it as the ultimate treasure for crafting his wand, spending nearly ten thousand years on it. However, due to the lack of some critical materials, it never reached a perfect state.
Additionally, with the recent invasion of Canglan by cultivators, the formidable Truth Wizard felt the pressure, thus dedicating all his energy to researching Strange Insects, planning to take over the Divine Mountain before the cultivators and secure at least half of Canglan’s territory before conflicts with cultivators erupted. He also intended to establish Space Gates using the Divine Mountain’s world node. Even though material limitations meant he could not create a large Space Gate to directly connect to the Wizard World, he aimed to make contact with the worlds of other subordinate wizards to pull in reinforcements from the Wizard World in order to counter the cultivators!
Previously, when the situation occurred abruptly, and the Netherworld Fire went out to investigate, he hadn’t expected a battle to break out immediately. Moreover, since the Time Wand was only a semi-finished product and wouldn’t be much use in front of an equally powerful figure, he hadn’t carried it with him all the time, and to his surprise, his most trusted disciple had taken it.
Now, with Sajier holding the Time Wand, he continuously unleashed waves of the Power of Time, blocking Qin Feng’s various attacks to give himself a chance to retreat!
However, the impact of the Power of Laws was mutual. If two strong Laws collided, they could cancel out much of each other’s influence. The Four Symbols Pagoda, in terms of level, was not weaker than the Time Wand, so it was only slightly affected for a moment before quickly breaking through the barrier of the Power of Time, pressing down toward the wizard once again.
And with a single thought from Qin Feng, the Red Lotus Karma Fire suddenly split to either side, avoiding the area affected by the Time Law while also entangling the Sajier Wizard, preventing his escape.
At the same time, Qin Feng waved his hand grandly, summoning his numerous Spiritual Beasts to reveal themselves.
This time, not only the Main Spirit Beasts from the nine layers of space appeared, but also all their subordinate Spiritual Beasts were summoned by Qin Feng without exception, including the Mermaid armies from the sea areas within the second layer of the Beiming Immortal Mansion.
After landing on the ground, the Mermaids’ elongated fish tails transformed into legs. Although their strength was not as great on land as in the sea, at this moment, Qin Feng did not require these Mermaids to fight individually. They just needed to form the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation according to his will, to provide power.
The Ten Thousand Beasts Formation was the most powerful War Formation of the Beast Taming Sect, derived from the Ten Thousand Demons Battle Formation of the Heavenly Demon Realm.
Unlike other formations that required the same kind of Spiritual Beast or those with similar attributes to execute, the most significant feature of the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation was its ability to fuse the powers of various types of Spiritual Beasts, amassing the Ancient Demon God True Body. The more the Spiritual Beasts, the stronger the amassed power, and correspondingly more formidable the combat prowess of the Ancient Demon God True Body.
The only drawback was that when too many Spiritual Beasts with too diverse powers were part of the formation, Sect Cultivators would normally not dare to haphazardly deploy such an Array for fear that a loss of power control could lead to a backlash.
However, if mediated by two Ancestors, or commanded by a Peak of Profound Immortal expert well-versed in the Array Dao, the formation could utilize the power of all the Sect’s Spiritual Beasts to congeal an Ancient Demon God True Body capable of contending with Great Powers!
This was the best illustration of how a battle formation could enable the weak to overcome the strong, and why Array Dao has been enduring and obsessively studied by generations of Cultivators.
Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beasts, having all been subdued and refined by the Demon Refining Pot, lacked any potential for rebellion. Thus, there wouldn’t be any chaos in battle. With Qin Feng’s strength and the Demon Refining Pot for mediation, he could command his Spiritual Beasts to unleash a fraction of the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation’s might.
However, although the number of Spiritual Beasts under his command was already quite substantial compared to his peers, they were but a drop in the ocean for the entire Sect and counted for little.
Therefore, the Ten Thousand Beasts Formation that he orchestrated could not condense an Ancient Demon God True Body capable of contending with Great Powers but merely conjured a Demon God Illusion!
Yet, even as just an Illusion, it was still that of an Ancient Demon God, and its immense aura was still earth-shattering and terrifying to the extreme!
Not only did Sajier twitch his eyes upon seeing it, but even the Wizards who were embroiled in battle against All Immortals and Plant Gods high in the sky took a moment to glance over at the scene. Upon seeing Sajier facing the daunting Demon God Illusion alone, a sense of relief inexplicably rose within them.
Aside from the existence of Great Wizards Level Six and above, no Wizard could withstand the Demon God Illusion for long. Within a few moves, they would be brutally slain by the Illusion; even a Level Six Great Wizard would likely hesitate to claim they could withstand such formidable power head-on.
However, a few Wizards took a fleeting look and couldn’t help but frown.
Why does the magic wand in Sajier’s hand look somewhat familiar?
However, under the siege of all the immortals, they quickly dare not indulge in wild thoughts and concentrate on the battle at hand.
Sajier’s face looks ugly as he gazes at the huge Demon God Illusion. Originally disinclined to engage in battle, he now wants to distance himself from this cultivator who suddenly released a large number of spiritual beasts even more.
Tens of thousands of mermaid demon soldiers and hundreds of thousands of crow armies, along with various other spiritual beasts. Although their numbers are not quite a million, they aren’t far off.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had cultivated some curse witchcraft, and was certain that he wasn’t cursed with bad luck, he might have thought he’d been targeted by some curse deity!
Otherwise, who in their right mind would hide nearly a million demons on their person?
Moreover, the daily resource consumption needed to raise so many spiritual beasts is something that even an ordinary powerful person couldn’t afford, a fact Sajier is well aware of.
After all, the wizards had almost collected half of the monsters in Canglan over the years, and just feeding them enough not to starve was heart-wrenching.
Qin Feng didn’t care what this guy was thinking. He directly controlled the Demon God Illusion to step forward, and its massive claw swooped down toward the sixth-level Great Wizard.
The strike was menacing; before the claw even reached him, the sheer force of it cracked the void.
Startled, Sajier swiftly wielded the Time Wand, trying to block the enormous claw with layers of the Power of Time.
Unfortunately, even though Qin Feng only conjured the Ancient Demon God Illusion, it was an immensely powerful entity. With so many spiritual beasts and seven Demon Immortals, including a Life Tree that had ascended to Heavenly Immortal status, the collective power was enormous.
When strength reaches a certain level, it can break the restrictions of laws; this is the path those who focus on physical cultivation to Prove Dao through power take!
The claw of the Ancient Demon God Illusion cut through the barriers of Time Power like a hot knife through butter, reaching Sajier in an instant.
Sajier had underestimated the might of the Ancient Demon God Illusion and relied too much on the Time Wand, thinking he would have enough time to escape. Only at this moment did he realize that there was no space to evade in the face of absolute power.
In a rush, he poured his witch power into the Time Wand, holding it horizontally in front of him to reluctantly brace against the attack—a last resort.
The result was as soon as the claw met the wand, Sajier was sent flying dozens of miles, crashing heavily into a distant mountain, smashing through two peaks before finally halting.
Sajier shook his dazed head.
He hadn’t intended to use the force to escape; it’s just that the power of the Demon God Illusion was so great it surpassed his ability to use it to flee. Fortunately, he had the Time Wand; otherwise, even if he weren’t slapped to death, he would have been severely injured.
Just as Sajier recovered his senses and was going to flee from the cliff, he saw Qin Feng already directing the Demon God Illusion forward, killing him again.
“Damn it!”
Sajier cursed under his breath. After his recent experience, he knew the Demon God Illusion was too strong to confront directly. Although the Time Wand wasn’t his own and was a Witch Artifact that hadn’t been fully refined, he couldn’t possibly unleash its full power. So, with no other choice, he angrily wielded the wand once more to block the attack.
Boom…
The cliff crumbled, the earth split, and Seville Wizard spat blood from his mouth, being harshly slapped deep into the ground by the Demon God Illusion!
From the deep crater in the ground, Seville, better prepared this time and not disoriented, ignored his injuries and promptly used witchcraft to break through space and teleport away, barely evading the Demon God Illusion’s subsequent strike.
Then, desperately pouring his witch power into the Time Wand, he wielded it swiftly, spreading the Power of Time around him in the void. He then used the Power of Time to accelerate the passage of time around him, fleeing rapidly into the distance.
“Hmph!”
Qin Feng gave a cold snort!
Thinking you can still escape at this point?
Simply a dream!
