Chapter 113 Breaking the Formation
The reason why the forbidden formation is called the forbidden formation is that it does not distinguish between friend and foe and has great lethality.
The most terrifying thing is that with the nourishment of the flesh and blood and vitality of countless creatures, it has developed self-awareness and is greedy and bloodthirsty.
There was no life force to devour in the formation. The forbidden formation did not absorb enough life force and blood, so it became extremely ferocious and instantly devoured all the cultivators who opened the formation.
However, this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the energy it needs. It can feel the vigorous vitality outside the formation and is unwilling to fall asleep, so it wants to expand the scope of devouring.
However, restricted by the rules, its consciousness can only fall into chaos little by little without control.
"Right now—"
Liu Yishu captured that the consciousness was at its weakest moment and reminded Xu Weichen to take action.
Above the Feixian Pavilion, Xu Weichen, with the help of the power of the Water Spirit Pearl, exhausted all his spiritual power and attacked with all his strength, instantly razing the Feixian Pavilion to the ground and completely destroying the consciousness that gave birth to the Zhushen Formation.
The moment the formation was broken, the dark clouds dispersed, the sky reappeared, and it was clear.
Liu Yishu retracted his domain and collapsed directly into Xu Weichen's arms.
Using the domain was extremely exhausting, especially since he was still a remnant soul. However, without the domain, Xu Weichen would not be able to come and go freely in the God-Slaying Formation. Compared to their gains this time, this sacrifice was worth it.
"Master, I need to take a nap. I'll leave the rest to you." After saying that, Liu Yishu let himself fall into a deep sleep.
The moment the haze in the sky dissipated, the chosen ones who survived in Zuixian Tower all breathed a sigh of relief, and the pressure that had been shrouding them in the dark also dissipated along with the haze.
"The formation... is broken?" someone asked in disbelief.
"That's the God-Slaying Formation!" someone exclaimed.
"Maybe it's just dormant temporarily."
"Miss Yang, do you know something?" Among the immortal cultivators who survived the calamity, there was someone who had some friendship with Yang Jingshu, so he asked tentatively.
When he asked this question, all the cultivators present turned their eyes to Yang Jingshu.
If Yang Jingshu hadn't reminded them to break through here, they might have been swallowed up by the fierce formation. Thinking of this, Yang Jingshu indirectly saved their lives, and many people showed gratitude to her.
"Someone did remind me," Yang Jingshu said frankly, facing the eager and enthusiastic gazes of the crowd, and then said, "But before obtaining their consent, I cannot tell you their identities."
Although she has escaped from the formation, Yang Jingshu is still frightened.
Although they were considered the key training targets of the family sect because of their good qualifications, they had carried some life-saving items with them before coming to the royal city so that they would not be completely defenseless against the God-Slaying Formation, but during the time they were trying to escape from the formation under the pressure of the formation, they still lost a lot of their cultivation and vitality.
According to Liu Yishu, this is not the true strength of the God-Slaying Formation, but a castrated version without 100,000 sacrifices.
If they were facing a real God-Slaying Formation, they might not be so lucky.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard someone ask, "Do you feel that the power of this God-Slaying Formation is different from what is recorded in ancient books? Legend has it that the God-Slaying Formation can kill all immortals and gods. Although we are in danger in the formation today, it is not even one-tenth of what is said in the legend. Is the legend wrong, or is this not the real God-Slaying Formation?"
It’s because there are 100,000 fewer sacrifices.
"The fewer the sacrifices, the less powerful it is."
It was because of Liu Yishu's words that Yang Jingshu roughly guessed the purpose of the 100,000 little puppets.
However, it is just a guess. To replace 100,000 ordinary people with 100,000 small puppets overnight without alerting the Suzaku Dynasty, especially the Red Flame Ancestor who holds the magical weapon, is something that ordinary cultivators cannot do.
I wonder if the one who is capable of doing this is Immortal Lord Liu, who has been negotiating with her, or God Lord Xu, who has been watching from the sidelines as if he was not involved?
Yang Jingshu couldn't see through these two people.
But this is not important. What is important is that the master and disciple can even break the God-Slaying Formation, and the people of the Suzaku Dynasty have not intervened so far. Does that mean that they can also obtain the Suzaku Seal?
Thinking that she might soon see the artifact with her own eyes, or even touch it, Yang Jingshu's face flushed with excitement.
"Miss Yang?"
"Miss Yang?!"
Her fantasies were interrupted by a shout. Yang Jingshu frowned and looked at the person who called her. It was a member of the Zhao family, one of the four great families.
"What are you thinking about, Miss Yang? Why do you look like a girl in love?" As both were daughters of aristocratic families, the two families were somewhat friendly, so the other party spoke more casually. Seeing Yang Jingshu's blushing face, he joked.
What is a girl in love? Can there be a Suzaku seal fragrance?
"Since the God-Slaying Formation has been broken and no one from the Suzaku Dynasty has shown up, why don't you take this opportunity to leave?" Yang Jingshu said bluntly.
"How can you be sure that the God-Slaying Formation has been broken? What if this is just an illusion to deceive us?" someone asked.
They were unable to confirm this, so even if the daylight reappeared and the pressure dissipated, they dared not take any action, hoping that Yang Jingshu, who knew the truth, could give them reassurance.
"If you don't leave, I will." How could Yang Jingshu not understand their little thoughts, but she was worried that revealing too much would expose the master and disciple, especially now that the Vermillion Bird Seal might have changed hands, which she couldn't let outsiders know, so she simply took practical action to prove that the formation had been broken and it was safe outside.
Yang Jingshu left in a flash, and the rest of the people looked at each other for a moment, and when they saw Yang Jingshu not coming back, some of them left one after another. Some went to Feixian Pavilion, some went to the palace, and some went out of the city directly.
Soon, most of the immortal cultivators who had gathered in Zuixian Tower left, leaving only a few who were unable to move because they did not trust Yang Jingshu and were slower in breaking the formation, had their blood and vitality devoured, and had difficulty moving.
Hu Yu is one of them.
He hated Yang Jingshu so much that he naturally didn't believe her words at first. However, as the others broke the formation and left, the pressure he faced became greater and greater, so he had to leave. This delay cost him half of his cultivation and half of his life.
After escaping here, he found that Master Xu Weichen and his disciple were not there. He maliciously speculated in his heart whether the master and disciple had died in the God-Slaying Formation, but subconsciously felt that the person who reminded Yang Jingshu might be Xu Weichen.
Such thoughts made him feel like a thorn in his throat and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
Then he thought of the task his father gave him before he left.
Even if the Suzaku Dynasty activated the God-Slaying Formation to take his life, there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. As long as they knew that the God-Slaying Formation was broken by Master Xu Weichen and his disciples, why worry about not being able to form an alliance?
