Chapter 417: 232_1
Although many people have formation maps, they were well aware that their formations wouldn’t hold up; mostly they were constructed by Throne Strong Individuals. To resist millions of demon beasts, at the very least the map should be constructed by a Strong Dominator, better yet, by a Sanctuary Powerhouse. That way, it would be unbreakable.
Upon seeing everyone glancing at each other, several Throne figures frowned: “I’m saying, does no one have it? Giving out formation map isn’t like giving out spirit stones which would disappear; it can still be used afterwards. Isn’t it better to share it now for emergency use? For survival, stop hiding it.”
Among these three thousand people, many were from great clans and large sects. They might not be able to produce a decent formation map, but they were reluctant to let other people know about it. A good formation map could match the value of a sect, and many people would rather risk death than give it out.
“Let’s start with an example. I have a formation invented by a Strong Dominator. The strength of the formation should be in the Throne Realm, with a total of a hundred and thirty spirit points, which makes it rather complex.”
A throne figure waved his hand and brought out a formation. Everyone was stunned at his audacity; he actually brought out this precious formation for everyone to observe. While not everyone could learn it, as long as they remembered it, they could slowly study it.
Once someone offered theirs, others naturally couldn’t stand by empty-handed. However, they fell into a stalemate. The first person’s formation was constructed by a Dominator, so their formations simply couldn’t compare. Many of theirs were only in the Transcending Realm, and their formation strength was limited to the Throne Realm.
The Throne figure who took out the formation earlier changed his expression slightly, while someone quickly complained: “It’s not that we don’t want to take out the formation map. Now that we’ve reached this point, who would want to keep hiding it? The key issue is, our formations aren’t really impressive.”
“That’s all right, I will also contribute a formation map. It was created by a Dominator, but that Dominator is already a half-step saint, so it contains a trace of saintly power. Its power is extraordinary, and the formation cannot be easily constructed; it requires at least the Dominating Realm.”
A person from the crowd stepped out, standing out among the crowd: “After years of research, I was able to construct it with the power of the Throne. However, I need to borrow the help of a hundred other people. There are three thousand of us here, so this shouldn’t be a problem.”
“It’s already a half-step Saint formation; is there anything more powerful?” The Throne Strong Individual scanned the crowd to ask. At this point, there was only two-and-a-half hours left till night. If there was nothing better, they would need to start arranging the formation; there was no more time to waste. Once night fell, the millions of demon beasts would return.
All three thousand people shook their heads. They had already reached the half-step saint stage, unless they knew a Sanctuary Powerhouse, it would be impossible to outdo them. Knowing a Sanctuary Powerhouse, they wouldn’t have to participate in this test.
“Fine, let’s start constructing the formation now. The three thousand of us will work together. The fate of us living or dying is up to the heavens. Anyhow, we have done what we could, so there’s no need to complain anymore. Even if we die, it’s worth it, at least we didn’t back down in the face of millions of fierce beasts nor lose our courage out of fear.”
Following the command, the three thousand people began to construct the formation on a massive scale. Each one of them is putting in their full effort, considering their lives were at stake. No one was slack or lazing around.
Two hours passed. With a total of 1.3 Million Spirit Stones being used, the formation of the half-step Saint was finally ready. The remaining 20,000 Spirit Stones were used to amplify the formation, forming more than a dozen attack rules. This formation now only has strong defensive power but also an ability to counterattack the demon beasts.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Logan was secretly observing the situation with his divine skill. He was filled with emotions and couldn’t help but look at the others with admiration. He had previously thought they were just about average, but their high morale had shown him the strength of these three thousand people.
“The formation is stronger than before, capable of blocking a hundred thousand demon beasts, but against a million, it would collapse instantly. Admirable courage, but it’s all in vain. If we had laid out the plans earlier on, it wouldn’t have been like this now.”
Shangguan Bowe was startled and asked in disbelief: “Really? Does that mean none of these three thousand people will survive? Isn’t that a bit too cruel? No matter how hostile we are, we’re all human cultivators.”
He felt some reluctance in his heart, thinking back to the ten thousand proud people that had come, and now they had all fallen. Perhaps only a few of them could safely leave. This heavy sacrifice and cost were hard to accept. Those three thousand people had indeed made great efforts, and he had seen it all.
Logan shrugged and continued: “On the last day, the wrath of a million demon beasts will increase once again, in their attempt to devour everyone. Even the Sovereign Demonic Beasts will show up, because they’re very smart and know that once the three-day period passes, the barrier of the mountain range will disintegrate.”
“Of course, if these three thousand people had bought my formation during the day, they wouldn’t even fear the Sovereign Demonic Beasts. Unfortunately, they failed to recognize the value of my formation, which was in fact crafted by a Sanctuary Powerhouse.”
His words were true. Everything he got was from the opportunities given by a fallen Sanctuary Powerhouse during the last illusionary realm. All the techniques they taught were recorded in a book, now suspended in his Spiritual Sense Sea. As a result, Logan had gained a thorough understanding of both formation maps and the creation of elixirs.
Night fell again. When the last sliver of light disappeared, the endless dark night filled with the rules of darkness. The demon beasts, who had been continuously weakening, suddenly had their strength terrifyingly amplified, along with their boundless anger and desire for revenge. Even their bloodline powers started to return to their ancestors.
A million demon beasts gathered together, seemingly wanting to devour everything. Even the Heavenly Dao from high above might hesitate and back off three steps in fear; because a million demon beasts, sprawling nearly ten miles, were coming towards them with dark waves of more demon beasts following.
At the forefront of the million demon beasts were the most mighty dozen beasts. They were the strongest among the million, with each one having entered the Dominator Realm. The most powerful one was even a half-step away from the Saint’s Seat. It was this beast that led the hordes of demon beasts surging forward.
Due to their failure yesterday, a half-step Saint-level Monster had come to lead them this time. Once again, they arrived in front of Logan’s defensive array, vowing to break through the array that day and devour the rest one by one.
Shangguan Bowe was frightened. He looked at Logan tremblingly and asked: “Can this formation withstand a million demon beasts? Particularly a half-step Saint-level Monster?”
