"Senior Brother Chu, Junior Sister Xu, how have you two rested? Thank you for your hard work in yesterday's battle in the abyss. "
Zhao Shi chuckled when he saw the two approaching. He stood up and welcomed them into the pavilion, then personally poured two cups of dark green spirit tea for them.
"If Junior Brother Zhao hadn't activated the protective formation at the critical moment, I'm afraid we would've died long ago. Junior Brother Zhao, you've truly worked hard."
Chu Chen nodded with a smile and didn't refuse. He pulled Zi Xi to the table and sat down.
"I'm sure the two of you have many questions for me since you've come here?"
Zhao Shi smiled honestly and handed the sparkling jade teacups to the two. "So, feel free to ask. I'll tell you everything I know."
A gust of mountain wind blew, dispersing much of the fog in the Immortal Abode.
Chu Chen nodded and motioned for Zi Xi to ask first.
"Is this protective formation the legendary Ten Terminal Formation of the Celestial and Demon?"
The girl's eyes flashed as she asked softly.
"That's right. It's the strongest protective formation in the legends of our Duxu Peak. It was also once the strongest formation in the entire Dark Demon Sect, the Ten Terminal Formation of the Celestial and Demon."
Zhao Shi nodded, his voice carrying a hint of sigh.
"The Ten Terminal Formation of the Celestial and Demon is one of the strongest divine formations of the Primordial Demon Sect. It gathers the power of the ten spirits of heaven, earth, god, immortal, dragon, human, ghost, demon, demon, and insect. When this formation is activated, it can seal all directions, past and future, as well as the enemy's spirit sense and physical body. It's called the 'Ten Terminal Formations'. "
"However, the current Ten Terminal Formation is far less powerful than it was in the past. What I want to know is, how much of the formation's power is left?" Zi Xi frowned slightly.
"Although the Ten Terminal Formation's power is limitless, it's been through far too long. Moreover, it's been damaged many times in the ancient war."
Zhao Shi shook his head helplessly and continued with a wry smile.
"Therefore, today's Ten Terminal Formation's power is only at the tip of the iceberg. Even the power of the 'ten spirits' has been severely damaged. Now, I can only summon an incomplete Demon Dragon's spirit. Even so, the Ten Terminal Formation is not something that a few peak masters can destroy. We are still very safe for the time being. "
"The key question is, how long can this formation last?"
At this moment, Chu Chen finally asked the question that had been bothering him. He took a deep breath.
"Although I don't know much about this Ten Ultimate Formations of the Celestial Demons, I do know that it seems to draw support from the earth veins of our Duxu Peak. After the Duxu Peak was cut in half, the earth veins were severely damaged. I'm afraid … "
"Senior Brother Chu's eyesight is indeed very good. I can't hide anything from you."
Zhao Shi put down the teacup in his hand and nodded with a bitter smile. He sighed helplessly. "According to my estimation, I'm afraid this broken formation can only last for seven days at most …"
"Only seven days?"
Chu Chen frowned. The time was obviously less than he thought. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked, "How long will it take for the peak master of our peak to return?"
"According to past experience, there should be fifteen days."
Zhao Shi thought carefully for a moment and said slowly, "The peak master's return date is very fixed. It hasn't changed in the past hundreds of years. There shouldn't be any changes."
Chu Chen immediately fell silent. The formation could only last for seven days, and the peak master of the Duxu Peak needed fifteen days to return.
When the power of the formation dissipated, how was he going to defend against the joint attack of seven peak masters?
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly became a little heavy. The situation seemed to have returned to a deadlock.
Zi Xi's beautiful eyebrows knitted together and asked softly, "Then what can we do to survive the remaining eight days? Has the Duxu Peak ever experienced something like this before? How did we survive that time? "
"Although the Duxu Peak was bullied in every possible way in the past, it has never reached this stage. At that time, everyone would at most go out and hide for a few days on the day of the Spirit Peak's awakening and come back after that period. Although we wouldn't be able to enjoy that opportunity, we wouldn't be in danger of losing our lives. "
Zhao Shi smiled bitterly and sighed again.
"I can't think of anything at the moment. I can only wish everyone good luck …"
"Mm, I understand. In that case, we'll take our leave first."
Chu Chen nodded and didn't say anything more. He took Zi Xi's hand and left.
Seeing the two figures gradually disappear from sight, an old figure silently walked to Zhao Shi's side. He glanced into the distance and a look of helplessness flashed across his eyes.
This person was Zhao Shi's old servant. He asked in a low voice.
"If the Ten Terminal Formation of Gods and Demons is destroyed, Second Senior Brother, do you have any plans to get us through this crisis?"
"No, this is a deadlock. There's no way out. We can only fight head-on."
Zhao Shi shook his head with a heavy expression.
"Sigh … Could it be that our Duxu Peak's fate is really over and we're going to perish in seven days?"
The doddering old servant sighed deeply. "As expected, divine abilities are no match for fate. Who would've thought that with the help of such an amazing person like First Senior Brother, our Duxu Peak still has no hope … "
"Heh … Speaking of which, I've lived long enough. After such a long time, I've seen so many things in the mortal world. It can be said that my life has not been in vain. Since that's the case, I'll guard the Duxu Peak one last time before I die! Born here, raised here, and finally perished here. It can be said that I'm returning to my roots. It's fate. "
In contrast to the old man's worried expression, Zhao Shi's expression was carefree and relaxed. He looked up to the sky and chuckled softly. Brilliance burst out from his body and he emitted an unprecedentedly powerful aura.
That aura was as vast as the sea and as mighty as hell. It spread out in all directions …
"I'm really looking forward to it. How long has it been since I've seen Second Senior Brother in action? It's been so long that I've almost forgotten. "
Seeing Zhao Shi cut off all means of retreat and staking everything on this one throw, the old man seemed to be infected and couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"In this way, even if we can't protect the Duxu Peak, I'm afraid there'll be a great battle of the ages! To be able to see such a great battle in one's lifetime, it's not a waste of time! "
"It's not that simple. Perhaps it won't be a great battle of the ages. It could be a one-sided massacre."
Zhao Shi slowly shook his head. "You should know that there's more than one Peak Lord coming this time, but … even if that's the case, I can guarantee it. Before I fall, the blood of those people … will dye every inch of the Duxu Peak red! "
