This was Bai Xiaowen's first attempt at controlling a Lord-tier powerhouse using the Peaceful Hou – Bewitching Mantra Charm.
Bai Xiaowen knew his limits. His True Inner Force gave him the potential to become a King, but it was impossible to control an overlord with a talisman made of True Inner Force.
Controlling a lord was tantamount to controlling everything about the other party, including the other party's identity, status, and forces. The benefits one could obtain were shockingly huge. From a balanced perspective, the Spiritual Realm's rules wouldn't allow the success rate of mind control to be too high. There had to be harsh conditions.
In a battle between a King and a Lord, one point of priority advantage was nothing.
In the Dark Age Plane, when Bai Xiaowen controlled an overlord, he had first killed the overlord, then used the Dark Resurrection method to make the overlord serve him.
Now that he was controlling Xiao Xing, Bai Xiaowen decided to use the power of the Death God to be safe.
Death's Power was at least a level higher than True Inner Force. It might even be higher than a God's Descendant's power.
After all, a God's Descendant should be between a King and a true God. There was still a gap between them and a true God. Death's Power originated from the God of Death. It was a true God's Power.
The black talisman's power attacked Xiao Xing's mind like a hot knife through butter.
Xiao Xing never expected Bai Xiaowen's talisman attack to be so fierce. He felt like he had lost himself. His face flushed red, and he used all his strength to resist.
Bai Xiaowen quickly took over most of Xiao Xing's mind. He went straight for the core area of the mind — the Bier.
The Bier was where Xiao Xing's consciousness was. It was also his last fortress. Here, he encountered strong resistance from Xiao Xing.
If the mind was the capital of a country, then the Bier was the inner court of the royal palace, the administrative center.
As long as he took over the Bier and sent a strand of his Spiritual Sense into it, he could turn Xiao Xing into a puppet.
This was the fundamental principle of the Bewitching Talisman. When he was an Awakened, Bai Xiaowen only used the Bewitching Talisman's inherent "program" to activate the skill. Now that his knowledge had deepened, he could dissect the principle of the skill.
Now that Bai Xiaowen had occupied Xiao Xing's sea of consciousness, he was able to control Xiao Xing's actions. However, since he failed to occupy the bier, it meant that he could not easily "withdraw his troops". Otherwise, Xiao Xing's telegnosis ability would have a chance to launch a counterattack and regain control of itself.
Bai Xiaowen sighed inwardly. Controlling a lord, especially a commander-type lord, was not an easy task. Even if he relied on the power of the Grim Reaper, he could only achieve "half control". Next, he couldn't withdraw his spiritual awareness. He had to leave a considerable amount of energy in Xiao Xing's sea of consciousness to maintain the pressure on the bier. This was the only way to ensure that Xiao Xing couldn't retaliate.
However, this was enough.
Bai Xiaowen immediately manipulated Xiao Xing to grant him the secondary authority to control the Boundary Marker of the Skewed Bone Territory. This secondary authority included the right to control the Bone Melting Region's formation.
Subsequently, Bai Xiaowen continued to divide a portion of his spiritual awareness to maintain his control over Xiao Xing's sea of consciousness and the suppression of his spiritual altar. The rest of his spiritual awareness quickly entered the Bone Melting Ridge's formation.
There was a branch of immortal arts: Talisman Refining Technique. Bai Xiaowen grasped the Bone Melting Region's formation very quickly. In just a few short seconds, he grasped that the Bone Melting Region's formation was actually a "Seven Stars" type formation. Compared to the White Phoenix Region's Five Elements Formation, it was even more strange and dangerous. However, it was not as stable.
Just from the choice of the territory's formation, he seemed to be able to see some of Xiao Xing's characteristics. He should be an evolver who liked to gamble. When he won, he would be unrestrained and unrestrained. When he lost, he would be completely naked.
The Bone Melting Region's formation had a total of seven formation bases.
Once the Bone Melting Region's formation was activated, the seven formation bases would evolve into 5,040 formation positions. These positions would be mapped to the entire Bone Melting Region, transforming into 5,040 small formation areas. According to the different combinations of the formation bases, each small formation area would receive varying degrees of buff and debuff.
The Bone Melting Region's formation was the same as the White Phoenix Region's. It had already been upgraded to the third level. The range of buff and debuff effects could reach up to seventy percent. However, the weakest area was infinitely close to zero.
These 5,040 small formation areas were not unchanging. They would constantly change under the control of the person in charge of the formation. Complex and changeable was also a major characteristic of strange formations.
However, if the enemy also had a master proficient in formations, they could command the army to seize advantageous positions and minimize the effects on themselves.
If the person in charge of the Bone Melting Region's formation wasn't skilled enough, the enemy could even turn the tables and seize the initiative. This would cause the Bone Melting Region's army to fall into a disadvantage.
This was the disadvantage of a strange formation like the Seven Stars Formation. It was far less stable than the Five Elements Formation.
However, Bai Xiaowen's formation skills were not a problem for him to preside over the Seven Stars Formation. At the very least, he wouldn't let the enemy seize the initiative. After understanding the principles of the formation, he directly chose to activate the formation and change the gravity of the region where the Heavenly Province's army was located. This caused their charging speed to abruptly decrease.
"What's going on?" The Heavenly Province's army was in chaos.
Mengchuan, who was standing in the middle of the army, was also bewildered. Logically speaking, the Bone Melting Region's formation should only target Bai Xiaowen and the small group of evolvers loyal to the Great Xia Territory.
"Lord Mengchuan, this is bad! Look, Lord Xiao Xing seems to have been subdued by Lv Wang … "an evolver commander beside him said.
"Useless fellow!" Mengchuan was frustrated.
"What do we do?" Several evolvers looked at Mengchuan.
"What else can we do? Fortunately, we made sufficient preparations. We really can't underestimate Lv Wang, "Mengchuan grumbled.
He took out a small ball of white light, squeezed it hard, and threw it into the air.
With a loud boom, the small ball exploded into a rainbow-colored rain of light.
This was a signal ball used to besiege the enemy. Xiao Xing also had one on him, but he didn't have the time to release it.
Swoosh!
Swoosh! Figures flew out from the east, west, north, and south. They flew toward Bai Xiaowen and Xiao Xing.
"Don't let Lv Wang go!"
"It's best to capture them alive, but there's no harm in killing them!"
Every black figure had a powerful aura, and there were more than a dozen of them. The leaders among them all had the aura of a high rank lord.
"What …" Guo Baisheng and the others widened their eyes. The experts lying in ambush here undoubtedly confirmed Bai Xiaowen's words.
Xiao Xing really was colluding with the enemy! Guo Baisheng and the others glared at Xiao Xing angrily. They wanted nothing more than to bite off a piece of his flesh. However, Xiao Xing had already lost the ability to receive information from the outside world. He was still bitterly guarding the last trace of clarity in his soul so that he wouldn't be completely controlled by Bai Xiaowen.
At this time, Bai Xiaowen's spirit medium had successfully summoned the first White Phoenix army.
