There was a loud bang!
The moment the black ball came into contact with the Golden Thread Nether Snake, it exploded violently.
The ground quaked as large amounts of flames instantly enveloped the Golden Thread Nether Snake.
The Golden Thread Nether Snake had been charging upwards at full speed, but it was caught off guard by the black ball's explosion, causing its momentum to falter.
What was worse was that the black ball happened to come into contact with the three golden threads on the Golden Thread Nether Snake's head. The golden threads were actually in the shape of a snake, and the seven inches of the snake was the Golden Thread Nether Snake's weakest spot.
Therefore, the moment the explosion happened, the Golden Thread Nether Snake suffered quite a bit of damage.
Its body trembled as a wisp of foul-smelling blood flowed out of its mouth. The top of its head was also blasted open by the explosion.
However, the Golden Thread Nether Snake was indeed thick-skinned. The black ball's explosion and flames at close range didn't cause any fatal damage to it, but it looked extremely miserable.
The Golden Thread Nether Snake's ferocious nature was immediately stimulated. It let out an angry hiss and immediately went berserk.
However, the distance between it and Xia Ruofei was inevitably pulled apart.
Due to the black ball's explosion, not only was its upward momentum thwarted, but it was also blasted down more than ten meters.
As for Xia Ruofei, he used the shockwave from the black ball's explosion to leap upwards. The Curved Frost Flying Sword under his feet also rose at an extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, he was dozens of meters away from the Golden Thread Nether Snake.
With his speed increased, Xia Ruofei immediately summoned the Spirit Map Scroll and threw it towards the top of the mountain with all his might.
Xia Ruofei was flying up with his sword at full speed. Then, he threw the Spirit Map Scroll with all his might. With the two speeds stacked together, the Spirit Map Scroll's speed reached an extreme. It let out a whistling sound as it tore through the air, even leaving behind an afterimage.
After Xia Ruofei threw the Spirit Map Scroll, he immediately entered the Ring-Tu space's Archean Realm with a thought. He directly arrived in the time formation.
Layman Yuntai had always been in the mysterious ore space, paying attention to Xia Ruofei's every move.
Xia Ruofei's series of smooth operations after arriving in the outside world were naturally witnessed by him.
Layman Yuntai clicked his tongue and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, you sure have a lot of life-saving means! There's actually a magical treasure like the Thunderclap Seed! "
Only then did Xia Ruofei know that the black ball he had found in Shen Tianfang's belongings was called the Lightning Seed.
He smiled and said, "This junior got it by chance, and there's only one left. If it wasn't for the urgent situation, this junior wouldn't have used it!"
Layman Yuntai agreed. "If you didn't use the Thunderbolt Seed to blast the Gold Thread Hellish Snake, the situation would have been very dangerous!"
Then he asked, "Fellow Daoist Xia, you should have enough time to fly to the top of the mountain. Why did you enter this small world?"
Layman Yuntai also did not understand. If Xia Ruofei had flown up on his sword, he should have been able to reach the top of the mountain before the Gold Thread Hellish Snake caught up to him. However, it was hard to say whether he would have been able to set up the Nine Revolution Space Splitting Formation in time.
However, Xia Ruofei did not fly up on his sword. Instead, he chose the same strategy as before. He threw out the Spirit Map Scroll again before entering the Ring-Tu space. Furthermore, Xia Ruofei directly entered the Primordial Realm's time formation. Clearly, he wanted to buy more time. However, Layman Yuntai did not know what Xia Ruofei wanted to do.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Senior Yuntai, junior thought about it and felt that senior's words were quite right. The Nine Revolution Space Splitting Formation is still not powerful enough to deal with the Gold Thread Hellish Snake. I happen to have some inspiration, so I decided to buy some time to see if I can improve the formation. "
Layman Yuntai was dumbfounded. After a while, he muttered, "Did I hear wrongly? Or is there something wrong with my ears? That's not right! I'm in a spirit body state. Where did my ears come from? "
Layman Yuntai had long lost his physical body. His communication with Xia Ruofei was carried out using his mental strength. There was naturally no problem with his ears, so it was impossible for him to hear wrongly.
Therefore, he asked in an uncertain tone, "Fellow Daoist Xia, are you trying to improve the Nine Revolution Space Splitting Formation?"
As Xia Ruofei gathered all the formation materials together, he said with a smile, "Senior Yuntai, you didn't hear wrongly. I do want to improve the formation. I mainly want to increase the formation's offensive power. Of course, the Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array itself is already very mature. It is impossible to make big changes to such an array. I just have a preliminary idea to make some minor adjustments to some parts of the array. At the same time, I will add a few array talismans. If my idea is correct, I should be able to complete the transformation very soon. "
Then, Xia Ruofei skillfully picked out a few formation talismans from the materials. At the same time, he waved his hand and took out more blank jade talismans. Then, he began to compare them while using his mental strength to carve formation runes on the blank jade talismans.
Layman Yuntai stared at Xia Ruofei's movements with rapt attention. He could not believe that someone could improve a fully matured array in such a short period of time. Moreover, it could really increase the offensive power of the array.
Layman Yuntai saw that Xia Ruofei's formation runes didn't seem much different from the ones on the talismans he picked out. Xia Ruofei's speed was very fast. It was obvious that he had already deduced it clearly in his mind.
Just as Xia Ruofei said, he couldn't make any major changes to the formation. He could only make minor adjustments.
Therefore, the main body of the formation runes didn't change much. He only made minor adjustments based on his understanding of the formation runes.
In Layman Yuntai's opinion, this was like a fairy tale.
Xia Ruofei had a very deep understanding of the spatial laws. It was also because of this that he could discover a few flaws in the formation that could cause the formation's power to decrease. Now, he was carving the few formation runes based on his understanding.
Xia Ruofei spent about forty minutes creating six new formation runes.
Then, he probed with his mental strength and confirmed that the Golden Thread Nether Snake couldn't catch up for the time being. According to the situation from before, the Golden Thread Nether Snake needed at least five to six seconds to catch up to the Spirit Map Scroll. Then, in the Ring-Tu space's Primordial Realm time formation, he had about two to three hours. Now, there was still some distance between the Golden Thread Nether Snake and the Spirit Map Scroll. It was temporarily safe.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei set up the Nine Revolution Space Splitting Array in the time formation.
Of course, this Nine Revolution Space Splitting Array was the array formation he had prepared previously. He didn't use the modified formation runes.
In other words, Xia Ruofei first set up a standard version of the Nine Revolution Space Splitting Array.
Layman Yuntai had already seen Xia Ruofei casually set up an array formation before, but he still found it unbelievable when he saw this scene again.
When he thought of how Xia Ruofei wanted to modify the array formation's foundation, he felt that it was even more ridiculous.
Xia Ruofei sensed the operation of the array formation and casually tore it apart.
Then, he accurately picked out the six formation runes and placed the six formation runes he had just created.
Then, he skillfully set up the Nine Revolution Space Splitting Array again. This time, he modified the array formation according to his ideas.
Layman Yuntai also stared at the new array formation and couldn't help but release his mental strength to sense it.
Xia Ruofei naturally did the same.
Both of them felt that after the six formation runes were replaced, not only did the operation of the array not improve, but some of the nodes were also blocked.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but frown slightly, while Layman Yuntai secretly sighed in relief and thought to himself, 'I knew it's not that easy to modify an array formation! Especially in such a short time, how could he really improve a mature array formation? '
In Layman Yuntai's opinion, there was a limit to how much a genius could be. If Xia Ruofei could really improve the array formation in such a short time, he was beyond the realm of a genius.
Xia Ruofei didn't give up because of this. He pondered for a moment and reached out his hand to suck two blank jade talismans over. Then, he thought for a moment and stretched out his fingers to quickly draw.
Streams of mental strength flowed smoothly from his fingertips and left mysterious array patterns on the blank jade talismans.
This time, Layman Yuntai was completely confused.
Because the array pattern Xia Ruofei was drawing was different from any of the previous Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array formation runes.
Xia Ruofei was drawing a new array pattern!
Layman Yuntai was a little confused. 'Is he planning to give up on the Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array and set up a new one? But there's not enough time! ' Moreover, the Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array was quite powerful. There was still hope to kill the Gold Thread Nether Snake. Why would he give up what was close at hand for what was far away?
Fortunately, Xia Ruofei didn't take too long to draw the two talismans this time. He successfully drew the two talismans in about ten minutes.
Xia Ruofei checked the array pattern on the jade talisman and silently deduced it. Only then did he nod his head in satisfaction.
Then, Xia Ruofei reached out his hand and gently tore apart the array formation that was a little sluggish because of the improved talismans.
Then, he pushed with both hands and added the two talismans. Then, he gently moved his hands in the air and the array materials began to rearrange themselves under the influence of his mental strength.
In just a few seconds, a new array formation was formed.
Layman Yuntai was stunned. The Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array was still in front of him. At least, the main structure of the array formation hadn't changed much. However, at least eight of the talismans' positions had been adjusted. In addition, the two new talismans Xia Ruofei made had been added in as well.
"This is …" Layman Yuntai couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Xia Ruofei flicked his finger and activated the array formation. Then, he immediately released his mental strength to examine it.
Layman Yuntai came back to his senses and hurriedly used his mental strength to examine the array formation.
After examining it, Layman Yuntai couldn't help but cry out, "This array formation is so stable!"
With Layman Yuntai's experience and shrewdness, he shouldn't show his emotions on his face. However, he had already lost his composure several times today.
This time, in particular, he was incomparably shocked.
Xia Ruofei replaced six of the talismans and changed the positions of eight talismans. At the same time, he added two more talismans. In the end, he was still able to set up the Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array. Moreover, the array formation's stability had been greatly improved.
Layman Yuntai originally thought that Xia Ruofei's random addition of talismans would cause the array formation to collapse. It would be impossible to form a stable energy path.
However, reality taught Layman Yuntai a good lesson. Xia Ruofei's array formation was clearly the Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array. It was much more stable than the original version. Moreover, the previous obstructions had disappeared without a trace.
How could it work like this? At this moment, Layman Yuntai felt that his long cultivation career had been wasted. He couldn't even compare to a little kid in the early Golden Core stage …
Xia Ruofei's inspection was even more detailed. Moreover, his understanding of the array formation was clearly much better than Layman Yuntai's. Therefore, he wasn't just concerned about the array formation's stability. He was more concerned about the array formation's power.
Xia Ruofei tried operating the array formation. Then, he tested the array formation's offensive capabilities.
This time, his heart was completely at ease.
"The improvement seems to be quite effective. Its power has increased by at least thirty percent!" Xia Ruofei said happily, "Senior Yuntai, do you think that the current array formation will increase our chances of victory against the Golden Thread Nether Snake?"
Layman Yuntai came back to his senses. He smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, with Fellow Daoist Xia's ability, even the standard Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array can pose a huge threat to the Golden Thread Nether Snake. Now that it's improved by thirty percent, this array formation is even more powerful than some classic spatial arrays! Fellow Daoist Xia, you're really … "
Xia Ruofei said modestly, "I'm only relatively familiar with spatial rules. I wouldn't dare to make such changes to other arrays."
Xia Ruofei used his spiritual power to check the situation outside. After confirming that the Golden Thread Nether Snake was still some distance away, he simply kept the improved Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array in operation. He wanted to continue observing. This improved Nine Rotation Space Splitting Array hadn't been tested extensively. Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't know if the array formation would remain as stable as it was now.
The array ran for more than half an hour before Xia Ruofei stopped and dismantled the array formation. Then, he left it floating in the air.
"Senior Yuntai, I'm going to go out now!" Xia Ruofei said, "This time, there should be enough time for me to finish setting up the array formation!"
Layman Yuntai said, "Yes! Fellow Daoist Xia, when enemies meet on a narrow path, the courageous will win. The Golden Thread Nether Snake is nothing to be afraid of. First, you have to overwhelm it in terms of momentum! "
"Understood!" Xia Ruofei said, "Senior Yuntai, please hold the array formation for me. If I make any mistakes, please don't hesitate to remind me."
"Alright!" Layman Yuntai said readily.
With a thought, Xia Ruofei left the Ring-Tu space's Archean Realm in a flash.
