The Hundred Herbs Sect's Dao, Techniques, and Divine Abilities were not good at attacking, and the Eternal Spring Spell Formation's destructive power was also not sharp enough. However, as the Hundred Herbs Sect's Great Protective Formation, its Great Divine Ability that borrowed the power of the Heaven and Earth was not something that ordinary cultivators could contend against.
Even if there were many cultivators, it was the same unless they could form a formation like the Great Zhou Shenwu Army and gather everyone's mana in one place.
But there was a saying that quantitative change could lead to qualitative change. When the numbers reached a terrifying number, the situation couldn't be predicted with common sense.
Over one thousand tiger demons released all the ghosts they had accumulated at once. There were over ten thousand of them.
There were more than ten thousand poltergeist ghosts, including a large number of Foundation Establishment stage poltergeist ghosts. There were even quite a few Golden Core stage poltergeist ghosts.
This energy was driven by a frenzied killing intent, transforming into a dark torrent that rushed toward the Eternal Spring Reverse Array at the foot of the Eternal Spring Peak.
The densely packed ghosts made everyone's scalp go numb.
At the foot of Eternal Spring Mountain, the yellow cloud was the first restriction of the Eternal Spring Defensive Formation. It contained dense earth elemental essence, thick and condensed.
All the intruders who entered the yellow cloud would be unable to move even an inch due to the pressure of the Earth Element Essence. It was as if their entire body was carrying a thousand kilograms of weight. Those with weak cultivations would have all the bones in their body crushed, or even be crushed into a meat patty.
Although the ghosts didn't have physical bodies and only had souls, the yellow cloud of the formation was still effective against souls.
Upon entering the formation, the Poltergeist Ghost's movements immediately became jerky and slow. Every step forward was incomparably difficult.
But there were too many of them. They were like an endless wave that came one after another.
The ghost wave ignored all obstructions and rapidly advanced. Those that were stopped by the yellow cloud were immediately knocked over by the ghosts behind them and then trampled over.
The ghosts didn't care about the lives of their companions and just kept advancing.
The ghosts that were trampled to death didn't completely dissipate. Instead, they turned into black mist and were absorbed by the other ghosts to strengthen themselves.
In the formation, the number of ghosts decreased rapidly. The weaker ones were quickly eliminated. Almost half of the ten thousand ghosts were lost, leaving only five thousand.
However, the remaining five thousand Poltergeist Ghosts were all elites. Not only that, but the Essence Qi of the weaker Poltergeist Ghosts that had been crushed was all devoured by the other Poltergeist Ghosts, causing the already strong Poltergeist Ghosts to become even stronger.
Although their numbers had decreased, their strength had not.
When Lin Feng saw this, he laughed soundlessly, "I wonder how the Hundred Herbs Ancestor is feeling right now? Through his Eternal Spring Reversing Sky Formation, these poltergeist ghosts are like steel that has been quenched, their quality is even higher. "
In the great hall at the top of Eternal Spring Peak, the Hundred Herbs Ancestor was no longer in the mood to sit on the prayer mat. He stood expressionlessly in the center of the great hall, his spiritual sense closely connected to the Eternal Spring Defensive Formation, paying close attention to the changes of the ghosts within.
These poltergeist ghosts were only in the Golden Elixir Period at most, so the Hundred Herbs Ancestor could easily kill them.
However, the Geng Metal Tiger King would definitely be delighted to see this. As long as the Hundred Herbs Ancestor revealed the slightest opening, he would immediately strike and tear him to pieces.
The poltergeist army, which had lost almost half of its members, had already reached the waist of Eternal Spring Peak. They passed through the yellow clouds at the foot of the mountain and entered the dark green clouds at the center of the mountain.
As soon as they entered the dark green clouds, the poltergeist ghosts all paused.
The strong aura of life within the dark green clouds was truly a mortal enemy to these ghosts. It was as if they were in a furnace.
The exuberant vitality even allowed some of the Jindan Stage ghosts with condensed souls and strong wills to temporarily regain their memories and sanity. Looking at the miserable state they were in, everyone was filled with sorrow and burst into tears.
Some of them even turned to look at the tiger demons at the foot of the mountain, their eyes filled with anger and hatred.
Sensing the changes in their poltergeist ghosts, the Geng Metal Tiger demons frowned slightly. Clearly, they had not expected the Eternal Spring Reversing Sky Formation to have such an effect.
The Geng Metal Tiger King lazily glanced at the dark green clouds at the waist of the mountain and grinned carelessly.
He raised his head to the sky and let out an earth-shattering howl.
The howl seemed to be filled with boundless magic. When the poltergeist ghosts in the dark green clouds heard this howl, they all calmed down.
The poltergeist ghosts that had temporarily regained their consciousness gradually became confused and lost their consciousness again. Their bodies once again emitted killing intent and viciousness, but they no longer had their own thoughts. They once again became poltergeist ghosts that only knew how to listen to the tiger demons.
The Hundred Herbs Ancestor watched this scene expressionlessly. He formed a seal with his right hand.
Countless thorny vines suddenly sprouted out of the dark green clouds. They were dark green with a faint purple glow.
The vines grew wildly and instantly covered the waist of Eternal Spring Peak, binding all the poltergeist ghosts. As the purple light flowed, many poltergeist ghosts looked dispirited and gradually lost their spirit.
The Foundation Establishment poltergeist ghosts in particular could not do anything in front of the vines.
Lin Feng watched from afar and his heart stirred. "These vines seem to specialize in harming the souls of others."
The tiger demons at the foot of the mountain also frowned. Compared to the yellow clouds at the foot of the mountain, the dark green clouds at the waist of the mountain were the real threat to the poltergeist ghosts.
The Geng Metal Tiger King glanced and nodded slightly. "So it's the Soul Eroding Vine. It specialize in eroding the souls of living beings. This thing is specialized in restraining our poltergeist ghosts."
The Fiend Tiger Demon Commander grunted. "Subordinate will break it!"
With that, he activated his demon qi. Among the poltergeist ghosts on the mountain, one of the Golden Elixir Period poltergeist ghosts instantly changed.
This Golden Elixir Period poltergeist ghost was devoured by the Fiend Tiger Demon Commander and turned into poltergeist ghosts. When he was alive, he was a human cultivator that specialized in fire magic.
This poltergeist let out a sharp howl and spat out endless flames. The flames were pale white in color but did not have any heat. Instead, they were extremely cold.
The pale white flames landed on the Soul Eroding Vine and instantly started burning.
With the magic power of the Eternal Spring Petrifying Formation, the Soul Eroding Vine grew endlessly. Even the flames could not burn them.
However, the group of poltergeist ghosts took this opportunity to rush towards the place where the flames were the strongest.
The pale white flames were not blazing Yang flames but Yin flames that were filled with Yin Qi. Not only were the poltergeist ghosts not afraid of the flames, they were even more terrifying as if they were on drugs.
More than ten Golden Elixir Period poltergeist ghosts acted as a sharp knife to open a path in front of them. With the help of the Yin Fire, they forcefully opened a gap in the Soul Eroding Vine's defense line.
Many Foundation Establishment poltergeist ghosts followed behind to expand their gains. The gap became bigger and bigger until the remaining Qi Refining poltergeist ghosts formed a large army and crushed the Soul Eroding Vine's defense line like a tsunami.
The aura of living beings was the nemesis of ghosts, but conversely, the eerie ghost aura would also cause adverse effects to plants.
Under the effect of the poltergeist ghosts' eerie death aura, many plants in the Eternal Spring Petrifying Formation gradually withered.
The group of Golden Elixir Period poltergeist ghosts displayed their abilities and used all the techniques they were proud of when they were alive. They broke through part of the green cloud barrier on the mountainside and rushed into the colorful cloud at the mountaintop.
The many poltergeist ghosts behind them followed closely behind and attacked the last line of defense of the Eternal Spring Petrifying Formation.
Lin Feng watched this scene and frowned deeply. He stared at Eternal Spring Peak: "I heard that the main purpose of the Hundred Herbs Sect's Eternal Spring Petrifying Formation is to transform plants and grow spirit herbs, not to fight."
"But no matter how bad it is at killing and fighting, the one in charge is the Hundred Herbs Ancestor. He's a Yuanying cultivator. How can he be such a good-for-nothing? He let a few Golden Elixir Period poltergeist ghosts lead a team and they're about to kill their way to our doorstep? "
Lin Feng controlled his temper and observed patiently.
However, the Geng Metal Tiger King at the foot of the mountain didn't seem to feel that anything was wrong. He waved his paw lazily: "Let's go. If we knew that the Hundred Herbs Ancestor was such a good-for-nothing, we would have destroyed his Eternal Spring Peak a few hundred years ago."
The group of tiger demons agreed in unison and revealed bloodthirsty smiles on their faces. They howled and pounced towards Eternal Spring Peak.
After charging into the yellowish-brown clouds at the foot of the mountain, the bodies of all the tiger demons emitted a dazzling golden light. As they flashed, they were like countless steel knives that cut the yellow clouds into pieces.
"Kill!" The tiger demons charged halfway up the mountain and killed their way into the dark green clouds. They originally thought that the poltergeist ghosts had cleared the path for them, but when they stepped into the dark green clouds, countless black vines suddenly appeared.
Different from the greenish-purple Soul Eroding Vines from before, these black vines were swollen with many small red lumps. When the vines wrapped around the tiger demons, the lumps ruptured one by one and a red liquid that looked like pus and blood flowed out.
When the red liquid dripped onto the Geng Metal Tiger Demon's armor-like skin, it made a sizzling sound and thick smoke rose into the air. The tiger demons' iron bones and steel skin couldn't resist the corrosion of the red liquid and melted.
When the red liquid pierced through the skin and came into contact with the tiger demons' flesh, they all let out miserable howls.
They struggled with all their might, trying to use their sharp claws that could easily crush mountain rocks to sever the black vines that flowed with the red liquid. However, only the Demon Commander-level tiger demons could break the vines with a single swipe. Most of the remaining tiger demons were powerless.
Whether it was their steel teeth or sharp claws, or the sharp metal blades that grew out of their bodies, none of them could sever the black vines. Not only were the vines tough, they were also incomparably sturdy.
In the great hall at the top of Eternal Spring Peak, the Hundred Herbs Ancestor finally smiled. "Evil beasts are evil beasts after all. No matter how much they look like humans, they're not real humans. With just a little trick, they took the bait.
"If I knew that your Geng Metal Tiger Clan was a hidden danger, how could I not have made preparations? This Iron Blood Vine is a mutated species that I obtained after traversing thousands of miles of Divine Land in search of all kinds of strange flowers and grafting for many years. It's specifically made to deal with your Geng Metal Tiger Clan! "
The group of tiger demons also seemed to realize that something was wrong. They wanted to retreat down the mountain, but the earthy yellow mist that seemed so fragile when they first arrived suddenly became denser and denser by a hundred times.
If the earthy yellow mist was said to be dirt when the wandering ghosts and tiger demons attacked the mountain personally, then it was now ten thousand year old granite!
Clearly, he had purposely paralyzed the tiger demons in order to completely cut off their path of retreat.
The Hundred Herbs Ancestor laughed softly. "Today, I'm going to kill most of your Geng Metal Tiger Clan's fighting force here and completely eliminate this hidden danger!"
The situation on Eternal Spring Peak suddenly changed. Seeing this, Lin Feng thought to himself, "This Hundred Herbs Ancestor sure is ambitious."
He turned to look at the Geng Metal Tiger King at the foot of the mountain. "The Hundred Herbs Ancestor has finally shown his trump card. Then, did you really fall for it?"
The seemingly arrogant Geng Metal Tiger King, who had fallen for the Hundred Herbs Ancestor's trap and was about to kill thousands of his clansmen in the Eternal Spring Defensive Formation, finally stood up from the ground lazily.
"Old Hundred Herbs Ghost, you're the one who fell for it!"
