Chapter 989: Double Formation
"Big Brother ….."
Su Yan watched as Su Yiyun disappeared. Her eyes were bloodshot as she ran after him, but all she saw were specks of light.
Pitter patter.
A drop of rain fell from the sky. Before long, a torrential downpour began.
"It's raining."
"Why is it raining all of a sudden?"
The old man and the children who stayed behind Dragon City all returned to their rooms when the rain fell. Su Yan knelt where Su Yiyun had disappeared, allowing the rain to soak her clothes.
"Yiyun."
Far away, outside Dragon City, Li Min 'e sat on the ground in a daze. She looked up at the torrential rain, her tears dripping down her chin and onto the ground.
Little did she know, Su Yiyun, in soul form, had witnessed it all. He smiled at the world around him, then opened his hands …..
In his hands was a light pink hair clip.
Clatter.
The hair clip fell from the sky and landed right in front of Su Yan. She reached out and picked it up …..
This hair clip was the one Su Yiyun had given her at her coming of age ceremony. It was also the same hair clip he'd disdainfully tossed away when they'd broken up in the Modern Realm.
Her body trembled violently as she clutched the hair clip tightly in her hands.
"Big Brother!"
Su Liu 'er, who'd just emerged from her inner demons, woke up. When she saw Su Yan wailing her heart out, she subconsciously glanced at Su Zhu.
Su Zhu simply shook her head. At that moment …..
Su Yan needed peace and quiet.
"Ol 'Three!"
Ye Zichen roared, his eyes bloodshot. He struggled free of his chains and tried to return to the ancient tree Su Yiyun was leaning against, but …. The chains around his feet kept him firmly locked to the disk.
"Ye-zi, stop."
Ye Zichen suddenly heard a soft murmur. He instantly froze, then looked around frantically.
"Ol 'Three!"
Rumble.
Thunder rumbled overhead. Ye Zichen, who'd been calling out to Su Yiyun, suddenly grimaced and cried out in pain.
"Ah!"
The moment the thunder fell, the Spiritual Power continuously poured into his body through the chains. Countless strands of spiritual energy surged through his meridians, tearing them apart. Ye Zichen couldn't help but cry out in pain from the heart-wrenching pain.
"Look, Emperor Ye!"
The torrential rain didn't affect their vision, so they immediately noticed Ye Zichen, bound in chains.
"How did Emperor Ye get up there?"
Some people in the crowd couldn't help but speak up, and some even suggested.
"Shouldn't we send some people to rescue Emperor Ye?"
"Don't." The White Emperor waved at them, then looked at Black Dragon and Ye Zichen. "Emperor Ye's situation should be different from that of the demons."
"White Emperor, please speak clearly," said someone from the Beast Region.
"If I'm not mistaken, the demons are trapped in an Eighth-level Soul-locking Formation. The Eighty-level Soul Lock Formation can be considered one of the Eight Great Ominous Formations of the Ancient Era. Its function is to lock the soul of the person within the formation. However, the person who sets up the formation must use the soul as a guide. Because this Spiritual Formation causes great harm to the person who sets up the formation, it is listed as one of the Eight Great Ominous Formations. However … it can also be considered one of the Eight Great Mysterious Formations.
Everyone in Dragon City listened attentively to Emperor Bai's narration. What he said was something that even the Four Divine Clans had never recorded.
"What makes it special is that it has a twin formation, the Eighth-level Spirit-boosting Formation. The [Eighth-level Soul-Locking Formation] binds souls, but so long as they come into contact with it, the formation will absorb the souls, transform them into spiritual power, and imbue them with the formation's user. Right now, Emperor Ye should be the one benefiting from the formation. "
"This ….."
The onlookers were so shocked they couldn't speak. The way they saw it, this formation was simply too heaven-defying. It could absorb spiritual energy and transfer it into someone else's body.
Didn't that mean that if Emperor Ye absorbed all of the demons' spiritual energy, he'd be invincible?
"It's not as simple as you think," said the White Emperor. When he saw their shocked expressions, he knew they'd misunderstood. "If these two formations were as good as you think, they wouldn't be ranked among the great ancient formations. The Eighth-level Spirit-boosting Formation does indeed devour the soul's spiritual energy, but in the end, it's an inanimate object. It doesn't know how to remove impurities. In other words, it'll transfer whatever it absorbs into the recipient's body. Most importantly, it won't stop. "
"Doesn't that mean that Emperor Ye might ….." Xia Hua furrowed his brows. "Not be able to bear the influx of so much spiritual energy, and explode?"
"It's possible!" nodded the White Emperor.
"Then all the more reason for us to rescue Emperor Ye from that so-called Spirit-boosting Formation."
"We should, but given our abilities, there's no way we can break it," said the White Emperor, narrowing his eyes. "Since ancient times, the Eighth-level Spirit-boosting Formation has only appeared twice. Of those two times, only once resulted in the recipient exploding. The other time …. a ruler-level expert broke it! "
Rumble.
Muffled thunder rumbled through the air. Unable to bear the influx of spiritual energy, Ye Zichen knelt to the ground in pain.
Gradually, the same symbols that had appeared on Su Yiyun's body appeared on his face and arms.
"Ah ….."
Ye Zichen howled in agony. The demon soldiers supplying him with spiritual energy were starting to run dry. Their faces were pale, their eyes bulging, and they collapsed to the ground.
The blue halo above his head faded, and so did the light.
As a sky supreme, Black Dragon's reserve of spiritual energy was naturally far stronger than that of the ordinary demon soldiers. He could clearly sense his spiritual energy draining away. He struggled with all his might.
"Break for me!"
At this moment, a crack actually appeared on the chain binding his body. Soon after, the bone spikes on his back pierced through the crack in the chain.
"Break!"
Bang!
He struggled with all his might, and the chains binding him really did shatter. They fell to the ground. His chains shattered, and like a butterfly effect, the others' chains fell to the ground as well.
The first thing they did after being freed from their chains was sit on the ground and recover.
However, Black Dragon didn't. He merely squinted at the disk in the sky, then fixed his gaze on Ye Zichen. He circulated his spiritual energy in his arms and flew towards the disk.
"He's going to break that disk."
Practically everyone in Dragon City was still in shock at Black Dragon breaking free from his chains. However, when they saw that he was about to attack the disk, several figures simultaneously rushed towards it.
