Chapter 2129: A Desperate Situation
"The formation really does need to be broken …"
Ning Qi nodded indifferently. He only had three months. Over ten days had already passed, but he still had no clue as to where the Eternal Flame was. Since the Jade Lake had appeared in front of the staircase, if he wanted to continue forward, he would have to break the formation and pass through it.
"Senior, just now, a cultivator only touched the stone statue, and those nether beasts crazily chased after it. If we break the formation …"
Wuyang Qifeng said worriedly.
Lu Zhong, Guihai, and the others glanced at him with a trace of displeasure. How could a trifling great circle Netherworld realm existence have the qualifications to speak at a time like this?
"Everyone, what do you think?"
Ning Qi smiled and looked at Lu Zhong and Guihai.
Lu Zhong and Guihai were startled and then forced a smile. "I feel like since we've already come here, there's no reason for us to turn around and leave. This kind of opportunity is hard to come by even in ten thousand years …"
"Good. The aura of the formation is already very weak, so it should have been many years since anyone took care of it. With everyone's strength, it shouldn't be a problem to break it. Please."
Ning Qi smiled.
"This …"
Everyone exchanged a glance, but no one dared to take the initiative. With the previous example, who would dare to take the initiative to attack in such a mysterious place?
"Let me."
The Sea Goddess Palace's master looked around disdainfully. With a cold snort, she sent a palm strike at the formation. Majestic nether qi condensed into a giant palm that struck the formation. However, it was like a stone sinking into the ocean. Her attack was completely absorbed by the formation, and it only caused the slightest ripple.
The Sea Goddess Palace's master was startled. Seeing this, everyone's expressions became grave. The Sea Goddess Palace's master was a mid Netherpassage cultivator. She was famous in the second Heavenstage of the Netherworld, but even with her strength, she was unable to shake this formation. It could be seen just how powerful this formation was!
After waiting for a long time, there were no more minotaurs, nor were there any other strange phenomena. Everyone sighed with relief.
"Let's work together to break this formation!"
The Head of the Dark Spirit Sect proposed again. This time, everyone nodded in agreement. Only Ning Qi didn't move.
Under Lu Zhong and Guihai's lead, over twenty Netherpassage experts joined hands, focusing their attacks on the formation. Wuyang Qifeng subconsciously hid behind Ning Qi. He had thought that Lu Zhong, Guihai, and the others would definitely be able to break the formation, and the shockwaves would definitely be terrifying. But after waiting for a few breaths, he didn't see any movement. He couldn't help but take a look. He saw Lu Zhong, Guihai, and the others just blankly standing in front of the formation. There wasn't even the slightest mark on the formation.
"This …"
Lu Zhongguihai couldn't help but look at Ning Qi.
"Senior, perhaps only you can break this formation."
Lu Zhong said.
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Ning Qi. They were sure that they couldn't do anything about this formation. There was only one person who could break it! That was Ning Qi!
Ning Qi's expression changed slightly. The Dragon Slaying Saber appeared in his hand, and he slashed it forward. Following that, everyone heard an ear-piercing creaking sound. The place where the Dragon Slaying Saber had struck caused intense ripples, but … the formation still didn't break!
"It can't be broken?"
Ning Qi was shocked. This was his first time seeing something that even the Dragon Slaying Saber couldn't break!
This formation was probably on a higher level than the Dragon Slaying Saber. It could only be broken through with intelligence, not brute force!
"Even he can't do anything …"
Everyone was a bit disappointed, but they didn't look down on Ning Qi just because he couldn't break the formation. Just now, they hadn't been able to leave the slightest mark on the formation, nor had there been any disturbance. But as soon as Ning Qi attacked, the formation began to emit intense ripples and an ear-piercing creaking sound. That was enough to show that the power of Ning Qi's attack had far surpassed their combined power!
The Dragon Slaying Saber's aura was very ordinary. Even wily old foxes like Lu Zhong and Guihai were unable to sense its profundities.
Therefore, everyone believed that Ning Qi had relied on his own strength to deliver such a powerful strike.
Ning Qi pondered for a moment before slashing out again. It didn't crack. He slashed again, but it still didn't crack. In a blink of an eye, Ning Qi had slashed out more than a hundred times. However, other than the commotion and sound of the array formation being slightly louder, there were no signs of it collapsing.
Seeing this, everyone felt a trace of unwillingness in their hearts. They felt that they couldn't break the Array of this place this time. On the contrary, they were imagining the scene inside the Jade Lake. Everyone believed that there must be precious treasures inside. Otherwise, why would such a powerful Array be used to protect it?
Even the torture tools from before were reduced to dust with a light touch. And the array formation had clearly been weakened countless times. Even after being weakened, it still had such power. It wasn't hard to imagine how terrifying the array formation would be at its peak.
"I only have three months, but even with my strength and the unstoppable Dragon Slayer Saber, I still can't shake this formation in the slightest. If I can't break this formation, when the time is up, I don't know if the system will really kill me."
Ning Qi hugged the Dragon Slaying Saber with both hands as he looked at the array formation in front of him. He fell into deep thought.
Since there was a Spirit Array, there must be a way to break it. After all, a Spirit Array was like a door. When the door was locked, as long as one found the key to the door, one could easily open it. It was much more convenient than breaking a door by force.
"Everyone, search the vicinity. See if there's any way to crack the array or if there's anything you find odd."
Ning Qi said indifferently.
"Senior, do you think there's a way to crack the array nearby?"
Lu Zhong and Guihai said in surprise.
"It's a last-ditch effort. Are you willing to leave this place just like that?"
Ning Qi smiled.
"That's right."
Lu Zhong and Guihai nodded. When everyone saw this, they scattered in all directions. However, in order to prevent a sneak attack from the Minotaurs, they didn't go too far.
Other than the Jade Pool in front of them, there were countless halls on the left and right. If they really wanted to search, it was definitely not enough with just a few dozen people.
A few days later, more and more cultivators arrived at the Jade Lake to join the search for the method to dispel the Jade Lake. The number of cultivators instantly swelled to hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, and even hundreds of thousands. The originally empty and desolate place became much livelier. But a few days later, the Sect Master of the Tyrant Heart Sect and the Netherworld Emperor of this world brought their respective subordinates, over ten thousand of them with extraordinary combat strength to the Jade Lake.
Lu Zhong and Guihai had been standing beside Ning Qi. When they saw the group, their expression changed slightly. Then, they went forward and bowed respectfully.
