When everything was ready, Lu Ye came to the last position and gently waved the formation flag in his hand, causing spirit energy to surge.
The other thirty-one formation flags immediately resonated with each other, and all the formation cultivators holding the flags began to act.
A total of thirty-two formation flags were attached to the light screen. As the formation cultivators led by Lu Ye worked, the pitch-black formation flags melted into the light screen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.
The formation flags rewarded by the Hundred Formation Pagoda were more useful than he'd expected.
Zhao Li and Song Yin, who were watching this scene, were shocked. Zhao Li himself was a formation cultivator, so he could see some things. Although Song Yin didn't know much about formations, she could tell from the scene that things were progressing smoothly.
The guardian of the Cool Breeze Sect panicked.
He'd never seen such a strange method before. The formation jade pendant was in his hand, and he could clearly sense that some foreign objects had melded into the formation. But just when he wanted to activate the jade pendant to expel these foreign objects, he couldn't lock onto the target at all. It felt as if the foreign objects had already melded into the formation.
Not to mention that he'd never seen such a method before, there had never been one in the Spirit Stream Battlefield since ancient times.
The cultivation bases of Spirit Stream Realm cultivators were not very high. Even those veteran Spirit Stream Realm cultivators, who had focused on cultivating the Dao of Spell Formations for decades, were limited by their own cultivation bases, and their accomplishments were limited. Perhaps they might be able to break through some small-scale spell formations, but it would be extremely difficult for them to shake something as colossal as the defensive spell formation of the encampment.
As the thirty-two formation flags melded into the light screen, Lu Ye, who held the main formation flag, immediately felt the flow of spirit energy from the formation. It felt as if he'd reached his hand into a flowing stream.
Then the next step was simple. With the power of the 32 flags, at the two nodes of the formation, they suppressed the flow of spiritual power in the area where the flags were. In this way, the formation in this area could be broken.
That's right, Lu Ye hadn't prepared to break an entire formation from the beginning. Even if he had the experience of breaking through formations alone, and even if he had the help of thirty-one formation cultivators, it would still take a lot of time.
Moreover, the formation he'd broken in the Hundred Formation Pagoda wasn't manned by anyone, so it wasn't the same as the one before him.
All he needed to do was to open a gap in the formation, a gap big enough for the cultivators of the two sects to attack.
When he attacked the base of the Sunlight Mountain, he used a similar method. However, he wasn't good at formations at that time. What he did was to tear open the formation at a node and then lead Ju Jia and the other ten body cultivators into the base of the Sunlight Mountain to take the jade pendant.
That would only work when there weren't many people guarding the base. If there were dozens of people guarding the base back in Saint Sunlight Mountain, Lu Ye wouldn't dare to do anything rash.
If the spiritual power flowing on the light screen was compared to a stream, then what he had to do now was to use the power of the formation flags to build two dams in this section of the stream, turning the flowing water into stagnant water, and then directly cut off this section of the separated area.
The array flags buzzed, and Lu Ye's spirit power surged. The thirty-one array cultivators felt the feedback from the array flags and worked together with Lu Ye.
The Guard of the Qingfeng Sect suddenly changed his expression. He clearly felt something wrong with the formation. He hurriedly operated the jade pendant to make all kinds of changes, but it was useless. No matter what he did, Lu Ye could adjust the formation as fast as he could.
In the area covered by the array flags, the flow of spiritual power slowed down visibly and then stopped.
It only took fifty breaths to do it!
"Brother Zhao!" Lu Ye shouted.
Zhao Li had been waiting for this, so he shouted angrily, "Kill!"
In the next instant, streaks of flowing light covered the area in front of them.
After only one round of fierce attacks, the light screen in front of them was broken like a mirror! - Crack! -
The Guard of the Qingfeng Sect was stunned.
All the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect were stunned.
Song Yin was stunned too.
When Lu Ye told him that he could break the formation within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he didn't believe it no matter what. He only felt that Lu Ye was boasting. If it weren't for Zhao Li's face, he would have retreated with his cultivators.
But in reality, it hadn't even taken an incense stick's worth of time. From the time Lu Ye attacked until the formation's light screen was broken, it had only taken five minutes.
Even someone as calm as him couldn't help but gulp.
Could a defensive formation be broken so easily? What he saw completely overturned his understanding of the world.
Although he was shocked, Song Yin's hands did not remain idle. Almost at the instant the great formation was broken, a furious roar rang out.
The cultivators of the two sects rushed into the Qingfeng Sect's encampment through the huge gap in the formation's light screen.
As soon as the two sides came into contact, the Qingfeng Sect's forces collapsed like a landslide. In an instant, twenty to thirty cultivators fell into pools of blood. The remaining cultivators all retreated in panic.
It wasn't that the Qingfeng Sect couldn't endure, but that they hadn't expected their own defensive formation to be so weak.
Before breaking the formation, the cultivators of the Sky Expanse Sect and the Azure Billow Mountain Sect had already formed a strong offensive formation. Each sect's cultivators had their own positions, and the eight to nine hundred cultivators had gathered together to form a single unit. Strong Body Cultivators wielded defensive spirit tools and stood at the front, enduring the enemy's attacks.
However, the Qingfeng Sect hadn't made such preparations. They had gathered together in a disorderly manner, completely unprepared to be attacked.
Moreover, there was a huge difference in numbers.
This caused the Qingfeng Sect to appear so weak that it couldn't even stand a gust of wind.
Battle cries rang out one after another. After the cultivators of the two sects charged into the Qingfeng Sect's encampment, their figures didn't stop moving.
That was the location of the Qingfeng Sect's Tianji Hall.
Although they could obtain a great deal of benefits by simply attacking the other side's encampment, if they didn't kill the enemy, the enemy would rise again sooner or later.
Therefore, this time, the Sky Expanse Sect and the Azure Billow Mountain Sect had joined hands not only to attack the Qingfeng Sect's encampment, but also to kill as many of their cultivators as they could.
The momentum of the two sects' cultivators was unstoppable. Along the way, the Qingfeng Sect's cultivators were constantly cut down. Giant Armour was at the forefront, his Spirit Energy and Blood Qi mixed together to form a solid layer of protection. The hasty attacks of the Qingfeng Sect's cultivators were like tickles to him.
This caused the Body Cultivators who were charging together with him to raise their eyebrows in envy.
At the same time when the Spirit Array was broken, Lu Ye casually waved his hand and retrieved his thirty-two array flags. As the cultivators of the two sects charged into the Qingfeng Sect's encampment, the four spirit artifacts turned into streams of light and flew back and forth within six hundred metres, leaving behind a trail of blood. Wherever they passed, specks of red light would fly out from the corpses lying on the ground and fall into the Battlefield Mark on the back of his hand.
Now that he was at the Ninth Order Spirit Stream Realm, his strength had increased compared to before. The power of his Imperial Artifact was more than several times greater than when he was at the Eighth Order. This was not only because of the increase in his cultivation, but also because of the increase in his Spiritual Energy.
Inside the Hundred Array Pagoda, he kept drinking Soul Cleansing Water to wash away the fatigue in his mind. However, the effect of the Soul Cleansing Water was not as simple as washing away the fatigue in his mind. More than half a bottle of Soul Cleansing Water was used up. At this moment, the toughness of his Soul was not even comparable to that of an ordinary Cloud River Realm cultivator.
The most obvious sign was that Lu Ye could now control the four Imperial Artifacts without any pressure. Even adding two Spirit Crests to the four Spirit Artifacts was a piece of cake.
The limit of an ordinary Ninth Order Realm Artifact Manipulation was around four hundred metres. Any further and they would not be able to control it. However, Lu Ye's Imperial Artifact Manipulation was six hundred metres.
What kind of concept was a gap of twenty metres? It meant that cultivators of the same level could not even think of getting close to him and would be killed by his Imperial Artifact Manipulation.
Walking through the chaotic battlefield, Lu Ye's figure did not stop, his gaze fixed on the Qingfeng Sect's Guardian.
With the support of the Wind Travel Spirit Crests, his figure rapidly rushed forward.
The fleeing Qingfeng Sect cultivators in front of him turned around to block him, but Hu Po, who was crouching on Lu Ye's shoulder, let out a tiger roar. A visible wave of Qi rushed forward, causing the cultivators to show a pained expression as they saw stars.
Although they quickly came back to their senses, what greeted them was the Imperial Artifact Manipulation, as well as Yi Yi, who was following closely behind Lu Ye, unleashing a series of spells.
Miserable screams rang out one after another. More than a dozen Qingfeng Sect cultivators were lying on the ground, their blood staining the ground red.
Without stopping, Lu Ye rushed in front of the Qingfeng Sect's Guardian in a few steps. This person was also a Weapon Cultivator. With a horrified expression, he summoned his Spirit Artifact. However, a snow-white blade flashed before his eyes, and his head flew high into the air.
Lu Ye swept past him, a large formation jade pendant appearing in his hand. He was in no hurry to refine it, instead continuing to pursue the Qingfeng Sect cultivators.
At that moment, the Qingfeng Sect's Tianji Hall had already been occupied by the two sects' cultivators. Under Zhao Li and Song Yin's joint command, they left a few people to block the entrance, preventing any Qingfeng Sect cultivators from approaching. The rest maintained their previous formation and continued to advance, suppressing the Qingfeng Sect cultivators' escape routes.
Although Lu Ye had broken through a certain area of the Cool Breeze Gate's array, the array was still operating. After Lu Ye retrieved his array flags, the area that had been broken through was slowly recovering under the effects of the array's self-repair.
At that speed, it wouldn't take long for the Great Formation to completely recover.
This meant that if the Qingfeng Sect cultivators wanted to escape, they could only escape through that opening. Otherwise, there was no other way out.
But how could the two sects' cultivators allow them to escape in that direction so easily?
In all the confrontations between the two factions on the Spirit Stream Battlefield, there had never been a time when the Qingfeng Sect's Great Formation cultivators had fallen into such despair.
In the past, even if the Great Formation of the Qingfeng Sect's Great Formation was broken, they could still return to the Nine Provinces through the Tianji Hall. But now that the Tianji Hall had been occupied, the Great Formation that was supposed to shelter them from the wind and rain had become their prison.
In this desperate situation, the surviving Qingfeng Sect cultivators didn't resign themselves to their fate. Instead, they began to counterattack.
However, the difference in numbers was too great.
The Qingfeng Sect's cultivators were already inferior to the two sects' combined forces. Now that some of them had died and some of them had escaped from the Tianji Hall, they only had less than two hundred cultivators left.
How could they be a match for eight to nine hundred cultivators?
