The Great Formation of Heavenly Fiends was the greatest killing formation Feinie could unleash at the moment. In order for her to deploy even stronger formations from the Formation Orb, she would have to improve her cultivation level.
Bam!
The crimson figure summoned by the formation surged in power and pierced into the ten thousand formations overhead. However, it only broke through the first formation before being crushed by the second.
The power of the combined formations was simply too great, far different from the ten thousand released by the Formation Orb. It created formations from light that could be retracted and shifted at will. Imbued with the strength of formations, but none of their weight, it was a method similar to the peak formation dao technique that set up formations without foundations.
On the other hand, the formations trapping Lu Yun and the others were anchored in the air with formation stones and disks, and their overlapping strength made each formation unbearably heavy. It wasnât so much a sign of the Feng Clanâs power, as it was the foundation that the Nephrite Court had built up.
The combined formations were weaker than the Qing Clanâs Arcane Goldenlight Formation and the Exalted Immortal Sectâs Diabolic Formation of Soul Refinement, but only slightly. If the ten thousand formations had been used in the ambush last time, Lu Yun wouldnât have been able to break them all, even with his stored pill tribulation.
âŠâŠ
âAgain!â Feinieâs body flickered with gold as she tapped into the core power of a golden immortal. One instance of the Great Formation of Heavenly Fiends broke, then another, and anotherâŠ.
Enormous shadowy fiends were continuously summoned and leapt into the air to tear at the weighty formations. More than a thousand were broken in roughly a dozen breaths, but that was still only a drop of water in the vast ocean.
The remaining nine thousand slammed down and instantaneously flattened Feinieâs defensive formations. Everyone on the fortress ship felt a great weight crushing their chests.
âOpen!â she screamed. Sheâd given up on breaking the formations and was instead channeling all of her power into the Formation Orb, unleashing five thousand defensive formations that barely shielded them from the great pressure.
Rumble!
The killing formations activated and surged, combining the terrifying power of nine thousand as one in that instant. Feinieâs five thousand could withstand a blow from a weapon of war, but they broke under the nine thousandâs combined power.
Blood seeped out the corner of her mouth.
âWhat should we do?!â Mo Qitian blanched. âThereâs at least a million heavenly soldiers at the ready. The Nephrite courtâs sparing no effort to kill you!â
Lu Yunâs face shifted unsteadily. Heâd known there would be traps, but this ambush had still exceeded his expectations. Ten thousand formations! The set up was enough to kill an arcane dao immortal! The court wasnât leaving him a sliver of hope and wanted to make his death a foregone conclusion, like a lion pouncing on a rabbit.
âShit, Iâm just a cultivator. Is all this really necessary?â Lu Yun gnashed his teeth. He hadnât heard from Yuchi Hanxing and the Black Tortoise in all this time, so the Sword Lake was obviously under siege as well. The Dusk Phalanx and divine beast must be fighting to keep themselves alive.
The power of a heavenly court was too great, and a foundation accumulated over eighty thousand years wasnât something a mere faction could rival. Even the Black Tortoise would have to bow down in submission in front of such a great entity.
Suddenly, a dragonâs howl and a tigerâs roar pierced through the sky, followed by the emergence of the two beasts.
âProtect us with formations, golden immortal girl!â said the dragon.
âUnderstood!â Feinie perked up and hurriedly channeled the Formation Orb to give them cover.
Here came the Dragon Prince and the Tiger Prince!
Back in the Skandha Extinction Tomb, the two had absorbed energy from Qing Hanâs starstone and deterred the akasha ghost with the strength of dao immortals. That fight had left them severely injured, and theyâd been resting deep within the Scroll of Shepherding Immortals ever since. Now that theyâd finally made a full recovery, Qing Han had summoned them to help.
Neither the Dragon Prince nor the Tiger Prince were living beings. They were feng shui layouts thatâd come to life replete with their own thoughts and autonomy, but they werenât truly alive. Bolstered by Qing Hanâs starstone, they shot out with the power of dao immortals, unaffected by Duskâs restriction on golden immortals due to the nature of their existence.
Though the ten thousand formations were powerful enough to kill arcane dao immortals, Feinie pushed the Formation Orb to its limits in an effort to protect the groupâs two defenders.
âTake these!â exclaimed Lu Yun. The Arcane Golden Bell and Skybearer Gates streaked into the two princesâ hands.
Heâd returned Skybearer to the Lu Clan, but the Lu ancestor had turned him down and given it back to the boy. Perhaps heâd had foreseen the clanâs future then.
âFantastic!â The Dragon Prince caught the gates with a piercing howl. Skybearer burst into blinding light and morphed into an enormous doorway in the air, its tremendous might expanding explosively to illuminate the heavens.
This was a dao immortal treasure that Lu Daoling had refined with his own power. Upon tapping into its power, the Dragon Prince opened up a portal leading elsewhere in the world. This was the real use of the treasure!
Clang!
Deafening tolls rang out with great violence, the tremendous sound waves filtering into Skybearerâs portal and barreling into the real world.
Clang!
The formation masters of the heavenly court, along with the innumerable heavenly soldiers maintaining the formations, were obliterated upon impact.
âWhatâs going on?!â The Feng immortal in charge gaped at the chaos. âThatâs the power of the Lu Clanâs Skybearer! How is Lu Yun able to tap into its real power without being in the dao immortal realm?â
Every dao immortal treasure possessed by the top clans had its own unique abilities, but only dao immortals could deploy them. Immortals beneath dao immortal realm might be able to wield the treasure, but only to bludgeon enemies with its raw power.
âDestroy that door!!â screamed the Feng immortal.
There were a million heavenly soldiers here, in addition to the ten thousand formations. Although the soldiers were only true immortals, their numbers granted them an incredible combined strength. A million swords took to the skies in unison, whistling through the air as they targeted the portal created by Skybearer.
Clang!
The Arcane Golden Bell tolled again, once again directing the sound out of the portal hovering in midair. This time, a golden tiger shadow emerged as well and reduced the million sword slashes into broken shards with a brisk shake of its body.
âImpossible!â cried the Feng immortal. The golden shadow rippled with clanging bell tolls and tiger roars, patently formed by the treasureâs sounds!
So there were two dao immortals on Lu Yunâs ship!? What was worse was that they wielded the dao treasures of two top factions, personally refined by the ancestors of both clans!
