Chapter 704: Against Death and Life Formation

Chapter 699 – Against Death and Life Grand Formation

The medicinal power of the Longevity Pill was being slowly absorbed, and Huangfu Song’s face slowly returned to its original color.

He looked around at the densely packed ice-sealed coffins around him, and after a moment of contemplation, he replied, ”Although these ice crystals are arranged in a haphazard manner and are simply stacked up, they seem to have no pattern to them. But from my many years of experience in dealing with formations, this place may ……”

With that said, he took out a set of Formation Breaking Jade Disks, projected a screen of light in front of the crowd, and diffracted the calculations on the spot.

In the light screen, the countless ice coffins that had been seen earlier were all turned into a single black dot, being localized and recorded. And then the perspective of the screen continued to rise, and the number and speed of the black dots appearing increased rapidly.

Vaguely, it could be seen from the light screen that these ice coffins were not all crowded in one place, but were indeed bound by some kind of power and arranged according to an unknown pattern.

“We can’t see the whole picture yet, perhaps we can only explore the whole place before we can see what kind of formation is shrouding this lost domain.” Huangfu Song scrutinized the light screen, and after a long time, shook his head and said with some regret.

“Then don’t just stand there, hurry up and get going. If we stay here for a long time, we don’t know what other weird things we’ll encounter.” Dongfang Yao greeted, and the three of them continued to explore towards the remaining unknown area.

Another unknown amount of time passed.

“Stop!” Dongfang Yao suddenly raised his hand, stopping the path that continued onward.

“Brother Dongfang, what have you discovered?” Li Fan surveyed his surroundings and did not find anything out of place.

Dongfang Yao had a puzzled look on his face and seemed to be listening and distinguishing something with his side ears.

A moment later, he locked his sight on the bottom of the black sea of death.

“In this sea, there seems to be something alive. Like ……”

“Some sort of demonic beast?” Dongfang Yao said with some uncertainty.

Huangfu Song sniffed and was instantly creeped out, “It can’t be, this sea water is completely made up of dead qi, not to mention unusual demonic beasts, even if we cultivators accidentally fall into it and are contaminated by the dead qi, we won’t be able to hold out for long.”

Li Fan, on the other hand, was similarly looking at the incomparably calm black sea surface, pondering, “The extreme of death, and resurrection ……”

“I believe in Brother Dongfang’s judgment.” He opened his mouth to suggest, “If there really is a Dead Sea Beast that survives here all year round, perhaps our hope of getting out of the trap is going to rest on it. Brother Dongfang, you know the language of demonic beasts, why don’t you try to communicate with it?”

Dongfang Yao was a little hesitant, but in the end, he nodded his head. A strange ringing sound was emitted from his throat in a staccato manner. It was like a real ancient demonic beast was hissing.

Not long after, the sea surface that seemed to remain unchanged for ten thousand years suddenly rippled.

“There’s actually a real living thing?!” Huangfu Song’s face showed astonishment.

Dongfang Yao, however, cursed, “Damn it, this ghost thing can’t understand my words, instead it was scared away!”

“No matter, we’ll just follow it. Brother Dongfang lead the way!” Li Fan barked in a deep voice.

Dongfang Yao instantly reacted and hurriedly discerned the movement of the foreign beasts under the black sea and flew after it.

Li Fan and Huangfu Song followed closely behind.

The speed of this unknown foreign beast was not fast, and the three of them kept tailing along without slowing down.

During the chase, almost with the naked eye alone, Li Fan could feel that the number of ice coffins around him seemed to be gradually decreasing.

“Right here, it’s suddenly gone!” Suddenly, Dongfang Yao stopped his stance and turned back to look at Li Fan and the two of them.

Li Fan flew upwards for some distance before looking towards the surroundings in the distance.

Countless ice coffins shaped like small dots formed lines, like black pale dragons, stretching out from the sky.

In all directions, they converged here.

These lines were like the veins of the earth, flowing and gathering all the dead qi of this lost domain here. It was so dense that it vaguely changed in quality.

Huangfu Song also flew to Li Fan’s side, and after carefully observing, he found some clues.

“Here, it seems that this is where the eye of the great formation that shrouds the Mystic Domain is located.” His face was filled with gravity.

“Formation eye, doesn’t that mean that we will be able to get out from here?” Dongfang Yao exclaimed with great joy.

Huangfu Song, on the other hand, shook his head, “Not knowing the full picture of the grand formation yet, we can’t draw any conclusions. It is possible to get out from here, and it is also possible ……”

“Stimulating the grand formation to fight back on itself.” Li Fan continued with Huangfu Song’s words, “The scale of the formation here is rare in the world. In particular, it is also vaguely related to the way of life and death, which is bizarre to the extreme. I’m afraid that even a strong Harmonized Daoist may not be able to survive the attack of the grand formation.”

Huangfu Song sized up Li Fan, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, “Brother Li turns out to be familiar with formations as well?”

“Only slightly.” Li Fan nodded his head slightly as an admission.

“Then what should we do now, just stay here. I feel like I’m also affected by the death qi, and my vitality is draining away. I can’t believe I’m feeling a backache.” Dongfang Yao muttered under his breath, and after hesitating for a moment, he still took out a Longevity Pill and took it.

“Damn, that’s much better.” The speed at which he absorbed the medicinal power was much faster than Huangfu Song, and he instantly came back to life.

“It’s still necessary to figure out the full picture of the formation.” Li Fan and Huangfu Song glanced at each other and eventually coincided.

“It’s time to speed up the action.” As Huangfu Song was speaking, he coughed softly again. His face was gloomy and he had no choice but to eat the Longevity Pill again to slow down the flow of vitality.

For a long time, there was no danger found in the Misty Domain other than the vitality being devoured, plus there was not much of the Longevity Pill left. So the three of them next sort of let go and tried their best to fly away.

After Huangfu Song swallowed the last of the pills, they finally completed the complete mapping of the grand formation here.

“A stroke of God, a stroke of God.”

Huangfu Song stared at the image on the array-breaking jade disk’s projected light screen and couldn’t help but murmur.

Even Li Fan could not help but be attracted to the subtlety of this unknown formation.

According to common sense, with Huangfu Song and his attainments in formation, it was not necessary to see the whole picture to be able to judge the basic usefulness of the formation and even deduce the remaining parts of the formation.

But ……

In front of this unprecedented array with tens of billions of frozen cultivators as the materials for the array, all of their knowledge and experience were useless.

Before seeing the complete array diagram, this array is like a divine dragon hidden in the depths of the mountains and forests, concealed by the dazzling clouds and mists. Showing only half claws, if you do not know the existence of the “dragon” beforehand, it is impossible to judge what exactly is seen.

Until the last part of the formation appeared in front of their eyes.

The final sequence of the formation, instantly connecting the previously seen. It was like the finishing touch to a dragon, making the formation divine and complete.

This formation was so marvelous that it was difficult to describe it in words.

It seems to contain the wonders of heaven and earth, and is able to reverse the principles of life and death.

Li Fan and Huangfu Song were in front of the sketches of the formation, lost in thought for a long time, unable to speak for themselves.

Could they actually escape from the formation?

They were not sure.

There’s one more chapter still to come after one o’clock, so don’t wait up, brothers.
