Ye Xiao and Song Yourong were the first ones to climb up to the platform and went to stand on the left side. Following them were Xu Dingfeng and Ning Feiming who went to stand on the right side of the platform.
In front of both the teams was a pillar standing and a giant formation was covering the entire pillar.
"Great Annihilation Earth Formation!"
Ye Xiao muttered in a low voice. His sound was so low that even Song Yourong, who was standing beside him, failed to hear.
Ye Xiao was able to recognize this formation the moment he saw it. He also immediately found out the flaws in the formation and knew how to break them. After all, he had merged with the Ancient God of Formation's memories. If he could not even find out the flaws in the formations, then he was simply not qualified to have the memories of the Ancient God of Formation.
It was at this moment when the Third Elder lit up the incense stick and said, "Start!"
The moment the Third Elder told them to start, Ning Feiming and Xu Dingfeng went close to the pillar in front of them and started observing them closely.
On the other hand, Ye Xiao kept standing at his spot. Song Yourong was the one who went forward and started observing the pillar in front of her closely as she doesn't want to lose to Xu Dingfeng.
But she was surprised when she saw Ye Xiao standing at his previous spot. She was confused and thought that Ye Xiao might be scared and doesn't know how to break this formation.
She doesn't know that Ye Xiao knew very well how to break this formation.
The Great Annihilation Earth Formation was an offensive type formation and to break this formation, one must have to endure at least the first wave of its attack.
The moment someone touched the formation, the formation will start attacking in waves after waves. Only after enduring attacks of the first wave could one break this formation.
.....
When Xu Dingfeng and Ning Feiming saw Ye Xiao not moving, both of them smiled in disdain. They also thought that Ye Xiao was scared and doesn't know how to break this formation.
"I'll start then!"
Ning Feiming turned at the pillar in front of him and said before raising his hand. Streams of spirit energy gathered on the tip of his index finger as he touched the central part of the formation.
"Buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, the entire formation lit up and a terrifying pressure enveloped both Ning Feiming and Xu Dingfeng.
"Thup!" "Thup!"
"Ahhh!" "Ahhh!"
This pressure forced the two of them to kneel down on the ground. They felt their knee bone cracking as they groaned in pain.
In an instant, the Spiritual Energy that filled the world became violently restless. The gorgeous Array Pattern erupted with a dazzling light. Symbols on the formation that was covering the pillar circulated and shone brilliantly.
At the same time, the countless iron chains emerged out from the pillar, attacking Ning Feiming and Xu Dingfeng. These iron chains were like the tentacles of the Octopus as they immediately bind the two people and pulled them.
Both Xu Dingfeng and Ning Feiming were pulled and tied to the pillar. It was at this moment when many wind blades were formed in the air and slashed at the two of them.
"Help!"
"Save me!"
Both of them shouted in terror. They could see death coming in their ways.
It was at this moment when a resplendent light appeared and all the wind blades dissipated. The iron chains binding Xu Dingfeng and Ning Feiming also disappeared, freeing them.
Ning Feiming, the so-called Immortal Formation Grandmaster was not even able to recognize this formation let alone break it.
It was Su Hao, leader of the Formation Guild who took action and rescued the two of them at the crucial moment, otherwise, both of them would have lost their life.
The Second and Third Elder shook their heads in disappointment. All the supporters of Xu Dingfeng also had a disappointed face.
When they saw Ning Feiming at first, they were excited and confident that Xu Dingfeng will definitely win this formation battle, after all, Ning Feiming was a reputed genius and Immortal Formation Grandmaster. Who in the Golden Kingdom doesn't know him.
Now that people saw him failing so miserably, how can they not be disappointed?
But when they thought about Ye Xiao who did not even dare to step forward to take a look at the formation on the pillar, their expressions calmed down. They thought that Ye Xiao and Song Yourong will also definitely fail to break this formation.
It was at this moment when Ye Xiao walked forward and said, "Miss Song, please retreat, leave this formation to me."
"Are you sure?"
Song Yourong knew that she doesn't have the means to break this formation. When she heard Ye Xiao saying to leave the formation to him so confidently, she was surprised at first before asking if he was sure or not.
"Hmm" Ye Xiao nodded his head.
Song Yourong then retreated to the corner of the platform and let Ye Xiao deal with the formation. She knew she doesn't have the ability to break the formation and although she still didn't completely believe that Ye Xiao could break this formation, at least, Ye was someone who won against her and he was also at the same level as Ning Feiming. He was also an Immortal Formation Grandmaster, so she chose to believe in him.
The least she could do now was to believe in Ye Xiao.
"Humph! Bragging so shamelessly." The third elder said when he heard Ye Xiao. Others also thought that Ye Xiao was just bragging and started accusing him and saying some harsh words.
Ye Xiao ignored these people because he was here for the two materials he needed to break the Third Seal of the Three Style Life Seal of the Sea Dragon Spear.
Ignoring them, Ye Xiao flicked his finger and a ray of light shot out, colliding with the formation on the pillar.
"Crash!"
The same thing happened as it happened with Xu Dingfeng and Ning Feiming. The entire formation light up and the symbols on the formation also started lighting.
A huge pressure enveloped Ye Xiao but failed to make him kneel. Ye Xiao was someone who can fight against even an Immortal Emperor Realm martial warrior. This little pressure was enough to make him kneel.
"Interesting!" When Su Hao and Great Elder saw this, they nodded their heads and became curious if Ye Xiao could break this Great Annihilation Earth Formation or not.
It has to know that these two Great Annihilation Earth Formation was personally laid down by the Formation Guild Leader, Su Hao. His level far surpassed the Immortal Formation Grandmaster.
Ye Xiao was able to withstand the pressure from the formation laid down by Su Hao really attracted everyone's attention.
The airflow in the sky trembled and under the countless gazes that were filled with shock, many iron chains shot out from the pillar at Ye Xiao. These iron chains wanted to bind Ye Xiao but Ye Xiao easily dodged them by executing the Spirit Devour Escape.
"Buzz! Buzz!"
As if the formation was aware of its failure in binding Ye Xiao, it buzzed twice and lit up with golden light before quickly gathering together and taking shape, turning into incomparably sturdy golden pythons.
Then tens of golden pythons intertwined together, like dragons gathering together.
As if they were made of gold, these golden pythons looked gorgeous and shone brightly. But the feeling that people had of the golden pythons quickly faded away as the cold death aura swept down on Ye Xiao. Every python gave off a strong sense of destruction. Their cold golden eyes made people's scalps tingle.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the golden pythons shook with incomparable fury as though they were facing their mortal enemy. They moved towards Ye Xiao and attacked him.
Those golden pythons flew down, transforming into rays of light, with the might of a thunderbolt, they blasted towards the Ye Xiao. The berserk aura of destruction was like the suppression of a mountain. The monstrous aura caused the space to distort violently.
"Thump!"
At this point, a violent wave of energy exploded out, causing the dust to fly in all directions.
People saw hundreds of bolts of destructive lightning intertwining each other and covering Ye Xiao's figure. Then the power of lightning burst out from Ye Xiao's body and collided with the golden pythons.
"BOOM!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The moment the two forces collided against each other, a terrifying explosion rang out, and following that were many small explosive sounds that echoed out and spread in the surroundings.
People saw Ye Xiao standing safe and sound in his place, only the ground below his feet was crumbled a little. On the other hand, the golden pythons shattered into many pieces before falling down on the ground and dissipating in thin air.
After all, these golden pythons were made up of energy and were born because of the formation.
