Chapter 221: Chapter 221: The Astonishing Large Formation, The Birth of the Demon Dragon King
Honestly, Ye Feng had not expected this.
The thirty-six miniature cave heaven worlds he had laboriously created were actually just for setting up a special formation?
Could it be that this formation was of a medium or even large scale?
“Master Ye must be very puzzled, and very curious as to why the Myriad Islands Alliance would spend a fortune to have you create thirty-six miniature cave heaven worlds,” Mo Minxi suddenly spoke up, catching Ye Feng’s attention.
“Indeed, I am curious,” Ye Feng nodded.
“Then take a good look at the Myriad Islands Alliance’s next masterpiece!” the Blue Dragon King exclaimed with an excited laugh.
He held the array plate with his left hand and continuously traced in the air with his right hand, which was forming mystical seals, leaving behind strange dragon-shaped runes. His vital energy converged, gradually transforming into a ten-meter-long purple-gold gigantic dragon.
“Roar…”
This giant dragon suddenly roared, spewing countless blue lights towards the sky, reaching dozens of miles into the high atmosphere, then spreading all around to form a pale purple hemisphere shield with a diameter of several dozen miles, protecting the whole main island.
“Such a colossal formation!” Ye Feng was deeply shocked.
A diameter of several dozen miles?
This was definitely a large-scale formation!
According to legend, such formations were comparable to the top-tier formations of the Divine Origin Realm; if they were defensive in nature, they could block all attacks below the Divine Origin Realm.
Even for someone of the Divine Origin Realm, it would not be easy to break through.
“Hahaha… The ‘Thirty-Six Heavenly Array’ is preliminarily complete. The power of space is indeed worthy; even a minuscule amount is sufficiently powerful,” the Blue Dragon King laughed heartily.
Ye Feng’s eyebrows raised as he seemed to understand.
Mo Minxi spoke softly, “The Thirty-Six Heavenly Array is a composite formation personally created by a Divine Origin Realm great power from the Royal Capital of the Mystique Kingdom. My father was fortunate to have made his acquaintance and was able to acquire it for the low price of a hundred thousand spirit stones.”
Ye Feng asked, “May I know what functions this formation serves?”
Mo Minxi pointed to the shield in the sky, explaining, “This formation has three functions: first, defense; second, spirit gathering; third, sealing!”
Whoosh!
A great wind suddenly arose between heaven and earth. The core nucleus of the thirty-six miniature spirit veins suddenly lit up, compressing the spiritual energy vortex at their location by one third, and the excess spiritual energy gathered at the peak of Wan Ren Peak like numerous divine dragons.
Ye Feng activated his Spirit Eyes and saw the spiritual energy density at the peak of the main mountain beginning to increase. In the blink of an eye, it formed a medium-sized spiritual energy vortex with a diameter of three hundred meters.
The covered area’s spiritual energy density was comparable to a medium-sized spirit vein!
“A man-made cultivation holy land that rivals medium-sized spirit veins, is this the purpose of the Myriad Islands Alliance?” Ye Feng seemed to understand.
Spirit veins are classified as miniature, minor, medium-sized, and large…
Generally, a miniature spirit vein is the standard for one-star forces.
A minor spirit vein is the standard for two-star rank forces.
Going further up, a medium-sized spirit vein is the standard for three-star forces; within the entire Southern River Basin, only the County King City has one, treated as an ancestral treasure.
Moreover, a medium-sized spirit vein is the foundation for a force striving to reach the three-star rank. The Myriad Islands Alliance spent a fortune to create thirty-six cave heaven worlds and set up the Thirty-Six Heavenly Array. To Ye Feng, it could only be for the purpose of reaching a three-star force.
As for large spirit veins which exceed the medium-sized ones, the entire Mystique Kingdom has only one in the Royal Capital, the only large spirit vein within tens of thousands of miles, and it is also the foundation of the entire kingdom.
“A spirit vein is the foundation of a cultivation force, but indeed, the original intention of creating the ‘Thirty-Six Heavenly Array’ was not merely to gather spiritual energy, but rather due to sealing,” said Mo Minxi after pondering for a moment.
She was not worried about Ye Feng leaking their secrets.
Because Ye Feng was too weak.
Although she had learned from Elder Hongmeng that Ye Feng’s strength could roughly reach the Seventh Order of the Element Gathering Realm, in front of the two-star ranked Myriad Islands Alliance, this level of strength simply was not significant.
Not to mention the five Spirit Sea Realm experts around, there were no fewer than thirty high order Element Gathering Realm experts at the Seventh Order and above in the entire Myriad Islands Alliance.
Therefore, telling these things to Ye Feng, Mo Minxi did not need to worry.
“Sealing?” Ye Feng was quite surprised to hear this reason.
“Yes, it is indeed for sealing some terrifying entity that is buried underground. Now that the formation is complete, we no longer need to worry,” the Blue Dragon King said as he returned nearby, storing away the array plate.
Ye Feng pointed to a mountain peak and asked, “I am very curious, was creating thirty-six miniature cave heaven worlds not to expand space, but to assist in setting up the formation?”
“Exactly! The Thirty-Six Heavenly Array requires the power of space; without this force to stabilize it, the formation would not be able to be set up,” the Blue Dragon King explained. “The miniature cave heaven worlds contain trace amounts of the power of space, which can be borrowed by the formation, hence we needed you to create thirty-six miniature cave heaven worlds.”
“I see,” Ye Feng understood.
Now that the great task was accomplished, he could no longer be of help; it was time to prepare for departure.
“Master Ye, this is the other half of the remuneration I promised you,” Blue Dragon King said as he tossed a storage bag to Ye Feng, who caught it with his hand.
Once his consciousness entered the bag, Ye Feng’s eyes lit up.
Inside the storage bag were two hundred middle-grade spirit stones, and the rest were precious refining materials scooped up from the Southern River Lake, enough to sustain the development of the Misty Sect for some time.
“Thank you,” Ye Feng said, folding his hands in gratitude.
Not only had he crafted the Five Elements Spirit Sword on this trip, but he had also gained so much more. It was a windfall that greatly enhanced the foundation of the Misty Sect.
“At this stage, our Misty Sect should be richer than most One-Star forces, right?” Ye Feng muttered to himself.
Boom!
Just then, an unexpected change occurred.
The entire main island suddenly shook, as if struck by some terrifying creature from beneath, causing the surrounding water to quiver violently. Countless splashes leaped into the sky, exploding into mist, obscuring the view.
“What’s happening?” Ye Feng’s expression darkened.
Recalling the word “seal” mentioned by Mo Minxi, Ye Feng looked at the ground and saw enormous fissures like canyons between several mountains, with a sinister dragon-shaped creature emerging from them, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.
“Roar!”
It was a hundred-meter-long Crimson Giant Dragon!
It raised its head skyward and let out a roar of fury.
The sound waves resonated outwards, shattering all the trees within a kilometer radius.
“You vile beast, still daring to be rampant?”
A deep, resonant voice rose from deep beneath the ground.
The next moment, a handsome middle-aged man in a pale blue robe flew out from the crack in the ground. He formed hand seals and then one hand grew to a hundred meters long, grabbed the Crimson Giant Dragon, and slammed it onto the ground, leaving a dragon-shaped crater.
“Mo Tianlong, you must die!” the Crimson Giant Dragon roared.
It suddenly shrank and transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in strange attire, with red hair like burning flames, and the words “Demon” on the front and “King” on the back of his clothes.
“It’s him!”
Ye Feng’s face changed dramatically.
In the nightmare he had last night, hadn’t he seen the Demon Dragon King brutally defeat Blue Dragon King and Mo Minxi?
Could it be that it wasn’t a dream, but a kind of prediction?
“Can I predict the future?”
Ye Feng thought, shaking with shock.
Mo Minxi, Blue Dragon King, and the others were so focused on the battle between the handsome man named “Mo Tianlong” and the Demon Dragon King that they hadn’t noticed Ye Feng’s changing expression.
“Demon Dragon King, with the formation suppressing, your so-called incarnation of evil thoughts is no longer a match for me. Now scram back underground!” Mo Tianlong laughed heartily, feeling a sense of release as he brought his palm down on the Demon Dragon King, knocking him to the ground.
“Damn it!” the Demon Dragon King raged.
“Heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, imbue my body!” Mo Tianlong formed hand seals before pointing towards the sky, and a vast sea of spiritual energy surged toward him from all directions.
Thunder roared in the heavens and earth, and countless purple-golden lightning bolts struck down on the Demon Dragon King, charring him black, until he finally turned into a streak of demonic light and fled underground.
“Merge!”
Mo Tianlong snapped his fingers, and the gaping crevices on the ground began to close. Except for the dragon-shaped crater, the landscape returned to its original state.
“Finally, this fiend is suppressed,” Mo Tianlong breathed out, turning his head to look at Mo Minxi, Ye Feng, Blue Dragon King, and the others floating in mid-air.
“Father!”
Mo Minxi swayed as she rushed to greet him.
Ye Feng was initially startled, then a look of realization crossed his face: “So this man is Mo Tianlong, the Alliance Leader of the Myriad Islands; no wonder I couldn’t see him earlier—he was underground suppressing the Demon Dragon King.”
After pondering for a moment, Ye Feng chose to remain where he was.
At this moment, Mo Tianlong looked over, his gaze meeting Ye Feng’s.
