Chapter 374: The Endless Battle

Since the battle had already begun, Fang Lie simply abandoned all his worries and prepared for a grand display.

First, the million magnetic puppets, serving as the outer defense, raised their arms together during the Divine Lightning strike. They worked collaboratively in the air to form a massive shield-like structure of Earth’s Magnetic Divine Light, covering an area of several miles and reaching several tens of meters thick!

With the enhancement of the Formation, the combined efforts of the million magnetic puppets were formidable. No matter what kind of Divine Lightning it was, it couldn’t break through this layer of protection. Various forms of Divine Lightning were directly ground down by the Earth’s Magnetic Divine Light, posing no threat at all.

As the million-strong army showcased their power, the dozens of Earth’s Magnetic Divine Light Towers on the magnetic flying boat sprang into action, unleashing tentacles made of Earth’s Magnetic Divine Light sweeping across the pass!

The cultivators at the pass gasped in shock and hurriedly activated the protective array on the pass. Glowing with the brilliance of the Five Elements, a thick layer of protection enveloped the entire pass.

It must be said that the pass’s great array was indeed remarkable; it was not built in vain by the Jin Family over many years of dedication. They had originally thought the Fang Family was entirely fallen and that this land would permanently belong to the Jin Family. Therefore, when constructing it, they invested immense effort, spending countless high-rank materials. Even the Higher-ups of the Jin Family personally helped to arrange the protective array to safeguard this treasure trove!

Now, their efforts finally yielded results; even if the Earth’s Magnetic Divine Light restrained the powers of the Five Elements and Yin-Yang, it couldn’t break through this protection layer anytime soon!

Fang Lie took a look and immediately realized that this would be a tough battle. The opponent’s formation at least covered an area of over one hundred thousand miles, capable of drawing vast quantities of Spiritual Energy to contend with him. Breaking through it would not be an easy task!

However, Fang Lie showed no sign of anxiety at all. He sneered and said, "Did you think hiding in your turtle shell would save you from me? How ridiculous!"

Then, Fang Lie shouted, "Mr. Suan Mei, pull out the foundation of the formation!"

The Seven Dragon True Immortals and Mr. Suan Mei were both guests serving Fang Lie. This mission into the Lost Forest could likely lead to a great war; thus, Fang Lie had taken them along just in case.

During the Lost Forest expedition, the Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship displayed immense power, and they had not needed to use them, initially fearing it would be a wasted trip. However, now an unexpected situation had arisen!

It was time for Mr. Suan Mei’s local specialty to shine; as long as each foundation of the formation was removed, no matter how strong the formation was, it would become a trivial matter!

However, Mr. Suan Mei’s expression changed in shock, and he said softly, "Young Master, the Jin Family seems to be one of the Five Great Family Clans of the Mo Sect, with the Thunder Tribulation Immortal overseeing them. Are you certain you want to eliminate them all?"

"The Thunder Tribulation Immortal is nothing to me!" Fang Lie sneered. "I’ve dealt with worse before. Just do your thing; I’ll handle anything that comes up! This world and this Mo Sect cannot let these scoundrels get away with oppressing others!"

Hearing Fang Lie’s words, Mr. Suan Mei felt encouraged. He had long realized that Fang Lie had strong backing, which was why he had willingly allied himself. However, he never expected Fang Lie’s backing to be this formidable, indifferent even to the Thunder Tribulation Immortal and the Five Great Family Clans? This was truly impressive!

With such powerful support, the future would surely be bright!

Thinking of this, Mr. Suan Mei immediately brightened up, quickly took out an ancient mirror, and exclaimed, "Since the young master is unafraid, I have no regrets either! Please, young master, remain patient; I will break the formation right away!"

With that, Mr. Suan Mei vanished in a flash.

He soon appeared high in the air, wielding the bronze mirror treasure, calculating the structure of the formation.

Seeing this, the Jin Family members were startled. Their ability to withstand the attack of a million-strong army depended entirely on the power of their protective mountain array. Without the shelter of the protective array, the million magnetic puppets alone could wipe out the thousands of Jin Family cultivators present without requiring the Earth’s Magnetic Force Warship or Fang Lie to intervene!

The leading elder naturally could not permit this to happen, but alas, Fang Lie’s offensive was too fierce; he simply couldn’t spare any effort to deal with Mr. Suan Mei.

In desperation, he could only threaten, "Sir over there, you must think this through. Our Jin Family has tens of thousands of cultivators, and we have the Thunder Tribulation Immortal overseeing us. If you dare assist Fang Lie against us, it would be a life-and-death feud for the Jin Family! No matter who your background is, we will not rest until death!"

"Hehe~" Mr. Suan Mei smiled slightly, continuing his work while teasing, "So, you really don’t know who I am?"

"Quite so, can you reveal your name?" the elder from the Jin Family demanded.

"Ha, do you think I’m foolish?" Mr. Suan Mei laughed. "As long as I don’t say it, you won’t know who I am. How can you seek revenge on me then?"

"You~" The Thunder Tribulation Immortal from the Jin Family was nearly furious enough to explode.

Meanwhile, Mr. Suan Mei had no mercy with his words, ridiculing, "From you, one can see how useless the Jin Family members are. You don’t even know who the target is and still dare to threaten? Truly ridiculous!"

While speaking, Mr. Suan Mei found a crucial point and without further ado, unleashed the powerful Sixth-rank water element Dao magic Water Dragon Charge.

A hundred-foot-long water dragon descended from the sky, directly crashing into the ground and creating a massive hole.

As the large hole appeared, the Jin Family members distinctly felt that the power of the protective array had weakened slightly.

Though this weakness was less than one-thousandth and had a minimal impact, it was a very frightening sign. It meant the enemy truly had the capability to calculate and destroy the hidden nodes of the formation.

The current Great War was evenly matched, and once one side’s strength diminished, it would quickly lead to a devastating defeat or even collapse.

There was no need for Mr. Suan Mei to destroy all the nodes; even destroying just thirty percent or even twenty could shatter the already fragile balance and lead to the Jin Family’s downfall!

"Damn it!" The leader of the Jin family suddenly turned pale. He realized they could no longer remain defensive, as that would only lead to a passive end. Their only opportunity now was to organize Mr. Suan Mei for sabotage, ideally to eliminate him completely.

A master of the formation path was rarer than a master of the pill path, and he couldn’t believe there could be another near Fang Lie!

This Elder was also decisive. After thinking this, he quickly began to mobilize troops. He personally summoned a massive three-hundred-foot bronze ship, bypassing the frontline battlefield to break through on the left, causing a distant distraction to Fang Lie.

Meanwhile, five Wind Tribulation Immortals flanked around the battlefield on the right, heading straight for Mr. Suan Mei, determined not to rest until he was dead.

Faced with this situation, Fang Lie merely sneered before dispatching the Great Earth General and the Seven Dragon True Immortals.

The Great Earth General transformed into Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light, shooting directly toward the leader of the Jin family.

One was a Fire Tribulation Immortal, the other an eighth-rank puppet, one wielded a seventh-rank bronze treasure ship, and the other bore the terrifying strength to control Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light!

When the two sides clashed, an extremely intense battle erupted. The bronze warship of the Jin family roared like a monster from the heavens, using its massive and agile body to charge forward while relentlessly activating all the weapons aboard.

With weaponry like the Annihilation Divine Light, Taiyi Divine Lightning, and the Blood Transformation Heavenly Bow, various weapons and Dao magic exploded with countless glimmers, nearly overwhelming the earth’s magnetic force puppets!

However, the Great Earth General was no ordinary opponent. With one move, he unleashed the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light in waves of substantial white light that erupted from him. Regardless of any divine lightning, divine light, or arrow, they were all crushed to ashes!

In this moment, Fang Lie understood deeply what it meant to counter the Yin-Yang and Five Elements power! The Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light was genuinely overpowering, and it was no wonder so many cultivators pursued it. This force truly acted without reason; as long as the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light was dense enough, there was hardly anything it couldn’t dissolve!

Whether it was Dao magic and divine skills or various treasures, they all relied heavily on the Yin-Yang and Five Elements energies and were thus threatened. This light could destroy anyone and anything!

The leader of the Jin family recognized this, feeling utterly helpless. He was skilled in controlling his life-bound treasure ship, but the metal element was completely suppressed by the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light.

No matter how he attacked, he posed no threat to the Great Earth General. Moreover, the Great Earth General, though small in size, was exceptionally agile. Compared to the massive treasure ship that easily spanned hundreds of feet, he resembled a dragonfly playfully buzzing around a clumsy pig!

Although the pig was powerful, trying to catch the dragonfly was akin to dreaming in broad daylight.

Furthermore, the Great Earth General was far more formidable than a dragonfly. His Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light not only intercepted various attacks but also continuously bombarded the enemy’s life-bound treasure ship.

Despite various defensive measures put in place, the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light relentlessly spread toward the ship’s core, and if it infiltrated, the treasure ship would meet its end!

The leader of the Jin family found himself at a loss, filled with a deep sense of grief and anger. With his Fire Tribulation mid-stage strength, he shouldn’t have feared an eighth-rank puppet, and even if he were outmatched, he could have defended himself with relative ease.

Yet this time, the situation was special; as a metal element user, encountering the Divine Earth’s Magnetic Force Light was like a mouse facing a cat! He was utterly overwhelmed, and before long, he found himself in a disadvantageous position, being relentlessly attacked.

If things continued this way, he faced the danger of defeat in less than half an hour!

Fortunately, the leader of the Jin family prepared a backup plan. Besides himself, there were a few other Wind Tribulation Immortals. He thought to himself, even though there had been no progress on his end, if he could hold the strongest eighth-rank puppet in check, the remaining juniors should be able to achieve their tasks, right?

As long as they could kill that damn master of the formation, they could retreat, which was far better than stubbornly fighting against this damned puppet!

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but glance over at the other battlefield, but upon seeing it, he nearly lost his composure with anger!
