Chapter 154 – Great Battle Dragon Formation
As a result, their speed increased.
As Wang Lin flew, he adjusted his Ji Realm. After all this use, his Ji Realm was damaged, so it remained within his consciousness and slowly repaired itself.
At noon on the second day, the Evil Warrior Sect came into view. Wang Lin’s Ji Realm had recovered. Looking up at the mountain, the peak had transformed into the shape of a dragon. It looked like a dragon was sitting on top of the mountain. On the dragon’s head stood a white-haired old man. His face was dark and his gaze was cold as he stared at Wang Lin.
Ten Core Formation cultivators hovered in the air. Together, they formed a sword formation. When they saw Wang Lin, they all revealed complicated expressions. They were filled with fear and shock. The ten formed a circle with ten flying swords intertwined in the center. The swords clanged as they clashed, causing sparks to fly.
The person on the dragon’s head waved his hand. The dragon’s eyes lit up, and waves of spiritual energy radiated from it. A cultivator stood on each of the dragon’s scales. With the glint of their swords, the dragon seemed alive.
Shang Guanmo observed carefully for a moment then said, “Great Battle Dragon Formation!”
Mu Bei immediately explained, “This Great Battle Dragon Formation is the sect-protecting formation of the Fighting Evil Sect. Rumor has it that only Nascent Soul stage cultivators can break through it, but not many in the sect believe it. After all, no one in this area possesses such a powerful formation.”
Wang Lin was somewhat skilled in formations, and after looking at it for a while, Li Muwan suddenly said, “This is not a formation, but a wondrous spell that channels the souls of everyone on the dragon to the person above the head, granting him a certain level of cultivation.”
At this moment, the eyes of the person standing on the dragon’s head lit up and he shouted, “Fellow cultivator with the punishment mark, I am the sect head of the Fighting Evil Sect, Jie Donglei, with 13,562 disciples of the Fighting Evil Sect. Since Elder Qian Kun provoked you, your killing him was no big deal, but then you came here. If you win this battle, the entire Fighting Evil Sect will listen to you, but if you lose, then don’t blame this old man for taking the cultivation pill. Do you dare to fight?”
His voice roared like thunder and spread throughout the area. The 13,562 disciples shouted in unison, creating a sound wave that tore through the clouds in the sky. Starting from the base of the dragon and rapidly moving upward, over ten thousand flying swords shone, forming a ring of spiritual energy. The higher they went, the denser the ring became, with the one at the top emitting a powerful pressure.
At the same time, ten Core Formation cultivators quickly flew toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin released Li Muwan and leaped forward with a red flash in his eyes. The ten cultivators’ bodies trembled. They didn’t dare to move forward. These ten had used various methods to determine Wang Lin’s strength over the past few days, so when they saw Wang Lin attack them, they couldn’t help but hesitate.
Wang Lin’s gaze swept over them before dragging the dragon vein behind him, causing thousands of bodies to slam into the dragon.
When the thousands of corpses collided with the dragon, they transformed into a massive wall of red mist. This was thanks to the protective barrier. Suddenly, the entire Evil Fighting Sect’s protective formation was dyed crimson.
All the rings gathered on the dragon’s head. A powerful aura erupted from its body, and its clothes tore apart as it suddenly grew several times its original size.
Powerful spiritual energy poured out like ocean waves from the old man and pushed him straight from the middle stage of Core Formation to the late stage of Core Formation. Then continue to break through, reaching a stage like the early stage of Nascent Soul without Nascent Soul.
This pseudo Nascent Soul stage usually only occurs in puppets created by countries with high levels of cultivation.
Jei Donglei let out a roar as he leaped into the air. He glared coldly at the Core Formation cultivators and shouted, “Except for the trash, get lost!”
The ten Core Formation cultivators revealed expressions of relief as they immediately stepped aside and stared coldly at Wang Lin.
Jie Donglei’s gaze fell on Wang Lin, then he grinned and said, “I’ve managed to gather all the rumors about you on your way here. It seems that people below the Nascent Soul stage can’t hurt you, but now that I have the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator, let me see how you’ll defeat me!”
Li Muwan’s face turned pale. She looked at Wang Lin with a worried gaze. However, when she saw the slight disdain in Wang Lin’s eyes, she felt relaxed for some unknown reason.
Nan Mu and Nan Bei secretly groaned. They had originally thought that Wang Lin would definitely win, but now the situation had changed. What awaited them was Sect Master Jie Donglei’s wrath. It had to be said that the Evil Fighting Sect had extremely vicious methods when it came to dealing with traitors.
Shang Guanmo’s soul blood essence was in Wang Lin’s hands, so if Wang Lin died, he would die too. He silently cursed in his mind as he tried to think of a way out of this situation.
Wang Lin sneered in his heart as he leaped forward and landed 30 feet in front of Jie Donglei while staring at him coldly.
“Don’t you know the death spell? Let this old man see how powerful your death spell is!” Jie Donglei’s body disappeared and reappeared more than 300 feet away from Wang Lin.
As Jei Donglei disappeared, Wang Lin retreated until he was 500 feet away from Jei Donglei. Jei Donglei disappeared again, and Wang Lin retreated once more to 700 feet away. At this distance, he began to think.
Jei Donglei frowned as he looked at Wang Lin and sneered, “What is the meaning of this?”
Wang Lin’s eyes revealed a serious expression before he said, “I won’t fight anymore.” After that, he flew to Li Muwan’s side and grabbed her waist. He moved to a mountain 1000 feet away, sat down, and sneered at Jei Donglei.
Jei Donglei frowned even harder and said in a heavy tone, “If that’s the case, then this matter…” Before he could finish speaking, his body disappeared. When he reappeared, he was right in front of Wang Lin. He opened his mouth and spat out a ray of white light. The light transformed into a ferocious tiger that pounced on Wang Lin.
At the same time, his right hand waved and an electric net appeared. The net quickly flew toward Wang Lin.
Wang Lin remained calm as he grinned. As the tiger leaped toward him, the demon within the dragon vein leaped out and devoured the tiger.
At the same time, the crystal sword flew out, and the surrounding electric net emitted a popping sound. After several strikes from the sword, the electric net shattered into pieces.
As for Jei Donglei, an ice flame emitting waves of cold energy appeared in Wang Lin’s hand. The moment the ice flame appeared, Jei Donglei’s expression changed and he immediately retreated. However, at that moment, he saw the red lightning in Wang Lin’s eyes move, and his soul trembled.
The shock to his soul caused his body to freeze. As a result, the ice flames struck his chest. The ice spread rapidly, and blood gushed from his mouth. He quickly retreated, not stopping until he was within 300 feet of the dragon’s head.
He formed a seal with both hands and pounded his chest several times. Then he swallowed several pills and roared. Only then did the ice that had covered half his body begin to shrink back into his chest and was forced out.
The ice flame flickered, its color dimming as it flew back into Wang Lin’s hand.
From the start, Wang Lin didn’t take the initiative and just stood 1,000 feet away with a mocking expression.
Jei Donglei’s hand stopped hitting his chest. He looked at Wang Lin and suddenly asked, “How did you know?”
Wang Lin said calmly, “I didn’t discover anything. I just noticed that your aura felt different at 300 feet compared to 500 feet, and at 1,000 feet your aura was almost out of the Nascent Soul realm.”
Li Muwan was truly intelligent and immediately realized what was going on. She asked softly, “The injury is fake too?”
“The injury inflicted by the ice flame was real, but when he retreated to within 300 feet of the dragon’s head, the spiritual energy had completely healed him. He was just trying to get me to fight him within 300 feet of the dragon’s head.” This was the first time Wang Lin had spoken this much to Li Muwan, but even as he spoke to her, his gaze never left Jei Donglei.
When he first saw the formation, he was shocked. If such a thing existed, wouldn’t he be invincible in this area? As long as he had enough people to feed him spiritual energy, he could truly attain a level of power as high as a Soul Formation cultivator. If so, wouldn’t the Fighting Evil Sect already be the ruler of this area?
If you think about it, this technique definitely has a fatal flaw. The first thing that would come to mind is that the time is short, and the user of this technique must have known this, so they could have used some method to compensate for this flaw.
If that were the only weakness, it would still be a very powerful technique. However, Wang Lin realized that Jie Donglei had been taunting him into fighting instead of directly coming to kill him. He found this very strange. He then calculated the distance between them and found that it was about 900 feet.
With that in mind, Wang Lin advanced to 300 feet, then back to 500 feet, 700 feet, and finally 1000 feet before realizing the true fatal weakness of this technique.
The further away he was from the dragon head, the lower the sect master’s cultivation level.
Jei Donglei’s expression was extremely unsettled. Even though he had such a high cultivation level, he couldn’t truly use it. Although Wang Lin’s guess was slightly off, it wasn’t far from the truth. His cultivation level would be greatly weakened at a height of 900 feet, and at that distance, his chances of winning were slim. And if Wang Lin retreated any further, past 1,000 feet, his cultivation level would immediately drop from the Nascent Soul realm and fall back to the Core Formation stage.
