Chapter 338: Counterattack
“This is the attack of a Semi-G.o.d Realm Beast?”
Several Elders stared at the formation and then looked at one another, feeling puzzled.
“The Flood Dragon Clan is a mid-level divine beast after all. Their attack power is too weak!”
Their attack power was too weak!
In their eyes, it was as if they were tickling the formation.
“Why does the attack of a Semi-G.o.d Realm Beast look similar to the attack of a True Realm Beast?”
“Are the Flood Dragons here to show off?” an Elder asked.
This attack seemed to indicate to the outside world that the Flood Dragons had attacked the Xuantian Sect.
“No, the spatial crack caused by that attack doesn’t seem to be something that a True Realm cultivator can do.”
“Except for swordsman cultivators who rely on powerful sword qi, they can occasionally cut through s.p.a.ce when they are in the True Realm. However, that s.p.a.ce is very tiny. Look at the spatial crack outside the formation, it is clearly visible.”
“This… then how do you explain why this attack looks like a tickle?”
Buzz.
The Sect-protecting Formation kept flas.h.i.+ng with bright light.
After each attack, the formation would extract a large amount of prenatal qi in the air around the Xuantian Sect to maintain the formation’s operation.
Soon, the prenatal qi in the air around the Xuantian Sect weakened.
In the sky above the Xuantian Sect, more than ten Flood Dragons had gloomy expressions on their faces.
In a short fifteen minutes, every Flood Dragon that attacked with all their might could not even break the formation.
“This s.h.i.+eld of the Xuantian Sect is too st.u.r.dy, isn’t it?”
“Back then, who was bragging about how they could destroy the Xuantian Sect’s formation with one strike.”
The Black Flood Dragon pursed his lips and looked at the White-bellied Flood Dragon.
“Back then, a few old demons at the initial stage of the Semi-G.o.d Realm on Mount Eternal could break the formation. Our Flood Dragon Clan is stronger than them. How is this possible?”
“Back then, the Ape Clan on Mount Eternal could break the formation because there was a traitor.”
“If they couldn’t even break the formation of the Xuantian Sect, that would be a joke.”
“Let’s combine our attacks! If we can’t break the s.h.i.+eld, we can only return in defeat.”
Then, a formation was formed by combining ten Flood Dragons power.
They attacked the formation of the Xuantian Sect at the same time.
Buzz!
The formation shook violently and quickly recovered.
“This…”
“Their formation has been strengthened a lot.”
Stunned!
They thought that if they attacked together, even if the formation did not collapse, it should begin to show signs of shattering.
Unexpectedly, the formation only jittered.
But the jitter was even more intense than before.
“When did the Xuantian Sect have such a formation expert? Aren’t they too lucky?”
How many years had it been since the Xuantian Sect’s formation was destroyed?
“I don’t believe it. The humans are too lucky.”
Boom!
The formation continued to shake under the bombardment.
“Let’s work together and keep attacking. I want to see how long this formation can last.”
Boom!
On this day, the explosions in the sky above the Xuantian Sect did not stop.
In the sect, w.a.n.g Qian’an restricted the disciples from heading out.
The Elders stared at the attack above the formation with a strange expression.
“Our sect’s formation has been strengthened!”
“It was probably the work of the Ancestor.”
“The Flood Dragon Clan’s attack is like scratching an itch. If they used more strength, the formation might have been broken.”
“The Flood Dragon Clan is bold. They rushed inland to destroy our Xuantian Sect. Aren’t they afraid that the Roc Clan will treat them like worms and eat them?”
…
In the Xuantian Sect, the Elders stared at the ripples on the formation.
As time pa.s.sed, the Elders felt relieved.
“A few days have pa.s.sed. If they could break the formation, it would have broken long ago. It’s useless to waste time.”
“Even if they were trying to show off to the other Demon Clans, it will be enough after a few days. I am going back to cultivate as I am about to break through,” an Elder at the peak of the True Realm said.
Bai Zhijing had acquired the experience of breaking through to the Semi-G.o.d Realm, but she hadn’t had the chance to read it yet.
Nothing was more important than breaking through to the Semi-G.o.d Realm.
As long as one reached the Semi-G.o.d Realm, he or she could roam freely in the vast world.
The attacks of the Flood Dragons continued.
The Xuantian Sect didn’t take the attacks of the Flood Dragons seriously at all.
Days pa.s.sed.
Several Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors of the Flood Dragons had used up all their attacks.
Six of them wanted to break the formation with their bodies.
A few days later, all six of them were wounded.
“No, we have to think of something!”
Staring at the extremely stable Xuantian Sect formation, the Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors’ faces turned black.
They had been attacking for so many days, but they could not even break the formation.
How could they survive in this world?
The Black Flood Dragon said, “After attacking for so many days, we have consumed a lot of vital essence.”
“Why do I feel that the prenatal qi around the Xuantian Sect is getting weaker?”
“Not only you, I feel the same.”
“This formation absorbs the surrounding prenatal qi to maintain its stability. Under our continuous attacks, the formation has consumed a lot of prenatal qi. Besides, we have also depleted a lot,” the Golden Flood Dragon said.
The Semi-G.o.d Realm Demon Clan absorbed prenatal qi like a whale.
They gathered more than a dozen Semi-G.o.d Realm Flood Dragons.
Even if they did not attack the Xuantian Sect, the prenatal qi they needed to absorb every day could collapse the Xuantian Sect.
Not to mention that there was a formation.
These days, in order to recover the prenatal qi they had consumed, they had taken almost all the prenatal qi around them.
“This…”
“If we continue attacking, our prenatal qi will be completely depleted. There’s no place to replenish it.”
The other Flood Dragons sensed carefully and discovered that the Xuantian Sect’s formation was indeed constantly absorbing prenatal qi.
“What do we do now?”
Suddenly, the Flood Dragons were in a dilemma.
“Sigh, retreat. Our Flood Dragon Clan’s reputation has gone down the drain.”
“Even if we don’t retreat, we can’t break the formation.”
To them, as long as they could break the formation, everything would be easy.
There were only one or two Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors in Xuantian Sect.
With so many warriors in the late stage of the Semi-G.o.d Realm, even if they were no match for them, they could hold them back for a while. Then, the other Semi-G.o.d Realm warriors would leave after destroying the Xuantian Sect.
From then on, they hid in the deep sea.
Inside the Xuantian Sect.
Li Mu came out of the Forbidden Grounds with a bronze gate in his hand.
This was the foundation of the formation in the Forbidden Grounds.
After studying it for many days, he finally knew the function of this foundation.
He placed the foundation next to the foundation of the Xuantian Sect’s Sect-protecting Formation and integrated it into the formation.
The moment the foundation was integrated into the formation, the Xuantian Sect’s prenatal qi surged into the formation like wind.
The prenatal qi in the air outside was sucked dry.
“Now, the formation is much more stable than before. Haha, let’s see how these Flood Dragons will try to get in.”
After repairing the formation, Li Mu went back to the Forbidden Grounds.
The Flood Dragons had sent out five warriors of the advanced stage of the Semi-G.o.d Realm, including one at the ninth level of the Semi-G.o.d Realm.
The formation was magnificient.
Fortunately, when he was free to study the formation, he had strengthened the Sect-protecting Formation.
Otherwise, the first wave of attacks from the Flood Dragons would have broken the formation.
These days, while the Flood Dragons were attacking, Li Mu had not forgotten to strengthen the formation.
He used all the knowledge he had learned over the years.
He even brought out the foundation of the Forbidden Grounds.
With the addition of a new foundation, the formation drained all the prenatal qi around the Xuantian Sect.
The Flood Dragon Clan, who had used up all their vital essence, their expression turned even darker.
“No, we have to find a place to recover our vital essences. Otherwise, we could forget about breaking the formation. If that Ancestor of the Xuantian Sect comes out, we will be finished.”
As soon as the Golden Flood Dragon finished speaking, a sword light rose up from the sky.
Whoos.h.!.+
The sword light descended from the nine heavens and slashed toward the Flood Dragons.
What they feared came true.
“Retreat!” the Flood Dragon cried out.
“The sword light is too fast. We’ve used up too much of our vital essence…”
Ding!
The sword light covered one of the Flood Dragons.
