Chapter 765: Chapter 424 Inside and Outside the Cave Heaven

Xunmu Cave Heaven Central.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The chaotic Power of Heaven and Earth surged everywhere, and all sorts of techniques flew about haphazardly.

But the sight of the huge Formation Light Screen, enveloping the entire Central Settlement, constantly rippling like water waves, inside were nearly a thousand elites from the Spirit People Race, struggling to jointly resist the foreign enemies. On the outside, were Yan Hong, Jiang Han, and nearly a hundred other Grandmasters gathered. They were incessantly deploying various methods, bombarding the Formation Light Screen.

The most eye-catching on the battlefield was still Chen Mu; although merely by himself and not joining forces with anyone, his every move was unadorned, without too much grandiose momentum. However, each strike that fell was heavy as if a falling star, shaking the Formation Light Screen violently.

As they watched the formation tremble and nearly collapse under the relentless assault of Chen Mu and the many Grandmasters, appearing to show signs of shattering, suddenly a layer of spiritual light arose from the trunk of the towering Xunmu Tree at the center of the distant settlement. It transformed into mysterious divine patterns that converged and infused into the surface of the formation, merging with the Light Screen.

These patterns interwoven upon the Light Screen immediately stabilized the trembling Formation Light Screen once again.

“You can’t hold up?”

Chen Mu watched this scene, but his expression barely changed. He cast his gaze toward the trunk of the great tree at the center of the settlement, as if seeing through the Forbidden Land of the Spirit People Race and glimpsing Ling Ji, the new generation Spirit Ancestor, who was controlling the Xunmu Grand Formation.

To stabilize the teetering Formation Light Screen so suddenly was naturally Ling Ji finally taking action, using the methods of the Blood Exchange Realm to link her own life force and Inner Breath with the formation, mediating from within to control the entire situation.

But in other words,

It also meant that the Xunmu Formation was nearing its limit!

Their side’s offensive had forced Ling Ji to act, otherwise, breaking the formation would only take the blink of an eye!

Chen Mu knew very well the extent of Ling Ji’s injuries. Although she had reached the Blood Exchange Realm with exceptionally robust vitality, his attack, even if it hadn’t killed her on the spot, must have severely damaged her Five Viscera and Six Viscera.

Surface wounds are easy to heal, even bone and muscle injuries for someone at Ling Ji’s level, recovery in a short time is not difficult. But visceral injuries are different, not something that can be recovered from quickly, and it was clear that Ling Ji was struggling to hold on despite her wounds.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited until the formation was almost unable to hold before finally stepping in to sustain it.

Ling Ji’s intervention had indeed made the formation much more stable, but neither Chen Mu nor Yan Hong, Jiang Han, nor the many other Grandmasters showed any sign of halting their assault. Instead, they fought even more fiercely, launching continuous ferocious attacks.

What Chen Mu could think of, most of them could too. Everyone was aware that Ling Ji’s injuries could not possibly heal in a short time. The formation at the central settlement of the Spirit People Race was indeed powerful, but with just an injured Blood Exchange Realm figure managing to control it, the formation was far less formidable. It wasn’t even as threatening as the larger settlement formation controlled by Ling Huan in the past!

“This formation…”

Chen Mu continued to strike while also observing the Xunmu Grand Formation at the center of the Spirit People Race.

With his extraordinary vision now, he had meticulously studied formations like the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation of the Seven Profound Sect. The sophistication of this Xunmu Grand Formation before him didn’t fall short in comparison to the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation.

Moreover, it drew not on the Power of Earth’s Veins but on the power of the Xunmu Wood Spirit, manifesting a might that surpassed the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation by a degree, and was certainly extraordinary.

But this also brought a problem; more condensed and powerful Xunmu Spiritual Power was more difficult to maneuver flexibly. It was mostly capable of maintaining this turtle-shell like defense.

To mobilize its power, shifting from defense to offense, is not something that could be accomplished by ordinary control. Even typical Blood Exchange Realm figures would likely find it impossible. It required a Celestial Human Level expert like Ling Huan to manage it somewhat.

Of course,

A mere turtle shell was actually quite sturdy.

Chen Mu, now nearing the skill level of a Celestial Human, could indeed break through the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation of the Seven Profound Sect if there were no Blood Exchange Realm figure mediating from within, given enough time.

But if Yin Heng were in the Forbidden Land controlling the Formation Core, opposing him with the Formation’s power, it would be who knows how many times harder to break through. Not to mention whether it could be breached at all, even if it truly could, it wouldn’t be something achievable in a short time. It might even lead to a standoff lasting for years, gradually weakening the Power of Earth’s Veins before finally dissolving it.

Ling Ji’s strength was far inferior to Yin Heng’s.

Even compared to the newly advanced Blood Exchange Realm Qin Mengjun, she was a bit lacking.

Yet, the core formation of Xunmu Cave Heaven was strong enough that, coupled with compensation, if Ling Ji were in her prime, the difficulty of breaching this formation wouldn’t be less than the Qiankun Lock Dragon Formation with Yin Heng in control.

But Ling Ji had been severely injured by him before, her viscera damaged.

That was the flaw!

A fatal flaw!

It seemed as though Ling Ji, controlling the formation, made the Formation Light Screen much more stable, resisting numerous offenses without much turmoil, but in reality, every wave of attacks becoming impacts were transferred to Ling Ji’s side.

“Let’s see how long you can withstand.”

Chen Mu’s gaze was indifferent; his figure floated in the sky, continually pointing at the Formation Light Screen. Each finger Print contained Qiankun Power that was refined to the utmost, colliding with the formation endlessly.
