Chapter 1002: Chapter 500 Formation Might! The One Behind the Scenes
 

“What happened?”

“Those four, they were clearly at the Initial Rank and Middle Rank of Pseudo-God. How did they suddenly rush out of the temple?” Each of the twelve floating temples had a Pseudo-God, all of whom were shocked at this moment.

Based on their past experiences, in most cases, once the ambush started,

they would essentially be trapped by the temple and then handled at their leisure.

They activated the formation, not only as a precaution but also to cover the battle traces and avoid detection… After all, there weren’t just these stationed troops on Wanlong Star; there were also some local experts.

But they didn’t expect it either.

This operation turned out to be such a failure; not even one out of the four Pseudo-Gods got trapped.

“Star Master, this is trouble; those four must have been hiding their strength,” the black-armored youth quickly transmitted, “They are likely at the Peak of Pseudo-God or even at the Limit.”

“Why not find a reason to let them go, just say it was a misunderstanding earlier,” the black-armored youth quickly transmitted, “Maybe we can even…”

“Shut up, Pinhuo!”

The man in the golden robe snapped coldly, “Are you stupid, or are they stupid? We’ve already made our move, do you think they will believe it was unintentional?”

“Everyone listen, if we let them go and the news gets out, we’re all dead.”

“Go all out! Only by killing them can we find a way to survive,” the voice of the golden-robed man sounded in the minds of his companions.

“Kill!”

“We’ve attacked so many times; it’s not like people haven’t escaped from the temple before, and in the end, didn’t we still kill them?”

“Even if there are experts at the peak of Pseudo-God, they must die.”

“The stronger they are, the more precious the treasures they carry.” These Pseudo-Gods’ fierce side was also triggered. Since they chose to be the ‘Black Garrison,’ they naturally made preparations for slaughter.

“Activate the formation and kill him,” the golden-robed man ordered.

As a second-class planet, Wanlong Star was equipped with many powerful formations, but these formations were managed separately.

One part was governed by the local experts of Wanlong Star.

The other part was under the control of these stationed troops, which is why they took action tens of thousands of miles into the starry sky.

Among these twelve stationed Pseudo-Gods, only three were at the peak of Pseudo-God, the rest were all at the Middle Rank of Pseudo-God… But with the might of the formations they controlled, they were filled with confidence.

For instance, the overwhelming black fog was just one layer of the Bewildering Formation.

“Boom, boom, boom!” At this moment, the might of the numerous formations within a radius of nearly 10,000 kilometers was finally fully activated.

Boom! Boom!

Out of them, six temples instantly erupted in a sea of fire, quickly stirring up the might of the formation, forming six terrifying fire dragons above the temples.

Meanwhile, the other divine courts surged with an overwhelming amount of lightning, like a thunder sea spanning thousands of kilometers.

The thunder sea surged majestically, covering the entire void at an incredibly astonishing speed.

Under the operation of the formation, the speed of the lightning was incredibly fast.

Boom, boom, boom~

The six fire dragons coiled and combined with the pervasive lightning, rapidly forming a more terrifying ‘Thunder Fire Divine Dragon,’ with not only greater might but also a frightening speed.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The overwhelming lightning gathered like a vast ocean, surging towards Li Yuan, Zhuang Long, and the others from all sides.

The six Thunder Fire Divine Dragons, mixed in the thunder sea, were even more immense, causing the entire area to change in hue.

“What?”

“So strong?” The faces of the two white-robed Pseudo-Gods turned pale; they were only at the Initial Rank of Pseudo-God, never having seen such a formation.

In their perception, if those six terrifying Thunder Fire Divine Dragons were to strike, they’d be killed in one hit.

The key issue was, with lightning coming from all directions, they had nowhere to escape.

“Rise!” With a thought, Li Yuan instantly transformed into a hundred-zhang tall body, directly exerting both the ‘All Things Divine Body’ and ‘Heaven and Earth River’ star techniques of the Nine Layers… The former greatly enhanced Origin Power might, while the latter was a domain star technique.

In an instant, wisps of earth-yellow airflow appeared between heaven and earth, like rivers, rushing and surging.

“Boom, boom, boom!” The Heaven and Earth River Domain surged and spread in all directions, clashing fiercely with the countless rays of thunder, causing tremors in heaven and earth with each impact.

In terms of Origin Power star techniques, Li Yuan was, after all, just a Demigod, even with Nine Star Pulse, unable to match up with the top Pseudo-Gods.

But his realm was extremely high, greatly compensating for the weakness in power.

For a time, though the Heaven and Earth River Domain was on the defensive, it managed to barely stand against the countless invading rays of thunder.

“Such a strong domain?”

“It actually held off the Heavenly Net Lightning Array?” Those twelve Pseudo-Gods were slightly shocked in their hearts.

They had been stationed here for many years and had never encountered a Pseudo-God with such a strong domain.

“Let’s see the Thunder Fire Divine Dragons do it.”

“With such a powerful domain, their ability for direct combat might be weaker. I don’t believe they can withstand six Thunder Fire Divine Dragons.” This was what all the Pseudo-Gods were thinking.

Their true killer move was still those six Thunder Fire Divine Dragons.

Boom, boom, boom~ The six Thunder Fire Divine Dragons charged violently, with the Heaven and Earth River Domain merely slightly suppressing them, unable to block them.

“Brother Xu Yuan, what a formidable domain,” Zhuang Long’s eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice, “I’ll handle the rest.”

“Alright.” Li Yuan was happy with this, not wanting to reveal too much strength.

Boom! A murderous Zhuang Long exploded into action.

His body flickered, surprisingly transforming into a towering thousand meters, like a mountain, with two massive red horns growing from his head, his aura exceedingly powerful.

At the same time, two more arms grew from his body, making it four arms in total, each wielding a huge curved blade.

“Kill!”

Zhuang Long roared angrily and stepped through the void.

The four arms swung fiercely, with the weapon light cutting across the sky for hundreds of kilometers, slashing towards the six rushing Thunder Fire Divine Dragons.

“To dare face it alone, he must be the strongest, but he’s just a Pseudo-God. How can he withstand the might of the formation?” The golden-robed man in the temple stared at the scene intently.

He hoped that by activating the formation, they could directly sweep away this group of Pseudo-Gods that appeared ‘unexpected,’ so that he could rest easy.

“Die!”

“They must be killed.” The other Pseudo-Gods thought the same, having no choice either.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Zhuang Long fought fiercely with the six Thunder Fire Divine Dragons, causing a significant upheaval of heaven and earth.

Each collision forced Zhuang Long back a few steps, but it also significantly reduced the aura of each Thunder Fire Divine Dragon.

The battle between the two sides was exceedingly fierce.

And Zhuang Long, facing six opponents, gradually gained the upper hand in this battle.

“Wow!”

Suddenly, three beams of weapon light sliced through, cutting through the void, directly tearing apart one of the Thunder Fire Divine Dragons’ bodies.

With one of the six Thunder Fire Divine Dragons gone, the threat drastically reduced.

This scene made the twelve Pseudo-Gods hiding in the temple and controlling the formation tremble inside.

“This, this…”

“So strong.”

“Where did such a powerful Pseudo-God come from?” These Black Garrison troops felt somewhat uneasy.

“That weapon light even shattered the formation?” The two white-robed Pseudo-Gods were completely dumbfounded, even a bit pleased, “Earlier, we thought Xu Yuan’s domain was exaggerated enough… But in comparison, Zhuang Long’s direct combat strength is terrifying; perhaps it’s near True God level.”

In their understanding, Pseudo-Gods shouldn’t be so strong.

“These six Thunder Fire Divine Dragons, each with a power surpassing level 57, and the combined might of the six is imaginable; their combat skills are weak, lacking any insights,” Li Yuan observed the battle with his Divine Sense.

“Still, it proves Zhuang Long’s formidable strength; he should have utilized multiple Nine Layer Star Techniques… Just in terms of direct material combat, I’m no match for him.” Li Yuan made a judgment.

In terms of realm, Li Yuan was far superior.

But in terms of raw power, the difference was too vast, as the opponent’s Origin Power star techniques completely exceeded Li Yuan’s.

Li Yuan could barely reach the limit of Pseudo-God level by relying on extremely high realm, Origin Divine Artifacts, and other means.

While Zhuang Long, his material attack belonged to a very powerful category even in the limit of Pseudo-God level.

“A bunch of scum.”

“Whatever you have, use it all early on.” Zhuang Long’s icy voice echoed through the heavens and earth, “Otherwise, as garrison troops, daring to commit looting will result in a death sentence for all of you.”

Boom! Boom!

Zhuang Long fiercely engaged with the five Thunder Fire Divine Dragons, his sword technique suddenly changing, becoming unpredictable and mysterious, transforming into four dazzling blood lights, once again smashing the head of a Thunder Fire Divine Dragon into fragments.

The shockwaves from the battle spread in all directions, vanquishing a significant portion of Li Yuan’s Heaven and Earth River Domain and the thunder sea.

“Not good?”

“Star Master, another Thunder Fire Divine Dragon has been vanquished, and forming another one will take some time.”

“With this slaughter continuing, the Thunder Fire Divine Dragons might be wiped out,” these Pseudo-Gods were panicking and getting anxious.

Forming the might of the formation took time, too.

“Don’t panic.”

“Focus all on controlling the formation, try to trap him! Hold him off! I have another way.” The golden-robed man quickly transmitted.

Whoosh!

Flipping his palm, a golden token appeared, which he crushed without hesitation, musing, “General, only you can save us now.”

…

In the starry sky far from Wanlong Star lay a massive and prosperous planet, home to countless cultivators, with hundreds of Pseudo-Gods alone, not counting the Demigods.

Blood Talisman City!

This was a highly renowned First Rank planet in the Kunli Star System, as it was the hometown of the Blood Talisman True God.

In a bustling city on the planet,

“Boom!” A figure in a blood robe soared into the sky, his face cold, “Wanlong Star encountered a problem?”

“To let them occasionally hunt weak Pseudo-Gods and gather some treasures, and they still messed up—a bunch of useless fools,” the Blood Talisman True God’s eyes were cold.

In the eyes of his hometown people, he was the ‘great ancestor’ of countless living beings, incredibly benevolent.

In the eyes of other planetary experts, he was merely a bit ruthless and overbearing in conduct.

But in reality, as one of the three Guardian Army Generals of the Great Stone Divine Country in the Kunli Star System, he wielded great power and had done many things behind the scenes that violated Divine Country laws.

“First, go have a look and see who it might be.”

“If necessary, I might have to abandon this unit.” Various thoughts flashed through the Blood Talisman True God’s mind.

Whiz!

He transformed into a streak of light, entering a nearby transmission array as the formation activated.

He had already transmitted towards Wanlong Star.
