Chapter 718: Chapter 359 The Bloody Scent of the Flying Spirit Hall
With the help of the Eye of Emptiness, Lin Yi walked through this seemingly dangerous Formation as if he were on a casual outing, stepping leisurely. With each step, he landed in the correct position.
Within the Formation, he saw traces of other Cultivators who had been there. It seemed that quite a few Cultivators had accidentally entered this Formation. However, oddly enough, he found no skeletons.
After a while, he stepped into the Formation where Xu Yu Rou was trapped. This was a Five Elements Formation, which would display five different environments, including corresponding attack methods.
Although the scenes that appeared were of Illusion Land, the attacks were real.
Unless one found the correct Array Core, or was powerful enough to directly cause the Formation to collapse, it would be impossible to exit the Formation, even if one survived the attacks from these five illusory environments.
What appeared to be the scenes of Illusion Land, felt like real Five Elements environments to the Cultivators.
This kind of Five Elements Formation wasn’t difficult to deploy, and even someone at the Nascent Soul Realm could set it up. However, the strength of the Formation was based on the higher the Realm and the deeper the understanding of the one who deployed it, the greater the power that could be unleashed.
Lin Yi could determine that this was a Formation set up by someone in the Body Fusion Realm and had incorporated their own understanding. Moreover, it wasn’t confined to just the Five Elements; some Derived Elements had also been integrated.
For instance, Ice from the Water Element, Poison from the Wood Element, but curiously, no Wind-Thunder Element.
If he were to set up a Formation with his mastery over the Five Elements, it would undoubtedly be more powerful. Against the interaction of the ordinary and inverse Five Elements, the abilities of any Cultivator would be countered.
The purpose of this Formation was to block Human Cultivators and was not the type of deadly trap without a shred of life. Hence, for Human Cultivators, it meant certain capture without death.
As he stepped into the Formation where Xu Yu Rou was, he also entered into the effects manifested by the Formation. At that moment, he faced the Fire Attribute Element. Huge fireballs fell from the sky, swiftly smashing towards Xu Yu Rou.
Xu Yu Rou, skilled in avoidance, dodged the fireballs. Although injured, she was agile enough to evade them with the Wind-Thunder Wings he had crafted for her in the Lower Realm.
However, as he entered, the Formation’s power suddenly intensified. The fireballs became fiercer and more numerous.
Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled. Under normal circumstances, even if two people entered the Formation at the same time, they would be transported to different places; it was impossible for two to be in the same Illusory Land at once.
With the help of the Eye of Emptiness, he had entered this location, which in turn, triggered the Formation’s protection mechanism that adjusted the intensity of the Formation’s attacks based on his Cultivation levels.
Due to his Path of Survivor title and the effects of the Concealing Breath Technique, Xu Yu Rou, a Cultivator in the Deification Realm, naturally could not sense his arrival.
When the strength of the Formation’s attacks suddenly increased, Xu Yu Rou’s face showed surprise, “The attacks of this Formation have been stable for a hundred years. Why have they suddenly become so powerful today?”
She desperately dodged, but the Formation was specifically targeting Lin Yi, a Cultivator in the Refining Void Realm. She, a Cultivator of Divinity Transformation, could not possibly dodge all the attacks even with the aid of the Wind-Thunder Wings.
After evading a wave of attacks, several large fireballs rushed towards her at high speed. Unable to dodge in time, her face showed bitterness, “Master, your disciple has not made it to the end…”
However, just then, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her, effortlessly blocking all the fireballs. His seemingly frail body gave her an immense sense of safety.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Master…” she blurted out unintentionally.
A tremor passed through Lin Yi’s heart, yet he remained calm on the surface. A Spiritual Power Shield rose from his body, enveloping Xu Yu Rou within it, and then he slowly turned around and asked in a steady voice, “You are Xu Yu Rou?”
Seeing his utterly ordinary face, Xu Yu Rou felt disappointed and quickly bowed with a fist in her palm, “Greetings to the elder. Thank you for saving my life. I am Xu Yu Rou. I mistook you for someone else and called out to you as my Master by mistake. I hope you will forgive me.”
Her mind speculated whether this elder knew she was Xu Yu Rou and had come specifically to rescue her. Could it be that Master Golden Sword had arranged this?
“I am here at the behest of Dongfang Bubai to rescue you. Let’s leave together,” Lin Yi said with a faint smile on his face.
Without realizing it, this girl, who was once afraid to trouble others, had also become a Cultivator of the Huashen Realm, embodying the stature of a faction leader.
How the world has changed. It had been over six hundred years since his own ascension. These past few hundred years must have been the period when Xu Yu Rou grew the most rapidly.
Hearing Lin Yi’s words, Xu Yu Rou’s expression showed shock. She hadn’t expected it to be someone sent by the Eastern Sect Master. It made sense when she thought about it, as Master Golden Sword had only ascended two to three hundred years ago and couldn’t have invited such a powerhouse.
She bowed again, “Many thanks to Elder Dong Fang for lending your aid, and thank you again for braving the danger to rescue me from the Demon race.”
“There’s no need for courtesy. Place your hand on me, and let’s leave together,” Lin Yi instructed with a wave of his hand.
“Elder, I have a friend who has also fallen into this Formation. I hope the elder can extend a helping hand,” Xu Yu Rou hesitated before finally speaking earnestly with a deep bow.
