The war banner was only three-some feet tall. The banner itself was made of some unknown material, and several ancient words had been written on it in a bold and flourishing style.
Wang Chong did not recognize these ancient words, but from their shape, he could understand their meaning.
'Origin Immortal War Banner'!
As he gazed at this banner made of unknown material, a thought flitted through Wang Chong's mind.
The Formation Elder had once said that all large, powerful formations had a special object serving as their formation core, just like the Nine Dragon Blood War Banner. The core of the Origin Immortal Formation was clearly this war banner.
If I pull out this banner, I should be able to break the formation, Wang Chong remarked to himself.
After consuming so much energy, he had finally reached this place.
Boom!
At this moment, a massive boom resounded.
The ground began to shake as a dreadful energy exploded out from beneath the altar.
This energy poured into the banner, causing it to swiftly transform. The red crystal pole soared to a height of twenty feet and the thickness of the rim of a bowl. Even the triangular yellow banner swelled to several dozen times its original size.
Bang!
Immense energy began to pour off the Origin Immortal War Banner, shooting into the sky as a pillar of light.
A moment later, Wang Chong could sense this frightening energy splitting off into thousands of different streams that flowed to the outer parts of the formation.
Rumble!
As this energy erupted, everyone else in the formation once more heard that familiar rumble, and the power of the formation strengthened once more.
”It's over! We're doomed this time! The formation has gotten even stronger! It's impossible for us to survive!”
In a certain part of the formation, an unaffiliated martial artist got down on his knees and looked in despair in the direction of the rumbling and buzzing.
”Am I really going to die here? I don't want to! Someone, come and save me! I don't want to die!”
Elsewhere, a martial artist covered in wounds got down on his knees.
”It's gotten stronger! We're all going to die this time!”
Thump! Thump! Thump! More and more people dropped to their knees with despair in their eyes.
After this long battle, they had consumed vast amounts of Stellar Energy and used up all their medicines. The constantly increasing power of the formation was something they were no longer capable of standing up to.
”Ancestor! Those bugs are coming again!” a hoarse and fearful voice called out.
In the third layer of the formation, wounded experts of the Five Ancestor Alliance fearfully stared at the golden beetles flying toward them.
In front of them, Black Yin Ancestor Luo Qiyin seemed to have seen nothing at all. His robes flapped around him as he solemnly stared at the center of the formation.
Although these Golden Armor Stellar-Piercing Beetles were formidable, for the Black Yin Ancestor, the true danger was at the core of the formation.
It's too powerful! This sort of formation can't be destroyed by anyone! I was thinking too simply! the Black Yin Ancestor berated himself.
Even a titan of the evil path like him had consumed a significant amount of energy in traveling from the outer ring of the formation to this place. The constant attacks of the formation gates had made the Black Yin Ancestor feel for the first time like it was impossible to win.
If the outer ring of the formation was this powerful, the Black Yin Ancestor found it difficult to imagine how dreadful the core was.
Song Yuanyi, breaking the formation… were you not able to do it either?
As the Black Yin Ancestor turned his head in another direction, countless thoughts ran through his mind.
……
At the very same moment, elsewhere, Song Yuanyi was also looking silently at the core.
”Alliance Lord, our brothers have suffered many injuries. We can no longer keep advancing!” a Righteous Alliance expert behind Song Yuanyi sorrowfully said.
Song Yuanyi had led his group into the second layer of the formation. Only a little more was needed until they reached the core, but his group was on its last legs.
The various formation attacks were constantly getting stronger, and even though Song Yuanyi was leading them, they had reached their limit. Even if they could hold on until they reached the core, they would probably be wiped out to the last man.
Song Yuanyi said nothing, only stared inscrutably into the depths of the formation.
Chirping could be heard around them as the golden beetles danced in the air, some of them even gnawing away at Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Stellar Energy. But these frightening beetles that seemed to counter martial artists gnawed through Song Yuanyi's Stellar Energy very slowly. It was as if they weren't eating the Stellar Energy they so enjoyed, but a piece of stone or metal.
This was the first time these golden beetles had met such a tough opponent. This feat alone was enough to make countless martial artists of the world sigh in praise.
