339 Ruins (1/2)

In front of everyone, were some old ruins that had already been invaded by the vegetation. Once the line group saw it, they immediately retracted that Formation and gathered together once more.

”We don't have time to explore it slowly, so keep your Divine Senses spread and let's search this place.”

Suddenly, a cultivator shouted.

”Hey, I can fly higher in this place.”

Everyone looked at him, surprised. Sure enough, a few others tried, and they, too, were able to surpass the previous limit. Still, there was a limit. They couldn't fly more than 50 meters in the air.

”Alright, let's take flight and keep looking.”

Of course, the enemy's attacks didn't stop. By now, the groups attacking them already had at least one Soul Forging Realm Demon Beast or Cultivator.

The ruin's size was quite big, so even after searching for 30 minutes, they still haven't found anything out of the ordinary. But one thing was sure, the core of the Formation was definitely in this place. Suddenly, Krune and the others heard a Divine Sense message from someone else.

”Hey, look! Over there!”

Everyone looked at the direction that the guy was pointing at, and they could see some kind of underground entrance with a seal in front of it. They didn't waste time and moved close to check.

Near the entrance, Krune and the others could few a big flow of Spiritual Energy.

”The core of the formation is probably down there.”

They touched the Seal blocking the entrance, and a stream of information flowed inside their minds.

”Resist time: 7:46 minutes.

Requirement: 12:00 hours.”

One didn't need to be a genius to understand what those numbers meant.

”Well, at least we know that the formation spawning those enemies will probably stop working when 12 hours is up. Still, it's gonna be quite complicated to hold all the way to the end.”

That's true, with just a little less than 8 hours, they were already being attacked by groups with Soul Forging Realm in the middle. Their number will definitely increase as time passes. The question is if they can hold until the time is over.

Some of the cultivators and demon beast tried to use earth movement techniques to bypass the Seal. Of course, even they didn't think that it would work.

Sure enough, the entire underground place was sealed just like that mountain in the previous Bubble Realm.

But then, Krune had an idea and used a Divine Sense message to ask.

”Feifei, does the formation use something like Divine Sense to feel the others' presence?”

Feifei then answered.

Krune then asked.

”What if I cover everyone with my Tribulation Layer? Would it work the same way against Formations?”

Feifei pondered a bit and then nodded.

”It should work if the Formation is using an artificial Divine Sense. But I can't tell if it is the case since the level of this Formation it too high. Our cultivations are too low to feel that level of Divine Sense, even if it isn't a real one.”

Krune nodded and then explained.

”Alright, I first want to test one thing. I believe that the number of Demon Beasts and Cultivators attacking us is based on the number of participants we have on our side. Think like this: If there was only a single Cultivator or Demon Beast in this Realm, the number of enemies that are attacking us at the moment would definitely have finished him or her already.”

”In that case, it would make no sense to have a test like this. So what if a few of us disappear? Would the number of attacking enemies decrease? Would the Formation think that we died and, thus, reduce the attack level?”

Feifei had to admit that it made sense. This place was not build to kill them but to test instead. If that is really the case, there is a chance that the income number of enemies will decrease once a few fo the participants disappear.'

”At the very least, it might slow down the increase in numbers of fake Cultivators and Demon Beasts.”
