Chapter 318: Breaking Past the Formation (1/2)

”We're doing all we can, shut it already!”

The other masters yelled back as they walked further into the hallway, deciphering this monstrous formation. The four beasts fluttered throughout the formation, unobstructed by its power. With each step, they marked different points for the formation masters. As helpful as it was, there were over a thousand points to break before dispeling the Immortal Severing Formation.

For an ordinary formation master, it could take decades to achieve this and that was with the help of a unique treasure like the Heavenly Beast's Mirror. But these several figures were masters in this field, their knowledge was unparalleled.

For them to work together, breaking this formation wouldn't take very long. But could they break it in time?

Master Qi's aged face wrinkled up as he yelled out once more.

”Then do more! I don't have many years left in this body of mine! If I die, I'm going to haunt all of you until you join me in the afterlife!”

Indeed, he could feel his life force flow from his body and into the golden mirror. His cranky voice could be heard by everyone, revealing the dire situation.

The Grand Elder's team looked at each other, half wanting to jump in and help and the other half knowing that entering could mean death.

”If we enter, we may not come out.”

”If we don't go, they could very well perish.”

”Think about the formations. Should we break one, the others could grow stronger. It could even affect the one they are working on. What if it resets? Then all of their work is in vain.”

”Standing here and waiting will do us no good.”

”Whatever they've found must be of high importance if this monstrosity of a trap is protecting it.”

As they discussed among each other, someone stepped forward.

”I should enter...”

Hua Xiong stepped forward and made her way towards the formations before being stopped by Ming Yue.

”Are you sure? This is very risky to do. You might die before finding your sect.”

She was surprised, not expecting Hua Xiong to volunteer to step into the formations.

”I can see his life force already and it is starting to wane. He could very well die in the next few minutes. While I cannot replenish his life force, I could prolong it.”

Hua Xiong explained and then prepared to join Elder Kan's group. Her words entered everyone's ears, placing both shock and more pressure on them.

”Grr, I'll join you as well! There is no point in waiting around and watching.”

Tuan joined the young cultivator, gripping his staff in preparation for battle.

”There is no better option.”

”I suppose so.”

”I can't just let them die.”

One by one, those from the other two groups walked forward. Then the Grand Elder moved and directly entered the three formations, his aura expanded as he exerted more power and suppressed the formations themselves.

The pressure that Elder Kan's group felt had been cut down by a third. The chains seemed to loosen, the weight on their bodies lightened, and the shadowy warriors weakened.

”Whatever the Tao Feng's Sect Leader is protecting must be of great importance to his plan. It could very well explain what he has been killing cultivators for”, said the Grand Elder, ”Not to mention, I'd rather not lose anyone from Heaven's Gate.”
