Chapter 1144 - Taoist Formation second version
Chapter 1144: Taoist Formation second version
“Zong Shou’s Unlimited Beginning and End Body can at most last for half a day. What I want to know is how many more of those flying knives he can use. Neglecting Realm, that isn’t something that we can joke about…”
The so-called neglecting Realm meant that one could kill people with a stronger cultivation realm! Even a newborn child could harm an End Realm Saint Venerable. They could even directly kill a Celestial Realm expert!
Although Zong Shou’s flying knife wasn’t a true Supreme technique, it could barely neglect Realm!
Even if he was only Late Celestial Realm, he was able to kill Chi Hongyi.
Hanqing’s expression sunk. Although he hated Zong Shou to the bone, he knew his own strength.
If he was arrogant and clashed with Zong Shou now, he would only die.
This time, Hongyi wouldn’t go all out to save him and Wushang Yuan Demon wouldn’t care if he lived or died.
“Whether or not he could still use that Sux God Celestial Slaying Flying Knife, I do not know.”
Demon Lotus said calmly, “An outstanding tree will be crushed by the wind! After this battle, more people will be worried about this kid. His enemies are everywhere and they are not just Night Demon and Shadow Demon Race. We might be able to find some helpers.”
“You mean we should form an alliance?”
Chi Hongyi’s expression relaxed. He was in deep thought before he laughed coldly.
“I heard that Demon Lotus loves to talk to others. Then, I will wait and see how you do so. Don’t disappoint me.”
Actually, that plan made sense, otherwise, he would just reject it. Whether or not the three of them could find allies in the tomb was still uncertain.
If they had no chance of winning, then even if he had to offend Wushang Yuan Demon he would retreat from the tomb.
※※※※
Zong Shou and the others were also in discussion. They were also talking about that Celestial Slaying Flying Knife.
“How is it possible I have more? At least in a few years, no more of these can come out. How can such an overpowered item be unrestricted?”
The moment Zong Shou said this, the expressions of the people on the altar turned into slight disappointment.
Lin Xuanxuan understood and nodded her head. She had guessed it and only asked as she had a bit of hope.
If Zong Shou was able to use it two or three more times, it would be enough to threaten all the Saint Realm Venerables here.
They wouldn’t have to worry about Xufu either.
The knife couldn’t be dodged even she wasn’t willing to take it head-on.
Yuan Wushang also felt disappointed, “What a waste! This ability is the closest to Grade Thirteen that I have seen. It neglects realm under that of End Realm, tsk tsk…”
Thinking to himself that if he could use it a few more times, no one would dare to offend him.
Zong Shou burst out laughing. The Celestial Slaying Flying Knife used up six types of Earth Grade Xiantian Geng Metal Energy. Where was he going to find more?
Without any large scale battle, the Imperial Celestial Slaying Records would also be unable to absorb so much killing energy.
The vengeful corpse army suffered heavy losses due to Daoxuan. To gather up another million to charge would be really tough and pretty much impossible.
Qin Emperor hadn’t revived yet and those corpse generals weren’t commanded together. Although they coordinated with one another, most of the time, they fought for themselves.
This was why although there were 20 million troops, they were unable to form a combined force.
A large scale battle was impossible. Even if he had enough mental energy it would take several years to complete the exchange of energy!
Anyway, he wouldn’t be able to use the Six God Celestial Slaying Knife in the Qin Tomb.
It was the same case with the Styx River Death Sword. He had one more Life and Death Cereus which was at 60%. Who knew how much strength he could use?
As for the Unlimited Beginning and End Body, it could only last for a few more hours.
The few abilities that could be used had all been used up.
The battle with Daoxuan really used up too much. Luckily, he was able to get a Saint Realm Demon Path Golden Pellet and a portion of his soul.
He just needed to spend some type studying it and it would help his foundations.
He shook his head and his eyes landed back onto the wing-shaped metal.
It was only two hours to the completion of the second core. During this period of time, he wanted to understand the mysteries of the black metal.
Be it whether he used blades to hack or burned or froze it. No matter what he did, he was unable to cause any reaction to the wing-shaped, black metal.
“I heard that for some God Artifacts to recognize their master, they require their master’s blood. Who knew if this was the case or not…”
Zong Shou felt that it was okay to try it. He summoned a ball of blood from the body at the center of the altar and watered it over the metal.
Unsurprisingly, it didn’t cause any changes.
He sighed. He had now totally given up and kept the metal once more.
He didn’t place it back into his space. He used the 1,000-year spider thread to wrap around it and hung it on his neck. He hung it near his heart and carried it along with him.
It was said that some artifacts needed to be nourished for a long time before one could grasp it.
Carrying it could allow the metal to familiarise itself with his aura and should have been a little useful.
To unveil the mysteries of this item, he had to search for Xiuguan.
He stopped worrying about the black metal and spent the time studying the silver ant cultivation method as well as its formation.
After the battle with Daoxuan, he had some inspiration. He greatly modified the few outlines he felt could work and used the Imperial Demon Slaying Records to try it out.
As expected, the few completed cultivation methods and spiritual formations were much stronger than the initial version.
After a practical battle, Zong Shou greatly removed many unpractical areas and useless details to make it more suitable for the specialties of the Saint Fire Silver Ants.
There was actually one that didn’t collapse from start to finish, completing the entire process. It could be used without any weaknesses.
However, its value wasn’t high and it could only buff him to two times. It was far weaker than what he had expected.
There were also some really strong ones. Two of them were able to buff to 12 times his strength.
Without an exception, they were only able to complete a third of the process without collapsing.
If his Saint Fire Silver Ants cultivated it, in just a few years they would die from their bodies exploding.
The World was like that. It was tough for things to be perfect. If one wanted speed, one had to sacrifice power. If one wanted power, then one would have limited mobility.
If one wanted strength, then it wouldn’t be safe; if one wanted safety, then the strength of the cultivation method would be sacrificed.
However, as they say, failure is the mother of success. Although Zong Shou’s attempts ended in failure, they gave him a lot of teachings and inspiration. He also paid attention to areas where he might fail. The next time he wouldn’t repeat the same mistakes.
There were some gains during those few attempts.
Zong Shou selected one of the most balanced ones to let Shen Yuexuan craft another set of spiritual artifacts for those ants to wear.
When the silver ant formed up, it was much better than the first version.
After the formation buffed him, his strength was increased by at least 70%!
Half a set of Juntian Heaven Flaming Armor could increase his strength by three times. The God Refined Sword was half a step God Weapon and could increase his spells and sword energy by four times!
It looked incomparable but the buff from the ants was an overall buff.
It included body, True Qi, soul, and also his foundations…
Zong Shou wasn’t the only one who benefitted. The ants also became 70% stronger.
As long as the formation didn’t scatter, they would be faster and stronger, and have much sharper blades.
The benefits were endless and this was just the uncompleted version…
“It seems like Shen Yuexuan is not only good at crafting, but he is also an artist. The ants wearing the armor pretty much look like angels…”
Looking at the glowing beings, Zong Shou was speechless. The looks alone were adorable and made one love them.
However, what was the use of cultivators looking good?
“Although I personally created the formation, the Imperial Demon Slaying Formation completed it. It can be called the Saint Silver Demon Slaying Formation, the second version…”
The Heaven Grade Dao Soldiers of the various sects were created after billions of years. He had just started out, and in the future, there would be an eighth and ninth version. There might even be 100 versions.
In the future, there might be more than 72 Saint Fire Silver Ants.
At this moment, Hanxi and Little Gold both stood beside him.
Hanxi had a complicated expression and who knew what it was thinking about? Killing intent rose up within.
It seemed like it wanted to smash all the silver armor and kill all the ant descendants.
Little Gold changed into his shape, his face filled with disdain.
Zong Shou found it weird at first and then he understood. The two fellows were jealous?
He blinked and then laughed out loud, patting Hanxi’s head.
It wanted a spiritual artifact armor? Then, he would make Shen Yuexuan craft two more even more beautiful ones.
Little Gold was still filled with disdain and several threads spread out behind his back in all directions.
Zong Shou didn’t understand at first but when the golden net formed into scale, Zong Shou noticed that the fellow was actually copying a full formation.
