Chapter 516 -304 Aftermath_2

While pondering, the three of them arrived at the core of the formation.

They were there to perform guarding duties and had been granted the authority to control the formation.

Since Li Yuanba was the strongest, He Wei and Liu Gang asked him to take the central position to oversee the formation, with each of them assisting.

Now was not the time for modesty, and Li Yuanba took his place at the heart of the formation without any hesitation.

Before He Wei and Liu Gang could intervene, his Divine Thought and hands moved simultaneously, activating the formation. The violent Spiritual Energy within Northern Island calmed, indicating that the formation had withstood external influences.

“Junior brother, have you also studied formations?” He Wei and Liu Gang exchanged glances, He Wei asking incredulously.

He Wei and Liu Gang were just about to act when they realized that after Li Yuanba activated the formation, they could no longer intervene.

Li Yuanba was extremely familiar with the formation; the two Golden Core cultivators couldn’t keep up with his speed in controlling the formation, and any hasty intervention might backfire.

This deeply impacted He Wei and Liu Gang; they were not as strong as Li Yuanba, partly because he was a Sword Cultivator, and not as equipped as Li Yuanba, because he had an excellent mentor, Elder Jian, the strongest Sword Cultivator among the Golden Core cultivators.

In the field of Corpse Refining, Li Yuanba possibly had an extraordinary talent.

But them being unable to comprehend that Li Yuanba also had an in-depth study of formation techniques left the two Golden Core cultivators baffled.

Having been Golden Core cultivators for decades, they too had the time to delve into various Cultivation Techniques.

Since achieving their Golden Cores, cultivators gain a relatively extended lifespan, allowing them the luxury of time to study Cultivation Techniques.

Knowledge of formations is one of the essential Cultivation Techniques that any Golden Core cultivator must study; despite its difficulty, they must grasp the basic concepts.

Yet, these two Golden Core cultivators couldn’t believe that their decades of study in formations were inferior to Li Yuanba, who had just achieved his Golden Core.

They couldn’t understand how Li Yuanba had used his time.

Li Yuanba had to cultivate his Sword Cultivation Technique, refine magical treasures, and create Corpse Refinements; each of these tasks demanded significant amounts of time, yet Li Yuanba still had the energy to study formations and master them to such an extent.

“I studied them in my spare time!” Li Yuanba replied while solemnly adjusting the formation.

Through the formation, his perception expanded countless times, allowing him to sense the situation outside Northern Island.

Due to the distance of the fight, he couldn’t see the course of the battle between the two Nascent Soul Realm beings, but the increasingly violent Spiritual Energy and a towering hundred-meter wave in the distance spoke volumes about the ferocity of the battle.

Especially that hundred-meter wave, carrying a momentum that was truly heart-stopping, was not just any ordinary wave but the aftermath of the battle involving two Nascent Soul beings.

He Wei and Liu Gang, situated at the core of the formation, were also aware of the distant developments and knew that danger was getting closer.

They dared not speak anymore to avoid disturbing Li Yuanba, the only thing they could do was continuously channel their Spiritual Energy into the core of the formation, hoping to enhance its power even slightly.

At that moment, Li Yuanba wasn’t alone in the fight; his original self, Li Shiming, had sensed the trouble here and had already sent his consciousness over to take over the operation of the formation.

In just three breaths’ time, being in the core of the formation and with sufficient authority, Li Shiming quickly became deeply familiar with the formation.

The effect of a formation controlled by a cultivator nearly at the rank of an Array Master was completely different from that of a few novices.

Under the sea, where the hundred-meter wave passed, low-level sea beasts and mortal fish alike were pulverized by the force.

The immense force contained within the hundred-meter wave alarmed Li Shiming, who was close to Li Yuanba’s body.

Had it not been for the presence of this formation, he would have feared he might have had to use “Step by Step Lotus” to escape thousands of miles away with the controlled avatar Li Yuanba.

Sea beasts with some intelligence dove deep to the sea floor to avoid the catastrophe above.

The merciless wave swept along its path, unlucky low-level Foundation Establishment cultivators caught outside met their demise as the wave crashed into them, turning them into a mist of blood and disappearing into thin air.

The cultivators on Northern Island were like those awaiting the apocalypse, staring intently at the sea outside the formation.

The aura of death enveloped the entire Northern Island, and their only hope was that the three Golden Core cultivators could protect the island’s great formation.

The cultivators did not flee because they had nowhere to flee to.

The speed of the massive waves was much faster than the flying speed of the cultivators, and not many cultivators were capable of achieving extreme flying speeds at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Rather than running away, it was better to stay within the formation.

The massive wave crashed against the formation, and the great formation of Northern Island emitted a brilliant glow, showing the cultivators the protective shield outside the island as it was struck by the massive waves.

The patterns on the formation shield flickered, and the whole formation shield constantly writhed, allowing the impact of the massive waves to be mitigated and redirected by this movement.

The massive wave that struck the formation shield shattered, but the formation shield did not break.

The cultivators inside the island could not contain their excited howls; they had survived.

Those among them who had some knowledge of formations could tell that the reason the formation could withstand the impact of the massive waves was largely due to an Array Master who was highly skilled in formations taking action.

What they did not know was the extreme manipulation that Li Shiming had performed in such a short time.

He Wei and Liu Gang were dumbfounded as they watched Li Yuan Ba, who they had just seen coordinating his Divine Thought and hands constantly, issuing hundreds of commands to the formation just moments before the massive wave struck the formation shield.

The hundreds of commands made the formation shield come alive, dissolving the force of the massive waves into nothingness.

“There are more massive waves!” He Wei exclaimed before they could rejoice for long.

Within the range of the formation’s sensitivity, fifteen more massive waves were surging towards Northern Island, each one stronger than the last.

He Wei’s face was ghastly pale; he could almost imagine what they were about to face.

Their mission to guard the island had not ended, and they could not leave Northern Island.

But now, both He Wei and Liu Gang were contemplating leaving, for they could not believe that the great formation of Northern Island could withstand the next fifteen massive waves.

Those were not just massive waves, they were clearly shockwaves triggered by the combat presence of a Nascent Soul, which, despite releasing its energy continually along the way due to the distance, were still more than the great formation of Northern Island could withstand.

“Fellow seniors, please input all your Spiritual Power!” Li Yuan Ba’s voice was deep and forceful, exuding confidence.

It was Li Yuan Ba who spoke, but in reality, it was a command from Li Shiming himself.

Li Shiming, using Li Yuan Ba’s body and Divine Thought, had completely merged with the formation, utilizing all of the CPUs to join in the computational control of the formation.

“Let’s follow the junior brother’s instructions!” He Wei and Liu Gang gritted their teeth and said in unison.

In the Cultivation World, where power is respected and abilities esteemed, Li Yuan Ba had both the strength and capability; his fellow sect members would naturally follow his orders when no other options were available.

The fifteen massive waves arrived swiftly, and the cultivators inside the island, who were cheering and glad for having survived, saw the continuous massive waves, overwhelmed by the power each carried.

Some cultivators were bewildered, some cried, some went mad, some were aggrieved, displaying a variety of reactions.

Facing the approaching death, apart from a few cultivators with resolute wills, the rest were filled with despair.

Li Shiming sensed the power of the massive waves; any one of them had the force exceeding a full-strength strike from a Golden Core Peak cultivator.

Normally, the great formation here might be able to withstand a full-strength strike from a Golden Core Peak cultivator, but it absolutely could not bear fifteen such strikes consecutively.

But that would be without his control; with his control, the situation would be drastically different.
