King of Creation Chapter 2264 - 2249: The Rogue Formation

At this moment, the space within the Blood River Forbidden Land where that mysterious Blood Light Formation had been discovered was already covered with an extremely sophisticated space-folding Formation.

The space inside the entire Blood River Forbidden Land had been expanded at least fiftyfold.

At a glance, over ten thousand Ancestor God Temple Priests, dressed in all kinds of robes and wearing all sorts of Jade Ornaments, were busily moving about.

At first sight, with tens of thousands coming and going, swiftly shuttling about and even skimming through the air like they were on swings, the entire interior of the Blood River Forbidden Land looked extremely chaotic.

But if one looked closely, one would discover it was actually extremely orderly.

Everyone had their own duties, their own area of activity.

Some were checking various Formation nodes, some were pouring Spirit Stones into the Formation hubs, some were controlling Formation operation, some were constantly redrawing Formation patterns.

Walking all the way in, the Formations Ye Zhen discovered and recognized numbered more than a dozen.

There were Spiritual Power Tide Formations, Leakage Void Gathering Power Formations, as well as Earth Vein Activation Formations, Grand Five Elements Spirit Gathering Formations, Yin Yang Concealing Formations, Thunder Fire Evil-Dispelling Formations, All Spirits Condensing Stone Formations and so on.

In this Blood River Forbidden Land space that had been folded dozens of times over, Formations practically covered everything.

Basically, all these Formations were arranged around that Mysterious Blood Light Formation.

There were Formations that drew upon Earth Vein power to collide head-on with the power inside the Blood Light Formation, and there were those that gathered Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi against the power of the Blood Light Formation.

There were even Formations that led out the Blood Light Formation’s negative power, then condensed it into Blood Qi Pearls and Fiendish Qi Pearls.

And there were Formations that directly used Spirit Stones to trigger the most yang, most rigid evil-dispelling Pure Yang Fire Formation and Heavenly Thunder Formation, to restrain and dissolve the negative power within the Mysterious Blood Light Formation.

All told, more than a thousand large and small Formations were continuously operating at this moment, and a portion of them were Formations Ye Zhen did not recognize.

What shocked Ye Zhen even more was that among the more than ten thousand Priests within this Blood River Forbidden Land, the weakest in Cultivation were at the Middle Stage of Realm King Realm, and the majority were Priests at the Late Stage of Realm King Realm.

The number of Dao Realm Priests, at a rough glance, actually exceeded five hundred!

Five hundred Dao Realm!

That was absolutely a figure to make one’s heart tremble.

This, in a certain sense, showed the depth of the Ancestor God Temple’s foundations, but Ye Zhen believed that the Temple’s foundations were definitely far more than this.

"Ye Zhen, you’re here!" The Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo, who was currently studying Formations at close range, saw Ye Zhen and gave a slight smile.

"Ye Zhen pays respects to all Supreme Elders, to Great Priest Tongna, and to all Great Priests!" Ye Zhen greeted according to rank and proper etiquette.

The Ancestor God Temple could be said to be the place in Great Zhou with the strictest rules; in a sense, Ye Zhen was still very observant of regulations.

"It’s been more than three years; you, this Marshal, have finally shown your face again! However, in these more than three years, you’ve done well." Supreme Elder Wuy Lian looked at Ye Zhen and voiced his approval.

Every one of the Ancestor God Temple’s Supreme Elders and Power Priests lived pampered lives; coming here to labor day and night, the suffering went without saying.

Over these three years, Ye Zhen had been constantly improving their wine, food, and all kinds of living conditions, so that their days weren’t too hard to endure; that was why Supreme Elder Wuy Lian said this.

Ye Zhen felt a bit embarrassed. In truth, these three years he had always been a hands-off Shopkeeper; all these matters had been handed over to Liuu Feng and Niu Er to handle, with the specific logistical arrangements all carefully managed by Liuu Feng.

Of course, Ye Zhen had arranged it this way also to forge some goodwill; and that bond had now been formed.

"Supreme Elder, these years, I did want to come, but I didn’t have the qualifications!" Ye Zhen’s gaze flicked lightly toward the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna; the meaning couldn’t have been clearer.

After that, Ye Zhen presented the Imperial Decree to Great Priest Tongna. "Here, this is His Majesty’s decree commanding me to participate in the affairs of the Blood River Forbidden Land. May Priest Tong Daquan verify it!"

Knowing that Ye Zhen was using the opportunity to give him a hard time, Tongna merely snorted coldly; as for that decree, he didn’t even bother to look at it.

Supreme Elder Wuy Lian, to have lived to this age, was no fool; he did not involve himself in the grievances between Ye Zhen and Tongna.

With a somewhat weary rub of his brow, Supreme Elder Wuy Lian pointed toward the nearby Mysterious Blood Light Formation and said, "To be honest, it’s been three years, and this Formation has exhausted our blood and sweat. The degree of unraveling is still incomparably slow.

You’ve come at the right time; young people’s minds are nimble, and you’re a Commander besides. Tell us, do you have any ideas for breaking the Formation?"

Ye Zhen was stunned when he heard this.

His gaze swept over the surrounding Supreme Elders and Ancestor God Temple Priests who specialized in Formation study, and his expression grew even more shocked.

At this moment, these Supreme Elders and specialized Formation researchers of the Ancestor God Temple were all looking at Ye Zhen with a hint of expectation, and their faces were full of fatigue!

One had to know that although Ye Zhen belonged to the Ancestor God Temple and had some knowledge of Formations, he was still an outsider; compared to these Priests’ attainments in Formations, he was far inferior.

Yet now, these Priests were looking at Ye Zhen with expectant eyes—this group was the most profound in Formation attainments within the Great Zhou Empire.

And they had actually reached the point of seeking Ye Zhen’s help.

It was obvious that in the unraveling and research of this Mysterious Blood Light Formation, there had not been much progress!

A group of the Great Zhou’s foremost Formation experts had studied this Formation for more than three years and still had no significant breakthrough; then this Mysterious Blood Light Formation...

With a gulping sound, Ye Zhen swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said somewhat haltingly, "Can I be told the current degree of unraveling or research?"

At these words, the faces of all the Priests, including the many Great Priests and Supreme Elders, grew somewhat dark and gloomy.

"You could say that at present there hasn’t been any great progress. Over these three years, we’ve consumed a sea of resources, transferred in vast numbers of personnel, and deployed more than two thousand experimental Formations above and below ground, yet we’ve only managed to consume one percent of the negative power stored inside this Blood Light Formation!

Mm, possibly not even one percent..." The Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo spoke with a bitter smile.

"More than three years, and not even one percent..."

Ye Zhen fell silent.

At this rate, to completely exhaust the power painstakingly accumulated within this Mysterious Blood Light Formation, at least three hundred years or even more would be required.

But now, at least one underground Mysterious Blood Light Formation had already erupted.

Three hundred years from now, everything would be far too late.

"So we’re still stuck at the stage of consuming the accumulated negative power within this Mysterious Blood Light Formation? It still can’t be unraveled?" Ye Zhen asked.

This question caused Supreme Elder Wuy Lian’s expression to turn somewhat bitter. "Actually, methods to break this Formation do exist; it’s not that there are none.

It’s just that the one who deployed this Mysterious Blood Light Formation is frankly rather shameless!"

"Shameless?"

Ye Zhen looked utterly puzzled. One could still play shameless tricks in Formation Deployment?

"That’s right!"

"In fact, there is a way to break the Formation. However, to break it, we must first deal with the vast Blood Qi and various negative powers that have accumulated within this Mysterious Blood Light Formation over tens of thousands of years.

If we cannot resolve that ocean of negative power, then forcibly breaking the Formation is no different from directly triggering the Grand Formation!"

"Yet the Blood Qi and various negative powers within this Mysterious Blood Light Formation have been accumulating for tens of thousands, even a hundred thousand years.

The quantity is simply beyond calculation!

With our current strength, we simply cannot neutralize it!

And to break the Formation, we must dissolve the oceanic energy accumulated within it. It’s practically unsolvable—that’s what I mean by shameless!" Supreme Elder Wuy Lian said with a bitter smile.

"According to our estimates, the total amount of Blood Qi and negative power of less than one percent that we’ve currently dissolved within this Mysterious Blood Light Formation is at least equivalent to the combined Spiritual Power Cultivation of a thousand Dao Realm Peak experts—and that’s not even factoring in how the concentration of negative power multiplies deeper within the Blood Light Formation," the Third Grand Power Sacrifice Kan Mo added.

Hiss!

The sound of inhaled cold breath came from Ye Zhen’s mouth.

Less than one percent of the power was equivalent to the total Spiritual Power Cultivation of a thousand Dao Realm Peak experts.

Even just calculating it as one percent, the power accumulated within this Blood Light Formation would be equivalent to the combined Spiritual Power of a hundred thousand Dao Realm Peak experts.

And that was a conservative estimate.

Once this erupted...

In an instant, Ye Zhen’s entire body was drenched in cold sweat!
