Generally speaking, formations are among the most formidable and enduring methods in cultivation.
After all, they connect with the earth vein and consume numerous resources, taking the longest time to set up. If they didn’t have corresponding power, they would have long been abandoned by the Cultivation Realm.
But formations are not omnipotent; if faced with formidable techniques or clever spells, they are also hard to withstand.
At this moment, these twenty-eight rays of sword light are a supremely formidable method.
"Zheng zheng!"
Below the great hall, the cold, eerie moonlight had just fallen when it was shredded to nothing by the sharp Sword Qi.
Not only that, but all twenty-eight rays of sword light moved in unison, connecting end to end, seemingly endless, directly slashing towards the moon overhead.
"Buzz buzz!"
The entire hall seemed to tremble, the sharp Sword Qi spreading like ocean waves. In the perception of the White Light Crocodile, it was as if a great dragon of Sword Qi was roaring angrily.
The Sword Seal, combined with the mystery of artifacts and techniques, is inherently one of the sharpest methods in the world. The more the sword light splits, the sharper it becomes, ceaseless and unstoppable.
The Three Springs Moonlight Array is but a ordinary second-grade formation, merely connecting the water veins of three Spiritual Springs, and not good at defense. Against this terrifying sword light, it couldn’t hold for an instant and started shaking uncontrollably.
The moon’s phantom image above the hall’s dome was instantly riddled with holes, as if torn by countless Sword Qi, giving a sense of being broken into pieces.
Seeing this, the White Light Crocodile’s face changed dramatically, never expecting that the "robber" before him would turn out to be such a formidable sword cultivator!
No wonder he had the confidence to conduct such a risk-free business!
"Restrain!"
He immediately shouted lightly and took out a moon-shaped Jade Talisman, throwing it into the air.
At the same time, all the Spiritual Qi on the entire island seemed to converge here, the formation’s light shining brightly, the moon condensing once more, the icy aura even more intense than before.
"Arise!"
But just then, behind the Daoist below the hall, a pair of profound yellow hands suddenly coalesced.
The hands, several dozen feet large with thick fingers, seemed to be made of rock, fiercely swinging towards the moon above.
"Boom!"
The massive Qi Power made the entire island shake gently for a moment.
The White Light Crocodile felt as if a mountain range had suddenly risen within the hall, crashing towards the grand formation above.
"Boom!"
The Three Springs Moonlight Array couldn’t withstand this mighty force, shattering completely with a loud crash, the moon turning into flowing light and dissipating.
"Zheng zheng!"
With the array broken, the White Light Crocodile felt a piercing pain at his brow, the twenty-eight rays of sword light already upon him like a swimming dragon.
His heart was filled with alarm, an instinctual warning from his beastly intuition was shouting at him.
Though he still had several techniques left to use, he understood what he needed to do.
"Boom!"
Without any hesitation, his robust body moved like a golden mountain falling or a jade pillar collapsing, kneeling down directly and quickly shouting, "Spare me, I am willing to hand over the treasure vault!"
"In the treasure vault, I have set up the Heart Soul Burst Array. If I die, the formation will automatically explode, and everything inside will vanish in smoke!"
"Zheng!"
The Sword Qi stopped before the White Light Crocodile’s brow.
Yet surrounded by the twenty-eight rays of sword light, the piercing pain still made White Light Crocodile’s heart race incessantly.
But with the sword light stopped, there was now an opportunity to negotiate.
"The little crocodile has been residing on this island for years, seldom going out, all treasures are stored in the vault. The storage bag only contains some ordinary items, killing me will be of no use, allow me to give the treasure vault as a good fate to the Daoist!"
The White Light Crocodile quickly shouted, while also preparing his heart and spirit to activate the Spiritual Artifact within, ready to escape at any moment.
"Open the treasure vault!"
A cool voice called from below the hall.
"Yes, yes, the little crocodile will open the vault immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the White Light Crocodile breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to delay, he immediately chanted a Technique, taking a red key from his wrist and swinging it fiercely at the massive bronze door behind the hall.
"Boom rumble!"
The massive door opened with a loud rumble, and immediately, a wealth of treasures greeted the eyes. Piles of Spirit Stones and numerous jars of Spiritual Springs were neatly arranged.
At a glance, there were tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, and more than a thousand jars of Spiritual Springs.
Especially the Spiritual Springs, which were arranged in rows occupying a vast area, no wonder the White Light Crocodile built a vault, as an ordinary Storage Bag indeed couldn’t hold so many Spiritual Springs.
Besides the Spirit Stones and Spiritual Springs, there were various peculiar Dharma Artifacts, ores, agates, pearls, and even many women’s stockings and undergarments.
In the center of the vault, there was also a meticulously crafted Jade Platform, atop which floated a white Demon Pill.
Beneath the Jade Platform, mystic Dao Patterns spread out, forming a strange formation.
The Demon Pill seemed to be the Array Hub.
