Mr. Zhuang also gazed wistfully at the vast formation deep in the mountains, his expression tinged with nostalgia.
Behind him, Old Kui’s face was wooden, and his eyes slightly focused as he muttered:
"It’s really... been completed..."
Simultaneously, Feng Xi sensed a lethal danger and began to howl frantically.
It used all four of its limbs, struggling vehemently, trying to break free from the Large Formation.
However, once inside Mo Hua’s formation, escaping was not so simple.
Mo Hua merely gave it a cool glance, lifted her hand slightly, and a pattern at the center of the formation pivot flashed.
The ground within the Large Formation suddenly turned into quicksand, swirling rapidly and gathering into a vortex toward the center.
The Earth-series Trapping Formation—Quicksand Formation!
Feng Xi’s eyes were fierce, and its limbs flailed, but with the ground turned to quicksand, there was no firm footing. It couldn’t break free and was sucked towards the vortex—the quicksand dragged its massive body to the center of the Large Formation.
And at the center of the large formation was the core of the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation’s trapping and killing:
The Five Elements Cycle Compound Formation.
The Five Elements Cycle Compound Formation, constructed by craftsmen with an Earth Stone Formation base as the formation media, resembles a labyrinth with a Five Elements cycle and is composed of the Five Elements positioned according to their directional affinities.
The west corresponds to metal, the east to wood, the north to water, the south to fire, and the center to earth.
In each direction, led by the main attribute of the Five Elements, a foundational Five Elements Formation filled with formation patterns is built, creating a Five Elements labyrinth.
The fundamental principles are based on "trapping" and "killing."
The Golden Series Formation base to the left uses the Golden Lock Formation as a trapping formation and the Water Sword Formation as a killing formation because metal generates water;
The Wood series Formation base to the right uses the Wood Prison Formation as a trapping formation and the Fire Rain Formation as a killing formation because wood generates fire;
The Water Series Formation base to the north uses the Inundating Water Formation as a trapping formation and the Poisonous Wood Formation as a killing formation because water generates wood;
The Fire-series Formation base to the south uses the Red Fire Formation as a trapping formation and the Earth Crack Formation as a killing formation because fire generates earth;
The Earth Series Formation base at the center uses the Quicksand Formation as a trapping formation and the Golden Light Formation as a killing formation because earth generates metal!
All Five Elements Formations are in place, interconnected in a cycle that never ceases, forming a complete system of trapping and killing.
The trapping formations hold Feng Xi, impeding its movements, while the killing formations drain its Blood Qi, putting an end to its life.
At the same time, they take advantage of the generative interactions of the Five Elements to strengthen the killing formations with the attributes of the trapping formations, maximizing the use of Spiritual Power to enhance the power of the killing formations.
The foundational Five Elements Formations are interconnected at their borders, forming a labyrinth.
Around the labyrinth, there are sturdy Earth and Wood constructions.
Atop the buildings, there are reinforced Formation Patterns, primarily of Earth and Wood with the aid of the Golden Series and interspersed with Water and Fire Series formations. Supported by the formidable Spiritual Power of the Large Formation, they are indestructible.
Feng Xi couldn’t break through and found no way out. It could only follow the Five Elements labyrinth, dashing left and right, navigating through the cycles of the Five Elements Trapping and Killing Formations until it finally died, depleted of its Blood Qi.
The cycle of the Five Elements, severing all chances of survival—that is the might of a first-class formation with eleven patterns, the Five Elements Slaughter Demon Great Formation!
Having been drawn into the formation by the Quicksand Formation, Feng Xi’s starting position was at the central Earth Series base.
The surging Spiritual Power in the Large Formation, along with the roaring of the flow of Spiritual Power, made the simple-minded and fierce Feng Xi aware of a tremendous threat.
It put all its strength into crashing against the walls of the labyrinth.
There was a thunderous boom, but the wall, reinforced by the Spiritual Power of the Large Formation, did not shatter. Instead, the luminance of the formation patterns on it dimmed slightly, clearly having consumed quite a bit of Spiritual Power.
Mo Hua’s thoughts shifted slightly, her Divine Sense guiding the flow of energy. In an instant, new Spiritual Power flowed in for replenishment, and the luminosity of the formation patterns on the stone wall was restored.
Feng Xi’s attempts to break through the wall were fruitless, and it had no choice but to start fleeing through the labyrinth.
But the Quicksand Formation had it trapped; the quicksand on the ground caused it to falter, and its movements were exceedingly slow.
Meanwhile, the Golden Light Formation Patterns on both sides lit up one after another, coalescing into thousands of golden sword beams, which assailed it like a downpour, enveloping Feng Xi within and repeatedly grinding away its Blood Qi.
The vast Spiritual Power and the ferocious aura of slaughter caused all the Foundation Building Cultivators outside the Large Formation to shiver with fear.
"Is this the might of a first-class trapping and killing formation..."
Though the Large Formation was only first-class, and the formations were of the Qi Refinement level, the sheer number of such formations was terrifying!
When the killing formations were activated, it was like tens of thousands of cultivators casting spells all at once, dense as a sudden downpour, leaving no place to hide or strategy to counter.
Once trapped within such a formidable formation, even if more than a hundred Foundation Building Cultivators assembled as Taoist Soldiers, they would likely face a hopeless demise!
