Chapter 561: Formless Boundary Formation

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

With the attention of the Third-Tier sea demon, a violent momentum swept the surroundings.

However, after observing for a moment, a hint of confusion appeared in the eyes of this sea demon. Whether it was with its mind or demonic power, nothing unusual was detected in the surroundings.

“Roar!”

With a roar from the mouth of this sea demon, the surrounding sea demons quickly sprang into action, their demonic power and minds intertwining in all directions.

Thirty miles away, Xu Wucheng and the others saw the reaction of those sea demons, listening to the continuous roar, their expressions couldn’t help but become solemn.

Fortunately, there was still a considerable distance from there, if they rushed within ten miles at this moment, even with extraordinary concealment techniques, they would surely be discovered.

Chen Fei remained calm, allowing those sea demons to roar, and the Heavenly Eye at the center of his brow remained stable.

Apart from the slight fluctuation of the black barrier at the first moment, the barrier did not show any abnormalities again.

Therefore, after searching for a while, and not finding any abnormal sea demons, they gradually calmed down.

Xu Wucheng and the other four looked at Chen Fei, not knowing how Chen Fei’s progress was going, and whether he had broken through the barrier obstruction.

If even Chen Fei couldn’t find a way, then the others would be helpless as well.

By then, they could only return to the Sea Dominion City along the original path and report the situation here.

Although the true nature of the black barrier had not been determined, judging from the cautious att.i.tude of the sea demons, whatever was inside was probably of great significance.

By then, the level of this mission would rise, and it would not concern them much.

After all, to infiltrate past so many sea demons, especially with the encirclement of Third-Tier late sea demons, was practically impossible.

Ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators simply couldn’t achieve it, even if they were skilled in infiltration, the outcome would be the same.

Perhaps only those at the pinnacle of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm would have a chance to accomplish this.

But no one could guarantee that the lineup they saw now was the sea demons’ entire strength stationed here. If there were Third-Tier pinnacle sea demons skilled in infiltration among them, what would they do?

Were there Third-Tier pinnacle sea demons? Indeed, there were!

Xu Wucheng and the others only saw many Third-Tier late sea demons, but under Chen Fei’s Heavenly Eye, a Third-Tier pinnacle sea demon was actually lurking behind the black barrier.

This black barrier consisted of two layers, and that Third-Tier pinnacle sea demon was hiding behind the first layer of the barrier.

Chen Fei’s gaze continued to probe towards the second layer of the barrier. With the experience gained from earlier, probing into the second layer of the barrier now did not cause any ripples.

“Boom!”

A sudden explosion sounded from afar, drawing the attention of all the sea demons in that direction.

Xu Wucheng’s brow furrowed slightly. Among the distant fluctuating aura, there was the energy fluctuation of a martial artist.

Facing such a lineup of sea demons, someone who would still infiltrate here was likely another team that had taken on the mission.

Xu Wucheng wasn’t concerned about the safety of that team’s members but rather worried that if those people were discovered, they might drag down himself and the others.

It was a cold and ruthless thought, but also extremely realistic. When faced with danger, the first instinctive reaction of a person would be to preserve oneself.

Unless the danger involved was your own kin.

Chen Fei naturally also heard the sound, but he couldn’t spare any attention.

The sea of consciousness in his mind trembled violently, continuously bypa.s.sing the barrier’s obstruction with secret techniques.

This double-layered barrier was extremely difficult to probe, but it was only because Chen Fei’s Heavenly Eye had fused various eye techniques with different characteristics that he had the possibility to explore it.

If it were any other single eye technique, whether it was the Phoenix Eye of the Fengwu Pavilion or the Shadow Abyss Eye of the Shadow Abyss Sect, the result would be the same.

Finally, after Chen Fei’s mind had consumed seventy percent, under the Heavenly Eye, Chen Fei finally saw the scene behind the barrier.

Outside was a circle, inside was a square. Behind the barrier was an extremely peculiar formation. Even with Chen Fei’s insight into formations, he couldn’t immediately discern the function of this formation.

Apart from this formation, at the very center, there was a spherical object undulating up and down.

Every time the sphere moved, it would cause violent fluctuations in the surrounding qi of heaven and earth. At the same time, its size would also decrease by one layer.

The reduction was small, but it was extremely obvious in Chen Fei’s field of vision. The parts that disappeared all merged into the formation.

Chen Fei waved his right hand, condensed a cloud of mist, and displayed what he saw in front of Xu Wucheng and the others.

Seeing Chen Fei’s movements, Xu Wucheng and the others’ expressions s.h.i.+fted slightly. Had they seen what was behind the barrier already?

So quickly!

In their view, with so many sea demons surrounding them, the black barrier must be extremely powerful. The difficulty of breaking through it could be imagined.

As Chen Fei’s right hand moved, a mist with a square outer shape and a circular inner shape, along with the spherical formation, appeared in front of the group.

Xu Wucheng furrowed his brow slightly. If Chen Fei couldn’t recognize what this formation was, then Xu Wucheng, in terms of proficiency in formations, might be even less knowledgeable than Chen Fei. Naturally, he couldn’t discern the purpose of this formation either.

The group turned to look at Guo Huasheng. Among them, Guo Huasheng had the strongest proficiency in formations.

Guo Huasheng stared at the mist in front of him, his eyes slowly narrowing. Various formations flashed through his mind, but Guo Huasheng dismissed them one by one.

“Can you see the formation patterns clearly, as well as the fine marks on the sphere?” Guo Huasheng asked in a low voice. To finally determine the effect of the formation, they could only judge from these details.

“I’ll try.” The roar of the dragon and elephant sounded in Chen Fei’s sea of consciousness.

This was Chen Fei forcibly suppressing his own consciousness, allowing the Spirit Suppression of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique to operate automatically, protecting his consciousness from collapsing.

And as the roar of the dragon and elephant sounded, the details in the Heavenly Eye’s field of vision became clearer.

The formation patterns on the formation were already extremely intricate and difficult to discern, and with the qi of heaven and earth vibrating on them, breaking through these barriers was incredibly difficult.

But being here and only seeing a formation, it’s as if the mission hasn’t been completed because you can’t determine what the formation is for. Reporting back like this would essentially provide no results.

Chen Fei extended his right hand like a sword and continuously engraved the formation patterns he saw onto the mist in front of him.

With both form and spirit, Chen Fei almost completely replicated what he saw onto the mist.

As Chen Fei continuously engraved the formation patterns, several beams of light flashed in Guo Huasheng’s eyes, and a hint of astonishment appeared in his gaze. However, Guo Huasheng still couldn’t fully confirm whether it was the formation he had speculated.

“That’s enough, look at the sphere,” Guo Huasheng urged anxiously.

“Okay.” Chen Fei nodded and s.h.i.+fted his gaze upwards to look at the sphere.

Compared to the formation patterns on the formation, there were fewer factors affecting observation on the sphere. Chen Fei easily saw the fine marks on the sphere.

Chen Fei continued to engrave with his right hand, and the fine marks on the sphere were displayed one by one on its surface. In just a moment, the mist-formed sphere was covered with densely packed lines.

Compared to the formation patterns of the square-outer-circle-inner formation, there were actually not fewer fine marks on the sphere. In fact, there were even more.

“The Formless Realm Formation, this is the Formless Realm Formation!” Guo Huasheng exclaimed as he saw the fine marks on the sphere.

“The Formless Realm Formation? The teleportation formation?”

Upon hearing Guo Huasheng’s words, Tong Linyun felt like he had heard it somewhere before. Then, he immediately realized that this was the long-lost teleportation formation. Rumored to be able to teleport people or objects in a specified direction thousands of miles away.

If there were good boundary stones to suppress the formation, even thousands of miles away would be just a casual distance, and it might even be possible to go further.

But this formation had long been lost, and now, surprisingly, it had been discovered on the sea demon’s side.

Compared to humans, sea demons were extremely rough in their manipulation of consciousness, a characteristic determined by their race, just like how sea demons were naturally strong in physique.

Therefore, formations like this were something ordinary sea demons couldn’t set up, let alone a formation of the level of the Formless Realm Formation. When this formation was not lost in the Thousand Feathers Alliance, only a few people could control it.

In the end, it was precisely because it was too difficult to master, combined with some other reasons, that the Formless Realm Formation disappeared from the Thousand Feathers Alliance, leaving only some descriptions in ancient texts and incomplete formation patterns.

“Are these sea demons planning to go behind the Sea Dominion City?” Qin Haishan frowned and asked.

“They probably have other objectives. We’ll report what we’ve seen, and that’ll be enough,” Xu Wucheng murmured quietly, looking at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei nodded and swallowed a Skyward Spirit Pill, controlling the Cloud Gathering Stone, slowly floating backwards.

The battle fluctuations that had just occurred in the distance had completely disappeared by now. It was unclear whether the people had fled or been eliminated by the sea demons.

However, most of the Third-Tier late sea demons near the black barrier had not moved towards that direction, evidently wary of a diversionary tactic. In their minds, human martial artists were extremely cunning.

Compared to killing a few human beings, it was evidently more important to guard whatever was here.

Chen Fei led Xu Wucheng and the others, retreating with extreme patience, and even paused midway to recover his mental power.

The more urgent the situation, the less haste was required.

As the Third-Tier late sea demons no longer appeared in the vicinity, the expressions of Xu Wucheng and the others visibly relaxed. At this location, even if they were discovered, the chances of escaping in separate groups were very high.

Unlike the previous location, where there was almost no chance of escape once discovered.

Two hours later, Chen Fei and his group had traveled a hundred miles away from the Formless Realm Formation. Sea demons were now spa.r.s.e in this area, and even if they revealed their presence, they probably wouldn’t have to worry about being pursued by sea demons.

After all, with Xu Wucheng’s aura at the late Combined Aperture Tempering realm stage, ordinary Third-Tier sea demons wouldn’t dare to approach when their numbers were insufficient.

A hint of smile appeared on Xu Wucheng’s face, and Tong Linyun and the others felt the same way.

Although the process of the mission was thrilling, there hadn’t been any mishaps. Compared to the other team that took on the mission, they could be considered extremely lucky.

Reporting back what they had seen would likely secure at least half of the mission rewards.

After all, considering the difficulty of this mission, it would be almost impossible to complete without the partic.i.p.ation of Combined Aperture Tempering realm pinnacle cultivators.

Eighty miles outside the Sea Dominion City, sea demons were almost nowhere to be seen, serving as a buffer zone between the Sea Dominion City and the sea demons.

Chen Fei and his group had already deactivated the Cloud Gathering Stone and were prepared to rush back to the Sea Dominion City at full speed.

Suddenly, Chen Fei’s eyes narrowed slightly, and Xu Wucheng also stopped his movement alertly. Tong Linyun and the others were puzzled, but they remained cautious, their eyes scanning the surroundings continuously..
