Chapter 219: Chapter 79: Magnetic Rainbow Flame Abyss (3/3)

"Demon Beast attack?"

Huo Qing, a local, was not surprised but somewhat relieved and grateful, "It’s Ash Crows. Good thing we didn’t continue forward, or we’d have been discovered."

He recognized the type of Demon Beast in an instant: "This is a type of Demon Beast that nests in the Sinking Sun Sea to the northwest, known for its ferocity and high intelligence, often ambushing caravans to seize resources."

"But why? Why would they seek their own deaths and strike at Chonggang Town?"

Huo Qing wasn’t taken aback by the Demon Beast attack. The Floating Dust Plains may be called a safe zone, but it’s only relatively so. Now, as the Tianyuan Realm is in need of rebuilding, Demon Beasts and monsters are in the majority, frequently launching attacks on human settlements, sometimes once or twice every ten days.

However, even the dumbest Demon Beast wouldn’t rashly attack a heavily defended town within a safe zone.

"Perhaps their numbers are too great, and their lair can no longer sustain them," he mused.

An Jing remembered what Iron Hand had mentioned—the Pioneering Bureau’s bounty of ’fifty Good Deeds for one Fire Crow’. Among the flock of Ash Crows, several were clearly outlined with flames, evidently the Fire Crows with bounties on their heads.

It seems that Xuanye City had foreseen this outcome a while ago, and that’s why they posted the bounty.

"With a Demon Beast attack, can we still make it to Chonggang Town today?"

You Ruhui was rather anxious. She knew she and An Jing could only stay in the Tianyuan Realm for three days, and they had already slept for most of one.

If they were delayed further, it would be detrimental to her as well, as she and An Jing, now secret allies, had affairs to settle.

"Don’t worry about it."

Huo Qing, on the other hand, was full of confidence, pointing to the gradually lighting up Formation Patterns on the distant walls of Chonggang Town: "This is why I said Chonggang Town is safe..."

Following Huo Qing’s words, all the Formation Patterns on the walls of Chonggang Town had completed charging.

Boom, boom, boom!

Even from dozens of miles away, An Jing could feel the Earth Vein beneath his feet suddenly begin to stir and roar. Then, with the torrential force of the Yangtze River, a great surge of Spirit Mechanisms plunged into the abyss, fiercely converging towards Chonggang Town in the distance.

That was followed by the sound of thunder!

A circular arc of thunder enveloped in red flame, with its core gradually turning golden, suddenly surged up. It expanded outwards in concentric circles, emitting countless golden-red electrical arcs!

Flocks of Ash Crows and Fire Crows, resembling dark clouds, vaporized upon contact with the electrical arcs, scattering as real dust into the sky, while others on the periphery screeched and fled, only to become darkened corpses, falling like raindrops.

Even a Foundation Establishment Realm Great Monster Fire Crow, hidden within the flock, was engulfed in the Magnetic Light, and after a pitiful wail, it swelled into a sky of purple-red Demon Fire, which exploded outwards, with numerous Demon Flame Blood Crystals condensing onto the ground.

With the death of the Crow King, the flock was instantly incinerated by the Magnetic Light. What was originally a dimly lit expanse covering the sky, the Ash Crow congregation turned into ashes across half the heavens in an instant.

"...Because the Protective Great Formation ’Magnetic Rainbow Flame Abyss’ guarding this town, is the most powerful amongst the Seventeen Towns of the Floating Dust Plains!"

Only now did Huo Qing finish his sentence, his eyes shining with aspiration: "It was after seeing the Protective Great Formation ’Hualuan Divine Wood’ of Danlin Town easily slay three Foundation Establishment level Great Monsters that I developed an interest in Formations."

"It can create and protect, assist in cultivation, and even adjust the Earth Veins... If it weren’t so difficult, it would be a truly all-powerful skill!"

"Indeed, it’s very formidable."

An Jing nodded slightly as well, since with his Mars and Taibai Star Life, he was extremely sensitive to the flow of spiritual energies of corresponding attributes.

That very moment, An Jing perceived that the powers of the surrounding world were forcibly drawn into the Great Formation encircling the town, transforming into the purest ’Earth Flame Magnetic Rainbow’.

Even he could at most rely on the Fate Pattern to retain a few streams of Spirit Qi for use, while others without the Fate Patterns or corresponding Protective Divine Skills would likely fall into a stalemate devoid of Spirit Qi to manipulate.

This is a characteristic of a "Law Domain" unique to high-level formations.

According to An Jing’s conjecture, when the formation in Chonggang Town is fully operational, it may indeed create a terrifying Magnetic Rainbow Flame Abyss that transforms the entire world into the domain of the formation.

Not just that.

An Jing also realized that the domain connected by this formation is not limited to the present world; it also extends to some exceedingly mysterious places...

"It’s the Netherworld."

Subdue Evil said, "This formation does not exist in isolation; it has connections, linking to the Netherworld and through the Netherworld to other formations in the towns of the Floating Dust Plains, forming a huge network."

"And this network of formations... is likely what is known as the ’Spiritual Network’ on this side of the Tianyuan Realm!"

Only those in possession of a chip can log in to the Spiritual Network at any time and be considered ’safe zone’ people, recognized by the formation... So that’s how it is, formation masters are not only experts in formations, but in the Tianyuan Realm, they also double as programmers.

It seems that supporting Huo Qing in learning formations may indeed be a good investment. It doesn’t matter how skillful he becomes in the end; having an average level in the Tianyuan Realm is already very useful!

"Indeed."

While An Jing was pondering, Subdue Evil Sword Spirit also spoke with delight, "The Earth Vein here is of the Golden Flame dual attributes, and it is a land of prolonged battles for the military clans, brimming with Blood Qi, perfectly suited for your cultivation!"

"This place, is indeed a Blessed Land for you!"

You Ruhui likewise approached, saying softly, "An Jing, the Earth Vein here forms a ’Merging Gold to Brighten Flame’ array, where gold merges and aids the flame, intense flame forges the gold, a natural ’Bestowing Weaponry Place’... Whether it’s Golden Flame, both are excellent lands!"

"Certainly."

Replying in one breath to one person and one sword, An Jing’s gaze towards Chonggang Town was filled with intense desire, "It seems this place is truly my Blessed Land, there is Golden Flame and also Blood Fiend... I’m set on buying a house here!"

At this moment, the flocks of birds lingering in the sky were already dispersing in defeat.

Previously menacing Monster Birds were fleeing in all directions, trying to escape the terrifying pursuit of the Magnetic Light.

In the end, most of the flock was annihilated by the Earth Flame Magnetic Rainbow, but there were still many that managed to escape from the range of the formation, which was not fully activated.

Among them, there was a flock of fleeing birds heading towards the direction of An Jing and his companions!

"Eh? What a coincidence? The dispersing flock is still very dangerous, let’s hurry on our way!"

Upon noticing this, Huo Qing immediately wanted to turn and leave.

However, he was unaware that accompanying him were one with Heavenly Mandate and another with Emperor’s Blood; it would have been stranger if these Demon Beasts didn’t come their way.

"I remember Fire Crows are fifty Good Deeds points each, right?"

Thus speaking, An Jing took out an Icefall Long Spear, eyeing the dozen or so Spirit Awakening Fire Crows in the flock, appearing quite eager to try, "If I can catch them all in one go, that’s also a few hundred Good Deeds points, can’t let it go to waste."

You Ruhui also raised her hand, and nature’s spiritual energy around her began to slowly converge towards her.

"Really going to fight?"

Huo Qing was amazed, but at this point, he had no choice but to join in.

This former accountant, now Apprentice Array Master, now had neither formations nor talismans on him and could only reluctantly take out an Icefall Rifle, "Sigh... both of you, remember to run if we can’t beat them!"
