Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135: Understanding of Formation

"Just like the Counter-Strike Formation, its power comes from the formation itself, so wanting to form a counterattack means drawing power from within the formation."

"But no matter what, it shouldn’t be possible to draw out this much power from the formation!"

The other three Sect Masters were likewise filled with confusion, completely unaware of how this formation had managed to erupt with such strong power.

"Sect Master, why don’t both of us give it a try together?" Vice Sect Master Zhuang Peng suggested that he and Huang Gu, along with those four Sect Masters, join forces to see if they could break through the formation.

The Man in the Black Mist simply spread his hands, helplessly saying, "I can’t help you with this. The formation seems highly resistant to the deathly aura from my body, so if I try to help you, the counterattack will likely be even more violent."

Ning Fan, however, waved his hand to stop Zhuang Peng from taking action and leapt in front of the formation.

"What does he want to do?"

"Is He preparing to break the formation alone?"

"Are you kidding me? Even the four of us together couldn’t break through, does he really think his understanding of formations is that high?"

"Strength alone won’t do it; what’s being tested here is the understanding of formations."

Make no mistake, their previous actions might have seemed like mindless bombardment, but in reality, they were studying the formation from different angles to see if they could break it.

Yet every attempt they made was neutralized by the formation’s counterattack, leaving them only to maintain the initial situation.

But Ning Fan moved forward, placing a hand on the formation and carefully feeling the flow of power within it.

"This formation... it’s not purely a Counter-Strike Formation; there are other formations nested within."

Ning Fan had gained considerable knowledge about formations from the inheritance memories from his mother.

His letting the four join forces to attack the formation was just to identify more flaws within it, thereby finding a way to break it.

After their combined efforts, Ning Fan had confirmed that the formation was a composite one, formed by the nesting of several formations.

"First is absorption, then transformation, followed by release. This is a complete cycle, so the crucial formations are two."

In less than a few dozen breaths, Ning Fan had figured out the entire operating principle of the formation.

"All of you step back, let me give it a try."

Ning Fan took a deep breath, with Spiritual Power surging within his body, and slowly accumulating in his palm.

The previous four couldn’t break the formation because their explosive force at the formation’s weak points was insufficient, which was then absorbed by the outer absorption formation, transformed by the inner formation, and finally released.

As long as he could unleash a force in an instant that surpassed the absorption formation’s limit, then he could break the formation.

Hearing Ning Fan’s words, everyone ran out a distance of several dozen feet without hesitation.

The reason was simple: their power was far inferior to Ning Fan’s, and the formation-generated counterattack force was already so powerful.

If Ning Fan stepped in himself, how could they cope?

In the event that the formation wasn’t broken, the force returned several fold would likely destroy everything in the vicinity, and they wouldn’t be able to block it!

Once everyone had retreated, Ning Fan then began to release his power.

Without holding anything back, he exerted his full strength from the start.

"Boom!"

The deep muffled sound exploded instantaneously, and the invisible shockwave spread in all directions, with the devastating energy within demolishing everything around it in the blink of an eye.

Even though the others had moved out several dozen feet, they were still staggered by this force, barely able to maintain their stance.

"Such intense residual might!"

"Terrifying!"

"Is this his true full-power eruption?"

The moment Ning Fan released his force, the few of them realized what he intended to do.

To strike the formation with overwhelming power, exceeding the limit of what the formation could bear, breaking it naturally.

What they hadn’t anticipated was that, without waiting for the formation’s counterattack, just the collision and spillover of their energies had already shown such might.

Ning Fan, being at the very center of the impact, bore almost eighty percent of the residual force.

At that moment, he felt as if all his bones were trembling and squeaking, as if conveying to him the mightiness of this power.

"Indeed, the formation is continuously absorbing my power."

Ning Fan, sensing the power from the formation, narrowed his eyes and increased the release of his own power.

But unexpectedly, the formation’s absorption speed seemed to exceed his anticipation.

Despite his full-power release, the formation was still unceasingly absorbing power.

When he noticed the underlying formation starting to operate, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"Dammit, the absorbed power is about to be counterattacked!"

Before Ning Fan could retreat, fierce Spiritual Power burst forth from the formation, colliding violently with the power he had released!

"Boom!"

In an instant, a deafening explosion resounded.

The intense residual force spread in all directions, unleashing waves of shock throughout the entire forest.

Wild winds whipped up surging dust, almost immediately submerging Ning Fan’s silhouette and obscuring everyone’s vision!

"Damn it! What on earth is going on with this power?"

"It’s over, the formation is counterattacking! What do we do!"

"Is the Sect Master alright?"

Everyone exclaimed in shock, quickly unleashing their own powers to stabilize their figures.

Zhuang Peng and Huang Gu looked up hastily, trying to discern the situation inside, but they couldn’t see anything.

They could only try to sense Ning Fan’s condition based on the perception of aura.

The Man in the Black Mist’s body was surrounded by a surge of black qi, frowning as he said, "This kid is safe for the moment, but his power is at its limit output state, which he probably can’t maintain for long."

The Man in the Black Mist, after absorbing the Resentful Spirit Elixir crafted by the Resentful Deity, had spiritual power just a notch below Ning Fan’s, far stronger than any other Cultivator present.

Thus, he was the only one who could currently sense Ning Fan’s condition clearly.
