As for the city lord using endless clones to search for him, Wenren Sheng had ways to deal with that too.
Clones were not omnipotent.
A mental contamination formation would do the trick.
Wenren Sheng knew something about Cthulhu-related matters.
As long as the other side's clones dared to come over, their shared memories would become the best route for contamination.
After getting hit once, those Combination Spirit powerhouses would stop fooling around.
Life came first.
Since there was risk, and the rewards were not great enough to ignore that risk, they would choose to retreat and watch.
As Wenren Sheng continued his research, the Heaven Devouring Array grew more powerful while consuming less and less.
It went from fighting across three realms to fighting across four.
It could unleash a single attack capable of injuring Mahayana cultivators.
That was already extremely impressive.
Of course, it also required more and more Nascent Soul cultivators.
The principle was actually simple. It was like humans, as weak as ants, creating something like mushrooms.
It relied on combination and amplification, gathering the abilities of Nascent Soul cultivators at the bottom tier into a formation.
The formation amplified their power, allowing them to leverage the power of heaven and earth and deter cultivators of higher realms.
At its core, it was not meant for offense. It was meant for defense and deterrence.
The operating cost had also fallen. Originally, every Nascent Soul cultivator forming the array had to expend all of their spiritual power when launching an attack. Now, they only needed to use one-quarter of it.
In other words, the array could launch four consecutive attacks.
The number of Nascent Soul cultivators needed to form the array was one yuan—one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred people.
A few more or a few
