Out of Control
Originally, there was an energy ocean surrounding the island. However, starting three years ago, the great formation began to change, and this ocean began to slowly disappear. Now, due to these two consecutive violent fluctuations, the energy ocean has completely disappeared, turning into a dry seabed!
Boom boom boom!
Violent flames erupted from the cracked seabed, more than ten times stronger than the previous energy fluctuations. This energy burst was directly beneath the Nine Revolutions Spring Return Great Formation, and the array was directly impacted by the flames!
Tens of thousands of martial artists who had set up the formation were simultaneously hit by this fierce impact. Some juniors whose cultivation was not even as high as that of the Dao Palace even let out a scream and were directly separated from the formation.
"What's going on!?"
"What have you done Purple Gold Medicine Saint! Didn't you say that with this great formation, our power could be gathered together and everything would be foolproof?"
One alchemist was furious to see his junior being thrown out by the energy impact, coughing up blood and suffering internal injuries.
They came to help set up the formation, firstly to comprehend the formation patterns, and secondly for the benefits promised by the Nine Li Witch Kingdom. Now, they haven't received the benefits, haven't comprehended the formation patterns, and their disciple has been severely injured. Of course, they can't accept this.
"How dare you question me? If you hadn't refused to contribute the fire, how could this have happened!"
The Purple Gold Medicine Saint said angrily. He, Danxin Old Ancestor, Ou Mingyin were at the center of the formation during the explosion and bore the brunt of the impact. Although they were highly skilled, they were still not unscathed.
"Contribute the fire seed? Do you take us for children! This Medicine Nurturing Great Formation is far beyond your control. If we contribute the fire seed, we might lose even the fire seed itself!"
"Stop pretending to be a master; your grand formation is completely ineffective!"
The saying goes that those in the same profession are often jealous of each other. Although the alchemists present were far less skilled in Purple Gold Medicine Saint, they were unwilling to be made to serve as mere supporting characters, as bricks and tiles for the Purple Gold Medicine Saint's Nine Revolutions Spring Return Great Formation. When the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation was completed, the Purple Gold Medicine Saint would take the lion's Big Head of the benefits, while they would only get a small portion.
Now the situation has changed; their disciple is injured, so these alchemists naturally won't stand with the Purple Gold Medicine Saint.
At this moment, the Nine Revolutions Spring Return Great Formation was in imminent danger, and the violent fire elemental energy immediately began to rage within the formation's area.
Many young alchemists were unable to withstand such violent fire energy, and were burned so badly that they screamed and jumped three feet high, causing chaos at the scene.
"You old scoundrel Zijin! My embers are still inside! This is all your doing!"
Danxin Old Ancestor exclaimed in shock and anger, "The violent flame energy has driven the great formation mad! At this moment, Danxin Old Ancestor's biggest concern is his own fire seed, but he can't retrieve it!"
At this moment, the Purple Gold Medicine Saint had no time to pay attention to the Danxin Old Ancestor's questioning. He felt the frenzied fire elemental energy tearing at his Seven Emotions Fire.
That ferocious energy caused the Purple Gold Medicine Saint's heart to bleed.
"The Seven Emotions!"
If the core fire of the great formation was affected, the most impacted was the Seven Emotions Fire, which served as the formation's fire.
The Seven Emotions Fire had just become a formation fire and absorbed a large amount of Ling Xie'er's energy, and was riding high. However, unexpectedly, the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation experienced a change, and as the formation fire, she instantly suffered a terrifying fluctuation of vital energy.
"Ah!" Seven Emotions Fire's face showed a painful expression. "My power is being constantly drained by this great formation. I'm being torn apart! Ah!"
The Seven Emotions Fire emitted a painful moan!
However, at that moment, she saw Ling Xie'er not far away.
Ling Xie'er hugged her legs, curled up in a dark corner. Her whole body was enveloped in Black Flames. It was this thin layer of Black Flames that blocked all the violent energy impacts, keeping Ling Xie'er safe and sound.
The short distance is like heaven and earth.
This stunned the Seven Emotions Fire. How could Ling Xie'er so easily withstand such a terrifying energy impact!?
"Little sister, please save your older sister."
In despair, the Seven Emotions Fire spurred her to seek Ling Xie'er 'Ling Xie'er protection, knowing it would be easy for Ling Xie'er to do so.
"You've really lost all shame! I've never seen such a shameless, seductive slut in my life." Just then, a cold voice rang out. It was Yi Yun's voice, transmitted through Ling Xie'er's Spiritual Sense.
Having previously devoured Ling Xie'er's power, he now actually has the nerve to ask for help. Yi Yun was truly impressed by his thick skin.
Even without Yi Yun's prompting, Ling Xie'er had already distanced herself from the Seven Emotions Fire.
The so-called "timely" moment was when, just as the Seven Emotions Fire was about to reach Ling Xie'er stood up, took a few steps back, and then hugged her legs and obediently curled up in the corner.
Seeing this, Seven Emotions Fire was practically driven mad. She was almost torn to pieces, but Ling Xie'er was completely unharmed. Why was it that Ling Xie'er was acting like a wronged little girl?
At this point, outside the core area, the situation had completely spiraled out of control!
Many alchemists had already led their disciples away from the range of the Nine Revolutions Spring Return Great Formation —at this point, who still had the mind to set up an formation? If they continued, not only their disciples but also the alchemists themselves would suffer serious injuries.
This formation is becoming increasingly chaotic, and it's not impossible for it to collapse completely in the short term.
The High Priest's expression had already changed drastically; the current state of the formation's transformation was dozens of times more insane than before!
"Purple Gold Medicine Saint, what are you doing! What happened!"
The Medicine Nurturing Great Formation importance, but now it is plagued by rampant primordial energy and chaotic laws. Even the array's flames cannot withstand it and it seems on the verge of collapse!
When Ling Xie'er was the source of the flame, the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation had some problems, but it was still being maintained. But now that the Seven Emotions Fire has been used, it's like the building is about to collapse!
"The Seven Emotions!"
At this moment, the Purple Gold Medicine Saint no longer cared about the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation; his fire seed had been nourished by several generations and was extremely precious.
The Purple Gold Medicine Saint was desperate; he was going to gamble everything to break free of the Seven Emotions Fire from the great formation and forcibly retrieve it. Doing so might result in a significant loss of the Seven Emotions Fire, but he had no other choice. The loss could be made up for later.
Just as the Purple Gold Medicine Saint was about to forcibly retrieve the Seven Emotions Fire, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold.
This is a deadly threat!
The High Priest stared at the Purple Gold Medicine Saint and said coldly, "Purple Gold Medicine Saint, are you going to take back the array fire? Taking back the array fire now means you're disregarding the consequences of the array collapsing? You just said you've entrusted the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation to me and that you'll stabilize it. Now, if anything irreversible happens to the array, I will immediately kill you under the array and bury you with my Medicine Nurturing Great Formation!"
