Fourth-Tier Evil Gu

Layers upon layers of formation light lit up across the Heaven-Patrolling Tower Ship. In the blink of an eye, the treasure vessel transformed into an impregnable giant fortress!

Protected by the formation restrictions, the Red Flame Sect disciples aboard the treasure ship began unleashing their killing techniques without restraint. Immortal arts, sharp Sword Qi, strange talismans, spirit-armored Corpse Puppets, vicious curses, and more crashed incessantly upon the encircling evil gu creatures with extraordinary force. For a time, their dazzling radiance was no less brilliant than the motley pink mist surrounding them.

The formations aboard the Heaven-Patrolling Tower Ship had been meticulously arranged by the Wusheng Sect's Formation Dao grandmasters and Shen Mo. Though their offensive capabilities were somewhat lacking, their defensive effects were exceptionally formidable.

So long as sufficient Spirit Stones or cultivators supplied them with spiritual power, they could withstand any attack below the fifth tier!

The other several dozen resource-gathering teams had all been equipped with similar large-scale magical treasures... Some had been vehicle-type artifacts once treasured by various factions, reinforced with formation restrictions. Others were war treasures from when the Red Flame Domain cultivation world had resisted the Heavenly Demon invasion, their killing power exceptionally fierce.

Even in the present-day Red Flame Sect, disciples above the Qi Gathering Realm Fourth Layer were not especially numerous. They were the sect's backbone and could not be allowed to throw their lives away in vain.

The safeguards provided for them by the sect had been pushed almost to the utmost limit.

Pre-departure drills, route planning, methods for handling crises, pills and talismans for every purpose, large-scale magical treasures, and more were all far more comprehensive than they had been during the resistance against the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

Furthermore, every team brought along a peak third-tier Demon Soul General.
