There was no more time to waste. The war drums throughout the formation were already on the verge of exploding. If not for the twelve drums being spread around the plaza, making the formation's circuit relatively long and requiring time for spiritual power to travel through it, they would have already detonated.
One could only imagine it: if all twelve war drums exploded at once within the formation, with the Formation Barrier restricting the outside, the explosive force would slam into the entire interior of the formation and erase everything within it with its violent energy.
As for everyone standing around the plaza, no matter how formidable they were, they would be reduced to scraps. No—there would not even be scraps left.
With a movement of his Spiritual Sense, Chen Mo sent the Soul Chasing Nail, with several Talismans attached to it, flying toward the nearest war drum. As it approached the drum, it instantly pierced the drum's energy circuit and detonated an Explosive Talisman. At the same time, several Isolation Talismans were activated as well.
The Explosive Talisman immediately blew the war drum apart. Since the Soul Chasing Nail had damaged its energy circuit, the drum's detonation did not unleash its greatest power. Instead, its energy was divided into two explosions.
Thus, what should have been one powerful energy blast became two separate blasts with a slight interval between them. The purpose was to reduce the energy released, while the Isolation Talismans blocked the shockwave, causing the energy to rebound.
Originally, due to the original formation's isolation, the energy from the exploding war drum would have rushed inward. But Chen Mo had activated several Isolation Talismans inside the formation, blocking and reflecting the energy. In an instant, the energy shattered the original formation and surged outward.
At the same
