For several days straight, Zhang Tie was immersed in the strange experience brought by the formation pearl. Only now did he understand why, in the Sky-Piercing Realm, even peak God Emperor-level powerhouses could be slain by grand formations formed from ordinary God Generals.
All because the Sky-Piercing Realm possessed something that simply did not exist in Zhang Tie's own world—formation pearls.
In Great Xia, the foundation for knights to form formations was the trinity link between their knight consciousnesses. Yet after experiencing a formation pearl, Zhang Tie realized that this so-called trinity consciousness link was merely the most basic, most basic, most basic element of a knight formation compared to a formation pearl. A grand formation formed through formation pearls was the true grand formation.
Under the connection of a formation pearl, the consciousness, mental strength, and Battle Qi of all the God Generals forming the formation were not merely linked together, but stacked atop one another, receiving varying degrees of amplification. Together, they could evolve integrated offensive or defensive techniques unique to different grand formations. Thus, the slaughter of powerful experts by grand formations formed from a group of lower-level God Generals was no longer a legend, but a very real possibility.
For example, the formation pearl Huang Baimei had given Zhang Tie was a Wish-Granting Killing Formation pearl. It allowed the God Generals aboard the airships to swiftly form a "Wish-Granting Killing Formation" whenever necessary. Once connected into the grand formation, the Wish-Granting Killing Formation pearl could increase both the attack power and defensive strength produced by the stacked Battle Qi of its members by roughly ten to twenty percent. The exact increase depended on the number of God Generals linked into the killing formation and other conditions. The more God Generals joined the formation, and the stronger
