This Old Man Spent Billions Setting Up Formations-Now I'm Broke

At that moment, a hand emerged from the cave entrance; the hand was wrinkled and the skin was dry.

It seemed to be grabbing at this space.

In an instant, the black dot that was originally expanding slowly grew to a size of one meter.

Seeing this scene, Tang Dongyang narrowed his eyes, and a red button appeared in his hand.

No rush, we need to wait a little longer.

In order to maximize his gains, Tang Dongyang's hands were sweating, and his eyes were fixed on the spatial passage.

"Mid-stage Golden Core."

Gu Yuan naturally ignored these so-called intimidation and missile threats. Standing less than 100 meters away in the space passage, he could tell the level of that hand at a glance.

The passageway then reached a height of two meters.

They've arrived.

The space trembled slightly, and within moments, over a hundred cultivators emerged.

Among these cultivators, their cultivation levels varied, ranging from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

At that moment, an elderly man with a full head of white hair walked out from inside.

It was the owner of that hand from before.

"The Spiritual Qi is so thin?"

The old man's first words after leaving were his assessment of the Spiritual Qi of this world.

He seemed somewhat disgusted, but didn't say anything more.

"Start."

His lips moved slightly.

The numerous cultivators who followed followed, each standing on a sword, and went in all directions.

Not good.

Tang Dongyang hadn't expected that the other side wouldn't gather first and then attack together.

Instead, they dispersed and each had their own tasks.

Several hundred cultivators have already gathered here. If he doesn't take action, it will inevitably cause unrest in other areas.

Sword Armor!

The longsword in his hand was drawn; an ordinary magical Law Artifact, it instantly carried supreme sword momentum as it headed towards the spatial passage.

"Golden Core?"

The old man raised an eyebrow, immediately looked in the direction of Tang Dongyang, and uttered two words.

Even in a world with such scarce Spiritual Qi, there are still Golden Core experts.

That's really interesting.

His gaze sharpened instantly, and a beam of light followed the sword's momentum, the two about to collide.

Sword Yi!

Sword Bing!

Sword Ding!

Tang Dongyang's purpose in making his move was not to fight against others, but to buy time and allow more powerful beings from the other world to gather.

With a wave of his hand, three more Sword Qi strikes swept outwards.

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out.

The sound echoed throughout the entire island.

The white-haired old man, who had initially looked down on them, narrowed his eyes slightly.

Unable to react in time, he could only deflect the attack in front of him, thus neglecting the other disciples.

Hundreds of cultivators at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages were instantly split in two.

Blood was splattered on the ground.

A scene of utter devastation.

Good tactic!

The two fought each other from a distance, with Spiritual Qi constantly flowing in the sky, but the white-haired old man was slightly at a disadvantage.

Cold sweat broke out on his back.

I thought he was just an ordinary Golden Core cultivator, but I didn't expect his Cultivation Method techniques to be so formidable.

Damn it!

"Tang Dongyang's strength is quite good within the Golden Core realm."

Gu Yuan, who had been following this battle closely, also praised Tang Dongyang.

He truly deserves to be called the most talented one in the entire world of performing arts and cultivation.

Underground space.

You can still faintly hear some bombardment sounds, but they are so faint that you can't hear them at all unless you listen carefully.

The members of the Azure Mountain Sect were constantly waiting for a message from their sect leader, their hands gripping weapons and surrounded by Spiritual Qi.

Tang Dongyang did not use lethal force, but instead stalled for time.

As the passageway grew larger, this time, over a thousand cultivators appeared.

Mid-stage Golden Core!

Golden Elixir Perfection!

There are more than ten people at the Golden Core stage alone.

"Golden Core?"

These dozen or so Golden Core cultivators also looked at Tang Dongyang in surprise.

But the surprise lasted less than a second.

He immediately prepared to make a move.

There's no time to delay any longer.

Although Tang Dongyang felt that he was quite strong, fighting against more than ten experts whose cultivation was higher than his own was simply beyond his capabilities.

Both sides made their moves almost simultaneously.

Tang Dongyang gritted his teeth and revealed all his cards.

Countless deadly attacks were launched at the thousands of people.

Tang Dongyang spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated over a thousand meters backward.

His aura weakened, and his clothes became tattered.

Blood enveloped his entire body, and countless wounds were etched upon it.

He was forcefully knocked onto a tiny, isolated island, blasting it to smithereens.

"Quickly occupy..."

The elder, dressed in brocade robes, glanced through the air at the dying Tang Dongyang and gave another order.

Before he could even finish his sentence, goosebumps rose on the back of his head.

Danger!

The sixth sense from a Golden Core cultivator.

"Not good!"

Gu Yuan listened to them say something negative again and inwardly complained about their lack of vocabulary.

Then quietly watch what happens next.

Above them, countless tiny black dots were hurtling towards them.

They didn't know what it was.

Leave immediately!

The Golden Elixir is actually quite fast, so avoiding being hit by a missile is relatively easy.

Otherwise, Tang Dongyang wouldn't have risked serious injury to buy time.

But just as they were about to move...

One by one, formations suddenly rose up.

The underground world.

The Grand Elder sensed the activation of the formation and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"With my formation in place, those otherworldly cultivators won't be able to escape."

The First Elder's voice rang out, and he looked at the Second Elder Yi Changge beside him with a smile.

Formation?

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder was somewhat puzzled, as he remembered that the Sect Master had previously abandoned the arrangement of the defensive formation.

Moreover, the effectiveness of defensive formations is limited; a single formation is only useful against those at the Qi Refining stage.

If the opponent has surpassed the Qi Refining stage, I'm afraid...

Why are you staring at me like that?

"I'm not stupid. I naturally know which realm my own formation is effective against."

Seeing the Second Elder's puzzled expression, the First Elder seemed to understand what he was thinking, and said with a faint smile.

Then what?

"I worked day and night, and even enlisted the help of many disciples. In the end, I set up tens of thousands of formations within the island."

"Having spent billions of dollars to purchase the necessary jade, this old man is now penniless."

"You guys better help me out, otherwise I might end up as a beggar, hahahahahaha."

The elder waved his hand dismissively, laughing heartily, showing no concern for the billions in assets.

He has lived a long life, experiencing many hardships in his youth, finally accumulating wealth in middle age, and now in his old age, he plans to take a good rest and become an actor to experience life.

Who would have thought I'd encounter something like cultivation?

He never imagined that he would actually develop a formation.

There's even an interdimensional invasion coming up later.

So what if it's billions?

They're just a string of numbers.

He's doing quite well now; he has no inclination to be someone's slave.
