Having made up his mind, Cheng Heng suddenly sank low, Vajra Force surging beneath his feet as the rock strata shattered.
"Trying to wear down my force? What a fool's dream!"
Cheng Heng alternated his fists in a barrage. The force of the Azure Sea Formless Palm burst outward in all directions, incomparably pure Water-Gang Qi sweeping across the surroundings.
Bang bang bang bang!
The incoming demonic chains shattered one after another upon touching his martial force, their broken remnants turning into black smoke and dissipating.
Yet demonic chains continued to pour from the rock strata without end. As one broke, another arose behind it, drawing upon the earth-vein foundation of the Earth-Locking Formation, inexhaustible and endless.
The Altar Master stood at the center of the demonic sea, Demonic Essence endlessly pouring from his palms as he continuously drove the demonic chains to surround Cheng Heng. His blood-red eyes remained fixed on Cheng Heng, searching for gaps in his force to launch a fatal ambush.
"Useless! This formation is rooted in the earth veins. So long as its foundation remains, Demonic Aura will never run dry!"
The Altar Master sneered. "What you shattered was merely the surface formation core. The true foundation of the Earth-Locking Grand Formation lies buried deep beneath the rock strata!"
As Cheng Heng shattered the ceaselessly attacking demonic chains, his gaze pierced through wave after wave of demonic tide, tracing the flow of the earth veins. The Delusion-Slaying Illuminating Seal stripped away every trace of Demonic Aura interference, allowing him to instantly see through the depths of the underground rock strata to the enormous, pitch-black Darksteel Formation Disk!
That was the foundational formation base of the Third-Tier Earth-Locking Baleful Demon Formation!
The blood-red formation core he had shattered earlier had merely been the formation eye's hub.
