Head-On Assault, Breaking the Formation

The arena floor shook violently! Ten enormous grayish-brown rock walls, each eight meters high and three feet thick, their surfaces etched with ancient mountain patterns, thundered up from the ground behind the ten fighters! These walls were even more majestic and imposing than the ones from the earlier five-versus-five battle, and the Soul Power they radiated was like that of slumbering prehistoric beasts.

That was not all! The ten rock walls were not isolated; countless earth-yellow Soul Power chains as thick as arms, condensed almost into solid form, crisscrossed between them, forming an enormous three-dimensional spherical defensive net that completely enveloped the center of the arena! Within the net, gravity was clearly abnormal, the air itself seemed viscous, and a heavy aura of "suppression," "confinement," and "imperviousness to all techniques" spread through the space!

This was the Thick Earth Sect's ultimate defensive grand formation—the complete Ten-Directional Mountain Suppression Formation! Gathering the strength of ten earth-element Soul Masters, it connected with the earth veins and used the form of mountains and the solidity of the land to construct an absolute defensive domain. At its peak, this formation could withstand the frenzied assault of several High-Rank Soul Sages without budging!

Yet at this moment, all ten people maintaining the formation were seriously injured, with less than half their Soul Power remaining. Though the formation had barely taken shape, the patterns on the rock walls were somewhat blurred, the Soul Power chains flickered unsteadily, and even its aura of suppressing heaven and earth seemed hollow. It was like a colossal cauldron covered in cracks—its outward form remained, but its insides were riddled with holes.

Even so, when this incomplete Ten-Directional Mountain Suppression Formation truly rose upon the arena, it still delivered an indescribable visual and emotional shock! Waves of gasps rose from the
