The second version of the Plague Formation took two days to take shape.
This time, it was far more complex.
The first layer still identified West Qi's military fiend aura.
The second layer began sensing Jade Clarity dharma power and specific primordial spirit signatures.

That habit was actually frightening.
Because before the enemy even discovered many of the flaws,
they had already patched them themselves.
By the time the second version
