Ten People, Not One of Them Was Allowed to Die

After the Twelve Golden Immortals joined forces to enter the formation for the first time.

West Qi fell silent for two days.

No one thought the matter was over.

Quite the contrary.

The quieter it became.

The more it showed that the other side was preparing a truly forceful method of breaking through.

Lin Yuan had scarcely left the Ten Ultimate Formation these past two days.

Bai Li, Yao Bin, Wang Bian, and Zhang Shao had not yet completely passed their death tribulations.

Naturally, he could not call it a day now.

"Junior Brother."

Qin Wan handed him a formation flag.

"I'll leave the central coordination to you."

Lin Yuan froze.

"Me?"

"These past few days, the one truly controlling all ten formations and borrowing their power at once has always been you."

Qin Wan smiled.

"When it comes to individual formations, you still fall far short of us."

"But when it comes to this Ten Ultimate Linked Formation..."

"You understand better than we do when power should be sent where."

The others had no objections either.

Lin Yuan did not decline.

The formation flag fell into his hand.

The qi mechanisms of all ten great formations entered his divine sense at once.

This feeling was utterly different from before.

Previously, he had been like someone directing traffic from an intersection.

Now, he had truly taken a seat in the control room.

Where spiritual power was excessive.

Where formation lines were damaged.

Which place was most dangerous.

Everything was clear at a glance.

At noon on the third day.

West Qi launched another fierce assault.

This time, they did not even bother probing.

The Twelve Golden Immortals entered simultaneously.

And from the very beginning, they locked onto four formations.

The Blazing Flame Formation.

The Soul-Sundering Formation.

The Red Water Formation.

The Red Sand Formation.

They were precisely where Bai Li, Yao Bin, Wang Bian, and Zhang Shao were stationed.

"They've found their targets."

Lin Yuan's expression darkened.

The formation-testing of the past few days had clearly not been for nothing.

Though the other side did not know about the system's so-called Death Nodes, repeated clashes had allowed them to determine which formations were currently most likely to become points of breakthrough.

"Nine formations, lend your power!"

Lin Yuan swept his formation flag.

Boom!

The Ten Ultimate Linked Formation fully activated.

The Blazing Flame Formation, where Bai Li was located, suffered the first fierce assault.

Two streams of Jade Clarity Immortal Light descended at the same time.

The entire formation began to shake in an instant.

"Senior Brother Bai!"

"Withdraw the southeastern formation position!"

Bai Li immediately did as he was told.

The main formation position shifted.

Most of the two attacks missed their mark.

Lin Yuan did not continue making him endure head-on.

"Retreat half a formation!"

The Blazing Flame Formation actively contracted.

The Golden Light Formation and Earth Inferno Formation simultaneously supplied power.

The two Explanatory Sect Golden Immortals who had been preparing to kill Bai Li by force were instantly compelled to face the crossfire of three formations.

Bai Li successfully escaped the most dangerous area.

A system notification rang within Lin Yuan's mind.

[ Bai Li's predetermined Death Node has changed. ]

[ Fate Reversal successful! ]

New insights into the Dao of formations merged into him.

Lin Yuan turned his formation flag.

There was not a moment's pause.

Because danger had already arrived elsewhere.

Yao Bin's Soul-Sundering Formation!

This time, the enemy had clearly prepared magical treasures specifically meant to protect the Primordial Spirit.

The Soul-Sundering Formation's most crucial killing method was greatly weakened.

One Explanatory Sect Golden Immortal even charged directly toward Yao Bin through the formation.

"Junior Brother Lin!"

Yao Bin called out on his own initiative.

After these days.

The Ten Heavenly Lords had long since formed a habit.

If they could not hold on, they called for help.

There was nothing shameful about it.

Lin Yuan flipped his formation flag.

"Ice Formation, lend your power to Soul-Sundering!"

"Wind Roar Formation, seal the left route!"

"Senior Brother Yao, don't defend the core!"

"Switch directly!"

Yao Bin did not hesitate in the slightest.

He even abandoned a core formation position he had managed for many days.

He left first.

Boom!

The next moment.

That formation position was smashed to pieces by a Jade Clarity magical treasure.

But Yao Bin had already appeared on the other side.

The Soul-Sundering Formation re-formed with the aid of the Ice Formation's chill.

The Death Node was once more staggered aside.

[ Fate Reversal successful! ]

The eighth one!

Lin Yuan did not cheer inwardly.

Two remained.

Wang Bian.

Zhang Shao.

And the sense of danger around these two had grown so powerful that it nearly made his Innate Spiritual Perception ache.

"They're going all out."

Lin Yuan raised his head.

The Twelve Golden Immortals had clearly realized that their two consecutive forced-kill attempts had both been evaded through repositioning.

This time, they stopped pursuing people.

They began destroying the formations directly!

Boom!

Formation lines in multiple areas of the ten great formations exploded at once.

Since the masters of the formations could run.

Then they would tear apart every place they could run to.

This move was simple.

And effective.

The first secondary formation position in Wang Bian's Red Water Formation collapsed.

The second was destroyed immediately afterward.

Zhang Shao's Red Sand Formation also began to tremble violently.

"There's nowhere left to switch to!"

Zhao Jiang's face changed.

Lin Yuan stared at the formation diagram.

Yet his mind was extraordinarily calm.

There truly was nowhere to switch through ordinary repositioning.

Then he would not reposition normally.

"Senior Brother Qin!"

"Clear out the Heaven-Absolute Formation!"

Qin Wan froze.

"What are you planning?"

"Borrow a position!"

Lin Yuan abruptly drove his formation flag into the ground.

"All the Ten Ultimate Formations have already been linked together."

"Who said someone from the Red Water Formation could only switch positions within the Red Water Formation?"

The Ten Heavenly Lords all froze at once.

The next instant.

Qin Wan was the first to laugh.

"Good!"

The core position of the Heaven-Absolute Formation was abruptly vacated.

Lin Yuan forcibly linked the Red Water Formation and the Heaven-Absolute Formation.

The qi mechanisms of two utterly different great formations collided!

Formation talismans throughout the area shook madly!

Had he done this ten-odd days ago, there was an eighty percent chance he would have blown himself up first.

But now, Lin Yuan had successively gained eight portions of formation Dao ability and forcibly suppressed it!

"Senior Brother Wang, go!"

Wang Bian stepped into the shifting formation lines, and his figure vanished.

In the next instant, he actually appeared directly within the Heaven-Absolute Formation!

The Explanatory Sect Golden Immortals' attacks crashed into the Red Water Formation, but their target was gone.

"They can even switch people across formations?!!"

This time, even Guangchengzi's expression changed.

When the Ten Ultimate Formations had first been set up, each of the ten formations fought on its own.

After fighting for so long, they had already been altered beyond recognition—now even the masters of the formations could visit one another?

Did this formation have no regard whatsoever for basic rules?

Wang Bian was safe.

The system sounded for the ninth time.

Only Zhang Shao remained!

At this moment, the Red Sand Formation had already reached the brink of collapse.

Several Jade Clarity attacks bore down at once.

Zhang Shao had nowhere he could retreat normally.

The Heaven-Absolute Formation had just taken Wang Bian away and could not receive anyone else for the time being.

Lin Yuan swept his gaze over the other formations.

"Earth Inferno Formation!"

Zhao Jiang answered at once.

"I'm here!"

"Can you clear out the core position?"

Zhao Jiang glanced at the Explanatory Sect Golden Immortal forcefully attacking before him.

He gritted his teeth.

"Yes!"

"Then get the hell out here!"

Lin Yuan suddenly swung his formation flag around.

Zhao Jiang nearly laughed in anger.

"Could you use a nicer tone when calling someone over?!"

His mouth cursed.

But his movements were not slow in the slightest.

The Earth Inferno Formation borrowed a surge of power to blast its opponent away.

Zhao Jiang himself withdrew from the main formation.

"Senior Brother Zhang!"

Lin Yuan had already begun linking the Red Sand Formation and the Earth Inferno Formation.

"Get ready to switch!"

Zhang Shao stomped fiercely onto the formation markings.

And the killing move from the other side had already arrived.

BOOM!

The core of the Red Sand Formation exploded completely!

Billowing red sand surged into the sky.

The entire formation instantly spiraled out of control.

Every heart on the Intercepting Sect's side rose into their throats.

Dust and smoke obscured their vision.

A moment later.

A violent bout of coughing suddenly came from within the Earth Inferno Formation.

"Cough, cough!"

"Junior Brother Lin!"

"Next time you switch people, can you tell me in advance where I'm going to land?!"

Zhang Shao crawled out of the Earth Inferno Formation, filthy and disheveled.

He had slammed headfirst into the edge of the formation platform where Zhao Jiang had originally been stationed.

A lump had even risen on his forehead.

When Lin Yuan saw him.

He finally smiled.

"As long as you're alive."

"Getting bumped around counts as a workplace injury."

Zhang Shao: "..."

[Target: Zhang Shao.]

[Preordained death trajectory completely severed.]

[Fate Reversal successful!]

The final system notification fell.

Lin Yuan's hand gripping the formation flag finally slowly loosened.

Ten.

Not a single one was missing.

They were all here.

But the Twelve Golden Immortals were still within the formations.

Lin Yuan raised his head.

Just now, his sole focus had been saving people.

Now that they had been rescued.

He looked toward the Ten Heavenly Lords, who had likewise come to their senses.

Qin Wan was the first to laugh.

"Junior Brother Lin."

"How do we fight next?"

Lin Yuan tightened his grip on the formation flag once more.

"Senior brothers and senior sisters."

"Just now, we've been running."

"Now..."

"It's their turn."
