In the shadow of the altar's ruined stele, Han Li pressed a Falling Star Iron Fragment into the center of the Star-Setting Disk.
The fragment resonated with the star patterns on the disk, projecting a three-dimensional formation diagram a hundred zhang underground-in a circular formation surrounded by Blood Magnetic Crystal Pillars, three pieces of falling star iron formed a triangle. A phantom Blood Magnetic Demon Banner floated in the center, and countless threads of blood-colored spiritual power connected to the earth veins of Magnetic Essence Mountain like a spiderweb.
"The Blood Magnetic Grand Formation draws on the earth veins through a Three Powers configuration. I need to sever all three pieces of falling star iron from the earth veins at once..." Han Li tapped the three pieces in the diagram with his fingertips. In his sea of consciousness, the effects of Spatial Awareness and Blood-Magnetic Detection intertwined, allowing him to deduce three weak points: beneath each piece of falling star iron lay a Blood Magnetic Spirit-Guiding Pattern drawn with star magnetic jade marrow powder, the hub through which spiritual power flowed.
[System notification: Key to breaking the formation-"Star Magnetic Spirit-Breaking Pattern." Use the harmonizing power of star magnetic jade marrow to erase all three spirit-guiding patterns simultaneously. Only one-third of the star magnetic jade marrow powder remains. Using the "Water-Magnetic Sword · Star Magnetic Lightning Attraction" effect to replace part of the spiritual power is recommended.]
Han Li drew the Water-Magnetic Sword. The Blood Magnetic Star Pattern on its blade grew hot as it sensed the formation diagram. He looked toward the Cloud-Chasing Guards keeping watch nearby. "Chen Feng, take ten men and guard the altar against Blood Magnetic Cult reinforcements. I'll go underground to break the formation. If anything happens, send up a Star Magnetic Signal Flare."
