When the Main Flag suddenly blazed with light, Qing Chen narrowed his eyes and glanced toward the formation's center. Cao Banxian's back was already soaked.
As the flag fluttered, black-purple mist climbed its pole, gradually coalescing into a blurry shadow.
These two are no simple characters, Qing Chen thought.
He tried probing Cao Banxian and Xu the Monster with his spiritual sense as they poured in their magical power with all their might, and noticed something unusual.
Just then, the mist within the formation suddenly solidified with a hum!
The Spider-Mantis Shadow finally manifested, a ferocious giant beast formed jointly by the seven formation flags and everyone's tremendous magical power.
Its enormous body measured over ten feet, wreathed in endlessly roiling black-purple mist that exuded a heart-pounding pressure.
The spider shadow's eyes were blood-red, flashing with a cold, bloodthirsty gleam. Its enormous mouth gaped wide, fully exposing its sharp fangs.
Powerful fluctuations of magical power surged through its body, comparable to those of a cultivator at peak Qi Refining.
"Go!"
The instant Cao Banxian's shout fell, the Spider-Mantis Shadow lunged forward. Its eight spiked legs gouged deep furrows into the ground as it moved as swiftly as a black wind.
Its foreclaws struck the cracks in the ward first. With a crack, the fissures that had still been slowly healing were instantly torn half a foot wider!
The ward's pale blue-green spiritual light fell like shattered glass, dissipating within seconds of hitting the ground.
Qing Chen saw it clearly: when fragments of the ward clung to the Spider-Mantis Shadow's claws, the black-purple mist suddenly thickened a little, as though absorbing their spiritual light.
How was this anything like a "Seven-Star Spirit-Building Formation"?
He quietly nudged Su Zixuan's arm. She immediately understood and pressed her hand against her Sub-Flag as well.
