The broken and somewhat mottled pattern beneath Bai Mo's feet, which seemed unremarkable to the naked eye, was clearly visible to Xie Feng's Double Pupils.
Formation Inscriptions!
Xie Feng recognized the origin of the pattern at a glance!
He was an expert in Formation, so he was naturally familiar with the origins of these Formation patterns, which differed from ordinary random scribbles.
Xie Feng moved his Double Pupils to the side and discovered that, centered on Bai Mo, inscriptions were scattered throughout an area extending at least seven hundred miles in all directions!
This is...
Xie Feng's eyes flickered slightly. "Great Array!"
Based on the accumulated knowledge from relevant sources, he can confidently conclude that this is the Nine Spirits Nether-Gathering Formation has existed for at least several million years!
They are circular in shape and contain a total of eighty-one inscriptions arranged in a special order. The patterns have become somewhat blurred due to the erosion of time.
Bai Mo accidentally stepped on a crucial inscription, thus disturbing the ancient formation.
A fierce aura emanated from the Formation, instantly enveloping the southern battlefield. The air was filled with the resentment and anger of the dead, creating an immense sense of oppression.
"This is the Nine Spirits Nether-Gathering Formation. According to historical records, this formation is generally not man-made, but rather originates from various negative energies, and it is most likely to appear on the battlefield!"
Xie Feng raised his eyes, gazing at the vast battlefield and the faintly glowing array, and spoke in a deep voice.
"On the battlefield, swords and blades are merciless; it is a place teeming with blood, corpses, and the ravages of war. In particular, the aura of the dead accumulates over time, eventually forming such Formation."
As he spoke, Xie Feng looked at it more closely, and this time, he discovered something unusual about the inscription!
"Do you see that? Beneath each inscription lies an evil spirit! They're trying to break free!"
Xie Feng said in a deep voice!
This time, Gu Yuan and Bai Mo saw it too!
A black evil spirit emerged from beneath Bai Mo's feet, its body shrouded in black poisonous mist, its claws and teeth sharp and terrifying.
The evil spirit opened its mouth, ready to bite Bai Mo's calf hard!
Seeing this, Xie Feng slightly concave his palm, and the Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire was born. The fire condensed into a long sword, Dao Sword whistled out, severing the evil spirit's head.
With a "whoosh" sound, a stream of purplish-black blood shot into the sky—the blood of an evil spirit!
Gu Yuan's eyes widened. "This thing bleeds?"
Xie Feng said, "They have existed for millions of years. Even if they haven't evolved sentience, they still have physical bodies, so it's normal for them to have flesh and blood."
Bai Mo stood firmly on the inscription, not daring to move an inch.
Xie Feng turned to the side, looked around, and with a flick of his green sleeve, the Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire roared up, rolling into a giant fireball that shot into the sky.
Xie Feng pointed his finger, and the fireball exploded silently, transforming into hundreds of fire swords that burst forth in the air.
This wasn't an ordinary explosion; it was purposeful!
The fiery swords fluttered down as if they had eyes, all landing on the locations of the inscriptions. For each of the eighty inscriptions, at least one fiery sword fell!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Pfft!
As the sounds rose and fell, the Supreme fire sword slew all the evil spirits.
At the same time!
The great formation lost its source of power, its light faded, and Dissipation like Smoke!
As the Formation dissipated, Bai Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief; he was finally able to move his numb right leg.
The evil spirit was killed, but the story wasn't over yet!
Their blood gathered on the ground, not seeping away or disappearing, but rather coalescing into a huge, crimson mass of water, which compressed, compressed, compressed...
Finally, it formed a smooth, red blood clot the size of a palm, which floated in front of Xie Feng.
"This is... the ultimate compression of evil spirit energy?" Xie Feng's eyes lit up, and he grinned. "A good thing!"
Gu Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "This kind of energy source is extremely rare! Moreover, it contains so much evil spirit energy. If one can refine it, one's cultivation will definitely take a giant leap forward!"
Xie Feng casually picked up a fire sword, divided the energy source into three equal parts, and gave them to Gu Yuan and Bai Mo respectively.
He laughed and said, "Everyone who sees this gets a share! Come on, one for each person!"
Gu Yuan took it, weighed it in his hand, and said excitedly, "So much energy! Thank you so much, Brother Xie!"
Bai Mo held the energy source, stunned for a moment. He awkwardly tried to return it, saying, "I... I didn't make any contribution. I can't accept something for nothing..."
He was completely stunned!
Under Lord Lu Yinjian, such treasures are distributed according to contribution. Now that he hasn't killed the evil spirit, why is he entitled to a share?
Moreover, it's a share equal to that of Gu Yuan and Xie Feng!
Although their Devil Race doesn't have many pedantic rules, the principle of the strong taking more still applies!
Xie Feng smiled and said, "We're friends, why be so formal? Take it!"
Bai Mo was somewhat moved.
Gu Yuan also laughed and said, " Bai Mo, following Brother Xie is definitely the right choice. He'll really give you anything good!"
Xie Feng chuckled and said, "That's not quite right. You should be following Brother Gu. Have you forgotten about the Golden Devil Emperor Silkworm Race cocoons?"
"Tsk, no wonder Brother Xie can thrive anywhere. With that humility and sweet talk, it's no wonder you've become such a powerful figure!"
Feeling something, Gu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Xie Feng had just finished using the Double Pupils Technique. Upon hearing this, he smiled modestly and said, "You flatter me!"
Having resolved the issue of the Formation, the three changed direction and headed deeper into the battlefield. They were all beings of astonishing cultivation, capable of appearing millions of miles away in the blink of an eye.
This battlefield is extremely vast and boundless. If an ordinary person were to come here, it would probably take three lifetimes to barely escape.
Their silhouettes flickered in the thick fog of the battlefield, like three mysterious guests of the night.
As they continued walking, Gu Yuan, who was at the front, stopped. He frowned, made a gesture to stop them, and said solemnly, "Wait! Don't go any further!"
Seeing this, Xie Feng raised his head and raised an eyebrow when he saw what was happening in front of him.
Before them appeared a huge puddle! The water was pitch black, even darker than night, and any light that shone into it was completely absorbed.
The water surface rippled slightly, seemingly calm, yet there seemed to be an undercurrent of turbulence.
On the shore, there are a few stones scattered in the shape of "pin", like random creations of nature.
Gu Yuan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, exclaiming in surprise, "This is..."
Xie Feng arrived at the edge of the puddle. The vastness of the puddle contrasted sharply with him, making him appear as insignificant as a drop in the ocean as he stood on the bank...
Xie Feng's gaze shifted, fixing on the puddle, and he said, "Clear water is shallow, green water is deep, and black water is an abyss. This is an abyss!"
Gu Yuan scratched his head. "How could that be! We didn't find any of these things when we were fighting here before!"
Xie Feng said, "The war is so large, it's understandable that you didn't know."
Gu Yuan nodded. "I understand!"
