Retreat, the Blood-Colored Barrier
Just as Li Yunjing was pondering, a roar that shook the entire Black Wind Cliff erupted from the deepest part of the cliff.
This commotion immediately caught Li Yunjing's attention.
He quickly formed a hand Method Formula to activate the array on the Extreme Crossing Boat and looked around.
Through the array, Li Yunjing saw a dark shadow slowly rising from the bottom of the cliff, about to break through the mist that shrouded the bottom of the cliff.
The next moment, a bear suddenly charged out.
Like other Demon Beast, the bear bared its teeth and roared, but its eyes were lifeless.
This is very strange; it looks disjointed.
After the bear appeared, it did not pounce on the flying boat. Instead, it slammed its claws into its own chest, spewing out nine mouthfuls of its life Essence Blood, which all crashed onto the rock wall beneath its feet.
In an instant, the entire area within a thousand feet of Black Wind Cliff shook violently!
The dark red patterns that had spread across the cliff face for countless millennia suddenly lit up, and a thunderous roar came from the depths of the earth.
Thick, almost tangible Yao Qi surged from the bottom of the cliff, instantly forming an impenetrable crimson barrier that completely sealed off the entire Black Wind Cliff.
Vast swirling crimson mist surged forth from all directions.
Li Yunjing's expression changed drastically. He felt that the formation of the flying boat was instantly interfered with by a strange force. Half of the thirty-six Profound Thunder Cannon were silenced, and the remaining cannons had dimmed spiritual light and their power was reduced by 70%.
What alarmed him even more was that the Demon Beast he had just blasted into serious injury could instantly recover as long as their bodies were still intact and they came into contact with the blood mist, their Yao Qi even stronger than before.
At this moment, Fang Hexuan's expression changed drastically.
The crimson barrier formed so quickly that he couldn't even react!
He could also clearly feel that his connection with the Principle of heaven and earth had been forcibly severed by this strange formation!
The reason why the Dao Integration Realm is superior to the Nascent Spirit Transformation is that it is integrated with the Principle of heaven and earth. With a single thought, it can mobilize the Power of Principle, overturn rivers and seas, and make its words law.
But this barrier completely sealed off the Principle heaven and earth within this space!
His cultivation at the Dao Union Realm was suppressed to the limit of the Spirit Transformation Perfection, and he couldn't even activate the most basic Principle Divine Ability. Of his extraordinary abilities, he couldn't unleash 70% of his full potential.
Fang Hexuan informed Li Yunjing about this matter.
Upon hearing this, an unprecedented solemnity appeared on Li Yunjing's face.
"The Great Wilderness is indeed the Great Wilderness; it cannot be treated with the same attitude as it would be within the Five Provinces," Li Yunjing said.
At this point, Li Yunjing began to consider retreating.
This barrier is strange; it shouldn't be touched directly.
Moreover, the intelligence that Li Yunjing had previously collected was also rendered useless.
Things were spiraling out of control, Li Yunjing, in order to ensure safety, naturally couldn't force the issue.
But just as he was about to announce the retreat, Fang Hexuan snorted coldly, gathered his last bit of spiritual power at his fingertips, and pointed it fiercely at the blood-red barrier.
He intended to forcefully tear apart the great formation with his Dao Union origin, but as soon as his fingertips touched the barrier, an inexplicable force suddenly exploded, backfiring along with his spiritual power!
With a muffled thud, Fang Hexuan staggered back a step, his breathing disordered and his face paler.
"Grandmaster Fang!" Li Yunjing exclaimed in surprise.
Fang Hexuan reached out his hand. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
After a quick adjustment of his breathing, Fang Hexuan recovered completely.
At this moment, Fang Hexuan told Li Yunjing,
This grand formation is completely integrated with the Black Wind Cliff's earth veins. Forcibly breaking the formation would mean colliding with the earth vein power within a radius of a thousand miles. Even if he were at the Dao Integration Realm, he wouldn't be able to withstand it and would only damage his own Dao foundation.
At this moment, Li Yunjing also remembered that Black Wind Cliff was a node of the Northern Dark Earth Vein!
In that very instant, the situation completely reversed.
With the help of the earth's veins, the bear's Yao Qi energy surged to its limit, and its massive body transformed into a black shadow, rushing straight towards the Extreme Crossing Boat where Li Yunjing was located.
With the blessing of the earth's vein power, the aura it released was comparable to that of Spirit Condensation Perfection, and its physical body also became incomparably powerful.
Upon seeing this, Fang Hexuan leaped out of the Extreme Crossing Boat and engaged the bear in battle.
At first, Fang Hexuan was able to use his superior strength to force the bear to retreat.
But the bear was fearless and, after being injured, the blood-red mist swirled around it, and the bear instantly recovered its full health!
Fang Hexuan grew weaker and weaker as the fight progressed. His spiritual power was being eroded by the blood-red mist, and with the balance of power shifting, Fang Hexuan quickly found himself at a disadvantage.
Li Yunjing's side is now in even greater crisis.
The power of the Profound Thunder Cannon has been greatly reduced, and it can no longer kill the enemy with a single shot. Even if the lightning that is fired shatters half of the Demon Beast's body, the monster can instantly recover by using the earth's Yao Qi, making it impossible to kill them all.
Meanwhile, the other formations on the Extreme Crossing Boat were also unable to be activated due to interference from some unknown force.
At this moment, eight Spirit Concentration Realm Demon Beast burst out from the cliff and, with the help of the barrier, frantically pounced on the two Extreme Crossing Boat.
In an instant, iron claws, venomous fangs, and sorcery slammed into the airship's protective shield, causing it to crack incessantly.
The crimson mist seeped in through the gaps in the protective shield, frantically eroding the core array patterns of the airship. The propulsion array at the stern was corroded by the poisonous saliva, causing the airship's speed to plummet and losing its previous unstoppable momentum.
Li Yunjing immediately ordered the two Extreme Crossing Boat to put all their energy sources into the furnace.
Ensure the Extreme Crossing Boat's energy supply is never depleted.
"Yunjing, retreat!"
At this moment, Fang Hexuan was once again forced back by Xiong Pi's palm strike, his Qi and Blood flowing in reverse. He shouted in a deep voice, "This great formation is based on the earth's veins. We have no advantage in this realm. If we continue fighting, we will only perish here!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing naturally considered retreating.
But the barrier has already enveloped Black Wind Cliff, how can we retreat?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Li Yunjing.
The barrier of Black Wind Cliff borrows the power of the earth's veins, which should be the power of the Northern Dark Earth Vein.
I possess the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal, which should be effective.
With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing disregarded everything else and quickly activated the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal.
As soon as the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal appeared, a deafening roar erupted throughout the world.
It was like a thunderclap from the heavens, so loud it nearly deafened people.
Li Yunjing was just about to manipulate the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal to try and communicate with the Northern Dark Earth Vein.
Suddenly, the barrier that enveloped Black Wind Cliff collapsed in an instant.
The Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal also went silent, remaining motionless no matter how Li Yunjing tried to activate it.
"Run!"
Upon seeing the barrier collapse, Fang Hexuan immediately shouted.
With the barrier collapsing, he regained his strength at the Dao Integration Realm.
But Fang Hexuan could see clearly that the barrier would only collapse in a short time.
It is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Li Yunjing put away the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal and hurriedly ordered the two Extreme Crossing Boat to retreat.
The two Extreme Crossing Boat sped off at full power, shaking off the eight Spirit Concentration demonic Demon Beast that were trying to encircle them, and transformed into streaks of light as they rushed out of the barrier's range.
Fang Hexuan followed closely behind, and before leaving, he slapped the bear with his palm.
Divine Firmament Divine Lightning exploded out, coalescing into a gigantic hand that descended upon the bear.
In an instant, half of the bear's body was shattered by the Divine Firmament Divine Lightning.
Fang Hexuan didn't linger and quickly left.
He failed to notice that once the barrier was formed, the bear, under the influence of the blood-red mist, returned to its original state.
On the Extreme Crossing Boat, Li Yunjing was somewhat annoyed; the attack on Black Wind Cliff had failed this time.
At this moment, Mo Xuan came to the deck and found Li Yunjing. He said in a heavy tone, "Senior brother, something bad has happened. The core of almost all the formations on the Extreme Crossing Boat has been blocked, and they can no longer be used."
