Chapter 656: 0657 Breaking the Formation (First Update)

Mo Ye, Zhan Xiao, Li Ren, and Xiang Da stood in front of the Formation, and after informing Ye Qiu of the details of breaking through the Formation, the five of them took a step forward and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"They’ve gone in..." said the people left outside.

"Look, the Formation is moving!" someone pointed inside the Formation where it seemed like flames were shooting into the sky, a sight truly fearsome to behold.

Boom, boom, boom...

The Formation trembled as if it would collapse at any moment, but that wasn’t the case. Inside, the attack mechanisms had been activated, launching relentless assaults on the five.

As soon as the five entered the Formation, a fire dragon shot out before them, seeking to devour them.

Mo Ye immediately threw a punch, fierce and ruthless, shattering it in one strike.

However, Mo Ye didn’t show any sign of relaxation and immediately warned Ye Qiu and the others, "Everyone, be careful around us, more fire dragons are coming!"

No sooner had Mo Ye spoken, dozens of fiery dragon pillars surged crazily towards them, the flames forming dragons, imbued with extraordinary power. If one were alone against this attack, they would surely lose the confidence to continue, but now, there were five of them, and none were weak.

Zhan Xiao, Li Ren, and Xiang Da each took action, choosing a direction, channeling the power in their bodies, continuously resisting the fire dragons.

After these fire dragons were extinguished, more came one after the other, seemingly endless.

Ye Qiu’s understanding of the Formation was minimal; he had once sought advice from Qian Zhen Daoist on the key points of Formation, knew that the Formation drew power from nature, activated by its core using the Formation’s focal points, and then crafted into an environment by the Formation Master laying down various offensive measures.

Strictly speaking, without considerable expertise, one could not set up a Formation.

This indicated that the Great Emperor level powerhouse was also a master of Formation.

As Mo Ye and the others continuously battled the fire dragons, Ye Qiu looked around, trying to figure out a way through the Formation. One method was to use sheer strength to endure all the attacks within the Formation, thereby forcefully breaking through—a rather foolish method, which, even if successful, would deplete much of one’s power.

Mo Ye and the others, having frequently been hindered and forced to retreat from the Formation before, rested immediately after exiting to recover, precisely because they couldn’t break through forcibly.

Ye Qiu did not want to use this foolish method. Though he wasn’t very knowledgeable about Formations, he knew one thing: if one could break the Formation’s focal point, the entire Formation would naturally collapse.

Where was the focal point? This might be hard to guess for others, but not for Ye Qiu, who possessed penetrating vision.

His penetrating vision gradually activated, seeing through all deceits, searching for the central point of the entire Formation.

"Why isn’t this brother attacking? What is he looking at?"

"Why do I feel like we’re going to be screwed by this guy? He’s not even contributing!"

Li Ren and Xiang Da saw Ye Qiu still looking around everywhere and immediately felt speechless, both chiding him.

Zhan Xiao and Mo Ye, taking the brunt of the fire dragon attacks and having their strength greatly depleted, couldn’t help but get distracted and look at Ye Qiu.

Well... it really seemed so!

"Brother Ye, why aren’t you taking action..." Mo Ye asked, if Ye Qiu kept his strength and did not act, just relying on the four of them would result in them ending up just as they had before.

Dark flame power swirled in Ye Qiu’s eyes like ripples on water, spreading throughout the Formation. Hearing their complaints, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Just hold on a bit longer, gentlemen, I think we’ll soon be through this Formation!"

Seeing Ye Qiu’s confident expression, Mo Ye was stunned. He didn’t know where Ye Qiu’s confidence came from, what he intended to do, or if it was even possible to pass through the Formation without acting.

Li Ren and Xiang Da were infuriated by Ye Qiu’s casual remarks at such a critical moment, "Maniac, I think this guy’s a maniac. Why did I ever trust him?"

"Exactly, if I had known it would be like this, I might as well have trained a bit longer and gathered more strength."

Li Ren and Xiang Da sighed in frustration, but at this point, they were like ducks being pushed onto a perch, giving up now would be too wasteful, and otherwise the time previously spent would be truly wasted. If they delayed any longer, the Emperor Level powerhouse’s opportunity might really fall into the hands of Ji Lingchen and others.

Every descendant of the ancient tribes who entered the Great Emperor’s tomb wished to find fortune to strengthen their ancient tribe. If the three outstanding talents obtained the strongest inheritance, those who failed to find such fortune, and their tribes, would be left behind forever, trampled underfoot by the three great tribes, and forced to live in their shadow!

Tricked by Ye Qiu, neither Mo Ye nor Zhan Xiao looked very good.

Ye Qiu instantly rushed away from the four, dodging a fire dragon by a hair’s breadth with a swift movement.

"What is he trying to do, find his own death?" Li Ren said.

"He should know that we cannot afford to spread out recklessly, or it will be very dangerous." Mo Ye murmured, having previously warned Ye Qiu that splitting up in the Formation was very risky, yet Ye Qiu still did so.

"Clueless about death, damn it, we have been dragged into this mess by him!" Xiang Da cursed.

Ye Qiu did not exert any effort and even ran out of the battle formation; what was he trying to achieve?

Nobody knew; they just thought he had gone mad, and soon Ye Qiu had vanished from sight.

However, the attack of the fire dragon continued unabated.

"Gentlemen, perhaps we should retreat. My strength is nearly depleted, and I can’t hold on," Zhan Xiao said. He had annihilated no less than dozens of fire dragons, and the relentless attacks were a massive drain on him.

Xiang Da and Li Ren felt the same; they still had half their strength left, although they could hold on a while longer, but if Zhan Xiao’s side were breached, their energy would deplete quickly.

The few looked to Mo Ye for his opinion.

"Gentlemen, I was rash. Had I known it would turn out like this, I would not have invited this person to join hands with me to enter the Formation," Mo Ye expressed some self-blame since whether or not they could break through the Formation affected the probability of obtaining fortune—the later they broke through, the lower their chances.

Mo Ye’s words rendered everyone silent; who could have expected that Ye Qiu, who had led the weaker ones through the first challenge, would turn out to be such a liability, not lifting a finger and even breaking into the Formation himself.

"In that case, let’s withdraw from the Great Formation," Mo Ye said.

The group nodded, ready to retreat.

Just then, as the fire dragon about to attack was nearly upon them, they also prepared to slay several more fire dragons before withdrawing completely.

Whoosh!

The fire dragon disappeared mid-air.

The four men blinked in astonishment, what was happening?

With no fire dragon attacking, they only felt the surroundings gradually becoming clearer.

Gradually, they saw Ye Qiu not far away, smiling as he watched the four of them, and their images also gradually appeared to the people outside the Formation.

This...

"Am I seeing things? The Formation seems to have disappeared..." someone stepped forward, at a place that should have been within the bounds of the Formation, yet now they couldn’t feel its presence at all.

"Really? So we can delve deeper?" the eyes of those weaker descendants of the ancient tribes lit up—they had assumed that crossing the Formation would at least cost the lives of strong fighters like Mo Ye and Zhan Xiao, but as with the floating bridge earlier, they might be able to pass easily again.

Many turned their eyes towards Ye Qiu; could it be his doing again?

As for the most shocked, they were Mo Ye, Zhan Xiao, Li Ren, and Xiang Da.

"Could it be he broke the Formation?" Only then did they realize Ye Qiu’s earlier actions had been in preparation for breaking the Formation.

Thinking back to their earlier conversations, the four felt a burning sensation on their faces.

They had misunderstood Ye Qiu!
