Chapter 167: Lu Xueqi’s Worry
Afterward, Lu Xueqi no longer paid attention to the messages in the Ten Thousand Worlds Chat Group. Since she now knew the origin of this kind of demonic creature, she also understood its terror.
Such a demonic being was an existence capable of destroying a world.
Thinking of this, she looked at the lightning formation that kept flickering and was on the verge of collapse, and a sharp gleam flashed within her eyes.
In an instant, countless pieces of information flashed through her mind. Through her Heaven-Defying Comprehension, she directly grasped the profundities of the lightning formation. Not only that, she cast aside the old and derived the new, deducing an even more powerful sealing formation.
After comprehending the sealing formation, she looked at the array that was about to collapse, pondered for a brief moment, then directly formed hand seals. Following the formation incantations she had just comprehended through her Heaven-Defying Comprehension, she began to rearrange the formation.
Under the input of one hand seal after another and the infusion of lightning power from Lu Xueqi, the lightning formation that had originally been on the verge of collapse rapidly recovered. Strands of lightning power surged forth continuously, resisting the erosion of the black aura and crimson-black qi while gradually suppressing them.
The black aura and crimson-black qi that had seeped out also gradually decreased, and the surrounding environment began to grow clearer as a result.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi gave a slight nod, but she knew that this was still not enough.
She had merely repaired the original formation. Although it possessed powerful sealing force, it required a powerhouse who cultivated lightning power to regularly replenish it in order to maintain its operation.
Originally, the one guarding this formation had been Divine Beast Kui Niu, one of the Four Great Beasts. But now Divine Beast Kui Niu had already been captured by the Ghost King Sect.
Therefore, if one wished to maintain the long-term operation of this formation, another expert who cultivated lightning power would have to come and station here.
However, Lu Xueqi could not remain here permanently, and other powerhouses could not possibly live in the depths of the sea for long either.
Under such circumstances, the formation had to be rearranged anew.
After some deliberation, Lu Xueqi immediately began setting up the formation according to the new array she had comprehended in her mind, activating the All-Heavens Divine Thunder to construct it.
The original formation had only been arranged using ordinary lightning power. Though its might had been immense, its suppression of the crimson-black qi and black aura had not actually been very strong.
But now, Lu Xueqi used the newly comprehended formation together with the All-Heavens Divine Thunder to lay down the array.
In an instant, waves of terrifying power surged forth, and a massive metallic formation quietly took shape.
A hint of joy appeared on Lu Xueqi’s face. With a light tap of her jade finger, the golden formation that had just formed instantly pressed downward toward the silver formation below,
seeking to merge with the silver formation beneath and jointly suppress the strange power below.
The strange power below seemed to sense the terror of the golden formation above. Countless strands of black aura and crimson-black qi instantly began to boil.
“Dong dong ｀ dong”—the sound of impact continuously rang out. Within the formation below, it was as though some powerful demonic creature was constantly attacking the lightning formation,
causing the lower layer of lightning formation to tremble violently.
But Lu Xueqi did not pay the slightest attention.
Although the lightning formation below was relatively weaker, it was not something the sealed demonic being beneath could break through in a short time.
Otherwise, the demonic creature sealed below would have long since escaped.
Thus, under Lu Xueqi’s gaze, the golden formation ultimately overlapped with the silver formation in an instant.
In that moment, golden and silver light flashed incessantly. Waves of terrifying golden lightning and silver lightning roared as they blasted downward toward the endless pitch-black demonic aura and crimson-black qi.
Under the bombardment of the golden and silver lightning, the black aura and crimson-black qi below were instantly scattered.
As the crimson-black qi and black aura below were continuously suppressed, waves of roaring sounds rose from beneath.
These roars carried terrifying soundwaves, constantly surging toward Lu Xueqi in an attempt to destroy her consciousness.
But how powerful was Lu Xueqi’s Divine Sense at this moment!
When those soundwave forces swept past her mind, they were like a spring breeze brushing her face, causing her no harm whatsoever.
As time passed, under the unceasing bombardment of countless golden and silver lightning strikes, the roars below gradually weakened, and the black aura and crimson-black qi that had invaded the formation completely disappeared.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi nodded in satisfaction. After a brief moment of contemplation, she decided to set up a spirit-gathering formation above it to provide energy to the sealing formation below.
Without further hesitation, Lu Xueqi formed hand seals once more. One seal after another was cast out, continuously striking into the surrounding mountain body.
In an instant, massive runes appeared upon the surrounding mountain walls.
Soon, a vast formation quietly took shape.
After the formation was completed, dense dark clouds gathered across the sky. Countless strands of lightning power began to converge continuously, then transformed into lightning dragons that ceaselessly struck into the sea, continuously replenishing lightning power toward the formation.
Seeing this, Lu Xueqi nodded in satisfaction. After surveying the surroundings, her figure flashed, and she flew upward.
However, during her ascent, when she saw the sea beasts—now gradually regaining their senses because the source of the anomaly below had been sealed—fleeing in panic, a trace of solemnity flashed through her eyes.
After being eroded by the black aura and crimson-black qi during that period, these sea beasts had undergone tremendous mutations.
Most of them had already gained intelligence and even acquired the ability to cultivate.
If they were allowed to escape like this, it would likely cause considerable trouble in the future.
Yet with Lu Xueqi’s strength alone, how could she possibly eliminate the countless vast sea beast clans within the ocean?
Although she felt some concern for the future of the mainland, she was powerless for the moment.
Her figure flashed again, and she next appeared atop Flowing Wave Mountain.
At this time on Flowing Wave Mountain, as Lu Xueqi sealed the source of the anomaly below, the sea beasts above also gradually became fewer.
They no longer poured endlessly out of the sea and onto the land.
The enormous sea beasts that had originally been battling the Righteous Path now grew panicked as well and fled toward the depths of the sea.
But Lu Xueqi did not intend to let those sea beasts that had crawled onto land escape.
These sea beasts had been severely corrupted by the crimson light.
If they were all allowed to flee back into the sea, the disaster they might cause in the future would be even more terrifying.
Lu Xueqi formed hand seals, and all the spiritual power within her body surged forth, instantly drawing upon the lightning power within a radius of dozens of li.
In an instant, countless bolts of thunder exploded across Flowing Wave Mountain, transforming into vast seas of lightning that continuously blasted downward. Only the rumbling thunderclaps echoed without end…
