Chapter 369: Third Grade Grand Formation, Violent Thunder Raging Waves

Violent Thunder Raging Waves!

Third Grade thunder-type grand formation!

This was a killing formation improved continuously by Min Longyu after that night, absorbing lessons and learning from pain.

This formation is not a dead formation, but a living formation!

Just like the formation name, violent thunder raging waves, lightning torrents.

Once this formation erupts, even a Core Formation Venerable must avoid its edge.

If one is deeply trapped in it, it is not impossible to be blasted into slag.

However, the conditions for setting up this formation are extremely harsh.

First, there must be a magic treasure-level formation disk as the core, supplemented by many thunder-type materials.

Second, one must accumulate a large amount of thunder force as a primer, so as to connect to the violent thunder like a torrent.

Finally, if one wants to stimulate the power of this formation to the limit, it must be in an environment rich in thunder force.

Otherwise, the power that can be erupted is not as good as an ordinary Second Grade killing formation.

Rather than saying this is a Third Grade offensive grand formation, it is better to say it is a thunder-drawing formation.

Unlike great sects drawing thunder to cultivate special spirit wood and mineral materials.

That kind of drawing requires relatively gentle, relatively rare thunder.

And the Violent Thunder Raging Waves grand formation draws a massive, huge thunder torrent capable of destroying everything!

Just in case.

Luo Chen had just stood firm when he buried the Zhouyou Eighteen Formation Disk in the lightning-struck wood forest.

Then he took out small flags of various colors and inserted them according to the specific Five Elements and Eight Trigrams orientation.

Furthermore, in many positions, they had set up the materials that Min Longyu had previously given instructions for.

Red Thunder Iron, Firefly Powder, Thunder-Drawing Wood...

This move of his attracted many curious gazes from the Luo Tian Society cultivators.

But seeing that Luo Chen was setting up a formation, no one dared to disturb him.

It must be Elder Min Longyu's backup plan!

The only thing that surprised everyone was that the President was also so natural in setting up formations?

It was as if he had been immersed in this path for a long time!

Natural?

After putting 100 mid-grade spirit stones into the groove of a thunder-drawing platform Luo Chen had carved out.

It announced the completion of the formation.

To be honest, Luo Chen was also somewhat surprised that he didn't encounter any difficulties from beginning to end while setting up this Third Grade grand formation himself.

Looking at the wisps of lightning arcs in the center of the formation, swimming towards the Zhouyou Eighteen Formation Disk.

Luo Chen rubbed his chin.

It is estimated that this formation is very simple!

It seems Third Grade, but it actually doesn't depend on the power of the formation itself, but on the strength of the surrounding environment.

"The longer the time, the more thunder force accumulated, the thicker this primer, and the more thunder that can be drawn by then."

"In this way, besides spirit stones to replenish the thunder-drawing consumption, I just need to wait."

Relieved.

Luo Chen looked around; Duan Feng had already arranged for people to patrol.

In the future, it is estimated that for a long time, he could only stay in this place where birds don't lay eggs.

However, there shouldn't be too many battles.

After all, there are many people in front holding it up.

Just like Luo Chen expected.

The days of guarding the Sixth Mountain were fierce and exciting for other vassal forces, but for the Luo Tian Society, it was quite peaceful.

More than a month passed.

In front of the Sixth Mountain, news of the Sword Sect Alliance sending people to attack came from time to time.

The intensity of the war was almost no less than the battle of breaking the Seventh Mountain before!

Everyone knows that once the Sixth Mountain is lost, the Four Sect Alliance will only have the Fifth Mountain left, and by then the Falling Cloud Sect side will have no retreat.

Therefore, the resistance of the Four Sect Alliance is also extremely fierce.

Every battle is a bloody defense.

In this kind of war, countless cultivators fell, and naturally there would be many surviving cultivators who became famous.

Like the Dao name of Min Longyu, Lei Zhenzi, it emerged one after another.

You praise me, I praise you, everyone is happy!

But this kind of Dao name obtained on the battlefield comes fast and goes fast.

Not to mention whether they fall or not, just whether it can spread in the future is another matter.

Luo Chen also went to the front line to watch a large-scale battle.

At that time, spiritual energy was like a rainstorm, pouring down, sword light like weaving, brilliant and vertical.

All kinds of magic tools and treasures, talismans and spells, were being unleashed and colliding to their hearts' content.

Foundation Establishment true cultivators are the main force of combat, either driving magic tools to come and go, or accumulating magic treasure killing moves to blast the battle formation.

And those Qi Refining cultivators who seemingly couldn't participate in the Foundation Establishment stage struggle burst out with combat power that made people look sideways.

Many Qi Refining cultivators aggregated into groups, releasing lethal spells under the command of the Four Sect true disciples.

One or two are not to be feared.

But when the quantity is large, even Foundation Establishment true cultivators find it hard to resist their edge.

Just like what the Green Elixir Valley Core Formation Venerable said back then, today's cultivation world, cultivators have walked on a wrong path, all of them have attack greater than defense.

Powerful attack magic treasures are everywhere.

Excellent defensive magic treasures are hard to find.

Under these circumstances, Foundation Establishment true cultivators seem powerful, but they are still full of the risk of being surrounded and killed by low-grade cultivators.

Compared to the life-and-death struggle of these vassal forces.

The Luo Tian Society side is simply called years of peace!

Except for a support battle under Tantai Jin's call, they almost didn't participate in any battles.

Such a situation made some Qi Refining cultivators of the Luo Tian Society who wanted to make contributions impatient.

But for Luo Chen, Duan Feng, and Xu Huanzhen, the three Foundation Establishment true cultivators, they wished this would continue until the war ended.

Merit?

No matter how great the merit, it can't compare to keeping the green hills!

Unless, the Four Sect Alliance can give them a way to step onto a higher mountain peak.

Otherwise, just staying quietly in the rear is the best.

Perhaps, the only thing that makes everyone uncomfortable is that the spiritual energy where the Nine Mountains of Accumulated Thunder are located is very thin!

Not suitable for normal cultivators to cultivate!

Actually, it's not that the spiritual energy is thin, but the Five Elements spiritual energy is too scarce.

Between heaven and earth, it is filled with massive thunder-type spiritual energy; unless one is a powerful cultivator with thunder spiritual roots, one cannot cultivate in this place at all.

Moreover, even for thunder spiritual root cultivators, facing the spiritual energy leaked from this heaven and earth might, they dare not absorb it easily.

Too irritable and messy, requiring a long time to refine.

Cannot cultivate, doesn't mean one cannot practice.

Luo Chen has not stopped practicing for a month.

He has been working on opening apertures using Earth Fire Fiend Qi.

In one month, he successively opened more than 50 apertures.

After getting started, the further he went, the more skilled Luo Chen became, almost able to open two apertures a day.

Such progress, even if Wang Yuan heard it, would be jaw-dropping.

But Luo Chen was not surprised; aperture opening is different from the cultivation of other small levels in the Blood River Realm.

Organ refining requires accumulation over time, tempering the five organs bit by bit, so that one can nourish the five qi in the chest!

Meridian connection requires great opening and closing, like a river rushing, washing away small water channels, and wherever it passes, it is a vast ocean!

And aperture opening, what it emphasizes is fine work!

After all, compared to the five organs and meridians, apertures are too fragile, and one careless move can easily hurt oneself.

It's like threading a needle; the eyes must be good, and the gestures must be steady.

Luo Chen's eyes are especially good; his divine soul foundation is incomparably powerful, surpassing Wang Yuan by who knows how much.

His means of controlling Fiend Qi are also incomparably skilled because he has contacted Earth Fire Fiend Qi thousands of times while refining Blood-Burning Pills.

Now, it is just changing to a higher-grade Earth Fire Fiend.

After he became slightly skilled, his progress was naturally rapid.

"Perhaps, after finding Wang Yuan, I can give him this aperture-opening method I researched myself to accelerate his body-refining path."

"But his body refining is still ahead of me; maybe he has already opened 720 apertures, achieving the state of internal and external small cycle, my body aperture is heaven star."

Shaking his head, Luo Chen took out another Rock Floating Stone.

Just as he was about to extract Earth Fire Fiend Qi, he was stunned.

Gone!

Used up!

Coming back to his senses, Luo Chen couldn't help but be helpless.

He originally thought that these 100+ portions of Earth Fire Fiend Qi could be used for a long time, never expected them to be so un-durable.

It is estimated that it also has to do with his three wisps combined into one, forcibly rushing the aperture.

It's too wasteful.

Without Fiend Qi, how to rush the aperture?

The time on the Sixth Mountain, he couldn't waste it casually!

Practice spells?

Luo Chen's spells are almost all great perfection now.

For the few new ones he learned, except for the Third Grade spell Ten Thousand Li Travel, his demand is not very high.

Moreover, he has also explored Ten Thousand Li Travel to the perfect level, only a step away from the grandmaster level, and it is not suitable for practice in public.

"Aperture opening must continue!"

"The war on the front line is constant, and the Four Sect Alliance has inner disciples or true disciples falling from time to time, and the Yan Alliance side is also like this; their inheritance must have a large amount of Earth Fire Fiend Qi."

"Instead of waiting to buy after returning to the Golden Sand Floating Island, it is better to acquire it on the battlefield."

With his mind set, Luo Chen immediately summoned a Qi Refining cultivator, who was Bu Junjie who dared to stop Qu Zhenbiao before.

Let him go to the front line encampment to find people and ask.

If anyone has Second Grade Earth Fire Fiend Qi, he, Luo Chen, is willing to acquire it at a high price.

After Bu Junjie took the order and left, Luo Chen was bored, inspected the defensive line of the encampment, and came to the lightning-struck wood forest where the Zhouyou Eighteen Formation Disk was buried.

Looking at this patch of scorched and short wood forest, it is hard for outsiders to connect it with the precious Second Grade lightning-struck wood.

But the scene of lightning flashes from time to time on it shows that it is indeed Second Grade lightning-struck wood containing trace amounts of lightning!

Checking the formation disk, Luo Chen couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

In one month, it cost him 30,000 low-grade spirit stones and 200 mid-grade spirit stones; now the thunder light inside is full, and it has been charged more than half.

In another month or so, it will be in a state that can be stimulated at any time.

By then, everything is ready, and all that is missing is the environment.

Luo Chen replaced the large batch of spirit stones that had shattered into powder, replaced them with brand new spirit stones, and ensured that the formation could continue to operate.

When preparing to leave, a crisp sound came to his ears.

Crackle!

A lightning bolt fell from the sky and hit a First Grade lightning-struck wood.

Hit by the bombardment, the lightning-struck wood trembled heavily, and most of the branches on its body fell off.

"Didn't catch fire, it seems that after achieving First Grade, it already has a certain resistance!"

Luo Chen sighed with emotion, just about to leave.

But his footsteps subconsciously stopped.

A pair of spiritual eyes operated, staring dead at that lightning-struck wood.

After being bombarded by lightning, it seemed to have suffered heavy damage, but its main body became even tougher and more powerful.

The wandering heaven and earth spiritual energy around was slowly gathering towards it, and its grade was slowly transforming.

After this strike, it actually contributed to the key step of its upgrading to Second Grade!

"Thunder is the synonym for destruction, and also the omen of calamity."

"But everyone knows that thunder is also accompanied by the symbolic meaning of revival and life."

"Spring thunder sounds, all things grow... in the Five Elements, the East trigram is Zhen, Zhen is thunder, Five Elements belong to wood, so the Azure Dragon of the East Wood among the Twenty-Eight Mansions is also the star that governs the vitality of thunder."

"It is rumored that powerful ancient body refiners not only refine their bodies with Fiend Qi, but also have crazy moves to temper their physiques with thunder. The principle they use is the other attribute of thunder's destruction."

"I wonder, can I use thunder force?"

Standing in the lightning-struck wood forest, Luo Chen looked at that lightning-struck wood that was upgrading in a daze, falling into deep thought.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the night is deep and heavy.

Luo Chen is in the deep black wood forest, and from time to time silver-white lightning explodes, revealing his tall and straight figure.

Suddenly, Luo Chen's figure moved.

Under the gaze of Duan Feng and Xu Huanzhen in the distance, he reached out and touched a short lightning-struck wood.

Crackle!

Duan Feng's face changed slightly, "The President doesn't seem to know the thunder-conducting technique; facing thunder directly with his physique like this, I fear..."

Before the words fell, Luo Chen's figure had already stiffened.

Just stiffened for an instant, Luo Chen hesitated and raised his hand, looking at his fingertip.

A black dot stood impressively on the belly of his finger.

"Seems effective?"

In contemplation, he experimented several times as before.

After a long time, he walked back slowly.

"President, what's wrong?" Xu Huanzhen asked curiously.

Duan Feng had known Luo Chen for a long time and knew his temperament, so he opened his mouth and said: "Is the President trying to use the small amount of thunder force on the lightning-struck wood to do something?"

Luo Chen nodded.

"You casters seem to understand the thunder-conducting method?"

Duan Feng nodded, "Indeed, the casting path is broad and profound; the most common is fire melting gold and iron to cast, but there are also flesh and blood casting, soul-drawing and soul-stealing methods, and higher-level ones naturally involve using heaven and earth force to cast."

"It is rumored that powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, when crossing the Soul Transformation Thunder Tribulation, had the feat of borrowing tribulation thunder to cast true artifacts."

"We ordinary casters, although we don't know those means, also have corresponding auxiliary equipment to borrow heaven and earth thunder force."

Above magic tools and magic treasures are true artifacts.

True artifacts are not something ordinary cultivators can possess; even Nascent Soul Venerables are often hard to possess one.

This object, it must be obtained by one's own life-bound magic treasure promotion.

Moreover, it must be stained with a trace of tribulation thunder aura to be promoted from a high-grade magic treasure to a true artifact.

However, crossing the tribulation is already a life-and-death matter; who can use tribulation thunder to refine artifacts?

Therefore, many Nascent Soul Venerables and Soul Transformation great powers had the idea of using other methods to draw ordinary heaven thunder to temper their life-bound magic treasures.

Over time.

The techniques of these methods became mature, spreading from top to bottom bit by bit.

Finally, it formed ordinary casters who can use equipment to draw thunder force to refine artifacts without thunder spiritual roots.

"Do you have it?" Luo Chen asked.

Duan Feng nodded, "I have a thunder-drawing net on me, which I occasionally use to cast. The magic tool business has been unable to continue recently, but it is idle and useless, so I can give it to you."

Sometimes, plans are never as fast as changes.

The Luo Tian Society's intention to make spirit stones through the casting hall by taking advantage of the war, with Li Yingzhang seriously injured and Wang Yuan missing, also ended up with nothing.

Most importantly, this business on the Golden Sand Floating Island had already been done by others, and it was not Duan Feng's turn, a mere ordinary caster.

He was still too young.

"Mm, thank you."

Taking a net emitting cyan and white colors from the other party's hand, Luo Chen returned to the stone house with a thoughtful look.

The next day.

Luo Chen appeared in the lightning-struck wood forest again.

This place was the place where the thunder force was most rich in their encampment.

As before, he tried to absorb thunder force with his body, but unfortunately, it only brought minor injuries.

"The quantity is too little!"

Luo Chen muttered, using the thunder-drawing net Duan Feng gave him.

Under the stimulation of spiritual power, silver-white lightning suddenly bloomed on several lightning-struck woods nearby, and then gathered towards Luo Chen along the iron net.

In an instant.

Luo Chen was hit hard, his whole body filled with electric light.

After a while, Luo Chen spat out a mouthful of turbid air, his body filled with a faint burnt meat fragrance.

Casting a healing spell, Luo Chen fell into deep thought again.

"Still doesn't work, I don't have thunder spiritual roots, I can't control thunder force at all."

"After a thunder strike, after healing, the physique is indeed a little stronger, but it is only a little bit."

"This kind of accumulation, consuming time, consuming spiritual energy, is completely not worth the loss."

Luo Chen was constantly evaluating his situation.

The so-called vitality contained in thunder and lightning is something he cannot involve at all at his level.

What can be used is only the most superficial things.

Borrowing thunder and lightning to temper the physique, and then using wood-attribute spiritual energy to perform medical skills, so that the flesh becomes stronger and stronger in repeated tempering and recovery.

But, it stops there.

"Pity, I thought I discovered some amazing body-refining method."

"Without thunder spiritual roots, I can't borrow the spiritual energy contained in thunder and lightning to stay in the meridians for a long time to temper the physique."

Sighing.

Luo Chen put away the thunder-drawing net.

Just as he was about to leave, Luo Chen suddenly moved.

"I don't have Earth Fire Fiend Qi on hand now, but the thunder here is mostly of the Wood attribute; what if I guide it into the body and use it to rush the aperture?"

"In 'Heavenly Peng Transformation', it was also mentioned that the most suitable for practicing this technique is to borrow the essence blood of three ancient wild beasts: Lei Peng, Golden-Winged Peng, and Heavenly Sun Peng."

"The latter two cultivation techniques are incomplete, but after the Lei Peng essence blood enters the body, there is a relatively detailed development method."

"My aperture-opening method has inspiration from 'Heavenly Peng Transformation'; if I change it slightly..."

Luo Chen licked his lips, looking expectantly at this patch of lightning-struck wood forest nearby.

This place is completely a treasure land for him!

The preciousness is not in the materials, but in the inexhaustible and not violent accumulated thunder force.
