Chapter 369: Third-tier formation, Violent Thunder Raging Waves

~18 min read 3,417 words

Violent Thunder Raging Waves!

Third-tier thunder-type formation!

This is an offensive killing formation that Min Longyu continuously improved after learning from the experience and lessons of that night.

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

Just like the name of the formation, Violent Thunder Raging Waves, a torrent of thunderbolts.

Once this formation erupts, even a Jin Dan True Person must avoid its edge.

If one is 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 energy as a primer, so that it can connect to a torrent-like violent thunder.

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

Otherwise, the power it can erupt is not as good as an ordinary second-tier killing formation.

Rather than saying this is a set of third-tier offensive formations, it is better to say it is a thunder-drawing formation.

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

That kind of drawing requires relatively gentle thunder, and a relatively rare quantity.

And the Violent Thunder Raging Waves formation draws a massive, destructive torrent of thunder!

Just in case.

Luo Chen had just stood firm when he buried the Zhouyou Eighteen formation disks in the thunder-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.

He even arranged the materials Min Longyu had instructed earlier in many positions.

Red Thunder Iron, Flowing Fire Powder, Thunder-Drawing Wood...

His actions attracted many curious gazes from the Luotian Society cultivators.

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

They thought it must be a backup plan of Elder Min Longyu!

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 middle-grade spirit stones into the groove of a thunder-drawing platform Luo Chen had carved out.

The formation setup was declared complete.

To be honest, Luo Chen was also a bit surprised that he didn't encounter any difficulties from beginning to end when setting up this third-tier formation himself.

Looking at the wisps of lightning arcs in the center of the formation, swimming toward the Zhouyou Eighteen formation disks.

Luo Chen stroked his chin.

It is estimated that this formation is very simple!

It looks like third-tier, but it doesn't actually depend on the power of the formation itself, but on the strength of the surrounding environment.

"The longer the time, the more thunder energy is accumulated, the thicker this primer is, and the more thunder can be drawn at that time."

"In this way, except for replenishing the spirit stones consumed by the thunder-drawing, I just need to wait."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

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

In the future, it is estimated that he will only be able to stay in this godforsaken place for a long time.

However, there shouldn't be too many battles.

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

Just as Luo Chen expected.

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

For more than a month.

News of the Sword Sect alliance sending people to attack came from the front of the Sixth Mountain from time to time.

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

Everyone knows that once the Sixth Mountain falls, the Four Sect Alliance will only have the Fifth Mountain left, and at that time, the Luoyun Sect side will have no way out.

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

Every battle was a bloody defense.

In this kind of war, countless cultivators fell, and naturally, many surviving cultivators would make a name for themselves.

Dao titles like Min Longyu and Thunder Array Son emerged one after another.

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

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

Not to mention whether they fall or not, just whether they 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 fell like a rainstorm, and sword light was like weaving, brilliant and vertical and horizontal.

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

Foundation Establishment True Cultivators were the main force of combat, either controlling magic tools to come and go, or accumulating magic treasure killing moves to bombard the battle formation.

And those large numbers of Qi Refining cultivators who seemed unable to participate in the Foundation Establishment stage struggle erupted with combat power that made people look sideways.

Many Qi Refining cultivators gathered in groups, releasing lethal spells under the command of the Four Sect True Transmission disciples.

One or two are not to be feared.

But when the number is large, even Foundation Establishment True Cultivators find it difficult to resist their edge.

Just as the Qingdan Valley Jin Dan True Person said back then, in today's cultivation world, cultivators have gone on a wrong path, and each is attacking more than defending.

Powerful attack magic treasures can be seen everywhere.

Excellent defensive magic treasures are hard to find!

Even top-grade defensive magic tools are extremely rare.

In this situation, Foundation Establishment True Cultivators seem powerful, but they are still full of risks of being besieged and falling by low-level cultivators.

Compared to the fighting and killing of these vassal forces.

The Luotian Society side can be described as peaceful!

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

This situation made some Qi Refining cultivators of the Luotian Society who wanted to make contributions feel impatient.

But for the three Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, Luo Chen, Duan Feng, and Xu Huanzhen, they wished it would continue until the end of the war.

Merits?

No matter how great the merits are, they are not worth keeping the green hills!

Unless the Four Sect Alliance can provide a way for them to step onto higher peaks.

Otherwise, staying quietly in the rear is the best.

Perhaps the only thing everyone is not used to is that the spiritual energy in the Jilei Nine Mountains is very thin!

Not suitable for normal cultivator practice!

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

The world is filled with massive thunder-type spiritual energy; unless one is a powerful cultivator with thunder spirit roots, one cannot practice quietly here.

Moreover, even for thunder spirit root cultivators, they dare not easily absorb the spiritual energy that escapes from this power of heaven and earth.

It is too manic and chaotic, and it takes a long time to refine.

Unable to practice does not mean unable to cultivate.

Luo Chen has not stopped practicing for this month.

His work of opening acupuncture points using Earth Fire Sha energy has been going on.

In one month, he opened more than fifty acupuncture points again.

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

Such progress, even if Wang Yuan heard it, would be dumbfounded.

But Luo Chen is not surprised; opening acupuncture points is different from the practice of other small levels of the Blood River Realm.

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

Penetrating meridians requires openness and closing, like a river rushing, washing away small water channels, and wherever it passes, it is a vast ocean!

And opening acupuncture points requires delicate work!

After all, acupuncture points are too fragile compared to the five organs and meridians, and it is easy to hurt oneself if one is not careful.

It's like threading a needle; you need good eyes and steady hands.

Luo Chen has particularly good eyes; his divine soul foundation is incomparably powerful, surpassing Wang Yuan by I don't know how much.

His means of controlling Sha energy are also extremely skilled because he has come into contact with thousands of Earth Fire Sha energy when refining Blood Sha Pills.

Now, it's just changing to a higher-tier Earth Fire Sha.

After he got a little familiar with it, his progress was naturally rapid.

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

"However, his body refining is still ahead of me; maybe he has already opened all 720 acupuncture points and achieved the state of internal and external movement, where my body points are like stars."

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

Just as he was about to extract Earth Fire Sha energy, he was stunned.

Gone!

Used up!

Regaining his senses, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel helpless.

He originally thought that these 100-plus portions of Earth Fire Sha energy could be used for a long time, but he didn't expect them to be so unusable.

It is estimated that it has something to do with his three wisps cooperating into one to forcibly impact the acupuncture points.

It's too wasteful.

Without Sha energy, how to impact the acupuncture points?

Time on the Sixth Mountain cannot be wasted casually!

Practicing spells?

Almost all of Luo Chen's current spells have reached Great Perfection.

Except for the third-tier spell "Ten Thousand Mile Travel" he just learned, he doesn't have much demand.

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

"Acupuncture point opening must continue!"

"The war on the front line is constant, and the Four Sect Alliance has inner disciples or True Transmissions falling from time to time. The Flame Alliance side is likely the same, and there must be a large amount of Earth Fire Sha energy in their inheritance."

"Instead of waiting to buy it when returning to Jinsha Floating Island, it is better to acquire it on the battlefield."

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

Let him go to the front-line station to ask people.

If anyone has second-tier Earth Fire Sha energy, he, Luo Chen, is willing to buy it at a high price.

After Bu Junjie left with the order, Luo Chen felt bored, inspected the defense line of the station, and came to the thunder-struck wood forest where the Zhouyou Eighteen formation disks were buried.

Looking at this scorched and short wood forest, it is difficult for outsiders to connect it with the valuable second-tier thunder-struck wood.

But the scene of lightning and thunder flashing from time to time shows that it is indeed second-tier thunder-struck wood containing trace amounts of lightning!

After checking the formation disks, Luo Chen nodded with satisfaction.

In one month, it cost him 30, 00 low-grade spirit stones and 200 middle-grade spirit stones. Now the thunder light 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.

At that time, 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 and replaced them with brand-new spirit stones to ensure that the formation could continue to operate.

Just as he was about to leave, a crisp sound came to his ears.

Crackle!

A lightning bolt fell from the sky and hit a thunder-struck wood that was only first-tier.

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

"It didn't catch fire; it seems that after reaching the first tier, it already has a certain resistance!"

Luo Chen sighed, and was about to leave.

But his footsteps stopped subconsciously.

A pair of spiritual eyes operated, staring fixedly at that thunder-struck wood.

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

The free spiritual energy around it was slowly gathering toward it, and its grade was slowly transforming.

After this strike, it instead promoted the key step of its upgrade to the second tier!

"Thunder is a synonym for destruction, and also a sign of catastrophe."

"But everyone knows that thunder also carries the symbolic meaning of recovery and life."

"Spring thunder rings, all things grow... In the Five Elements, the Eastern Trigram Zhen, Zhen is thunder, Five Elements belong to wood, so the Yi Wood Azure Dragon in the Eastern Seven 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 Sha energy but also have crazy moves to temper their bodies with thunder. The principle they use is the other attribute of thunder's destruction."

"I wonder if I can use the power of thunder?"

Standing in the thunder-struck wood forest, Luo Chen stared blankly at the thunder-struck wood that was upgrading, and fell into deep thought.

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

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

Suddenly, Luo Chen moved.

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

Crackle!

Duan Feng's face changed slightly, "The President doesn't seem to understand the technique of conducting thunder. Facing lightning with his physique like this, I'm afraid..."

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

Just for a moment, Luo Chen raised his hand hesitantly and looked at his fingertip.

A black dot stood prominently on the fingertip.

"Seems effective?"

In thought, he experimented a few more 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 said: "Is the President trying to use the small amount of thunder energy on the thunder-struck wood to do something?"

Luo Chen nodded.

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

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

"It is rumored that powerful Nascent Soul cultivators, when crossing the God Transformation Thunder Tribulation, have had the pioneering move of using tribulation thunder to cast true artifacts."

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

Above magic tools and magic treasures are true artifacts.

True artifacts are not something ordinary cultivators can possess; even Nascent Soul True Persons often find it difficult to possess one.

This object is not something that can be obtained by the promotion of a natal magic treasure.

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 True Persons and God Transformation Great Powers had the idea of using other methods to draw ordinary heavenly thunder to temper their natal magic treasures.

Over time.

The techniques of these methods have matured, spreading from top to bottom bit by bit.

Finally, it formed ordinary casters who can draw thunder energy to refine artifacts without thunder spirit 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 business of magic tools has not been able to continue recently, but it is idle and useless, so I can give it to you."

Sometimes, plans are never as fast as changes. 【

Luo Tian's attempt to use the war as an opportunity for the Casting Hall to earn spirit stones came to nothing following Li Yingzhang's serious injury and Wang Yuan's disappearance.

Most importantly, this business on the Golden Sand Floating Island was already being done by others; it was never going to be the turn of a mere ordinary caster like Duan Feng.

He was still too young.

"Hmm, thank you."

Taking a blue-and-white iron net from the other party's hand, Luo Chen returned to the stone room, lost in thought.

The next day.

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

This place was where the power of thunder was most concentrated in their encampment.

Just like before, he tried to use his body to absorb the power of the lightning, but unfortunately, it only resulted in minor injuries.

"The amount is too small!"

Luo Chen murmured, using the lightning-conducting net Duan Feng had given him.

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

In an instant.

Luo Chen felt as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, his entire body suffused with electric light.

After a long while, Luo Chen spat out a mouthful of turbid air, his body faintly emitting the smell of scorched flesh.

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

"It still doesn't work; I don't have a lightning spiritual root, so I simply cannot control the power of thunder."

"After a round of lightning strikes and healing, my physique did indeed grow a tiny bit stronger, but it was only a tiny bit."

"This kind of accumulation consumes time and spiritual energy; it is completely not worth the loss."

Luo Chen was constantly assessing his own condition.

The so-called vitality contained within the lightning was something completely beyond his level.

All he could utilize were the most superficial things.

Using the lightning to temper his physique, then using wood-attribute spiritual energy to perform medical arts, allowing his flesh to become increasingly powerful through repeated tempering and recovery.

But that was as far as it went.

"What a pity, I thought I had discovered some incredible body-refining method."

"Without a lightning spiritual root, I simply cannot use the spiritual energy contained within the lightning to stay in my meridians for long to temper my physique."

He sighed.

Luo Chen put away the lightning-conducting net.

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

"I don't have any Earth Fire baleful energy on hand right now, but the lightning here is mostly of the E-Wood attribute; what if I used it to open my acupoints after conducting it into my body?"

"The 'Heavenly Roc Transformation' also mentioned that the most suitable way to practice this technique is to borrow the essence blood of three ancient wild beasts: the Lightning Roc, the Golden-Winged Great Roc, and the Heavenly Sun Roc."

"The latter two techniques are incomplete, but after the Lightning Roc essence blood enters the body, there are relatively detailed development methods."

"My method for opening acupoints was inspired by the 'Heavenly Roc Transformation'; if I were to modify it slightly..."

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

This place was absolutely a treasure trove for him!

The value was not in the materials, but in the inexhaustible and not overly violent accumulation of lightning power.
