Chapter 497: Azure Light Formation

Again after fighting continuously for over twenty days, Yan Buji, covered in wounds, staggered and squatted down, panting heavily.

I can't finish fighting, I really can't finish fighting.

Not to mention those sixfold transformation abnormal beasts being hard to deal with, even just handling some fivefold and fourfold transformation abnormal beasts can easily cause injury if one is careless.

After entering the abnormal region for almost two months, Yan Buji never dared to relax and recover his immortal essence and mana, relying entirely on pills to push through.

If it weren't for the slow recovery of his immortal essence, Yan Buji wouldn't have sustained so many injuries.

However, the benefit is that the more brutal and exhausting the battle, the faster his martial dao dao marks accumulate; now he already has a full nine hundred dao marks, much faster than before when he fought battles.

Precisely because his dao marks are increasing, Yan Buji's realm is gradually rising, and he will soon reach the early stage of Martial Immortal.

Moreover, he is inherently someone who can make a lump of immortal essence last ten uses; even a slight recovery of immortal essence does not cause him to lose combat power.

But his wounds keep increasing; relying solely on pills now can only temporarily suppress them, he must find a place to properly rest and recover!

But where in the abnormal region is there a place to rest?

Yan Buji even dares not stop his steps, because abnormal beasts could chase after him at any moment from behind.

The previous battle was the same; facing an ambush by two fools, Yan Buji's anger flared up instantly, he did not deliberately control his emotions, precisely so that the fury could become his strength.

Bursting Rage is triggered by the anger in one's emotions; the more the anger swells, the greater the power gained.

Fortunately, those two weren't very strong, so the anger generated wasn't too great; otherwise, encountering that sixfold transformation abnormal beast, the human-faced crocodile, Yan Buji would likely have his judgment clouded by rage and engage it in a fierce battle.

Preserving his strength, Yan Buji walked while staying alert to his surroundings; he also didn't know exactly where he had run to, but judging by the nearby abnormal mutation rosy vapor still being seven-colored, he likely wouldn't suddenly encounter an eightfold transformation abnormal beast.

This is....

Yan Buji walked and walked, suddenly feeling he had stepped on something.

Suddenly, a burst of azure light flashed, enveloping Yan Buji!

In the blink of an eye, Yan Buji looked around, furrowed his brows: 'A formation?'

Zizi!

The surrounding azure light formed a shield, flowing with mysterious formation patterns, but these patterns were partially damaged, as if they had lost more than half of their power.

Hmm.... Yan Buji took out a book, carefully comparing and observing: "It should be a kind of trap, but the formation patterns are missing, so there's no offensive means.... and after so many years, can it still be activated?"

Yan Buji discovered that the formation patterns etched on the ground were complete and ancient, but this formation's level should not be low, and it was laid out using a formation-within-formation method. This indicates that outside this formation there should be a vast formation area, constituting an extremely terrifying grand formation.

This might merely be an obstruction formation set up to prevent abnormal beasts from appearing, and due to its great age it has lost its lethal power.

But although I can't get out, the abnormal beasts probably can't get in either, right?

This formation seems also to have the ability to distinguish abnormal beasts from humans, and it's possible that the failure of its offensive means is why Yan Buji entered without encountering danger.

He looked around, furrowed his brows: 'Really troublesome, let's first check the nearby situation.'

After all, Yan Buji hasn't studied formations much, and this isn't his forte, so he can only rely on his limited knowledge to specially infer the formation's function.

Within this Azure Light Formation, Yan Buji felt that the changes in spatial position were quite intense.

That is to say, the place I just entered is actually far from the formation's position, and I don't know where it brought me.

But Yan Buji is still within the formation; one can only say that the range of this Azure Light Formation is larger than he imagined. Thus the spatial displacement caused will make him appear at various points within the formation; although it looks like he's walking straight ahead, he could be in the east one second and several hundred meters to the south the next.

Roar!

An abnormal beast suddenly burst in, Yan Buji's expression remained calm as he retreated a few steps.

The abnormal beast in front, upon detecting a living creature, went berserk and charged over.

But in the blink of an eye, that abnormal beast vanished and reappeared on the other side.

Actually, one can make use of this place to figure out the formation's characteristics and use them to slay these abnormal beasts!

Yan Buji narrowed his eyes and chuckled.

The abnormal material of abnormal beasts is expensive, and not everyone has the chance to enter the abnormal region to hunt for treasure.

Moreover, with the formation's protection, as long as Yan Buji doesn't collide with it, watching this abnormal beast dart about in the formation, he can always find the Azure Light Formation's transfer pattern and then kill it.

This is much simpler than frontal combat.

Afterward, Yan Buji took out a notebook to record it, and incidentally sketched the formation patterns he had previously discovered.

South, southeast.... northwest?

Yan Buji calculated and discovered that the abnormal beast had suddenly appeared to the southwest; he furrowed his brows: 'Did I calculate backwards? North, northeast.... northwest?'

Or maybe it's still wrong.... no, the direction must be wrong; I can't judge by my sense of direction, I should judge by the formation's routes......

Yan Buji continuously calculated his and the abnormal beast's positions, determining direction through the formation patterns.

Afterward, Yan Buji discovered that distance also affects direction, so he had to add distance as well.

If there were a distance algorithm, then speed should also be a condition affecting spatial displacement." Yan Buji pondered; although he knew nothing about formations, fortunately he had studied the Heaven Gate Law, so his perception of using spatial power was still relatively strong.

Two days passed.

Yan Buji had calculated the direction; standing in place, he occasionally adjusted his orientation and took two steps forward!

Suddenly, that abnormal beast lifted its head and saw Yan Buji appear above its head!

Boom!

The Sea Kun Hammer came down following the momentum; Yan Buji instantly burst with speed, dodging the abnormal beast's counterattack and appearing on the other side.

Good, this way dealing with that sixfold transformation abnormal beast wouldn't be so difficult!

Yan Buji laughed.

After half a day, watching that abnormal beast being played to death by him using the formation, he laughed as he went to dissect the corpse, though unfortunately he didn't find the abnormal mutation bone.

Let's rest here for a while, recover from the injuries, and then leave.

Yan Buji sat cross-legged and etched a small formation beneath himself that could, upon sensing danger and a turning thought, utilize the formation to transfer. It must be said that although he lacks talent in mana cultivation, his research into these esoteric arts is still quite formidable.

After a month, Yan Buji had replenished his spirit, recovered most of his injuries, and his immortal essence was fully restored; only then did he continue onward, leaving the Azure Light Formation.

This place is not bad; if he encounters any danger again, relying on the Azure Light Formation he could hold out for a bit." Yan Buji thought, having also attained some proficiency in formations; although he couldn't replicate the Azure Light Formation, borrowing its power was still doable.

But ahead lay the grand combined formation that Yan Buji had guessed; he dared not advance lightly, so he chose to detour around this area and continue exploring.
