Chapter 574: Unexpected Crisis!
“Perhaps it’s because we are in the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Formation, where life and death crises can arise at any moment?” Liu Yu speculated, furrowing his brows.
The Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Formation was a carefully laid out array by the Royal Court of the Demonic Race, designed to detect any human cultivators who entered it immediately.
Once a cultivator surpassed the late golden core stage, even just approaching the formation would lead to their position being locked on.
However, affected by certain circumstances, part of the formation's functions had temporarily failed. As long as a cultivator did not exceed the late golden core stage, entering the formation would not result in detection.
But they only had half an hour!
“This is the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Formation?!” Zhuo Mengzhen and Mu Yunyan looked around, curiously observing the situation within the array.
Among high-level cultivators, the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Formation was well-known.
Yet, they had never expected to be in such close contact or even enter the formation.
Soon, they also noticed the thin spiritual energy within the array, and involuntarily frowned, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
“This place isn’t suitable for long stays; we should leave as soon as possible,” Liu Yu said, and then his figure moved, flying straight north.
The goal was to traverse the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Formation and reach the other end of the array.
Although the array was densely filled with demonic energy, far richer than spiritual energy, it did not greatly affect his strength.
Liu Yu’s power relied more on magical treasures and divine abilities, with his robust physical body, and he rarely used spells.
Thus, the changes in the concentration of spiritual energy outside did not significantly impact him.
However, staying within the formation, the feeling of an ever-present crisis lingered in his heart, which was truly unpleasant.
If possible, he wanted to leave quickly.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
In the empty sky, a slight sound of breaking air occurred.
On the prairie, a lion demonic beast raised its head lazily at the noise, but saw nothing.
A gentle breeze passed, but the air remained empty.
“The number and quality of low-level demonic beasts here are far higher than outside.”
“Because they grow in an environment rich in demonic energy, the demonic beasts here are stronger, almost like a cradle for demonic cultivators,” Mu Yunyan whispered, observing the scenery along the way.
After entering the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Formation, the number of demonic beasts in the same-sized area increased.
Moreover, from the perspective of a golden core cultivator, their strength was also greater.
Clearly, this was the effect of the Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Formation.
“I don’t know how many demonic cultivators have been born from this formation.”
“If there’s a chance, Tian Nan should find a way to destroy this formation,” the Old Daoist of the Azure Tower said solemnly, sweeping his gaze over the low-level demonic beasts below that outnumbered them.
Demonic cultivators grow step by step from demonic beasts; with more excellent demonic beasts, naturally, more demonic cultivators would be born.
This Ten Thousand Demonic Beast Formation not only effectively obstructs Tian Nan’s cultivators but is also a cradle for excellent demonic beasts.
To put it specifically, it serves a strategic function similar to foundation establishment pills or golden core pills, and as long as the formation isn’t destroyed, the effect will continue.
“Don’t cause any unnecessary trouble.”
Seeing that the Old Daoist seemed to be ready to deal with a few demonic beasts, Liu Yu spoke to stop him.
At this crucial moment, he only wanted to traverse the formation smoothly, with no intention of causing complications.
As the strongest, Liu Yu’s words held weight, and the Old Daoist silently retracted his hand.
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
The five of them moved at a steady pace, quietly making their way towards the other end of the formation, averaging about two thousand miles per hour.
