Chapter 1114 The Great Battle of Spirit Wood Begins

Chapter 1114 The Great Battle of Spirit Wood Begins

Time in the dungeon seemed to lose its meaning.

Every day, there was only the unchanging darkness and the continuous sound of agonizing cries.

The intelligence level of the black mist prison guards seemed to be quite low. Facing Li Fan, the sudden addition to their prisoners, they only emitted eerie laughter and then mechanically activated the formation in the pillars, attempting to torture Li Fan.

However, Li Fan effortlessly dispelled all their attempts.

He still cooperatively simulated his own cries of agony, deceiving the prison guards and making them leave contentedly.

In addition to these low-level prison guards that frequently appeared in the dungeon, occasionally, the patrol cultivators of the Million Immortal Alliance could also be seen.

There were a total of three of them, taking turns to come. Their visits to the dungeon were usually just a formality. After all, the dungeon had been peaceful for thousands of years, and there had never been any major incidents.

However, after a period of observation, Li Fan also realized that the place where he was currently hiding was only the outermost layer of the dungeon. The Million Immortal Alliance did not actually pay much attention to the prisoners confined there. He even witnessed one of his neighbors being unable to withstand the torment of the formation and that his soul dispersed. After that, no one came to check for a long time.

It wasn't until the usual patrol of the black mist prison guards that the damage was discovered, and then the purification formation was activated, cleaning the pillars before waiting for the arrival of the next prisoner.

The situation in the dungeon was quite satisfactory to Li Fan.

The chances of being discovered were minimal, and there were no disturbances from anyone.

While enjoying the peace and quiet, Li Fan made preparations for the impending plan of destruction while observing the situation in the Spirit Wood Realm through the holy infant.

After issuing the order for all to prepare for battle and fleeing for a considerable amount of time, the outside world remained calm with no signs of the Million Immortal Alliance preparing for war.

So much so that doubts began to arise in the hearts of the people regarding Li Fan's judgment. However, intimidated by the power of the Compassionate Immortal of the Mortal Realm, they dared not show it openly.

But Li Fan knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

As it turned out, Li Fan's prediction was correct.

One day, traces of fluctuations quietly appeared at the seal formation at the entrance of the Spirit Wood Realm.

Li Fan noticed the anomaly immediately.

After concentrating for a moment, Li Fan coldly snorted, "Quite a few tricks up their sleeve. It seems that the formations I gifted to the Million Immortal Alliance have been thoroughly studied by them. Compared to before, the level of formations has improved by at least a hundred years. However, it's still lagging behind me by more than a generation!"

"With their such slow progress, it's unlikely that they will be able to crack the formations in less than three months. And that's assuming I don't know how to repair the formations. But, on the other hand, if the Million Immortal Alliance might not have that patience. If they can't break the formations, they will probably launch a strong attack…"

Li Fan did not believe that the Million Immortal Alliance could be stopped by just a single formation.

"Maybe it's better to reveal a flaw and let them in, then catch them like fish in a barrel!" Li Fan thought of a plan in an instant.

Although for the sake of safety, his true self had already fled, facing the pressure from the Million Immortal Alliance, Li Fan did not completely give up the idea of resistance.

After all, accumulating the resources of the Spirit Wood Realm in this lifetime was not an easy task and required a lot of effort and energy.

Now that the Million Immortal Alliance was coming, he was definitely going to put up a fight.

"This is a good opportunity to test the true value of the Million Immortal Alliance and see if they are worthy of the title of one of the two dominant organizations in the Xuanhuang Realm."

Li Fan informed the people in the Spirit Wood Realm to prepare for battle. At the same time, he gradually loosened the protection of the formation, in cooperation with the Million Immortal Alliance's means of breaking the formation.

It appeared as if the formation had actually been broken.

The loopholes became more and more apparent, and eventually, a crack appeared at the entrance of the Spirit Wood Realm.

The first wave of attack force from the Million Immortal Alliance instantly arrived in the Spirit Wood Realm through these rifts.

At the moment of confrontation, both sides were slightly stunned.

Surprisingly, the people of the Spirit Wood Realm seemed to have long discovered the Million Immortal Alliance's actions and were already prepared.

And Li Fan was astonished to find out that the so-called vanguard of the Million Immortal Alliance was not a group of elite warriors, but rather hundreds of arrows shimmering with an icy glow.

"The Celestial Patrol Arrows?!" Li Fan was somewhat surprised.

The Celestial Patrol Arrows were a powerful weapon developed by the Million Immortal Alliance in this world, capable of traveling a vast distance in just a few breaths. They also possessed formidable power, equivalent to the strike of an ordinary Dao-fusion cultivator.

But the most terrifying aspect of the Celestial Patrol Arrows was their ability to form a special formation with each other, creating a vast net that could distort and influence the laws of heaven and earth.

During the previous great war with the Five Elders' Society, the Million Immortal Alliance had used the Celestial Patrol Arrows to disrupt the laws of heaven and earth on a large scale, preventing the Old Masters of the Five Elders' Society from intervening in the battle.

"It seems that the Million Immortal Alliance is planning to use decapitation tactics. With a hundred and sixty-eight Celestial Patrol Arrows, in an ordinary small world, living creatures would probably be completely wiped out by this technique. However…"

Li Fan coldly chuckled, reacting quickly.

First, he used the large formation covering the Spirit Wood Realm to interfere with these Celestial Patrol Arrows, preventing them from forming a formation. Then he sent out the Tianyang, using absolute strength to control and suppress these Celestial Patrol Arrows before they could cause any damage.

Although the Celestial Patrol Arrows were fast, the Tianyang was even faster!

The Tianyang turned into a streak of green light and shuttled back and forth across the sky.

In the blink of an eye, he had already brought them all under control.

"Take a few to study and see if we can use this thing to our advantage." Saint Embryo Li Fan said to the Craftsman Master in excitement.

The Craftsman Master eagerly took the Celestial Patrol Arrows and hurried to dismantle and study them.

Meanwhile, the sudden loss of contact with hundreds of Celestial Patrol Arrows on the side of the Million Immortal Alliance seemed to catch them off guard.

After being bewildered for a long time, they hesitated to launch the next wave of attacks.

Seeing this, Li Fan pretended to reactivate the seal formation at the entrance.

As the "hardly-won" rift in the formation began to heal slowly, the Million Immortal Alliance couldn't hold back and quickly launched another attack.

This time, a group of cultivators clad in golden armor appeared in the Spirit Wood Realm through the rift at the entrance.

Shrouded in golden light, their faces were indiscernible. Even their precise positions seemed impossible to pin down. After arriving in the Spirit Wood Realm, the golden-armored cultivators quickly dispersed.

They were extremely fast, even faster than the Celestial Patrol Arrows.

The most challenging aspect was that they left behind residual images along their path of flight.
