Chapter 3067: Followers Delivered to the Door
There are many types of formations, endless in number.
Moreover, formations form their own dao, which is the Formation Dao.
Some terrifying formations have extremely powerful effects and vast coverage areas, even able to envelop an entire world.
However, such formations are also very difficult to set up, with many restrictions and often requiring a huge price to pay.
The Ten Thousand Volcanoes Great Formation is such a formation. Its power is strong enough to trap and kill eighth-level Dao Venerables, but it's equally difficult to set up.
Moreover, in the process of controlling the formation, the one who set it up will suffer backlash from the formation.
The previous generation clan leader of the Blazing Divine Eagle clan, who obtained the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Volcanoes Great Formation, suffered backlash from the formation. After annihilating his enemies, he was ultimately severely injured due to the backlash and died not many years later.
When listening to Hun Yi's account, Lin Moyu thought it was because the formation was too powerful, exceeding his ability range.
Now it seems that wasn't the case.
The formation was indeed powerful, but an eighth-level Dao Venerable should have been able to withstand the backlash.
What truly injured him, besides the formation, was the resentment of living beings and the backlash of the Fire Dao.
The formation's backlash, the resentment of living beings, and the Fire Dao's backlash each accounted for one-third, combining to form damage that even an eighth-level Dao Venerable could hardly bear.
Lin Moyu was proficient in formations and also had some understanding of the Formation Dao.
Using the formation to activate the power of the Fire Dao, while killing enemies, also killed too many innocent living beings.
These living beings, both strong and weak, had their resentment concentrated together, affecting the formation and also affecting the Fire Dao.
In the end, it caused the Blazing Divine Eagle clan, who cultivated the Fire Dao, to be abandoned by the Destruction Dao.
This was the fundamental reason he suffered backlash and ultimately died.
Thinking deeper, it was because that fellow only knew how to set up formations but didn't understand the Formation Dao at all.
It was like a child wielding a powerful weapon to kill, but accidentally being killed by their own weapon.
The more powerful the formation, the more it requires a powerful formation master to set it up.
To repair many flaws in the formation, ultimately forming a more powerful formation.
In that kind of large-scale killing formation, there must be a component for dissolving resentment.
Lin Moyu slowly flew up, observing the formation from afar, murmuring to himself.
"If resentment isn't removed, it will affect the formation. The more people killed, the greater the influence."
"Eventually the resentment gathers in the formation, affecting the Destruction Dao through the Formation Dao."
"Resentment can be dissolved or dispersed, but it shouldn't gather here, accumulating into a sea."
Lin Moyu's gaze swept over the vast formation. Everywhere was a sea of fire, with countless volcanoes erupting.
The formation covered an area of over ten million square kilometers. Within this range, all living beings would die.
Those who set up the formation seemed to have made some improvements. There was a component in the formation for dissolving resentment.
However, the component for dissolving resentment was clearly not enough. A large amount of resentment was still gathering.
These resentful energies were constantly affecting the formation, making the formation unstable.
If this continued, the formation would eventually collapse on its own.
Of course, that would take a very long time. Before the formation collapsed, everything within the formation's range would be destroyed.
Lin Moyu observed for a while, then his gaze focused on a certain place.
There, a large number of living beings were gathered, desperately fleeing.
These living beings included humans, beasts, and spirit beasts. There were even some Dao Venerable powerhouses among them.
"Interesting. It seems the Blazing Divine Eagle clan didn't inform their allies when activating the formation."
Lin Moyu's lips curled into a smile. He waved his hand, and space distorted.
The Buddhist Lich appeared, its six wheels of light shining brightly.
Lin Moyu pointed to those fleeing living beings, "Go save them."
The Buddhist Lich nodded, spreading its six wheels of light. Buddhist light shone, covering a vast area.
Amidst the sea of fire, a Buddhist nation suddenly appeared.
The fleeing living beings were instantly enveloped by the Buddhist nation.
Lin Moyu observed for a while. Seeing that the Buddhist Lich could handle it, he turned his attention elsewhere.
He wanted to see how the current Blazing Divine Eagle clan leader was controlling this formation.
The previous generation clan leader suffered such severe backlash. This generation's clan leader dared to use it, so he must have found a way to deal with the backlash.
Moreover, Lin Moyu also wanted to see if the current clan leader truly understood the Formation Dao.
If he didn't understand and was just recklessly using it, Lin Moyu believed this formation would eventually backfire on the Blazing Divine Eagle clan.
At that time, he might not even need to do anything. The Blazing Divine Eagle clan would destroy themselves.
Of course, that would take too long. Lin Moyu didn't have that much time to wait.
He needed to find a way to break out of the formation quickly.
Although he wasn't worried about his own safety, he was concerned about Little Five and the others in his rule world.
If he stayed in the formation for too long, they might start to worry.
Moreover, staying in the formation for too long wasn't good. Who knew what other means the Blazing Divine Eagle clan might have?
It was better to break out of the formation quickly, then counterattack.
Lin Moyu's gaze swept over the vast formation again. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"Found it!"
In a certain direction, Lin Moyu sensed a familiar aura.
It was the aura of that compass-like treasure.
That treasure could lock onto Soul Progenitor Beasts. Now it seemed to be one of the formation's cores.
"Interesting. Using that treasure as the formation's core, no wonder they dared to activate this formation."
Lin Moyu understood. With that treasure as the core, it could indeed reduce a lot of backlash.
However, using an external object as the formation's core also had its drawbacks.
If the core was destroyed, the entire formation would collapse.
Lin Moyu's lips curled into a smile again, "It seems breaking this formation won't be difficult."
As he spoke, he waved his hand. The Five Elements Sword Lich appeared.
The Sword Dao manifested, and five elemental swords appeared behind the Five Elements Sword Lich.
"Go destroy that treasure."
The Five Elements Sword Lich nodded, its body turning into a stream of light, shooting towards where the treasure was located.
Lin Moyu didn't follow. Instead, he turned his attention to the Buddhist Lich.
The Buddhist Lich had already saved many living beings. These living beings, upon entering the Buddhist nation, immediately became followers.
Lin Moyu nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad. These are all followers delivered to our door."
