Chapter 645: Eternal Choice
Inside Congyun Immortal City, the monks were in an uproar upon seeing this.
Fortunately, since the last time Wanxian Island was raided and plundered by the Five Elders, the protection level of the rebuilt Congyun City is higher than that of ordinary state-level immortal cities, and is comparable to the level of several central states. After the light on the surface of the protective formation flowed, the crack disappeared in an instant.
Before anyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the second stream of fire collided with the protective light shield again. This time, the intensity was even greater than before. The cloud city shook slightly, and it seemed that it would fall from the sky in the next second.
What frightened everyone even more was that after the black fire exploded, it did not completely disappear. Instead, it left behind a black viscous substance that was wriggling and corroding the protective formation. Even from a distance, one could hear the sizzling sound coming from the periphery of the formation.
"Although Congyun City's [Tianyuan Transformation Array] is powerful, it can't last long." As a formation master, Li Fan quickly made a judgment.
While the formation and the black glue were in a stalemate, countless black streams of light kept flying towards Congyun Fairy City. Although purple rays of light were emitted from the Tianzun Elephant, some of the streams of fire were shot down, but more of them were still bombarded on Congyun City unstoppably.
In an instant, Congyun Fairy City was like a leaf swaying in the wind and rain, in danger.
At this moment, Immortal Lord Hongxi finally demonstrated his decisiveness as the leader of a state.
He turned into a giant who stood tall and proud. He blocked countless black flames and ordered in a cold voice, "Activate the [Transformation Formation] of the entire Congyun Sea Area. Draw all the surrounding nodes to ensure that Congyun City is in the best condition!"
As he spoke, he cast a magical seal and flew to the highest point of Congyun City.
As soon as these words came out, Congyun City suddenly fell silent for a moment. Most of the cultivators did not understand the meaning of Hongxi Xianjun's words, but the few who did understand the meaning all turned pale at that moment.
Li Fan also narrowed his eyes, looking at Hong Xi who looked determined, and secretly admired: "What courage!"
After studying the formation for several lifetimes, Li Fan was very clear about the general defense system of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Every city guarded would build a protective formation. Within a state, with the central suspended sky city as the core, these hundreds of small protective formations formed a medium-sized formation that spanned the entire state.
And in the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, these medium-sized magic arrays in all the states combined can form an extremely large and terrifying array that covers nearly half of the Xuanhuang Realm.
Progressive layer by layer, infinite power!
The type of defensive formation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance changes every five hundred years. Previously, on a sunken island, I saw the [Ten Thousand Miles Mountain and River Formation] that was used before. Now, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance uses the [Tian Yuan Hua Sheng Formation].
Although its defensive ability is slightly weaker than that of the Wanli Mountain and River Formation, it has an irreplaceable function.
That is to absorb the essence of the living beings in the formation and enhance the effectiveness of the formation!
Therefore, the meaning of Immortal Lord Hongxi is very clear.
He used all his strength to turn the Tianyuan Huasheng Formation far away, absorbing the essence of the creatures on the surviving islands in Congyunhai, in order to maintain the safety of the formation of Congyun Fairy City.
Rationally speaking, this choice is not a problem. After all, in the face of this catastrophe, except for the current Congyun City, which can barely resist a little, the rest of the islands will be reduced to ashes in an instant. Using the lives of those who are destined to die to strengthen the formation, it may be possible to find a glimmer of hope for the monks in Congyun City.
but……
After all, being killed by the spirit of heaven and earth and being killed by the Ten Thousand Immortals League’s own people are two different things.
Not everyone can do such a cruel thing as to disregard the lives of fellow citizens.
Therefore, after the words of Immortal Lord Hongxi spread, the cultivators in the Strategy Hall remained silent and did not take any action.
Hong Xi himself did not seem to have the courage to repeat the order. He looked at the protective light shield that was about to fall apart with a gloomy face and did not give another order.
"Let me give you a hand."
Li Fan's eyes flashed, and his clone flew into the air, shouting loudly: "Why are you still standing there? Now is a life-and-death situation, you just need to follow orders! All the consequences will be borne by Lord Hongxi and me!"
Hongxi looked at Li Fan with some surprise.
The monks in the Strategy Hall looked at each other, gritted their teeth, and were finally forced to make up their minds.
One after another, magic seals flew to various nodes of the [Tianyuan Huasheng Array], and the light on the protective shield suddenly became brighter.
It was as if time suddenly stopped. The next moment, it seemed as if an infinite amount of energy rushed in from all directions. The purple light shield appeared in an instant, as if it was real. It easily blocked the impact of the black fire.
There were no more violent vibrations, but instead a continuous muffled sound.
The crisis was temporarily resolved, but the surviving monks in Congyun City did not show much excitement. Because along with the huge enhancement of the [Tianyuan Transformation Array], there were wailing and cursing sounds on the light screen. There was also a vaguely visible horrific scene of humans being drained of all their energy in an instant and turned into skeletons.
It's like hell on earth, so terrifying.
"Although it can protect us temporarily, it is not a long-term solution. All contact with the headquarters has been cut off. If we stay here, we will just wait for death."
"I want to go out and meet this Spirit of Heaven and Earth. I'll leave this place to you!" Immortal Lord Hongxi ignored the horrifying scene in the sky and sent a message to Li Fan.
Then he looked into the distance at the place where the black meteorite fell and took a step forward.
His figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
The departure of Immortal Lord Hongxi made the cultivators, who had originally calmed down, become uneasy again. Fortunately, the Secret Envoy was still there, so they could still maintain a little peace of mind.
Li Fan had a cold face, staring carefully at the center of the sea of clouds, waiting patiently.
Time passed slowly, and when the first wave of black flames was completely blocked, the crisis of annihilation seemed to have passed. The clouds and waves gradually subsided, and only the black colloid still sticking to the protective light shield was telling the signs that the disaster had existed.
This abnormal calmness seems to be accompanied by a hint of impending storm.
Li Fan also sensed something was wrong.
"Black Flame is not there?" Feeling the breath of Immortal Lord Hongxi's rapid return, Li Fan's eyes swept across the sky and then looked at the deep sea.
At the bottom of the sea, some terrible disaster seems to be brewing.
Boo!
A bubble suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, followed by the body of a cooked fish, which floated up with its belly turned upside down.
Then, in an instant, the entire sea of clouds seemed to boil.
Countless bubbles continued to surge, accompanied by the corpses of countless sea creatures.
