They once again erected the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation, forcefully blocking the attack of dozens of demigod-level dark serpent people.
The battle was now beyond the reach of ordinary snake people. The clash of dozens of demigods had created utter chaos in the space. Apart from the angel and the Rakshasa who were being carefully protected by the five people, the rest of the area was almost instantly pulverized.
The powerful impact even blasted through the floor beneath their feet, allowing them to directly enter the space on the next level.
However, because they needed to protect the angels and Rakshasa behind them, Ye Jun and his group were in a very passive position in the battle. Many times, in order to avoid the attack affecting the rear, they had to withstand the attacks of the Dark Serpent People.
The Dark Serpent People, who have acquired civilization, wield various weapons. While these weapons may not be particularly powerful, they possess a range of bizarre abilities, much like the Ghost Ship, making them extremely troublesome.
"The weapons of the Dark Civilization, like the tools of civilization, all have various strange effects!" Noah explained.
"Limited by the materials themselves, their weapons are insignificant in terms of sturdiness and sharpness, but depending on their effects, they can often unleash extremely terrifying power!"
"Weapons with one of the strange attributes are often bestowed upon dark creatures below the seventh rank; while seventh-rank demigod-level weapons have at least two strange attributes; eighth-rank demigod-level weapons have three, and as for the ninth rank, that's unknown!"
"That spear just now, if I'm not mistaken, should have had corrupting properties, which even affected my Flaming Sword! This dagger's properties should be able to destroy weapons and tear apart spiritual energy!" Ye Jun said, splitting a dark snake-man in two with his sword and looking at the nick on the Flaming Sword. Then, with a flick of his right hand, the nick on the sword was completely healed.
This sword was merely a manifestation of his spiritual power, and repairing it was as simple as a thought. Being able to probe the weapon attributes of these dark gods meant that his spiritual power had not been wasted.
"I will count to ten. Everyone, step back and find a floating energy crystal. Pour your divine power into it!" Suddenly, Fuxi's voice rang out behind the three of them. This time, he was setting up the Heavenly Annihilation Formation, one of the Ten Absolute Formations.
This is a formation that reverses the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man, containing profound and mysterious calculations, and harboring the secrets of chaos. It contains three banners, representing the unity of the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man.
At this moment, Ye Jun, Zhulong, and Taishan had just set up the Heaven and Earth Three Talents Formation. As the three retreated, each of them landed precisely at the location of an energy crystal. Their spiritual power surged, and the three energy crystals immediately lit up with dazzling light.
As the Heavenly Annihilation Formation was activated, plumes of white mist rose, and thunder rumbled within the formation. Any dark serpent-men who rushed into the formation were instantly reduced to ashes by the thunder. Ye Jun and the others only needed to continuously infuse their divine power to maintain the operation of the entire formation.
"Hold on for five minutes, and I'll set up another great formation!" Fuxi said. Even while inside the formation, his hands didn't stop moving. He continued to throw out elemental crystals, and a new great formation was slowly taking shape.
Although the Heavenly Annihilation Formation is powerful, it is not without its flaws. It consumes the energy of the person in charge of the formation. Normally, the energy crystals within it are enough to keep it running, but when facing a large number of enemies, the energy of the person in charge of the formation will be consumed. The more enemies are killed, the more energy is consumed.
With the overwhelming and endless number of Dark Serpent Men, it probably won't be long before they completely deplete the energy within Ye Jun and his companions.
Therefore, Fuxi had to set up another formation to preserve Ye Jun and the others' combat strength in a less strenuous way, and even buy them enough time to recover. As long as they could turn the ghost ship around, their first phase of the mission would be complete.
"Found it! There's a main shaft over there. If we just turn it, we should be able to change the entire ghost ship's course!" Suddenly, an angel pointed to a thick log in the darkness and said.
Everyone looked over and was immediately ashamed. Damn, it truly lives up to its name as the main axis! Its thickness is so great, even a hundred angels hugging it wouldn't be a tenth of its width! What's the difference between standing on it and standing on the ground?
This log is like Sun Wukong's golden cudgel, which can pacify the four seas. It reaches from the heavens to the underworld, like a pillar supporting the sky. However, this pillar is not standing upright at this time, but lying flat in the belly of the ghost ship and slowly turning.
"Find a way to stop its rotation, fast or slow, as long as we can change its course!" Noah said in a deep voice. At this point, apart from maintaining the gates of the Kingdom of the Dead, he could do little else but guide these sixth-tier kin to find the central control room.
Hearing his words, everyone felt a headache coming on. Such a thick log must be protected by some extraordinary force. How were they supposed to turn it?
After a brief silence, the Rakshasa took the lead and, without the slightest hesitation, each found a position and began to exert all their strength to organize the rotation of the main axis.
They didn't have time to find the connection point of the main shaft and adjust the actual steering wheel, but as long as the rotation speed of this main shaft changes, it will inevitably have some impact on the direction. As long as the direction deviates, no matter which way it deviates, at least their goal has been achieved.
One after another, high-level sharp weapons were thrust out of the main shaft. The weapons that had fought alongside the Rakshasa were now being used as handles to control the main shaft, preventing it from rotating at a fixed frequency.
Unfortunately, the result was not as expected. The main axis of the being with immortal attributes was directly cut by these sharp blades, and then slowly recovered through its immortal attributes. In other words, even if the Rakshasa cut the main axis, they could not stop its rotation.
"We can't use sharp tools; we need to find a way to control it without damaging the spindle!" Noah said, frowning. Then he suddenly paused, "Wait, since we can't control it, why not just cut it off? Wouldn't that change the spindle's rotation speed?"
Thinking of this, Noya immediately stopped the Rakshasa and the angels from trying to hold onto the main axis. He directly combined the skeletal blades to create a huge bone knife and slashed at the rolling log below.
"Boom~~~" Suddenly, a violent tremor resounded throughout the entire space, and the entire ghost ship was shaken. All the dark snake people's pupils shrank, and they stared at the main axis with their vertical pupils wide open, their eyes filled with horror.
