Boom!
Balls of heavenly fire hit the barrier evenly one after another. The Huangji Sect's formation was extremely sophisticated, using the earth veins as its bones, the spirit veins as its blood, and supplemented by precious treasures.
In this way all the disadvantages of defense are avoided.
That is, defense needs to take into account all directions and needs to preset multiple Taoist methods, and the consumption is bound to be several times greater than attack. The defender cannot be sure what action the attacker who has the absolute initiative will take, and whether the next attack will be a Taoist method, a soul, or some evil magic.
Some great masters have developed point-to-point defensive methods, dancing on the edge of a knife. There are also methods similar to the Buddhist golden body that strengthen one's own body to achieve defense without any preparation.
But in the final analysis, the defender is always at a disadvantage.
The large formation that is directly inserted into the ground is free from all disadvantages. It relies on the endless mana of the spiritual veins to maintain the formation, and the ground veins ensure its stability. A sophisticated formation can also counterattack.
With such consumption, you can kill enemies across borders.
Therefore, the mountain protection formation became the standard configuration of the sect, and it was the most powerful guarantee for long-term peace. In the history of the cultivation world, there were many cases where the sect relied on the formation to avoid the pursuit of enemies, stabilized for hundreds of years, and waited for a new generation of strong people to grow up and rise again.
This is also the reason why the Huangji Sect has not fallen until now despite the siege of the celestial beings.
But Lord Yan Tian was not in a hurry. In his opinion, this mountain protection formation was very unstable and the foundation of the formation did not penetrate deep into the earth veins.
It’s like a building that needs to have a foundation 20 meters deep, but in reality only less than 10 meters is dug.
The reason is not difficult to guess, based on the memories left in the souls of the monks he killed in the past few days. It has only been 15 years since the beginning of the world, and this sect has only been established for less than 10 years.
A qualified mountain protection formation would take at least a hundred years and at most a thousand years to build.
It takes a long time and a high investment to make a dead object comparable to a strong person, and it will take continuous investment to maintain it. This is why many times it is better to cultivate a strong person than to invest huge sums of money to create magic weapons or formations.
This formation can probably last for a year.
Or one month only consumes 500 years of life.
Lord Yan Tian turned his gaze to the other side, but at this moment the others had already swept the entire Black Soil State.
The actions of the Asgard are planned, not just a sudden push forward or pure killing.
Their goal from the beginning to the end was to save the people of the world.
Therefore, the action was divided into three groups. Yan Tianjun started from the Hengduan Mountains and advanced towards the Huangji Sect, attracting firepower while also gathering the masters of the five major sects in one place. The remaining two groups of people advanced along the coastline towards Shenzhou, indirectly forcing the masters of all major and minor sects to the Huangji Sect.
This will avoid fighting in the city, which would cause the deaths of a large number of mortals.
If two Yuanying-level masters used their power, the huge cities built by humans in this era would not necessarily be destroyed, but the flesh-and-blood humans would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. For example, the fire caused by the sky fire that he casually dropped could cause countless deaths.
This was accompanied by stampedes caused by panic and the irreparable loss of human hearts after the social order collapsed again.
A stream of light is flying towards this side.
"Tianjun, the Sword Master said we can stop now."
A celestial being flew over from afar, bowed and reported: "Sword Master has ordered us to switch from offense to defense, trap them instead of attacking, and circle them."
"Be trapped but not attack."
Yan Tianjun frowned slightly, obviously unwilling to stop. Xiao Yuntian had expected his temperament, and the celestial being who came to report said: "Jianzun also said that you have a strong temper, and you must want to kill all these people to eliminate future troubles."
"But now your strength has not yet recovered to its peak, and even at this moment you are depleting your foundation. For the sake of the people of the world, you can burn your body and life, but it is not worth it to kill people."
Yan Tianjun's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, the heavenly fire that kept floating between his eyebrows and pupils slowly disappeared, his Taoist magic dissipated, and no more fiery meteors fell from the sky.
Only the scorched earth, some remaining flames, and a thousand-foot spiritual barrier emitting spiritual light remained. The monks hiding in it all breathed a sigh of relief.
He asked, "What are we going to do with this place from now on? Are we going to stay here forever?"
The celestial being replied, "Sword Master said that he will have a brilliant plan in a month."
He sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes and breathed in spiritual energy. Ten more Jindan celestial beings came from afar. They guarded the four directions and formed a simple formation each. They also set up a larger barrier outside the mountain protection formation.
Such a formation cannot stop anyone, it serves more as a warning.
They only had to delay for a moment.
A few hundred miles away, there is a city.
A celestial being in the Jindan stage stood on the top of the city. Seeing that the city below was in chaos, he held an extremely huge water dragon in his palm, which rose from the river into the sky and hovered over the entire city, shocking everyone.
Countless mortals looked up at the sky, looking at the water dragon and the celestial being with fear in their eyes.
A majestic voice came from the sky, falling from the sky, like thunder from heaven, proclaiming the supreme authority.
"I am the Immortal Master Xuanlong."
"Since the recovery of heaven and earth, the world has been in chaos. Mortals are like being thrown into a frying pan and raging fire. Rites and music have collapsed. Laws no longer exist. Virtues are gone. People are eating each other."
"This is the immorality of those in power, and they should be executed! Now the culprit has been executed to spare the dead, but the chaos still exists."
"From today on, the Immortal Palace is established. I will tell the immortals and the world that the world will be prosperous and peaceful from today. Anyone who holds power but loses his morals, anyone who harms the people of the world, and anyone who does not follow the laws of the Immortal Palace shall be beheaded, destroyed, and executed!"
