"The formation is bizarre, so there's no need for the Divine Lord to risk his life. Lu Bu, tell me specifically how to break the formation. It would take sixteen Mahayana cultivators to break this formation, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?" Wang Yao waved his hand to stop the Divine Lord of Filling the Sea from arguing with Lu Bu, and turned to ask.
"Father, you are wise. Considering that there is only one Demon Lord to guard the formation, each of the eight gates must be assigned at least two Divine Lords. Once the two Divine Lords of the Gate of Life enter, the eight gates will begin to change. No matter which of the other gates becomes the Gate of Life, the Divine Lord of that gate must immediately rush into the formation."
"Once the sixteen Divine Lords have entered the formation and locked all the formation eyes firmly, the formation will no longer change. At that time, the formation master will have no choice but to show himself and fight. If the formation master hides, the formation heart will be lost and the formation will break immediately. If the formation master fights, he will not be able to defeat the combined power of the two Divine Lords and will also fail and lose the formation."
"What I'm referring to here is the situation where only the Decapitation Demon Lord is guarding the formation. With each additional formation master on the other side, countless variations will arise, greatly increasing the difficulty of breaking the formation. In that case, it would be beyond the capabilities of sixteen divine masters," Lu Bu explained, bowing.
"According to you, it makes no difference whether everyone enters the Gate of Life or the Gate of Death?" Gale Ghost King asked, frowning.
“That’s right. Before the Gate of Life is locked, all the God Lords who enter the Eight Gates Killing Formation must bear the pressure of the Gate of Life turning into the Gate of Death. That’s why two God Lords need to enter together so that they can look after each other. Moreover, other God Lords must also enter the formation as soon as they have the chance.”
"With each additional person who breaks the formation, the formation's strength will be further strained. In fact, the most difficult part is the first few gates. As more gods enter the formation later, the pressure on everyone will naturally decrease."
"However, if there are other demon lords on the other side besides the Decapitation Demon Lord, the outcome is hard to predict. After all, we don't know how much power the Decapitation Demon Lord has. If he can gather the strength of more than two god lords in any one of the sects, this formation will not be able to be broken."
“Although we can make arrangements at the loopholes in the formation to disperse its power, after careful consideration, I believe that without at least sixteen Divine Lords, we can forget about breaking this formation,” Lu Bu nodded.
At this point, the people present finally understood the details of the Eight Gates Killing Formation. It was indeed an extremely dangerous formation. You could break the formation by following the Gate of Life, but the Gate of Life was not immutable. As long as someone broke the formation, the eight gates would change according to the will of the formation master.
The life and death are exchanged. The Mahayana cultivator who enters the formation must withstand the strangulation of the formation. Once the Decapitation Demon Lord appears, he must be defeated and the formation's core flag removed before the Eight Gates Formation can be considered broken.
"If that's the case, then let's not stay here any longer. Let's go back to the camp and discuss how to ask for outside help," said the Lord of Reclaiming the Sea, glancing at Wang Yao and the others.
Indeed, according to Lü Bu, there's no point in everyone just sitting here chatting. The immediate problem is where to invite a dozen or so Mahayana practitioners over, which is not something that can be solved by everyone just standing here.
"Then... should we continue?" Zhang Liang pointed to his men who were busy in the nearby jungle and looked at Wang Yao uncertainly.
"Keep going. This formation will eventually be broken. Once it's all cleared out, we'll take another look," Wang Yao ordered.
To be honest, he was still skeptical of what Lü Bu said. A formation set up by a Mahayana cultivator would require sixteen Mahayana cultivators to break, even if that was under the premise of knowing how to break the formation. It just seemed a bit unreliable no matter how he thought about it.
Once we find the gate of life, we might have to try again to be sure, Wang Yao thought to himself.
"I won't go there for now. I don't have much of a relationship with the gods, and I also need to control so many puppets. I'll report back to you, Immortal King, after I've thoroughly tested this formation," Lu Ban said, seeing that everyone was determined to leave.
"That's fine then. I'll have to trouble Master Lu. When the Gate of Life appears, please let me know so we can all come and take a look together." Wang Yao cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Ban.
"No problem." Lu Ban nodded with a smile.
Everyone turned and left the road, returning to the camp of the Lord of Reclamation. Although the Lord of Reclamation was no longer a lone commander, the camp was still much simpler than before. There was only a felt mat inside, and some snacks, which looked like some kind of beans, were placed on the ground next to the mat.
"Tell me about it. I'll discuss breaking the formation with Shooting Sun and the others, but I can't guarantee it will be effective. After all, even if the Demon Realm stops attacking now, I think it's unlikely that they'll all leave this divine domain and come here," the Lord of Filling the Sea said as soon as he entered the tent.
“Even if the five of them, including She Ri, come together, they will still be far from the number of Mahayana cultivators needed. I have nothing to do with Mahayana cultivation. I’ll ask Wei Zheng later and see if he has any ideas.” Wang Yao shook his head.
Although he had met the Heavenly Emperor once and knew Zhao Cai, the warden of the Zhenxie Heavenly Prison, even a fool could tell that with such a small amount of interaction, it was probably impossible to persuade these two Mahayana cultivators.
Actually, there's something we can do about Zhao Cai. He's probably tired of being a jailer and would like to have a reason to go out and have some fun. The key is that Fairy Li Xian is a problem. Unless she settles her own karmic debt to Zhao Cai, he probably won't be willing to help him break the Eight Gates Killing Formation.
But the Heavenly Emperor… well, let’s not even think about it. How could he possibly come to the Realm of Gods and Demons to break the formation? He’d be fighting with his wife and friends… wait a minute! I wonder if the Fairy Maiden has finished her postpartum confinement? With the Fairy Maiden’s connections, finding a dozen or so Mahayana cultivators in the Heavenly Court shouldn’t be difficult, right?
"Father, may I ask another question? Why must we attack this Decapitation Demon City? We've already reclaimed the Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm and even reached the gates of the Decapitation Demon City. Haven't we taken over the Decapitation Demon Realm as well? What more do we want?"
