Chapter 228: The Mountain and Water Formation is activated, and the power of the evil god is still...
The formation was activated, and the evil god's power almost dissipated before it reached Xu Hui.
This is not about how strong the formation's defense is, but about the power of rules.
Since the summoning sacrificial formation was signed between Venerable Xuanjian and the evil god, then when the contract is reached, he must fulfill Venerable Xuanjian's wish, or at least not go against his wishes.
Therefore, no matter how hard the evil god tried, no matter how powerful his force was, he could not cause any harm to Xu Hui. He disappeared without a trace before he could hurt Xu Hui.
It's just like in the game, the damage is ineffective against your teammates.
The evil god was furious. Seeing that Xu Hui's body was transforming faster and faster, he thought that if this continued, all the soul beads would be absorbed by her, so he immediately took a risky move.
Since there are rules and he can't do anything to Xu Hui, he will break the rules that shackle him.
The method is also very simple, destroy the sacrificial formation.
Anyway, in the Endless Abyss, he would not be teleported back after the formation was destroyed.
Therefore, he struck with force, impacting the sacrificial formation.
This formation itself was not a very powerful one, and under the attack of the evil god's dark power, it soon began to crumble.
But the formation is to restrain both parties after all. As long as Master Xuanjian does not fall, the formation can be maintained.
He is just a Mahayana cultivator, and his power is far inferior to that of the evil god.
What's more, the evil god has been plundering the Qilin's power through the Netherworld Cold Flame, making it increasingly difficult for Venerable Xuanjian to maintain his power.
The others could only help him as much as possible, continuously transmitting spiritual power to him, and barely resisting the attacks of the evil god.
His strength was draining away faster and faster, and before long his spiritual energy was completely used up. However, in the Endless Abyss, he could not replenish his spiritual energy by absorption, and could only keep swallowing pills and various spiritual fruits to try and hold on.
They are just wasting time now. The longer they delay, the better. Once Xu Hui finishes absorbing the energy, they will win.
Fortunately, each of them is either a Mahayana cultivator or a person of outstanding talent, and they have no shortage of good things in their hands.
Especially since Mu Yuan and Lei Xiao are the young masters and the leaders of the team exploring the secret realm, a large amount of materials are stored in their hands for distribution at any time.
Before being caught in the time tunnel, they only regarded this as an experiment, not the last cycle, so they did not waste time and sent back the family supplies they had.
Unexpectedly, everything was like a wild horse running out of control, and the changes came so suddenly.
But they also left behind a large amount of supplies, ensuring a steady supply.
This is also one of the keys to their certainty that this method is feasible. As long as the replenishment is timely enough and it is ensured that Venerable Xuanjian always has the power to maintain the operation of the formation, the evil god will not be able to do anything to Xu Hui.
And this is indeed the case. The evil god attacked for a long time, but the formation was only crumbling, like a candle in the wind, appearing and disappearing from time to time, but stubbornly existing.
The evil god was extremely angry, but he could do nothing.
Just at this moment, Qilin used all his strength to disappear and suddenly spit out a golden flame in the direction of the Netherworld Cold Flame.
The flame was golden, carrying merit and strong green vitality. As it approached the Netherworld Cold Flame, it quickly enveloped it.
No matter how hard it struggled, it could not get rid of the golden ball.
The Netherworld Cold Flame shook desperately, emitting a strong aura of the Dark World, trying to extinguish the golden ball, but it could only shrink it a bit, and then it slowly seeped into it and entered the inner flame.
The evil god was shocked. He didn't understand how Qilin could achieve this when he was already imprisoned.
According to the rules of the retrograde contract, it should not be able to harm the Netherworld Cold Flame.
In a panic, the evil god did not think much and released dark evil energy, rushing towards the Netherworld Cold Flame, wanting to help it get rid of the golden flame that was gradually approaching the core of the Netherworld Cold Flame.
But as soon as it got close, the golden flame seemed to be summoned, and it immediately shot out a large section, violently absorbing the dark evil energy, and burning towards it.
The evil god was shocked and immediately cut off his power and stopped attacking.
He took a closer look and was horrified. "It's actually the power of life!"
As an evil god, his power is not restrained by traditional bright forces, such as the golden light of merit and virtue, or the auspicious aura of the Qilin.
Those can have an impact on him, but they are definitely not natural enemies.
The only natural enemy is actually the force of vitality.
It is responsible for destruction and invasion of evil, while the force of vitality is just the opposite, it is responsible for growth and elimination of evil.
In short, it is something that naturally restrains him!
But the Qilin is already in a soul state and has no entity, which means it is not a living creature. Where does its vitality come from?
He was filled with rage and could not help but increase the power of absorption, but he found that Qilin's soul had almost become a shadow, so dim that it seemed like it would disappear at any time.
This is wrong!
This is a divine beast. Even if its power has been weakened by a large margin, its soul will not be so weak.
unless......
He suddenly thought of a possibility and blurted out, "Then the vitality is the life force of those monsters? Yes! That's right!"
Who else can produce such rich vitality except the plant spirits raised by Qilin?
But the problem is, they are all mature spirits that have become immortals. How could they be so desperate as to sacrifice their vitality just to extinguish such a trivial matter as the Netherworld Cold Flame?
The vitality of the goblins cannot be plundered in any way unless they voluntarily contribute their vitality, completely degenerate into ordinary plants, and then quickly age and wither.
Otherwise, even Qilin, their master, would not be able to order them to do so.
What's more, this Qilin is a fool. He raised a whole group of plant spirits as numerous as Sumeru mustard seeds, but never signed a master-servant contract with them. He allowed them to grow freely and had almost no restraint on the spirits.
The death of Qilin will not affect the immortal monsters. As long as they leave the Sumeru mustard seed in advance, they can take all their kind away according to their strength as immortals.
The evil god really couldn't understand why the Qilin had been dead for so long, but those monsters were still staying in the Sumeru mustard seed.
He had previously thought that only those monsters that had not yet been civilized and transformed were left. Unexpectedly, there were actually some truly formed ones hidden among them. It was his shortsightedness that missed the real good stuff.
"Okay, okay! It turned out that I was wrong. Well, since you are so reckless, then wait until I become a Qilin and then you will be my nourishment!" said the evil god viciously.
These damn monsters actually sacrificed their lives to help Qilin. No wonder Qilin was bound by the rules and could still spit out flames that were detrimental to the Netherworld Cold Flame.
This is because these flames are created by the burning vitality of plant spirits, not from the Qilin.
They have no contract with Qilin and are naturally not bound by the law of retrograde movement.
But when it was spit out from Qilin's mouth, Qilin suffered a backlash, and its mind and soul became unstable, and it almost died.
This is really rare. A beast like the Qilin brings vitality wherever it goes. It often accumulates a lot of merit and virtue, and will never be destroyed.
Even if you die, you will be reincarnated one day, and you will be rich and prosperous, happy and worry-free throughout your life and death. In short, it is an extremely good fate.
But this damn Qilin actually gave up on reincarnation and was determined to destroy his plan even at the risk of his soul being torn to pieces!
Fine, fine! Then don't blame him for annihilating them all!
It just so happens that the vitality of the plant spirits is the nourishment for the growth of the Qilin. By devouring all their vitality, he will be able to grow at the fastest speed!
The evil god became ruthless and planned to destroy all the ungrateful monsters along with them.
He simply let go of the absorption, intending to absorb all of the remaining power of the Qilin before the flame of vitality extinguished the cold flame of the underworld, so as to prevent it from being wasted and its soul being shattered.
Qilin's soul was getting fainter and fainter, and Xu Hui was extremely anxious. Unfortunately, her body was taken over by the system, and she could do nothing but worry.
Originally they were on opposite sides, and Xu Hui was determined to attack Qilin no matter how much she couldn't bear it.
But there is an enemy named the evil god. She and Qilin are on the same side, and he is also her benefactor who has saved her many times. How can Xu Hui watch Qilin's soul really fly away?
She had made so many plans before, most of which were to sink the Qilin into the endless abyss to keep it away from the world of cultivation, and none of them was to kill it completely.
What's more, she is still undergoing the transformation of the Qilin Soul Pearl and embarking on the path to becoming a god. This is a great fortune. No matter whether she is reluctant or not, it is a great blessing.
Xu Hui was anxious and frantically called the system, "Is there any way to stop this?"
No matter what, let's save the Qilin's life and give it a chance to be reborn, right?
[Ding, after careful calculation, the matter is a foregone conclusion, the possibility of change is no more than 1%! ]
"There's still 1%, which means there's still a way, right?" Xu Hui immediately heard the hidden meaning and said in surprise.
[Ding, abandon the transformation plan. Use sufficient vitality to nourish the soul bead so that it can absorb the soul of the Qilin and evolve into a new Qilin!]
Xu Hui's eyes suddenly brightened, and she asked in surprise, "There is such a method. Why didn't you tell me before?"
If she had known this method existed, why would she have accepted the transformation?
[Ding, after calculation, the probability of success is no more than one in a thousand. Host is not recommended to use this.]
"Wait a minute, didn't you say there was a 10% chance before? How did it suddenly become a 1/1000 chance? Is there something wrong with your system? Is there something wrong with the algorithm or the data?"
[Ding, host, please refrain from unwarranted suspicion of the system. Given the fundamental differences in the problems, the probability of successfully preventing the Qilin Soul from dispersing and successfully guiding its evolution and rebirth are naturally vastly different. The system is operating flawlessly, and the algorithm is accurate.]
Xu Hui understood that even if she could stop him, the probability of Qilin being reborn would be even smaller.
The variable here is Qilin!
Let me put it this way, after preventing the soul from dispersing, Qilin may be reincarnated, but it is hard to say what it will be reincarnated into. It may be a fly or a plant.
But it has reached the brink of death, which is equivalent to the merits dissipating with the dissipation of the soul. When it is reborn, it will be an ordinary soul without any special treatment.
And the merits it has accumulated over tens of thousands of years...actually benefited Xu Hui, because the soul bead merged with her.
The Heavenly Dao will recognize Xu Hui, but it may not necessarily recognize the Qilin who was reborn as another species.
And that one in a thousand probability is the price Xu Hui has to pay for giving up the soul pearl and using it to help Qilin regenerate into a real Qilin.
The large amount of merit carried on the soul bead naturally belongs to the Qilin, and it also has the opportunity to start over.
In other words, Xu Hui will give up the opportunity to become a god, give up a lot of merits, and become penniless!
No, no, no, it's not just that, she also needs to contribute rich vitality!
Where does vitality come from?
Xu Hui's breath was choked. There was nothing in the Endless Abyss, so the only thing left was... her planting space and those monsters!
This means that Xu Hui has to give up everything just to bet on that one in a thousand chance!
[Ding, the system advises the host to carefully consider this plan. This plan is costly, has little benefit, has a very low success rate, and has no direct benefit to the host personally.]
Xu Hui fell into a brief moment of contemplation, then slowly spoke with a hint of resentment in her voice, "So, because of this, you chose to conceal this method?"
[Ding, the system always adheres to the principle of non-interference. Unless the host actively asks, it will not provide any misleading advice without authorization!]
Silence, Xu Hui continued to remain silent, MMT, system you idiot!
If she had known there was this method, why would she be so desperate? Damn it!
