But in the end, he still closed in on the land spirit and the Hairy Tribe Gu Immortals.
Mo Tan Sang did the same.
«Form the battle formation — Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus!» the Lang Ya land spirit roared. Innumerable Gu worms suddenly flashed into existence, teleported over by him, enveloping the land spirit and all the Hairy Tribe Gu Immortals within.
Immediately after, these thousands of suddenly appearing Gu worms all erupted with a dazzling silver light.
The silver light was brilliant and magnificent, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at it.
Mo Tan Sang’s attitude of seeking refuge with the land spirit was much more resolute than Fang Yuan’s. So seeing this mountain-like clump of silver light, he plunged straight into it without any hesitation.
Fang Yuan followed closely behind.
The moment he entered the silver light, Fang Yuan was guided by the Lang Ya land spirit and arrived at the very center together with Mo Tan Sang.
The land spirit’s face was livid. He nodded at Fang Yuan and Mo Tan Sang.
Mo Tan Sang quickly expressed his loyalty: «Lord land spirit, please rest assured. In this battle, I, Mo Tan Sang, on behalf of the Mo Man City of the Northern Plains, will do my utmost, fight to the death, and always stand by your side!»
Fang Yuan remained silent, merely nodding to the Lang Ya land spirit.
The other Hairy Tribe Gu Immortals stood around them.
They did not pay much attention to Mo Tan Sang. Instead, they sized up Fang Yuan, this ‘Hairy Tribe’ Gu Immortal of their own race, casting curious, friendly, and doubtful glances at him.
At the critical moment, the Lang Ya land spirit did not criticize Fang Yuan for transforming into a Hairy Tribe Gu Immortal.
Perhaps, in his heart, he was secretly pleased.
After all, this action of Fang Yuan’s was a positive move to draw closer to the Hairy Tribe.
«No time for idle talk. The three of us will be the main attackers in the upcoming battle,» the Lang Ya land spirit said.
Before his voice faded, the silver light around them had already condensed to its extreme, transforming into a silvery metallic liquid.
The Lang Ya land spirit suddenly began to dance wildly, shouting loudly: «Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus… Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus… Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus!»
After he shouted for the third time, the surrounding silver water abruptly exploded, revealing a space the size of a courtyard.
Inside the space, straight beams of light, large and small, interwove into a massive, three-dimensional Gu formation.
All the Gu Immortals were assigned by the Lang Ya land spirit, spaced apart from each other, each occupying a node in the formation.
At the same time, a layer of faint silver light shrouded the bodies of Fang Yuan, Mo Tan Sang, the land spirit, and the Hairy Tribe Gu Immortals.
From the perspective of the outside Gu Immortal Hei Cheng, the Lang Ya land spirit formed the formation very quickly. First, silver light burst forth, followed by the eruption of silver liquid, surging outward like a tide.
Finally, this silver liquid suddenly rolled back, solidifying in an instant into a metal giant several dozen zhang tall, with a silver body and three heads and six arms.
The giant slowly opened its eyes. Like a god or demon awakening, an invisible momentum suddenly burst forth, covering the sky for dozens of li in radius.
«This… is actually an ancient battle formation!» Fang Yuan was in the space opened up inside the silver giant, his vision completely shared with the giant’s.
The first thing he saw was the shocked expression on Hei Cheng's face, and even Qin Bai Sheng's face showed a slight hint of surprise.
The Lang Ya land spirit, located at the central main node of the formation, smiled smugly and said with pride: «My Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus battle formation, even in ancient times, was the second most powerful battle formation in the world! It was only inferior to the Golden Brahma Heavenly Saint. In this battle formation, our strengths are all combined, as if we are fused into one. Our soul foundations are superimposed, our immortal essence is shared, and with a single thought, everyone can instantly perceive it.»
Thus, there was no fear of Qin Bai Sheng's immortal killer move, Soul Pressure!
Qin Bai Sheng's Soul Pressure killer move relied on using one's own soul foundation to crush others.
But at this moment, Fang Yuan and the others were jointly operating the Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus formation, their souls effectively stacked together. Even if Qin Bai Sheng's Soul Pressure had some effect, it absolutely could not play the decisive role anymore.
«Interesting. The Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus. I never expected it to be in the hands of the Long Hair Ancestor,» Qin Bai Sheng said, sitting back and watching the giant take shape without making a move. His reaction was somewhat strange, his gaze studying the giant and revealing an appreciative look.
«This is an ancient battle formation, the pinnacle achievement of the Dao of Formations. It allows Gu Immortals to cooperate and stack their combat power. But due to historical reasons, this type of battle formation has all been submerged in the river of time! I never thought that today, I would be able to witness it with my own eyes,» Hei Cheng said emotionally. «But it’s not surprising, after all, the Long Hair Ancestor is a historical figure, capable of collecting such an ancient battle formation.»
«Stop sighing and deal with it,» Qin Bai Sheng lightly sighed and commanded.
Hei Cheng's expression froze. He looked at Qin Bai Sheng in disbelief. «You… you want me to go alone against this giant? Do you know, it is a hulking behemoth formed by more than a dozen Gu Immortals joining hands!»
Qin Bai Sheng snorted coldly. «You saw it yourself. Right now, I have to use all my power to seize the Immortal Gu Cauldron and cannot make a move. This is your chance to shine. I don’t expect you to crush this giant, just hold it off for a while. You have the Immortal Gu House Black Prison on you. This shouldn’t be difficult. If we succeed this time, I will not only heal all the hidden ailments on your body, but I will also let you escape the crisis of your lifespan ending and grant you a large portion of longevity.»
Qin Bai Sheng's tone was filled with pressure and intimidation. At the same time, it contained a temptation that Hei Cheng found hard to refuse!
Hei Cheng's eyes narrowed, and his breathing involuntarily became heavy.
He was also very shrewd and cunning, knowing that Qin Bai Sheng was using him as a pawn.
At this, Hei Cheng felt angry, but also helpless.
Because his weakness was held firmly in Qin Bai Sheng's hands. The huge benefits promised by Qin Bai Sheng forced Hei Cheng to comply.
«Pour your immortal essence into the battle formation together!» the Lang Ya land spirit commanded as he shouted, «Heavenly Essence Treasure Lotus, charge!»
The colossal silver giant, silent and soundless, suddenly moved, charging fiercely straight towards Qin Bai Sheng.
