Chapter 1126 East Sea Army vs Illusory Beasts, First Clash

Why is there a teleportation formation here? Is this perhaps something that the old man set up before engaging in the life and death battle with the Earth Immortal Realm Expert from the Blue Sea Empire, or is it perhaps something that was set up by someone else in the past and the old man just happened to learn about it?

Watching as the teleportation formation was slowly being drawn on the floor of the abandoned temple, Xuan Hao could not help wondering where the formation had come from.

If it did indeed come from the old man, it should have been set up years in advance, while if it had been set up by someone else, it left up the question of who would set up this kind of formation in the middle of nowhere for no discernible reason.

In the end, the only reason he could think of someone other than the old man setting up the formation, would be if there was some kind of organization inside the Blue Sea Empire that sold these kind of hidden teleportation formations to the different people who had ended up being wanted by the Blue Sea Empire and were desperate for a way out that didn't involve them getting killed by the border guards of the Blue Sea Empire.

Considering the fact that the people wanted by the Blue Sea Empire would likely pay far more than the formation itself was worth, it would be quite a profitable business. Of course, there was always the danger of being discovered by the Blue Sea Empire by doing it but given how many treasures and spirit stones one could earn, Xuan Hao didn't doubt that there would be quite a few people interested in doing something like that. Even at the risk of being hunted down by the Blue Sea Empire.

The worst-case scenario would be that the Blue Sea Empire became enraged enough to send a powerful expert proficient in the Dao of Space. After all, with someone like that, it would be impossible to escape with the use of teleportation formations, as someone skilled in the Dao of Space could simply track down the location and follow…

Rumble~

As the formation continued to take shape over the next few hours, parts of the abandoned temple began to crumble. Revealing large intricate formation symbols hidden behind the crumbling walls of the temple. Slowly, the formation began becoming more and more complicated. Reaching the point where even Xuan Hao felt a sense of amazement at the profound understanding of the Dao of Space that the creator of the formation had imbued into the formation.

Even with his current comprehension of the Dao of Space, observing the teleportation formation taking shape would help deepen his understanding of the Dao of Space, while at the same time also helping his formation knowledge improve for the first time in a long time.

With this in mind, Xuan Hao didn't bother keeping an eye on the old man and instead focused his full attention on the formation. Not really believing that the old man planned to leave the abandoned temple after having activated the teleportation formation.

…

At the same time Xuan Hao began studying the teleportation formation as it took form inside the old, abandoned temple, the flying ship carrying the people from the East Sea Army arrived at the Fae Mountain Range where the close to a hundred illusory beasts in the Earth Immortal Realm were currently running rampant.

Standing at the bow flying ship, the Earth Immortal Realm Expert that had asked Xuan Hao for information just a short time earlier could not help widening his eyes in disbelief as he stared out at the close to twenty illusory beasts celebrating in the air not too far away. Even from a distance, it was obvious that all of them were in the Earth Immortal Realm. Not only that, but a few of them had even exceeded the level of ordinary Earth Immortal Realm Experts and reached the realm he himself was in.

"To think the situation would be this bad…" Unconsciously muttering this to himself as his gaze remained locked on the four or so illusory beasts whose strength was comparable to his own, the difficulty of the task assigned to them by the imperial family began to truly set in.

Outside of the East Sea General who had reached the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm, there were only 11 people in the Earth Immortal Realm on the ship, two others like him who had surpassed the realm of ordinary Earth Immortals, while the rest were considered ordinary Earth Immortals.

Even with the help of different combat formations that allowed them to work together and showcase power beyond their original power, taking on the twenty illusory beasts in front of them would already be the limit of what they could accomplish with their current strength, let alone take on the close to hundred illusory Beasts that were said to be present.

Even if the general made a move, I doubt that he would be able to-

Roar!

It was at this moment, while he was lost in his own thoughts thinking about the difficulty of the task in front of him and his comrades, that one of the illusory beasts discovered the massive flying ship approaching them-

Roooaar-!

ROAR!

Rooar-!

Almost instantly following the first illusory beast's roar, the rest of the twenty illusory beasts turned around and began roaring threatening towards the incoming flying ship. Clearly having perceived the threat posed by the people on top of the flying ship.

"Everyone, get ready for battle!" Narrowing both his eyes after seeing the large number of illusory beasts getting ready to jump on them, he gave out a simple command to the rest of the soldiers present on the ship.

Whoosh-!

Whoosh-!

Whoosh-!

Instantly causing all of the Earth Immortal Realm Experts except for the East Sea General to rush to the bow of the ship. Ready to face the illusory beast.

Rumble~

Not too long after the Earth Immortal Realm Experts arrived at the bow of the ship ready to face the illusory beasts, the weaker soldiers below the Earth Immortal Realm began activating the different offensive and defensive formations on the ship. Even if they couldn't directly participate in the battle, they would do their best to support from the side with the help of the powerful formation etched into the flying ship!

ROOOOAR-!

Not too long after all the formations had been activated, the first illusory beast dashed forward to face the incoming flying ship-

Boom-boom-boom!

Soon enough, the sound of fighting echoed out across the Fae Mountain Range as the soldiers from the East Sea Army clashed with the illusory beasts for the first time-

Roar-!

Rooooaaar-!

However, as time passed, more and more illusory beasts were drawn to the scene of the battle, causing the original twenty or so illusory beasts to grow to over forty with more illusory beasts rapidly rushing over after realizing that someone was daring enough to attack them.

"This- How are there so many of them!? Not to mention illusory beasts comparable to us, there is even an illusory beast at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm approaching!" freewe bnovel .com

As the number of illusory beasts attacking the soldiers of the East Sea Army continued to grow, one of the three Earth Immortals who had surpassed the realm of ordinary Earth Immortals could not help exclaiming in fear as he sensed the presence of an illusory beast at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm.

"We have to retreat!"

"Everyone, fall back to the ship!"

Of course, he was not the only one who sensed the terrifying illusory beast at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm, as the rest of the Earth Immortals also sensed it, causing all of them to rapidly retreat back to the flying ship where they could at least enjoy the protection of the countless defensive formations etched into the ship.

Rooar-!

Seeing them retreating, the illusory beasts all let out triumphant roars as they began working together to attack the defensive formations on the flying ship-

Crack-!

Not taking long before causing a few cracks to appear on the formation. After all, even if the formation protecting the flying ship was powerful, there was no way it would be able to hold up for an extended period of time when faced with the combined attack of over forty illusory beasts in the Earth Immortal Realm.

ROOOOOOAR-!

As if to make matters worse, the illusory beast at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm appeared at this moment. Inspiring fear among the soldiers on the deck of the ship, be they Earth Immortals or not, as it used its mastery over the Dao of Illusions to create a massive illusory construct large than the flying ship itself in the shape of a claw to attack.

"Haaa…"

However, just before the massive claw reached the formation guarding the flying ship, a loud sigh echoed out from the depths of the ship, as a terrifying power rushed out and restrained the claw before it could hit the formation.
