Chapter 638 The Rise and Fall of the Tide: Breaking Through the Formation (Part 2)
"How dare a mere Core Formation cultivator oppose my Qiantang Water Mansion?"

General Xuanlian brandished his iron fork, and with a surge of demonic energy, he stirred up a raging wave that rushed straight towards Su Che.

However, this time the waves once again grazed Su Che's body.

"I already said that."

Su Che looked at the black fish spirit in front of him and said, "There is a monster hidden in your formation."

"A monster? I am a monster."

General Xuanlian brandished his iron fork, rousing himself to guide the demonic energy of the countless aquatic creatures...

"Haven't you noticed yet? Every swing you make lands right next to me."

Su Che gently flicked the blade of the nameless longsword in his palm.

"Do you think I'm the one who'll hide, or is there something wrong with your formation?"

"A bunch of nonsense."

General Xuanlian brandished his iron fork and activated the formation with all his might, creating three waves of water that attacked Su Che in a triangular formation. However, two of the waves collided with each other in mid-air, while the third wave flew past Su Che dozens of feet away.

"Don't you understand?"

Su Che looked at the black fish spirit and said, "That demon's magic has already entered your formation."

General Xuanlian stared blankly at the iron fork in his hand.

This...what is going on.

The fact that Su Che dodged the previous attacks could be explained by the fact that the kid was agile and managed to evade them.

However, in that attack just now, his own divine will drove the formation perfectly without any problem, but the direction of the attack was too far off.

Is there something wrong with our own magical power, or... is there really someone else influencing this formation?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.

General Xuanlian knew his own situation well. This Heavenly Piercing Yuan Formation was personally passed down by the Dragon Lord of Qiantang. It had never been a problem to use it against enemies in the past. He himself had used the formation to kill several experts who had achieved the Rejuvenation Core stage.

There is definitely some force disrupting the formation.

General Xuanlian carefully sensed the laws governing the operation of the demons within the formation.

Countless streams of demonic energy emanated from different aquatic creatures, echoing each other like intertwined threads that eventually twisted into a giant net...

The principle behind the Heavenly Rift Formation is to condense the demonic energy of numerous aquatic creatures into a large net, directly interfering with the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy), and transforming it into an aid to attack and kill opponents.

Placed at sea, it can stir up towering waves; if in the sky, it will become a fierce wind that stretches for thousands of miles.

If all the different departments practice this formation together, its power will be even greater.

Could this kid be some kind of demonic sorcerer, and I've accidentally fallen under his illusion?
General Xuanlian looked at the iron fork in his hand, and for a moment he couldn't see it clearly.

Su Che looked at Xuan Lian and continued speaking.

"Fellow Daoist, the demon has already infiltrated your formation. Take my advice and you should cease your fighting for now, otherwise you may face further troubles."

"Ridiculous! I am a general in the Qiantang Dragon Palace. How could you, a sorcerer, possibly intimidate me with a few words?"

General Xuanlian roared angrily, but did not make a move for a long time.

Su Che chuckled inwardly.

With the help of the principles of the Creation Sword Intent, he had clearly seen the foundation of this formation. The true nature of this formation should still lie in the dynamic and static methods among the Nine Methods of Heaven and Man.

Using the Great Demon of Rejuvenation as a node, it guides the demonic essence and magical power of countless demons, causing them to surge and harmonize into a stronger force, which is then allocated through the central hub.

The most important thing about the whole system is synergy.

Combining the magical power of countless demons into one is easier said than done. Just now, the fathead fish didn't even unleash the full power of this formation, or rather, according to the original principles of the formation, it's impossible for it to combine the magical power of all the demons together.

To achieve this, all the demons must be of one mind, and the person in charge of the formation must have an extremely high level of understanding of the formation.

Such a person might be found a few in the East Sea Sword Palace today, but such talent is nowhere to be found in the Qiantang Water Palace. The magical power wielded by this black fish spirit is only one-tenth of the entire grand formation, or even less than one-tenth.

Because they cannot guide the power of thousands of demons, they focus their energy on restraining and guiding the combined power of numerous demons. When they actually make a move, they lack the most subtle changes in the formation.

The material could have been made into a thousand flying swords, but now it's being forged into a broken hammer that no one can wield and that could crush you to death if you're not careful.

This was Su Che's assessment of the black fish spirit's formation before him.

What I just did was to disrupt the trajectory of the black fish spirit's magical power with my refined sword intent the instant it made its move, thus subtly altering the direction of its power.

Sure enough, the lack of precise control over the formation immediately led to a result that was slightly off by a large margin, and two opposing forces even collided with each other.

At this moment, the waterspout before Su Che was no longer the unparalleled formation of the Dragon Palace, but a prison that a group of demons had created for themselves.

With such crude methods, it's no wonder they lost vast territories in the East China Sea and can only eke out a living by relying on the Central Plains.

Suddenly, a gigantic figure, twelve feet tall, emerged from within the tornado. This creature had a blue face and fangs, its body covered in red hair, and it held a huge iron rod in its hand. It was none other than a powerful Water-Dividing Yaksha.

"Red hair..."

Xuanlian glanced at the suddenly appearing sea yaksha and knew that this guy had probably complained to the dragon prince and was deliberately coming to annoy him.

"General Xuan, do not panic. I, Chifa, will come to your aid."

The red-haired yaksha raised its iron rod high, channeling its demonic power just like the black carp, and slammed the rod down from the air, creating waves.

"Kind words can't save a damned ghost. Since you've come to this, don't blame me for not warning you. Beware of demonic possession!"

As Su Che spoke, he raised the nameless longsword in his hand and slashed through the air.

A profound sword intent pierced the air and lightly struck the waterspout that soared into the sky.

not good.

Xuanlian knew something was wrong. At that moment, he felt a powerful force coming from both above and below, as if two giant hammers were constantly pounding on his hard-forged demon body.

Within his chest and abdomen, the demon core, formed by plundering the essence of heaven and earth, throbbed incessantly, as if it were about to explode completely under pressure.

The demonic power that he had previously restrained and utilized has now transformed from tranquil river water into boiling molten lava, constantly tearing at and ripping his own vital essence.

What method is this?
General Xuanlian stared intently at Su Che, but his blood and qi were so turbulent that he felt dizzy and couldn't make out the figure in front of him.

"what!"

A scream rang out beside him. It was the Sea-Splitting Yaksha, who had always been at odds with him. Its crimson eyes had popped out of their sockets, and a layer of blood mist exploded around its body as it plummeted into the sea.

Without the guidance of the Sea-Dividing Yaksha, the entire formation immediately began to spiral out of control, and the aquatic monsters that had been patrolling in an orderly manner were thrown into chaos.

Xuanlian was feeling dizzy and disoriented when he suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Damn it, I've finally escaped!"

Amidst the chaos, a giant white-haired ape appeared inside the waterspout, stirring up its true energy and causing the surrounding sea to boil and mountains to shake.

"Hahaha, Nine Revolutions of Profound Skill, watch me break through the barriers!"

Xuanlian's eyes widened in terror. Sure enough, there was a demon lurking within the formation, and it was a water monkey that had grown powerful.

Now I owe four chapters...
