Chapter 2572 Transformation into Myriad Forms
The four True Venerables formed a cone-shaped battle formation, with True Venerable Qu at the tip, leading the way, followed by the three True Venerables wielding their aura of creation.

As for guiding and coordinating with the aura of creation... although we've never coordinated before, it's really not a big deal.

The magical energy contained in the roots of the ugly tree is actually nothing special, but in the outside world, it would be absolutely rare and precious.

An attack imbued with the aura of creation, though not particularly powerful, swiftly struck forward.

That's right, it was just a light touch. Although the force wasn't bad, it was considered slight for an attack at the Out-of-Body level.

After the first strike, the force didn't recede; instead, it changed direction and launched a second strike, then a third...

After the sixth strike was delivered, the great formation trembled violently, and all the violent energy instantly receded.

The energy release was so violent that it even caused the defensive formation where Qu Jianlei and his group were located to shake twice.

The formation contained not only chaotic energy but also relatively hard debris, which was also swept up and sprayed outwards.

"Still in the void!" Jin Ge raised his hand, and a huge golden wheel flew out.

Then the golden wheel made two strange turns, and the next moment it exploded with a bang.

This was a probing attack, purely intended to confuse the four people's orientation and influence the opponent's perception and judgment.

In this situation, they can't pretend to be dead—and it wouldn't work anyway, given the other side's experience, they would definitely be on guard against this tactic.

So why not just throw a random shot? Maybe it will cause some damage. After all, we're just killing time, aren't we?

"The void..." Han Li narrowed his eyes. "This surrounding area seems to have changed quite a bit?"

"Watch out!" Yugiri warned in time, "There's a spatial fluctuation ahead!"

The next moment, a huge palace appeared, the very one that Han Li had attacked earlier.

The palace, which had been shielded by a thin protective shield, now had lost its protective glow, and the marks left by the seven-colored lightning were clearly visible.

At the same time, the faint oppressive aura emanating from the palace also disappeared.

If it weren't for the slightly weathered and old-fashioned feel, it would really be just so-so!

Qu Jianlei pulled out an array plate, which was called "Mountain Cutting," and was about to throw it out when Han Li spoke up, "Leave it to me!"

The next moment, another seven-colored lightning bolt struck straight towards the palace.

"Gone with the wind..." With a wave of his sleeve, Yugiri completely concealed the four of them, and reappeared millions of kilometers away.

This is her spatial teleportation technique, both illusory and real. When you think it's fake, it might actually be real, and vice versa.

The seven-colored lightning once again entangled the palace, shattering it into pieces with a single strike.

"Damn it..." Han Li laughed in exasperation upon seeing this, "There are even illusions, what a clever trick!"

His seven-colored lightning was a genuine attack at the Nascent Soul level, but the opponent's palace was definitely of the same level.

Such a successful attack can only mean that the opponent is an illusion!
However, what the opponent used was an illusion; his lightning was real.

The treasure in his hand could only unleash three similar attacks at most, so it's no wonder he was angry.

"What illusion?" A divine sense slowly transmitted over, unhurriedly, "Han Li, you still have time to retreat!"

"The grievances have their perpetrators, and the debts have their debtors. We are only looking for Qu Zhenzun; this has nothing to do with you!"

The next moment, more than ten palaces appeared in the void, each one incredibly detailed and impossible to be fake.

Then, more palaces gradually appeared, densely packed together.

“It can transform into countless forms,” Jin Ge couldn’t help but exclaim, “This palace is truly… No matter, we’ll take it down one by one!”

The ability to transform into countless forms is also a kind of supernatural power, which can be used by the True Venerable of Astral Projection, but this kind of supernatural power is not very significant.

Most True Venerables condense several clones, which is sufficient for their basic needs.

Even the Thousand Illusions True Venerable, who frequently uses clones, wouldn't bother to figure out this ability to transform into countless forms, because it's not very practical.

When this supernatural power attacks an opponent, it can indeed achieve the effect of outnumbering them, but the attack power will inevitably be weakened.

Another drawback of having countless incarnations is that the destruction of each incarnation will cause some damage to the original body.

This kind of supernatural power has both obvious advantages and disadvantages, so there's really no need to spend a lot of effort figuring it out during the Astral Projection stage.

Taking Qianhuan as an example again, it takes him a considerable amount of resources to create a clone, and the destruction of the clone can also slightly damage the original body.

However, he still did not cultivate the ability to transform into countless forms, because mastering supernatural powers also requires a lot of time to comprehend.

Once the countless clones that can transform into one body are destroyed, the damage to the original body is far greater than that caused by ordinary clones.

Therefore, it would be better to spend more resources to create two decent clones, which would not cause much harm to oneself and would not require wasting time on enlightenment.

However, once you reach the Divine Transformation stage, it's too easy to create countless forms; there's no need to deliberately study it.

However, even so, the True Lord rarely uses this move – except when facing a massive siege, there is basically no need to use it.

The fact that the opponent used this move suggests that the Great Khan projected his corresponding divine power into the palace, which could be used in a moment of panic.

This is an empowerment of the magic weapon. Even if there is damage, it will only affect the palace and will have nothing to do with the Great Lord himself.

Jin Ge understood, but he wasn't too concerned. Although the ability to transform into countless clones was troublesome, he just needed to destroy them as much as possible.

Once enough clones are destroyed, the magic weapon itself will eventually give out.

"Heh," Han Li scoffed dismissively at the other party's advice.

The next moment, he expressionlessly manipulated the seven-colored lightning, which swept towards the second palace.

Then came the third, the fourth...

Even before these palaces could transform into countless forms, they couldn't withstand the seven-colored lightning; now, they are being destroyed one after another.

However, the merchant alliance did not react, but just watched silently, as if to say: Let's see how many magical artifact clones you can destroy!

Before long, some of the clones that had been scattered and disappeared began to reappear.

"Han Li..." True Venerable Xi Wu couldn't help but exclaim, "Control your strength!"

"I know what I'm doing," Han Li replied calmly. "Don't worry!"

He knew perfectly well that his opponent wanted to deplete his energy. However, this wasn't something he was consuming himself; it was something he was using up one less time at a time.

Rather than abruptly stopping and wasting our remaining strength, we might as well fight back.

In fact, he highly suspected that the other party's "incarnation of countless forms" was something that could only be used once and for the least amount of time.

So let's just see who can outlast whom, he'll definitely not lose out!
In the blink of an eye, the seven-colored lightning swept away more than a hundred palaces, and the people of the Merchant Alliance could no longer remain calm.

A cold snort rang out, and five figures suddenly appeared in the void, their silhouettes indistinct and unclear.

The five figures are arranged in a triangular pyramid shape, with one figure in the center, which is the distribution of the "Starry Sky Three Talents Formation".

The mobile defensive formation of Qu Jianlei and his three companions was still intact, but the five figures remained silent as a black lightning bolt struck down fiercely.

Strictly speaking, it's not lightning, but rather a black line similar to those fired by the Tree Clan, an attack capable of tearing through space.

This attack was incredibly swift, striking the protective shield squarely.
The shield trembled violently twice, managing to withstand the blow, but judging from its current state, it could only withstand two more attacks at most.

"Fight back!" Qu Jianlei commanded, simultaneously maneuvering the defensive formation to escape, "Buy me time to set up my own formation!"

Normally, when a mountain-protecting formation is destroyed, the cultivators inside either fight desperately or flee for their lives, but this time it's different.

The array set up by Qu Jianlei is comparable to a Nascent Soul level mountain-protecting array, but this array has a small protective area and can be moved.

In this situation, besides repairing it promptly, he can also choose to build a new formation as soon as possible; it's simply a matter of speed.

Unfortunately, although the formation can be moved, the speed at which it moves is... rather unbearable.

Immediately afterwards, a second black lightning bolt struck the protective shield, causing an even more violent tremor.

While directing the formation to counterattack, Jin Ge frantically repaired it and replenished his spirit stones—the consumption was simply too great.

It's fortunate that it was the Sorcerer who made the move; even a True Venerable might not be able to skillfully control the formation, let alone repair it.

Qu Jianlei, on the other hand, was focused on setting up the new formation, and it seemed that he had great faith in his teammates' abilities.

Han Li went even further, single-mindedly controlling the seven-colored lightning to destroy palace after palace, without any distractions.

A third bolt of black lightning struck, causing the defensive array to shake violently, but in the end... it actually withstood it again!
"Delaying time?" The people from Baiyou Business Alliance realized that they seemed to have been tricked, so they snorted coldly.

The next moment, the space trembled, and more than ten triangular pyramids appeared.

It turned out that the Starry Sky Three Talents Formation had also created clones, as the attacking cultivator had used the technique of multiplying into thousands!

The four True Venerables, including Qu Jianlei, were somewhat puzzled by this scene.

Is this supernatural power a method of fighting enemies reflected in the palace, or is there a true master in the Merchant Alliance who has actually cultivated this supernatural power?
However, generally speaking, it is more likely to have originated from a palace.

Even if a True Venerable were bored and mastered this supernatural power, it would be extremely difficult to apply it to a Divine Transformation Treasure.

However, if it is the latter, then the supernatural power can be bestowed upon the cultivator from the magic weapon, which can only be said to be... truly worthy of the Great Lord's handiwork!
The number of Starry Sky Three Talents Formations that were differentiated this time was not large, only a dozen or so.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that we can't differentiate more, but rather that if we differentiate more, it will affect the attack effect!

The combined attack power of the five True Venerables forming the formation has an upper limit; once they are separated, it is not necessarily better to have more of them.

Qu Jianlei accurately judged this point, and at that moment, he quickly set up a second defensive array.

This defensive array is much weaker than the previous one; its defensive strength and movement speed have both decreased, and it no longer contains illusions.

Even so, it was no easy feat. In the blink of an eye, a mountain-protecting array was erected.

Not only did it consume a huge amount of his materials, but it was also thanks to his tireless efforts over the past few days that he was able to rush to produce a number of parts.
