Death... and me

After saying that, Rean stomped his feet on the ground, which immediately activated the formation. At first, Divine Origin Energy began to gather somewhat slowly. However, as the runes activated one after another, more and more energy gathered in the formation.

Each side of the formation was responsible for one thing. The north side generated Yin Energy, while the other generated Yang Energy. At the center of the formation, both energies clashed, ultimately wiping each other away. The impressive thing was that the more those two energies clashed, the more Yin and Yang Energy gathered, with more Divine Origin Energy being used for that to happen.

Rean immediately took distance from the formation as his eyes lit up, saying with great glee, “Behold! The Impractical Yin-Yang Clashing Formation! Hahaha!”

Celis couldn’t help but feel a chill after that and immediately took his roots and vines away from the formation. The clash between those two energies was becoming more and more chaotic with every passing second, to the point where it was dangerous.

Rean then looked at everyone after that before saying, “If you guys don’t want to die, you better stay as far as possible from it.” After saying that, Rean retreated with Celis, Hurio, Kentucky, and Roan. None of them wanted to stay there at all.

Roan couldn’t help but ask, though. “If it’s so destructive, won’t the clashing of those energies destroy the formation itself?”

Rean shook his head as he replied, “Don’t worry. I made it so that the effects of the clash would spread up and to the sides. The formation that’s below that energy is pretty much a safe area. On top of that, the clashing of the energies is also what’s protecting the formation from outside attacks.”

*Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…*

Roan nodded after hearing that, understanding where Rean got the idea from. “You basically copied our Sun and Moon Obliteration, didn’t you?”

Death Style, Seventh Form, Sun and Moon Obliteration! That was a skill the twins used only once, which was fully focused on destructive power. Usually, the twins’ Light and Dark Element, as well as Yin and Yang Energy, would balance and complement each other. However, during that attack, they would forcefully make both sides reject each other. Rean would obviously hold the Yang Energy and Light Element, while Roan would hold the Yin Energy and Dark Element. After that, they would clash against the enemy from both sides, forming a devastating attack. Rean’s formation basically followed the same principle.

The explosion of Yin and Yang Energy increased more and more as time passed. In just a few minutes, the explosions were consuming more Divine Origin Energy than Celis, Rean, Roan, Kentucky, and Hurio combined.

Rean couldn’t help but become satisfied with the results. “Hahaha! This is just the start. Grow, my baby, grow!”

Braga, obviously, noticed that, telling everyone, “All of you, I’ll give the entire immortal cultivation technique as long as you destroy that formation!”

As mentioned before, some of the cultivators were still expecting a chance to get those cultivation techniques from Braga. Wekil offered to take one of them as a disciple, but what were their chances? They didn’t know if Braga would uphold his promise, but the same could be said for Wekil.

Of course, it was indeed just a few of them who decided to take Braga’s side. The rest saw how Rean’s formation was consuming more and more Divine Origin Energy, easily telling that it wouldn’t be long before the formation surpassed all of their efforts together. Didn’t that mean Wekil would eventually win? With that, it made sense that the majority preferred to stay on Wekil’s side.

Rean saw those Transition Realm cultivators launch several long-range attacks, aiming at his formation below the explosions. Unfortunately for them, all those attacks only helped the Yin and Yang Energy become more chaotic, increasing the speed of the explosions. As for the formation, those attacks didn’t get even close.

By the time thirty minutes had passed, everyone was forced to retreat to the edges of the Divine Plane. That’s because the center had become a forbidden zone for anyone. Even Kentucky would die if he went there. “Ahem… Rean… aren’t the explosions getting way too big?”

Rean’s mouth twitched in response. “Errr… you might want to prepare in advance and put up some defensive techniques. Maybe the efficiency of this formation is a bit too good. Then again, to think this place had this much Divine Origin Energy remaining. The formation was supposed to work with Divine Origin Energy only, and it just keeps growing.”

Roan then looked at Kentucky after that. “Meat shield, stay in front to protect us.”

“Fuck you! Why do I have to be the one?” Kentucky obviously didn’t like the order.

“Why else? Your defense is higher than anyone else here! Stop complaining and do it already. Rean and I will use Instant Recovery to heal you every time you get hurt.”

Kentucky knew that it was indeed their best plan. If even he couldn’t protect their group, then everyone would be dead anyway. It’s just that he simply didn’t like how he was called a meat shield. “Fine…”

Inside the chamber, Wekil was ecstatic. His Law-breaking Eye began to advance once again, even though he had little energy left. That showed that Braga had even less energy than him to fight against the eye. “Hahaha! Braga, you didn’t expect that, did you? Don’t worry, it won’t be long before I pay you and your friends a visit. We have a lot to… ‘talk’… about.”

Naturally, Braga was enraged with the current situation. He knew very well how problematic Wekil was. The fact that they succeeded in locking him down was because they succeeded in deceiving him first. Otherwise, they might have never tried in the first place. Eventually, he shouted to the cultivators who were still there, “Kill the guy who created the formation! As long as he dies, I’ll take all of you as disciples and bring you to my territory.”

Well, they did hear Braga’s offer, and it was indeed enticing to them. However, the formation wouldn’t stop because of that. That meant that Wekil would escape regardless. Wouldn’t they die for Wekil because of that? In the end, only those who tried to destroy the formation at first followed his order. After all, they knew Wekil wouldn’t forgive them for trying to stop his escape… or so they wanted to. Unfortunately, the explosions had already reached the borders of the Divine Plane, and they were having a hard time just protecting themselves. Let alone trying to kill Rean.

Suddenly, the sound of something shattering echoed in the area. Even the explosions couldn’t disturb that sound. With that, everyone quickly looked at the sealed chamber…. that was now opening.
