Chapter 574 The Dragon-Trapping Formation
An eighth-level formation naturally requires an eighth-level spirit talisman master to assist in drawing the core formation diagram, but other minor details can still be left to these spirit talisman masters.

To Lin Zhao's delight, after receiving assistance from all the spirit talisman masters of the Western District Legion, the Crimson Flame Legion indicated that their spirit talisman master corps could also contribute.

It would take Lin Zhao at least several months to draw and set up this formation by himself, but it would be a different story with so many spirit talisman masters helping him, especially since the Crimson Flame Army also has an eighth-level spirit talisman master in charge.

With the assistance of this level eight spirit talisman master, it must be said that the tasks assigned by Lin Zhao were completed very quickly. Even if some spirit talisman masters got stuck at a certain point, Lin Zhao could quickly complete them with a little guidance.
In this way, the spirit talismans for each node were drawn, and the core formation was located and placed, all within a little over a day and a half.

Meanwhile, the Qing Dynasty's army had finished assembling and resting and launched an attack on the Western District Army.

As Lin Zhao directed his soldiers to descend into the formation, he witnessed a battle between legions for the first time.

A well-trained and large-scale legion has its own battle formation and fighting spirit. When the two armies clashed, it was clear that the overall strength of the Western Legion was much lower than that of the opposing legion. They were only evenly matched in terms of fighting spirit. However, due to the overwhelming advantage of the opponent, the Western Legion suffered repeated defeats.

The Crimson Flame Legion was naturally no weaker than any of the three legions that had come to besiege them. When the Crimson Flame Legion's battle formation was complete and their fighting spirit was high, the towering flames almost dyed the entire world crimson.

One of the Qing Dynasty's legions formed its battle formation, its fighting spirit soaring. Sharp white lights shot out, like shooting stars tearing through the sky, ripping at the Crimson Flame Army's fighting spirit.

The other two legions also activated their respective battle formations without hesitation. Each soldier maintaining these battle formations might be insignificant to a Nascent Soul stage expert, but tens of thousands of soldiers of such cultivation gathered together, relying on the fighting spirit and power of the battle formations, were enough to destroy an ordinary Integration stage expert.

Sensing this, Lin Zhao's gaze darkened.

This Ancestral Dragon Plane, which reveres martial prowess, truly possesses some unique methods of its own.

This is a completely different feeling from a battle between individual strongmen. There are too many determining factors for these two forces. The individual strength of the Western District Legion is far inferior to any of these three legions, but it is still able to entangle with the opposing legion for so long through war.

Once he was certain that the final step of his formation was complete, Lin Zhao amplified his voice with his spiritual power: "Western District Legion, Crimson Flame Army, retreat!"

As soon as Lin Zhao spoke, Feng Chenlan and Wang Chenghuan activated their battle flags without hesitation, changed their battle formation, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield. The Qing Dynasty's army reacted quickly as well, but how many breaths did they actually take to react? In those few breaths, Lin Zhao was able to activate the formation and trap them completely.

The Dragon-Trapping Formation was activated. With its initial effect, the strength of the soldiers of the three legions trapped within it was greatly reduced, especially those below the Magical Transformation stage. The lower their cultivation level, the more they were restrained, and those below the Golden Core stage even found it difficult to mobilize their spiritual power.

Some soldiers sensed something was wrong and checked their own condition, while others continued to use their spiritual techniques to maintain the battle formation. At this point, the soldiers' fighting spirit was no longer united, and the battle, which had already been weakened by the suppression of the soldiers' spiritual energy, weakened or even disappeared on its own.

"An eighth-level dragon-trapping formation?!" The Qing Dynasty army also had many eighth-level spirit talisman masters stationed there. After several investigations, they determined which formation they had fallen into.

Commander of this operation was the chief commander of the Great Qing Dynasty's Breaking Cloud Legion. He was a late-stage Integration Realm expert, and the Level 8 Dragon Trapping Formation had almost no effect on him. However, this did not mean that he was unaware of the power emanating from those profound and ancient formation diagrams that suppressed and depleted the strength of his soldiers.

"Can you unravel this?" The commander of the Broken Cloud Army looked at the legion's chief spirit talisman master.

The chief spirit talisman master and the other two level-eight spirit talisman masters from the other legions exchanged a glance, their expressions grave and troubled. Finally, the chief spirit talisman master gave the result of his best efforts in a heavy tone: "Even with the combined abilities of myself and my two fellow Daoists, plus the assistance of the other spirit talisman masters from the three legions, it will probably take at least three days."

Within three days, the extent to which the Dragon Trapping Formation can reduce the combat power of the three legions is evident from the impact it has on them.

"When did they set up this formation?" The deputy general of the Breaking Cloud Army, also a Nascent Soul stage expert, couldn't help but curse as he sensed the formation's binding force growing stronger over time.

"Although I'm not an expert in formations, an eighth-level formation shouldn't be so powerful as to have limitations on cultivators in the Integration stage, right?"

The chief spirit talisman master of the Breaking Cloud Army looked around and said gravely, "This is probably the most advanced level eight Dragon Trapping Formation. The person who could set up such a formation must not be a level eight spirit talisman master."

The leader of the Fire Python Legion couldn't help but curse, "Could it be that the Western District Legion and Wang Chenghuan have some exceptionally powerful level nine spirit talisman masters?! Are you kidding me?!"

A level nine spirit talisman master is a rare breed, even in the once mighty Qing Dynasty, which was a super-powerful dynasty. There are probably no more than thirty such masters in the entire Ancestral Dragon Plane. How could such a national treasure-level figure possibly participate in the war between dynasties?!
This was the first time the chief spirit talisman master of the Breaking Cloud Army had been spoken to in such an impolite tone, and his face immediately fell: "This is my judgment, and the general may not believe it. I do not believe that an eighth-level spirit talisman master can create an eighth-level dragon trapping formation of this caliber. You should know that even an ordinary eighth-level dragon trapping formation would require at least a peak-level eighth-level spirit talisman master to spend a full month to complete the drawing of the core formation."

The Dragon Trapping Formation is a nightmare for every Spirit Talisman Master's assessment, which usually tests the core formation of the corresponding level.

Other formations are fine, but the core formation of the Dragon Trapping Formation is something that a spirit talisman master of the same level cannot complete within fifteen days. Generally speaking, the core formation of an eighth-level Dragon Trapping Formation is something that a spirit talisman master who has just entered the eighth level cannot draw at all. It is not only the complexity of the runes but also the precision of the spiritual soul required. Ordinary eighth-level spirit talisman masters cannot do it.

The formation that trapped them was a top-tier level eight Dragon-Trapping Formation, and it was precisely within the range that trapped their three legions, indicating that the enemy had only completed it in the last few days.

To be able to complete a formation of this level in just a few days, the opponent must have a level nine spirit talisman master!
After the chief talisman master briefly relayed this information to the leader of the Breaking Cloud Army, the leader summoned a long sword, gripped it with his large hand, and sighed, "Master, please tell me, besides you leading the talisman masters to break the formation, is there any other way?"

Three days is too long; their legions can't afford to wait.

Three days would be enough for this formation to drain the low-level cultivators of the three legions into dry skin.

It was his miscalculation that led the legion to this situation after only three days of rest.

The chief talisman master paused for a moment: "Find the talisman master in charge of the formations under your command and have him decipher the core formation as soon as possible."

In short, it's a battle of the strongest fighting forces of both sides.

After all, the current formation still has almost no effect on the Integration Stage, but once the Dragon Trapping Formation weakens the soldiers' spiritual energy enough and senses that the Dragon Trapping Formation has successfully trapped the dragon, there may be some changes.

This is the technique of transformation that exists in formations of level seven and above.
