Chapter 657 Using Base as a Formation

"Dragon Whale..."

Su Ping muttered to himself.

Since learning that the Abyss Cave was located in Longyang Base City, Su Ping has been paying attention to other Abyss Caves. If he remembers correctly, Longjing Base City, one of the seven A-level bases, also has an Abyss entrance.

Could it have erupted from the entrance to the abyss inside?

"Is this beast tide inside the base, or is it attacking from outside the base city?" Su Ping asked the two.

"I heard it's inside the base," one of them said.

Su Ping thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

A monster has broken free from the abyss!

However, when he entered the abyss earlier, he didn't encounter many monsters along the way, so these monsters must have been hiding somewhere in the abyss.

Su Ping suddenly felt a little worried.

I wonder what Li Yuanfeng and the others are doing in the abyss.

Unfortunately, he didn't have any Void Eater insects, so he couldn't contact the other party at any time.

"Where is Old Master Qin?" Su Ping asked.

"The old man is patrolling the outer wall. If you're looking for him, you can contact him directly from here..."

"No need, I'll just ask."

Su Ping looked at the sand table, where models of various bases stood. The Dragon Whale Base was not far from here, separated by three base cities. It would take an ordinary ninth-tier bird or beast half an hour to fly there.

"Longyang...Longjing...both start with the character 'Long'."

Su Ping shook his head.

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and his gaze swept across the sand table. Upon looking at it, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

Among the base cities in the Asian continental region, there are quite a few with the character "dragon" mixed in, more than a dozen.

It is said that naming the base after "dragon" is to use the dragon's energy to suppress the base. The dragon is the overlord among monsters, which also indicates that the base city can survive for a long time.

But at this moment, Su Ping suddenly noticed that these base cities with "dragon" in their names, when taken out individually, were faintly forming a peculiar overlapping pentagram shape!

Two pentagrams overlap to form a ten-pointed star!

There are several other base locations nearby, resembling flying stars!

Su Ping is no longer the novice in formations he once was. In the past two days, he has spent more than 20 days studying formations with Joanna in the Demigod's Fallen Land. He has even mastered a minor third-order divine formation like the Lesser Five Elements Prison Suppression Divine Formation. At this moment, the location of these bases is, in Su Ping's eyes, a formation!

Flying Star is the formation guardian, responsible for stabilizing the formation and supplying energy to it.

However, Su Ping couldn't figure out what kind of formation this overlapping pentagram formation belonged to.

"Did I see wrong, or am I overthinking it... No..."

Su Ping suddenly thought of the previous incident of the Other Shore attacking Longjiang. For a ferocious beast like the Other Shore, sending a king beast to attack first, and then launching a large-scale attack after the failure, it was really not worth it if it was just for food. At that time, he felt that the Other Shore seemed to be looking for something in Longjiang.

Or rather, there's something about Heilongjiang that's attracting it.

At this moment, on this map, Longjiang is located in the position of a flying star.

It is not within the ten-pointed formation.

There are six such flying stars!

They are distributed in six locations within the decagonal formation!

"Longyang Base has an entrance to the Abyss Passage, as does Longjing, but Longjiang does not. This Longlin Base City also has an entrance to the Abyss Passage. Although it is only a Class B base city, it shouldn't be a coincidence."

Su Ping's eyes flashed, and he decided to take the sand table to Joanna to take a look. With her knowledge, she would be able to recognize what kind of grand formation it was at a glance.

"I'll borrow this for a bit," Su Ping said.

Both Qin family members were surprised by the titles bestowed upon them and quickly agreed.

It's just a model; they can have someone move another one over anytime.

With a thought, Su Ping directly picked up the sand table, moved it back to the shop, and called out to Joanna.

"Can you help me figure out what kind of formation this is?" Su Ping asked Joanna.

He used his mind to suspend the base city model named after the dragon by several inches, making it stand out.

Joanna glanced at it, somewhat surprised, "The Ten Directions Heaven-Locking Array?"

"It really is an array..." Su Ping's heart sank slightly, and he asked, "What kind of array is this? Is it a sealing array again?"

"Pretty much, but this formation doesn't seal life, it seals the heavens!"

"sky?"

Su Ping's pupils contracted, and he was somewhat stunned.

Back on Chaos Heavenly Sun Star, Su Ping had heard about the existence of "Heaven" from the Golden Crow Elder. It was a supreme and ethereal realm, capable of destroying hundreds of blue stars with a stomp of its foot. Even within the Interstellar Federation, it was top-tier, capable of overthrowing the entire Interstellar Federation!

At this moment, Joanna actually said that this sealing array was used to seal the heavens?

Seeing Su Ping's expression, Joanna paused, gave him a deep look, and said, "It's not the 'sky' you're thinking of. The sky I'm talking about is this very world!"

"world?"

"That's right, this is a spatial sealing divine array. Once it's opened, the sealed world inside will be revealed again. At that time, the area of ​​your Blue Star should increase considerably. As for how much it will increase, it depends on the area of ​​the sealed world inside."

Joanna glanced at him and said, "I didn't expect that your little planet would hide so many things. The person who set up this Ten Directions Locking Heaven Array was probably trying to plunder star power, wanting to imprison and gather all the star power in this space and keep it for himself."

"Once the seal is broken, we don't know if the star power inside has been absorbed. If not, it will make the star power on your planet more concentrated, and more ferocious monsters and cultivators will be born."

Su Ping was stunned.

Using more than a dozen bases as the foundation, the Heaven-Locking Array was built to imprison stellar power for its own exclusive use?

"What level of cultivation is required to set up such a grand formation?" Su Ping asked.

"As for formations, the requirements for cultivation level are not too demanding. Setting up this Heaven-Locking Formation and that Lesser Five Elements Prison-Suppressing Divine Formation only requires the legendary Heavenly Fate Realm that you mentioned. It just takes a bit more effort. If it is a Starry Sky Realm level, then setting up is even easier."

"But even a Starry Sky Realm expert wouldn't care about the faint star power on this small planet; it was probably done by someone at the Heavenly Fate Realm."

Su Ping nodded slightly. The person who set up this divine array was inextricably linked to the person who built these dozen or so base cities. However, the base cities were built a long time ago. Some base cities were newly built, while A-level base cities like Longyang and Longjing had a long history, dating back thousands of years.

"No wonder the other side attacked this place. It turns out they wanted to destroy this Heaven-Locking Divine Array and release the star power inside. In that case, the strength of all the monsters in the world would increase dramatically in a short period of time, which would be beneficial for them to invade human territory. They even wanted to devour the released star power themselves to boost their cultivation."

Su Ping muttered to himself.

That explains everything.

He personally led a large number of royal beasts to attack, all for the purpose of destroying this formation and plotting to seize the celestial power that was sealed within.

"Could it have been built a thousand years ago by the first master of the Peak Tower...?"

Su Ping seemed to be deep in thought. He would have to ask Lao Xie about this later, since he was the mayor and ultimately had a deeper understanding of the Longjiang base city.

"Do you know how to unseal and create this Ten Directions Heaven-Locking Array? Teach me."

Su Ping said to Joanna.

If he could unseal it, he wouldn't mind. He could plunder the star power inside, and even if he couldn't consume it all, it would still benefit pet masters worldwide.

Although monsters will mutate and evolve faster when star power is abundant, humans will also continue to grow stronger. At that time, the threshold for becoming a legend may not be as difficult as it is now.

"This is a third-tier divine array, just like the Lesser Five Elements Prison Suppression Divine Array. It's nothing special," Joanna said casually, completely disregarding the array.

"To unseal it, you only need to destroy the six array guardians. This is the conventional method. There are also two special methods. The first is to use the power of the rules to bypass the sealing barrier of the array and enter the sealed world to destroy it from the inside."

"The second method is to build three more defensive formations and reverse the formation using the Yin-Yang technique."

Joanna glanced at Su Ping and said, "The first method requires a Star-level base. The second method requires you to build three more bases. Relatively speaking, the second method is simpler. I'll teach you where to build them and how to arrange them later."

Su Ping clicked his tongue slightly.

As expected of someone with the insight of a God of Order, a level three divine array was like an elementary school test question in their eyes.

It should be known that the power of a third-tier divine array is comparable to that of a star-level expert. Some extremely powerful third-tier killing arrays can even kill star-level experts!

"Your employee was definitely worth hiring," Su Ping remarked. Joanna had indeed helped him a great deal.

"Good to know." Joanna glanced at him and said calmly.

"I have a sword technique that is in harmony with the power of the rules. Can I use this sword technique to cut through the void and enter that sealed world?" Su Ping asked curiously.

If his illusory sword technique could enter the sealed world, the star power accumulated there for thousands of years would be his to plunder.

Although he has reached a bottleneck, the Chaos Star Power Diagram he cultivates is quite unique, and it can still continuously operate and absorb star power.

If he could obtain a sufficiently large amount of star power, he believed that quantitative change would be enough to cause qualitative change, and at that time, even without comprehending the Heavenly Tribulation, his star power would be enough to step into the legendary realm.

"fencing?"

Joanna raised an eyebrow and glanced at him. "You're just a mere mortal, not even a legend. How can you possibly touch the power of the rules?"

"Don't judge a book by its cover. Don't think that just because I'm good-looking, I'm all show and no substance," Su Ping said helplessly.

Joanna: "..."

"I didn't say that," she scoffed.

"I understand what you mean. How about I demonstrate it for you?" Su Ping asked.

"Alright, I'll see..." Joanna was somewhat skeptical. Although she knew Su Ping was strong, his cultivation level was still what it was. He was only at the mortal realm. She could accept that Su Ping could rival a legendary expert or even contend with someone at the Heavenly Fate realm. Such a monstrous genius was extremely rare, but not unheard of.

But how can a mortal body control the power of rules?

This aptitude is practically equivalent to her reincarnation!

It should be noted that her reincarnation carries some of the memories of her predecessor, including some insights into the Great Dao, which is why her reincarnation can easily perform many forbidden techniques and divine arts.

boom!

Without hesitation, Su Ping raised his hand, and the Asura Divine Sword instantly appeared in his palm. The Daoist aura of annihilation emerged, and with a single strike, the void shattered!

Annihilation!

Everything returned to nothingness!

A black mark was slashed in the space in front of Joanna, revealing layers upon layers of space within.

Joanna froze, her pupils contracting.

It truly is the power of rules!

She sensed it; it was an extremely sharp and powerful force of rules!

"You actually..."

Su Ping sheathed his sword and asked, "Can this sword strike break this formation?"

Joanna stared at him blankly, slowly regaining her senses. Her eyes held a complex expression as she said, "No, to break this formation, one must have a more thorough understanding of the power of rules. The power of rules you currently possess is merely used crudely; your mastery of it is far from sufficient..."

Her voice trembled with bitterness as she spoke.

Although this control is still very rudimentary, it is absolutely terrifying for Su Ping's cultivation level.

This guy is a monster!

"No, that won't work..."

Su Ping was somewhat disappointed. If Joanna said it wouldn't work, then it really wouldn't work. He had no doubt about Joanna's judgment.

"So, the only options are to build three bases to reverse the formation, or to destroy all six formation guardians, but that's impossible..." Su Ping shook his head. First of all, he couldn't destroy the formation guardian in Longjiang, let alone the others.

Without saying anything more to Joanna, Su Ping returned the sand table to the Qin family. The most urgent task at hand was to deal with the beast tide first, and then he would come back to Joanna to learn how to break and set up the Ten Directions Locking Heaven Formation.

After leaving the Qin family, Su Ping arrived at the west wall of the base. The outer wall was covered with people, many of whom were pet trainers driving their pets to move missiles and equipment and set up defenses.

The Dragon Whale Base has been attacked, and the beast tide inside may affect Longjiang. We must be on guard.

Su Ping found Qin Duhuang and inquired about the dragon whale's condition.

Although the Star Whale Defense Line excludes Longjiang, that was done by Fengta. Su Ping doesn't have any aversion to the base cities within the defense line.

"They didn't ask us for help. Currently, all the legendary figures at the Star Whale Defense Line bases, including those at Peak Tower, are rushing to Dragon Whale, where it has become the main battlefield. I heard that three more legendary figures have just fallen..."

Qin Duhuang shared the latest intelligence with Su Ping, his brow furrowed with worry.

Although he was abandoned by the Star Whale Defense Line, they were all human, and their fates were intertwined. He did not want anything to happen to the Dragon Whale Defense Line.

"Five legendary figures have already died..."

Su Ping frowned. The legendary creatures had extremely strong survival abilities, and they were on the battlefield, supporting each other. Yet, five of them were killed in such a short time. The situation of this beast tide was not optimistic.

If the legend of the Peak Tower fails to hold it off, this defensive line will have completely collapsed!

Meanwhile, the eleven base cities within the defense line will also face massacre. These base cities have taken in people from other relocated base cities, with a population of over 100 million!

One line of defense means over a billion people!

"If the situation becomes really critical, I'll go check it out," Su Ping said.

Qin Duhuang was slightly taken aback, glanced at him, and said, "But the Star Whale defense line previously blocked our Longjiang..."

"That's a grudge between the decision-makers and me, it has nothing to do with the people below. The civilians in the base are innocent," Su Ping said in a low voice.

Qin Duhuang gave him a deep look, his eyes filled with admiration, and said, "I admire what Boss Su has said!"

Su Ping waved his hand. He didn't say this to show how righteous he was. He just saw the innocent people on his street, their faces full of bewilderment, and felt sorry for the ordinary people in the Star Whale Defense Line!

Just then, Su Ping's communicator rang.

"Boss Su!"

As soon as the call connected, the cold, handsome voice of Dao Zun came through, filled with urgency, "Boss Su, can you come to Dragon Whale Base City?"
