My Master Knows It All

Capítulo 1977: Chapter 429_3

Just as Lu Zhen was beginning to sense the existence of the Great Formation he had arranged, the next moment, astonishment flashed in his eyes.

As Ling Xi’s Formation Map unfurled, a terrifying pressure from all directions struck him. These forces seemed to penetrate directly into his body, binding his meridians and organs like shackles, causing his overall strength to weaken immensely.

As his strength significantly diminished, he further felt that his Domain was completely suppressed by the opponent, as if this space only belonged to the opponent’s Domain, devoid of his own.

He knew that the opponent’s Immortal Mountain was higher, the immortal aura stronger, and the Immortal Path Domain more powerful.

When two strong Immortal Path Domain practitioners clash, it’s natural for the stronger party’s Domain to suppress the weaker one, which is normal.

But the problem was, he felt that his Immortal Path Domain had almost disappeared.

Fifty percent!

His Immortal Path Domain could now only exert about fifty percent of its usual strength.

This suppression was mainly because his own strength was being weakened.

“What… what kind of Formation is this? Why do I feel like I can only exert eighty percent, no, not even eighty percent at my Peak Period!”

Lu Zhen’s immortal heart quivered with shock, as his own strength was weakened, so naturally was the force of his Domain!

Moreover, he felt that his connection with the Great Formation below had become incredibly fragile.

It seemed as though there was an invisible barrier cutting off his connection to the Great Formation below.

He was being restrained!

His greatest skill was in Formation, and he relied on Formation to battle the opponent, but now, with the weakened connection to the Great Formation, was he not restrained?

Could it be due to spatial orientation?

Lu Zhen swiftly flew to the side, but even when changing direction, the sense of restraint did not dissipate.

Disbelieving, he continued to change positions, yet even after changing several positions, the sense of restraint did not weaken at all.

So, does this mean no matter where he stands within the Formation Map, he would be restrained? Would the location within the Formation Map continually change due to his own movements?

And Ling Xi’s Formation Map turned out to be one that weakens opposing forces.

Although he primarily cultivated the path of traditional Great Formations, he also crafted Formation Maps, after all, Formation Maps belong to the category of Formation, differing only in carrier. Traditional Formations are arranged according to terrain in nature, with Land, Mountains, Void, Trees, etc. as carriers…

Whereas Formation Maps depict arrays onto the Formation Map itself, which acts as the carrier; although different carriers cannot produce identical restraining formations, they share the same formation theories, making them essentially similar.

Primarily cultivating traditional Great Formations, they would also craft Formation Maps, as ventures and combats outside required such preparation.

Formation Maps are split into two categories: one that can be continuously deployed, and another akin to a one-time Treasure, like Divine Skill beads, depicting an offensive Formation on the Map, which disappears post-release.

Among them, crafting the second type of Formation Map is more common because it is easier to make.

Unexpectedly, what Ling Xi held was the first type of Formation Map, one specifically for weakening the opponent.

Generally speaking, when crafting arrays or Formation Maps, one either directly attacks the opponent or enhances one’s own defense or power.

This type of Formation Map that weakens the opponent is exceedingly rare.

After all, one’s opponents are not limited to one kind, for if you crafted a Formation Map targeting the Weak Fire System Cultivators, naturally you hold an advantage against them.

However, if facing other Cultivators like Wood Attribute or Thunder Cultivators, the painstakingly crafted Map fails to restrain them, leaving one in a passive position!

Nonetheless, increasing one’s own power remains unaffected, regardless of whom the opponent is.

Yet now, encountering an opponent with a Formation Map specifically meant to restrain Formation users.

Lu Zhen, feeling the intense pressure from all around, wore a face of utmost gravity; his own strength and Domain were both weakened, which, though uncomfortable and affecting his battle power, did not suffocate him this severely.

What truly startled him was the opponent’s influence over the Great Formation, weakening his linkage with it.

This battle, what he truly relied on was the Great Formation below.

Outside the Formation Map, the people of the Extreme Formation Sect watched Lu Zhen, who kept moving and changing positions within the Great Formation, their smiles slowly fading as their expressions turned grave. Despite not knowing what Lu Zhen encountered inside the opponent’s Formation Map, they could see Lu Zhen’s Immortal Path Domain.

“What is going on, why has Lu Zhen’s Immortal Path Domain become so dim?”

“But he clearly hasn’t been injured!”

“Why is he running around aimlessly?”

The people of the Hundred Peaks Sect, observing Lu Zhen’s chaotic maneuvers within the Formation Map, wore smiles on their faces; they weren’t witnessing Ling Xi’s deployment of the Formation Map for the first time. Previously, many unfamiliar with the Unparalleled Formation Diagram, when facing Sister Ling Xi’s Map, did the same—darting around like headless flies, trying to evade restraint.
