Chapter 1207: Chapter 1205: Let You Pretend (3rd Update)

The Formation Burst Sphere is essentially no different from a bomb or even a nuclear bomb on Earth.

A formation master compresses those terrifying attack formations to their ultimate limit, forming a Formation Burst Sphere, and then sets up a formation incantation.

When the incantation is activated, the Formation Burst Sphere can explode, and in the blink of an eye, the attack formations condensed to the utmost will burst, unleashing a terrifying explosive force capable of devastating heavens and earth.

The Formation Burst Sphere is divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human.

Even the most basic Human Level Formation Burst Sphere can fetch a market price equivalent to five Five-degree Pulse Crystals in the War Ancient Sky market, and it is not always available for purchase.

Xu Xiao is indeed well-prepared!

He even has a Formation Burst Sphere.

The next moment.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM…

The overwhelming explosive force surged violently, turning the Formation Burst Sphere into a point of annihilation, spreading and diffusing crazily in all directions.

Wherever it reached, those Thunder Pythons all turned into nothingness.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of Thunder Pythons were blasted into fragments.

Taking this opportunity, how could Xu Xiao dare to wait? His figure moved as he quickly rushed forward.

Attempting to ascend directly to the fifty-second level.

However.

At that very moment.

The chilling realization was that!

Those thousands of Thunder Pythons, already blasted apart, were somehow resurrected.

Truly like the Undying and Indestructible.

Bringing utter despair!

Thousands of Thunder Pythons, like countless strands of rope, intertwined in an instant, forming a Thunder Python Wall!

Blocking right in front of Xu Xiao.

BANG!!!

Xu Xiao crashed heavily into the Thunder Python Wall.

Bounced back, a bit of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, his face turning even paler.

The whole person was filled with a savage aura.

His eyes turned red.

Damn!

Even using a Formation Burst Sphere was pointless?

The key point is, he’s injured.

Xu Xiao’s face was ashen, nearly dripping water, as he quickly swallowed several healing elixirs and then charged again!

But still, it was useless.

There was absolutely no hope of reaching the fifty-second step.

No matter how he attacked, no matter how furious he became, there were always thousands of Thunder Pythons blocking his way, never disappearing or dying.

After exhausting himself for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Xu Xiao was utterly spent.

He was in despair!

“Damn it! What kind of bullshit Thunder Spirits!!! I give up!” Xu Xiao cursed vehemently, then turned and headed downward.

He had no choice but to give up.

He truly couldn’t obtain them!

“I failed, it’s up to you guys now.” As he descended, Xu Xiao glanced at Feng Liu and Xing Gu, oh, and Su Chen, somewhat easing his mood.

Why? Because he was convinced that Feng Liu, Xing Gu, Su Chen, none had the slightest chance.

Even Yaun Tianyan, the chances don’t seem high, right?

He just couldn’t believe anyone could truly reach the fifty-second step of the third level with such monstrous Thunder Pythons.

“The lucky ones.” Next, Xu Xiao glared jealously at Sima Ling and Yuan Mengyuan, still absorbing Thunder Spirits, consumed by envy and regret.

In hindsight, he should have chosen the First and Second Levels from the beginning; at least he wouldn’t return empty-handed.

Of course, regretting now is useless; he can only hope that the Earthpulse Thunder Spirit and Ziyou Thunder Spirit won’t benefit Sima Ling and Yuan Mengyuan too much.

“Let me try.” Finally spoke up Xing Gu, who had been biding his time.

He was indeed patient, waiting until now without taking action.

In reality, his strength wasn’t even as good as Xu Xiao’s, quite comparable to Yuan Mengyuan and Qiu Shuang, but he gave off a cold and seasoned vibe.

Xing Gu quickly stepped to the front of the statue.

Bowing!

As expected, a surge of purple energy flowed over, a gift from the statue.

However, the amount given wasn’t as much as Xu Xiao’s, which reflected that Xing Gu’s talent for martial cultivation and strength were inferior to Xu Xiao’s.

“Humph.” Xu Xiao snorted derisively as he observed.

He felt extremely dissatisfied with Xing Gu; he had been holding back for so long, ignoring part of the Earthpulse and Ziyou Thunder Spirits because of Xing Gu’s inaction.

He was even stronger than Xing Gu; if Xing Gu could bear it, he shouldn’t be rushing in recklessly.

Thus, in Xu Xiao’s heart, Xing Gu bore significant responsibility for his empty-handed failure.

“Let’s see how you embarrass yourself now!” Xu Xiao stared at Xing Gu with anticipation, laughing coldly.

Very soon.

Xing Gu had a breakthrough; the statue’s gift of purple energy was indeed terrifying, seeming to be a pure, perfectly absorbable energy, capable of facile breakthroughs as long as the quantity was sufficient.

Nevertheless, Xing Gu only broke through one Minor Realm, reaching the Eighth Layer of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain before stopping.

Then, Xing Gu began ascending the steps.

The pace was neither fast nor slow, maintaining a steady progression.

He managed to clear the first fifty steps with little incident.

Finally, he reached the fifty-first step.

“Here it comes.” Xu Xiao sneered in anticipation.

Indeed, under the watchful and respectful gazes of everyone, countless Thunder Pythons appeared.

Xing Gu’s expression remained unchanged, already prepared for this.

Swish swish!

Two longswords appeared in his hands.

Utilizing dual focus, his figure fluctuated, exhibiting a graceful yet fierce movement technique that captivated onlookers, as his twin swords twisted in deadly swordsmanship.

Swish swish swish swish…

Waves of Sword Light rippled; though seemingly calm, they were incredibly fine, demonstrating ‘fierce’ in all its facets.

And Xing Gu wasn’t solely on the offensive; the attacks were a strategy, as his feet moved swiftly, advancing forward, the twin swords paving the way.

To his credit, he really relied on the twin swords to clear a path, progressing a good distance; achieving a breakthrough at this step was not impossible.

Xu Xiao’s expression darkened.

If Xing Gu actually succeeded, Xu Xiao would be left speechless.

Suddenly, Xu Xiao grew nervous.

In the next moment.

Suddenly!!!

Xing Gu’s forward movement abruptly stopped.

Because, ahead of him, those Thunder Pythons had coalesced and woven together.

The Thunder Python Wall reappeared.

Xing Gu’s expression finally changed.

His brow furrowed, and his aura began to soar!

“A Spirit Ascension Pill?” Xu Xiao muttered to himself, realizing something; evidently, Xing Gu was using a Spirit Ascension Pill, or something similar, to temporarily boost his strength.

“What a pity, useless. Can he possibly elevate to the Ninth Level of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain?” Xu Xiao snorted with some disdain; he himself was at the Ninth Level of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain and couldn’t handle the Thunder Python Wall; yet Xing Gu hoped to? How laughable.

As expected.

Xing Gu’s aura elevated to the Peak of the Eighth Layer of the Fixed Character Eternal Domain, then stabilized, not breaking into the Ninth Level.

And then.

He started his attack.
