This formation is a death trap. These people will never use it unless they have a sliver of hope; they'll only use it when they're desperate, because they'll only use it when they're facing certain death.
It's for this reason that the formation is incredibly powerful. Using this formation means there's no way out; once used, it's an absolute release of pent-up resentment. That's why the formation is so powerful.
The woman's expression turned grave upon seeing the formation. Although she didn't know what kind of formation it was, she knew these people would die even if she didn't kill them.
The upgrade was interrupted because of this formation, so the woman knew it was absolutely terrifying. A formation that uses lives as a price couldn't be weak.
"Qin Chuan, the opponent's formation is very powerful and strange. These people are using this formation at the cost of their lives; you must be careful." The woman knew that if she told Qin Chuan to leave, he wouldn't, so she had no choice but to tell him the truth.
Qin Chuan naturally saw it clearly, but he wasn't too worried. Was the opponent's formation terrifying? Of course it was, but anything using a formation would have a flaw, and it had a flaw in front of Qin Chuan.
The stronger something is, the greater its flaws become—this is an unchanging truth, a kind of balance in the natural order, though fewer and fewer people will be able to discover it.
"Hmm, don't worry too much, they're just fighting desperately."
Qin Chuan finished speaking and activated the formation. At this moment, he had to be careful; it wasn't as easy as he made it sound, especially now.
These people were incredibly powerful, already terrifying, and now, with the amplification of the Qiankun Collapse Formation, their strength had increased dramatically. If such power were to kill him, Qin Chuan felt his scalp tingle.
Therefore, Qin Chuan dared not be careless, activating the Holy Buddha Five Elements Formation.
Divine Eye Immortal Might!
Qin Chuan's formation was now vastly different from before, further enhanced by the Devouring Array Beast, the Divine Beast Array Eye Stone, and the Formation Divine Position.
Qin Chuan's Formation Divine Position and the formation's amplification fell upon the woman. Even though the woman remained calm, the changes brought about by this comprehensive enhancement made her beautiful eyes light up.
She looked at Qin Chuan in surprise but said nothing. Qin Chuan, however, kept a close eye on her movements, ready to respond appropriately at any time.
"You don't need to worry!" The woman held Qin Chuan's hand.
These words were powerful and magnanimous, leaving Qin Chuan with a strange feeling, a sense of being protected…
He was a man, and he didn't actually feel ashamed of being protected by a woman, but it still felt odd.
In fact, he had encountered several women like this along the way; the first was Chu Shiqingzhu. Without her protection, he and his family might have perished.
"Why do you seem to have hurt your pride?" the woman said with a smile.
She seemed to notice Qin Chuan's unnatural expression and asked with a smile.
"No, just a little proud. To be protected by a goddess like you makes me feel very proud, a little overwhelmed," Qin Chuan said earnestly.
The woman paused, her smile widening. She slightly raised her head, looking into the distance, and said nothing more.
The battle began.
Perhaps because the opponent's formation had a time limit, they didn't waste time with harsh words and charged directly at Qin Chuan and the woman, attacking.
As they charged, the hundred or so people transformed into a torrent, the surrounding world chaotic, the sun and moon dimmed, the rules disordered, like a chaotic void.
Wherever it passed, the earth seemed to shatter. Amidst the chaos, a black axe, hundreds of meters long, emerged and slashed directly towards Qin Chuan and the woman.
Black and gleaming like gold, it emanated a strange power that enveloped a vast area, freezing everything within its reach.
The woman, carrying Qin Chuan, began to dodge. She was fast, thanks to the powerful amplification from the array and her divine position within it.
However, this massive black axe seemed to possess a mysterious power; no matter how fast they ran, they remained forever within its grasp.
The axe descended slowly, but as time passed, Qin Chuan realized that running was futile; they couldn't escape its reach.
Moreover, Qin Chuan saw a cruel smile on the face of the Sixth Prince—a cold, triumphant, and crazed smile.
They were doomed, but killing the woman and Qin Chuan was their greatest triumph, and that smile told Qin Chuan that escape was impossible.
The woman stopped; she knew there was no escape. Looking at the slowly descending axe, she knew she needed more time.
This is waiting for death, and that's the worst feeling. Qin Chuan is pondering what to do.
Seven Star Reversal!
This ability works, and he can even use it with women, but the target can only be the Sixth Prince, who is protected within the formation.
To use it, he must break the formation, specifically the Qiankun Collapse Formation.
But there's too little time. There's no other way, so Qin Chuan still tries to break the formation. The Array Devouring Beast and Qin Chuan quickly begin the process.
The Sixth Prince laughs when he sees Qin Chuan's attack, a smug laugh.
"Break the formation? That's laughable. You're about to die, and you think you can break my Qiankun Collapse Formation in such a short time?" the Sixth Prince says, somewhat frantically.
A person destined to die will certainly not be calm before death.
He doesn't stop Qin Chuan, feeling it's unnecessary; in fact, watching Qin Chuan struggle before death makes him feel much better.
Qin Chuan watched, searching for a way to break the formation, but still said, "Sometimes even the heavens give you a chance, but you feel it's gone and stop trying. Many times, they don't even give you time to hesitate."
The Sixth Prince continued to laugh heartily; at this moment, he couldn't hear anything else, only wanting to laugh at Qin Chuan's current state.
For the Sixth Prince, Qin Chuan's attempt to break the formation was a struggle, a helplessness, even a deathbed powerlessness, which made the Sixth Prince feel quite comfortable.
Finding the flaw was difficult for others, but for Qin Chuan now, it was simple. The challenge was finding the biggest flaw and then amplifying it to its maximum until it broke.
So Qin Chuan acted. Time was too short, so Qin Chuan didn't hold back, directly using some treasures for breaking and destroying the formation—treasures he had found in his previously collected Sumeru Rings.
He hadn't needed them until today, but he could use them now because time was running out.
Therefore, Qin Chuan wouldn't try to break the formation himself; there simply wasn't enough time. He simply flicked his wrist, using several treasures to destroy the formation.
Boom boom boom…
Extravagant!
If a master of formations were here, they would be heartbroken. This wasn't just any ordinary treasure capable of destroying formations; Qin Chuan had just knocked out no fewer than a dozen of them,
directly breaking the formation.
It wasn't that the opponent's formation wasn't powerful; it's just that Qin Chuan was able to find the formation, and with a whole bunch of destructive treasures thrown at him, the power was unimaginable.
The formation was broken, and the giant axe was getting closer and closer. Only a little time remained. The Sixth Prince's face was filled with a crazed smugness.
"No time left. You surprised me. Although you used treasures to break the formation, I still admire you," the Sixth Prince said with a slightly surprised smile.
"What follows will surprise you even more," Qin Chuan said with a smile.
