My Master Knows It All-Chapter 565 - 192 - 2

In the void, talismans danced, and light converged upon the formation map on the ground, cascading onto Ling Xi’s form, bathing her entire being in a dazzling celestial radiance, as if a fairy from legends had descended upon the world.

Even the crowd on distant peaks, despite being separated by the arena’s formation, at this moment felt a change in Ling Xi’s aura that made her seem like a completely different person.

"What’s going on?"

"Could this actually be Ling Xi’s true strength?"

"This formation map? Isn’t this the same one Yi Sheng once used? How come when Ling Xi activates it, it feels completely different from when Yi Sheng did?"

Upon the platform, Liao Kong watched intently, his face a picture of concentration. He had clashed with Yi Sheng just the day before and had felt the effects of the Supreme Unparalleled Formation Map Yi Sheng had deployed. He was certain that the formation map Ling Xi was using was the same as Yi Sheng’s. Moreover, after Ling Xi activated her formation map, the sense of restraint it imposed was the same as what Yi Sheng’s had been, except that with Ling Xi, that sense of restriction was even stronger, likely due to her higher cultivation base.

However, as Ling Xi released the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, the formation seemed to undergo a transformation. It was still the same formation, but it subtly exuded a sense of being a world unto itself.

And within this world, he felt as though he was being controlled by the opposition.

Especially that comfortable feeling, just now, the formation had only suppressed less than one-tenth of his cultivation base, but now, under the formation, he felt that he could only muster around eighty-five percent of his power from his peak period.

Both being at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection, yet he could only exert eighty-five percent of his strength. Such a comparison made the formation’s impact seem far too great.

If he was unable to destroy the formation, he could only remain passive.

But this formation...

Liao Kong’s brows furrowed tightly together. He could have easily shattered Yi Sheng’s formation with brute force yesterday, and if he wished, he could break it at any moment.

But today, the formation Ling Xi used seemed to integrate with both her treasure and her very being...

Lost in thought, Liao Kong remained motionless.

He fought with Yi Sheng yesterday, aware that in this formation map, any movement would be countered. Since that was the case, he naturally saw no reason to move; instead, he waved the ruler in his hand vigorously toward Ling Xi.

In an instant, Boundless Buddha Power surged forth, coalescing into a golden character.

[Om]!

This Buddha-light-infused character exploded abruptly, the endless Buddha Power falling like formidable staffs of unparalleled strength onto Ling Xi.

He refused to believe that Ling Xi, just at Golden Core Stage, could manage to turn a formation map, along with herself and her treasure, into a world of its own.

He was convinced that there must be a flaw within the formation map, an imperfection in the integration. Once he found that flaw, he could break the formation.

To find the flaw, he could only continue to probe and attack.

Ling Xi resonated with the Unparalleled Formation Plate and the Heaven and Earth Bagua Formation, her inner energy instantly peaking. She watched the Buddha-light that seemed capable of destroying mountains come hurling toward her, her expression calm as she raised her arm in defiance.

From within the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman, sixteen talismans flew out and joined together, whereupon an enormous and majestic mountain emerged within the void in front of her.

Initially, when she was at the Core Formation Stage, it took all her strength to bring together sixteen talismans, but now, she could effortlessly release sixteen talismans at the same time.

The looming mountain, as if rooted deep within the earth, with its peaks touching the sky and spanning endless rivers, stood before her.

The next moment, the Buddha-light fell, striking the mountain formed by the talismans, resonating like giants from ancient legends pounding their mammoth arms on the mountains, creating thunderous sounds that echoed throughout heaven and earth. The mountain’s phantom image violently shook in response.

Vaguely, it seemed as though the mountain was about to burst open at any moment.

No trace of panic showed on Ling Xi’s face; she once again waved her hand, and four more talismans flew out, embedding themselves into the majestic mountain.

Suddenly, atop the mountain rose another towering peak. From this new peak cascaded a waterfall, falling in reverse.

Her talismans were all distinct, creating different effects when using different talismans to execute the same Divine Skills. Though there were sixty-four Heaven and Earth Bagua Talismans, the various combinations of these talismans could produce myriad divine variations.

This was one of the most terrifying aspects of the Heaven and Earth Bagua Talisman. Theoretically, it was impossible to anticipate her moves or determine which attack she was going to execute next.

The addition of just one peak to the mountain made it incomparably stable in an instant.

Under the impact of the falling Buddha Power, the peak merely trembled slightly.

Liao Kong frowned slightly; his strength had been reduced too much. In his normal state, his attacks would not have been so impotent.

Behind him, his Golden Core, which had merged into one, whirled rapidly, as pure, vast mana spouted forth.

From his six-syllable ruler, another ray of light emerged to form a second character.
