The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 875 - 381: The Final Battle?
Bai Jiaojiao originally thought her actions would greatly oppress this unknown enemy, instilling fear in their heart and prompting them to flee. That way, the Array Flags she had quietly set up at an extreme speed would come into effect.
This move was learned from Lin Yun.
Bai Jiaojiao was not an expert in the art of Formations, having only a superficial understanding, but Lin Yun had taught her a crash course.
Not understanding the principles of arraying wasn’t a problem; at her level, the Formations she could use were only a few, so there was no need to know too much. She only needed to prepare the Array Flags, place them in fixed positions, and be ready with the items required for setting up the Formation.
In this way, it was simple and quick.
Bai Jiaojiao would always carry a set of space-sealing Formations with her just in case the enemy tried to escape.
Before emitting the dragon’s roar, she naturally completed the Formation setup.
As long as Tai Bai tried to flee, they would naturally expose their weaknesses.
But to Bai Jiaojiao’s utter surprise, not only did the other side not flee, they even seemed to intend on annihilating them all.
Bluffing?
That seemed unlikely.
Which meant they might have really provoked someone they shouldn’t mess with.
However, Bai Jiaojiao and the others were not easily frightened after all, they had a wealth of combat experience. Tai Bai’s arrogance did make everyone more solemn, but they did not stop moving forward out of fear.
On the contrary, they decided to use their strongest abilities.
"Form up! Four Spirits Formation!"
Lin Yu held the Gale and Thunderclap swords and gave the orders.
Snow Maiden, Flower Fairy, and Bai Jiaojiao took their places according to the four directions, encircling Tai Bai in the middle.
In the past year, Lin Yu and the others weren’t just cultivating in seclusion. They knew that simply cultivating wasn’t enough to rescue Lin Yun; perhaps they could try an approach where there’s strength in numbers. If their own strength wasn’t enough, they would harness the powers of heaven and earth, the power of the stars.
Depending on different situations and the number of people, there were various Formations.
Like the Two Instruments Sword Array for groups of two, the Three Talents Formation for groups of three, and the Four Spirits Formation, which was most powerful when formed by Lin Yu, Snow Maiden, Flower Fairy, and Bai Jiaojiao.
It was a pity that they were still missing an Azure Dragon; otherwise, they believed the Formation could undergo a qualitative change.
Although they usually cultivated on their own, they communicated via Spirit Talismans. These Formations were all devised by Zhao Lingyu.
Interestingly, although Lin Yu was skilled in Formations, he wasn’t very good at joint attack techniques between people.
Zhao Lingyu was different. With a low Cultivation Level but in possession of the Nine States Cauldron, she had a deeper understanding of Qi and momentum. Beyond that, she also needed to understand how to utilize people effectively. Based on these characteristics, she devised various joint attack techniques for Lin Yu and the others. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Then Lin Yu communicated these techniques to everyone capable of learning them. With their Cultivation Levels, there was no need for practice; they could visualize them in their minds, and during actual combat, just one person directing was enough.
Lin Yiyi and Zhen Li were from the Demon Race, and since Zhao Lingyu didn’t understand much about their powers, there weren’t suitable Formations for the two of them.
Thus, the current situation was one dragon and one demon protecting Zhen Li, while the other four formed an array to attack Tai Bai.
"I only need one sword to kill you all."
Tai Bai looked at the Four Spirits Formation and sneered dismissively, snapping their fingers. Then, Lin Yu’s twin swords and Flower Fairy’s twin daggers all flew into Tai Bai’s hands.
Snow Maiden’s Fulong and Qiaobian didn’t fly over, but it scared Snow Maiden enough to quickly grasp her own treasures.
Was this person pilfering at the outset, snatching weapons before the fight even began?
And both Lin Yu and Flower Fairy’s Divine Weapons were so easily taken by this person?
That said, if you could confront us openly 1v5, why did you sneak around earlier?
Snow Maiden was quite perplexed.
Tai Bai, in the midst of everyone’s astonished expressions, roughly fused the four Divine Weapons together.
In the blink of an eye, the four divine artifacts had merged into a single sword.
Lin Yu and the Flower Fairy’s complexions turned terribly unsightly.
Being spiritually connected with the divine artifacts, they could naturally feel the suffering of the artifacts.
The artifacts had spirits, and though the sword in Tai Bai’s hand still possessed its sentience,
the congestion of four artifact spirits within one sword was immensely distressing.
They wished to resist, but the aura of unrivaled supremacy emanating from Tai Bai left them drained of any strength to rebel. They could only yield to Tai Bai wielding them against their own masters.
Having lost control of her divine artifact, Lin Yu chose to make the first move.
She stood to the west, channeling her divine power with all her might. Pointing with one hand, a White Tiger made of thunder and storms pounced swiftly towards Tai Bai. The Flower Fairy, from the south, was not to be outdone. With a wave of her Vermilion Bird Feather Fan, a phoenix took flight, trailing blazing crimson flames, while looking at this fiery phoenix evoked various illusions in the viewer’s mind.
The Flower Fairy, with her wisdom and the help of the drops of Spiritual Liquid gifted by Lin Yun, finally achieved the fusion of the Heavenly Demon’s and the Holy Spirit’s powers within her. Bai Jiaojiao and the Snow Maiden refused to show weakness as well. In an instant, dragons and the Mystic Turtle all bombarded Tai Bai.
Tai Bai remained unfazed, a cold smirk forming on his lips: "The futile efforts of ants dare to challenge the heavens."
With a carefree swing of his sword, he pierced through the bodies of the Four Spirits. The roars of their once majestic momentum abruptly ceased, phantasms dissipated, and a deep silence ensued.
Lin Yu and the others did not expect their Four Spirits Formation, even bolstered by the grand momentum of heaven and earth, to be shattered by Tai Bai with a single sword stroke.
The overwhelming sense of defeat left them struggling to catch their breath.
However, their attack bought time for the arrival of their allies. Dongfang Hongyue, Fang Yu, Qian Qian quickly joined the battlefield.
Except for Jiang Chenyu, who was still nursing her child, everyone who should come had arrived.
Wang Wanqiu and Hu Yuling observed the battle from a distance. As members of the Demon Race, they could not join the great Formation organized by Zhao Lingyu.
"Form up, Big Dipper!"
Lin Yu experienced a tremendous blow in an instant, but she quickly rallied.
Now was not the time for regrets. It’s not terrifying that the enemy is powerful, but at any moment, she must exhibit the will to fight.
Surrender was out of the question.
With the arrival of Dongfang Hongyue and the others, they could set up the Big Dipper Seven Stars Array.
This Formation had the power to invoke the force of the Big Dipper stars, and more so, it could unite the seven people into one entity, representing the strongest combat force they could muster at present.
Seeing Tai Bai, Qian Qian couldn’t help but feel surprised.
"Tai Bai, it’s actually you!"
Qian Qian had seen the Tai Bai Divine Emperor before but hadn’t anticipated that the Divine Emperor would be so dominant. A Four Spirits Formation was enough to annihilate divine-level powerhouses, yet it was broken by Tai Bai in a single move.
Qian Qian sensed a threat. Probably the Big Dipper Seven Stars Array wouldn’t be enough against Tai Bai either, but since he was an enemy, they had no choice but to try and fight.
Indeed, Tai Bai, looking at their Formation, merely felt like it was child’s play.
A Formation indeed could help them win against stronger foes, but the gap in strength couldn’t be too vast.
Unfortunately, the gulf between her and everyone present was akin to a chasm.
It wouldn’t matter if there were seven or even ten more. None would be a match for her.
Only a God of the same realm could defeat her, and any less would merely be a delivery to her door.
Tai Bai was about to decide to behead everyone present with one sword strike when suddenly she heard a crisp voice.
"With the divine decree of Li, Mother Earth, Bearing Heaven and Carrying Earth, with capacity and virtue. Innate Earth envelops all, the foundation of the earth bears all..."
Hearing the voice, Tai Bai abruptly turned her gaze toward Zhen Li, only to see that somehow she had already gotten her hands on the colorful Innate Soil and was reciting a forbidden incantation...
