The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Formation-Breaking Formation

”Almost, that’s the general sentiment in our Sect.”

”Exactly!”

Kenzo Conley and Terry both smiled, expressing the attitudes within their own sects.

Carson Flores suddenly understood why they had unhesitatingly stood up to help him today.

On one hand, it was to repay the favor of saving Kash Lam and others, while on the other, it was to leave a thread of destiny for the future.

Although he wasn’t yet recognized by the Emperor Seal, what if he ultimately was?

There was no loss, right?

Kash Lam and the others spoke frankly, and Carson didn’t find anything wrong with that; after all, there is no such thing as love without reason.

”Do you think we’ll be able to open the restriction in the end?”

”Who knows?”

Carson looked at the barrier on the altar, and a strange thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Could the Blood Mist he had collected in the Water-Fire Mirror be effective against that barrier?

Carson carefully recalled that during the spread of the Blood Mist, there was none around the altar. It seemed as if the Blood Mist deliberately avoided it.

Carson did not attempt to test it out.

With so many powerhouses around, even if his method did work, who would the arm ultimately belong to?

It definitely wouldn’t be his, what with his limited influence!

After waiting for about two hours, the three Tribulation Stage Experts returned, bearing many new wounds—clearly, they had gone through a fierce battle.

They were escorting the white-haired elder, but the figures of the other two dragons were nowhere to be seen.

”Where are the other three?”

”They ran! They tried to ambush us, but fortunately, their injuries were severe and their combat power had dropped significantly. We seized the opportunity to capture one, and the other three saw the situation was unfavorable and turned to flee the cave.”

”Did you find out the method to open the restriction?”

”We asked, but he said it was impossible.”

The white-haired elder laughed harshly, ”This Immortal’s Arm is no ordinary item. The Immortals sent us to guard this place; how could they not worry about us stealing it for ourselves? If we had a way to open it, we might have taken it ourselves instead of waiting for you all!”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression turned grim.

Indeed, that made sense!

But what could they do now?

A Supreme Elder from the Western Mystical Mountain sighed, ”If there is no way, we can only resort to a crude method and wear it down slowly...”

The Cave Master of Mount Kahdas, Tanner Bautista, nodded, ”We can only try that now. We’ve come this far; we can’t just turn around and leave. Besides, the Demonic Beasts now cover the skies and the ground outside; we can’t leave even if we want to.”

”Then let’s get to work!”

”We’ll assign manpower, take turns going into battle, and must not pause in between. Let’s try and see if we can break it open!”

Carson, feeling a bit lost, turned to ask, ”What is this crude method they’re talking about?”

Lainey Dragon explained, ”It involves setting up a Formation-Breaking Formation and continuously draining the barrier’s energy until it can no longer replenish itself and is thoroughly broken.”

”Formation-Breaking Formation?”

Carson asked, ”Is that a formation specifically meant to break barriers?”

”Yes, you can think of it simply as laying siege. If the barrier is like a sturdy wall that cannot be breached, then you build a battering ram outside the city and repeatedly strike at the same spot on the wall without interruption.”

”As long as the impact causes more damage than the city can repair in the same amount of time, as long as we persist, no matter how much time it takes, that wall will definitely be broken!”

”A Formation-Breaking Formation is the battering ram for breaking formations. Once it’s set up, everyone continuously infuses it with Spiritual Energy, maintaining a relentless assault on the barrier.”

”With so many Hollow Void Practitioners at Great Perfection putting forth their full effort, the power of the Formation-Breaking Formation will be immense. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean it can break the barrier, but now, there are no other methods; this is the only way.

Cultivators came prepared. Soon, four Array Plates were set up, with three Hollow Void Practitioners sitting cross-legged in front of each plate, channeling Spiritual Energy into them.”

Twelve Hollow Void Practitioners began injecting Spiritual Energy simultaneously, activating the formation. From each Array Plate, a beam-like spear of Spiritual Energy extended, converging at one point and launching a strong, sustained assault on the barrier.

Carson understood. This was about concentrating the power of twelve Hollow Void Practitioners to continuously attack the same point. Now all hinged on whether the Spiritual Energy that supported the formation, or rather, the source of Spiritual Energy, was sufficient.

The barrier did not even wobble.

This was clearly going to be a lengthy endeavor.

Carson sat on the ground, staring at the arm that could only be described as perfection, his mind occupied with another issue.

Four Immortal Slaves, one captured and the three others escaped — what would they do?

As Immortal Slaves, guarding on behalf of their masters, they must surely have a way to communicate with them, right?

If the Immortal Slaves couldn’t win, would they signal their masters, calling for reinforcements?

Elsie Matthews had said that the pathways between the Barbarian Wilderness Realm and the Immortal Realm were severed, but the doors to the Immortal Realm were not closed. She could be summoned back to the Immortal Realm, so did that mean Immortals could also come down to the Barbarian Wilderness?

If Franklin Wyatt and the others summoned their master, what then would the situation be like?

Who could withstand the arrival of a powerful, true Immortal?
