Xu Fang spoke with a smile, but to the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm, his words were no different from the whispers of an outer-realm demon, instantly plunging it into an ice cave, making it shiver uncontrollably.
"Senior Xu Fang, I..."
The Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm tried to struggle, to beg Xu Fang for mercy, but as soon as it began, Xu Fang waved his hand, and a brilliant light from the Treasure Distribution Rock enveloped it.
The Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm was greatly alarmed and quickly mobilized its body, attempting to break through the light's embrace and escape.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the seemingly fragile light directly repelled the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm. Although it was fearless of blades, fire, and water, it still felt a sharp pain.
However, the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm's will to survive was strong, and it did not give up. It repeatedly charged, trying to escape.
Instantly, there were loud noises, and light burst forth in all directions, shining brilliantly.
Yet, no matter how the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm charged headlong, it was invariably knocked back, completely unable to break through the light.
Instead, the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm, after repeated collisions, was bleeding from its head, looking utterly pathetic.
Xu Fang stood beneath the Treasure Distribution Rock, watching coldly, seemingly with no intention of intervening.
The Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm was bewildered. Were these lights truly so indestructible? Was it truly going to be trapped here to die?
The Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle, Ao Xue, and the little Qilin also poked their heads out, watching the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm's repeated attempts to break free below, shaking their heads.
"Do you think this fellow is stupid?"
"Exactly. This treasure formation, even powerful beings cannot break through it. Does it think it can?"
"Speaking of which, won't this fellow's final end be to crash himself to death like this?"
Hearing the chatter of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle and the other two, the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm suddenly came to a realization, its shock immense.
"Treasure formation?"
"This is a treasure formation? Why don't I see any treasures?"
The Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm was filled with doubt. According to the legends circulating in the Primordial Era, wasn't a treasure formation formed by a multitude of treasures arranged together, trapping the opponent within and making it impossible to escape?
Why was there only light enveloping it now, with no sign of any treasure? Was this treasure formation fake?
Hearing this, Xu Fang chuckled. The Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm's understanding of treasure formations was still stuck at the original version!
But it made sense. The news of him transforming the Treasure Distribution Rock into a warship had not yet spread throughout the Primordial Era. His action against the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm this time was merely to test it out properly.
When transforming the Treasure Distribution Rock, Xu Fang had already engraved formations onto it, merging the Treasure Distribution Rock with the treasure formation.
From then on, if Xu Fang wanted to activate this treasure formation, it would no longer be so troublesome. There would be no need for all the treasures to appear simultaneously.
Even the formation positions on the Treasure Distribution Rock were merely nominal. There was no need for treasures to individually take their positions to form the treasure formation.
As long as the treasures were on the Treasure Distribution Rock, whether lying down or suspended, they could unleash their power. The rest of the work was not of much concern to them.
As the core of the entire treasure formation, the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda would gather all these powers and transmit them to the Treasure Distribution Rock.
This was akin to building a machine, and the treasures served as the power source to start it.
Although this way, the grand spectacle of all treasures appearing at once was absent, its power was not diminished at all. In fact, it seemed far superior to the past!
Xu Fang certainly would not tell the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm these things. Seeing its bewildered state, he smiled and spoke.
"You think you lost unfairly because you didn't see any treasures, right? Very well, I'll satisfy you!"
As Xu Fang spoke, before the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm could react, countless treasures descended simultaneously, surrounding the edge of the light.
The Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm was greatly alarmed. It truly was a treasure formation!
"Senior, I..."
"I know, I know, you're a professional robber. Now I'll let you have a good look around!"
As Xu Fang spoke, the treasures began to laugh.
"This Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm talked so grandly, I thought that aura of greed was something truly formidable!"
"Yes, it made me have unwarranted expectations. This fellow deserves to die!"
"Stop the nonsense, I'll beat him up first!"
Amidst the treasures' jabbering, they impatiently began their attack.
The Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm had the intention to defend itself, but the sheer number of treasures made it impossible to guard against all of them. Overwhelmed and unable to attend to everything, it was soon screaming in pain, only able to endure the onslaught.
Seeing this, Xu Fang did not interfere too much, allowing the treasures to play amongst themselves. As long as they did not stray too far from the Treasure Distribution Rock, the treasure formation could still be maintained.
The creature lying on the ground, watching the scene unfold in mid-air, was dumbfounded.
The notorious reputation of Xu Fang, the Lord of Penglai Island, was indeed well-deserved!
This monstrous beast, the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm, had been pursued by it relentlessly, leaving it with nowhere to run or hide. Under Xu Fang's command, no, under the command of his treasures, it had no power to resist at all!
Feeling Xu Fang's power and recalling its earlier reckless charge at him, the creature was filled with fear and immediately thought of seizing this opportunity to escape.
However, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle had not forgotten it. Seeing its current state, it let out a great roar.
"You there, what do you think you're doing? Continue playing dead and await the Senior's judgment!"
Hearing this, the creature looked at the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm, which was leaping and dodging the treasures' attacks within the formation, and shrunk its neck.
Forget it, it wouldn't risk it. It would continue to play dead!
Meanwhile, on the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm's side, even with its utmost effort to evade, the sheer number of treasures made it impossible to dodge them all. Soon, it was covered in wounds, a truly pitiable sight.
Seeing this situation, the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle and the other two continuously shook their heads.
"Didn't they say the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm's tough shell was impervious to blades, fire, and water? And this is it?"
"It's too weak, really disappointing!"
"I agree, this Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm is all brawn and no fame!"
These words, falling into the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm's ears, instantly enraged it.
You followers, can't you just watch the show properly? Why do you have to mock me like this!
Even if it had a shell that was impervious to blades, fire, and water, being battered repeatedly by these treasures, even the legendary Black Tortoise of the Northern Sea wouldn't be able to withstand it, right?
There was no such thing in this world. Who would orchestrate a situation where a group of treasures gang up on someone? It was utterly insane!
The Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm roared inwardly, but the Golden-Winged Great Peng Eagle's words also made it realize something.
If it continued like this, even if it could survive thanks to its tough shell, it would still suffer immensely, because the pain was real!
Thinking of this, the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm's mind moved. Seizing an opportunity when it successfully dodged a treasure's attack, it quickly deployed its own treasure.
With a flash of light, a treasure appeared before the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm: a shimmering golden kasaya.
Seeing the treasures attack again, the Six-Winged Celestial Silkworm no longer hesitated. It directly unfurled the kasaya, dived into it, and with a shrunken body, completely concealed itself beneath the kasaya.
The treasures attacked, their blows landing directly on the kasaya. After a series of explosions, the seemingly fragile kasaya remained completely unharmed!
