The great beings originally intended to suppress the magical treasures and weaken Xu Fang's power, increasing their own and finally delivering a fatal blow.
However, they never expected that Xu Fang's magical treasures, as magnificent as their owner, would not give them any opportunity. They would either suddenly unleash unknown techniques or launch surprise attacks that were impossible to defend against.
Moreover, these magical treasures were also cunning. After a successful strike, they would retreat, returning to their positions within the grand formation, never seeking glory and never lingering to fight.
This left Kun Peng and others, who wanted to suppress the magical treasures, with no chance to act. Before they could even react, those magical treasures had vanished.
Under such circumstances, how could there be talk of surrounding, capturing, or suppressing them!
Even worse, they had to constantly guard against surprise attacks from the magical treasures to avoid being caught off guard.
This made them furious. They clearly had the ability to suppress these magical treasures, but they lacked the opportunity. They had the strength but nowhere to apply it, leading to impotent rage.
At the same time, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness, as if they were already completely surrounded by the magical treasures, being toyed with but not killed.
They were not without ideas. Under Kun Peng's leadership, they attempted to break through the grand formation, hoping to collapse Xu Fang's magical treasure formation.
Since attacking Xu Fang was futile, they would attack the magical treasures, which would both render the magical treasure formation ineffective!
However, while the thought was good, reality was cruel.
Xu Fang, safe within the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, relied on the collective support of his numerous magical treasures, forming an unbreakable defense.
When the great beings attacked other magical treasures, those magical treasures, just like the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, called upon their companions and repelled the great beings.
Seeing this, Kun Peng could no longer restrain himself, and in his embarrassment and rage, he spoke.
"Xu Fang, how can you be so insidious? How can your magical treasures also be so insidious? If you have the guts, come out and fight us head-on!"
Kun Peng clenched his fists. If Xu Fang were to appear, they could crush him. But this fellow was so detestable, hiding and manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
Upon hearing Kun Peng's words, the other great beings also voiced their grief and indignation.
"Xu Fang, if you dare, come out! I'm right here. Fight me fair and square, don't be sneaky!"
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, we are all great beings of heaven and earth. Acting like this is quite shameful and will be mocked by all beings in the Primordial Era!"
"Indeed, the most important thing when venturing out is strength, and reputation is also essential. Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, you can't be shameless!"
The great beings spoke one after another, hoping to provoke Xu Fang into coming out.
However, from within the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda suspended above, no sound came, as if Xu Fang completely disdained them.
Instead, during their speeches, several more magical treasures stealthily approached and took down a few unfortunate souls together.
By the time the great beings reacted, and before they could even begin to pursue, those magical treasures had already vanished like the wind, instantly returning to their positions, eager to show off their spoils to other magical treasures.
This filled the great beings with grief and indignation. After all, they were great beings of heaven and earth, either overlords of a region or carefree immortals. They had always been the ones to decide the lives and deaths of others and toy with all beings.
When had the great beings of heaven and earth become so worthless that they were bullied and toyed with by a group of magical treasures?
Using magical treasures to fight in such a manner was unheard of. This Xu Fang was truly peculiar, and his magical treasures were truly peculiar!
For a moment, the great beings all had a single thought: to leave this place far behind, to stay far away from Xu Fang and his magical treasures!
Inside the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, Xu Fang sat before a large screen displaying numerous scenes. The largest screen showed the situation of Kun Peng and the other great beings.
Beneath one screen, the expressions of Kun Peng and the other great beings were fully visible – anger, powerlessness, fear, and more, a vibrant tapestry.
As Xu Fang's thoughts shifted, the images also changed, allowing him to zoom out for a panoramic view or zoom in for a close-up, even seeing the individual nose hairs of Kun Peng with remarkable clarity.
This was another powerful aspect of the magical treasure formation, which now allowed him to see the situation here in its entirety.
However, Xu Fang was not watching Kun Peng's situation to merely appreciate his opponent's fury; he had a deeper purpose.
"Wait, this guy is a bit far from the others. We can send him off."
Xu Fang pointed to the scene on the screen and spoke. As his words fell, several magical treasures flew towards the figure in the image, and that person fell in response, while Xu Fang's hand remained suspended.
And when Kun Peng and the others lunged forward, those magical treasures immediately flickered and disappeared from the screen, leaving only Kun Peng and his companions, who arrived a step too late, cursing continuously.
Those magical treasures, having long since returned to their positions, were now busily boasting.
"How was it? Fast, wasn't it? This guy didn't even have time to react before he was gone, not even time to say his last words!"
"Haha! Still thinking of surrounding us? Don't you know your own limits? Can you keep us contained?"
"Master, how was our performance?"
Xu Fang, listening to their chatter, did not skimp on his praise.
"Well done, excellent! Everyone performed very well and followed orders perfectly."
Xu Fang withdrew his hand. Their speed of action was precisely as he commanded!
Now, he was connected to numerous magical treasures. As soon as he identified a weakness in Kun Peng and the others, he would give an order, and the magical treasures would instantly understand and strike with lightning speed.
Upon success, they would retreat, giving Kun Peng and the others no opportunity to pursue.
This tactic was invincible within the magical treasure formation. The effect was clear from the sight of the impotently raging Kun Peng and the others.
Combined with the freedom of the magical treasures to find opportunities and attack independently, Kun Peng's side soon suffered heavy losses and was in disarray.
"These guys are still stuck in the remote-controlled era of smashing each other with magical treasures, completely unaware that this is now the information age!"
Xu Fang shook his head, mocking Kun Peng and the others for their backwardness.
In the past, battles in the Primordial Era involved summoning magical treasures and then comparing their power with the cultivators' magical energy to determine victory.
This approach was akin to both sides smashing each other with remote-controlled toys.
Xu Fang, however, with his divine ability to communicate with treasures, had long since begun to diverge from this path, embarking on a new one.
Even when the magical treasures fought individually in the past, Xu Fang had already touched upon the threshold, feeling that he could go further and devise more efficient combat strategies.
Now, by deploying the magical treasure formation, Xu Fang could finally implement this idea.
He had finally transformed the individual combat of magical treasures into an organized legionary assault.
Gathering intelligence and precise strikes – this was Xu Fang's concept of information-based warfare for magical treasures.
"Backwardness leads to being beaten. You are the ones being beaten, you backward native great beings of the Primordial Era!"
Xu Fang declared, full of spirit.
"Remote-controlled toys smashing each other? Great beings, times have changed!"
Facing such a combat method that transcended the current era, let alone Kun Peng and the others' impotent rage and futile cries, how could any great being in the Primordial Era, without exception, possibly cope?
Just as Xu Fang was feeling triumphant, the screen suddenly changed, and Xu Fang's face stiffened, his tension rising.
