Chapter 451 Wanlei Extinction Formation

Qiu Tianchi was upon him in an instant, bringing his ruler down in a chop. Wan Lei swung his hammer, meeting the attack head-on.

Boom!!!

Wan Lei was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

He staggered to his feet, smiling slightly. He now had a rough idea of his opponent's strength and cultivation level.

This was his first time fighting a Yuanying cultivator, so naturally, he needed to test the waters first.

Now that he had a better understanding, let the games begin!

"Devour!"

With Wan Lei's low shout, the ferocious beast turned its head and charged towards Qiu Tianchi.

Qiu Tianchi sneered, ignoring the beast behind him as he charged towards Wan Lei once more.

Kill you, and the beast will naturally dissipate.

Wan Lei advanced instead of retreating, swinging his hammer at Qiu Tianchi.

Boom!!!

Another loud crash. This time, Wan Lei used the power of his armor, dissipating ninety percent of the force. Qiu Tianchi was the one sent flying backward.

The ferocious beast was right behind Qiu Tianchi, swallowing him whole in one bite.

"Ugh!!"

The surrounding onlookers gasped in amazement.

They couldn't understand it. Just now, Wan Lei had been sent flying by Qiu Tianchi's attack, clearly outmatched. How did Qiu Tianchi get trapped in the blink of an eye?

Wasn't there supposed to be an exhilarating battle for everyone to enjoy?

At this moment, the gazes directed at Wan Lei were filled with fear.

Did it end just like that?

Of course, it couldn't end just like that.

Wan Lei understood the limitations of his supernatural ability. It could easily trap cultivators of the same realm, but it was ineffective against those of higher rank.

However, it could still trap him for a while.

During this time, Wan Lei needed to figure out how to grind his opponent to death.

Wan Lei took out the formation bead, probing it with his divine sense and studying the Wanlei Extinction Formation within.

He knew nothing about formations, but fortunately, no one could match his control and affinity with lightning.

The formation patterns appeared in Wan Lei's mind.

Wan Lei began to study each formation node, one by one. Once he fully refined the formation, he could unleash it at will.

To outsiders, roars of rage constantly emanated from within the ferocious beast. Those were Qiu Tianchi's roars.

Wan Lei, on the other hand, was simply staring blankly at a bead.

"What is Lei-shao doing? He should be taking advantage of the opportunity to launch a fierce attack! Why is he spacing out?"

Sui Xiaohang looked at Qi Yao and then at Tian Suanzi.

"Don't worry, his combat experience is greater than both of ours. He knows what he's doing. Let's just watch quietly.

I've already contacted my master, and he said he'll be here soon. Lei-shao just needs to hold on a little longer."

Wan Lei continued to study the formation, and time passed slowly.

The formation was simply too exquisite, and he poured all his attention into it.

Wan Lei realized for the first time that power could be manipulated in such a sophisticated way. By using patterns to form a formation, one could truly move a thousand pounds with four ounces of force.

He refined the formation faster and faster, growing more and more excited.

He even wanted to go to the Central Domain's Tianzhen Pavilion (Heavenly Formation Pavilion) to properly study formations. The art of formations was not some so-called minor skill. It was a great path that could maximize the power of one's strength!

In a corner beneath the distant city wall, two old men, Xuan Dan and Ming Ji, were watching Wan Lei with great interest.

"He's refining that formation. What a pity, that formation isn't suitable to be refined at a time like this.

Back then, it took me a full three days, with the help of the formation bead, to completely refine that formation.

If he had refined it earlier, he could have used it now."

"I think he seems very focused, with a smile on his face. His progress must be good. It should take him less time than you did."

"Bah, how is that possible? Although I'm not proficient in the art of formations, I did study with those old guys from the Tianzhen Pavilion for a while. Plus, I'm a Yuanshen realm cultivator! What makes that kid faster than me!"

After Ming Ji finished speaking, he ignored Xuan Dan, harrumphed twice, and continued to watch Wan Lei.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Finally, the refinement was complete.

Wan Lei was overjoyed. Suddenly, a spine-chilling sensation washed over him, and his back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Without even thinking, or even opening his eyes to see, he immediately used Lightning Teleportation, flashing away to a spot three zhang (approx. 10 feet) away.

Boom!!!

A loud crash came from the spot where he had been standing. He looked up and saw Qiu Tianchi's heavy ruler still smashing into the ground.

This Qiu Tianchi had somehow broken out of the ferocious beast.

However,

Thankfully,

He was just in time.

"Wanlei...

Extinction Formation!"

The formation bead in Wan Lei's hand emitted a dazzling light. The light scattered, falling to the ground and transforming into formation nodes.

Then, the light shot up into the sky, gathering above and enveloping Wan Lei's thunderclouds. The formation encompassed the battlefield, and the walls of the formation were composed entirely of lightning.

"What? Refined it in a quarter of an hour? How is that possible?"

Elder Ming Ji's eyeballs almost fell out of their sockets.

Seeing him like this, Xuan Dan laughed until his back hurt.

Being able to see his old friend's face being slapped so hard, Xuan Dan didn't even bother maintaining his usual aloof demeanor.

"Hahahaha, you old fool, you're embarrassed now, aren't you? You idiot, it took you three days to refine that formation. Look at Wan Lei, a quarter of an hour is all it took. You've lived all these years for nothing!"

"Could it be that Wan Lei has a talent for the art of formations? Should we recommend him to the Tianzhen Pavilion?"

"Stop changing the subject. Listen to me mock you, hahahahaha..."

............

"Hahahahahaha..."

Wan Lei laughed wildly.

"Qiu Tianchi, this is the Wanlei Extinction Formation that you bid against me for. Now, help me test its power!"

Qiu Tianchi looked up, staring intently at Wan Lei, but he did not act rashly.

The formation gave him a feeling of dread.

"Lightning Wash!"

Wan Lei shouted and waved his hand down. The formation, along with the thunderclouds, instantly erupted with countless bolts of lightning, blasting towards Qiu Tianchi.

Qiu Tianchi immediately raised his heavy ruler, using it as a shield to block the incoming lightning.

"Ah!!!"

A scream came from within the formation, and Qiu Tianchi's body was slammed heavily to the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

"What kind of formation is so powerful?"

"It's still unknown whether it's Wan Lei who's powerful, or the formation!"

"Is this the Tianzhen Pavilion's formation? Even something created by a junior disciple is so powerful? No wonder it's the Tianzhen Pavilion!"

The voices from outside reached him, and Wan Lei smiled. If he still didn't understand what was going on at this point, then he would truly be an idiot.
