“It seems the longer these meteorites circulate, the stronger the Meteorite Killing Formation is?”

Jiang Yi swam upwards as his mind started to think about the Meteorite Killing Formation that had been unleashed just now. This ultimate dao pattern had only been realized a while ago, and he had only used it once. This was the second time. It didn’t feel as if the attack was very strong. However, now that he thought about it, he started to understand.

The faster the Meteorite Killing Formation spun, the stronger its power was. The meteorites got their speed from flying about. The more they flew, the faster their speed became. If they attacked their target just at the point of formation, they would not be that deadly. Hence, even tens of meteorites just now did not kill the two Heaven Gods. Recalling how Jiang Yi had the Thousand Thearch Shield and Mystic Divine Armor but had also almost been killed by these rocks, this Meteorite Killing Formation could actually be extremely deadly.

“Meteorite Killing Formation!”

Jiang Yi surfaced from the lake as he continuously congealed meteorites. This time, the meteorites that he formed were huge. He controlled them to spin very quickly about him as he continued to make more. After he had congealed more than three hundred of them, he did not dare to form anymore. He would not be able to control a larger number of them. If there were too many of them and then he lost control, the Meteorite Killing Formation would be ruined.

Hoo-hoo!

The meteorites circled him as their speed increased. As their trajectories were all different, they would never collide with each other. Indeed, the meteorites’ speed became faster the more they flew about. Soon, all that was visible were their shadows.

“It is a pity that this requires around half a minute; no enemy will give me that amount of time!”

Jiang Yi secretly felt that this was a pity. The Meteorite Killing Formation would become extremely deadly after half a minute. Even if tens of Heaven Gods like those before came at once, he would not be afraid. However, it took half a minute for the Meteorite Killing Formation to reach such a level of deadliness. No enemy would be stupid enough to give him that much time; no one would be so silly as to barge into the formation just like that.

Swish! Swish!

An air-splitting sound traveled from far away. Nine shadows soared forward, and, seeing Jiang Yi and his seemingly powerful aura, they all took a step back. They then started to flee in two separate directions.

“Jiyang tribesmen, chase!”

Jiang Yi locked onto the five on his left and chased them at top speed. He could not control the meteorites anymore as they all smashed heavily downwards. His body dashed forward as he activated his heavenly powers; his speed actually became even faster than these tribesmen. The distance between him and the five started to close as a flexible sword appeared in his hand and started to dance. Strange sounds started to surge forward.

“En?”

The five men’s faces suddenly became very strange as their speed slowed a bit. The Divine Sound Heaven Skill seemed to be working a little on them. However, its effects were very weak. Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up brightly. He did not expect that after his soul spirit had leveled up, his Divine Sound Heaven Skill could even be somewhat effective on people in the Higher Domain. Next time, he could think of a way to raise the strength of his Divine Sound Heaven Skill. It would definitely possess a huge attacking strength.

“Meteorite Killing Formation!”

Jiang Yi congealed more than ten meteorites; he did not dare to form more. He was flying at such a fast speed now while the terrain was uneven; his Meteorite Killing Formation could easily be disrupted. As he continued to release the Divine Sound Heaven Skill to slow down the enemy, he continued to circle the meteorites about him.

“Go!”

When he was ten thousand feet away from them, Jiang Yi controlled the meteorites and sent them flying towards the five at a frightening speed. Within the blink of an eye, the meteorites had caught up with them. All five were sent flying. One of them had his head smashed open, with fresh blood flowing from it.

“Kill!”

The five knew that they could not escape anymore, and all of them turned around. Five wooden spears appeared as they headed towards Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi did not attack; his Thousand Thearch Shield appeared in front of him and grew bigger and bigger. After his entire body was covered, he continuously congealed more meteorites and directed them to fly about his body.

Swish!

The five men had surged forward. However, Jiang Yi did not send his meteorites forward to attack. They continued to dance around him. In such a short time, he had formed tens of meteorites. It seemed as if flying huge stones were everywhere. The five men were also surrounded by them.

“Hurry up and smash these rocks! If not, we will be smashed to death!”

A middle-aged man roared and said. The five of them hurriedly attacked the stones. Their attacks were very brutal; with every attack, a meteorite was destroyed. However… they had forgotten something: Jiang Yi could congeal more meteorites at will. Every two or three seconds, he could make tens of them. After attacking for a while, the five realized that the number of meteorites had increased; the meteorites’ speed had also accelerated.

“Don’t attack the stones anymore! Kill him; if not, we will all die!”

The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed a sliver of madness as he shot towards Jiang Yi, smashing apart rocks as he came. His wooden spear lit up with a streak of black light while his face was twisted; he looked like a crazed wolf that had been backed into a corner.

“Hahaha! You want to give it your all now? Too late!”

Jiang Yi laughed out loud as he sent all the meteorites towards the five men like shooting stars. The five desperately tried to destroy as many meteorites as they could. However, they were too fast, and there were too many of them. Many rocks smashed on their bodies. The five were sent flying while the man whose head had been cracked was knocked unconscious.

Swish!

Jiang Yi finally attacked as he unleashed his Divinity Slayer. He slashed it ferociously at the middle-aged man. This man wore a blue robe and did not have a battle armor divine artifact. He could only resist the Divinity Slayer’s attack with his body. This time, this person’s body was not torn into pieces. However, his body was filled with blood and wounds; he was severely wounded.

The rest was easy. Jiang Yi killed all five of them and collected their heads as well as five wooden spears and five divine cores.

“Nine! I am left with one!”

Jiang Yi’s face was full of excitement. This appraisal was going extremely smoothly. As long as he killed one more person, he would pass the appraisal. He waited for a while on the spot, but he did not see anyone else fleeing his way. Everyone had probably fled deep into the mountain by now.

Jiang Yi paused for a while and swiftly headed towards the other direction. Four others had escaped just now. If all went well, he should be able to catch up to them in one hour.

However—

Jiang Yi continued to chase in that direction for two full hours but did not see a single person. Furthermore, he realized that he was lost; he had no sense of direction at the moment.

“Oh no, the men from Demon-Killing Pavilion have been waiting for so long. What if they thought I had died and decided not to wait for me and head back to Divine Eagle City first instead? Won’t I have to go back on my own then?”

The Divine Boat was so fast; it was more than ten times faster than him. If he were to walk, disregarding the question of whether the roads might be safe, even if they were, he would take a few months to walk back. He could not yet fly in this place while there were mountains everywhere. His divine senses were also useless here; Jiang Yi had utterly lost his way.

“The purple sun rises from the east. That means this is the south. The Jiyang Tribe was most likely in the south. I had been running northwest just now; this should be the way back then!”

Jiang Yi roughly figured out his bearings. He did not dare to continue his pursuit and decided to head south instead. However, after walking for four hours, he still had not walked out of the mountain, much less locate the Jiyang Tribe.

Roar!

Just as he was standing on a mountain peak in a daze, a terrifying roar traveled from far away. That sound made Jiang Yi’s soul spirit tremble. His eyes widened as he shouted, “Oh no, a Chaos Beast!”

Even the lowest-grade Primitive-Grade Chaos Beast was something that even the Demon-Killing Battle Generals could not kill. If Jiang Yi encountered one, he would die without a doubt.
