Chapter 2784: God Slaying Formation

Chapter 2784: Chapter 2784: God Slaying Formation

Jin Ding listened to Lightning Mink’s words and couldn’t help bursting into loud laughter. "It’s my fault! My fault! Brother Fang will definitely surpass the Twelve Principal Gods in the future and become the supreme being of this vast starry sky!"

Only then was Lightning Mink satisfied. "Now that’s more like it! With the Palace Master, nothing is impossible!"

Seeing Lightning Mink bragging on his behalf, Fang Bai felt both annoyed and amused. He reached out and poked him, cursing with a smile, "You little punk... spouting nonsense again! Itching for a beating, huh?"

His current strength far surpassed Lightning Mink’s. Don’t be fooled by Lightning Mink being famed for his speed; if Fang Bai really wanted to beat him up, he wouldn’t be able to dodge at all.

"Don’t, Palace Master, we gentlemen use our mouths, not our fists!"

Lightning Mink really was afraid Fang Bai would grab him and give him a good thrashing. That would be way too embarrassing, so he hugged his head and hid behind Baihua, Linglong, and the other women, making them all burst into lilting laughter.

Amidst their chatter and laughter, the starship continued forward,

"We need to be careful of the Dark Pit up ahead!"

After leaving Canglan Star, the starship had already traveled tens of millions of li through the starry sky. On this day, Jin Ding, who was standing on the deck with Fang Bai and the other gods enjoying the stellar scenery, suddenly spoke with a grave expression.

"What’s the Dark Pit?"

Lightning Mink poked his head out and asked curiously.

The other gods also turned their gazes to Jin Ding.

Though they didn’t know what this Dark Pit was, seeing how serious Jin Ding looked, they all felt it had to be something terrifying.

Jin Ding explained, "As for what the Dark Pit actually is, I can’t say for sure. Let’s just treat it as a flaw in the starry sky. The Dark Pit can generate an extremely terrifying pull. Anything within ten thousand li of it... whether starship or powerhouse, will be swallowed by it, with no way to escape!"

As he said this, fear appeared on his face, as if recalling something. Only after a long moment did he sigh. "Back when I was training in the Divine Realm, I personally witnessed two Divine King Realm Experts accidentally approach a Dark Pit. In the end, they were swallowed into it and never came out again... Even now, thinking about it still makes my heart pound with lingering fear!"

Hearing this, the gods couldn’t help feeling their hair stand on end. They thought to themselves that Divine King Realm Experts were countless times stronger than they were. If even such experts couldn’t escape the Dark Pit’s devouring, there was no way they could.

Fang Bai’s Divine Sense at this moment was already capable of diffusing across ten thousand li, probing the movements in the starry sky within that range.

After he diffused his Divine Sense and probed ahead as far as he could, he indeed discovered that at the very edge of the area his Divine Sense could reach, there appeared an incomparably huge Black Hole.

That Black Hole was like a massive, deep pit dug out in the starry sky. The space around the pit was distorted and rippling, looking as if it were slowly revolving.

Some starstones that approached within ten thousand li of the Black Hole would be swallowed into it by an irreversible suction force, never to be seen again.

"So this Dark Pit Jin Ding spoke of is what mortals call a Black Hole in the starry sky!"

As Fang Bai’s Divine Sense swept over the Black Hole ten thousand li away, he found that even some starstones a hundred or a thousand times larger than the starship were being sucked into the darkness. He couldn’t help being secretly shocked.

So the gods turned the starship around, detouring far around the Black Hole and continuing forward.

On the star route that followed, Fang Bai and the others maintained a high level of vigilance so as not to accidentally stray into the Black Hole’s "sphere of influence."

After traveling another more than ten million li, Jin Ding pointed toward a boundless Star Stone District up ahead and said, "That Star Stone District spans a million li in radius. It lies between many star systems and isn’t under the jurisdiction of any celestial body. As a result, it’s become a gathering place for many Star Pirates Groups..."

He paused, then said, "If we prioritize safety, we can detour around it, but that will cost us time. We can also go straight through, but there’s a high chance we’ll run into Star Pirates Groups, and quite possibly not just one. What do you think we should do?"

Jin Ding’s gaze swept over the faces of Fang Bai and the other gods, seeking their opinions.

The gods of the Emperor’s Palace naturally followed Fang Bai’s lead. Whatever Fang Bai said, they would obey.

Fang Bai asked, "What’s the strongest level among the Star Pirates Groups in that Star Stone District?"

Jin Ding said, "Among the strongest Star Pirates Groups, there might be High Rank True God Realm experts!"

Liu Sha sucked in a breath of cold air. "Then we’d better detour! If it’s a few Mid Rank True Gods, we can still put up a fight, but if we run into a High Rank True God Realm, we really can’t handle that!"

Jin Ding looked at Fang Bai, waiting for him to decide.

Fang Bai thought for a moment, then pointed forward and said, "Then we go straight through! As for that High Rank True God Realm expert... we’ll pay him a visit! But... Brother Liu Sha, Brother Jin Ding, to be honest, if I take on a High Rank True God Realm expert alone, I might not be able to win. I’ll need your help!"

Jin Ding smiled wryly. "Even if the three of us join forces, we’re still no match for a High Rank True God Realm expert!"

Fang Bai said, "I have a Formation here for three people. It’s simple to learn and very powerful. If we drill it until we’re skilled and perfectly in sync, then even if we encounter a High Rank True God Realm expert in this Star Stone District, the three of us together will be able to defeat him!"

Liu Sha widened his eyes in disbelief. "What kind of Formation is that powerful?"

Fang Bai smiled. "It’s a Formation I just created. Let’s call it the ’God Slaying Formation’ for now!"

In truth, this so-called God Slaying Formation was derived from the Demon Trapping Array Fang Bai had created in the Immortal Realm. After Fang Bai innovated upon it, this offensive-and-defensive Formation was transformed from an Immortal Array into a Divine Formation, becoming far more fierce and lethal.

"God Slaying Formation... even the name sounds domineering! Haha, since Brother Fang puts it that way, then let’s give it a try!"

Though Jin Ding hadn’t spent that much time with Fang Bai, he understood Fang Bai well. He knew that although Fang Bai was incredibly strong and extraordinarily gifted, he wasn’t arrogant. Seeing him so full of confidence, Jin Ding’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

"All right, let’s try it! If we really manage to defeat a High Rank True God Realm expert, we’ll definitely intimidate the other Star Pirates Groups, and then we’ll be able to move through this Star Stone District unhindered!"

Liu Sha rubbed his hands together as he spoke.

So Fang Bai carefully explained the key points of the God Slaying Formation to Jin Ding and Liu Sha. These two True God Realm powerhouses were experienced and well-informed. After contemplating it in detail, they realized that Fang Bai’s Formation truly was extraordinary.

The starship continued slowly forward, while Jin Ding and Liu Sha, under Fang Bai’s constant explanations and pointers, gained ever deeper understanding and insight into the God Slaying Formation.

A short while later, the three of them began drilling this God Slaying Formation on the spacious deck of the starship.

At the same time, the gods of the Emperor’s Palace weren’t idle either. Each of them went into seclusion to rest and recuperate, preparing for the possible great battle ahead.

By the time the starship had traveled to within a thousand li of the Star Stone District, the coordination between Fang Bai, Jin Ding, and Liu Sha had finally become smooth and perfectly in sync.

Jin Ding and Liu Sha also gained unprecedented confidence in Fang Bai’s Formation. They looked at each other and smiled, the solemn heaviness they had worn earlier no longer on their faces.
