The Infinite Mystery

Chapter 168 - Powerful Formation

Qin Feng smiled bitterly when he saw the three women not walking out of the formation instead, they continued to attack the remaining stone statues. He could tell that these women were taking revenge for being trapped in the formation for one day and one night. They would not leave until all the stone statues in the formation were destroyed.

Indeed, just as Qin Feng had guessed, only when all the stone statues were destroyed and there were no newly revived stone statues did the three women walked out of the formation.

Xia Baiyue's cultivation was high amongst the three girls, so she still had some strength left. As for the other two girls, they simply could not hold on any longer. They were all drenched in sweat as they collapsed onto the ground. One of them even laid down.

They were truly too tired. The time they spent here being trapped, they simply didn't have a chance to rest. Now that all the stone statues had been destroyed, the formation on the ground was broken. They were like taut rubber tendons that had finally been released.. They lay paralyzed on the ground, not even wanting to move a finger.

It was at this moment, a rumbling sound came from the other side of the mountain, accompanied by the sound of surging waves.

Everyone's expressions changed slightly.

"Water sound? Something was happening at the other side of this cave." Qin Feng became curious when he heard this sound.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Baiyue immediately made a decision and said to the two ladies who were sitting and laying down on the ground comfortably: "Let's go and take a look."

Although they did not know what exactly happened, they definitely could not stay here for long. Once the water surged into the cave, they would be submerged inside. That wasn't a good thing.

Although unwilling, the two ladies stood up. Then they started running with Qin Feng and Xia Baiyue deep inside the crack. After 5 minutes, they finally walked out of the cave and reached the bottom of the cliff. They entered the cave via the crack on the other side of the mountain and they came out from another side.

At this moment, in front of them was a lake, and saw a huge whirlpool appearing on top of the lake's surface. This whirlpool was so huge that it covered the entire lake. Then, a huge building that was emitting spiritual light suddenly slowly emerged out from the bottom of the lake. It quickly turned into a huge ancient palace.

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat when he saw this. This was the first time when he saw something like this at the other side of the spatial crack.

The strong pressure coming from the palace made everyone shiver in fear. Of course, Qin Feng was an exception. He didn't feel anything in front of this kind of pressure because he was already used to the pressure of the mysterious woman.

There was another formation that was circulating around the palace. This gave them the feeling that if they were to approach the palace with their current strength, they would be killed by this formation immediately. It was truly terrifying.

Xia Baiyue frowned when she saw this formation and gritted her teeth, saying, "Not good, the grade of this formation is extremely high. I have never seen a formation like this before. With our strength, we may not be able to enter."

Qin Feng nodded his head and also said, "I have a feeling that this formation not only is a defensive formation but also an offensive formation. If we dare to attack the formation, we might suffer a heavy injury from the counterattack of this formation!"

The three women immediately became very depressed when they heard this. They were very happy before that they found a place like this palace, but now they were very disappointed that they could not enter the palace.

"Yue, what should we do?"

One of the two women looked at Xia Baiyue with an aggrieved expression and said.

Xia Baiyue tightly knitted her brows and did not say anything for a long time. In front of this kind of absolute difference in strength, she had no other choice. The degree of terror of the formation made her not even have the courage to try it. Her intuition very clearly told her that if she dared to try it, she would die on the spot.

In this kind of situation, she turned her head and looked at Qin Feng who was looking deeply at the formation, as if he was trying to understand how to break this formation.

Feeling someone's stare, Qin Feng retracted his gaze from the formation and looked at Xia Baiyue. Looking at the question and hope in her eyes, Qin Feng immediately poured a bucket of water on her hope as he shook his head said, "I also don't have a way to break this formation."

Taking a deep sigh, Xia Baiyue pondered for a long time and finally said to her two friends and Qin Feng, "In my opinion, we should not try to challenge this formation. The grade of this formation is extremely high and we don't know what kind of formation is this. We don't know a single thing about this formation. We also don't know the degree of danger this formation can bring to us. So, retreating should be the best idea!"

The two girls beside her smiled bitterly and nodded their head, agreeing with what Xia Baiyue said. They knew their limit and knew that they could not challenge this formation. Since they could not do anything to this formation then instead of wasting their time here, they could go somewhere else and try out their luck.

Qin Feng also nodded his head. He also felt that breaking this formation is out of his limit. He could give it a try by releasing both of his Battle Spirits but he didn't want to show his Battle Spirits to the two girls.

Thinking for a while, Qin Feng said, "All of you go. I'll stay here for a while!"

Xia Baiyue and the two ladies were surprised at first before shaking their heads secretly. They thought that Qin Feng doesn't know his limit.

The three of them didn't say anything. After saying goodbye, they left this place.

After they left, Qin Feng hesitated for a moment before deciding to test the power of this formation. He flicked his finger and a ray of light shot from his finger and landed on the formation.

He actually condensed a strand of lightning on his finger before shooting it out.

A wave of ripples appeared on the barrier of the formation but it didn't show any signs of damage.

But in the next moment...

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed beside Qin Feng at an undetectable speed.

Qin Feng's eyelids twitched. He was unable to dodge in time and was struck by the lightning. In an instant, his entire body went numb and he gasped in pain.

The power of this lightning strike was almost equivalent to a full-force strike from a Late Stage Heaven Ascension Realm martial warrior who specialized in lightning techniques. When it entered his body, it caused continuous and intense electric shock damage to Qin Feng.

If it was anyone else, not to mention an Early Stage Profound Spirit Realm martial warrior like Qin Feng, even a Late Stage Heaven Ascension Realm martial warrior would have been killed on the spot if they were struck by this bolt of lighting.

However, Qin Feng was different. He had the Thunder Spear as his Battle Spirit and he had the full grasp of the power of thunder and lightning. He could also manipulate the power of thunder and lightning inside his body as he wishes. Of course, he could not manipulate thunder and lightning from outside. But even so, he hurriedly circulated the First Layer of Nameless Cultivation Technique and it helped Qin Feng neutralize the power of lightning, and even slightly increased his cultivation base after refining it.

After a while, when Qin Feng fully neutralize the power of the lightning bolt that struck down on him, he heaved a sigh of relief.

It was fortunate that Qin Feng had the Thunder Spear as his Battle Spirit, granting him the power of thunder and lightning and also giving him the ability to manipulate the thunder within his body as he wishes, otherwise, he would have already been a dead man when he was struck by that bolt of lightning.

Qin Feng also thought that it was his good luck when he attacked the formation with only a strand of lightning. Because of which he was counter-attacked by the formation with a bolt of lightning. Of course, this bolt of lightning was tens of times more powerful than his attack.

If he would have attacked with his full strength, who knows what kind of counterattack this formation would have done?
