Chapter 172: The Sky-Connecting Formation and the Rising Power of Eslar
"Is everything ready?" Amiya asked, looking at the people around him.
At this moment, there were about a hundred thousand people by his side, all gathered for this moment. The lowest cultivation level among them was True Deity. Almost all of the Fallen Temple's powerful forces were present.
"Lord, everything is ready. We can begin at any time," an elderly man beside him replied seriously.
Amiya took a deep breath, and a black stone appeared in his hand.
"Since everything is ready, let's begin," Amiya said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black stone in his hand emitted a bright light.
Following that, the hundred thousand people also took out their black stones, and streams of light soared toward the sky.
Once the hundred thousand beams of light converged in the air, a powerful wave of energy spread out.
The entire world began to tremble as a massive formation slowly formed in the sky.
"The Sky-Connecting Formation, activate!" Amiya softly called out.
Immediately, the one hundred thousand people erupted with divine power from within themselves.
A giant formation appeared under each person, and the black pillar of light connected the two formations.
In the Divine Realm, the Sky-Connecting Formation was no secret. It was often used to access various divine realms, which usually had level requirements for entry. However, the treasures within these divine realms were too tempting, so some powerful figures devised the Sky-Connecting Formation.
By injecting the power of the Divine Realm's rules into the realm, it allowed stronger individuals to enter and plunder the treasures.
However, Eslar was different from a divine realm.
A divine realm was merely an extension of the Divine Realm's space, inheriting its rules. Using the Sky-Connecting Formation in such cases consumed fewer resources.
But the Eslar Continent was an independent world. Although it once belonged to the Divine Realm, it had evolved into its own world after so many years. Because of this, while it was possible to use the Sky-Connecting Formation to raise Eslar's rules, the cost in manpower and resources was terrifying.
The black stones in the hands of the Fallen Temple's members were made from a special material. If exchanged for divine crystals, each black stone would be worth one hundred billion divine crystals.
There were one hundred thousand of these stones.
Additionally, the formation beneath their feet had been pre-etched, and the materials required to craft it exceeded several trillion divine crystals.
If money alone could solve the problem, it wouldn't be difficult for the Fallen Temple.
However, performing such a large-scale Sky-Connecting Formation would take a toll on the participants.
After all, they were drawing the power of the Divine Realm's rules into the Eslar Continent, which would naturally cause the Divine Realm's rules to react unfavorably. Although it wouldn't be immediately apparent, future breakthroughs for the participants would become more difficult.
A slight mistake, and they could face destruction.
"Lord, the formation has taken shape. We can begin manipulating the rules now," a voice called out.
Amiya nodded.
"Begin manipulating the rules!" he commanded.
As soon as Amiya finished speaking, the one hundred thousand people began forming hand seals.
In the sky, dark clouds gathered, and countless bolts of lightning flashed within them.
"Pull!" Amiya shouted.
Moments later, the formation in the sky emitted a powerful suction force, drawing in the lightning from the clouds.
As the lightning was absorbed, it traveled down the one hundred thousand black beams toward the ground.
At the same time, the formations beneath the participants began to glow brightly.
Countless bolts of lightning quickly flowed into the passage between the Divine Realm and the Eslar Continent.
Eslar Continent!
At that moment, Sylvus was lying on a chair, contemplating when he should go to the Divine Realm to complete his special task.
"Boom...!"
Suddenly, the Eslar Continent began to tremble.
Sylvus immediately looked toward the sky and saw numerous flashes of lightning.
"Hmm? The rules of this world are upgrading again? But why so soon?"
Sylvus was somewhat surprised.
The last time he used the Heaven's Rule Token, the Eslar Continent experienced a similar phenomenon.
It had been less than half a month since then, and the Eslar Continent was about to upgrade its rules again?
"Boss, this time it's not the continent upgrading on its own. Someone is forcibly raising the rules," Deced walked over, his face solemn.
"Forcibly? You mean..."
Deced nodded.
"I didn't expect the Divine Realm to go to such lengths, using the Sky-Connecting Formation."
Deced then explained the purpose of the Sky-Connecting Formation to Sylvus.
Sylvus frowned as he listened.
"I was wondering why they hadn't made a move these past few days. So, they were preparing the Sky-Connecting Formation. Once the Eslar Continent's rules upgrade, their strong fighters will come over and slaughter us," Sylvus said, narrowing his eyes.
"Exactly. They know they can't do anything to us while the Eslar Continent's rules are still weak. That's why they're using this method," Deced nodded.
But then Sylvus smiled.
"Fine, if they want to help raise the Eslar Continent's rules, we won't stop them. Let them come and die."
Sylvus had initially thought it would be troublesome to wipe out the entire Fallen Angel Tribe.
But now, they were coming to him to die.
No matter how many came, once they entered his domain, they would all be crushed.
Seeing Sylvus' attitude, Deced, who had been somewhat worried, relaxed a little.
Although he wasn't entirely sure of Sylvus' strength, he believed Sylvus could handle the Deity Emperor-level powerhouses.
Besides, it was unlikely that the Eslar Continent's rules would be raised to the Deity Emperor level this time.
That would be too costly.
Deced guessed the most the rules would be raised to was True Deity or Deity King level.
"Look at the sky! It's the same multicolored rain as last time! My level is about to break through again!"
"What are you waiting for? Start meditating! Try to break through several levels this time."
"Hahaha! I was hesitating whether to break through to the Mage Ruler level, but now with this divine phenomenon, I can confidently break through!"
The changes in the Eslar Continent were quickly noticed by its inhabitants.
Having experienced this once before, their eyes lit up.
They knew that another opportunity had arrived.
Soon, lightning flickered in the sky, and multicolored rain began to fall once again.
The creatures of the Eslar Continent, bathed in this rain, once again began to break through their levels.
However, this time, the Fallen Temple continued to maintain the raising of the Eslar Continent's rules, causing the multicolored rain to fall for an extended period. The power the people gained was even greater.
