Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 1113 - 1000: Standoff

After connecting mind and spirit with the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, he learned the general situation of the entire Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace.Now, it's as if he has mastered the map of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace.

"This Tang Qi is indeed formidable; he has transformed the formations inside the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace into something resembling a spider's web, intertwining layer upon layer. If I weren't skilled in formations, I would have lost myself within the palace! My luck is really good; the formations inside the palace are now riddled with holes, no longer deserving to be called formations!"

He judged that it was Quan Douhe who damaged the formations arranged by Tang Qi in the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace, allowing the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat to sense the presence of those treasures.

If the formations inside the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace hadn't been damaged, even with ten Heavenly Spirit Divine Rats, it would probably still be impossible to locate the treasure chambers so quickly.

Duan Gujin immediately returned to the hall, seeking an opportunity to see if he could take the disciples of the Ascension Academy with him.

As for those native deities, he planned to give them some hints.

If those native deities comprehended his hints but didn't follow him, he would have no choice but to abandon them.

Upon returning to the hall, he quickly surveyed the surroundings and soon saw over twenty corpses of Exotic Realm Creatures lying next to Quan Douhe.

At that moment, the remaining Exotic Realm Creatures were gathered around Tang Qi, setting up a defensive formation.

"What's the situation up ahead?"

Duan Gujin quickly found Mo Yan and secretly transmitted a message to inquire.

"Just now, Quan Douhe unleashed a big move, killing many Exotic Realm Creatures. Seeing they couldn't defeat Quan Douhe, they all fled to Tang Qi, waiting for Quan Douhe to launch his attack at them from the front!"

Mo Yan promptly informed Duan Gujin of the situation that unfolded in the hall after he left.

Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief, gazing at Tang Qi ahead, feeling a wave of tension in his heart.

"I wonder if Tang Qi noticed my departure earlier?"

He heightened his vigilance against Tang Qi, fully aware that Tang Qi was no ordinary person, and perhaps the opponent had already noticed his departure.

"I have found the location of the teleportation formation!"

Duan Gujin, mind a-flutter, hastily employed a secret technique to manifest the map he previously examined of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace into a divine thought and then transmitted this divine thought into Mo Yan's mind.

Mo Yan read the divine thought sent by Duan Gujin and quickly understood the general situation inside the palace.

"Brother Duan, you're truly amazing!"

Mo Yan learned from the divine thought that what Duan Gujin transmitted was the map of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace, leaving him astonished at how Duan Gujin managed to locate the palace map so quickly.

"You secretly tell the other people, trying to lead them to leave with us! If some are unwilling to leave, don't force them!"

Duan Gujin secretly transmitted to Mo Yan.

"Okay!"

Mo Yan's eyes suddenly brightened, guessing that Duan Gujin might soon lead them to depart from the teleportation formation.

In truth, even he didn't know whether the teleportation formation Duan Gujin sensed earlier could indeed transport them out.

But from what he sensed earlier via the Heavenly Spirit Divine Rat, the teleportation formation wasn't a small one but a super-large teleportation formation.

Generally, only teleportation formations needed for long-distance transportation would require a very large teleportation formation.

Duan Gujin entrusted Mo Yan with the task of secretly transmitting to other disciples of the Ascension Academy to follow him to the teleportation formation, while he prepared to disclose this news to other native deities.

At this moment, Tang Qi and Quan Douhe were locked in a tense standoff, with neither side revealing any intention to act.

The scene was extremely eerie, leaving many unable to discern its mysteries.

The most tense were the native deities; their hearts naturally delighted that Quan Douhe didn't intend for them to battle the Exotic Realm Creatures.

Though Quan Douhe eliminated over twenty Exotic Realm Creatures earlier, the number of opponents still greatly exceeded them, and they weren't eager to truly serve as cannon fodder for Quan Douhe.

Moreover, they had only agreed to collaborate with Quan Douhe temporarily.

Currently, Quan Douhe had activated the defensive formation he previously set in the hall, which the Exotic Realm Creatures had triggered earlier during their attack.

Consequently, those Exotic Realm Creatures suffered great losses.

Now seeing the Exotic Realm Creatures gathered around Tang Qi, prepared for defense, he knew better than to rashly order the native deities to attack them.

In Quan Douhe's eyes, those native deities were mere pawns—sacrifices he could use at any time.

He completely disregarded the lives of native deities.

But observing the number of Exotic Realm Creatures surpassing theirs, he knew not to casually sacrifice the native deities.

If all the native deities were sacrificed, he would have no means to confront Tang Qi and those Exotic Realm Creatures afterward.

Quan Douhe ordered the native deities to prepare for defense, guarding against any fierce attacks or ambushes from the Exotic Realm Creatures.

After traveling a while, Duan Gujin halted his advance.

Tang Qi was ahead, and he didn't want to attract Tang Qi's attention.

"Why aren't they continuing the battle?"

Duan Gujin couldn't see through the change in dynamics.

Unknowingly, during the battle just now, Tang Qi exhausted his remaining strength and needed to recover his body using the internal energy of the Ten-thousand Ancient Divine Palace.

At this point, Tang Qi was merely having the Exotic Realm Creatures beside him guard against any ambush from Quan Douhe and the native deities.

Those native deities, seeing the bodies of over twenty of their fellows nearby Quan Douhe, glared with wide eyes filled with fury.

Though they wished to tear Quan Douhe apart, they sensed earlier that Quan Douhe unleashed mid-stage Martial Saint combat power, making them realize Quan Douhe had likely altered the local rule force, enabling a stronger combat power.

Meanwhile, through sacrificing over twenty comrades, they tested that upon nearing Quan Douhe, their own combat power remained limited to the Ninth Level Martial Emperor.

Knowing they were at an absolute disadvantage, to defeat Quan Douhe would require a great sacrifice.

The Exotic Realm Creatures and Tang Qi were only temporarily collaborating; they weren't planning to sacrifice themselves for Tang Qi.

Hence, they retreated entirely.

Upon seeing them withdraw, Tang Qi did not blame them, having discerned that the formation set by Quan Douhe enabled mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation, while those aiming to slay him remained restricted by the rule force to the Martial Emperor Realm.

If the Exotic Realm Creatures also wished to unleash mid-stage Martial Saint cultivation like Quan Douhe, they would need to be very close to the formation's core.

Only by entering the formation's core could they avoid the influence of rule force, preventing their peak combat power from being restricted to the Ninth Level Martial Emperor.
