#1012 - The Trap Opens
This formation is extremely sophisticated, entirely composed of Yuan energy, and specifically designed to trap fire-attribute cultivators.
It can be said that once a fire-attribute cultivator steps into this formation, their capture is practically guaranteed, making escape exceedingly difficult.
Zhu Gai, Chen Ling, and Yang Qingsheng nodded frequently after seeing it, their hearts filled with joy. With this grand formation, coupled with assistance from the sidelines, the success rate would undoubtedly increase greatly.
Thus, all preparations were complete.
The four of them waited in full readiness, only waiting for the appearance of the Fire Spirit Zhi to capture it in one fell swoop.
Meanwhile, Li Chengfeng secretly observed from a short distance, seeking the best opportunity to strike.
The burly middle-aged man, Yang Qingsheng, slowly took out a special herb from his storage bag.
This herb emitted a faint fragrance in the air, like a shy maiden gently revealing her fragrance.
This was an extremely rare fire grass—the September Flame Grass—its preciousness evident.
It is called September Flame Grass because it only matures in September each year and emits a unique aura that the Fire Spirit Zhi cannot resist.
This millennium spirit loves to eat this September Flame Grass, as if it has a natural infatuation with it.
This September Flame Grass has only nine delicate and charming flowers, like nine brilliant stars adorning the verdant branches and leaves.
Once it matures, it emits a special fragrance that can cross the barrier of time and space, specifically attracting the millennium Fire Spirit Zhi to come.
The big man carefully placed this spiritual herb into the already prepared formation, then the four of them smiled at each other, their eyes full of anticipation and confidence.
Each hid, like four leopards poised to pounce, quietly waiting for the arrival of their prey.
Sure enough, the fragrance of the September Flame Grass drifted with the wind, like an invisible tie, attracting the Fire Spirit Zhi from afar.
The four sat cross-legged, closed their eyes, and concentrated, slowly comprehending the mysteries between heaven and earth.
The reason why the Fire Spirit Zhi is so sought after but so difficult to find is because it is extremely elusive, and at the slightest disturbance, it will flee far away.
Rather than painstakingly searching for it, it is better to wait here for it to appear, which is more practical.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. After three days and three nights of long waiting, patience and perseverance were finally rewarded.
Suddenly, a flash of fire shot from afar, as fast as lightning, making it impossible to see its appearance clearly.
However, the abundant Yuan energy, like surging waves, rushed towards them, making it impossible to ignore its existence.
The four of them suddenly opened their eyes and mustered all their energy.
Each took their place, glancing at each other, their eyes filled with joy that seemed to overflow.
The Fire Spirit Zhi had finally arrived!
At this time, Li Chengfeng was sitting cross-legged not far away, also comprehending the principles of heaven and earth.
When one's strength reaches the Transformation God stage, one must begin to comprehend the Dao rhythms of the rules, which is a stage that every cultivator must experience.
His divine sense, like an invisible giant hand, swept gently and clearly saw the appearance of the creature flying over.
Others couldn't see it clearly because their divine sense was too weak to penetrate that layer of mystery.
But Li Chengfeng's divine sense was extremely powerful. With a gentle sweep, he saw everything clearly.
What flew over was actually a thin, yellow-skinned, black-faced creature that looked a bit like a mouse, but there was a ball of burning flames on the tip of its tail.
This flame was like a small sun, emitting a scorching light.
Li Chengfeng's heart stirred. Could this be the Fire Spirit Zhi transformed in legends?
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly, his eyes like torches, seeing at a glance that the Fire Spirit Zhi should have three thousand years of cultivation.
Although it had never deliberately cultivated, its own strength was not to be underestimated, like an old man living in seclusion in the mountains, who, although not involved in worldly affairs, contained unfathomable power.
However, these four, relying on their sophisticated formation, were not without the power to fight. The contest between them was like a confrontation between a leopard and a lion, full of unknowns and variables.
Li Chengfeng watched quietly, waiting for the exciting scene of these people capturing the millennium spirit.
This spirit has extraordinary strength, and although the strength of these four people is much stronger than ordinary people, it is still slightly inferior compared to the Fire Spirit Zhi.
Relying on the power of the formation, they can still contend with the Fire Spirit Zhi, as if a group of resourceful hunters are carefully besieging a ferocious beast.
Just then, the four of them had already mustered all their energy, their eyes sharp, as if they could see through everything.
Suddenly, the three tigers' magic changed abruptly, and the formation also underwent earth-shattering changes. A shrill scream followed, like a lament in the cold wind, making people feel cold.
The millennium spirit sensed that it had been ambushed and was immediately furious: "Humans are so shameless!
To capture me, you actually use any means, luring me here and trapping me with a formation.
What kind of heroes are you?
If you have the guts, fight me fairly!"
Zhu Gai heard this and laughed loudly, his voice full of pride and mockery: "Humph! Fire Spirit Zhi, stop being rampant! Today you will definitely be used by us and become a sharp weapon in our hands!"
The whole world was suddenly filled with a group of water mist, which suddenly burst out like surging waves, forming a white world.
This water mist may not cause any harm to human cultivators, but for these spirits, it is like a fatal disaster.
Their strength was greatly reduced under the erosion of the water mist, as if they had been deprived of some power.
At this moment, the Fire Spirit Zhi, transformed into a small beast, suddenly soared, turning into a behemoth tens of feet tall.
Its power was as turbulent as a volcanic eruption, and the whole earth seemed to be shattered under this power.
This amazing power made the surrounding space tremble, as if even the heaven and earth were about to succumb to it.
Zhu Gai, Sanhu, Yang Qingsheng, and Chen Ling also immediately unleashed their power.
With a shake of their bodies, their auras suddenly burst out, like four brilliant stars shining in the night sky.
The whole world seemed to be wiped out from the entire time and space, falling into endless darkness.
This darkness devoured everything like an abyss, making people feel fear.
Li Chengfeng saw this and secretly cried out that something was wrong.
Suddenly, he found that the power of rules on his body suddenly shook, as if bound by an invisible force, unable to escape at all.
Only five loud laughs were heard, like thunder exploding in the sky, occupying the five directions of heaven and earth—east, south, west, north, and center.
The entire ten thousand miles of wind was besieged by these five people, with no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
Although Li Chengfeng talked eloquently on the surface as if he didn't take these people to heart, he also felt heavy pressure in his heart.
Because these five people are all masters of the Transformation God stage with immense strength, and they are also strong men in the late Transformation God stage.
The rules here do not suppress them at all.
They can exert their strongest strength. No more.
