Chapter 1126 This Is Bad!


    The fight seemed impossible to win, especially under such circumstances. And yet everyone fought bravely, showing great might and challenging any iing enemies, stopping them all without losing much in return.


    The high-end masters didn''t hold back at anything, and used their strongest techniques when time needed to. They didn''t focus on killing everything around them, just wounding them enough for the rest of the masters around to take them down.


    Doing so made them free little time and effort, enough to sustain a faint bnce between getting crushed or overly exhausted. As for William, he kept moving between the vast frontline, acting as a firefighter. He''d spot any ce where things were going out of control, before heading towards and help masters there to sustain the pressure.


    These asions weren''t rare, happened especially at the intervals between the formations heid before. He used everything in his power, his monstrous and flying weapons, even his grenades.


    Slowly two days passed. During which, they had to retreat slowly as the formations kept getting exhausted one batch after another.


    William tried his best to dy such retreat, by cing formations in the areas that were before in between the previous formations. Like this, masters who were operating formations had to shift ces with the teams defending the areas between them. And that saved them around half of the distance they should have crossed if he simplyid formations in one circle.


    After two days, the digging teams managed to dig many longitudinal holes. But it was still too early to say they dug even one-fifth of the entire ground.


    Yet it was enough for William to assess things down there.


    First of all, the hostile formation ran for around seventy kilometres deep. That meant they got around thirty up to fifty kilometres of distance as buffer zones, enough for them to retreat slowly while killing the enemies.


    They just retreated for five kilometres in two days. And that meant they could spend around twelve up to fourteen days before they''d arrive at the edge of the whole area.


    At the same time, William built formations enough to cover half of that distance. He still got around twenty kilometres without a single formation there, and he started to fill this gap with formations, tightly packing them like before, while examining the rock formations unearthed at the holes.


    They were ced in a slightlyplicated design. As the linear holes were at least five kilometres apart, William had to read through all this and specte the designs that were hidden under dirt and ground.


    At first, it felt hard to do so, especially when he tried to find a familiar pattern in his mind and memory. But when he failed, he decided to just keep reading through these designs randomly and decided to divide them into segments and zones, pieces of a grand puzzle.


    Doing so made him realise something. "This isn''t just a single formation, but three alternating with each other!!!"


    This was quite a surprising discovery, as he never expected that. He found out that out of the linear holes, every three seemed to share the same design together. And when he moved around, checking other holes, he realised such a pattern alternated with two others, as if three formations were ced in a group, and this group got repeated all around the ce.


    "This formation is close to the Eye Focus formation, and this one is simr to the Spirit Condensing formation… The third is simr to the Explosive Mark formation… These three are simr to famous ones in the outer universe, with little changes to make it suitable for the low realm… Interesting!"


    He figured out the three formations, and the moment he did so he managed to link these to three of the most famous formations in the outer world.


    The Eye Focus formation was one that could help in concentrating spirit power from the world or other formations around into a single elliptical eye shape. It has the ability to store an insane amount of spirit power in a region.


    Then the Spirit Condensing formation was there to aid the Eye Focus formation in gathering up and concentrating spirit power. Then the third formation was the one responsible for detonating the entire spirit power stored within.


    "This is bad…" William realised everything rted to the three formations used, and then he knew how grave the current situation was. He nned everything based on the presence of a single grand formation around this area. By interfering and ruining this formation in arge part, the entire formation would crumble and lose its function, fall apart on its own.


    And yet this wasn''t the case here. There wasn''t a single grand formation surrounding the entire area, but a group of three alternating with each other, surrounding the entire area.


    That meant he wasn''t dealing with just a single grand formation, but arge number of these three formations. Every three formations formed a unit, working together to deliver the same desired effect the enemies wanted.


    Trying to mess with a single unit or a group of units wouldn''t change anything. The area would still get detonated by the remaining formations, ending up exploding like a colossal bomb.


    Discovering all this was a game changer for William. He now revoked his old n, and didn''t think that much about the time and effort he and others spent on achieving that n.


    Right now, he is only two paths ahead of him, two paths ahead of everyone else. They''d either try the impossible, circle the entire area, dig the ground, fight enemies endlessly, and hope for a miracle to happen.


    Or, he''d have to find a way to foil all this, without the need to do any of that. To him, the second path was the most logical one, yet it needed a genius idea to have it executed.


    "The problem is the Focus Eye formation… Taking it out of the form, and everything would be for nought…" he muttered to himself, standing still while thinking deeply and thoroughly about this.
