Chapter 174: The Seven Stars Shining Sun Formation!

Under the terrified gaze of Old Man Crow, Yuan Fei appeared out of thin air!

His appearance startled him greatly, but then he was overjoyed!

"A spatial spirit artifact! You actually have a spatial spirit artifact! Hahaha... Heaven has finally opened its eyes! Not only does it let me, Black Crow, obtain a supreme treasure of heaven and earth, but also a spatial spirit artifact!" Old Man Crow laughed unrestrainedly.

Seeing Old Man Crow's demeanor, Ye Yuan couldn't help but inwardly sigh at the fool.

He dared to reveal a spatial spirit artifact—did he have no confidence at all?

Why was everyone so self-righteous? Fang Yaojiang was the same, and so was Old Man Crow.

It seemed that whenever a treasure appeared, it was prepared for them.

If Fang Yaojiang had kept a proper mindset, it might not have been so easy to lure him into the trap.

"Yuan Fei, how is the practice of the Seven Stars Shining Sun Formation coming along?" Ye Yuan transmitted his voice.

"Under your guidance, through these days of practice, my clan and I have initially mastered this formation. Speaking of it, this formation is truly miraculous, allowing me to borrow the power of my clansmen and temporarily break through to the fourth rank!"

Even though Yuan Fei was usually very calm, his words revealed excitement.

These days, Ye Yuan had been acting alone, but he hadn't let Yuan Fei rest.

Yuan Fei was Ye Yuan's greatest aid for the time being; improving his strength was equivalent to improving his own.

But if he let Yuan Fei cultivate on his own, it would be unknown how many years before he could break through to the mid third rank. So Ye Yuan took a different approach and taught him a formation—the Seven Stars Shining Sun Formation!

The Seven Stars Shining Sun Formation was a fourth-rank formation of immense power. Eight Sea Transformation realm experts proficient in this formation could even challenge Soul Sea realm experts across ranks!

If such a formation were to leak out, the major sects would surely fight over it!

If ten third-rank demon beasts like Yuan Fei used this formation, killing a Sea Transformation first layer like Old Man Crow would be as easy as killing a dog!

Unfortunately, among Yuan Fei's clan, only Yuan Fei was a third-rank demon beast. So Ye Yuan selected forty-nine second-rank late-stage Stone-Arm Apes from Yuan Fei's clan, every seven forming a small Seven Stars Shining Sun Formation, and together with Yuan Fei, they composed this formation.

Though its power wasn't as strong as with true third-rank demon beasts, it could still elevate Yuan Fei's strength by a whole level!

The essence of the Seven Stars Shining Sun Formation was to use the evolution of the formation to amplify the attacks of seven people, and finally, the eighth person would deliver the ultimate strike!

The attacks of the seven, amplified layer by layer through the formation, would reach a power that was awe-inspiring when the eighth person struck!

Although Yuan Fei and his clan had only initially mastered this formation, trapping Old Man Crow should be no problem!

"Kid, you don't think that with a third-rank spirit beast, you can deal with me, do you? Hahaha..." Black Crow couldn't help but laugh again upon seeing Yuan Fei's strength.

Ye Yuan's move was simply childish to the extreme.

Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "You're wrong. It's not just Yuan Fei—it's a group!"

As soon as Ye Yuan finished speaking, forty-nine second-rank late-stage Stone-Arm Apes appeared instantly!

These forty-nine Stone-Arm Apes, in groups of seven, stood in a seven-star formation, surrounding Yuan Fei in the center, and faintly exuded a momentum not inferior to Old Man Crow's.

Old Man Crow didn't think much of it and said indifferently, "You actually have an entire clan of Stone-Arm Ape spirit beasts and own a spatial spirit artifact. It seems you have an extraordinary background! But precisely because of that, you are even more certain to die today!"

Ridiculous—a single third-rank initial demon beast and a group of second-rank late-stage demon beasts were nothing but trash. What threat could they pose to him, a Sea Transformation realm expert?

At most, they would delay Ye Yuan's death.

However, Old Man Crow did feel some apprehension about Ye Yuan's identity. A mere Liquid Refinement second layer rookie, not only could he subdue a third-rank demon beast, but he also possessed a spatial spirit artifact—such a treasure. His origins were likely not simple.

It seemed he had to be thorough and leave no loose ends to avoid future trouble!

"Heh, is that so? You can try it." Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, indifferent to Black Crow's posturing.

"Try it, then. A bunch of ants—can they really overturn the heavens?"

Old Man Crow, with a look of disdain for the world, swung his scepter and attacked Yuan Fei!

This strike seemed light and airy, but when it reached Yuan Fei, it was as heavy as Mount Tai!

Old Man Crow sneered coldly, ready to crush Yuan Fei in one blow.

Facing a Sea Transformation realm expert, Yuan Fei naturally dared not be careless. He had already activated the Seven Stars Shining Sun Formation when Old Man Crow made his move.

At that moment, Yuan Fei struck out with an iron palm, intending to clash head-on with Old Man Crow!

The two strikes met, and Old Man Crow showed a look of shock!

Yuan Fei's strike was no weaker than his!

This... how was this possible?

"Boom!"

The two attacks exploded in midair!

A draw!

Sea Transformation realm experts had already transcended the mundane, so in their eyes, all below Sea Transformation were ants.

Old Man Crow couldn't believe it. He was a Sea Transformation realm expert—how could he be evenly matched with a bunch of ants?

And at this moment, Old Man Crow was already tightly surrounded by a group of Stone-Arm Apes!

"This is a formation? Yes, it must be a formation! But what formation could have such power, allowing a third-rank initial demon beast to possess the combat strength of a Sea Transformation expert? Unbelievable!" Old Man Crow was now nothing but astonished.

"Heh, Senior Black Crow, are you satisfied with the result of the test?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Old Man Crow's face darkened. This kid was relentless!

"Hmph! I never thought there could be such a marvelous formation in this world! But... is this your greatest reliance? You underestimate a Sea Transformation realm expert too much!" Old Man Crow sneered.

"How could I underestimate a Sea Transformation realm expert? It's just that Senior Black Crow pushed too hard, and I had no choice but to resist. How about we each take a step back, and you let me leave?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Old Man Crow's eyes flickered. "Letting you leave is not impossible, but leave behind the heavenly treasure, the spatial spirit artifact, and this formation!"

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "Senior is not sincere at all. If I hand over these things, what capital would I have to negotiate with you? In my opinion, Senior probably doesn't intend to let me go, right? Afraid I'll go home and find my elders?"

Old Man Crow's gaze turned sharp. This kid was young but not easy to fool.

"Hmph! So what if I am? I don't believe that a mere formation can allow a bunch of ants to threaten a Sea Transformation realm expert!"

With that, Old Man Crow emitted a powerful aura, and the surrounding yuan force seemed to be plundered by him alone.

This was the terror of a Sea Transformation realm expert!
