Chapter 744 -573 Killing Formation _4 Afterward, Mo Hua held his breath and concentrated his spirit, beginning to draw this attack-oriented Second-grade Formation with his thoughts as the brush and the ground as the paper. Given that it was a Second-grade Formation and not yet mastered, Mo Hua drew it rather slowly and with some difficulty. Moreover, during the process, he failed several times and wasted a bottle or two of Spiritual Ink. Heartache filled Mo Hua, so he could only sit in meditation. After calming his mind, he began to draw again. The interwoven green and red Spiritual Ink followed the movement of Mo Hua’s Divine Thought, floating in the air before merging into the ground and solidifying into the Formation… Big Tiger watched Mo Hua with a stern expression on his little face. After mulling it over for a long while but seeing no movement, Big Tiger couldn’t help but grow curious and stared at him with wide eyes. ... After an indeterminable amount of time and several failures, Mo Hua finally managed to complete the Second-grade Earth Fire Formation. His Divine Sense had been greatly depleted, leaving his complexion somewhat pale, yet his eyes still shone with excitement. Once the drawing was completed, it was time to activate the Formation and test its power. The Earth Fire Formation was rather dangerous. Mo Hua immediately ran far away, taking shelter beside Big Tiger, then watched expectantly as he slightly stirred his Divine Thought, lighting up the Formation Patterns and activating the Second-grade Earth Fire Formation with Thirteen Stripes. Three breaths later, all was calm. Nothing happened. Mo Hua was taken aback, “Did I draw it wrong?” Impossible, how could his own Formation be incorrect? He had checked it several times before. If it had been wrong, he would have definitely noticed… “Could it be… a problem with the Spiritual Ink?” “After all, it’s not Fire-series Spiritual Ink, and the materials used were cheap and the methods crude, so perhaps there was some… poor contact with the Spiritual Power?” Just as Mo Hua was uncertain in his speculations, suddenly his Divine Sense stirred, and his expression changed. His Divine Sense detected that nearly a hundred Spirit Stones used to stimulate the Formation eye on the Earth Fire Formation had instantly evaporated, vanishing without a trace. After that, on the Earth Fire Formation, the fire’s brilliance was vividly red and piercing. The flow of Spiritual Power resembled molten red bronze. In less than an instant, an astonishing explosion sounded. An extremely violent, even scorching Spiritual Power suddenly ignited, sending heatwaves sweeping outwards in all directions. The nearby vegetation turned to ash, and the rocks melted. In the center of the Earth Fire Formation’s explosion, the Spiritual Power churned and roiled like the magma in the earth’s veins, containing fearsome might… The explosion startled Big Tiger, who leaped up and quickly backed away. After landing, he dug his claws into the ground and his fur stood on end. Even after the Earth Fire Formation had finished exploding and the Spiritual Power had dissipated, leaving the surroundings charred and in a mess, Big Tiger still felt the aftermath of the shock. In silence, it turned its head to look at the small figure of Mo Hua, its large eyes filled with astonishment. It couldn’t fathom how such a small Cultivator could cause such a terrifying commotion… Mo Hua was equally shocked, murmuring absent-mindedly: “So this is… the power of the Second-grade Earth Fire Formation with Thirteen Stripes…” Formations contain the principles of the Great Dao. The higher the grade, the stronger the power. The power of a Second-grade Killing Formation far exceeded Mo Hua’s expectations. At this rate, the Second-grade Earth Fire Formation with Thirteen Stripes could severely injure any cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage! Mo Hua furrowed his brow and pondered once more. Drawing the ground into a Formation seemed to be more effective than he had thought… Especially when drawing a Killing Formation! The power of the Formation was great, but setting it up was cumbersome. If he could draw Formations unrestrictedly, with a single thought bringing the Earth Fire into being… Then, in the real world, it would be the same as within the Sea of Consciousness. Laying down Formations would be as simple as casting Spells… Even if his own Spiritual Power was not strong, but relying on his Divine Sense to lay down Formations, he would possess sufficient power to protect himself, to intimidate, and to inflict heavy casualties in actual combat… The condition was that he could draw quickly enough… The faster he drew, the stronger it would become, and he might even catch the enemy off guard and bury them in the blaze of the Earth Fire…
