In the blink of an eye, the Three Cultivators shared a Flying Chariot, cutting through the Crimson Fire Ant Sea like a ship slicing through waves, appearing on the horizon. Soon after, a Crimson Ant King, about the size of a large dog, followed closely behind, rapidly closing in.
The Three Cultivators on the Flying Chariot were clearly terrified to the extreme. They poured all their magical energy into the Flying Chariot. It emitted a piercing sound as it sped towards Xunuo and the others.
Although the Three Cultivators could not sense Xunuo's presence, they had previously left magical imprints on each other. With this trace, they could still locate the position of the Three Talents Confining Dragon Formation.
In an instant, the Flying Chariot whizzed past the Three Talents Confining Dragon Formation. The pursuing Crimson Fire Ant King charged into the formation at an incredible speed. A loud crash echoed like a bull colliding with a mountain, shaking the entire ground.
The Crimson Fire Ant King felt as if it had hit an iron wall, dazed and nearly losing consciousness. However, this Demonic Insect was also immensely powerful. After spinning in mid-air a few times, it realized it was trapped in a confined space. Enraged, it opened its sharp mandibles and spewed forth a burst of green Poison Fire.
Under the corrosive effect of this Poison Fire, the formation revealed its shape almost instantly. The areas affected by the Poison Fire emitted strange crackling sounds and faintly revealed a hollow space. The Crimson Fire Ant King's thick antennae pointed toward this hollow. The two antennae intertwined, emitting a beam of emerald light that quickly opened up this hollow into a passageway. With a flap of its four transparent wings, the Crimson Fire Ant King attempted to slip through.
Seeing this, Xunuo hurriedly waved his Formation Flag. Suddenly, the scene before the Crimson Fire Ant King changed; the passageway had vanished without a trace. In the next moment, it crashed headlong into the formation. Furious, the Crimson Fire Ant King let out a series of strange and chaotic roars before spewing another burst of Poison Fire, determined to force open another passage.
At that moment, Xunuo and Stone Tianci had already shifted out of the formation just as the Crimson Fire Ant King collided with it. Even so, they were jolted by the shockwave from such a tremendous impact, causing their blood to surge and leaving traces of blood at the corners of their mouths.
Xunuo dared not let this creature break through the formation again. He shook his Formation Flag repeatedly, causing the Crimson Fire Ant King's position within the formation to shift constantly. The atmosphere inside changed dramatically; dark clouds rolled in and temperatures plummeted. Ice spikes over a foot long began to rain down from above.
As a Fire Attribute Demonic Insect, the Crimson Fire Ant King was most afraid of cold environments. In such icy conditions, even its full magical power would be suppressed by two or three levels.
Seeing this, Stone Tianci wiped away blood from his mouth and shouted loudly, "If we don't take this chance to slay this beast now, when will we?" He was the first to summon a giant axe artifact and swung it at the Crimson Fire Ant King. The other Cultivators followed suit, unleashing their artifacts in a fierce assault against the Crimson Fire Ant King.
As Xunuo activated the formation, he summoned a Water Attribute Flying Sword and struck at the Crimson Fire Ant King.
Meanwhile, the three Cultivators who had lured the Crimson Fire Ant King redirected their Flying Chariot to join in the assault.
Under the combined attack of various magical tools and formations, the Crimson Fire Ant King found itself unable to retaliate. Instinctively aware that these magical artifacts posed a greater threat, it unleashed its green light and azure flames towards them. It dismissed the ice spikes generated by the formation with contempt, effortlessly melting them away with a flash of Crimson Radiance.
Xunuo and the others dared not let their artifacts come into direct contact with the Crimson Fire Ant King's green light and azure flames; they focused instead on depleting its magical energy.
Stone Tianci had long warned everyone that this would be a war of attrition. They could not hope to kill this Demonic Insect in a short time; they had to wear it down gradually. Only when its magical energy was exhausted could they injure it and ultimately defeat it.
At this critical moment, they aimed to trap it and grind down its aggression, forcing it to focus on defense. They wanted it to feel that defending itself would not threaten its life, creating a situation akin to boiling a frog in warm water. When it finally realized that even defense was becoming difficult, its demise would be imminent.
The nine of them surrounded the Crimson Fire Ant King outside the formation, relentlessly attacking. Indeed, they had worn it down to a point where it was struggling to defend itself. However, within less than a meal's time, Xunuo found his magical energy depleted first as he tried to multitask. Seeing that the other eight were still energetically wielding their artifacts, he sighed inwardly and took out a spirit stone to replenish his energy.
After another period of frenzied attacks, two more Cultivators felt their magical energy waning. Yet they did not stop their assault; instead, they pulled out spirit stones, continuing their attacks while replenishing their energy. Frustrated by this comparison, Xunuo simply closed his eyes, choosing not to see and thus avoiding further annoyance.
They continued this assault for half a day. Several Cultivators were heavily drained, each holding a spirit stone in both hands as they panted while activating their artifacts against the Crimson Fire Ant King. However, the Crimson Fire Ant King seemed to have lost all desire to counterattack. It directed its green light and azure flames onto its protective Crimson Radiance, causing its red glow to intensify and deflect all incoming attacks.
At this moment, Stone Tianci finally breathed a sigh of relief and signaled two exhausted Cultivators to cease their attacks and focus on recovering their magical energy. Thus, this hunting operation entered a stalemate phase—one that would take the longest but posed the least risk.
During this time, Xunuo decided to concentrate solely on controlling the Three Talents Confining Dragon Formation and refrained from participating in any artifact attacks. He also kept a close watch on the Tracking Disk. Although Black Wind Old Monster had yet to reveal himself, Xunuo remained vigilant against him.
After two days of relentless assault from both artifacts and formations, the Crimson Fire Ant King's defensive Crimson Radiance began to dim. Inside the Three Talents Confining Dragon Formation, it could not replenish its magical energy; thus, its declining defense became irreversible. The other cultivators felt invigorated upon witnessing this change, knowing that slaying this foe was now just around the corner.
However, during an exploration of the Tracking Disk, Xunuo unexpectedly discovered a layer of rippling waves on its surface. Confused and alarmed, Xunuo felt a surge of caution, fearing that something unusual might occur, especially worried about the sudden appearance of the Black Wind Old Monster.
Seeing that others showed no signs of abnormal behavior, Xunuo refrained from making wild guesses. Instead, he quietly took out a Dan Lei and wrapped it with two invisibility talismans before tossing it into the formation.
Stone Tianci, with keen eyes, noticed Xunuo unleashing such a powerful weapon and quickly signaled everyone to prepare for a decisive strike. The Dan Lei, hidden among the countless ice spikes, fell silently. The moment it touched the crimson aura surrounding the Crimson Fire Ant King, it erupted with a tremendous explosion. The overwhelming energy from the blast threatened to overturn the Three Talents Confining Dragon Formation.
