In Ziyu's mind, the entire coverage area of the formation was vividly displayed, including the battles above Ground. Ziyu had a clear view of everything happening within the formation.
"This formation allows me to see everything..." Ziyu observed the battle of Squad. Due to the withdrawal of Ziyu and Lan Bing'er, Squad was struggling a bit more.
"If I want to activate this formation for an attack... it should be like this." As Ziyu connected to the Nine Heavens Extermination Formation, the formation provided some feedback, including methods for operating it.
Using spiritual power as a catalyst, it slowly entered Ground through this Platform. A faint green glow suddenly emerged in the Gully, and many Gully lit up, brightening the nearby space as well.
"Wow..." The brilliance of the Nine Heavens Extermination Formation suddenly intensified, and a faint light curtain rose at the edges. This light curtain indicated that this was the boundary; leaving here meant stepping outside the formation. However, this light curtain also had a blocking effect...
It could be said to bring hope only to then plunge one into despair.
"Be careful, something seems off; it might be Ziyu's doing," warned the enemy Squad.
Everyone knew that Ziyu was fine and likely had encountered some fortuitous event, making it unlikely for them to be trapped.
"Swish swish..." Swords of various colors appeared out of nowhere in the air, radiating dazzling light without any softness; they looked sharp and menacing.
"Everyone, hide!" The three Squad members present panicked and immediately scattered to evade the onslaught of sword energy, with no one able to focus on attacking.
Even Captain Ruan Ling was uncertain whether this was caused by Ziyu, so they could only order a retreat.
"Huh?" Captain Ruan Ling noticed that after everyone dispersed, the sword energy was flying towards their opponents, with some members already in dire straits.
"It seems like it's helping us; it must be Ziyu and Bing'er," Captain Ruan Ling laughed heartily. "Let's go, let's pursue our victory; this is our territory now!"
With a cheer, everyone soared into the air, completely ignoring the sword energy.
"Uh-oh, they are unaffected." The person across felt a chill in their heart.
There was another possibility, one that the opponent hoped for, which was that this formation was a chaotic one that could kill anyone, an unmanaged formation located in one of the few dangerous areas in this world.
In that case, it would be fair to all three parties, and Ruan Ling would still face defeat... but now it was clear that this formation was entirely aiding Ruan Ling.
Endless sword energy surged forth, increasingly madly flying toward the opponent. Some team members had already been forced to give up, which allowed the rest to remain intact.
At the bottom of the lake, beside the formation Platform.
Lan Bing'er watched Ziyu sitting cross-legged on top of the Platform, channeling spiritual energy into it, her eyes closed, seemingly unable to do anything.
"Right..." Lan Bing'er suddenly thought of something, "Formation Base."
The energy of those sword energies was certainly not from Ziyu, whose energy was pitifully low. Instead, Ziyu's energy served as a catalyst; the true source of the sword energy came from Formation Base.
The Formation Base was a special object with energy; the more powerful the formation, the greater the requirements for energy storage and balance among the Formation Bases.
"I wonder where this formation's Formation Base is. If it runs out of energy, it will be disastrous." Lan Bing'er suddenly felt anxious because she did not know the power of this formation under Ziyu's control or the energy level and storage of the Formation Base.
"Let's go look for it..." Lan Bing'er began to wander around. There was more than one Formation Base. After finding one, if any particular Formation Base started to show signs of weakening energy, then Lan Bing'er could temporarily supplement it with her own spiritual power and hold on for a while longer.
"This little girl is actually starting to look for the Formation Base." Outside of space, Ouyang Qiu watched a projection resembling a wormhole and observed Lan Bing'er's actions. "Hurry up and find it; I've set up an unstable Formation Base."
"It seems that this time the Ruan Ling Squad is about to reap rewards... However, it looks like the five squads from another oasis have nearly finished their disputes as well; it should be time to determine a winner." Ouyang Qiu was somewhat satisfied with the current team members.
"Here, here..." Lan Bing'er found a Formation Base and marked it, then began searching for a few more Formation Bases.
The Formation Bases were integrated within the formation, buried in the ground, making them difficult to discover; careful searching was required.
"There's another one here..." Lan Bing'er ran to another Formation Base and was about to mark it when the Formation Base showed signs of insufficient energy.
Without hesitation, Lan Bing'er pressed her hand on the Formation Base, and spiritual energy surged wildly into it.
"Oh no, one area is running low on energy..." Ziyu closed her eyes, taking in the entire situation of the formation.
"It won't last much longer. It's fine; we've already given the captain enough of an advantage," Ziyu thought to herself, just as she was about to give up...
"Bing'er?" Ziyu sensed that the Formation Base low on energy had received another infusion of energy, and she knew it was Bing'er's spiritual power.
"Idiot." Ziyu opened her eyes and directly stopped the operation of the formation.
"Don't waste your effort," Ziyu said as she approached Lan Bing'er. "This formation is not like the small formations we practiced; your spiritual power is too weak for it to have any effect."
Ziyu understood well the power of this formation; even Transcendent beings could not be killed by it. The materials used for the Formation Bases were not suitable for a powerful formation, which was why its strength was limited. However, its limited power did not disguise its overall might.
"Huh? How can this be?" Lan Bing'er said disappointedly. "The captain and the others are still up there."
"They already have enough of an advantage; we need to find a way out first," Ziyu replied. "This formation is simply too powerful, and when the academy placed it here, they intended for us to use it only briefly."
"Is that so..." Lan Bing'er pouted.
"Let's head up first." Ziyu's feet generated green spiritual energy and flew straight towards the lake where he had come from.
"Thud~" A dull sound echoed, and a bubble formed again at the bottom of the water, wrapping around Ziyu and the following Lan Bing'er, bringing them to the ground.
"Uh..." Ziyu was speechless; the bubble wasn't hard, but it was impossible to resist.
"Let's walk along the edge." Ziyu scratched his head, but this formation covered the entire small oasis, making it difficult to find an exit in this area.
"Alright." Lan Bing'er made a face at the water in the sky and walked along with Ziyu along the edge of the formation.
Since this formation was underground, the nearby edges were all rock, making any exit easy to identify if there was one.
"If we keep walking like this, when will it end..." After a while, Lan Bing'er began to complain; the nearby surroundings were monotonous rock, and she didn't have that much patience.
"There’s really no exit at all." After going around in circles without seeing an exit, Lan Bing'er had no choice but to sit down on the ground, feeling dejected.
"Let me think..." Ziyu walked in circles, pondering how to get out.
"Right, there’s still some energy left in the formation. Bing'er, follow me." Ziyu pulled Bing'er over to the formation's platform.
"We should be able to blast a passage out." Ziyu grinned; by using the remaining energy of the formation, they could strike the rocks and create a passage.
Of course, Ziyu had also considered summoning Battle Armor, but he didn't want to use it too early. Moreover, Battle Armor Energy recovered slowly; he wouldn't use it unless absolutely necessary.
"Stay close to the platform and don't move around so I don't accidentally hurt you," Ziyu instructed.
Lan Bing'er sat obediently beside the Platform.
Ziyu sat cross-legged, closing his eyes once again.
"Have the captain and the others resolved it?" Ziyu thought to himself, "Then there's no need to rush."
Afterward, Ziyu and Kais observed the land structure Nearby and ultimately determined the best plan.
"Let's split a path along here..." Ziyu contemplated, and a sword aura appeared out of thin air, striking down on the rock...
"Why haven't Ziyu and Bing'er come out yet?" Ruan Ling and the others sat by the lake, watching the calm surface of the water. The other two Squads dared not stay in this place at all.
"Let's wait a bit; those two should be fine," one teammate said.
"Boom... Boom..." A muffled rumbling sound began to emanate from underground, causing the Ground to tremble.
"It can't be that Bing'er and the others are in danger," Li Xuan reacted the fastest.
"We should go down and take a look," Ruan Ling decided, then leaped into the lake.
"Buzz!!" The water surface violently shook, bouncing everyone back.
"It's still the same; we can't get in at all. We don't even know what's underwater."
"Boom boom!" Just as Ruan Ling was feeling anxious, the tremors reached their peak, and a gap wide enough for a person opened up in the ground.
“Ziyu, Bing'er, are you in there?” Ruan Ling shouted towards the gap.
“Yeah, we’re here. We’ll be out in a moment,” came Ziyu's voice.
“It’s pretty fun in here…” Lan Bing'er's voice also chimed in.
“Uh…” Everyone was speechless.
“We were trapped underwater just now, and we managed to break through using the formation's attack,” Ziyu and Lan Bing'er emerged one after the other from the crack.
“That formation really was under your control… does this mean this place is our territory now?” Ruan Ling couldn't hide her joy.
“This formation doesn’t seem to have any recognition of ownership; anyone can probably use it. But don’t worry, the energy of the formation has already been exhausted after blasting out the passage,” Ziyu chuckled.
“That’s good. Let’s leave this place and find a safe spot to rest. We’ve robbed three Squads, and the top three are stable,” Ruan Ling said. “Let’s play it safe and ensure we stay in the top three. We’ll make our move again during the finals.”
In the end, the Squad decided to find an inconspicuous spot near an oasis in the desert to rest temporarily while waiting for the results.
“Hm?” As they stepped out of the oasis… no, as they stepped out of the range of the formation, a strange pattern appeared in Ziyu's mind.
“Nine Heavens Extermination Formation… it’s actually a formation diagram.” Ziyu was startled, but maintained her usual demeanor.
