Chapter 6217: Lifting It

The pile of flour was used by the ants and taken inside the formation. It could stop emperors and desolate gods but the flour-ladened ants had no issue circling and entering, building lines and coordinates as if they understood the arrays.

If an existence powerful enough were to take a look at the entire formation, they would find a perfect map of the arrays with the flour lines. Each ant understood the formation in addition to having perfect teamwork.

Orchidcore and the others observed the initial lines and became immersed.

“How can this be?” They became slack-jawed, utterly amazed by the ants’ teamwork and precision.

“Were they trained before?” Monk Zhu asked.

Supreme geniuses with impressive cultivation couldn’t break this formation.

“Don’t look at the ants, that’s not the thing breaking the formation.” Li Qiye said.

“How do you know this?” Orchidcore couldn’t help but ask.

Li Qiye only smiled and didn’t respond.

“Okay, it is time.” The monarch clapped after seeing the full arrays and said: “See, not a big deal at all.”

“What are you going to do?” Orchidcore asked.

“I will lift and take it since it’s not bad.” The monarch laughed.

“Lift it?” The group didn’t understand because it was one with the land.

The monarch swung his wooden sword and chanted: “Spirits of heaven, spirits of earth, gods and generals, shift mountains, move oceans, and lift the sky...”

The ants lined up into groups and with a final command, they excitedly marched.

The group could sense their powerful steps capable of smashing the ground. The group exchanged glances of astonishment while watching the impressive and rhythmic stampede.

When they disappeared into the formation, the monarch tossed a handful of garlic into his mouth and shouted indistinctly: “Go!”

He spewed out witchflames into the formation, burning the flour lines with it. Flames covered the formation but didn’t harm the ants. In fact, they seemed to be empowered and turned into fiery soldiers.

“Rumble!” They stood on two legs, raising the entire formation.

“!” This naturally astounded spectators.

“He can shift the formation?!” Another said.

They saw people destroy formations before by either focusing on the gaps or understanding the mysteries, not lifting the full arrays.

“Good, good, I’ll be taking this.” The monarch was pleased with himself.

Having said that, he opened a bag and took in the formation. The fog and mist immediately dispersed.

“He did it...” The group remained speechless.

Some had seen primal ancestors and heaven-slayers before along with their wonderful techniques and methods. However, their view on cultivation was shattered today.

Powers came from cultivation and the dao yet ordinary things were effective under his usage.

“Didn’t I say my witchcraft was the greatest?” The monarch raised his head and proudly declared.

This time around, the group couldn’t make fun of him.

“Not bad at all.” Li Qiye smiled.

“Hahaha, I spent a few eras creating it.” He arched his chest forward, feeling complacent.
