Chapter 402 Breaking the Formation Together

"Yeah," Billy nodded in response. He had already noticed something was amiss.

The positions of these stone pillars might appear random, but someone skilled in arcane formations could see that they had been deliberately arranged.

"Ivy, use your power to block the God-Emperor's Chi while I try to decipher the formation." Billy continued.

"Got it!" Ivy Chandler responded. She wielded her ancient sword, creating sharp and powerful sword Chi to protect them.

Billy stood still, studying the arrangement of the stone pillars. Then, he entered a brief state of meditation, his formidable spiritual energy sweeping over him. After a few minutes, Billy opened his eyes, a glint of realization in his pupils. He then said, "Ivy, go to the side of the stone coffin."

"Okay," Ivy said, waving her sword and escorting Billy toward the center.

"Ivy, if my speculation is correct, this stone coffin is the core of this formation," Billy continued. "I'll cut off the formation lines connecting the stone coffin and the nine stone pillars. You can then try to destroy those pillars."

"Alright!"

With a whoosh, Billy gripped the Bloodshadow Fury Blade and rapidly unleashed numerous crimson blade beams. Billy's Chi cover enveloped both of them and the stone coffin, keeping the God-Emperor's Chi at bay.

"Let's do it!" After about two minutes, Billy shouted.

"Okay!" Ivy Chandler replied. She swiftly moved and sent nine sword Chi strikes toward the nine stone pillars.

A series of crisp sounds echoed as the nine stone pillars were cut down. Simultaneously, countless muffled sounds followed as the God-Emperor's Chi exploded, dissipating into nothingness. The entire space fell silent.

"Billy, we did it!" Ivy Chandler said with a hint of joy, her eyes filled with admiration for Billy. As a once-in-a-millennium genius of Secret Essences, Billy was the only person she genuinely admired. Whether it was martial arts, medicine, or arcane arts, he was the most talented individual she had ever encountered.

"Yeah," Billy smiled and said, "I'll go call them in."

Shortly after, Casey's group entered the space. They saw the horrifying blade marks on the walls and floor and couldn't help but swallow nervously. They didn't need to ask; they knew the previous battle had been intense.

"How did you manage it?" When Inkforge entered the space, he found that all the God-Emperor's Chi in the cave had disappeared, and the nine stone pillars had been severed. He wore an expression of shock. When they had first entered this space, two War God-Emperors and three War Emperors had failed to destroy even a single stone pillar. Now, Billy and Ivy Chandler had solved it in just over ten minutes.

"There is nothing my boss and sister can't handle!" Stout chimed in at just the right moment.

"Flattery expert!" Judge playfully slapped the back of Stout's head.

"I'm just stating the facts!" Stout rubbed his head and walked around the stone coffin.

"Boss, I'm afraid this stone coffin won't be that easy to open." Casey said as he examined the coffin.

There were no visible seams between the lid and the main body of the coffin, making it look like a solid piece of stone.

"Let me give it a try!" Vermilion Bird said as he drew his warblade and struck the coffin.
