Chapter 748: The Crisis Moment Facing the Cross-Domain Treasure Boat

"Danger, run away!"

Henry Zhang grabbed Zhong Haitao who was standing beside him.

Zhong Haitao hadn't yet reacted to what was happening.

"boom--"

There was a loud bang.

A fourth-level ancient monster directly crashed into the fourth-level defensive formation.

Zhong Haitao felt a chill on his back as he looked at the fourth-order ancient monster that was dozens of feet tall.

Just now, fortunately Zhang Xuan pulled him back, otherwise he would have died outside.

The fourth-level ancient monster looked angrily at the two people who hid in the defensive formation.

"boom--"

"boom--"

"boom--"

The fourth-order ancient beast hit the defensive formation again and again.

The defensive formation emits a brilliant light.

Zhang Xuan seemed to feel the board under his feet shaking constantly.

This is the power of a fourth-order ancient beast, capable of fighting against a Yuanying stage or even a peak stage.

With Zhang Xuan's current strength, he is definitely not his opponent.

There are many cultivators who have encountered the same situation as Zhang Xuan.

Some were lucky enough to hide in the defensive formation in time.

Some of them had no time at all and were torn into pieces by the fourth-level ancient beasts.

As the ancient beasts' attacks became more and more fierce, more and more monks hid in the defensive formations.

It's too dangerous outside. If you're not careful, you'll be torn to pieces by the ancient beasts.

Despite the threats and inducements from the cultivators in the Beixuan Treasure Domain, the cultivators in the treasure boat were allowed to go out to fight.

However, no matter what, no monk would take another step forward.

"We paid a lot of money to buy the boat tickets, why should we be treated as free thugs?"

"This cultivator from the Northern Xuan Treasure Territory hid himself in the treasure boat and asked us to go out and help. This is a good plan."

"That's right. If we want to go out, the cultivators from Beixuan Treasure Territory should take the lead."

"I heard that the fifth-level attack formation of Beixuan Treasure Domain has not been used yet. Is it kept for giving birth to cubs?"

There was an endless stream of complaints on the cross-domain treasure ship.

Zhong Haitao was hiding in the corner at this time, but he couldn't help shaking all over.

Too dangerous.

I had a narrow escape twice just now.

If it weren't for Henry Zhang, he would have died outside long ago.

"Brother Zhong, have you ever encountered so many ancient beasts when you were on a cross-domain treasure ship?"

Zhong Haitao shook his head: "Although there were ancient beasts robbing us on the previous inter-domain treasure ships, there were definitely not so many."

"Why is it like this this time? Did something strange happen to the ancient beast?"

……

At this time, an old man who had reached the great perfection of the Nascent Soul in the cross-domain treasure boat had a solemn expression on his face.

He is the helmsman of the cross-domain treasure ship - Xuanyuan Hong.

"Fellow Daoist Tianji, was your divination just now true?" Xuanyuan Hong looked at Old Man Tianji and asked again.

At this time, old man Tianji's face was pale.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, I didn’t expect that this divination would involve such a huge cause and effect. Even I was once again attacked by the Heavenly Dao. This time, the ancient beasts surrounded and robbed the cross-domain treasure ship, and there was indeed a fifth-level ancient beast behind the scenes directing it.”

"A fifth-level ancient beast..."

Xuanyuan Hong was silent.

The fifth-level ancient beast can only be stopped by a cultivator who has reached the state of divine transformation.

However, there was only one incarnation of the Great Saint Lord in the Beixuan Treasure Domain, and there were no extra incarnation combat forces to escort the treasure boat.

“Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, I feel that the fifth-level ancient beast is getting closer. It is only sending these low-level ancient beasts to consume the energy of the entire inter-domain treasure ship. Once the inter-domain treasure ship falls into fatigue, the fifth-level ancient beast will take action to break through the fourth-level protective formation. Then we will be lambs to be slaughtered.”

At this time, Xuanyuan Hong frowned and said, "We still have a fifth-order attack formation on our cross-domain treasure ship - the Six Tribulations Heavenly Fire Formation. We are definitely not lambs to be slaughtered by these ancient beasts."

"How many times can the sixth-order skyfire formation be used?" Old Man Tianji asked a key question.

"This……"

"The situation is critical now, Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, please stop hiding anything. The more information you reveal, the more accurate my prediction of this battle will be."

Xuanyuan Hong pondered for a while and said, "This fifth-level formation is originally a remnant formation, and the Heavenly Fire is not enough. Now... it can only be used once."

"Once... Then the probability of us being able to escape successfully this time is less than 10%."

"Less than 10%?" Xuanyuan Hong was shocked. "Is the chance of winning so low?"

"If we continue to fight on this treasure boat until the last moment, there is a 90% chance that everyone will die. If we abandon the boat and escape early, 30% of the monks can escape successfully."

These words from Old Man Tianji seemed to push Xuanyuan Hong to the forefront again.

“Alas…” Xuanyuan Hong sighed, “Others can escape, but I, Xuanyuan Hong, cannot. The inter-domain treasure boat is the backbone of the entire Beixuan Treasure Domain. In order to refine the inter-domain treasure boat, the entire Beixuan Treasure Domain was almost emptied. If I abandon the boat like this, even if I survive, how can I face the Great Saint Lord? It would be better to just kill me.”

"Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan..."

"Fellow Daoist Tianji, you don't need to persuade me anymore. You have said everything you need to say. My people will arrange for you to practice in the best room in the Trans-Domain Treasure Ship. I hope that fellow Daoist Tianji will not leave during this period of time."

"You want to put me under house arrest?" Old Man Tianji was shocked.

"This is good for you, for me, and for everyone else. The news must be blocked to avoid unnecessary panic."

Old Man Tianji was directly locked in a room high up in the Cross-Domain Treasure Boat.

At this time, more and more ancient strange beasts were lying around the formation.

They are so densely packed that they look like a bunch of ants biting an elephant.

The cross-domain treasure ship staggered forward.

The speed is also getting slower and slower.

Forget about traveling tens of millions of miles a day, even traveling ten thousand miles a day is impossible.

"Doesn't this cross-domain treasure boat have a fifth-level attack formation? Let's quickly strike these ancient beasts that are like leeches."

"Yes, if this continues, either the fourth-level protective formation will be broken, or the cross-domain treasure ship will fall under the attack of the ancient beast."

"This inter-domain treasure ship of Beixuan Treasure Domain wouldn't have a fifth-level attack formation, right?"

……

At this time, all the monks of the cross-domain treasure ship gathered on the deck, feeling anxious, their eyes looking outside at the densely packed ancient beasts.

The fourth-level defense formation was dim and uncertain, and was already in a semi-destroyed state.

Xuanyuan Hong stood above the deck, looking at the monks below with burning eyes.

When the situation is favorable, it is okay to let these monks contribute.

Now they are surrounded by ancient monsters, so it is unrealistic to ask these monks to go out and kill the enemies.

Empty promises or threats were of no use to the monks on the deck.

"My fellow Taoists, my fellow Taoists, I am Xuanyuan Hong, the helmsman of this inter-domain treasure ship..."

Xuanyuan Hong's voice rang out above the deck.

Everyone stopped discussing and looked up at Xuanyuan Hong in the sky.

"It takes time to activate the fifth-level attack formation. If the cross-domain treasure boat's defense formation is broken before the fifth-level formation is activated, no more than 30% of the monks present will survive."

"Now there are hundreds of thousands of Jindan cultivators on my ship, and thousands of Yuanying cultivators. We are definitely capable of fighting these ancient beasts."

"My Beixuan Treasure Domain will not treat you unfairly. Today, as an exception, we will open the treasure house of the inter-domain treasure boat for exchange. There are millions of rare treasures in it, which are open to everyone for exchange."

"How do you redeem it? You just have to kill ancient beasts. Killing a second-level ancient beast will earn you 1 merit point, killing a third-level ancient beast will earn you 50 merit points, and killing a fourth-level ancient beast will earn you 1000 merit points."
