Chapter 3036: Since It's One Whole, That Makes Things Easier
The clan elders shifted their positions slightly, making room for Lin Moyu.
As they moved, the entire Purple Tiger Pagoda rumbled. Lin Moyu could feel the formation inside the pagoda changing accordingly.
The eight clan elders were sitting on formation nodes, having fused into the formation and manipulating it with their own power.
Many people in the entire Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan were doing this, which was how they could barely resist the Outer God's erosion of the Purple Tiger Pagoda.
In the space they cleared, a formation node was revealed. Lin Moyu went over and sat down.
In an instant, the world before his eyes completely changed. He entered another world.
This world was composed of purple patterns. The purple patterns were beautiful and strange.
These purple patterns weren't like symbols, but they formed an incredibly powerful formation.
He had become a node in this formation.
There were many nodes in the formation, some powerful and some weak. The most powerful nodes were the clan elders.
The slightly weaker nodes were the Dao Venerable realm clan members of the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan.
They were working together to activate the formation, fighting against the Outer God.
Lin Moyu had now also become part of the formation, closer to the Outer God.
The disgust in his soul reached its peak at this moment.
Suddenly, a clan elder's voice sounded in his ear, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you've entered the core of the Purple Tiger Pagoda."
"You can see a lot of silver light. This silver light represents the Outer God."
"Many parts of the core formation have been occupied by silver light. When the silver light occupies more than half of the formation, we'll no longer be able to resist."
"We don't have much time left. Does Fellow Daoist Lin have any ideas?"
Lin Moyu recognized this as the Great Elder's voice. Following his words, he saw the other end of the formation.
The formation that should have been complete now had parts that had turned silver.
Many nodes had been occupied by silver light.
This silver light represented the Outer God.
Suddenly, the formation began to rumble, purple light flaring.
The Great Elder's voice sounded in Lin Moyu's ear again, "The Outer God is about to attack a new node. We will resist..."
As he spoke, countless purple nodes in the formation lit up, evolving into numerous lightning tigers.
The silver nodes already occupied by the Outer God also lit up, turning into Outer Gods with wings on their backs.
The lightning tigers turned into divine thunder and charged, clashing with the evolved Outer Gods.
Both sides fought fiercely inside the formation. At the center of their battle was a formation node.
The Outer God wanted to occupy this formation node, while the Lightning Purple-Striped Tigers refused to yield an inch.
The two sides seemed evenly matched, but Lin Moyu could see that the Outer God actually had a slight upper hand.
The Outer God was a single entity, its power more pure.
The power of the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger side was more scattered, with some acting independently.
Although it was hard to determine victory in the short term, over time, the Outer God would gain the upper hand.
Most importantly, the Outer God had nothing to fear, because the current power of the Purple Tiger Pagoda couldn't kill it.
So it didn't need to worry about being killed and could attack recklessly.
"No wonder in so many years, nearly a third of the formation has fallen."
"If this continues, in less than two thousand years, over half the formation will fall. At that time, the rate of the formation's collapse will rapidly accelerate."
"In at most four thousand years, the entire Purple Tiger Pagoda will be controlled by the Outer God. By then, the Lightning Purple-Striped Tigers will be extinct."
Watching the two sides fight, Lin Moyu understood what was happening.
For the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan, they didn't have much time left.
As the battle continued, Lin Moyu asked, "Do these battles happen often?"
The Great Elder replied, "Often. Basically once every ten days."
Lin Moyu continued to ask, "Are the results always the same?"
The Great Elder said, "Not the same. Sometimes the Outer God's attacks aren't fierce, but sometimes they're very fierce. It's hard to say."
Lin Moyu thought for a moment, then asked, "Is it always the Outer God attacking? Haven't you tried counterattacking?"
The Great Elder said, "We've tried, but most attempts failed. Over these years, we've reclaimed some formation nodes, but they can be counted on one hand."
Lin Moyu pressed further, "Then the formation nodes you reclaimed, were they quickly taken back, and you were never able to reclaim them again?"
"And your counterattacks are becoming weaker and weaker. If I'm not mistaken, in the recent thousand years, you haven't reclaimed a single formation node."
The Great Elder was silent for a few seconds, then said with some helplessness, "That's right."
Lin Moyu asked again, "And his attacks are often fiercest when you're changing people, right?"
The Great Elder made a sound of agreement.
Lin Moyu roughly understood. This Outer God was very clever. Over so many years, it had figured out the patterns of the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan's movements.
The Lightning Purple-Striped Tigers couldn't use the same people to guard the formation forever.
They would change people at intervals.
Except for the positions of the eight clan elders which didn't change, other people would be rotated.
Every time people were changed, the Outer God would launch fierce attacks, trying to seize formation nodes.
Moreover, in the beginning, the Outer God would give the Lightning Purple-Striped Tiger clan some sweet victories, letting them think they still had hope.
Until a thousand years ago, it completely erased this false hope.
This time Lin Moyu had come in, and the formation had some changes again. The Outer God sensed this change and thought people had been changed again.
So it launched another fierce attack. Although the attack was very fierce, it was in vain.
This time no one had been changed, just one person added.
Lin Moyu sat on his formation node, watching the battle in the distance.
A trace of the Fate Dao flew over, landing on one of the 'Outer Gods'.
These 'Outer Gods' were evolved from formation nodes, but they seemed to exist in reality.
At least when Lin Moyu saw them, his soul would generate disgust. This was the warning given by the dao.
Completing the dao lock on the enemy, a Fate sword appeared in Lin Moyu's hand.
The Fate sword slashed out silently, disappearing from Lin Moyu's hand.
In the next instant, the Fate sword appeared in front of that 'Outer God', stabbing directly into it.
The whole process was faster than lightning. The 'Outer God' couldn't react at all.
The Fate sword pierced its body. The 'Outer God' that had been fighting with the lightning tiger suddenly let out a sharp roar.
Its aura dropped a bit, but not by much.
Like it, the auras of other Outer Gods also dropped slightly, but not by much.
To be precise, the drop was less than three thousandths.
But Lin Moyu's eyes lit up, "It's effective!"
Then he stabbed two more times. After three stabs, the aura of the Outer God army dropped a tiny bit more.
"It seems there's some connection between them. Their fates are linked as one whole."
"Since you're one whole, that makes things easier!"
As Lin Moyu thought this, a pitch-black sword appeared in his palm!
