Snow Demon Ogre's Treasury
Feng Yun was clueless about what to do in this situation. The beast was too strong. He could not sense the cultivation of it but from the pale looks of Guo Leng and the elders, it should be stronger than even them. Feng Yun did not have any strategies for defeating the massive beast. His strength was too low and his assassin skills would not do shit against a high defense monster like the Snow Demon Ogre. He could not expect to escape under the monster's piercing gaze. The only hope he had was managing to get past the ogre and entering the treasury it had. If he could somehow use whatever was there in order to kill it, then the group would be saved. It was a risky bet, but Feng Yun was placing all of his hopes on it.
He looked up from his thoughts to see that the elders from the Guo Family as well as a few Xiantian Cultivators from outside were attempting to suppress the monster. Hao Jiang was among these people. They unleashed their qi to the max and encircled the ogre. These cultivators had the cultivation of the fifth and sixth layer of the Xiantian realm and were very powerful. Furthermore, their movements appeared to be coordinated. This kind of coordinated attack would make even cultivators at the Xiantian Eighth Layer slightly wary. The monster was not even fazed however. It merely stared at then and it's enormous claws opened up and unleashed a flurry of ice cold qi that rushed at the Xiantian cultivators.
"Xiantian Realm...Eighth Layer Peak stage!" Guo Leng shouted at the top of his lungs. He himself was only at the seventh layer of the Xiantian realm. Even if they were to coordinate against it, they would still suffer massive casualties. Feng Yun and Xia Qing opened their eyes wide with shock.
"Xiantian realm eighth stage peak. Why the hell would you call us Tempered Body layer cultivators here if the opponent was at this level!?" Feng Yun was furious and said this with a frown. Xia Qing also had the same reaction. Guo Leng still had a terrified look on his face.
"Three years ago...when we last fought it, it was at the Xiantian realm third layer and we were still unable to defeat it. How could it have made this much of a growth in only three years?!" Guo Leng was slightly despaired. Feng Yun was slightly surprised. Five stages passed through in such a short time? A normal beast like this who isn't even a divine beast shouldn't be able to have this much talent, unless something assisted it.
"It couldn't be...in its treasury is something that helped it out with its cultivation." Feng Yun thought this was the most logical conclusion and stared at the large black entrance behind the Snow Demon Ogre. the gigantic beast swiped it's claws at the experts. Their coordination was enough to avoid the most destructive parts of the attack but they still staggered and suffered minor internal injuries. The snow demon ogre didn't possess too much combat experience, Feng Yun realized. It had been cooped up in here for so long that it didn't have the chance so fight with other beasts that much. It's aura is also slightly unstable. It should have made a breakthrough not too long ago and never stabilized it. This was good for the opposing side but the power that the ogre exhibited was still not something to laugh at. They needed to be very careful.
Guo Leng reached the same conclusion as Feng Yun did and shouted at the Xiantian realm cultivators.
"Initiate the Xiantian Combined Formation!" Guo Leng shouted to the cultivators. They all nodded their heads but the surrounding Tempered Body cultivators were surprised. What was this combined formation. Was it a formation exclusive to Xiantian realm cultivators? Their questions were answered in the next moment.
"Sou!!!" A massive rush of energy began to erupt out of the Xiantian realm cultivators and gradually got stronger. They began to move in a coordinated way until they formed a perfect circle. Guo Leng stood in the center and was drawing on the energy being emitted by the cultivators. His cultivation rose little by little and a celestial aura enveloped him. Feng Yun was awestruck. This was a formation in order to raise ones cultivation for a short period of time. He had read about something similar to this in a book but he could never make the connection. Guo Leng 's cultivation rose from the seventh layer to the peak of the eighth layer of the Xiantian realm.
