Chapter 5561
In a blink of an eye, the disciples formed two formations in a group of 50 people with
Darryl in-between them.
A formation? Antigonus stopped mid-air, squinting at the people as he sneered, "Darryl, do
you think your formation can stop me?” 1
Even though his Power of the Fiend Soul was severely depleted, it was more than enough
to deal with the disciples in front of him. Due to Antigonus' perceptive nature, he knew
Darryl was a person with extraordinary capability after fighting with him several times,
hence his momentary pause.
Darryl chuckled inwardly when he noticed Antigonus pausing. He was right after all; the
supreme leader of the fiend race was a wary person. He only needed to instruct the
disciples to form a fake formation to scare him off.
Yes. Darryl was not forming a formation when he instructed the disciples to form a group
of 50 people to stand in front and back of him. It was all to scare Antigonus. He knew there
was no formation powerful in the world that could trap him. 2

form a formation, Antigonus could spot the weakness of the formation immediately. Thus,
Darryl did the opposite. He simply had the disciples band together to somewhat fool
Antigonus, when in reality, it barely did anything.
He thought that by doing this, Antigonus would not be able to tell what he was trying to
do.
Obviously, he took a gamble. The situation in front of him forced him to a corner. He had
not recovered his divine energy yet, so he could not fight against Antigonus. It was even
unrealistic if he hoped Mount Hua Sect was able to protect him.
As Antigonus teased him, he smiled and acted nonchalant, saying, "Your Excellency has
such a sharp pair of eyes. That's right; this is a formation. As for its power, why don't you
come and try it for yourself?”
Antigonus' expression darkened. He carefully monitored the formation formed by the
disciples of Mount Hua Sect. 'It's just a group of people in the front and back; there's
nothing special about it.
'Wait, no. Darryl is a sly man, and I shouldn't easily fall into his trap,' Antigonus debated
with himself.
Darryl put on a serious look and said, "I'm not afraid to tell you. This formation is called
the Upturn Formation, and Ancient Ancestor taught me this when I became the Nine
Heaven Sage. Come to think of it, I never had the chance to use this formation after I
learned it. I suppose this is the day I test its prowess, seeing as I have the pleasure of
meeting you tonight."
Maintaining his steely expression, Darryl knew for a fact that he must never falter when
playing mind games with Antigonus. Thus, Darryl made it like it was real and deliberately
used the name of the Ancient Ancestor.
'A formation from the Ancient Ancestor?' Antigonus was shocked, and his expression
hardened. If it was truly a formation from the Ancient Ancestor, he should not
underestimate it.
Little did he know, he had been fooled. The disciples had simply grouped themselves into
two groups, and it was never a special formation to begin with.

questioningly. 'Aren't we all just lining up in two groups? What's so great about that?'
Antigonus continued to float mid-air as he was unable to make up his mind about his next
move. He was at a standstill with Darryl.
As the night was getting late, barely a sound was heard from their surroundings.
Levi and the disciples of Mount Hua Sect were very nervous. If Darryl could not defeat or
hold back Antigonus, the sect would be doomed!
Seconds later...
"Hahaha!" Antigonus cackled as he mocked Darryl, "You're so sneaky! You nearly scared
me!"
Then, he looked at the disciples and continued, "Even with your Upturn Formation, how
powerful can it be when it's formed with these puny, antlike cultivators? Let me assure
you, there's no way for you to escape today, and the same goes for this sect.
"None of you can walk out of here alive!"
Everyone shuddered upon hearing the arrogance in Antigonus' voice.
To Antigonus, he believed the Upturn Formation must be powerful and tricky since it was
passed on to Darryl from the Ancient Ancestor. Nonetheless, it could not possibly possess
powerful strength since it was formed by the disciples of the Mount Hua Sect!
