The Holy Maiden didnt explain either. She merely gestured with her hands, and numerous bells ascended into the sky, producing a chiming sound. However, this time, the chiming wasnt aimed at the Sect Master but at the serpent. The moment the Holy Maiden acted, the serpent was notably affected. It appeared disoriented and forsook the Sect Master, rushing towards the Holy Maiden. The Sect Master swiftly executed hand seals, and her Flying Immortal Sword launched an assault on the serpent. This time, her attacks were far more potent. While the Flying Immortal Sword, despite being a top-tier spiritual weapon, still couldnt penetrate the serpents defenses, it inflicted substantial pain and left marks on its scales.
With both of them working together, the serpent was suppressed. Unable to endure any longer, the serpent suddenly spread short wings on both sides of its snakehead, resembling the wings of an eye-spotted snake.
Immediately, the Sect Masters expression changed.
Elemental Magnetic Storm!
Retreat quickly!
The Holy Maiden had already started to retreat, and the Sect Master was backing away.
The serpent had unleashed an Elemental Magnetic Storm! The Sect Master attempted to recall her Flying Immortal Sword, but it was too late. Many of the swords fell and lost their connection.
A large portion of the Holy Maidens bells were also damaged. The terrifying aspect of the Elemental Magnetic Storm was its ability to sever the connection between cultivators and their artifacts.
Even artifacts like flying boats couldnt function within the area of the Elemental Magnetic Storm. It was similar to the destruction caused by an electromagnetic storm on electronic devices.
Cultivators found flying within an Elemental Magnetic Storm extremely challenging, and it consumed an exceptional amount of energy.
Lead it over here!
The Holy Maiden calculated that the timing was almost right and swiftly flew towards Li Su. The Sect Master followed suit. Her Flying Immortal Sword had been significantly damaged, and she was beginning to understand why, despite its sharpness, it couldnt break through the serpents defenses.
Finally, the two of them approached Li Sus location.
The serpent had already caught up, and its speed was now faster than the two womens. It was about to reach them when the surrounding formation surged to life. Sensing the danger, the serpent tried to turn back, but it was too late.
Its Elemental Magnetic Storm was not continuous. It had weakened by now. Therefore, the Holy Maiden and the Sect Master acted simultaneously.
The serpent was momentarily blocked and then trapped. Around it, the Dayan Sword Formation appeared.
The serpents snakehead again spread its short wings, launching another Elemental Magnetic Storm. However, this time, the Dayan Swords didnt fall. The Dayan Swords were formation artifacts, and they were within Li Sus formation, so the serpents Elemental Magnetic Storm had no effect on them.
Furthermore, during its second activation, the power of the Elemental Magnetic Storm was weaker. Not only did that, but the attacks from the Dayan Swords lost much power as they approached the serpent.
The attacks from the Dayan Swords became incredibly intense, filling the entire formation with sword shadows. The serpent tried to break free in all directions but couldnt escape. Even its tails sweeping movements couldnt break the formation.
This creatures body was incredibly robust. It absorbed the elemental magnetism of Mangkang Mountain while growing up there, incorporating it as one of its abilities. However, now that it was trapped, it couldnt escape and could only endure the continuous attacks.
Under the relentless assault of the Dayan Swords, nearly an hour later, the serpents snakehead was finally severed. Its scales had astonishing defensive capabilities, and even top-grade spiritual weapons from within the Dayan Swords needed multiple attacks in the same spot to penetrate its defenses.
Once the defenses were breached, it became manageable. The serpent had encountered its nemesis in the form of the Dayan Sword Formation.
If it had faced formations primarily focused on energy attacks, like the Five Elements Thunder Formation or the Five Elements Fire Formation, unless they were of much higher levels, they wouldnt have been able to harm the serpent.
Its scales divided and absorbed the damage from lightning and fire attacks, rendering them ineffective. Only the concentrated attacks of the Dayan Swords could break through its defenses.
Its finally dead, Li Su sighed in relief.
This time, they owed their victory to the Dayan Sword Formation. Without it, this battle would have been difficult to win.
The main difficulty in dealing with this creature was its Elemental Magnetic Storm. Even though it couldnt keep it up indefinitely and could only unleash it a few times, it would drain your artifacts, leaving you defenseless. Using spells against such a heavily defended serpent was challenging.
Once I reach the Yuan Ying stage and gain more experience with formations, I should learn the fifth layer, Li Su thought.
Learning the fifth layer of the Dayan Sword Formation would enable him to create the corresponding Dayan Sword Formation. However, this required more experience in formation techniques.
After learning it, he could gather the necessary materials to set up the fifth layer of the Dayan Sword Formation. But that would require even more experience in formation techniques.
After killing the serpent, Li Su harvested its parts, cutting it into pieces. Then, he left with the Sect Master and the Holy Maiden.
Outside, Li Su quickly inspected the spoils of war. He found a serpent core and a special iteman Elemental Magnetic Pill!
This Elemental Magnetic Pill should be the key to the serpents ability to unleash an Elemental Magnetic Storm and have Elemental Magnetic protection around it.
If he could use this properly, it might have a remarkable effect. Just imagine, a cultivator approaching with a powerful magical treasure, and Li Su activated the Elemental Magnetic Storm with this Elemental Magnetic Pill.
The opponents magical treasure would instantly lose connection, leaving them dumbfounded. The expression on their face would be priceless.
Although this single Elemental Magnetic Pill may not last for more than two uses, as long as it is used at a critical moment, it could change the course of events and instantly turn the tables. This serpent was indeed a valuable finding.
