Condemning the Heavens Chapter 428

Chapter 428: 428
Hei Gou looked at Xue Wei puzzledly, but he did not say anything . Instead, he gathered Qi within his palm and struck it directly into the barrier .
A boom resounded in the surrounding area, and the barrier shook drastically . While it did not dissipate, the glimmer of the barrier was much less than before and much easier to see through . Clearly, the attack had caused severe damage, and Hei Gou had not even used a martial art skill, all he did was gather Qi in his palm and strike it .
Frowning, Xue Wei looked at the formation, and Hei Gou tried attacking with one more palm attack . The formation instantly shattered, and the stones and ores used turned dull as the energy within had been used up trying to maintain the formation .
Xue Wei sighed as he felt the pain in his heart for wasting so many precious materials, but he began creating the same formation again .
"Try now," he said, and this time the formation lasted four strikes from Hei Gou before it collapsed .
Like this, Xue Wei and Hei Gou spent the entire day creating and destroying formations . As time went on, Xue Wei became increasingly proficient in creating them, and soon it took Hei Gou a lot of effort to destroy them .
In the end, he was actually unable to destroy the formation even when using his innate skills that had the most power .
But even so, Xue Wei called out Bai Tianyi, Lin Xiao, and Luoluo, and had them attacking the formation as well .
It was not before early in the following morning that he was able to create a formation barrier that he was satisfied with .
While they had been creating and destroying the formations, many had observed them with shock and complete disbelief . Everyone knew that formations were incredibly hard to understand and create, not to mention they were costly due to the ores and essence stones needed . Still, Xue Wei had destroyed so many valuable ores time and time again .
It looked like he had no care about the price he paid . While it seemed careless to everyone who was present, Xue Wei and his friends knew the pain that Xue Wei was feeling from using up all those precious materials .
But he was also aware that to improve his performance in the art of formations, he needed to invest some materials .
Fortunately, he had found an essence stone vein back in the Thunder Twilight Zone, and he had managed to get many top-grade essence stones .
These essence stones were initially planned to be used as cultivation resources, but there were so many that even if they were going to use a handful a day while cultivating, they would not run out for thousands of years .
As such, it did not matter if they used up half of them on testing formations . These formations could help them protect them; they were also able to make illusion formations, and even formations that could attack their enemies .
Xue Wei set up the barrier that he had spent a whole day and night learning how to create, and then he went to his room . Hei Gou and the others did the same, all of them ready to cultivate .
Xue Wei did not begin cultivating right away . Instead, he found various herbs from his storage treasures alongside a mortar and pestle, after which he began crushing the herbs, releasing their efficiency, and imbued the liquid with his spiritual energy .
Then he found a large stack of parchment papers, after which he also took out a quill .
After gathering all the things, and preparing the ink, Xue Wei began drawing some patterns on the parchment . The pattern he was making was a Space Lock Inscription .
It used the very rare element of space, and as the name implied, it made it impossible for things to move within . If someone locked space, every attack, and every person, would become frozen . Only the person who used the Space Lock Inscription would be able to move .
This attack was quite peculiar . If the opponent was stronger than the creator of the inscription, then the time that the space lock worked would be shorter . The stronger the opponent, the shorter the duration .
The Space Lock Inscription was able to lock down many people at once, but the more people it locked down, the inscription would stay active for a shorter time .
Even so, the Space Lock Inscription was immensely essential and could save a life, so Xue Wei decided to make this inscription .
The main ingredient was a herb with a space element; an herb called Space Tear .
This herb was also obtained in the Thunder Twilight Zone, and Xue Wei had quite a few of them, so he was not worried too much about being able to create enough Space Lock Inscriptions .
Like this, a few days went by . Xue Wei was fully focused on creating inscriptions, and every inscription he made resulted in his spiritual energy increasing in strength .
At the same time, his friends were immersed in cultivation, but Hei Gou came to Xue Wei's side, his expression looking slightly forlorn .
"I am interested in learning a profession," Hei Gou finally said after sitting still for some time, wondering if he should speak . "Lin Xiao is a beast tamer, a Diviner . Bai Tianyi is a specialist in formations and inscriptions . You are the same, but also an alchemist . It is only Luoluo and myself who do not have a profession, and I need one right now . "
"Oh?" Xue Wei was puzzled . "What profession do you need?"
"I need to become an armament master . My claws need to be upgraded, but we have no armament masters in our team, and I thought that I would like to become one . "
