Chapter 15881 Three Days
"It's due to external forces. There's a force that's been holding back our large magical artifacts, preventing them from speeding up. That's why our large magical artifacts are moving much slower now."

"Activate the small hammer to defend the area around the large hammer," Fan Huajin said. He called it a small hammer because the official name of their magical artifact is the Seven Star Heart-Questioning Hammer. It sounds like the name of a small magical artifact, but they specifically used it for this large artifact. The main reason for this is that this name is actually the name of the magical artifact used by the first sect leader of the Copper Man Sect. Later, to commemorate their first sect leader, they gave the artifact this name.

So others jokingly call their magical artifacts the Eight Great Balls, while they themselves call them Big Hammer and Little Hammer. Everyone understands what they mean when they say that.

Immediately, a disciple responded and then quickly tapped the compass in his hand. With his movement, the speed of the seven small balls increased instantly. The seven small balls began to rotate rapidly around the large ball. This was a form of defense. If any force was used against their large hammer, they could directly break through that force with the small hammers, thus eliminating any problems.

However, they made a mistake this time. The power was not applied to their large magical artifacts, but rather directly to the environment. In other words, the Seven Star Heart-Questioning Hammer of the Bronze Man Sect was essentially operating in the sea. Therefore, even if the smaller hammer defended around the larger hammer, it would not increase the speed of the magical artifact.

The disciple controlled the small hammer for a while, then looked up at Fan Huajin and said, "Elder Fan, it's not working. That power seems to exist in space. No matter how we try to break through it, it's useless. We still can't increase our speed."

Fan Huajin immediately understood the disciple's words. A slight smile appeared on his face, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll go out and take a look." As soon as he spoke, a disciple opened one of the entrances to the large magical artifact. Fan Huajin moved and flew out of the artifact. Once outside, his expression changed. He immediately understood why their large magical artifact couldn't move fast. As soon as he came out, he felt an enormous pressure all around him. This pressure existed throughout the entire space. They were no longer just moving in the sea; they were moving underground. It felt like they were surrounded by mud, which was constantly squeezing them. Under such circumstances, it would be strange if their large magical artifact could increase its speed.

He glanced around but couldn't see anything. Then, he moved and returned to the large magical artifact. Once inside, his expression darkened. After a while, he spoke, "Let's stop, set up our defenses, and assess the situation. It seems we're trapped in a high-pressure space. We can't increase our speed, so there's no point in moving forward. We need to think carefully about whether our energy can last. If we needlessly deplete all our energy, we'll be in danger."

Although Fan Huajin was somewhat impulsive, he wasn't stupid. Upon realizing that their large magical artifacts couldn't escape their current situation, he immediately changed his approach and prepared to defend first. He was also well aware that they hadn't brought much energy with them this time. If their energy ran out, the combat power of their large magical artifacts would be greatly affected. Although their disciples could input energy into the artifacts, it still wouldn't be enough when it came to actual combat.

The reason they didn't bring much energy was because they planned to seize energy on the spot. In their view, once they arrived at the Gate of Hell, they could take down the sect there and take the energy stored in that sect, thus ensuring they wouldn't lack energy. However, who could have imagined that upon arriving here, they would fall directly into the enemy's trap without even attacking anyone? Moreover, it seemed unlikely that they could break out in a short time. Under these circumstances, they had to consider the issue of energy.

Upon receiving Fan Huajin's order, everyone there responded and began preparations, bringing their large magical artifacts to a stop.

In fact, it wasn't just Fan Huajin and his group; all the other large magical artifacts also stopped, because they had also discovered that their attacks had no effect on the surrounding environment. They all realized the energy issue, which is why they had to stop.

When Ding Chunming and the others saw that they had all stopped, they couldn't help but smile slightly. Then they went to rest. They believed that after a while, these guys wouldn't be able to cause any trouble, so they weren't in a hurry.

For the next three days, Elder Zhen did not attack Yuanming and his group, allowing them to enjoy three peaceful days. However, despite the lack of fighting, their expressions remained grim. They were trapped, and this continued confinement was troublesome. They had been waiting for the Blood Slaughter Sect to attack, believing that an attack would reveal weaknesses, giving them a chance to break out. But the sect's refusal to attack, their prolonged silence, was unbearable. It was a form of mental torture, a feeling of being unable to endure it. It was like being a prisoner led to the execution ground, about to be beheaded, but the executioner's blade was raised but not brought down. The waiting was agonizing.

The one who remained relatively calm during these three days was Zhuge Qingsong. Zhuge Qingsong was a smart man, and from the very beginning, he wanted to defend. In the following three days, they were not attacked, and Zhuge Qingsong immediately guessed Elder Zhen's plan. He was not in a hurry and just waited there. He believed that Elder Zhen could not remain silent indefinitely. As long as he attacked them, they would have a chance.

Three days later, Elder Zhen decided to launch an attack on them. During these days, Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun spent their free time in the command hall, chatting with Elder Zhen from time to time, showing no signs of being in a hurry.

The two men came out of their room that day and saw Elder Zhen watching a projection. Upon seeing Elder Zhen's expression, they immediately knew he was preparing to attack those guys. They quickly went to his side. Elder Zhen didn't even turn to look at them, but stared at the projection and said, "We've left them hanging for three days. It's time to deal with them. However, we can't take them all down at once. We need to deal with them one by one; that way, the pressure on us will be less. Let's start with this one." With that, Elder Zhen moved his hand and pointed to a projection. The projection immediately enlarged, revealing eight very conspicuous iron balls on it.

The iron ball that Elder Zhen was pointing to was the Seven Star Heart-Questioning Hammer controlled by Fan Huajin. Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun both nodded. In this operation, Elder Zhen was the commander, and they were just helping out. It was hard to say whether they would be needed, so the two of them didn't interrupt and just watched Elder Zhen's lead.

Pointing at the Seven Star Heart-Questioning Hammer, Elder Zhen said in a deep voice, "I've observed them these past few days. These large magical artifacts are relatively simple. Their defense is strong, and their attack power is not weak either, but their attack methods are relatively simple. If they were in other places, I might not have dealt with them first, because their simple methods would make their attack power even stronger, and it would not be easy to deal with them. But now it's different. Now they are in our formation, so it will be much easier to deal with them."

Ding Chunming asked, "What are the characteristics of this kind of magical artifact?"

The old man said in a deep voice, "Their defense is good and their attack is strong. Their attack is a magnetic field conversion attack. It is not difficult to break this attack method. They used this method to defend before. I have already calculated it. It is actually very simple to break through them."

Ding Chunming looked at Elder Zhen, who smiled slightly and said, "All we need to do is keep adding gravity arrays to their large sphere. Once the gravity array is strengthened to a certain extent, it can directly pull those small spheres onto the large sphere. Then we can add mutation laws to those small spheres. As long as we add enough mutation laws, those small spheres will mutate and attack the large sphere. At that time, their large magic artifact will be destroyed."

Upon hearing this, Ding Chunming looked at the old Daoist with some curiosity: "If it's really that simple, then wouldn't their large magical artifacts have been destroyed long ago? How could they still be in use until now?"

Elder Zhen glared at Ding Chunming, then said, "Are you stupid? Do you really think adding gravity to their large magical artifacts is such an easy thing? In other environments, their large magical artifacts can move, and during battle, they rampage around. Before you can even add enough gravity, they might already be knocking you away, preventing you from adding gravity. And don't forget, these magical artifacts have magnetic field conversion capabilities. If you add gravity to them, they can counter with repulsive force." On the battlefield, this giant sphere would definitely be imbued with repulsive force, causing all attacks against it to be deflected. Therefore, on other battlefields, such a large magical artifact would be incredibly formidable. Trying to keep it still and gradually increase its gravity would be virtually impossible. Only in the current environment is it possible, because they are within our magic array. We can mobilize the array's power to unleash a massive gravity spell, breaking their repulsive force. This is the only way our plan can succeed. In any other environment, it would be simply impossible.

When Ding Chunming and Cheng Wanchun heard what the formation master said, they were both taken aback. Then they looked at each other and laughed awkwardly. Their understanding of formations was still insufficient.
