Lin Ran, however, smiled even more happily than he did.
Through the hands of the Destroyer's Razor, he could already feel the specific effects of this magic array quite clearly.
This nine-in-one composite magic array seemed to have a composite effect.
It could not only be used to strengthen a certain unit, but also to unleash strikes or healing with its energy, create domains with various different effects, and even summon spirits to fight, and so on.
What was puzzling, however, was that the core composition of the array's energy was a soul life-box.
Moreover, Lin Ran felt an extremely large number of vibrant lives inside the soul life-box.
Even a casual count would estimate over two hundred thousand!
Could it be that these fierce and cruel aliens found a bunch of living people to act as batteries to achieve their formation goals?
However, based on the aura Lin Ran sensed, these over two hundred thousand lives did not seem like humans, nor did they seem like ferocious beasts!
Could it be that they were so insane that they didn't even spare their own kin, or that they arrested a bunch of aliens who were not on good terms with them?
Lin Ran was perplexed.
What confused him even more was that, from the energy flow of the formation, it was not entirely a one-sided taking from the lives within the life-box. Instead, there was some idea of promoting their development through consumption and replenishment.
This...
Lin Ran truly couldn't understand.
Seeing Lin Ran's hesitant face, the Destroyer's Razor grinned ferociously and said,
"Didn't expect this, did you? I also have a means to temporarily elevate my strength!"
"The mere strength of a tenth-tier, I have it now!"
"Heh heh, fighting me underground, and fighting while being close to the great formation, you really don't take the formations of our Thunder Element clan seriously!"
"And kid, don't even think about running away..."
"Everything in the vicinity has been completely sealed by the domain that I have deployed with the help of the formation."
"Any thought of escaping will only lead to your head being broken and bleeding, or even worse!"
"Let me show you what true Thor's might is!"
"Thunder Rolls Across Nine Heavens!"
The Destroyer's Razor roared, frantically urging the magic array, making his aura, in its instability, barely reach the tenth tier.
After the enhancement of his strength, the lightning he unleashed this time was almost blinding.
And don't forget, the Destroyer's Razor was a hero-level unit!
His HP was monstrously high, and his resistances were top-notch.
His mana bar, while not inexhaustible, could last for a very, very long time even if spent with full force.
Therefore, it was almost impossible to solo a Boss with one's own power, especially when the tier difference was not significant.
Unfortunately, Lin Ran's greatest skill was to create the impossible!
"Hmm, your formation is indeed very powerful. With only one-ninth of it activated, it already possesses such might."
"It's likely that your Thunder Element clan alone couldn't have completed it. There must be at least eight partners!"
"However, I am curious about how your nine life-boxes were obtained and made?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the material of the life-boxes should be War Soul Divine Iron."
"This supreme refining ore, of which not even a few pieces can be found on the entire Blue Star, is actually used to forge nine rather large boxes..."
"If it's not an extreme waste, it means that the nine life-boxes must hide a great secret!"
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be feeding the life-boxes through nine formations with eighty-one magnetic energy pillars."
"I don't know if you're interested... in letting me know?"
"That way, at least I won't have to bother asking your soul after I kill you!"
Lin Ran said with a dismissive smile, looking down on the continuously rising aura of the Destroyer's Razor.
Upon hearing Lin Ran's words, the Destroyer's Razor's heart skipped a beat.
Damn it!
How could he know so much about this formation? He even inferred so many things?
Even if there was a mole who told Lin Ran a lot of secrets, it was still unlikely!
After all, the engineering required to create this formation was immense. When assigning tasks, their formation masters were precise down to every extended vein and small segment.
Only those core personnel who had seen the overall design and participated in its modification had seen the entirety of it...
Therefore, either Lin Ran had instigated all the formation masters and assembled the scattered formations,
or a core member had a problem.
Either possibility made the Destroyer's Razor feel dizzy.
"How did you know these things?!"
The Destroyer's Razor's voice became hoarse with anger and fear.
Lin Ran smiled and shook his head:
"It seems you are not very willing to cooperate..."
"In that case, let me let you personally experience the power of this magnetic energy life-box formation!"
With that, Lin Ran activated the mechanism he had previously set up, reversing the controller, beneficiary, and core of the formation.
And he thoughtfully chose the exact same function that the Destroyer's Razor had used before.
Enhancement!
The Destroyer's Razor, whose aura was about to reach its peak, suddenly faltered. Like a rapidly growing plant being cut in half, he screamed and fell from mid-air.
This not only knocked the Destroyer's Razor's cultivation back to square one.
The mental shock and physical shrinkage caused by the intense backlash of losing power almost turned the Destroyer's Razor into an imbecile and sucked him dry.
Lin Ran, on the other hand, saw his aura climb again, directly reaching the late stage of the tenth tier!
However, this also increased the burden on his heart.
This was why Lin Ran was unwilling to accept Luo Qing Yan's buff when using his Black Dragon Body.
The increase brought by the buff was not significant compared to the benefits of the tenth tier. Without it, he might have been able to maintain it for six minutes. With it, it would be reduced to three minutes. That was not worth it, the cost-effectiveness was extremely low.
But now, the situation was decided, and it didn't matter.
It was not bad to use it to test the effect of the formation.
Even if after accepting the formation's enhancement, Lin Ran's Black Dragon Body only had one minute left, it was more than enough to kill this dying Destroyer's Razor.
All Things Incinerated!
Lin Ran wasted no time, directly using the most powerful dragon language magic of the Black Dragon race, summoning scorching demonic flames comparable in density to lava.
Thirteen streams of demonic flames converged at the core of the Destroyer's Razor's soul, and they gracefully bypassed his perfectly preserved soul armor.
