Rean's group approached the building slowly, avoiding the battles going around. The Inquisition Hall experts were easily pushing back the assailants. If the chance appears, they even catch some of those experts before throwing them into the formation below.
Those who fall inside the formation on the ground have their bodies torn apart. Their dantians and cores quickly get revealed, and the formation swiftly absorbs all the energy inside. For the others watching, it became pretty obvious that everyone was being used to fuel the formation.
'Master,' Zangeshu called out. 'It might be better to wait a little. There are truly a lot of experts from all over the planet coming to this place.'
Rean looked at Roan. 'What do you think?'
Roan shook his head in response. 'That is out of the question. The Inquisition Hall controls the Werdlem Network of this planet. If they wanted, they could have shut it down. Yet, they allowed the experts to exchange messages and have them gather here. It is obvious that the Inquisition Hall wants more and more experts to come.'
'This...' Zangeshu had to admit Roan's words made sense.
*Tun!*
Rean, Kentucky, Roan, and Rifindio were approaching slowly without anyone barring them. However, they soon found out why no one was approaching the building. It wasn't just because the experts arriving weren't enough, but also because there was a protection formation around it.
'Sister Orb!' Rean quickly called her out.
[On it!] Sister Orb quickly used the Celestial Soul System to mess with the protection formation. Different from the planet-scale formation being used to gather energy, this formation only covered the building itself. It should be easy for her to hack it... or so she thought. [Holy mommy! This is a Divine Level Formation!]'What?!' Rean didn't expect that. 'Of which tier?'
[It's a Middle Tier, it seems,] Sister quickly answered. [I can hack into it, but it will definitely take much more than 24 hours.]
Roan scanned his surroundings. There were experts of the Inquisition Hall coming out of the building ahead, so there was definitely an opening in the formation for them to use. Soon, he noticed a breach a few tens of kilometers away where some of these experts were using. It's just that it was also one of the places with the most concentration of experts from the Inquisition Hall.
"Should we just force our way inside?" Kentucky asked. Even if there were that many experts there, with their actual strength, they should be able to make quick work of anyone trying to stop them.
However, Rean immediately refused the idea. "Since there is a Middle Tier Divine Formation here, then there might be more inside. If a slaughter formation of a similar level is used against us, we will be in a very bad position. Even worse, this protection formation in front of us won't allow us to escape."
It was then that Rifindio spoke. "I have an idea. If this building is truly one of those used by the Supreme Palace, then I know where you can find the core of this protection formation once you get inside."
"You have been in one of these before?" Rean asked, curious.
Rifindio nodded. "Yes. Well, not exactly this one. This building isn't something that was built on this planet. It is more like a spaceship or space station that can be brought around. It has obviously been modified to work with the formations of this planet, but I doubt the location of its cores has been changed."
Roan checked the time, and they now had less than 20 hours before the timing was over. "How well protected are those cores?"
"That's the point," Rifindio then pointed at the bottom of the building, where several gigantic crystals that brimmed with energy could be seen. "Those are the cores. You see, this thing wasn't supposed to be used for battle. The one I've been to before was more of a research and exploration space station, and those crystals below are proof of it. These stations even double as nice residences that the important Camazotz Bats like to use while going out. So, whatever protection the cores have, it is what you can see from here."
Everyone looked at the crystals. Then, Roan spoke to Rean. "Idiot, you stay outside. I'm going in with Kentucky."
Rean understood Roan's idea. If he became locked inside for some reason, he could use the Dimensional Realm to flee, coming out on Rean's side again.
Rean didn't mind. "Alright. Rifindio, you better stay here with me as well. I will probably need you soon."
With that decided, Roan and Kentucky began to approach the formation entrance. They used Rean's Light and Divine Sense Bending Skill to get as close as possible. Too bad that there were just too many experts around it. Soon, one of these experts' Spiritual Sense broke through the Divine Sense Bending, finding Roan and Kentucky's location.
"Enemy attack!" The guy roared, his Spiritual Energy and Element gathered, and a huge fire spear came crashing down Roan and Kentucky.
"Hmph!" Seeing that they couldn't hide anymore, Roan ended the Light and Divine Bending Skill, slashing back at the Fire Spear.
*Swish!*
*Boom!*
He didn't even need to use any skill. Just his Spiritual Energy alone was enough to slash through the attack and destroy the spear. The enemy was hit in the next moment, and his body was sent flying. It was hard to tell if he was dead or alive.
Nonetheless, that commotion immediately caught the attention of the other experts of the Inquisition Hall. Quite a few of those experts immediately changed direction and came after Roan and Kentucky. It wasn't all of them, though. In their eyes, Roan and Kentucky might be just creating a distraction to attract them away from the entrance. After all, Roan and Kentucky were only two against hundreds of Inquisition Hall experts. No one believed they could do anything even though they had Peak Stage Transition Realm cultivations. The Inquisition Hall had plenty of such experts.
*Boom!*
However, in the next second, their opinions completely changed.
