The Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation's power was vast, plunging the entire battlefield into endless gloom. Gusts of Cold Wind howled, as if the ghosts of the Nine Nether Abyss were roaring. The Undead, bolstered by the Formation, seemed to be infused with powerful life force, charging wildly towards the Five Elements Grand Formation.
Blood fiends permeated and clung to them; each Undead seemed to transform into a bloody specter, rushing forward relentlessly, their eyes glowing red. The boundless Blood fiends and Netherworld Ghosts surged towards the Five Elements Grand Formation, threatening to engulf it.
Outside the Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation, there was an altar filled with Yin evil Qi, covered with ancient, mysterious runes. The runes flickered with a cold light. On the altar, Wu Tian Demon Ancestor and five Demonic Lords presided over the Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation, their gazes filled with cruelty.
The Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation, as its name suggests, primarily uses the power of Nine Yin. Once activated, it's as if heaven and earth invert, Yin and Yang reverse, empowering the Undead, Netherworld Ghosts, and Blood fiends, providing them with an endless supply of pure Yin power.
The Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation was successfully activated. The pressure it emitted was like eons of ice—cold, silent, releasing an irresistible sense of oppression.
Within the Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation, not only are the Undead, Netherworld Ghosts, and Blood fiends fearless of casualties and able to infinitely repair and revive themselves, but those trapped within the Formation must also endure the invasion of the Undead, Netherworld Ghosts, and Blood fiends. Furthermore, they suffer the corrosion of their Divine Soul and Cultivation by the extreme Yin power, severing the replenishment of other Spiritual Power.
"The Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation is complete! The remaining few from Qingxuan Sect are dead this time!"
"Not necessarily. That Formation is of an extraordinary rank, its power is extremely formidable. Otherwise, Shi Li and Blood Slaughter wouldn't have fallen there!"
"Indeed, I never expected Qingxuan Sect to have such a trump card!"
...
With the successful operation of the Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation, the Demonic Lords admired the power released by the Grand Formation, discussing how long it would take to capture the people. Their expressions returned to calm and composed.
The shock caused by the sudden demise of Shi Li Demon Lord and Blood Slaughter Demon Lord was rapidly fading from their hearts.
Shi Li Demon Lord and Blood Slaughter Demon Lord were both powerful experts who shook one side. The news of their sudden demise was like a huge boulder pressing on the hearts of the Demonic Lords, leaving them unable to let go for a long time. Now, with the Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation displaying its might, eliminating the culprits was only a matter of time.
Inside the Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation.
Watching the endless Netherworld Ghosts and Undead surge into the Grand Formation with immense momentum, continuously pouring into the Five Elements Protection Formation, Venerable Qingfeng and the four Nascent Soul True Lords all changed color.
Undead and Netherworld Ghosts rushed into the protection Formation one after another, like a surging tide, seemingly endless. This terrifying scene made Venerable Qingfeng and the four Nascent Soul True Lords feel despair.
However, they were quickly stunned!
They discovered that the endless Undead and Netherworld Ghosts simply couldn't break through the Formation set up by Elder Li, and they didn't even need to lend a hand.
Elder Li's expression was calm and unperturbed. With light hand seals, powerful Spiritual Power was continuously outputted, each precisely controlled. The Bewitching Protection Formation, Profound Heaven Myriad Sword Formation, and Five Dragon Immortal Trapping Formation operated like a precise machine under his control.
At the same time, Li Mu and the four Five Elements Imperial Beasts cooperated seamlessly, fully unleashing the power of the five Five Elements six-tier spirit treasures, quickly forming a powerful Five Elements Formation Domain.
Sharp Sword Qi raged like a tempest, cutting down all the attacks from the Netherworld Ghosts and Undead; green vines grew from the ground, dragging them one by one into the earth, turning them to ashes in the raging flames of the magma; ... the ground trembled violently, as if about to crack open, and a scorching flame erupted from underground, transforming into a giant flaming hand that extinguished the Netherworld Ghosts and Undead that intruded into the Five Elements Grand Formation.
Under the Five Elements Spirit Domain, the Five Elements power was unleashed to its extreme. They were as profound and vast as an endless ocean, yet as fierce as a raging beast, frantically reaping the lives of the Undead and Netherworld Ghosts.
That black small mountain six-tier spirit treasure stood between heaven and earth, with thousands of Spirit Swords swirling and dancing around it, forming a sharp Sword Dragon, releasing endless sharp Sword Qi, like dragon's breath. Those powerful Undead and Netherworld Ghosts who luckily broke through the Five Elements Formation Domain fell like stalks of wheat in a field under the onslaught of countless Sword Qi.
Elder Li's methods were endless. Thousands of Netherworld Ghosts and Undead pouring into the Grand Formation constantly lost their lives, turning into ashes. And the extreme Yin power that poured into the Five Elements Grand Formation was rapidly refined, becoming a powerful driving force for the Five Elements Grand Formation to continue fighting.
One hour passed, two hours passed, ...,
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, nearly three hours had passed. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of Undead and Netherworld Ghosts madly surged into the mist Formation, endlessly. However, not only did they fail to eliminate the enemies within the Formation, but they also met the same fate as Shi Li Demon Lord and Blood Slaughter Demon Lord!
It should be known that these Undead and Netherworld Ghosts were extremely precious Cultivation resources of the Nine Demon Sect, accumulated with great effort, requiring the consumption and sacrifice of a large number of lives, massacres of cities and clans!
Now, they were like meat buns thrown to dogs, gone forever!
Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation, altar.
Wu Tian Demon Ancestor and his subordinate Demonic Lords and Demonic Lords watched the mist-shrouded, still stable appearance within the Grand Formation, and collectively fell silent.
The power of the Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation was absolutely not an issue. The Formation they jointly set up, and the Undead and Netherworld Ghosts it consumed, would be more than enough to jointly besiege and kill two Void Refining Realm Cultivators.
However, after so long, that mysterious mist Formation remained unchanged, devouring a large number of Undead and Netherworld Ghosts effortlessly, with no entry without exit, which truly made them feel fear.
"Demon Ancestor, the losses of Undead and Netherworld Ghosts far exceed expectations. The mountains of corpses and seas of ghosts are about to be exhausted. If the Grand Formation continues, its power will be less than fifty percent!" Suddenly, a Demonic Lord broke the silence and reported to Wu Tian Demon Ancestor.
Wu Tian Demon Ancestor's face was gloomy, so dark it seemed water would drip from it.
"If this trouble is not eliminated, it might ruin this Ancestor's grand plan. I order all Golden Core subordinates and Nascent Soul Demon Lords, don the Immortal Demon Armor, and enter the Formation with me to kill the enemy!" Wu Tian Demon Ancestor suddenly stood up, and his command was transmitted to the Sea of Consciousness of every Demonic Cultivator.
"We respectfully obey Old Ancestor's command!"
The faces of the Demonic Cultivators paled, showing unspeakable expressions. However, fearing to be even half a beat late and displease the Old Ancestor, they hurriedly responded in unison.
Soon, at Wu Tian Demon Ancestor's command, the Demonic Cultivators of the Nine Demon Sect reluctantly summoned a standardized black Demon Armor, each gritting their teeth and sadly putting it on.
In contrast, the black Demon Armors themselves seemed to be alive, appearing eager. After manifesting, they flew up on their own and attached themselves to their hosts.
Each black Demon Armor was covered with large and small spikes, exuding a heavy, cold, and sinister aura, and a strong, eerie black Devilish Qi emanated from them.
After the Demonic Cultivators donned the Demon Armor, their temperament suddenly changed. Their pupils turned completely black, their hair became blood-red, and with the infusion of powerful Devilish Qi, their bodies became burly, their skin a deep brown, as if leather scorched by intense fire. Their eyes were sharp and cold, like ice crystals in winter, radiating endless killing intent, and streaks of eerie demonic flames bloomed all over their bodies.
Hundreds of Demonic Cultivators, after donning the Demon Armor, all had their Cultivation advance by one minor Realm. Even the five Demonic Lords were no exception. However, the Devilish Qi released by the Demon Armor rapidly demonized the host's Primordial Spirit.
The Golden Core and Nascent Soul Demon Lords, after putting on the Demon Armor, just like became a well-trained army. They seemed to have transformed into unconscious Puppets, their gazes locked onto Wu Tian Demon Ancestor in front, awaiting his command.
"Kill!"
Wu Tian Demon Ancestor, clad in an even higher-grade, more majestic Demon Armor, waved his large hand, pointed towards the mist Formation below, and gave the killing order with surging intent.
As Wu Tian Demon Ancestor's voice fell, hundreds of black figures rushed out from the warships, charging fearlessly towards the mist Formation below.
"Elder Li, Old Demon Wu Tian is personally entering the fray!"
"Wu Tian Demon Ancestor himself! The Formation definitely won't hold! Let's fight!"
...
Inside the mist protection Formation, Venerable Qingfeng and the four Nascent Soul True Lords, seeing this scene, their expressions changed drastically. They held Fifth-Order Spiritual Talismans in one hand and formed spell seals with the other, ready to support Li Mu at any moment.
Li Mu took a deep breath, took out a sixth-tier Too Profound Clear Spirit Pill and a Fifth-Order Creation Pill, and swallowed them simultaneously to restore his greatly depleted Divine Thought and Cultivation. He forcefully raised his spirits and transformed the Five Elements Grand Formation into a defensive Formation to resist the attacks of the Void Refining Demon Ancestor and the several great Demonic Lords from outside the Formation.
"Boom! Boom... Boom!"
Streaks of sharp Devilish Qi slammed onto the Five Elements Grand Formation, and intense counter-shock forces immediately transmitted from the Five Elements Grand Formation.
"Puff puff!"
Little Jin and Little Wa, being only Fifth-Order, suffered heavy blows, spitting out mouthfuls of blood and their spirits wilting.
The Double-Horned Azure Moon Flood Dragon and Crimson Refining Fire Phoenix also suffered huge counter-shock forces, each retreating a few steps.
Li Mu grunted and immediately arranged a backup—the sixth-tier Azure-Eyed White Ape took Little Jin's position, while he simultaneously controlled the earth and wood sixth-tier spirit treasures to continue maintaining the Five Elements Grand Formation.
Immediately after, Li Mu gritted his teeth, summoned the Painting World Treasure Mansion, and released a large amount of Five Elements Spiritual Power from the Treasure Mansion. The Five Elements Protection Formation, which was on the verge of breaking, once again returned to a stable state.
Seeing this scene, Venerable Qingfeng and the four True Lords of Qingyang were all overjoyed. They never expected that even at this point, Elder Li still had a trump card to maintain the Five Elements Protection Formation.
However, if they continued to defend like this, the Five Elements Grand Formation would eventually be broken. The combined strength of Wu Tian Demon Ancestor, five Demonic Lords, and dozens of Nascent Soul Demon Lords, the defensive power of the Five Elements Grand Formation, certainly wouldn't last much longer.
"Boom boom..." Intense explosions resounded continuously.
Wu Tian Demon Ancestor was already enraged, striking out more than a dozen heavy punches with both hands. Streaks of Devilish Qi fist energies fiercely struck the Five Elements Grand Formation, each punch almost carrying the power to destroy heaven and earth.
However, it was blocked. The Five Elements Grand Formation completely blocked his attack.
The Demonic Lords jointly cast spell attacks, yet they couldn't even take down this small protection Formation?
This was intolerable!
Wu Tian Demon Ancestor summoned a black Demonic Blade, and with a full swing, a black blade light instantly flashed, slashing down towards the Five Elements Grand Formation.
"Zzzzt!"
The demonic flame blade light completely cut through the Five Elements Grand Formation, and the Demonic Cultivators seized the opportunity to surge in.
The next moment, a Sword Dragon descended from the sky, its momentum vast and endless.
"Swish swish..."
Thousands of sharp Spirit Swords, like rain, instantly engulfed the Demonic Cultivators clad in Demon Armor.
Caught off guard, the Demonic Cultivators suffered heavy blows. However, clad in Demon Armor, their non-fatal sword wounds quickly healed. A small portion of unlucky individuals were directly pierced through the heart or had their heads severed; even the Demon Armor could not restore or revive them.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the young man controlling the 'Sword Dragon', Wu Tian Demon Ancestor's powerful Void Refining Divine Sense swept directly towards Li Mu.
With a crisp 'Om!' sound of a bell, a powerful Divine Soul force was released, colliding with Wu Tian Demon Ancestor's Divine Thought impact, instantly neutralizing his Divine Thought strike.
"Oh! What are you?" Wu Tian Demon Ancestor asked in surprise, looking at the small white soul suppression bell.
After the Five Elements Grand Formation was broken, the situation within the Formation was completely exposed.
A young Cultivator, only at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, was surrounded by the remaining few from Qingxuan Sect. Presumably, he was the culprit who set up the Formation to resist the Nine Yin Soul Severing Grand Formation, and caused the demise of his two subordinates—Shi Li and Blood Slaughter.
Around him were several high-tier Yao Beasts: a Flood Dragon, a Fire Phoenix, an Ape, ... Goodness, each Imperial Beast had a six-tier spirit treasure. So, the Five Elements Grand Formation was controlled by these Imperial Beasts and this young man.
"No matter who you are, die for me!"
To think he had been delayed for so long by a Nascent Soul Middle Stage boy, and even lost two Demonic Lord subordinates, as well as a large number of Undead and Netherworld Ghosts.
Wu Tian Demon Ancestor was furious, wielding his Demonic Blade, he instantly cleaved towards Li Mu.
Seeing Wu Tian Demon Ancestor charging fiercely towards him, Li Mu showed no fear, smiling slightly, "Senior, if you don't help now, I won't help you refine treasures."
What?!
Wu Tian Demon Ancestor froze for a moment, his expression changing drastically. He quickly changed his move, slashing his blade towards a certain spot.
A green figure flickered into existence out of thin air, and a green longsword fiercely struck the black Demonic Blade.
With a heaven-shaking 'Boom!', the earth cracked, and heaven and earth changed color. A powerful shockwave surged in all directions.
For a moment, the nearby Demonic Cultivators were thrown off balance, some even directly spitting blood and dying, suffering heavy losses.
"Great Master Li, I rushed over as soon as I received the news, thankfully it's not too late! Oh, and Senior Lei Beast heard you were in trouble and also came to assist!" Revered Qing Wei held his sword, vigilantly watching Wu Tian Demon Ancestor, and explained to Li Mu.
As Revered Qing Wei's voice fell, before the Demonic Cultivators could recover, suddenly, a flash of lightning appeared in the sky. With a 'Zzzzt!' sound, a thick lightning snake descended from the sky, precisely striking towards them.
"Boom, boom!"
The lightning snake evolved into countless bolts of lightning. The scene immediately transformed into a lightning domain, the ground scorched into hot magma by purple lightning bolts, devouring the lives of the Demonic Lords.
A vast purple figure, riding the lightning, rapidly descended in front of Li Mu, radiating violent purple lightning, staring intently at all the Demonic Cultivators, deterring the entire scene.
