Thunder raged, ten thousand swords flew together. Those thunder swords were forged by Lei Ling'er using her primordial power. She fought desperately to use this move, suffering severe damage to her vital energy.
Those Heavenly Saint experts clearly knew they couldn't move at this moment and could only rely on the protective divine light to resist; otherwise, the formation would collapse.
But the instinct of life wouldn't allow them; they had to split half their strength to resist the Thunder Sword, which struck them.
"Puff puff puff...
These powerful figures spat blood and were sent flying. Huo Ling'er's previous strike had already taken half their lives, and now they could no longer withstand Lei Ling'er's move.
"Buzz!"
As they were sent flying backward, the grand formation above the nine heavens collapsed with a roar. At the same time, the demon corpse and the Fangtian Seal above its head trembled violently, their auras surging dramatically.
"So it turns out they are using this formation to suppress the power of the demon corpse and the Fangtian Seal." At that moment, Long Chen suddenly understood.
It turns out the Fire God Hall has always secretly controlled the demon corpse and the Fangtian Seal. However, this formation is so hidden that not only is Xing Wujiang hidden, but even the Fangtian Seal and the demon corpse remain undetected.
Of course, the Fire God Temple wouldn't be willing to help Xing Wujiang. Clearly, they wanted to reap the benefits while everyone was fighting to the point of mutual destruction.
They want the demon corpse, Fang Tianyin and the others, and Xing Wujiang's life—they will accept it too. However, what Long Chen doesn't know is that this Heavenly Dou Grand Array is a secret technique of the Fire God Hall.
There aren't many formations in the Fire God Temple's inheritance, because the temple has so many fire-related divine abilities that even if someone devotes their whole life, it's impossible to master even one ten-thousandth of them.
Therefore, any formation inherited by the Fire God Hall is the finest of the best. This Heavenly Dou Grand Array is not actually a killing array, nor a protective formation, but rather a sealing formation.
The Heavenly Dou Grand Formation is divided into the Eighteen Heavenly Dou Formation, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dou Grand Array, and the Seventy-Two Heavenly Dou Grand Array. The number refers to the number of people, and cultivation at the Heavenly Saint level is the basic requirement for advancing the formation.
The Heavenly Saint experts forming the formation required similar spiritual power, soul power, physical strength, bloodline power, flame power, and other powers, making the conditions somewhat demanding.
However, the Fire God Temple was powerful and managed to assemble thirty-six powerful figures to form the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dou Grand Array, which was used to seal the demon corpse and the Fangtian Seal.
The terrifying aspect of the Heavenly Dou Grand Array is that it operates silently when activated. Rumor has it it operates through the Heavenly Dou Technique, which is similar to the Heavenly Secret Technique and is related to the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao's movement. No one knows the specifics.
With Xing Wujiang's strength, even Fangtian Yin's experience couldn't detect the Heavenly Dou Grand Array, which showed just how terrifying the formation was.
Once the Heavenly Dou Grand Formation was broken, the aura of the Fangtian Seal and the aura of the demon corpse surged rapidly. Xing Wujiang was both shocked and delighted, because he discovered that once the formation was broken, the power of his ancestral rune finally began to burn and quickly invaded Fangtian Seal's body. The seal instantly turned red, and scorching flames rose.
Jiang Yizhou was dumbfounded. He never expected that because of his recklessness, the Heavenly Dou Grand Formation they had carefully prepared would be broken just like that.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. If he hadn't left his post without permission, the Heavenly Dou Formation would have been as solid as iron, unshakable. Now that the formation was broken, it was all his fault. He could not bear this blame.
He couldn't help but look at the Flame Prison where Long Chen and Mo Nian were trapped, feeling a chill run down his spine, and even felt an urge to run as far away as possible.
The Heavenly Dou Grand Formation was broken, which meant that both the Fangtian Seal and the demon corpse would no longer be controlled. If both were destroyed in the end, he would have no choice but to atone with his death.
"Long Chen, go to hell!"
Jiang Yizhou roared angrily, gritting his teeth as he charged at Long Chen, venting all his rage and terror on Long Chen.
"Boom!"
Just as he moved, Huo Ling'er's Flame Dragon Bone Whip roared toward him, sending waves of energy rolling and flames surging. The immense force forced Jiang Yizhou to resist, but with a loud explosion, Jiang Yizhou was blasted away.
Jiang Yizhou was furious. The Flame Dragon Bone Whip in Huo Ling'er's hands was far stronger than in Huo Qianwu's hands. Even he couldn't gain any advantage in front of Huo Ling'er.
Suffering losses at the hands of a Fire Spirit in succession, yet he was completely helpless. A dignified Heavenly Saint expert couldn't even handle a Fire Spirit. The sense of defeat drove him crazy.
"Let's attack together and take down Long Chen." Jiang Yizhou roared angrily.
He now regarded killing Long Chen and the danger of the Deputy Hall Master of the Fire Relief Temple as his only lifeline. Only then could he possibly make amends.
With the "Kill"
formation broken, the Fire God Hall's experts were all furious. At Jiang Yizhou's command, they charged at Long Chen with their divine weapons.
Previously, when Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er attacked repeatedly, they couldn't fight back and were injured, nearly driven mad by frustration. With Jiang Yizhou's orders, each of them was filled with murderous intent, looking as if they wanted to tear Long Chen to pieces.
"A thousand flames swirling, phoenixes dancing in the ninth heaven."
But just as they broke through, Huo Ling'er's crisp, childlike voice echoed through the world. She formed a seal with her jade-like hand, her wings disintegrated, transforming into thousands of ancient phoenixes stretching thousands of miles.
This move is the innate divine ability of the Thousand Phoenix Feathered Robe, but from the time the robe was forged until Huo Qianwu inherited it, no one dared to use it.
Because the disintegration of the feathered robe means losing control over them, and they can leave the feathered robe at any time and fly away on their own.
But Huo Ling'er was not afraid. Qianfeng Yuyi's loyalty to her was almost maximized. In Huo Ling'er's hands, there was food and drink. For those who were always hungry, even if driven away, they might not leave.
A thousand ancient phoenix true feathers transformed into a thousand ancient phoenixes. They lined up, each holding the tail of the front ancient phoenix in their mouths. Their wings trembled, forming a long dragon that spun, tightly wrapping Long Chen and Mo Nian without a single leak.
"Boom boom boom... Those
Heavenly Saint experts attacked frantically, but the ancient phoenixes couldn't break their formation. Some attacked one ancient phoenix with all their might, hoping to find a breakthrough. Unfortunately, no matter which ancient phoenix they attacked, the power would be shared by all the ancient phoenixes. In other words, this defense was flawless.
"Well done!"
Mo Nian couldn't help but exclaim loudly at the sight.
Originally, when this group attacked, Mo Nian planned to unleash some Heavenly Saint Divine Weapons to self-destruct again. However, these were not the previous trash; they were all quite good ones. Although he couldn't use them, they could be sold for quite a bit of money. Having them self-destruct like this made him reluctant to part with them.
When Huo Ling'er appeared and single-handedly resisted the attack of such a Heavenly Saint, Mo Nian's eyes turned red with envy. This was Long Chen's Flame Spirit; if it were someone else's, he would definitely have ulterior motives.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen and Mo Nian's expressions changed. The prison they controlled rapidly expanded, and the Vice Hall Master of the Fire God Hall was about to break free.
Long Chen turned to Xing Wujiang. At this moment, he had reached the most critical moment. All the ancestral patterns on his body had poured into the Fangtian Seal, and a cross-shaped chain appeared on the seal, binding it tightly.
At that moment, Long Chen immediately tensed up, just one step away. He knew that as long as he detonated the cross chain,, the Fangtian Seal and the Demon Corpse would be destroyed in an instant.
"Hang in there!"
Long Chen and Mo Nian shouted almost simultaneously. They knew Xing Wujiang was about to succeed.
"Whoosh."
But at that moment, a sudden change occurred. A masked figure appeared, holding something in his hand and charging straight at Xing Wujiang.
"Not good."
When Long Chen and Mo Nian saw the masked man appear, their expressions immediately changed.
