The suppressed Formation-Devouring Beast below, witnessing this scene, beamed with joy. It keenly sensed that Yu Kai was deeply merging with the sword intent within the formation, clearly attempting to harness this immense power to free himself. It muttered to itself, "This kid is truly remarkable, having earned the recognition of these sages. With this unique opportunity and talent, his future achievements are boundless. We're both fellow villagers and his elders, so it seems this Emperor is destined for the role of Protector!" At this thought, it excitedly wagged its tail and began to daydream in its place.

The Formation Devourer's origins are extraordinary. Born within an immortal formation, it possesses an inextricable connection to the prohibitions of heaven and earth, as well as to formations, seemingly destined to circumvent all formations. Its form is unique, with six wings spread wide and a single, stern eye. The pupil of that eye is as deep as the abyss, and within its darkness, it exudes a chilling aura. Its overall form resembles a giant snake, shrouded in a mysterious and powerful aura that daunts all. Innate to it is its uncanny ability—the ability to accurately discern and easily dismantle all formations, making it a natural enemy of formations.

However, upon crossing over, it suffered heavy damage, leaving it in a state far worse than before. It was confronted by Tongtian Patriarch, wielding the Four Swords of the Immortal Slayer. Sensing it wasn't a native being, the Patriarch attacked. The Formation Devourer, leveraging its natural talents, engaged in a thrilling battle with the Patriarch, even wounding him. However, its wounds ultimately suffocated it, and it was subsequently trapped within the Zhuxian Sword Formation and a mysterious mural, unable to escape. Confident that its innate skill in formations would allow it to quickly break free from the sword formation, it even considered using the Zhuxian Formation as a powerful tonic. However, it failed to anticipate that the power contained within the stone statues within the murals was far greater than the power of the Four Swords of the Immortal Slayer. Even with its ability to regenerate through blood, it was unable to break free from these constraints.

Ten days passed in a flash. That day, Yu Kai's voice echoed across the square: "Senior, I'm already familiar with the sword intent of the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. Where are you?"

Upon hearing this, the Devouring Array's single eye suddenly blazed brightly. It looked up at the sky, its six pairs of wings flapping vigorously, its excitement barely contained. "I've finally waited. That kid... Oh, no, Yu Kai, I'm trapped in a different time and space below. The masters of these stone statues were too powerful. Even after years of baptism, their Dao essence still lingers, preventing me from breaking through the time and space restrictions. Could you please negotiate with them, saying I'm willing to protect you and ask them to lift the restrictions?"

"Yes, seniors," Yu Kai agreed, then slowly stood up. He carefully adjusted his clothes, then knelt solemnly, kowtowed to the surrounding stone statues one by one, and said in a voice as resonant as a bell: "I am grateful to all of you seniors for generously passing on the laws. I will never forget this kindness. If I am ever fortunate enough to set foot in the realm of false gods, I will do my utmost to help you all return to the world!" He then kowtowed several more times, the sound of kowtows echoing throughout the square.

These words resounded with such force that they echoed throughout the Heritage Square. The surrounding stone statues, as if they had truly heard his vow, shone with light, as if they held high hopes for him and quietly awaited his growth.

Upon hearing this, the Array-Devouring Beast was genuinely shocked, and quickly sent a message to Yu Kai's mind: "Oh my God, you could just say a few perfunctory words, why did you take it so seriously? Now, they have all remembered it, which is equivalent to making an oath to the Heavenly Dao! What false god? This emperor has never even heard of it, you kid are in big trouble now, alas..." Obviously, it had no idea that Yu Kai had a false god seed hidden in his body, and it seemed that it had no idea that there were gods in this universe at all.

"Senior, don't worry, I am sincere and will never break my oath!" Yu Kai responded firmly in his mind.

"Oh! Never mind. I will try my best to help you after I get out." The Formation-Devouring Beast sighed helplessly, but secretly felt in his heart that this boy was loyal and righteous.

Yu Kai calmed himself down, collected his thoughts, and said to those around him again: "My fellow seniors, I plan to release the Array-Devouring Beast that is imprisoned below. I hope you will be so kind as to let it go this time." After that, he kowtowed several times.

The Devouring Beast's face was filled with nervousness, its neck stretched out, its eyes filled with anticipation. Suddenly, the alien space that held it captive began to shake violently, and the Dao essences containing the laws gradually dissipated. Extremely excited, it suddenly rushed upwards.

Yu Kai sensed a powerful energy surge from below and quickly retreated to the side. "Boom!" With a resounding roar, the masonry of the square floor instantly shattered, and a massive flying snake with three pairs of wings soared into the sky. "Roar!" It roared at the sky, and the Four Swords of Zhu Xian suddenly blazed with dazzling light, followed by an unleashing of immensely powerful sword intent, slashing down at it like a surging torrent. Terrified by the sudden attack, it screamed, "Boy, hurry... hurry and save me! I haven't recovered yet, and I'm no match for these Four Swords of Zhu Xian!" It fled in panic, calling for help.

However, the sword image above the Four Swords of Zhu Xian cast a divine light, instantly enveloping it. No matter how it struggled to escape, it could not escape the sword's tight grip, and could only flee around the inheritance square in a panic.

Seeing this, Yu Kai immediately took action. A force emanating from the pseudo-god seed shot out, instantly enveloping the Devouring Beast. Simultaneously, he unleashed the Zhu Xian sword intent he had comprehended, attempting to communicate with it. Perhaps the communication was effective, or perhaps the pseudo-god seed's power concealed the Devouring Beast's aura. The unparalleled sword intent slowly withdrew, and the Zhu Xian formation diagram also gathered its divine light, returning to silence along with the four Zhu Xian swords.

With a "bang", the huge body of the Formation-Devouring Beast fell heavily on the square, causing the Inheritance Square to shake violently.

"Senior, are you okay?" Yu Kai was extremely anxious and flew to the side of the Devouring Beast like lightning to check.

"Boy, you have saved this emperor again!" The Formation-Devouring Beast raised its single eye and saw Yu Kai flying towards it. It said with lingering fear, and there was still a trace of panic in its voice.
