"The Witch King!"
While everyone was in a panic, Shen Qian had already uttered two words.
"The Witch Emperor?" Marquis Wuding was taken aback for a moment before quickly asking, "What do you mean?"
"The reason why the Witch Emperor was able to revive is because He was also a top-level expert at the Nine Forbidden Realms, and He must have been a master of the Soul Domain. But there is something strange. Since the Witch Emperor has been revived, as an ancient expert at the level of an Emperor, why doesn't He just sweep across our human race? Instead, why does He need to collude with Duke Yanshan and others to divide our human race from within?"
Shen Qian explained, "You may already know that the Great Emperor is stronger than the Martial King, but you still don't have a concrete concept of it. I can say this: ten Martial Kings combined are no match for a Great Emperor, so..."
"So if the Witch Emperor has truly been resurrected, why doesn't he take direct action? There must be some hidden reason behind this."
Marquis Wuding narrowed his eyes. "The more likely scenario is that the Witch Emperor has not yet recovered, or rather, his strength has not yet returned to its peak."
"So this Nine Revolutions Refining God Array is actually the Witch Emperor's plan. He doesn't care who lives or dies. As long as enough kings and nobles sacrifice themselves on this battlefield, he can be completely revived. At that time, even if the other alien allied forces fail to wipe out our human race, he can still control the situation!"
None of the nobles present were fools; after hearing just a few words, they had already deduced the truth of the matter, which was no different from Shen Qian's guess.
“That’s right. Even though I now have the strength of a Martial King, I’m still not enough in front of a fully revived Witch Emperor.” Shen Qian nodded and said, having a clear understanding of himself.
"So what should we do now?"
Only Shen Qian had encountered a similar formation before, so Marquis Wuding looked directly at Shen Qian.
He fell silent before sinking down.
The human kings and nobles present immediately realized that even the current Chen Qian could not break this level of formation.
"It's too late. The formation is already complete. Unless you possess strength far exceeding that of the Witch Emperor, otherwise..."
Just as Shen Qian was about to speak, as if to confirm his words, a loud "boom" was heard, and the scene in this universe changed drastically.
The endless, eerie green flames seemed to appear out of thin air, spreading for tens of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye, enveloping all the kings and powerful figures present.
The first things to burn were many ghostly figures.
“Those are…”
"It is the lingering spirit and essence of a king or nobleman who just died in battle here."
Enveloped in eerie green flames, the remaining spirits of the fallen kings and nobles were incinerated in the blink of an eye, turning into specks of seven-colored light. Then, those seven-colored lights were carried by an invisible storm and converged upwards.
When the assembled kings and nobles subconsciously looked up, they were startled to find that a towering figure had appeared above the great formation.
The figure gave off an extremely strange feeling, as if it had no physical form, and only a vague outline could be seen. But it was this outline that instilled a nameless fear in all the kings and nobles.
That was a complete suppression from the level of life itself, just like an ordinary martial artist facing mountains and seas. However, as kings and nobles, they had not experienced this feeling for a long time.
Two things stood out on the blurry figure: a cloak and a crown.
The cloak was made of seven colors and embroidered with various mysterious symbols that were hard to understand. The crown was jet black and adorned with five-colored gemstones.
"The Witch King!"
Upon seeing the cloak and crown, all the human kings and nobles instantly realized the other party's identity.
Because during the underground battle, the cloak and crown both appeared and were attached to Duke Yanshan.
The seven-colored light transformed from the fallen kings was absorbed by the sky-covering figure. Visibly, the figure seemed to become clearer from its blurry state, and facial features began to appear.
"ah!"
Before anyone could react, a violent scream suddenly rang out from a certain direction.
In the projection of everyone's consciousness, a king of the White Bone Flame Clan was suddenly engulfed by eerie green flames. He had almost no power to resist and turned to ashes in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, another alien king on the edge was also engulfed by the flames. One scream after another rang out. In just a few breaths, nearly ten seriously injured kings had been devoured by the eerie green flames.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
The remaining kings and nobles were terrified and retreated towards the center.
However, the speed of the eerie green flames was simply too fast, and everyone was sealed in the middle of the formation with very little room to maneuver. Apart from a few top-level kings like Adlermu who could hold off the flames with their own power, everyone else was quickly tainted by the eerie green flames and began to struggle.
"Gather together!"
The human race reacted the fastest, gathering together the instant the ghostly green flames appeared. Led by Shen Qian, and with the help of Marquis Wu Ding, Jiang Huan, Cheng Qingqing, and others guarding the perimeter, each using their supernatural powers to resist the invasion of the ghostly green flames, no one was injured or killed in a short time.
"This won't do; the power of this flame seems to be constantly increasing!"
Just a moment later, Jiang Huan's expression changed as she realized something.
“All the kings and nobles in the formation are sacrifices. With each king and noble sacrificed, the power of the formation will increase by one point. In the end, even I will not be able to withstand it.”
Shen Qian saw it clearly and shook his head.
"Then what can we do? Are we just like fish in a barrel, watching helplessly as the Witch Emperor fully revives and we all perish here?"
Marquis Wuding, who could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, experienced despair for the first time.
