As the Dragon Ancestor pursued the Qiankun Spirit Gathering Furnace, he keenly sensed a strange movement. He instantly transformed into his true form, a massive golden dragon streaking across the sky. He raised his head and let out a deafening roar, instantly shattering the clouds within a hundred miles. He then sped off in the direction of the noise.
However, after flying a short distance, he suddenly stopped and called out warily, "Who? Who's up ahead?" His voice carried a hint of barely concealed unease. Everyone was filled with curiosity. There was clearly nothing ahead, so what had happened to this Dragon Ancestor?
Just as everyone was full of speculation, a sword beam slid through the void like a ghost, with a fierce momentum, and slashed straight towards the Dragon Ancestor.
The Dragon Ancestor's whiskers stood on end, his amber eyes suddenly bloodshot as he roared, "How dare you!" Before he could finish his words, the sword's radiance, like a galaxy, pierced through his brows and instantly split his massive body in two. The hundred-foot-long golden dragon let out a dying wail, its scales crackling as its radiant golden form was instantly severed in two. Scalding blood, mixed with shredded flesh, rained down like a torrential downpour. The scene was horrific and utterly horrific, shocking everyone.
What is even more frightening is that this elite army, which embodies the thousand-year efforts of the Dragon and Phoenix clans and carries the ambition to dominate, was turned into dust before it was even revealed, and only the remaining souls roared unwillingly in the remaining power.
"What?" Everyone was so shocked that their mouths widened. "Who did this? That was the Dragon Ancestor at the Heavenly Venerable level! He was killed by a single sword strike!"
The commotion here naturally didn't escape the Formation Devourer's notice. Its brow furrowed, its mind filled with confusion: "Who is this? Why did he attack? Is he the Golden Dragon's enemy? Such a powerful figure, if he wanted revenge, he should have done it long ago, not wait until now! Who is he? Why is he hiding his identity? He helped, but why didn't he let me investigate and just fled in a hurry? Is he trying to steal the treasure? Then why didn't he take the furnace?"
The Formation-Devouring Beast didn't have time to think carefully. It flapped its six wings rapidly, and the tremendous power activated the formation, lifting everyone up steadily and flying back towards the Shen family.
In a flash, they arrived at the courtyard. It then shed a holy light, as soft and warm as the spring sun. Everyone felt enveloped in a gentle power, their injuries healing at a visible rate. In the blink of an eye, their injuries were completely healed, and they all bowed to the Devouring Beast in gratitude, their gratitude overflowing with words.
Liu Ling hugged the unconscious Yu Kai tightly, her voice full of anxiety and worry, and called softly: "Yu Kai, wake up soon!" Shen Xingze, Shen Teng and others also stood by with serious expressions, their faces full of anxiety.
At this time, Yu Kai's mecha had retreated. Although the injuries on his face had recovered, he still closed his eyes and showed no signs of waking up.
Zixiao's once pale face gradually took on a rosy hue under the nourishment of the holy light. She quietly stood by Yu Kai's side, her gaze constantly fixed on the Array Devouring Beast, her heart awash with fear. "There's actually a saint hidden here, a saint I've never even heard of!" She had followed Hongjun for years, knowing many secrets untouchable by ordinary people, but she could never have imagined that this seemingly insignificant Neptune held such a shocking secret.
"Girl, the boy is fine. Take him back and get some rest. He's exhausted too much energy. He'll wake up soon after a good rest." The Devouring Beast's body shimmered with light, and its form slowly transformed into a kind-looking old man. He was dressed in a long, flowing black robe, exuding an ethereal aura, as if he had stepped out of an ancient legend.
"Thank you, Senior Shidi!" Liu Ling said gratefully, and then she and Zixiao carefully carried Yu Kai on the left and right, and slowly walked out.
"All of you, please withdraw! I still need to consolidate my cultivation!" The Formation Devouring Beast waved at Shen Teng and the others, signaling them to leave. After they left, it entered a state of retreat again, restraining its aura and immersing itself in the consolidation of its cultivation.
What happened on Neptune spread like a bombshell throughout the entire world. Everyone was stunned and speechless by the shocking news.
The power of Neptune's formation was so terrifying that, in the final moments of life and death, it was able to achieve a desperate counterattack, slaughtering all the attackers on the spot. Even the Dragon Ancestor and the Phoenix Ancestor, both of the Celestial Realm, two peerless powerhouses standing at the top of the prehistoric world, were defeated on Neptune.
Inside the Heavenly Palace's Tianshi Mansion, the atmosphere in the main hall was oppressive and suffocating. Zhang Qiming sat in the main seat with a stern expression, emanating an invisible sense of oppression, like an insurmountable mountain. Below, on either side, the four great Tianshi sat solemnly, their expressions varying: some solemn, others pensive.
Zhu Xiaoxian and Feng Wuling had sorrowful faces as they knelt respectfully in the center of the hall, begging in sobbing voices: "Please, little saint, do it for us! Avenge our ancestor!" All around them, many geniuses on the genius list also walked out of the line, knelt in an orderly manner, and were respectful.
Because they had cultivated the All-Spirit Sharing Method, they had established a close bond with Zhang Qiming and became his loyal followers. Their respective sects had sent many elders to participate in the operation to capture Yu Kai, but unexpectedly, all of them perished outside Neptune.
"Don't worry, their blood will not be shed in vain!" Zhang Qiming said grimly, waving his hand and signaling everyone to stand up. Then, he turned his gaze to his ancestor Zhang Daoling and asked anxiously, "Ancestor, do you have any good advice?"
"Hmph! So what if his Neptune formation is powerful? Could it be that the formation of my Heavenly Master's Mansion is inferior? I was defeated in my previous battle with Xuanyuan, firstly, because that powerful demon interfered, and secondly, because we weren't fully prepared. But my Heavenly Master's Mansion's Four Symbols Demon Slayer Formation is absolutely no less powerful than that of Neptune!" Zhang Daoling stroked his beard, his expression proud, his tone brimming with confidence. The other three Heavenly Masters nodded in agreement, praising the Four Symbols Demon Slayer Formation with endless pride.
"Okay, in that case, let's set up the Four Symbols Demon-Slaying Formation in advance and make sure Yu Kai is killed without a burial place!" A fierce look flashed in Zhang Qiming's eyes, and he suddenly crushed the teacup beside him. With the crisp sound of shattering, his words were filled with cold murderous intent.
"But how can we make Yu Kai fall into our trap?" Heavenly Master Ge Xuan frowned slightly and raised the key question with a worried look.
"Doesn't Yu Kai have a close relationship with Murong Shuang on Yuexing? We will spread the news that Yueling Sect is secretly colluding with the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance and has ill intentions. I will personally lead people to encircle and suppress them soon! When the time comes, you, the ancestors, will set up a large formation here in advance. I am sure that Yu Kai will come to rescue!" A hint of cunning flashed in Zhang Qiming's eyes.
