Time passed second by second, and some of the Mahayana Realm experts seemed to be exhausted. They prepared to withdraw their magic power to rest for a while before continuing to output.
However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened!
The magical power infused by these Mahayana Realm experts seemed to be tightly pulled by an invisible force, and no matter how they struggled, they could not withdraw their magical power.
In an instant, all the Mahayana Realm experts panicked.
They all exerted all their strength to try to break free from this strange force.
However, no matter how hard they tried, they could not change the situation.
Just then, a powerful cultivator at the Mahayana Realm suddenly shouted in terror, "Why can't I withdraw my magic power?"
"If this continues, not only will the magic power in my body be completely drained, but even my life essence may be drained!"
His roar exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap.
Before the words were even finished, everyone's faces turned extremely grim. They had thought they were the only ones experiencing this strange situation, but it turned out that everyone was in the same boat!
The ancestors of the demon cultivators, the demon race, and the Buddhist sect were all astonished by this scene. They all tried to withdraw their magic power, but found that no matter how hard they tried, they could not stop the loss of magic power.
These profound magical powers were like being held firmly by a powerful suction force, continuously flowing into the purple lotus.
"What exactly is going on?"
The ancestor of the Heavenly Demon Sect roared angrily at the ancestor of the Human Sect, his face full of rage.
However, at this moment, the ancestor of the Jade Void Sect, who had been silent all along, suddenly revealed a smug smile. He laughed loudly, "Haha! After planning for hundreds of years, I can finally get my wish!"
The words of the Jade Void Sect's ancestor left the other sects' ancestors quite puzzled. They looked at each other, their expressions bewildered.
Upon seeing this, the ancestor of Mount Sumeru chanted Amitabha Buddha's name, then asked in bewilderment, "Benefactor, what do you mean by that?"
The ancestor of the Jietian Sect then laughed and said, "Let me tell you old guys."
"This purple lotus is not called the Enlightenment Purple Lotus at all, nor does it have any so-called Enlightenment Light."
The words of the ancestor of the Jietian Sect were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.
"This purple lotus is indeed a heaven-defying treasure, and it is indeed what we know from the ancient records in our Three-Person Sect,"
"Even in the Upper Realm, it is an absolutely precious item, and even those supreme figures would be extremely tempted by it."
"However, the growth cycle of this purple lotus is simply too long,"
"I'm afraid that even if we all live out our lifespans, we won't be able to bring him to full maturity."
"So much so that when the three of us discovered it hundreds of centuries ago, we had already begun planning this scheme."
"Back then, did you really think that we allowed sects with Earth Immortal Realm experts to settle in Zhongtian Star in order to balance the major forces?"
"But in reality, this is just a smokescreen for us."
"Our real purpose is just today."
“We have been waiting, waiting for the time when we have enough strong people, and then using the vast magical power and essence of you strong people as a catalyst for the ripening of this purple lotus.”
"After all, such a peerless object can only be brought to maturity in this way."
"And once it matures, we will be able to use its power to successfully ascend to the realm of immortals."
"Therefore, the sacrifice of you strong people is worthwhile, and you have died a worthy death."
Upon seeing this scene, Yuan Zhexian immediately understood and muttered to himself, "There's definitely something wrong! Using the magic power and essence of tens of thousands of powerful individuals as a catalyst is far too ruthless."
Before the patriarch of the Intercepting Heaven Sect could finish speaking, the patriarch of the Human Sect impatiently interjected, "Alright, the time is ripe, you two quickly imprint your seals!"
His voice revealed a hint of urgency, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Following the words of the ancestor of the Human Sect, the two ancestors of the Jade Void Sect and the Intercepting Heaven Sect no longer hesitated. Their hands moved swiftly like lightning, forming a series of mysterious and complex hand seals.
These hand seals changed constantly in their hands, as if they contained endless mysteries and power.
Immediately afterwards, the three shouted in unison: "Secret Technique - All Things Devouring Spirit Array!"
The shout was like a thunderclap, deafening.
Before the words were finished, a gigantic magic array suddenly appeared in the void above everyone's heads.
The magic circle was covered with mysterious and unpredictable divine patterns. These patterns were like living things, constantly moving and intertwining, emitting a scarlet blood-red light that sent chills down one's spine.
The moment the All Things Devouring Spirit Formation appeared, all the Mahayana Realm experts seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and their magical power surged even more frantically into the purple lotus.
As magical power continued to pour in, the bodies of those Mahayana Realm experts began to succumb to the immense pressure and began to burst open.
In an instant, a blood mist filled the sky, as if the whole world had been dyed crimson.
Then, all the essence and blood slowly merged into the purple lotus.
However, this is only the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, even the powerful cultivators at the Loose Immortal Realm were not spared. Their bodies were also drained of their magical power, and they eventually exploded into a sky full of blood mist. Their essence blood, like a trickle, was completely absorbed into the purple lotus.
The remaining ancestors witnessed this scene, and their expressions instantly became extremely complex, a mixture of emotions including fear, resentment, regret, and anger.
