Chapter 400

I have come to take the life of a Purple Mansion cultivator.

Zi Tian Du's voice shook the entire space, causing the Blazing Heaven Fire Sea to tremble violently, and the sky‑fire rain poured down like a torrential downpour, shooting wildly at the alliance cultivators.

"Steward Wan, think of something! If this continues, all of our sect's experts will have to answer for it here." Long Xiu'ao, steward of the Heaven Dragon Gate, asked anxiously, his face full of panic.

"The Blazing Heaven Grand Formation is an ancient spell array; even the Heaven Mechanism Pavilion hasn't fully studied it."

"Quickly attack the Five‑Headed Eight‑Winged Horned Fire Lizard; once the formation spirit collapses, the Blazing Heaven Grand Formation will dissolve on its own."

The Heaven Mechanism Pavilion's Steward Wan replied in terror, his face full of fear, the scorching heat of the Blazing Heaven Flame Fire already singeing his beard and hair to a burnt smell.

"You dare to use something you haven't fully studied?"

"I have roamed Huanyu for nearly a thousand years; I never imagined I would be destroyed by a bunch of fools from the Heaven Mechanism Pavilion."

Hearing this, Long Xiu'ao's aura shifted abruptly, and he shouted in furious rage.

He suddenly thought of something, glanced fiercely at the Five‑Headed Eight‑Winged Horned Fire Lizard, and tried to communicate with Long Zhan Tian inside the formation spirit.

"Long Zhan Tian, quickly withdraw your control over the Blazing Heaven Grand Formation."

Long Xiu'ao issued the command hysterically.

"Yes."

"Once the expert controlling the Blazing Heaven Grand Formation breaks free from the beast's heads, the formation spirit will automatically collapse."

The Yang‑Assisting Sect's Feng Heavenly Flower's eyes lit up, and he eagerly echoed from the side.

"Hmph."

"How could it be so easy?"

A voice of Zi Tian Du came from the true spirit of the Blazing Heaven Grand Formation.

Around the main head of the Five‑Headed Eight‑Winged Horned Fire Lizard, the foreheads of the four beast heads flickered, reflecting four figures—none other than the feign‑unconscious Feng Youxiang, Long Zhan Tian, Chu Mengji, and Lei Ze.

Although they pretended to be unconscious, their power continuously flowed into the formation spirit, causing the Five‑Headed Eight‑Winged Horned Fire Lizard to unleash terrifying destructive force without restraint.

"Zi Tian Du."

"You dare to attack the experts of our four sects—are you seeking death?"

"Quickly break the seal and release the cultivators of the four sects."

Heaven Mechanism Pavilion's Steward Wan felt his scalp go numb, saying in disbelief, failing to notice that Lei Ze and the others were feigning unconsciousness, and unilaterally assuming that Zi Tian Du had used a conspiratorial plot to harm Long Zhan Tian and the four.

"Quickly bring back Wu Yong; he assisted Zi Tian Du and the five in cultivating the Blazing Heaven Grand Formation, so he must know its weakness."

Wu Feng stood around the Blazing Heaven Fire Sea, trembling with fear, pacing back and forth in the air.

A Heaven Mechanism Pavilion cultivator nearby, hearing this, rushed in panic toward the mountains near Silver Break City, entered Wu Yong's cultivation cave, but upon seeing Wu Yong's ferocious appearance, his pupils shrank and his face filled with disbelief.

That Heaven Mechanism Pavilion cultivator, thinking of Wu Yong's orders, not knowing how to report to Wu Feng, grabbed Wu Yong's waist and flew toward the battlefield.

"Where is Wu Yong?"

Seeing the cultivator approach, Wu Feng asked anxiously.

The cultivator, hearing this, dodged aside, revealing Wu Yong's body from behind, causing Wu Feng's face to change drastically.

He thought he was mistaken, and rubbed his bloodshot eyes in disbelief.

At that moment, Wu Yong's face was twisted, his body emaciated, white foam still moist at his mouth, his hands forming a strange seal—one hand forming six, the other one—completely a rigid six‑plus‑one gesture.

After Wu Feng repeatedly confirmed that it was his son, he hurriedly ran over and held Wu Yong in his arms, sobbing hysterically.

Son, please don't frighten your father.

Wu Feng, crying, tightly held Wu Yong in his arms, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Wu Yong's accident occurred while he was assisting Zi Tian Du and others in refining the Jin Tian Grand Formation; therefore Wu Feng attributed the death of his only son entirely to Zi Tian Du and the others.

Zi Tian Du, give back my son's life!

Wu Feng, his mind clouded by rage, erupted with his cultivation level, recklessly charging at the spirit of the Jin Tian Grand Formation.

Seeing this from the main head of the five-headed, eight-winged ox-horned fire lizard, Zi Tian Du's eyes flashed cold; with a thought, the huge fire beast opened its bloody maw and instantly swallowed Wu Feng.

Wu Feng!!!!!

Wan Zhu Shi, seeing this in the sea of fire of the Jin Tian Grand Formation, let out an angry roar.

He was the most loyal subordinate he had cultivated; the two had supported each other for hundreds of years in the Universe Cultivation World, sharing not only friendship but also familial affection.

Boom.

At that moment, the cultivators of the Mist Hidden Alliance hidden nearby seized the opportunity to reveal their forms.

They fought alongside the surviving alliance cultivators on the battlefield, and in an instant they caused the thousands of surviving alliance cultivators from the five major sects to be beheaded.

Those black-clad figures, right before the eyes of the various sect leaders, swiftly and skillfully stored the fallen cultivators' storage rings from the major sects into their pockets.

Seeing this, the senior powerhouses of the Five Sects Alliance instantly flew into a rage.

Each of them was an unparalleled powerhouse in the Universe Cultivation World; they never imagined that one day they would be humiliated by a group of Earth Origin Realm cultivators, their sect disciples killed, even the surviving storage rings taken openly by the black-clad cultivators, without the slightest fear for these seniors.

All the righteous powerhouses present were unsettled, for those storage rings contained their sects' inheritance objects; if lost, they would inevitably leak the sects' inheritance techniques, which are the foundation of each sect's development and must not be lost.

If you are sensible, quickly put down the storage rings; otherwise, once we discover your identity...

You and your family's descendants will certainly die.

Long Xiu Ao roared angrily, causing the Mist Hidden Alliance cultivators who had originally wanted to leave to suddenly halt.

Alliance Leader, otherwise we'll kill them together.

The Jin Tian Grand Formation's power is unrivaled, completely trapping them inside.

We only need to lie in ambush outside the Jin Tian fire sea to launch sneak attacks on the internal alliance powerhouses, which will cause gaps in their attacks.

Once the Jin Tian fire touches them, it will burn them to ashes, leaving not even a trace.

Fei Zhu, beside Song Ze, revealed a cold smile on his face.

"Cut the grass but not the roots, and the spring wind will make it grow again"—this is what the alliance leaders ordered; since those alliance powerhouses wanted to threaten them, they fortunately killed them all to prevent future trouble.

Haha, Fei Zhu spoke well.

Since they are courting death, we might as well lend them a hand; by the way, we can also enter the Shangqing Sect to obtain a Heavenly Essence.

This is a meritorious deed; please agree, Alliance Leader.

Beside Song Ze, Mei Wusheng emitted a clear, crisp sound, giving people a feeling like basking in spring breeze.

However, those who know her are aware that this woman comes from a certain evil sect, specializing in absorbing cultivators' yang essence to cultivate; even disciples of the great powers of Huanyu have suffered many losses at her hands.

"Little sprite, today I'll let you eat your fill."

Zhao Jianhua walked up to Mei Wusheng, casually pinched her peach, causing her eyes to flash with anger.

"Attack as you two said."

Zhao Jianhua's words fell, and the tens of thousands of Mist Hidden Alliance cultivators present each mobilized all their Cultivation Level; myriad killing techniques materialized in the air, attacking the strong ones of the Tianji Pavilion, Bibo Palace, Tianlong Gate, Fenglei Pavilion, and Fuyang Sect within the Blazing Heaven Fire Sea. The strong ones of the five major forces all changed countenance.

Within the Blazing Heaven Fire Sea, Zi Tian Du controls the five-headed, eight-winged horned fire lizard to attack; the major sects already had many strong ones fallen, and now facing the sudden appearance of another force's violent rain-like attack, they are immediately attacked from front and back.

Those black-clad figures' attack methods are utterly shameless — either they strike the eyes or the lower body; many sect strong ones have already been hit, their clothes torn to rags, with even their hairy legs exposed.

"Damnable Long Xiu'ao."

Look at your broken mouth causing trouble; wouldn't it be better to let them leave peacefully?

"My innocence has been completely destroyed by your mouth."

Bibo Palace Chief Nangong Fei's voice filled with resentment, she loudly cursed Long Xiu'ao.

The most miserable on the scene are the strong ones of Bibo Palace, for they are all women, and now being attacked by the black-clad people, their jade light has greatly dissipated.

Those black-clad people don't even know whose descendants they are; every move they attack the chest, causing Bibo Palace's strong ones not only to feel pain but also to turn red-faced to the point of almost bleeding, and now their clothes are torn to shreds, hardly different from being naked.

"No wonder as a cultivator of the Bibo Palace method, your Spiritual Power is soft and continuous, and your body is so white."

"I've been holding it high just by looking at it."

Within the Mist Hidden Alliance, a loose cultivator made a teasing remark.

They wore invisible anti-spy garments, their identities unknown, making it the perfect opportunity to mock the high-level leaders of the various sects.

After mocking the strong ones of the various sects, their minds and spirits felt extremely relaxed, as if the long-suppressed inner self had finally been released at this moment.

"Aren't you high and mighty?"

"Let you go up, let you go up."

A Mist Hidden Alliance cultivator unleashed a spiral of Spiritual Power, seizing the opportunity to wind up an elder of the Fuyang Sect, then struck his thigh; that Fuyang Sect elder seemed to be hit like a spring, his body bobbing up and down.

Such a prank scene repeatedly unfolded among the strong ones of the various sects surrounded by the Blazing Heaven Fire Sea; the sect chiefs and elders of all sects were humiliated by the Mist Hidden Alliance cultivators to the point of having nowhere to hide.

"Whether left or right, it's death; then let's kill him until heaven and earth are overturned."

A female elder of Bibo Palace finally could not bear the strong psychological pressure; in grief and indignation she rushed into the sky, attacking the five-headed, eight-winged horned fire lizard, a completely desperate, all-out fight.

Boom.

Her body was ignited by the Blazing Heaven flames, suddenly self-detonating in midair; the immense destructive power caused the Blazing Heaven Formation to shake.

Seeing this, the other female cultivators of Bibo Palace had killing intent in their eyes, wanting to blast a bloody path for the cultivators of the Five Sects Alliance, and they all rushed up into the sky.

Zi Tian Du saw this and was greatly shocked, never expecting the female cultivators of Bibo Palace to be so brave as to self-detonate to break the Blazing Heaven Formation, aiding the alliance's strong ones to break out of the encirclement.

"To avenge this seat."

An elder of the Tianlong Gate, his whole body scorched black, was ignited by the Blazing Heaven flames; he decisively rushed into the sky and exploded with a boom, turning the entire space into a ravaging, violent storm of destruction.

The five-headed, eight-winged horned fire lizard bore the Blazing Heaven flames with incomparable ferocity, yet the terrifying self-detonation power of many cultivators also caused the runes on the beast god to begin to vanish.

Zi Tian Du sent a mental message to the four Lei Ze who were feigning unconsciousness, yet even if they jointly repaired the beast's body runes, they could not match the multitude of alliance strong ones who fearlessly self-detonated to erase the beast's runes.

That scene was terrifying beyond measure; any cultivator ignited by the Blazing Heaven flames would quickly swell, then explode into a bloody mist, and the mournful killing echoes reverberated throughout the sky.

The chiefs of the various sects gazed at the swiftly disappearing sect strong ones, all filled with sorrowful desolation.

As the Blazing Heaven Fire Sea gradually became illusory with the waning of the Blazing Heaven Formation's spirit, it finally showed a tendency to vanish, yet everywhere in the Blazing Heaven Fire Sea lay the spirits and corpses of sect strong ones, corpses strewn across the wilderness with blood flowing like rivers.

The surrounding space was filled with a red blood mist, so red it made one's scalp tingle.

"The women of Bibo Palace are never inferior to anyone in their lifetime."

Nangong Fei slowly suppressed the sorrow in her heart; although her five viscera and six bowels were severely damaged, she was unwilling to retreat, and she stubbornly exerted all her Cultivation Level to smash toward the gradually illusory five-headed, eight-winged horned fire lizard.

This caused the other female cultivators of Bibo Palace to have their blood boil, fearlessly attacking the spirit of the Blazing Heaven Formation.

They each concentrated their attacks into a point, merging with Nangong Fei's attack, like a huge spike rising from the ground to stab the vertical eye of the five-headed, eight-winged horned fire lizard.

Bang.

The space rang with the sound of shattering glass; it seemed as if some taboo barrier had been broken, and the strong ones of the other sects, seeing this, all waved their Cultivation Level to assist.

Boom—

The Blazing Heaven Formation's spirit avatar rapidly deteriorated; countless mysterious runes on the beast's body vanished, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the five-headed, eight-winged horned fire lizard, with tiny electric threads wandering in the cracks, until it finally exploded suddenly.

"Finally free from the threat of the Blazing Heaven Formation."

"Zi Tian Du, die for this seat."

The chiefs of the Fuyang Sect, Tianlong Gate, Bibo Palace, and Fenglei Pavilion quickly received the bodies of Feng Yuxiang, Long Zhan Tian, Chu Meng Ji, and Lei Ze, roaring angrily.

However, at that very moment, they suddenly felt their Spiritual Power stagnate; when they again looked at the figures in their arms, Lei Ze and the others immediately broke free from the restraints of their respective sect chiefs.

"It's the Divine-Suppressing Nail."

"You actually...?"

The chiefs of the four major sects' faces filled with disbelief; before they could finish speaking, they gradually shrank, and with a puff fell swiftly toward the ground below; seeing this, the remaining heavily injured elders of the various sects lost their souls and fled in panic.

They rushed toward the surrounding sky, yet at this moment another change occurred: myriad transformed soul banners sealed the four directions, and the icy yin power, cold to the bone, directly froze the elders of all sects in place.

Seeing this, the Chief of Ten Thousand of the Tianji Pavilion felt a heavy blow to his heart,

The defeat of the righteous cultivators' alliance attacking the Shangqing Sect was imminent; his pair of white eyebrows had already been burned clean by the Blazing Heaven flames, and beneath his bald head his eyes streamed with old tears.

"Heavens, why don't you have eyes?"

"Why aid evil and not righteous?" the Chief of Ten Thousand loudly bellowed toward the heavens.

After he finished speaking, he rushed toward the sky, a mournful voice echoing all around, causing the dark clouds above to tumble violently.

All disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, break out quickly; we must definitely get the news out.

If the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion's Huanyu headquarters knows, they will definitely avenge us.

Chief Wan's voice sounded sorrowful, with a boom it exploded in the air, blasting open a gap in the space sealed by the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

The cultivators of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion turned deathly pale; Chief Wan exchanged his life for their chance to escape, and now they must fight desperately.

Disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, charge! Deliver the news to avenge Chief Wan.

An elder of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion howled in grief and indignation.

As he was about to leave, he didn't forget to pick up the sole remaining arm of Chief Wan after the explosion, carefully placing it into his storage ring, and waving the sword in his hand, he slaughtered toward the black figures blocking them.

However, just as all the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion cultivators rushed out of the sealed space, a pitch-black huge mouth suddenly loomed before them, countless mysterious runes on it spewing forth, unleashing a tremendous suction force.

Before the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion cultivators could react, their souls began to shrink gradually, then flew into the black pouch's opening.

If you let this king escape from here...

In the future, you'll still be laughed to death by all the Great Demon Kings.

The Golden Peng King appeared in the air, shaking his hand to recall the human bag, speaking teasingly.
