Chapter 543: Abnormally Terrifying!

Boom—!

Under the thunder of the Heavenly Tribulation, the Dharma Spells outside the formation roared to life; tens of thousands of Cultivators struck simultaneously, causing countless Dharma Spell spiritual lights to overflow.

Some Holy Sons and Holy Maidens were even more stunning, unleashing ten thousand zhang of spiritual light with a single move; various Dharma Spells shot skyward, their power actually surpassing that of the spells from over a thousand surrounding Cultivators.

Boom!

Amidst a tremendous crash, all the Dharma Spells poured down like rain, their momentum reaching the heavens, striking directly against the light curtain barrier of the "Ten Thousand Fires Burning Ghost Array"!

After all, this was a High-Stage Formation, an array that even many major sect factions found difficult to possess; its power was such that even Void Refining Stage experts could potentially be suppressed and killed by it, so no one dared to underestimate it.

However, despite so many people attacking, they could not instantly break the formation; after absorbing vast Spiritual Energy, the entire array remained extremely stable, and upon receiving the strike from thousands of Cultivators, it merely emitted a loud crash, the light curtain dimming slightly without shattering.

Everyone was startled, their expressions inevitably turning grave.

"This formation's defense is actually slightly stronger than ordinary High-Stage Formations!" Great Elder of the Jiang Family, Jiang Yushu, said with a frown.

"So what? It ultimately cannot withstand our assault; if we attack ten more times, we will definitely break open a gap!" an elder of the Gong Family snorted coldly, his gaze fixed intently on the formation.

"Once inside, first cripple Jiang Hongyan, then capture that kid from the Explosive Heaven Gang alive; I suspect he possesses a heavy treasure!" an elder of the Bai Family said in a deep voice.

The others nodded one after another; with silent understanding, they all guessed that the people of the Explosive Heaven Gang might possess that kind of Divine Object capable of seeing through ancient stones!

Behind them, the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the various major factions also frowned slightly, looking somewhat surprised.

"What an impressive High-Stage Formation; it truly lives up to its reputation!" Xiao Taixuan, the Holy Son of the Eight Desolations Green Dragon Sect, said with bright eyes, seemingly very interested in the array.

Bai Lingrui, the White Family Saintess, merely gave a cold smile: "Heh, pity it still falls a bit short; before Jiang Hongyan finishes her Tribulation, this array will surely break!"

Xiao Taixuan shook his head: "Don't speak so confidently; even if a gap is opened, that black Fire Sea inside is also extremely extraordinary!"

"What? Could it be that you are afraid?" Bai Lingrui smiled coldly.

Xiao Taixuan's eyes instantly turned cold: "Then let's see who can exit the array first to kill Jiang Hongyan!"

"Kill Jiang Hongyan? You dare kill someone the Xiaoyao Tower wants?" Xiao Munan, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Demon Sect, grinned viciously.

"If you don't dare, I do!" Xiao Taixuan said in a deep voice, surging Killing Intent sweeping out instantly.

The other Holy Sons and Holy Maidens all glanced at him but said nothing more, forming hand seals again to bombard the formation with Dharma Spells!

At this moment, Xu Que stood behind the formation; watching the array's light curtain grow dim under wave after wave of bombardment, he felt not a shred of terror, instead revealing a hint of contemptuous smile.

"What broken Clans and broken Sects; so many people came, yet it takes this long just to break the entrance of an array—I overestimated you all!" Xu Que shook his head, finished speaking, tossed down an Array Flag, and directly turned to soar toward the peak where Jiang Hongyan was located.

Originally, he had worried this High-Stage Formation couldn't withstand the assault of so many people, but now he was relieved; relying solely on one High-Stage Formation was enough to hold this group off for quite a while.

Boom—!

The thunder rumbling in the sky became increasingly alarming; heavy Thunder Clouds pressed down like a Giant Mountain, shrouding the heavens and blocking out the sun, sealing the entire peak so tightly it was as if night had fallen.

Those cloud layers were nearly within reach, hanging above like a black sea, hiding countless deadly threats within, as if merely touching them would result in being torn apart by terrifying power.

Jiang Hongyan sat cross-legged on the peak, her body radiating dense Water Yuan Spiritual Energy; on the flowing water-light shield, rows of golden Runes began to surge forth.

Those densely packed little golden dots spun rapidly around Jiang Hongyan's exterior; faintly, one could hear distant sounds of the Dao, while the water curtain shield gradually froze, condensing into Ice Soul and emitting waves of cold air.

Whoosh!

Xu Que stepped through the void, landing directly beside Jiang Hongyan; he looked up at the sky, a hint of gravity on his face.

He knew very well that once an outsider joined during a Tribulation, the power of the Heavenly Tribulation would increase, treating both him and Jiang Hongyan as those undergoing the Tribulation.

But Xu Que still came without hesitation; he could sense that Jiang Hongyan's Heavenly Tribulation was very wrong, far more oppressive and stifling than any Tribulation he had undergone before, extremely dangerous; if he didn't come to help, Jiang Hongyan probably wouldn't last until the end!

"Come on, let's see if you can strike me dead with lightning; if you can't kill me with your lightning, it will perfectly complete my 'Great Derivation Dragon Elephant Seal,' and at that time, all those Void Refining Stage Holy Sons and Holy Maidens will be mere ants!" Xu Que looked up at the sky, sneering in his heart.

The "Heavenly Thunder Seal" within the Great Derivation Dragon Elephant Seal, after absorbing the Thunder Essence within his body, had only reached 30% progress, meaning it could only unleash 30% of its power.

Xu Que believed that if he could borrow this Heavenly Tribulation to absorb more and stronger lightning, cultivating the Heavenly Thunder Seal to the Perfect Stage, then even with only his fourth layer of Infant Transformation Stage cultivation, he would still be able to fight those Void Refining Stage Holy Sons and Holy Maidens!

However, at this moment, Jiang Hongyan also sensed Xu Que's presence; her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, a trace of worry flashing across them.

After all, this was the Six-Nine Heavenly Tribulation for breaking through to the Void Refining Stage; no matter how powerful Xu Que was, he was ultimately only at the fourth layer of Infant Transformation Stage; if he participated, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Unfortunately, she was now fully immersed in a mysterious state, mobilizing countless Spiritual Energy from all directions, even drawing out the mysterious Spiritual Energy within Buried Immortal Valley; it seemed she was employing a powerful Secret Technique that could not be interrupted to urge Xu Que to leave.

Xu Que seemed to sense Jiang Hongyan's anxiety and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, you just focus on undergoing your Tribulation here; I'll take all that lightning—it's beneficial for me!"

Upon hearing these words, the anxious aura emanating from Jiang Hongyan diminished slightly.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a earth-shattering crash exploded abruptly in the sky.

The thick dark clouds shrouded the heavens and blocked the sun, but at this moment, they were violently torn open from the middle as if by an invisible giant hand, revealing a gap.

Blinding Spiritual Light instantly shone down from the gap, landing on the summit of the peak!

"Hum!"

Xu Que suddenly felt his ears ringing, hearing a vibrating sound, and this vibration seemed to come from his own heart.

His whole body shook; he immediately looked up at the sky, and right after, he was completely dumbfounded on the spot!

Through the gap torn in the Thunder Clouds, he saw that in the distant sky, countless figures were standing densely packed, arranged in neat formations, their bodies flashing with silver light, resembling a vast silver river spanning across the air.

"Gulp!"

Xu Que couldn't help but swallow hard; the degree of shock in his heart was beyond words!

He truly found it hard to believe the scene before his eyes!

Those densely packed figures, like a vast silver river, weren't they the legendary Million Heavenly Soldiers?

It's just undergoing a Tribulation; is it necessary to dispatch a Million Heavenly Soldiers for this?

This is damn too exaggerated; what did Jiang Hongyan do wrong to deserve such relentless extermination, leaving no path to survival!

However, just as Xu Que was shocked and terrified, at the very top of the sky, the Million Heavenly Soldiers suddenly roared in unison; their roar was like thousands of Heavenly Thunders rolling, earth-shattering, echoing throughout Heaven and Earth: "Pay up the money!"
