Li Tian's speed of carving the formation was fast enough. Unfortunately, the Great Sage of the Ancients didn't give him the opportunity to do so. Li Tian's speed of carving the formation was fast enough. Unfortunately, the Great Sage of the Ancients didn't give him the opportunity to do so.
The disadvantage of a formation master was completely highlighted at this time. Given the current situation, Li Tian couldn't exert his strength at all.
If they had expected this situation, any of the other Palace Masters of the Nine Palaces above the Clouds would have an easier time than Li Tian. After all, Li Tian was obviously at a disadvantage compared to them.
But at the same time, if Li Tian was given enough time to carve the formation steadily, then his terrifying strength would be revealed. Unfortunately, the Great Sage of the Ancients wouldn't give Li Tian such an opportunity. Most of the time, the Great Sage of the Ancients would rather take Xiao Chen's attack head-on than give Li Tian a chance to carve the formation.
In the Great Sage of the Ancients' view, Li Tian's threat was far greater than Xiao Chen's, so he couldn't give Li Tian any chance.
In this regard, Xiao Chen was also very helpless. He thought that his physical body was strong enough, but Xiao Chen couldn't gain the slightest advantage in front of the Great Sage of the Ancients.
After breaking through to the Ancestor Realm, Xiao Chen indeed had enough confidence to show disdain for all heroes. However, compared to a top expert like the Great Sage of the Ancients, Xiao Chen was still inferior. There was an obvious gap in their foundation, which was also Xiao Chen's biggest problem at the moment.
After all, the age gap between them was too big. Compared to the Great Sage of the Ancients, the current Xiao Chen couldn't be any younger. If their ages were the same, Xiao Chen would undoubtedly be able to crush the Great Sage of the Ancients. Unfortunately, Xiao Chen was too young.
This couldn't be helped. Although Xiao Chen had spared no effort to make up for his lack of foundation through various means, the gap in time wasn't that easy to make up for.
He didn't hold back, but Xiao Chen knew that the gap between him and the Great Sage of the Ancients wasn't that easy to make up for.
But fortunately, Xiao Chen and Li Tian's purpose was not to kill the Great Sage of the Ancients. They only needed to delay him. They believed that Lin Yun must have reacted by now. She would either come in person or send reinforcements.
In this way, Xiao Chen and Li Tian only needed to stall the Great Saint of the Ancients and not give him a chance to escape. At most, the experts of the Cloud Palace would arrive in one day.
Knowing this, Xiao Chen and Li Tian attacked unhurriedly. They didn't care about being suppressed by the Great Sage of the Ancients and continued to tangle with the Great Sage of the Ancients.
The three of them fought fiercely, while the other cultivators of the macro worlds acted one after another to rescue the cultivators who had been trapped by the Great Saint of the Ancients and had their flesh and soul sucked dry.
These cultivators came from various forces in the large world. Of course, there were quite a few independent cultivators among them as well. When they were released one by one, their expressions all became unsightly.
The bodies of these people had all become incomparably shriveled and there was not even the slightest bit of life in them. In response, the few half-step Ancestor stage experts leading the group shook their heads and said after carefully inspecting a few of them.
"It's hopeless. Not to mention the destruction of their physical bodies, even their souls have been completely absorbed."
If it was only the physical body that was destroyed, then by using some special means and paying a certain price, there might be a way to preserve their souls. After that, they could think of other ways to rebuild their physical bodies. But now, not only were their physical bodies destroyed, even their souls had been completely absorbed by the Great Sage of the Ancients. It was obviously hopeless.
With both the physical body and the soul dead at the same time, even a World Lord couldn't save the situation.
Hearing the conclusion of the few half-step Progenitor experts, many of the people present looked sorrowful because many of these people were their juniors, companions, or friends. Dian Dian Book Vault
Now that they heard such words, they must be extremely sorrowful. At the same time, their hatred for the Great Sage of the Ancients grew stronger.
For the time being, there was no time to pay attention to these matters. Xiao Chen and Li Tian were still fighting fiercely with the Great Sage of the Ancients. The two of them joined forces and the Great Sage of the Ancients couldn't do much.
Although he could gain the upper hand, he couldn't easily defeat Xiao Chen and Li Tian. This was the result that Xiao Chen and Li Tian wanted to see.
As long as they weren't defeated directly, their mission would be considered completed when the experts of the Cloud Palace arrived.
The fierce battle continued and soon, more than half a day passed. The battle between the three of them was still evenly matched. As time passed, the Great Sage of the Ancients gradually realized that something was wrong.
Li Tian and Xiao Chen knew that they were no match for him, but they didn't have the slightest intention of retreating. Moreover, from the way they attacked, they didn't seem to have a strong killing intent towards him.
It was indeed strange that they didn't want to kill him, but they also didn't want to retreat. There was only one explanation for this, and that was that Xiao Chen and Li Tian were just stalling for time.
After figuring this out, the Great Sage of the Ancients' eyes turned cold. The two of them were stalling for time, waiting for the forces behind them to arrive.
Although the Great Sage of the Ancients didn't know the current situation of the macro world and was confident in his own strength, he still decided to be cautious. He didn't want to clash with the forces behind Li Tian and Xiao Chen for the time being.
Sensing the intentions of the two, the Great Sage of the Ancients angrily attacked. It was obvious that he didn't want to be entangled with Xiao Chen and Li Tian any longer and was ready to leave.
Li Tian and Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't allow the Great Sage of the Ancients to leave. The two of them immediately tried to stop him. The Great Sage of the Ancients smiled confidently.
"Heh, do you really think that you can stop me with just the two of you?"
For the time being, the Great Sage of the Ancients couldn't do anything to them. However, if the Great Sage of the Ancients wanted to leave, Li Tian and Xiao Chen wouldn't be able to stop him.
The Great Sage of the Ancients wasn't in the mood to continue entangling with the two of them. He was determined to leave. The pressure on Li Tian and Xiao Chen suddenly increased. It wasn't easy to stop the Great Sage of the Ancients.
Moreover, if they let the Great Sage of the Ancients escape now, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
In this regard, Xiao Chen and Li Tian used all their strength to stop the Great Sage of the Ancients from leaving. However, the Great Sage of the Ancients didn't care at all. As he said, Li Tian and Xiao Chen weren't enough to stop him.
Seeing that the Great Sage of the Ancients was about to break out of their encirclement, Xiao Chen and Li Tian's faces darkened. Li Tian wanted to engrave a formation to trap the Great Sage of the Ancients, but unfortunately, it was destroyed by the Great Sage of the Ancients before it could be completed.
"I'll let the two of you go this time. Next time, I'll definitely take your lives." After successfully breaking out of the encirclement of Xiao Chen and Li Tian, the Ancients laughed loudly and was about to leave.
Unfortunately, just as the Great Sage of the Ancients finished speaking, a sneer suddenly came from the sky. "Do you think you can leave?"
