"Rumble, rumble!"
In the blood-red sky, pale-white lightning snakes rapidly surged. The lightning that filled the sky didn't come from the clouds, but from the depths of the sky.
The lightning densely covered the sky and moved at an extremely fast speed. It was as if cracks had appeared in the sky and it was about to collapse. At this moment, it was as if doomsday had arrived!
The deafening roar of thunder resounded unceasingly. The commoners in the Profound Sky Array were trembling in fear. Sorrowful cries and cries could be heard from the crowd.
"Useless humans!"
Looking at the commoners outside the city who were crying because of the arrival of the calamity, a demonic beast from the Beast City mocked them with disdain. Even though he was in the sky, his trembling body told everyone that he was also fearful of everything that was happening in front of him. That was because one year after the Heavenly Anomaly, the so-called calamity was finally about to descend.
"With this momentum, it seems like what should come is finally coming!"
Within the formation core of the Profound Sky Array, the Combat Emperors of the various powers of the Sky Martial Continent were all gathered here. However, compared to the unease of the commoners outside, their faces were filled with unconcealable joy and excitement. That's because they were truly looking forward to the arrival of this calamity.
"Palace Master Xing Jue, I haven't seen you for a few months and you've advanced from a Low-Rank Combat Emperor to a Mid-Rank Combat Emperor."
"After this calamity ends, obtaining the Saint Stone will allow you to increase your cultivation at an even faster rate. It seems like you will be the first among us to step into the Battle-Saint realm." At this moment, the current Palace Master of the Mystical Palace, Dugu Haoyu, arrived behind Xing Jue and said with a smile.
"Haha, if it's possible, I would also like to see what the Saint Stone looks like."
"However, we still have to do our best to stop this calamity. Otherwise, everything will just be empty talk." Xing Jue replied indifferently to Dugu Haoyu's words.
"Don't worry, Palace Master Xing Jue. This Profound Sky Array is extremely profound. Unless the other party possesses the strength of a Battle-Saint, even a High-Rank Combat Emperor would not be able to break this array." Seeing this, the Patriarch of the Sacred Pill Clan, Lady Dan, also walked over.
She, who had participated in setting up the Profound Sky Array, knew the profoundness of the Profound Sky Array. Therefore, she had absolute confidence in this array.
"I hope so!"
Xing Jue faintly smiled at Pill Aunt. Then, he cast a grave gaze towards the darkening sky. For some reason, Xing Jue had a feeling that this calamity wasn't as simple as it seemed.
"Rumble, rumble!"
Suddenly, the rumbling grew intense. The dark-red sky turned black. Not only the sky, but even the sun's light was covered. The Martial Heaven Continent had turned pitch-black. There wasn't even the slightest bit of light to be seen. The only thing visible was the lightning in the sky.
However, there was something special in the vast Sky Martial Continent, which was the Profound Sky Array that enveloped the Profound City. The Profound Sky Array had already been activated, and one could already see its radiance in the day. Now that the entire continent had fallen into darkness, its radiance was even more dazzling.
Although it was pitch-black outside, the interior of the Profound Sky Array was still shrouded in light. It was as bright as day, and this light also gave the restless commoners a glimmer of hope.
"Huff, huff, huff, huff."
Suddenly, whooshing sounds rang out in the sky. That sound made people feel extremely uneasy. It was as if flames were burning, or as if the sky was being torn apart. It was so ear-piercing and strange.
"It's finally here!"
At that moment, everyone in the core of the array had already locked their gazes onto the sky. The sky was no longer pitch-black, but fiery red. Countless burning meteors were rapidly flying towards the Martial Heaven Continent.
Countless meteors fell rapidly, dragging trails of flames behind them. They were extremely eye-catching in the darkness, and these meteors had already formed a rare meteor shower. However, even though it was such a beautiful scene, none of the living beings were in the mood to admire it. There was only fear in their hearts.
"What's going on? Why are there so many Saint Stones? "
"According to the ancient records, there shouldn't be so many Saint Stones. What's going on?"
Looking at the sky, the patriarch of the Demon Refinement Clan, Yao Yutian, took out the ancient book that recorded the phenomenon and the calamity and began to flip through it. He was shocked to discover that the scene before him was extremely different from the records in the ancient book.
"No, those aren't Saint Stones."
"Those … are the true Saint Stones." At that moment, Xing Jue pointed towards the depths of the sky.
Only at that moment did everyone discover that, as expected, a few strands of blue light had appeared in the depths of the sky. The blue light grew larger and larger until it was even larger than the fiery-red meteors.
However, it wasn't a fiery red, but a deep blue. It was actually dragging a trail of blue flames. Furthermore, when it slid down, even space was swiftly changing. Thus, one could see how terrifying the energy contained within it was.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
At this moment, waves of ear-piercing rumbling sounds began to be transmitted from the distance. Some meteorites had already successfully landed on the continent. Following their descent, numerous wild and violent energy ripples rapidly spread.
The power of the meteors was no small matter. It was not any weaker than a powerful attack from a War-Monarch. At that moment, countless forests were reduced to ashes, countless cities were razed to the ground, and even the enormous mountain ranges were riddled with holes.
The ground trembled as deep cracks spread out. It was even possible to see surging crimson magma beneath the ground. A few ancient volcanoes were instantly awakened and began to erupt after a thousand years of silence.
At this moment, the previously pitch-black land was filled with flames. Streaks of resplendent light constantly flickered, but the faces of the commoners were filled with tears. Because at this moment, the homes that they relied on for survival were suffering unprecedented destruction.
Roar!
Just then, a wild roar suddenly rang out in the distance. Looking over, they saw a huge flaming beast that was over a thousand feet long charging towards the Mysterious Heavenly Formation at an extremely fast speed.
It looked like a jackal, but there was an additional sharp horn on its head. Surging flames slowly rose from its body, as if the source of the flames came from the depths of its body.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
When the flaming beast arrived at the front and back of the formation, it began to launch a frenzied attack on the formation. However, its seemingly ferocious attacks were unable to shake the Mysterious Sky Formation at all. Not to mention breaking the formation with its strength, it did not even have the strength to make the formation tremble.
"It actually possesses the strength of a Low-Level Combat Emperor. Could this be the guardian of the Saint Stone, the Saint Demon?" Looking at the flaming beast that was launching a frenzied attack on the formation, a Low-Level Combat Emperor expert exclaimed in astonishment.
"No, the Saint Stone hasn't fallen yet, where did the Saint Demon come from? These should be the red meteors."
"Look, it's here again!" Xing Jue pointed into the distance and said.
Looking at the direction that Xing Jue was pointing at, everyone realized that there was indeed a large group of flaming beasts rushing towards the Mysterious Sky Formation. Not only did they look the same, even their strength was the same. It wasn't just in that direction, there were large groups of flaming beasts appearing in all directions.
"This … this is too many. Can this Connate Great Formation really withstand such a large number of Combat Emperor-Level beasts?"
In the blink of an eye, the Mysterious Sky Formation was surrounded by dozens of flaming beasts. They seemed to be mindless, like crazy wild dogs or bloodthirsty demons. They let out uneasy roars as they attacked the Mysterious Sky Formation. They seemed to be impatient to break the formation and devour all the living beings within it.
"Hmph, you're underestimating our Mysterious Sky Formation. Hall Master Dugu, let's show them the power of our Mysterious Sky Formation!"
After hearing the Combat Emperor's words, the Patriarch of the Sacred Elixir Clan, Lady Dan, rolled her eyes at him and said to Dugu Haoyu, who was standing beside her.
"En, being surrounded like this isn't a solution. Instead, it will cause panic among the citizens. Let's get rid of them!"
Dugu Haoyu nodded his head in agreement when he heard Lady Dan's words. He then closed his eyes and with a thought, a strange fluctuation fused into the formation's eye. At this moment, the entire Mysterious Sky Formation underwent a huge change.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst out from the outside of the Mysterious Sky Formation. It was like an energy ripple that spread rapidly. When the deep blue light dissipated, the flaming beasts that were surrounding the formation had completely disappeared. Not even their corpses were left.
"So powerful. Hall Master Dugu, how did you do it?" Looking at the scene in front of him, the Combat Emperor who was previously terrified suddenly shouted excitedly.
"As long as you fuse your thoughts into the formation's eye to disperse the energy, you can activate this kind of attack. However, your strength is too weak. You'd better stay here and transfer your energy to the formation. It's better for a mid-level Combat Emperor to activate this kind of attack."
Before Dugu Haoyu could reply, Lady Dan rolled her eyes at the Combat Emperor and said coldly.
"Eh …"
Lady Dan had a high status. Although the Combat Emperor was also a Combat Emperor, he was nothing compared to Lady Dan. Therefore, he didn't dare to say anything after being reprimanded by Lady Dan. He took a few steps back and looked out of the formation once again.
While everyone's attention was attracted by the flaming beasts, the blue meteorites had already landed on the ground. However, they didn't land near the Mysterious Sky Formation at all. They seemed to have been scattered all over the mainland.
Although the Saint Demon was nowhere to be seen, the fire beasts continued to charge towards the formation like a swarm of locusts. However, they were unable to cause any damage to the formation with their strength. Instead, they were killed by the formation's power after gathering together for a while.
As they watched the fire beasts that were continuously rushing over, only to be continuously killed, the emotions of the citizens, who were extremely terrified earlier, began to improve. One by one, they wiped away the tears on their faces and watched everything that was happening outside with hope. This was because they felt that they might really be able to avoid this calamity within the Mysterious Sky Great Formation.
