Standing outside the valley, Nie Tian could hear the rumbling coming from the valley from afar.
Not daring to be careless, he stood guard outside the valley.
Following that, the rumbling in the valley became louder and louder. Ripples of formation power spread out and reverberated in the air.
"Such powerful ripples of formation power. I really can't fight against such power," Nie Tian said to himself as he felt the ripples of formation power.
Even though he was already a first-stage Demi Saint, he was still slightly weaker than Snow.
If it were not for Snow, he would not have been able to do anything to the Sacred Qi Vortex.
After a long time, the rumbling in the valley did not weaken. Instead, it was getting louder and louder.
"The Sacred Force Sealing Formation is really powerful. It's so hard to break it." Nie Tian frowned and murmured.
At the same time, in the valley.
Boom, boom, boom … Streaks of crimson sword radiance whizzed out and bombarded the Sacred Force Sealing Formation. The sword radiance flickered in the air and the formation patterns flowed.
At that moment, beads of sweat were already dripping from Snow's forehead.
Even though she had the Meridian of Three Lives and the Bloodline of Ten Thousand Swords, she would not be able to hold on much longer under the constant consumption of her Sword Will and power.
"Little lass, hang in there! The Seal is about to break!" Little Fat Cat looked at Xue 'er, its cat face filled with anxiety.
If Snow's power ran out and she could not continue attacking, the Sacred Force Sealing Formation would quickly recover, and all the previous attacks would be in vain.
Therefore, Snow had to hold on!
"Yeah!" Snow nodded heavily. Her delicate little face was slightly flushed, and she was clearly very nervous.
Boom! At that moment, a violent sound came from outside the valley. It sounded like a sudden clap of thunder.
"Oh no!" Fat Cat's heart sank, and he could not hide the panic on his face.
It was obvious that someone had arrived outside the valley and had clashed with Nie Tian.
Now, he could only hope that the intruder was not too strong, and that Nie Tian could handle it.
Outside the valley, a dozen figures appeared. Each of them was filled with murderous intent as they glared at Nie Tian.
The leader was a grey-robed old man. He looked at Nie Tian with a gloomy expression and said in a Cold voice, "Kid, get out of the way!"
"Impossible!" Nie Tian looked at the grey-robed old man and said Coldly.
As soon as they arrived outside the valley, they attacked Nie Tian.
It was fortunate that they were not all that powerful — most of them were low-level Demi Saints, with only a few being at the sixth level.
As for the grey-clothed old man in the lead, he was only a 1st rank Half-Saint.
"Kid, do you think this master doesn't know what's in this valley?" The grey-robed old man looked Cold at Nie Tian and said in a deep voice, "There's a Saint Qi whirlpool here, right?"
"Hmm?" Nie Tian frowned and his expression changed.
"This master is a Half-Saint divine array master. I would never be wrong about the ripples of a sacred barrier!" The grey-robed old man smiled Cold and said, "Kid, if you get out of the way now, I might reward you with a drop of Saint Qi liquid if I'm in a good mood after obtaining the Saint Qi whirlpool."
"If you don't get out of the way, don't blame this master for being merciless!"
Nie Tian smiled Cold, his gaze as firm as steel as he said in a deep voice, "As long as I'm here, no one should even think about taking half a step into the valley!"
The fact that the grey-robed old man was a Half-Saint divine array master was something that Nie Tian did not expect.
Array masters were rare, and those who could reach the level of Half-Saint were even rarer.
Nie Tian had met a Half-Saint divine array master, Mu Shuijing, back in the frozen ruins. That fellow was known as the number one divine array master in the ruins, but Mu Shuijing lost a bet and became Nie Tian's disciple by accident.
Moreover, Nie Tian had even given Mu Shuijing the blueprint of the formation of the Ghost Emperor's Tomb.
And now, another Half-Saint divine array master had appeared before him.
It appeared that the grey-robed old man was not a nobody in the Sacred Spirit Domain.
Even so, Nie Tian did not care about the grey-robed old man's identity. Anyone who dared to approach the valley would be killed without mercy!
"How arrogant of you, kid!" The grey-robed old man smiled Cold, but his gaze soon trembled and revealed a blazing heat.
He could already sense that the ripples of the formation within the valley were becoming more and more powerful, as if the sacred barrier was about to be broken.
He guessed that the one breaking the formation within the valley must be a master of array, and above that would be a Half-Saint, or perhaps even a Demi Saint.
Even in the entire Sacred Spirit Domain, there were only a handful of Demi Saint array masters.
The reason he did not attack Nie Tian until now was because he was worried that the master of array in the valley was of such high status that he could not afford to offend him.
"You can try." Nie Tian replied Cold, his eyes overflowing with killing intent.
One of the martial artists behind the grey-robed old man took a step forward and stared at Nie Tian as he said Cold, "Elder Yu, there's no need to waste words with that kid. Let us kill him right away!"
The grey-robed old man was named Yu Hongnian, an inner elder of the Yu family and a very high status within the family.
He had entered the Arctic Snow Mountain ahead of time not only to observe the terrain of the entire mountain, but also to search for the Sacred Qi Vortex.
After all, the Sacred World Seed of the Arctic Snow Mountain was recently discovered, and there would definitely be many Sacred Qi Vortexes within the entire mountain.
Still, he was very unlucky as he did not find any Sacred Qi Vortexes.
He had been with the main forces of the Yu family, but when he suddenly sensed the ripples of the sacred barrier, he hurried over with a few martial artists of the Yu family.
That was how the scene unfolding before his eyes happened.
Yu Hongnian looked at Nie Tian and waved his hand to stop the martial artist of the Yu family.
He was a half-step Divine Array Master and knew very well how difficult it was to break the sacred barrier, so he was certain that there must be an array master in the valley, and that person's attainment in array formations was definitely not below his.
A person with such attainment in array formations must have a very high status.
Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, he was not willing to offend the person inside.
However, the sacred barrier was about to be broken, and he was absolutely unwilling to leave at this time.
"Senior inside, junior Yu Hongnian has taken the liberty to come here and take a look at the Sacred Qi Vortex. Senior, please do us a favor and let us in." After thinking for a moment, Yu Hongnian shouted towards the valley.
He did not dare to barge in, so he wanted to be polite before resorting to force.
However, after his voice fell, there was no response from the valley, only ripples of array power spread out, as if mocking Yu Hongnian.
Yu Hongnian waited for a long time and did not get a response. He frowned and shouted again.
However, the result was still the same, there was still no response.
"Stop shouting, the master in the valley will not respond to you," Nie Tian smiled faintly and said.
Of course, he could see that Yu Hongnian was afraid of something, so he spoke according to what Yu Hongnian was thinking.
"Senior, if that's the case, then don't blame me for being rude." Yu Hongnian's old face became gloomy as he shouted. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he spat out two words Coldly, "Do it!"
