Jade Sea City had reacted very quickly, immediately activating the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation after receiving the news that the Flame Devils had vanished, circulating at full force.
However, facing the combined attacks of two Flame Devil Kings at this moment, the situation immediately became precarious.
Flame Devil Kings were equivalent to human Martial Saints in terms of strength.
While the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation was powerful, the one currently controlling it was not the City Lord Song Wuliang. Facing the combined attacks of two Martial Saint experts, the pressure on it was immense to the extreme.
The terrifying sea of flames pressured down on the jade sea, wanting to shatter the grand formation with the momentum of a thunderbolt.
Within Jade Sea City, the one currently controlling the grand formation was a Grand Elder of the Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster realm.
Fighting with his full strength, he barely managed to keep the grand formation from breaking.
If the enemy was just a single Flame Devil King, the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation wielded by this Grand Elder would be sufficient to block it.
However, with two Flame Devil Kings attacking together, his strength would be insufficient.
There were also four other Jade Sea City Martial Grandmaster experts who were stationed in four different directions, assisting him together.
However, that Grand Elder's face had already turned pale, before gradually turning an unhealthy flush of red.
The corners of his eyes, his mouth, and his nose were even beginning to bleed.
Currently, on the surface of the East Sea, East Dragon Island and Jade Sea City had already completely sunk beneath the sea's surface, no trace of them remaining.
However, above the sea's surface, the clear skies of ten thousand li could no longer be seen, no sea winds howling.
The surrounding heavens and earth seemed to have completely transformed into a world of flames, the sky crimson as the sea of clouds transformed into a sea of flames, infinite, infinite flames rampaging amidst the air.
Tens of thousands of fiery meteors descended from the sky, resembling the end of the world as they smashed towards the sea's surface together.
The massive jade blue spirit patterns on the sea's surface circulated unceasingly, dispelling the terrifying destructive power brought about by the blazing meteors.
A great amount of seawater evaporated, the sea's surface seemingly boiling.
Beneath the sea's surface, within Jade Sea City enveloped by the grand formation, Yan Zhaoge raised his head and saw that accompanied by the unceasing shattering of the spirit patterns, numerous cracks were beginning to appear on the jade sea above his head.
Occasionally, flowing fire would break through these cracks, descending from the sky towards the city he was in!
The other martial experts of Jade Sea City all struggled to resist these scattered falling meteors, preventing them from damaging their clan.
Ah Hu had a bitter expression as he looked in the direction of the inner city. "City Lord Song is still not out of seclusion?"
Yan Zhaoge shook his head rather helplessly, "From the looks of it, City Lord Song has also reached a critical juncture. Under such circumstances, it is no different from death seclusion. Whether he is seeking a breakthrough in his own cultivation or attempting to forge a Sacred Artifact, he is currently unable to split his attention."
Sucking in a deep breath, Yan Zhaoge calmed his emotions, bringing Ah Hu along as he hurried in the direction of the inner city.
"This tribulation of Jade Sea City is truly unavoidable." As they walked, Yan Zhaoge said, "If City Lord Song is not in secluded cultivation, normally speaking, he would probably have already rushed to the Outer East Sea, to the passageway connecting to the Flame Devil World."
"The enemy suddenly disappeared, before launching a sneak attack in the dark. Caught unprepared, Jade Sea City would still have to suffer this great tribulation."
Yan Zhaoge sighed, "City Lord Song is still here now, but the timing is too awkward. He might as well not be here."
Ah Hu pulled back the corners of his lips, "If it was outside, even if Jade Sea City was destroyed, as long as he, the Martial Saint, was still present, Jade Sea City might still be able to rise again one day. However, this time, it is possible that the Flame Devils will be able to scoop them up in one fell swoop."
"However, the Flame Devils are really too much. Pavilion Lord An appeared on the East Sea, but was shaken off by them, while City Lord Song has yet to appear. Why did the Flame Devils not go to Turbid Wave Pavilion, instead coming to Jade Sea City? On the surface, it clearly looks like Turbid Wave Pavilion's defences are weaker, making it easier for them to attack. Could it be that the Flame Devils know that City Lord Song is currently in death seclusion? "
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "Even the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall might not be able to confirm that City Lord Song will not be able to leave seclusion at this time, much less the Flame Devils."
"There are two possibilities. Firstly, the Flame Devils' concealment technique has some limitations, either in terms of time or distance, being insufficient for them to consecutively pass through the East and South Seas, killing all the way to the headquarters of Turbid Wave Pavilion in the Inland Lake Domain. They can only launch a sneak attack on Jade Sea City."
"Secondly, here at Jade Sea City, there is something that the Flame Devils want …"
Looking at the majestic great hall before him, Yan Zhaoge frowned, "What exactly did Jade Sea City prepare to forge their Sacred Artifact ah?"
Ah Hu's face was bitter, "Young Master, what do we do ah?"
"Nothing." Yan Zhaoge said casually, walking towards the great hall. Then, he just happened to see people walking out of the great hall, all of them being longtime Elders of Jade Sea City.
Other than them, there was also Song Chao.
Song Chao's expression was grave, "Junior Brother Yan, I'm sorry, having implicated you and our clan in this tribulation together."
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "This was an unexpected, sudden situation. No one could have predicted it."
After exchanging greetings with the higher echelon bigwigs of Jade Sea City, Yan Zhaoge didn't bother with pleasantries as he asked, "City Lord Song is unable to leave seclusion?"
Song Chao had a difficult look on his face.
At this moment, the jade blue great sea above Jade Sea City appeared increasingly weaker as even more fiery meteors pierced through the grand formation, smashing towards where Yan Zhaoge and the others stood.
A Jade Sea City Elder let out a muffled groan, waving his sleeve as a surging tide appeared out of nowhere, countless spirit talismans transforming into a spirit formation before stacking up to form a heavenly altar, blocking in mid-air, blocking that violent blazing fire.
As the two sides collided, the fiery meteors shattered, the heavenly altar's spirit formation also shattered, the seawater boiling and evaporating, turning into a dense white mist of water vapour.
The expressions of the Jade Sea City bigwigs were all solemn.
The situation grew more and more dangerous.
In the great hall behind them, the five longtime Elders of Jade Sea City were currently struggling to hold on.
After confirming that Song Wuliang was currently in death seclusion, unable to leave seclusion in time, Yan Zhaoge couldn't help but let out a long breath.
"With the current situation, the pressure on your clan's Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation is too great." Yan Zhaoge said in a heavy tone, "Forgive me for speaking recklessly, but after others learn of the situation here, even if they immediately rush over to reinforce us, they might not be able to make it in time, especially over at the Outer East Sea. Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An and the others still have to guard against other peak experts of the Flame Devils entering the Eight Extremities World afterwards."
"Currently, I'm afraid that we still have to save ourselves."
Song Chao and the others did not speak, quietly awaiting Yan Zhaoge's next words.
Even though many things were only known internally of Broad Creed Mountain, just the many glorious battle achievements that the outside world knew of had already long since shown that the abilities of this youth before them were definitely not something that his current cultivation base could measure up to.
Yan Zhaoge looked towards that great hall, "The best method is to buy time for City Lord Song. As long as City Lord Song leaves seclusion, the current crisis will naturally be resolved."
"Of the attacking Flame Devil experts now, there are two Flame Devil Kings. It would be best if all of them could be drawn away. If only one can be drawn away, the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation would also be able to hold on."
A longtime Elder of Jade Sea City sighed, "That would most likely only be able to draw away some Flame Devils of the Martial Grandmaster level. It would be very hard to draw away a Flame Devil King."
Looking at Song Chao and the others, Yan Zhaoge pointed at his chest, "Send me out of the encirclement. I will try to draw away a Flame Devil King from the outskirts."
As his words left his mouth, everyone was stunned. (To be continued.)
