The Zong clan of the Pingtian Divine Empire was a cultivation clan that focused on the Way of Formations. This clan was very famous even in the cultivation world of the Primordial World.
The Way of Formations was not something that just anyone could cultivate. Moreover, cultivating the Way of Formations was much more difficult than regular cultivation methods.
The Zong clan did not have any supreme Saint Immortals, but they did have Immortal Exalts. In particular, the two ancestors, Zong Chen and Zong Feng, were the cornerstones of the clan.
With the assistance of Zong Chen and Zong Feng, the third prince definitely had the upper hand in the battle for the throne. Even the first prince was very low-profile right now.
Actually, the two ancestors of the Zong clan had indirectly revealed some of the Human Emperor Pingtian's thoughts to the other princes by supporting the third prince.
Who was the greatest support of the Zong clan?
The Human Emperor Pingtian.
The Zong clan did not have any supreme Saint Immortals. This was their greatest sorrow because they had no choice but to rely on the Human Emperor Pingtian. Otherwise, the Zong clan would be in great danger.
When the Way of Formations was cultivated to the limit, it was possible to reach the Supreme Dao, but it was very difficult.
The Zong clan had never produced a supreme Saint Immortal, so they did not have a divine formation to protect them. If a supreme Saint Immortal came to invade, they would not be able to block a single slap from the supreme Saint Immortal no matter how many formations there were.
However, the Zong clan's Way of Formations was very useful. The Pingtian Divine Empire relied on the Zong clan's Way of Formations to dominate the world and fend off peak organisations.
Without a doubt, the two ancestors of the Zong clan were the Human Emperor Pingtian's trusted aides.
Human Emperor Pingtian's trusted aide supported the third prince. In other words, Human Emperor Pingtian might be interested in the third prince. Was the third prince going to become the sacred prince?
The various organisations in the city were all guessing and observing. None of them dared to choose a side so easily.
If they chose the wrong side, the consequences would be very severe. It was even possible for their entire clan to be wiped out.
However, the third prince had the upper hand right now.
The chances of the other princes competing against the third prince for the position of Sacred Prince were not high at all.
This was also the reason why the Third Prince was so high-profile and arrogant. In his opinion, the position of the Sacred Prince belonged to no one but him.
In his eyes, he was full of himself, but in the eyes of others, he was overconfident.
"Rumble …"
At this moment, a short mountain on the outskirts of the Celestial Wolf Mountain Range exploded. Dust rose into the sky and endless array patterns emerged in the void.
However, the moment the formation pattern appeared, it was immediately annihilated in the void. The power that was released was definitely destructive.
Formation discs collapsed one after another, killing formations collapsing. Wave after wave of destructive power erupted, obliterating everything. The ground sank, and a huge crater appeared.
At the location of the short mountain, the void seemed to have turned into primal chaos. All kinds of powers interweaved and dazzling lightning tore through the void.
"This …"
Third Prince Pingtian's followers were all dumbfounded when they saw this. The power was just too terrifying, and it was probably close to Extreme Power.
At this moment, Zong Chen and Zong Feng's hearts were bleeding. That was a formation plate that they had refined for countless years, and it was destroyed just like that.
It was not an easy task to refine every array disc.
In order to construct an array disc, especially an Immortal Venerable level array disc, one needed rare divine materials. Only such divine materials could withstand the formidable power of the Array Dao.
Rare materials were difficult to find, and the amount of effort needed to refine a formation plate was unimaginable for others.
Every single formation plate in the hands of the two ancestors of the Zong Clan was worth an astronomical price. They were comparable to Peerless Divine Fruits. It was impossible for others to obtain a formation plate like that.
But now, over ten of the formation plates that the two ancestors had personally refined had been destroyed. Even the two ancestors of the Zong Clan wanted to vomit blood at such a loss.
"It's not worth it!"
The two ancestors of the Zong Clan stared at the dust before them with long faces. The destructive power surged over, but the two of them ignored it.
"That ant …"
Zong Chen's face twitched.
"He died just like that?"
In the sky, the first prince remained calm. He was very shrewd and would not reveal his emotions so easily. That way, others would not be able to guess what he was thinking.
His instincts told him that the person called Chu Shaoyun was not as simple as he seemed.
However, the power unleashed by the self-destruction of the formation plates was just too great. Could Chu Shaoyun really block it?
He was at the center of the layers of killing formations!
"Hmph, he deserves to die for being so impudent before the third prince."
The followers of the third prince were both surprised and overjoyed.
"He's dead?"
Pan Jianming and Wang Chen, who fled even faster than rabbits, were speechless when they saw this. A Divine Transformation brat had actually made the two ancestors of the Zong Clan bleed so much!
"Tsk tsk, over ten formation plates, and they're all at the Immortal Venerable level."
Pan Jianming also felt his heart ache for the two ancestors of the Zong Clan.
The Five Elements Heavenly Sect was a peak organisation. There were formation masters in the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, but compared to the Zong Clan, the formation masters of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect were like children who had just learned how to walk.
"Haha, the Pingtian Divine Dynasty sure is wealthy. Even a prince has two Immortal Venerables."
At this moment, a loud laugh rang out. Afterwards, a figure with surging demonic aura broke through the clouds. He took a step and directly arrived nearby.
"The God Child of the Demon Palace?"
The third prince raised his eyelids and looked at the figure that shone with boundless demonic light in the sky like a demonic sun.
As a peak organisation of the Primordial World, the Demon Palace obviously had more than just one God Child.
"Hmm? It's Xue Tu Shen. That guy's a madman. Why has he come as well?"
Pan Jianming could not help but be surprised when he saw the demonic expert.
"He's Xue Tu Shen?"
Wang Chen was shocked when he heard that. Xue Tu Shen really was a madman. This guy had once massacred an entire city just because someone had underestimated him, leaving nothing behind.
Xue Tu Shen was the most murderous out of all the God Children of the Demon Palace.
"What are you doing here, you madman? We don't welcome you."
A follower of the third prince leapt forward and called out while pointing at the God Child in the sky.
"How dare you!"
Xue Tu Shen's face immediately sank. In the next moment, the third prince's follower suddenly cried out miserably and directly fell out of the sky.
"Xue Tu Shen, you-"
The eunuch beside the third prince screamed out again.
The third prince's follower fell out of the sky and struggled violently on the ground. His body was covered in blood as if there was something inside him.
Countless venomous insects seemed to be crawling about in the follower's body, tearing at him. Very soon, he was reduced to a bag of bones.
Poof!
With a soft sound, countless black poisonous insects broke out of the body of the Third Prince's follower and flew out.
The venomous insects directly vanished as soon as they emerged, which surprised everyone. The venomous insects had eaten an Immortal Emperor alive!
"Venomous insects that can eat an Immortal Emperor?"
Even the third prince's eyebrows twitched.
"Argh!"
"Something's burrowed into my body."
"Roar, it's a venomous insect!"
A dozen of the third prince's followers suddenly cried out miserably. Then, under everyone's horrified gazes, they were all eaten by the venomous insects.
"Hmph!"
The old ancestor of the Zong Clan, Zong Chen, suddenly waved his hands as over ten venomous bugs appeared in the air before exploding apart.
Zong Feng also killed a dozen venomous insects with a wave of his hand.
"Spirit-devouring Insects of the Void?"
The first prince's expression turned a little unsightly.
These venomous insects could even eat Immortal Emperors. It was truly terrifying. Moreover, the venomous insects' reproductive ability was too strong. After eating an Immortal Emperor, the number of venomous insects would increase by a few times.
After the venomous insects ate the Immortal Emperors, their numbers increased. They filled the sky like a black mass. However, all of the venomous insects disappeared in the next moment.
"It's really these venomous insects. Dammit, I'm done with this."
Pan Jianming, the divine son of the Five Elements Heaven Sect, slipped away. Before he left, he did not forget to pull Wang Chen away.
Wang Chen was only a Celestial Immortal. The Void Spirit-devouring Insects could escape into the void. It was impossible to guard against them. Once they burrowed into their bodies, it would be too late.
"Freeze!"
The eunuch servant beside the third prince made a move. He wanted to freeze the Void Spirit-devouring Insects with the power of Yin.
A terrifying cold qi immediately spread out from his body. Even the air seemed to solidify. The remaining Immortal Emperors hastily circulated their energy to resist the cold qi.
However, the void was still empty. Not a single Void Spirit-devouring Insect appeared.
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback. Immortal Emperors could not resist the Void Spirit-devouring Insects. Only Immortal Venerables with extremely powerful Divine Will could sense the existence of the Void Spirit-devouring Insects.
"Your Royal Highness …"
The eunuch servant was really frightened.
"Hmph!"
The third prince sneered. He took out a jade bottle and uncorked it.
"Withdraw!"
The third prince activated the bottle. In the next moment, a heaven-devouring power rushed out of the jade bottle. Countless sounds of metal rubbing against each other could be heard in the void.
When this sound entered their ears, it immediately caused a layer of goosebumps to appear on their bodies.
"Eh, this is …"
Xue Tu Shen glanced at the jade bottle in the third prince's hand with a strange look on his face.
The countless venomous insects that had escaped into the void appeared directly. They were sucked into the jade bottle in the third prince's hand and were sucked into it.
"They're just small venomous insects."
The third prince said disapprovingly.
"There's no Insect King. The Insect King is in your hands, right?"
The third prince looked at Xue Tu Shen.
"A bunch of clowns. You want to kill me? What a joke! "
At this moment, a voice was heard. Even the third prince was shocked when he heard the voice. The expression of the first prince, who was extremely shrewd, changed immediately.
"He's not dead? How is this possible … "
