Rumble!
The power swept over from the sky, crushing down on Zhang Xuan.
With the combined might of the five Ancient Sages, it felt as if the world was boiling over. What was before Zhang Xuan's eyes was no longer a spatial rift but a pitch-black darkness reminiscent of the bottom of a cauldron. The surrounding space felt like a speck of dust or a grain of sand. If one were to come into contact with it, one's soul would immediately dissipate into nothingness.
Ancient Sage Mo Ling's body trembled in fright upon seeing the overwhelming might, and his face turned ghastly pale. "Let's go!"
The five of them had clearly cultivated some sort of joint attack technique. Otherwise, they wouldn't have such power.
Even those at the peak of the Blood Reincarnation Realm might not be able to block this attack, let alone him.
He had thought that with the emergence of a guild leader in the Soul Oracle Guild, he would surely be able to resolve the threat posed by the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe and restore their true identity, thus granting their descendants the right to return to the Master Teacher Continent. Yet, who could have thought that the other party would be so unreliable?
What was going on?
Zhang Xuan hurriedly rushed up to the other party and grabbed his hand, intending to dodge the attack. However, the other party shook his head and flung his arm, freeing himself from Zhang Xuan's grasp.
"Good timing!"
Just as Zhang Xuan was perplexed, he saw the lips of the young man curling up, as if he was courting death.
"…"
His scalp went numb.
Just what in the world did the soul oracles do to have such an unreliable guild leader?
He felt so stifled that he could explode at any moment. Eventually, he gathered his strength and charged forward once more. However, before he could even come into contact with the young man's body, the young man suddenly raised his hands and shouted, "Retract!"
Rumble!
The black energy landed on the palm of Zhang Xuan, but contrary to his expectations, Zhang Xuan did not disintegrate into dust. Instead, he remained completely motionless. The combined attack of the five Ancient Sages split into five parts less than two centimeters away from him and scattered in all directions.
"This is … a formation?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling hurriedly turned his gaze downward, only to see all of the inscriptions in the Sovereign Chen Ling's royal palace lighting up simultaneously, as well as the formation, all of the inscriptions in the palace came to life.
Countless wisps of spiritual energy formed a pentagonal energy shield above the young man.
The other party's attack was absorbed by this light barrier and gathered into the formation once more.
"This is … forcefully absorbing the strength of the other party's attack?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling's body shuddered upon hearing those words.
He knew very well how powerful the joint attack of five Ancient Sages was. Even if there were three of him working together, he would not be able to withstand it.
Yet, not only did the young man before him manage to withstand it, he even absorbed the energy from it. Was this … the formation that he had set up within ten breaths?
With so many formations surrounding him, it was already difficult enough to set up a single formation. Yet, the formation that he had set up was actually able to fuse all of the formations together to unleash an even greater might …
It could no longer be described as heaven-defying!
"Break!"
Paying no heed to the astonishment of the soul oracle, Zhang Xuan raised his hands and struck the air.
The pentagonal formation above immediately gathered the energy from the other party's attack, forming a massive cage that flew toward the five of them.
"This …"
"Oh no …"
Clearly, the five Ancient Sages had not expected that their joint attack would be so easily nullified by the other party. Their faces paled as they joined forces once more to launch another attack.
Rumble!
As the two forces collided, the five Ancient Sages spurted mouthfuls of blood simultaneously as they were forced to retreat.
The formation of Sovereign Chen Ling was already capable of fending off Blood Reincarnation realm pinnacle experts in the first place. Coupled with Zhang Xuan's formation and the combined attacks of the five Ancient Sages, the combined might that the five Ancient Sages were exerting was beyond their imagination.
"Vicious, take the Dragonbone Divine Spear and follow me!"
Instead, he turned to Vicious, who was still fighting with Sovereign Chen Ling, and beckoned for the latter to return the favor. "You're right.
At the same time, a black ray of light shot forth from the pentagonal formation.
The black ray of light pierced through the entanglement of the formation, but Vicious managed to free himself from Sovereign Chen Ling's suppression. With a wave of his hand, the Dragonbone Divine Spear and three Ancient Sage corpses were pulled over to him.
"Let's go!"
After doing all that, Zhang Xuan flicked his wrist once more, and the pentagonal formation tore through space. Vicious, Ancient Sage Mo Ling, and Zhang Xuan leaped into the pentagonal formation, vanishing from sight in the blink of an eye.
"Hurry up and stop him!"
Seeing that Vicious had escaped, Sovereign Chen Ling was on the verge of exploding. He turned to the five Ancient Sages once more.
"You should study how he is able to control your Guardian Formation first," Sovereign Chen Ling said coldly.
"Given how powerful that formation is, all of us will be injured if we clash head-on!"
The five Ancient Sages harrumphed coldly.
As much as they wanted to obtain the item that Vicious was talking about, they knew that it would be a huge loss if they were to sustain severe injuries in the process.
As such, it was not that they were unable to defeat Vicious but that they were fearful of him.
"Humph!"
Sovereign Chen Ling's face paled in anger. He knew that he was only an ally with Vicious, not a subordinate. It was already a huge blessing that he could help Sovereign Chen Ling stop Vicious for a moment. It was indeed impossible for him to risk his life to stop Vicious.
The Otherworldly Demonic Tribe was innately powerful and had long lifespans. Under normal circumstances, they should have been able to conquer the Master Teacher Continent after tens of thousands of years. However, the main reason why they had never succeeded was because … they were simply too selfish!
It was impossible for them to work together!
Putting aside the three Sovereigns, even the Kings that Sovereign Chen Ling had gathered were the same. If they were as united as the master teachers, they would not have been trapped in the Otherworldly Demon Continent.
Of course, more importantly, they lacked an absolute ruler who could make everyone submit to him, just like Vicious from before.
Sovereign Chen Yong was the number one expert of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, but he was not much stronger than the others.
Sovereign Chen Ling took out a pill and swallowed it. His complexion immediately recovered a little before he turned his gaze to the formation below.
The formation around Sovereign Chen Ling's Sovereign Chen Ling was something that he and his predecessors had put in a lot of effort and manpower to set up. It only obeyed his commands or those of his choosing, so why would it listen to that fellow's commands and fend off the five Ancient Sages?
On top of that, it seemed to be even more powerful than before.
Unable to discern anything, Sovereign Chen Ling flicked his finger, and a droplet of blood floated in the air.
The key to controlling the formation lay in one's bloodline. As long as he used his bloodline, he would be able to gain full control over the formation and activate it.
Weng!
With the appearance of the blood, the formation below began to shake. Streams of energy flickered and quickly gathered at the center.
Just as he was about to take control of this power and form a new defensive barrier around Sovereign Chen Ling's palace, the ground below shook violently. Following that, a deafening sound rang out, so loud that it seemed as if it was going to burst his eardrums.
Rumble!
Immense power surged out from the very center of the palace, and the buildings that had stood for tens of thousands of years in the Sovereign Spirit Palace collapsed and turned into ash.
The formation beneath him had actually lost control of itself and self-destructed!
